Continuum Gauge Fields from Lattice Gauge Fields

چکیده
On the lattice some of the salient features of pure gauge theories and of gauge theories with fermions in complex representations of the gauge group seem to be lost. These features can be recovered by considering part of the theory in the continuum. The prerequisite for that is the construction of continuum gauge fields from lattice gauge fields. Such a construction, which is gauge covariant and complies with geometrical constructions of the topological charge on the lattice, is given in this paper. The procedure is explicitly carried out in the U(1) theory in two dimensions, where it leads to simple results.

Lattice Schwinger model with interpolated gauge fields.
We analyze the Schwinger model on an infinite lattice using the continuum definition of the fermion determinant and a linear interpolation of the lattice gauge fields. The possible class of interpolations for the gauge fields, compatible with gauge invariance is discussed. The effective action for the lattice gauge field is computed for the Wilson formulation as well as for non-compact lattice ...
متن کاملInterpolated Lattice Gauge Fields and Chiral Fermions in the Schwinger Model
The effective action induced by fermions in the chiral Schwinger model with charges (3,4,5) is investigated. Pauli-Villars regularization is combined with momentum cutoff for the evaluation of the fermion determinants on continuum gauge fields interpolated between lattice points. The convergence and gauge variance are studied numerically on gauge configurations taken from quenched updating.
متن کاملInterpolation of Non-abelian Lattice Gauge Fields
We propose a method for interpolating non-abelian lattice gauge fields to the continuum, or to a finer lattice, which satisfies the properties of (i) transverse continuity, (ii) (lattice) rotation and translation covariance, (iii) gauge covariance, (iv) locality. These are the properties required for use in our earlier proposal for non-perturbative formulation and simulation of chiral gauge the...
متن کاملGauge fixing the SU(N) lattice-gauge-field Hamiltonian.
We exactly gauge-fix the Hamiltonian for the SU(N) lattice gauge field and eliminate the redundant gauge degrees of freedom. The gauge-fixed lattice Hamiltonian, in particular for the Coulomb gauge, has many new terms in addition to the ones obtained in the continuum formulation.

متن کاملLattice Gauge Fields and Discrete Noncommutative Yang-Mills Theory
We present a lattice formulation of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory in arbitrary even dimensionality. The UV/IR mixing characteristic of noncommutative field theories is demonstrated at a completely nonperturbative level. We prove a discrete Morita equivalence between ordinary Yang-Mills theory with multi-valued gauge fields and noncommutative Yang-Mills theory with periodic gauge fields. Usin...
