A Note on Functional Integral over the Local Gauge Group
نویسندگان
چکیده
We evaluated some particular type of functional integral over the local gauge group C(R, U(1)) by going to a discretized lattice. The results explicitly violates the property of the Haar measure. We also analysed the FaddeevPopov method through a toy example. The results also violates the property of the Haar measure. PACS numbers:11.15.-q; 12.20.-m Typeset using REVTEX

A Note on Invariant Measure on the Local Gauge Group
In this paper we investigate the problem of the existence of invariant measures on the local gauge group. We prove that it is impossible to define a finite translationally invariant measure on the local gauge group C∞(Rn, G)(where G is an arbitrary matrix Lie group). Functional integral over the local gauge group is a commonly employed technique in the study of gauge field theories. Its earlies...
متن کاملCitation and the Construction of Subdisciplinary Knowledge
The main purpose of this study was to examine the citation patterns of discussion sections employed by local and international article writers in ESP and EGP subdisciplines of applied linguistics. Eighty article discussion sections were selected from well-established local and international journals in the field of applied linguistics, and they were sorted according to Thompson and Tribble’s (2...
متن کاملFunctional Integration over Geometries
The geometric construction of the functional integral over coset spaces M/G is reviewed. The inner product on the cotangent space of infinitesimal deformations of M defines an invariant distance and volume form, or functional integration measure on the full configuration space. Then, by a simple change of coordinates parameterizing the gauge fiber G, the functional measure on the coset space M/...
متن کاملA pr 2 00 1 MASS FROM GAUGE AVERAGING IN FIELD THEORY
In the path-integral formulation of gauge theories the gauge-averaging functional may be chosen to be of non-local nature, and this leads to a non-local formalism, with invertible integro-differential operators on field perturbations. This paper derives the form of integral kernels in the gauge-averaging functional (both local and non-local) for which a mass term is obtained in the one-loop sem...
متن کاملRegularisation of non - local actions in two - dimensional field theories
Taking the induced action for gauge fields coupled to affine currents as an example, we show how loop calculations in non-local two-dimensional field theories can be regulated. Our regularisation method for one loop is based on the method of Pauli and Villars. We use it to calculate the renormalisation factors for the corresponding effective actions, clearing up some discrepancies in the litera...
