D-Theory: Field Theory via Dimensional Reduction of Discrete Variables
A new non-perturbative approach to quantum field theory — D-theory — is proposed, in which continuous classical fields are replaced by discrete quantized variables which undergo dimensional reduction. The 2-d classical O(3) model emerges from the (2 + 1)-d quantum Heisenberg model formulated in terms of quantum spins. Dimensional reduction is demonstrated explicitly by simulating correlation le...
متن کاملD-Theory: Field Quantization by Dimensional Reduction of Discrete Variables
D-theory is an alternative non-perturbative approach to quantum field theory formulated in terms of discrete quantized variables instead of classical fields. Classical scalar fields are replaced by generalized quantum spins and classical gauge fields are replaced by quantum links. The classical fields of a d-dimensional quantum field theory reappear as lowenergy effective degrees of freedom of ...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction for the Inverse Problem of Neural Field Theory
Inverse problems in computational neuroscience comprise the determination of synaptic weight matrices or kernels for neural networks or neural fields respectively. Here, we reduce multi-dimensional inverse problems to inverse problems in lower dimensions which can be solved in an easier way or even explicitly through kernel construction. In particular, we discuss a range of embedding techniques...
متن کاملConformal invariance in 2-dimensional Discrete Field Theory
A discretized massless wave equation in two dimensions, on an appropriately chosen square lattice, exactly reproduces the solutions of the corresponding continuous equations. We show that the reason for this exact solution property is the discrete analog of conformal invariance present in the model, and find more general field theories on a two-dimensional lattice that exactly solve their conti...
متن کاملSolutions of Four-dimensional Field Theories via M Theory
N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions are studied by formulating them as the quantum field theories derived from configurations of fourbranes, fivebranes, and sixbranes in Type IIA superstrings, and then reinterpreting those configurations in M theory. This approach leads to explicit solutions for the Coulomb branch of a large family of four-dimensional N = 2 field theories wit...
