Smooth Non-Abelian Bosonization
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an extension of “smooth bosonization” to the non-Abelian case. We construct an enlarged theory containing both bosonic and fermionic fields which exhibits a local chiral gauge symmetry. A gauge fixing function depending on one real parameter allows us to interpolate smoothly between a purely fermionic and a purely bosonic representation. The procedure is, in the special case of bosonization, complementary to the approach based on duality. CERN–TH-7347/94 hep-th/9407022 July 1994

We discuss recent results on bosonization in d ≥ 2 space-time dimensions by giving a very simple derivation for the bosonic representation of the original free fermionic model both in the abelian and non-abelian cases. We carefully analyse the issue of symmetries in the resulting bosonic model as well as the recipes for bosonization of fermion currents.

We discuss non-Abelian bosonization of two and three dimensional fermions using a path-integral framework in which the bosonic action follows from the evaluation of the fermion determinant for the Dirac operator in the presence of a vector field. This naturally leads to the Wess-Zumino-Witten action for massless two-dimensional fermions and to a Chern-Simons action for very massive three dimens...

متن کاملBosonization in four dimensions: The smooth way∗
I investigate bosonization in four dimensions, using the smooth bosonization scheme. I argue that the generalized chiral “phases” of the fermion field corresponding to chiral phase rotations and chiral Poincaré transformations are the appropriate degrees of freedom for bosonization. ’Chiral Poincaré transformations’ are Lorentz transformations and translations with a γ5 included in the generato...

We discuss Abelian and non-Abelian three dimensional bosoniza-tion within the path-integral framework. We present a systematic approach leading to the construction of the bosonic action which, together with the bosonization recipe for fermion currents, describes the original fermion system in terms of vector bosons.
