Self Duality

The anti-self-duality equations for gauge fields in d = 4 and a generalization of these equations to dimension d = 4n are considered. For gauge fields with values in an arbitrary semisimple Lie algebra [Formula: see text] we introduce the ansatz which reduces the anti-self-duality equations in the Euclidean space ℝ4n to a system of equations breaking up into the well known Nahm's equations and some linear equations for scalar field φ.

Abstract A definition of a convolution of tensor fields on group manifolds is given, which is then generalised to generic homogeneous spaces. This is applied to the product of gauge fields in the context of ‘gravity = gauge × gauge’. In particular, it is shown that the linear Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) gauge transformations of two Yang-Mills gauge fields generate the linear BRST diffeomorphism transformations of the graviton. This facilitates the definition of the ‘gauge × gauge’ convolution product on, for example, the static Einstein universe, and more generally for ultrastatic spacetimes with compact spatial slices.

In the recently proposed generalization of the Yang–Mills theory, the group of gauge transformation gets essentially enlarged. This enlargement involves a mixture of the internal and space–time symmetries. The resulting group is an extension of the Poincaré group with infinitely many generators which carry internal and space–time indices. The matrix representations of the extended Poincaré generators are expressible in terms of Pauli–Lubanski vector in one case and in terms of its invariant derivative in another. In the later case the generators of the gauge group are transversal to the momentum and are projecting the non-Abelian tensor gauge fields into the transversal plane, keeping only their positively definite spacelike components.

Background Field Method

We compute the effective potential of SU(2) Yang–Mills theory using the background field method and the Faddeev–Niemi decomposition of the gauge fields. In particular, we find that the potential will depend on the values of two scalar fields in the decomposition and that its structure will give rise to a symmetry breaking.

We suggest an extension of the gauge principle which includes tensor gauge fields. In this extension of the Yang–Mills theory the vector gauge boson becomes a member of a bigger family of gauge bosons of arbitrary large integer spins. The proposed extension is essentially based on the extension of the Poincaré algebra and the existence of an appropriate transversal representations. The invariant Lagrangian is expressed in terms of new higher-rank field strength tensors. It does not contain higher derivatives of tensor gauge fields and all interactions take place through three- and four-particle exchanges with a dimensionless coupling constant. We calculated the scattering amplitudes of non-Abelian tensor gauge bosons at tree level, as well as their one-loop contribution into the Callan–Symanzik beta function. This contribution is negative and corresponds to the asymptotically free theory. Considering the contribution of tensorgluons of all spins into the beta function we found that it is leading to the theory which is conformally invariant at very high energies. The proposed extension may lead to a natural inclusion of the standard theory of fundamental forces into a larger theory in which vector gauge bosons, leptons and quarks represent a low-spin subgroup. We consider a possibility that inside the proton and, more generally, inside hadrons there are additional partons — tensorgluons, which can carry a part of the proton momentum. The extension of QCD influences the unification scale at which the coupling constants of the Standard Model merge, shifting its value to lower energies.

Extended Superspace

A new ten-dimensional superparticle action with local symmetries implemented via gauge fields is formulated in a superspace with an extra anticommuting space-time spinor coordinate. Light-cone quantization gives the spectrum of N=1 super-Yang-Mills. Covariant gauge choices in which the gauge fields are set to constants lead to free BRST-invariant quantum actions. Possible ghost systems include one with only a finite number of ghosts and several with an infinite number. In each case, the BRST cohomology class of zero ghost number gives the spectrum of N=1 super-Yang-Mills.

In a previous paper, we addressed the method of Abelian decomposition to the case of SU (N) Yang–Mills theory. Here, we extend the decomposition method further to the general case. With the Cartan–Weyl basis we decompose semisimple group connection and discuss the SO(3,1) group in particular. In terms of the vierbein projection, we propose two two-forms as the U(1) gauge fields in the SO(3,1) gauge theory and show that these two-forms are just the different cosmic string tensors. Meanwhile, these two-forms indicate that the cosmic strings appear naturally in the Lorentz spacetime, i.e. the torsion in the Riemann–Cartan spacetime is not necessary for the cosmic strings.

Using standard field theoretical techniques, we survey pure Yang–Mills theory on the noncommutative torus, including Feynman rules and BRS symmetry. Although in general free of any infrared singularity, the theory is ultraviolet divergent. Because of an invariant regularization scheme, this theory turns out to be renormalizable and the detailed computation of the one-loop counterterms is given, leading to an asymptotically free theory. Besides, it turns out that nonplanar diagrams are overall convergent when θ is irrational.
