چکیده
We quantize the spontaneously broken abelian U(1) Higgs model by using the improved BFT and BFV formalisms. We have constructed the BFT physical fields, and obtain the first class observables including the Hamiltonian in terms of these fields. We have also explicitly shown that there are exact form invariances between the second class and first class quantities. Then, according to the BFV formalism, we have derived the corresponding Lagrangian having U(1) gauge symmetry. We also discuss at the classical level how one easily gets the first class Lagrangian from the symmetry-broken second class Lagrangian.

متن کاملHamiltonian quantization of effective Lagrangians with massive vector fields.
Effective Lagrangians containing arbitrary interactions of massive vector fields are quantized within the Hamiltonian path integral formalism. It is proven that correct Hamiltonian quantization of these models yields the same result as naive Lagrangian quantization (Matthews’s theorem). This theorem holds for models without gauge freedom as well as for (linearly or nonlinearly realized) spontan...
متن کاملThe fading of symmetry non-restoration at finite temperature
The fate of symmetries at high temperature determines the dynamics of the very early universe. It is conceivable that temperature effects favor symmetry breaking instead of restoration. Concerning global symmetries, the non-linear sigma model is analyzed in detail. For spontaneously broken gauge symmetries, we propose the gauge boson magnetic mass as a “flag” for symmetry (non)-restoration. We ...
متن کاملGeometry of the BFV Theorem
We describe gauge-fixing at the level of virtual paths in the path integral as a nonsymplectic BRST-type of flow on the path phase space. As a consequence a gauge-fixed, non-local symplectic structure arises. Restoring of locality is discussed. A pertinent anti-Lie-bracket and an infinite dimensional group of gauge fermions are introduced. Generalizations to Sp(2)-symmetric BLT-theories are mad...

We quantize the chiral Schwinger Model by using the Batalin-Tyutin formalism. We show that one can systematically construct the rst class constraints and the desired involutive Hamiltonian, which naturally generates all secondary constraints. For a > 1, this Hamiltonian gives the gauge invariant Lagrangian including the well-known WessZumino terms, while for a = 1 the corresponding Lagrangian h...
