Insight Into

Functional methods are developed which serve to simplify greatly the calculations in quantum non-local field theory (QNFT). The techniques also serve to give an insight into the underlying structure of QNFT. We show that a transformation can be defined which relates the QNFT Lagrangian to its local antecedent. We prove that the non-local extension of the local gauge symmetry can be obtained by applying this transformation to the local gauge transformation. The utility of this method is demonstrated by an explicit application to both scalar electrodynamics and Yang-Mills field theory.

Abstract Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories can be characterized by a non-local and non-linear transformation of the bosonic fields (Nicolai map) mapping the interacting functional measure to that of a free theory, such that the Jacobi determinant of the transformation equals the product of the fermionic determinants obtained by integrating out the gauginos and ghosts at least on the gauge hypersurface. While this transformation has been known so far only for the Landau gauge and to third order in the Yang-Mills coupling, we here extend the construction to a large class of (possibly non-linear and non-local) gauges, and exhibit the conditions for all statements to remain valid off the gauge hypersurface. Finally, we present explicit results to second order in the axial gauge and to fourth order in the Landau gauge.

Abstract We investigate the non-perturbative regimes in the class of non-Abelian theories that have been proposed as an ultraviolet completion of 4-D Quantum Field Theory (QFT) generalizing the kinetic energy operators to an infinite series of higher-order derivatives inspired by string field theory. We prove that, at the non-perturbative level, the physical spectrum of the theory is actually corrected by the “infinite number of derivatives” present in the action. We derive a set of Dyson-Schwinger equations in differential form, for correlation functions till two-points, the solution for which are known in the local theory. We obtain that just like in the local theory, the non-local counterpart displays a mass gap, depending also on the mass scale of non-locality, and show that it is damped in the deep UV asymptotically. We point out some possible implications of our result in particle physics and cosmology and discuss aspects of non-local QCD-like scenarios.

Super Yang Mills Theory

The quantization of the noncommutative [Formula: see text], U(1) super-Yang–Mills action is performed in the superfield formalism. We calculate the one-loop corrections to the self-energy of the vector superfield. Although the power-counting theorem predicts quadratic ultraviolet and infrared divergences, there are actually only logarithmic UV and IR divergences, which is a crucial feature of noncommutative supersymmetric field theories.

A new local gauge invariant method is introduced in order to maximally simplify the expression for a SU(2) non-Abelian field strength. The new tetrads introduced in previous works are going to play a fundamental role in the algorithm presented in this paper. Three new local gauge invariant objects are going to guide us through the process of making a field strength block diagonal. The process is also covariant. Any nontrivial isospace field strength projection will become block diagonal through this gauge invariant algorithm. As an application we will find new local observables in Yang–Mills theories.

The relationship between gauge and gravity amounts to understanding the underlying new geometrical local structures. These structures are new tetrads specially devised for Yang–Mills theories, Abelian and non-Abelian in four-dimensional Lorentzian curved spacetimes. In the present paper, a new tetrad is introduced for the Yang–Mills [Formula: see text] formulation. These new tetrads establish a link between local groups of gauge transformations and local groups of spacetime transformations that we previously called LB1 and LB2. New theorems are proved regarding isomorphisms between local internal [Formula: see text] groups and local tensor products of spacetime LB1 and LB2 groups of transformations. These new tetrads define at every point in spacetime two orthogonal planes that we called blades or planes one and two. These are the local planes of covariant diagonalization of the stress–energy tensor. These tetrads are gauge dependent. Tetrad local gauge transformations leave the tetrads inside the local original planes without leaving them. These local tetrad gauge transformations enable the possibility to connect local gauge groups Abelian or non-Abelian with local groups of tetrad transformations. On the local plane one, the Abelian group [Formula: see text] of gauge transformations was already proved to be isomorphic to the tetrad local group of transformations LB1, for example. LB1 is [Formula: see text] plus two different kinds of discrete transformations. On the local orthogonal plane two [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to LB2 which is just [Formula: see text]. That is, we proved that LB1 is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] which is a remarkable result since a noncompact group plus two discrete transformations is isomorphic to a compact group. These new tetrads have displayed manifestly and nontrivially the coupling between Yang–Mills fields and gravity. The new tetrads and the stress–energy tensor allow for the introduction of three new local gauge invariant objects. Using these new gauge invariant objects and in addition a new general local duality transformation, a new algorithm for the gauge invariant diagonalization of the Yang–Mills stress–energy tensor is developed as an application. This is a paper about grand Standard Model gauge theories — General Relativity gravity unification and grand group unification in four-dimensional curved Lorentzian spacetimes.
