Skyrmions coupled with the electromagnetic field via the gauged Wess - Zumino term

چکیده
In soliton models expressed in terms of the non-linear chiral field, the electric current has an anomalous gauge-field contribution as the baryon current does. We study the spin polarized Skyrmions coupled with the electromagnetic field via the gauged Wess-Zumino term and calculate configurations of the Skyrmion and the gauge field with boundary conditions to ensure the physical charge number for baryons. Although the electromagnetic field via the gauged Wess-Zumino term affects physical quantities in small amounts, we find that the magnetic field forms a dipole structure owing to a circular electric current around the spin quantization axis of the soliton. This is understood on an analogy with the Meissner effect in the super conductor. The electric charge distributions turn out to have characteristic structures depending on the total charge, which suggests the intrinsic deformation of baryons due to orbital motions of the constituents.

Dimensional Deconstruction and Wess–Zumino–Witten Terms
Abstract A new technique is developed for the derivation of the Wess-Zumino-Witten terms of gauged chiral lagrangians. We start in D = 5 with a pure (mesonless) Yang-Mills theory, which includes relevant gauge field Chern-Simons terms. The theory is then compactified, and the effective D = 4 lagrangian is derived using lattice techniques, or “deconstruction,” where pseudoscalar mesons arise fro...
متن کاملGauged Heterotic Sigma-models
The gauging of isometries in general sigma-models which include fermionic terms which represent the interaction of strings with background Yang-Mills fields is considered. Gauging is possible only if certain obstructions are absent. The quantum gauge anomaly is discussed, and the (1,0) supersymmetric generalisation of the gauged action given. Non-linear sigma-models are important two-dimensiona...
متن کاملThe canonical structure of Wess-Zumino-Witten models
The phase space of theWess-Zumino-Witten model on a circle with target space a compact, connected, semisimple Lie group G is defined and the corresponding symplectic form is given. We present a careful derivation of the Poisson brackets of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model. We also study the canonical structure of the supersymmetric and the gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models.
متن کاملA 10-form Gauge Potential and an M-9-brane Wess-zumino Action in Massive 11d Theory
We discuss some properties of an M-9-brane in “massive 11D theory” proposed by Bergshoeff, Lozano and Ortin. A 10-form gauge potential is consistently introduced into the massive 11D supergravity, and an M-9-brane Wess-Zumino action is constructed as that of a gauged σ-model. Using duality relations is crucial in deriving the action, which we learn from the study of a 9-form potential in 10D ma...
متن کاملGauging Wess-zumino-witten Models
We review some aspects of gauged WZW models. By choosing a solvable subgroup as gauge group, one is lead to three main applications: the construction of field theories with an extended conformal symmetry, the construction of the effective action of (extended) 2D gravities and the systematic construction of string theories with some extended gauge symmetry.
