Induced charge matching and Wess–Zumino term on quantum modified moduli space

چکیده
Recently it was proposed that matching of global charges induced in vacuum by slowly varying, topologically non-trivial scalar fields provides consistency conditions analogous to the ’t Hooft anomaly matching conditions. We study matching of induced charges in supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories with quantum modified moduli space. We find that the Wess–Zumino term should be present in the low energy theory in order that these consistency conditions are satisfied. We calculate the lowest homotopy groups of the quantum moduli space, and show that there are no obstructions to the existence of the Wess–Zumino term at arbitrary N . The explicit expression for this term is given. It is shown that neither vortices nor topological solitons exist in the model. The case of softly broken supersymmetry is considered as well. We find that the possibility of global baryon number violating vacuum is strongly disfavored.

Quantum Mechanically Induced Wess-Zumino Term in the Principal Chiral Model
It is argued that, in the two dimensional principal chiral model, the Wess-Zumino term can be induced quantum mechanically, allowing the model with the critical value of the coupling constant λ = 8π/|k| to turn into the WessZumino-Novikov-Witten model at the quantum level. The Wess-Zumino term emerges from the inequivalent quantizations possible on a sphere hidden in the configuration space of ...

We introduce a notion of crystalline cohomology for superschemes and show that it is isomorphic to the usual crystalline cohomology of the underlying commutative scheme if 2 is invertible on the base. Wess-Zumino terms play a crucial role in the matching of theoretical predictions in the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics of the decay of the neutral pion π into two photons π −→ γ + γ and the e...

متن کاملThe Wess-Zumino term for a harmonic map
We calculate the Wess-Zumino term Γ(g) for a harmonic map g : Σ → G of a closed surface to a compact, simply connected, simple Lie group in terms of the energy and the holonomy of the Chern-Simons line bundle on the moduli space of flat G-connections. In the case Σ = S2 we deduce that Γ(g) is 0 or π and for Σ = T 2 and G = SU(2) we give a formula involving hyperelliptic integrals.

We prove that all SYM theories that have a quantum modified moduli spaceM defined by a single constraint equation have trivial homotopy groups πj(M) for j = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. This implies that none of these theories admit skyrmions or vortexes -a fact that had only been proved for supersymmetric QCD with Nf = Nc and Sp(2N) with 2N + 2 fundamentalswhereas those of them with a nontrivial H5(M) ad...
