Quantum group gauge theory on quantum spaces

چکیده
We construct quantum group-valued canonical connections on quantum homogeneous spaces, including a q-deformed Dirac monopole on the quantum sphere of Podles quantum differential coming from the 3-D calculus of Woronowicz on SUq(2) . The construction is presented within the setting of a general theory of quantum principal bundles with quantum group (Hopf algebra) fiber, associated quantum vector bundles and connection one-forms. Both the base space (spacetime) and the total space are non-commutative algebras (quantum spaces).

Quantum Group Gauge Theory on Classical Spaces
We study the quantum group gauge theory developed elsewhere in the limit when the base space (spacetime) is a classical space rather than a general quantum space. We show that this limit of the theory for gauge quantum group Uq(g) is isomorphic to usual gauge theory with Lie algebra g. Thus a new kind of gauge theory is not obtained in this way, although we do find some differences in the coupl...
متن کاملCoalgebra Gauge Theory
We develop a generalised gauge theory in which the role of gauge group is played by a coalgebra and the role of principal bundle by an algebra. The theory provides a unifying point of view which includes quantum group gauge theory, embeddable quantum homogeneous spaces and braided group gauge theory, the latter being introduced now by these means. Examples include ones in which the gauge groups...
متن کاملHermitian metric on quantum spheres
The paper deal with non-commutative geometry. The notion of quantumspheres was introduced by podles. Here we define the quantum hermitianmetric on the quantum spaces and find it for the quantum spheres.
متن کاملTopological Gauge Theories from Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics on Spaces of Connections
We rederive the recently introduced N = 2 topological gauge theories, representing the Euler characteristic of moduli spaces M of connections, from supersymmetric quantum mechanics on the infinite dimensional spaces A/G of gauge orbits. To that end we discuss variants of ordinary supersymmetric quantum mechanics which have meaningful extensions to infinite-dimensional target spaces and introduc...
متن کاملGauge Symmetries, Topology and Quantisation
The following two loosely connected sets of topics are reviewed in these lecture notes: 1) Gauge invariance, its treatment in field theories and its implications for internal symmetries and edge states such as those in the quantum Hall effect. 2) Quantisation on multiply connected spaces and a topological proof the spin-statistics theorem which avoids quantum field theory and relativity. Under ...
