Large gauge invariance in non-Abelian finite temperature effective actions
We analyze large gauge invariance in the non-Abelian, finite temperature context and its physical consequences for D53 effective actions. After briefly reviewing the structure of bundles and large gauge transformations that arise in nonsimply connected 3-manifolds and gauge groups, we discuss their connections to Chern-Simons terms and Wilson-Polyakov loops. We then provide an invariant charact...
متن کاملT-Duality and Effective D-Brane Actions
T-duality realized on D-brane effective actions is studied from a pure worldvolume point of view. It is proved that invariance in the form of the DiracBorn-Infeld and Wess-Zumino terms fixes the T-duality transformations of the NS-NS and R-R background fields, respectively. The analysis is extended to uncover the mapping of global symmetries of the corresponding pair of D-branes involved in the...
متن کاملElectric-Magnetic Duality Rotations and Invariance of Actions
For D=4 theories of a single U(1) gauge field strength coupled to gravity and matters, we show that the electric-magnetic duality can be formulated as an invariance of the actions. The symmetry is associated with duality rotation acting directly on the gauge field. The rotation is constructed in flat space, and an extension to curved spaces is also given. It is non-local and non-covariant, yet ...
متن کاملGauge Invariance in 2pi Effective Actions
The problem of maintaining gauge invariance in the 2PI formulation of QED is discussed. A modified form of the 2PI effective action is suggested in which Ward identities for external (background field) and internal (quantum field) gauge transformations are both satisfied, but in different manners. The residual gauge-fixing dependence in this modified 2PI formulation vanishes in a certain low mo...
متن کاملWeyl-Gauging and Conformal Invariance
Scale-invariant actions in arbitrary dimensions are investigated in curved space to clarify the relation between scale-, Weyland conformal invariance on the classical level. The global Weyl-group is gauged. Then the class of actions is determined for which Weyl-gauging may be replaced by a suitable coupling to the curvature (Ricci gauging). It is shown that this class is exactly the class of ac...
