چکیده

We define the chiral zero modes’ phase space of the G = SU(n) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model as an (n − 1)(n + 2)dimensional manifoldMq equipped with a symplectic form Ωq involving a Wess-Zumino (WZ) term ρ which depends on the monodromy M and is implicitly defined (on an open dense neighbourhood of the group unit) by dρ(M) = 1 3 tr (MdM) . (∗) This classical system exhibits a Poisson-Lie symmetry that evolves upon quantization into an Uq(sln) symmetry for q a primitive even root of 1 . For each (non-degenerate, constant) solution of the classical Yang-Baxter equation we write down explicitly a ρ(M) satisfying Eq.(∗) and invert the form Ωq , thus computing the Poisson bivector of the system. The resulting Poisson brackets (PB) appear as the classical counterpart of the exchange relations of the quantum matrix algebra studied previously in [32]. We argue that it is advantageous to equate the determinant D of the zero modes’ matrix (aα) to a pseudoinvariant under permutations q-polynomial in the SU(n) weights, rather than to adopt the familiar convention D = 1 . A finite dimensional ”Fock space” operator realization of the factor algebra Mq/Ih , where Ih is an appropriate ideal in Mq for qh = −1 , is briefly discussed.

Quantum Mechanically Induced Wess-Zumino Term in the Principal Chiral Model

It is argued that, in the two dimensional principal chiral model, the Wess-Zumino term can be induced quantum mechanically, allowing the model with the critical value of the coupling constant λ = 8π/|k| to turn into the WessZumino-Novikov-Witten model at the quantum level. The Wess-Zumino term emerges from the inequivalent quantizations possible on a sphere hidden in the configuration space of ...

Why Auxiliary Fields Matter : The Strange Case of the 4 D , N = 1 Supersymmetric QCD Effective Action

Within a four dimensional manifestly N = 1 supersymmetric action, we show that Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) terms can be embedded in an extraordinarily simple manner into a purely chiral superaction. In order to achieve this result it is necessary to assign spin-0 and spin-1/2 degrees of freedom both to chiral superfields and as well to non-minimal scalar multiplets. We propose a new formu...

Low-Energy Limit of Yang–Mills with Massless Adjoint Quarks: Chiral Lagrangian and Skyrmions

If the fundamental quarks of QCD are replaced by massless adjoint quarks the pattern of the chiral symmetry breaking drastically changes compared to the standard one. It becomes SU(Nf ) →SO(Nf ). While for Nf = 2 the chiral Lagrangian describing the “pion” dynamics is well-known, this is not the case at Nf > 2. We outline a general strategy for deriving chiral Lagrangians for the coset spaces M...
