Point Splitting and U ( 1 ) Gauge Invariance
نویسنده
چکیده
A gauge transformation in quantum electrodynamics involves the product of field operators at the same space-time point and hence does not have a well-defined meaning. One way to avoid this difficulty is to generalize the gauge transformation by using different space-time points in the spirit of Dirac's point splitting. Such a generalization indeed exists and the resulting generalized infinitesimal gauge transformation takes the form of an infinite series in the coupling constant. In this text I will present two examples of generalized gauge transformations.

Grand - Unification Scale Generation through the Anomalous U ( 1 ) Breaking
We discuss the anomalous U(1) gauge symmetry as a mechanism of generating the grand-unification scale. We conclude that unification to a simple group cannot be realized unless some parameters are “tuned”, and that models with product gauge groups are preferred. We consider the “R-invariant natural unification” model with gauge groups SU(5)GUT×U(3)H . In this model the doublet-triplet splitting ...
متن کامل( N ) gauge theories
We study the one–loop renormalization of noncommutative U (N) gauge theories without matter. We find that for N > 1 the renormalization of the four-point function requires a counterterm which is not present in ordinary gauge theories and breaks the noncommutative gauge invariance. This counterterm is reminiscent of a nonplanar contribution in string theory.
متن کاملThe minimal U(1)′ extension of the MSSM
Motivated by the apparent need for extending the MSSM and perhaps mitigating naturalness problems associated with the μ parameter and fine-tuning of the soft masses, we augment the MSSM spectrum by a SM gauge singlet chiral superfield, and enlarge the gauge structure by an additional U(1) invariance, so that the gauge and Higgs sectors are relatively secluded. One crucial aspect of U(1) models ...
متن کاملPerturbative study for domain-wall fermions in 4+1 dimensions.
We investigate a U(1) chiral gauge model in 4+1 dimensions formulated on the lattice via the domain-wall method. We calculate an effective action for smooth background gauge fields at a fermion one loop level. From this calculation we discuss properties of the resulting 4 dimensional theory, such as gauge invariance of 2 point functions, gauge anomalies and an anomaly in the fermion number curr...
متن کاملOn Open String σ-Model and Noncommutative Gauge Fields
We consider the ordinary and noncommutative Dirac-Born-Infeld theories within the open string σ-model. First, we propose a renormalization scheme, hybrid point splitting regularization, that leads directly to the Seiberg-Witten description including the two-form Φ. We also show how such a form appears within the standard renormalization scheme just by some freedom in changing variables. Second,...
