Lie Superalgebra Valued Self-Dual Yang-Mills Fields and Symmetry Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-dual Yang-Mills fields with values in a Lie superalgebra on the four-dimensional Euclidean space and pseudo-Euclidean space of signature (2,2) can be reduced by subgroups of the corresponding conformal group to integrable systems with anticommuting degrees of freedom. Examples of reductions are presented.

Classification of Generalized Symmetries of the Yang-mills Fields with a Semi-simple Structure Group
A complete classification of generalized symmetries of the Yang-Mills equations on Minkowski space with a semi-simple structure group is carried out. It is shown that any generalized symmetry, up to a generalized gauge symmetry, agrees with a first order symmetry on solutions of the Yang-Mills equations. Let g = g1+ · · ·+gn be the decomposition of the Lie algebra g of the structure group into ...
متن کاملHigher-dimensional WZW Model on Kähler Manifold and Toroidal Lie Algebra
We construct a generalization of the two-dimensional Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a 2n-dimensional Kähler manifold as a group-valued non-linear sigma model with an anomaly term containing the Kähler form. The model is shown to have an infinitedimensional symmetry which generates an n-toroidal Lie algebra. The classical equation of motion turns out to be the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau equation, whic...
متن کاملNovel generalization of three-dimensional Yang-Mills theory
A class of new nonabelian gauge theories for vector fields on three manifolds is presented. The theories describe a generalization of three-dimensional YangMills theory featuring a novel nonlinear gauge symmetry and field equations for Lie-algebra valued vector potential fields. The nonlinear form of the gauge symmetry and field equations relies on the vector cross-product and vector curl opera...
متن کاملDualisation of the D=7 Heterotic String
The dualisation and the first-order formulation of the D = 7 abelian Yang-Mills supergravity which is the low energy effective limit of the D = 7 fully Higssed heterotic string is discussed. The nonlinear coset formulation of the scalars is enlarged to include the entire bosonic sector by introducing dual fields and by constructing the Lie superalgebra which generates the dualized coset element.
متن کاملHigher Yang–Mills Theory
Electromagnetism can be generalized to Yang–Mills theory by replacing the group U(1) by a nonabelian Lie group. This raises the question of whether one can similarly generalize 2-form electromagnetism to a kind of ‘higher-dimensional Yang–Mills theory’. It turns out that to do this, one should replace the Lie group by a ‘Lie 2-group’, which is a category C where the set of objects and the set o...
