Regularization of the Covariant Derivative on Curved Space by Finite Matrices

چکیده
In a previous paper [ M. Hanada, H. Kawai and Y. Kimura, Prog. Theor. Phys. 114 (2005), 1295 ] it is shown that a covariant derivative on any n-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be expressed in terms of a set of n matrices, and a new interpretation of IIB matrix model, in which the diffeomorphism, the local Lorentz symmetry and their higher spin analogues are embedded in the unitary symmetry, is proposed. In this article we investigate several coset manifolds in this formulation and show that on these backgrounds, it is possible to carry out calculations at the level of finite matrices by using the properties of the Lie algebras. We show how the local fields and the symmetries are embedded as components of matrices and how to extract the physical degrees of freedom satisfying the constraint proposed in the previous paper.

Dimensional regularization of nonlinear sigma models on a finite time interval
We extend dimensional regularization to the case of compact spaces. Contrary to previous regularization schemes employed for nonlinear sigma models on a finite time interval (“quantum mechanical path integrals in curved space”) dimensional regularization requires only a covariant finite two-loop counterterm. This counterterm is nonvanishing and given by 1 8 h̄R. E-mail: [email protected] E-...
متن کاملHigher covariant derivative regulators and non-multiplicative renormalization
The renormalization algorithm based on regularization methods with two regulators is analyzed by means of explicit computations. We show in particular that regularization by higher covariant derivative terms can be complemented with dimensional regularization to obtain a consistent renormalized 4-dimensional Yang-Mills theory at the one-loop level. This shows that hybrid regularization methods ...
متن کاملDescribing Curved Spaces by Matrices
It is shown that a covariant derivative on any d-dimensional manifold M can be mapped to a set of d operators acting on the space of functions defined on the principal Spin(d)-bundle over M . In other words, any d-dimensional manifold can be described in terms of d operators acting on an infinite-dimensional space. Therefore it is natural to introduce a new interpretation of matrix models in wh...
متن کاملConsistency of the Hybrid Regularization with Higher Covariant Derivative and Infinitely Many Pauli-Villars
We study the regularization and renormalization of the Yang-Mills theory in the framework of the manifestly invariant formalism, which consists of a higher covariant derivative with an infinitely many PauliVillars fields. Unphysical logarithmic divergence, which is the problematic point on the Slavnov’s method, does not appear in our scheme, and the well-known vale of the renormalization group ...
متن کاملDimensional regularization of the path integral in curved space on an infinite time interval
We use dimensional regularization to evaluate quantum mechanical path integrals in arbitrary curved spaces on an infinite time interval. We perform 3-loop calculations in Riemann normal coordinates, and 2-loop calculations in general coordinates. It is shown that one only needs a covariant two-loop counterterm (VDR = h̄ 8 R) to obtain the same results as obtained earlier in other regularization ...
