Chiral boson on a circle revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
It is a well known result that the scalar field spectrum is composed of two chiral particles (Floreanini-Jackiw particles) of opposite chiralities. Also, that a Siegel particle spectrum is formed by a nonmover field (a Hull’s noton) and a FJ particle. We show here that, in fact, the spectrum of the chiral boson on a circle has a particle not present in its currently well known spectrum. PACS: 11.10.Kk, 11.15.-q, 12.39.Fe

Bertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random
The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...
متن کاملOn the finite size mass shift formula for stable particles
Lüscher’s finite size mass shift formula in a periodic finite volume, involving forward scattering amplitudes in the infinite volume, is revisited for the two stable distinguishable particle system. The generalized mass shift formulae for the boson and fermion are derived in the boson-boson and fermion-boson systems, respectively. The nucleon mass shift formula is given in the nucleon-pion syst...
متن کاملQuark Mass in the Sakai-Sugimoto Model of Chiral Symmetry Breaking
We re-analyze D8 brane embeddings in the geometry of a D4 brane wrapped on a circle that describe chiral symmetry breaking in a strongly coupled non-supersymmetric gauge theory. We argue that if the holographic fields are correctly interpreted, the original embeddings describe a complex quark mass and condensate in the theory. We show that in this interpretation when a quark mass is present the...
متن کاملChiral Boson Theory on the Light - Front
The front form framework for describing the quantized theory of chiral boson is discussed. It avoids the conflict with the requirement of the principle of microcausality as is found in the conventional instant form treatment. The discussion of the Floreanini-Jackiw model and its modified version for describing the chiral boson becomes very transparent on the light-front.
متن کاملThe electroweak chiral Lagrangian revisited ∗
Using a manifestly gauge-invariant approach we show that the set of low-energy constants in the electroweak chiral Lagrangian currently used in the literature is redundant. In particular, by employing the equations of motion for the gauge fields, one can choose to remove two low-energy constants which contribute to the self-energies of the gauge bosons. The relation of this result to the experi...
