Hidden symmetries in two dimensional field theory
The bosonization process elegantly shows the equivalence of massless scalar and fermion fields in two space-time dimensions. However, with multiple fermions the technique often obscures global symmetries. Witten’s non-Abelian bosonization makes these symmetries explicit, but at the expense of a somewhat complicated bosonic action. Frenkel and Kac have presented an intricate mathematical formali...
متن کاملHidden symmetries of two-dimensional string effective action.
The ten dimensional heterotic string effective action with graviton, dilaton and antisymmetric tensor fields is dimensionally reduced to two spacetime dimensions. The resulting theory, with some constraints on backgrounds, admits infinite sequence of conserved nonlocal currents. It is shown that generators of the infinitesimal transformations associated with these currents satisfy Kac-Moody alg...
متن کاملHidden symmetries in one-dimensional quantum Hamiltonians
We construct a Heisenberg-like algebra for the one dimensional infinite square-well potential in quantum mechanics. The numbertype and ladder operators are realized in terms of physical operators of the system as in the harmonic oscillator algebra. These physical operators are obtained with the help of variables used in a recently developed non commutative differential calculus. This “square-we...
متن کاملSymmetries and Special States in Two Dimensional String Theory
We use the W∞ symmetry of c = 1 quantum gravity to compute matrix model special state correlation functions. The results are compared, and found to agree, with expectations from the Liouville model. Work supported by a Harold W. Dodds Fellowship
متن کاملField-theory results for three-dimensional transitions with complex symmetries
We discuss several examples of three-dimensional critical phenomena that can be described by Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson φ4 theories. We present an overview of fieldtheoretical results obtained from the analysis of high-order perturbative series in the frameworks of the ǫ and of the fixed-dimension d = 3 expansions. In particular, we discuss the stability of the O(N)-symmetric fixed point in a gener...
