Gauge Consistent Wilson Renormalization Group II: Non-Abelian case
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a Wilsonian formulation of non-Abelian gauge theories explicitly consistent with axial gauge Ward identities. The issues of unitarity and dependence on the quantization direction are carefully investigated. A Wilsonian computation of the one-loop QCD beta function is performed. PACS: 11.10.Hi, 11.15.-q, 11.38.Bx.

متن کاملThe Renormalization Group Approach to the Confining String
The renormalization group approach towards the string representation of non abelian gauge theories translates, in terms of the string sigma model beta function equations, the renormalization group evolution of the gauge coupling constant and Zamolodchikov‘s c function. Tachyon stability, glueball mass gap, renormalization group evolution of the c function and the area law for the Wilson loop ar...
متن کاملA manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization group
In these lectures we describe the construction of a gauge invariant renormalization group equation for pure non-Abelian gauge theory. In the process, a non-perturbative gauge invariant continuum Wilsonian effective action is precisely defined. The formulation makes sense without gauge fixing and thus manifest gauge invariance may be preserved at all stages. In the large N limit (of SU(N) gauge ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Symmetry Breaking and the Renormalization of the Chern-Simons Term
We calculate the one-loop perturbative correction to the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term in non-abelian gauge theory in the presence of Higgs fields, with a variety of symmetry-breaking structures. In the case of a residual U(1) symmetry, radiative corrections do not change the coefficient of the ChernSimons term. In the case of an unbroken non-abelian subgroup, the coefficient of the rele...
