Effective actions for dual massive (super) p-forms

چکیده

In $d$ dimensions, the model for a massless $p$-form in curved space is known to be reducible gauge theory $p>1$, and therefore its covariant quantisation cannot carried out using standard Faddeev-Popov scheme. However, adding mass term also introducing Stueckelberg reformulation of resulting model, one ends up with an irreducible which can quantised \`a la Faddeev Popov. We derive compact expression massive effective action, $\Gamma^{(m)}_p$, terms functional determinants Hodge-de Rham operators. then show that actions $\Gamma^{(m)}_p$ $\Gamma^{(m)}_{d-p-1}$ differ by topological invariant. This generalisation result case $\Gamma_p$ $\Gamma_{d-p-2}$ coincide modulo term. Finally, our analysis extended super $p$-forms coupled background ${\cal N}=1$ supergravity four dimensions. Specifically, we study quantum dynamics following $p$-forms: (i) vector multiplet; (ii) tensor (iii) three-form multiplet. It demonstrated multiplets coincide. The action shown sum those corresponding two scalar multiplets,

Massive-Scalar Effective Actions on Anti-de Sitter Spacetime

Closed forms are derived for the effective actions for free, massive spinless fields in anti-de Sitter spacetimes in arbitrary dimensions. The results have simple expressions in terms of elementary functions (for odd dimensions) or multiple Gamma functions (for even dimensions). We use these to argue against the quantum validity of a recently-proposed duality relating such theories with differi...

Spacetime and Worldvolume Supersymmetric Super p – Brane Actions ∗

We review the salient features of spacetime and worldvolume supersymmetric super p–brane actions. These are sigma models for maps from a worldvolume superspace to the target superspace. For p–branes, the symmetries of the model depend crucially on the existence of closed super (p+ 1)–forms on a worldvolume superspace, built out of the pullbacks of the Kalb-Ramond super (p+1)–form in target supe...

Super-Massive Neutron Stars

We present here the results of Arecibo timing of PSR B1516+02B, a 7.95-ms pulsar in a binary system with a ∼ 0.17M⊙ companion and an orbital period of 6.85 days located in the globular cluster M5. The eccentricity of the orbit (e = 0.14) has allowed a measurement of the rate of advance of periastron: ω̇ = (0.0136 ± 0.0007)◦yr−1. It is very likely that the periastron advance is due to the effects...

Wess-Zumino actions and Dirichlet Boundary Conditions for Super p-branes with Exotic Fractions of Supersymmetry

The general solutions in the models of closed and open superstring and super p-branes with exotic fractions of the N = 1 supersymmetry are considered and the spontaneously broken character of the OSp(1, 2M) symmetry of the models is established. It is shown that extending these models by Wess-Zumino terms generates the Dirichlet boundary conditions for superstring and super p-branes. Using the ...

Normal Forms for Submanifolds under Group Actions

We describe computational algorithms for constructing the explicit power series expansions for normal forms of submanifolds under transformation groups. The procedure used to derive the coefficients relies on the recurrence formulae for differential invariants provided by the method of equivariant moving frames.
