Self-dual Action for Fermionic Fields and Gravitation

چکیده
This paper studies the self-dual Einstein-Dirac theory. A generalization is obtained of the Jacobson-Smolin proof of the equivalence between the self-dual and Palatini purely gravitational actions. Hence one proves equivalence of self-dual EinsteinDirac theory to the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble-Dirac theory. The Bianchi symmetry of the curvature, core of the proof, now contains a non-vanishing torsion. Thus, in the self-dual framework, the “extra” terms entering the equations of motion with respect to the standard Einstein-Dirac field equations, are neatly associated with torsion.

Yang-Mills, Gravity, and 2D String Symmetries
In this work we use constructs from the dual space of the semi-direct product of the Virasoro algebra and the affine Lie algebra of a circle to write a theory of gravitation which survives in any dimension, yet takes its origins in the symmetries of string theory. The dual space of the algebra provides a natural residual symmetries left by gauge fixing and Gauss law constraints for a field theo...
متن کاملSuperconformal symmetry in the interacting theory of (2, 0) tensor multiplets and self-dual strings
We investigate the concept of superconformal symmetry in six dimensions, applied to the interacting theory of (2, 0) tensor multiplets and self-dual strings. The action of a superconformal transformation on the superspace coordinates is found, both from a six-dimensional perspective and by using a superspace with eight bosonic and four fermionic dimensions. The transformation laws for all field...

We review various ways to express the partition function of the single-band Hubard model as a path integral. The emphasis is made on the derivation of the action in the integrand of the path integral and the results obtained from this approach are discussed only briefly. Since the single-band Hubbard model is a pure fermionic model on the lattice and its Hamiltonian is a polynomial in creat...
متن کامل2 On the dual equivalence of the self - dual and topologically massive B ∧ F models coupled to dynamical fermionic matter
We study the equivalence between the B ∧F self-dual (SDB∧F ) and the B ∧F topologically massive (TMB∧F ) models including the coupling to dynamical, U(1) charged fermionic matter. This is done through an iterative procedure of gauge embedding that produces the dual mapping. In the interactive cases, the minimal coupling adopted for both vector and tensor fields in the self-dual representation i...
متن کاملSelf-Dual Solutions to Euclidean Gravity
The discovery of self-dual instanton solutions in Euclidean Yang-Mills theory [I] has recently stimulated a great deal of interest in self-dual solutions to Einstein’s theory of gravitation. One would expect that the relevant instanton-like metrics would be those whose gravitational fields are self-dual, localized in Euclidean spacetime and free of singularities. In fact, solutions have been fo...
