Massless scalar fields in 1+1 dimensions and Krein spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the Krein realization of the Hilbert space for a massless scalar field in 1+1 dimensions. We find convergence criteria and the completion of the space of test functions S with the topology induced by the Krein scalar product. Finally, we show that the interpretation for the Fourier components as probability amplitudes for the momentum operator is lost in this case.

We study duality of field theories in (d+1) dimensional flat Euclidean space and (d+1) dimensional Euclidean AdS space for both scalar the and vector fields. In the case of the scalar theory, the injective map between conformally coupled massless scalars in two spaces is reviewed. It is shown that for vector fields the injective map exists only in four dimensions. Since Euclidean AdS space is e...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction of Spacetime Induced by Nonlinear Scalar Dynamics and Noncompact Extra Dimensions
We discuss general aspects of dimensional reduction induced by nonlinear scalar dynamics, including the small fluctuation expansion of the action. The case of compact, positively curved scalar manifolds described by symmetric spaces G / H is shown to be free of t~/chyonic instabilities; the spectrum consists of a graviton, a massless scalar and towers of massive spin-two, spin-one, and spin-zer...
متن کاملKrein Spaces in de Sitter Quantum Theories
Experimental evidences and theoretical motivations lead to consider the curved space-time relativity based on the de Sitter group SO0(1, 4) or Sp(2, 2) as an appealing substitute to the flat space-time Poincaré relativity. Quantum elementary systems are then associated to unitary irreducible representations of that simple Lie group. At the lowest limit of the discrete series lies a remarkable f...

Fock module realization for the unitary singleton representations of the d − 1 dimensional conformal algebra o(d − 1, 2), which correspond to the spaces of single-particle states of massless scalar and spinor in d− 1 dimensions, is given. The pattern of the tensor product of a pair of singletons is analyzed in any dimension. It is shown that for d > 3 the tensor product of two boson singletons ...
متن کاملφ-Model and Holography in Four Dimensions
The generating function of correlators of dual operators on the boundary of (A)dS4 space corresponding to the conformally coupled φ 4-model is obtained up to first order in the coupling constant by using the conformal map between massless scalar fields in (Euclidean) Minkowski space and conformally coupled scalars on (Euclidean anti) de Sitter space. Some exact classical solutions of the nonlin...
