The non-Abelian Berry phase is computed in the T dualized quantum mechanics obtained from the USp (2k) matrix model. Integrating the fermions, we find that each of the space–time points [Formula: see text] is equipped with a pair of su(2) Lie algebra valued pointlike singularities located at a distance m(f) from the orientifold surface. On a four-dimensional paraboloid embedded in the five-dimensional Euclidean space, these singularities are recognized as the BPST instantons.

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.

We consider the perturbative β-function in a supersymmetric model in four-dimensional Euclidean space formulated by Zumino. It turns out to be equal to the β-function for N = 2 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory despite differences that exist in the two models. PACS No.: 12.60Jv

Abstract We live in the 4-D Euclidean space. The 4th dimension is assigned as the absolute time (ct) axis and energy axis (cPt = E0) based on 4-dimensional Euclidean space. This 4th dimension can be indirectly felt through the observable relative time (ctl) and observable total energy (cPtl = E). The space-time distance is d(x1x2x3x4) = ctl. The modified Lorentz transformations are introduced by the time-matching of the absolute times in the 4-D Euclidean space. The size of x’ (or Dx’) of the moving object is expanded to the size of x = gx’ (or Dx = gDx’). These modified Lorentz transformations are approximated to the Lorentz transformations as t à tl when v/c << 1 and to the Galilean transformations as v/c is close to zero. The relative time (tl) and energy (E) are defined as the 4-dimensional distance and 4-dimensional volume, respectively. The geometrical space-time shape has the (x1,x2,x3,ct) coordinate system with the metric signature of (+ + + +) but not the (x1,x2,x3,ctl) coordinate system with the metric signature of (+ - - -). Therefore, d(x1x2x3x4)2 = (ctl)2 = (ct)2 +x2 = x12 + x22 + x32 + x42 and V(x1x2x3x4) = E = mc2 = D(ct)Dx1Dx2Dx3 from (x1,x2,x3,x4) of the geometrical space-time shape. The warped shape can be described as the wave function of the quantum mechanics. The instant force action, twin paradox and possible space travel are explained by the absolute time and wave function collapse of the modified Lorentz transformations and quantum mechanics.

We discuss some properties of a supersymmetric matrix model that is the dimensional reduction of supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory in 10 dimensions and which has been recently argued to represent the short-distance structure of M-theory in the infinite momentum frame. We describe a reduced version of the matrix quantum mechanics and derive the Nicolai map of the simplified supersymmetric matrix model. We use this to argue that there are no phase transitions in the large-N limit, and hence that S-duality is preserved in the full 11-dimensional theory.

Abstract We study a simple model of bicycle motion: a segment of fixed length in multi-dimensional Euclidean space, moving so that the velocity of the rear end is always aligned with the segment. If the front track is prescribed, the trajectory of the rear wheel is uniquely determined via a certain first order differential equation—the bicycle equation. The same model, in dimension two, describes another mechanical device, the hatchet planimeter. Here is a sampler of our results. We express the linearized flow of the bicycle equation in terms of the geometry of the rear track; in dimension three, for closed front and rear tracks, this is a version of the Berry phase formula. We show that in all dimensions a sufficiently long bicycle also serves as a planimeter: it measures, approximately, the area bivector defined by the closed front track. We prove that the bicycle equation also describes rolling, without slipping and twisting, of hyperbolic space along Euclidean space. We relate the bicycle problem with two completely integrable systems: the Ablowitz, Kaup, Newell, and Segur (AKNS) system and the vortex filament equation. We show that “bicycle correspondence” of space curves (front tracks sharing a common back track) is a special case of a Darboux transformation associated with the AKNS system. We show that the filament hierarchy, encoded as a single generating equation, describes a three-dimensional bike of imaginary length. We show that a series of examples of “ambiguous” closed bicycle curves (front tracks admitting self bicycle correspondence), found recently F. Wegner, are buckled rings, or solitons of the planar filament equation. As a case study, we give a detailed analysis of such curves, arising from bicycle correspondence with multiply traversed circles.

We consider SU(N) Yang–Mills theories in (2n + 1)-dimensional Euclidean space–time, where N ≥ n+1, coupled to an even flavor number of Dirac fermions. After integration over the fermionic degrees of freedom, the wave functional for the gauge field inherits a nontrivial U(1) connection which we compute in the limit of infinite fermion mass. Its Chern class turns out to be just half the flavor number, so that the wave functional now becomes a section in a nontrivial complex line bundle. The topological origin of this phenomenon is explained in both the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian picture.

Operator regularization has proved to be a viable way of computing radiative corrections that avoids both the insertion of a regulating parameter into the initial Lagrangian and the occurrence of explicit infinities at any stage of the calculation. We show how this regulating technique can be used in conjunction with field theories defined on an n + 1-dimensional hypersphere, which is the stereographic projection of n-dimensional Euclidean space. The radius of the hypersphere acts as an infrared cutoff, thus eliminating the need to insert a mass parameter to serve as an infrared regulator. This has the advantage of leaving conformai symmetry present in massless theories, intact. We illustrate our approach by considering [Formula: see text], massless Yang–Mills gauge theories and the two-dimensional nonlinear bosonic sigma model with torsion. In the last model, the lowest mode is used as an infrared cutoff.

Abstract We compute, to the lowest perturbative order in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, n-point correlators in the coordinate and momentum representation of the gauge-invariant twist-2 operators with maximal spin along the p+ direction, both in Minkowskian and — by analytic continuation — Euclidean space-time. We also construct the corresponding generating functionals. Remarkably, they have the structure of the logarithm of a functional determinant of the identity plus a term involving the effective propagators that act on the appropriate source fields.
