Massless particles in five and higher dimensions

چکیده
We describe a five-dimensional analogue of Wigner's operator equation ${\mathbb W}_a = \lambda P_a$, where $ is the Pauli-Lubanski vector, $P_a$ energy-momentum operator, and $\lambda$ helicity massless particle. Higher dimensional generalisations are also given.

Scattering of massless particles in arbitrary dimensions.
We present a compact formula for the complete tree-level S-matrix of pure Yang-Mills and gravity theories in arbitrary spacetime dimensions. The new formula for the scattering of n particles is given by an integral over the positions of n points on a sphere restricted to satisfy a dimension-independent set of equations. The integrand is constructed using the reduced Pfaffian of a 2n×2n matrix, ...
متن کاملMassless Particles and Fields ”
Free fields of massless particles transforming covariantly under the Poincare group are constructed. The allowed infinite and finite dimensional representations of the Lorentz group are obtained. The wave functions are calculated in these representations in various bases u The commutation rules are computed, and turn out to be non-local for any infinite dimens ional fields. The transformation l...
متن کاملNew Einstein-Sasaki spaces in five and higher dimensions.
We obtain infinite classes of new Einstein-Sasaki metrics on complete and nonsingular manifolds. They arise, after Euclideanization, from BPS limits of the rotating Kerr-de Sitter black hole metrics. The new Einstein-Sasaki spaces L(p,q,r) in five dimensions have cohomogeneity 2 and U(1) x U(1) x U(1) isometry group. They are topologically S(2) x S(3). Their AdS/CFT duals describe quiver theori...
متن کاملUnity of elementary particles and forces in higher dimensions.
The idea of unifying all the gauge and Yukawa forces as well as the gauge, Higgs, and fermionic matter particles naturally leads us to a simple gauge symmetry in higher dimensions with supersymmetry. We present a model in which, for the first time, such a unification is achieved in the framework of quantum field theory.
متن کاملAnomalies without massless particles.
Baryon and lepton number in the standard model are violated by anomalies, even though the fermions are massive. This problem is studied in the context of a two dimensional model. In a uniform background field, fermion production arise from non-adiabatic behavior that compensates for the absence of massless modes. On the other hand, for localized instanton-like configurations, there is an adiaba...
