The Physical Hilbert Space of SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory
We solve the Gauss law of SU(2) lattice gauge theory using the harmonic oscillator prepotential formulation. We construct a generating function of a manifestly gauge invariant and orthonormal basis in the physical Hilbert space of (d+1) dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory. The resulting orthonormal physical states are given in closed form. The generalization to SU(N) gauge group is discussed.
متن کاملFermion production in the background of Minkowski space classical solutions in spontaneously broken gauge theory.
We investigate fermion production in the background of Minkowski space solutions to the equations of motion of SU(2) gauge theory spontaneously broken via the Higgs mechanism. First, we attempt to evaluate the topological charge Q of the solutions. We find that for solutions Q is not well-defined as an integral over all space-time. Solutions can profitably be characterized by the (integer-value...
متن کاملLattice Gauge Theory
Supercomputers have recently become a crucial tool for the quantum field the-orist. Applied to the formalism of lattice gauge theory, numerical simulations are providing fundamental quantitative information about the interactions of quarks, the fundamental constituents of those particles which experience nuclear interactions. Perhaps most strikingly, these simulations have provided convincing e...
متن کاملThe global stability of Minkowski space-time in harmonic gauge
The set (m,R3+1, 0): standard Minkowski metric g = m = −dt2 +3i=1(dxi)2 on R3+1 and vanishing scalar field ψ ≡ 0 describes the Minkowski space-time solution of the system (1.1). The problem of stability of Minkowski space appears in the Cauchy formulation of the Einstein equations in which given a 3-d manifold Σ0 with a Riemannian metric g0, a symmetric 2-tensor k0 and the initial data (ψ0, ψ1)...
متن کاملGauge fixing, families index theory, and topological features of the space of lattice gauge fields
The recently developed families index theory for the overlap lattice Dirac operator is applied to demonstrate an interplay between topological features of the space of SU(N) lattice gauge fields on the 4-torus and the existence question for G0 gauge fixings which do not have the Gribov problem. The continuum version of our considerations leads to topological obstructions to the existence of suc...
