Is Lavelle-McMullan transformation a really new symmetry in QED?

چکیده
Lavelle-McMullan symmetry of QED is examined at classical and quantum levels. It is shown that Lavelle-McMullan symmetry does not give any new non-trivial information in QED by examining the Ward-Takahashi identities. Being inspired by the examination of Ward-Takahashi identity, we construct the generalized non-local and non-covariant symmetries of QED.

Much is known about the charged sectors of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). The state space displays rich superselection sectors where, in particular, the velocity of charged particles , like the electron, labels different sectors [1,2]. The BRST charge can be used effectively to project out the gauge invariant, physical states, but the resulting state space is an infinite tensor product of these...
متن کاملOn the Physical Propagators of Qed
The true variables in QED are the transverse photon components and Dirac’s physical electron, constructed out of the fermionic field and the longitudinal components of the photon. We calculate the propagators in terms of these variables to one loop and demonstrate their gauge invariance. The physical electron propagator is shown not to suffer from infrared divergences in any gauge. In general, ...
متن کاملCharged Matter: Physics and Renormalisation
Descriptions of the ground state in unbroken gauge theories with charged particles are discussed. In particular it is shown that the on-shell Green’s functions and S-matrix elements corresponding to the scattering of these variables in QED are free of soft and phase infra red divergences and that these variables may be multiplicatively renormalised.

Non-commutative field theory as a theory including the Lorentz violation can be constructed in two different ways. In the first method, the non-commutative fields are the same as the ordinary ones while the gauge group is restricted to U(n). For example, the symmetry group of standard model in non-commutative space is U(3)×(2)×U(1) which can be reduced to SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) by two appropriate spo...
متن کاملOn Quark Confinement
A sufficient condition for the confinement of quarks is presented. Quarks are shown to be unobservable. Colour singlets are however, observables. The results of deep inelastic scattering are discussed. We argue that QCD does not exhibit a deconfining transition.
