Gribov Ambiguity

We show the existence of Gribov ambiguity for gauge group SU (N) and large classes of space-time manifolds with dimension less than or equal to four, working in the continuous category, extending previous results of Singer. In lower dimensions, and in four dimensions with gauge group SU (N), N≥3, we require only that the manifold be compact and orientable. In four dimensions with gauge group SU (2) there is a slight complification due to the fact that π4( SU (2)) does not vanish, though we are still able to state a useful result for that case. Some discussion of motivation is presented, in particular as regards to recent gauge-fixing proposals which arise in work that attempts to relate the Gribov ambiguity to confinement.

We consider the nonlinear realisation of the semi-direct product of [Formula: see text] and its vector representation which leads to a space-time with tangent group that is the Cartan involution invariant subalgebra of [Formula: see text]. We give an alternative derivation of the invariant tangent space metric that this space–time possesses and compute this metric at low levels in eleven, five and four dimensions. We show that one can gauge fix the nonlinear realisation in an [Formula: see text] invariant manner.

Transversal Plane

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.

Gauge Fixing

Using the Clifford bundle formalism, a Lagrangian theory of the Yang–Mills type (with a gauge fixing term and an auto interacting term) for the gravitational field in Minkowski space–time is presented. It is shown how two simple hypotheses permit the interpretation of the formalism in terms of effective Lorentzian or teleparallel geometries. In the case of a Lorentzian geometry interpretation of the theory, the field equations are shown to be equivalent to Einstein's equations.

First Order

If one encodes the gravitational degrees of freedom in an orthonormal frame field, there is a very natural first-order action one can write down (which in four dimensions is known as the Goldberg action). In this letter we will show that this action contains a boundary action for certain microscopic degrees of freedom living at the horizon of a black hole, and argue that these degrees of freedom hold great promise for explaining the microstates responsible for black hole entropy, in any number of space–time dimensions. This approach faces many interesting challenges, both technical and conceptual.

GUT’s in curved space-time is considered. The set of asymptotically free and asymptotically conformally invariant models based on the SU (N) gauge group is constructed. The general solutions of renormalization group equations are considered as the special ones. Several SU (2N) models, which are finite in flat space-time (on the one-loop level) and asymptotically conformally invariant in external gravitational field are also presented.

The relativistic string theory is considered from the Hamiltonian point of view. It is proposed to formulate the dynamics of string in d-dimensional space-time with the help of the auxiliary spectral problem. This approach gives the possibility to construct a completely new set of variables of string relevant for Lorentz-invariant gauge fixing. The notion of smooth string is introduced for which the successive relativistic invariant quantization could be done explicitly for the d=4 case.

A construction of real space-time based on metric linear connections in a complex manifold is described. The construction works only in two or four dimensions. The four-dimensional case based on a connection reducible to group U(2, 2) can generate Riemann-Cartan geometry on the real submanifold of the original complex manifold. The possibility of connecting the appearance of Dirac fields with anholonomic complex frames is discussed.

An explicit and detailed investigation about the two-dimensional (2D) single and triple axial-vector triangles is presented. Such amplitudes are related to the 2D axial-vector two-point function (AV) through contractions with the external momenta. Given this fact, before considering the triangles, we give a clear point of view for the AV anomalous amplitude. Such point of view is constructed within the context of an alternative strategy to handle the divergences typical of the perturbative solutions of quantum field theory. In the referred procedure all amplitudes in all theories, formulated in odd and even space–time dimensions, renormalizable or not, are treated on the same footing. After performing, in a very detailed way, all the calculations, we conclude that the same phenomenon occurring in the AV amplitude is present also in the finite single and triple axial-vector triangles. The conclusion gives support to the thesis that the phenomenon is present in pseudo-amplitudes belonging to a chain where the divergent AV one is only the simplest structure. It is expected that the same must occur in all even space–time dimensions. In particular, in four dimensions, the single and triple axial box amplitudes must exhibit anomalies too.
