A smooth massless limit for supersymmetric QCD
We analyse in detail the behaviour of supersymmetric QCD with a number of flavours M smaller than the number of colours N , for quark masses smaller than the dynamically generated scale Λ. In this regime, we find it useful to move from meson superfields to Nambu–Goldstone-like variables. In particular we work out the mass spectrum and the set of decay constants that specify the interactions of ...
متن کاملNoncommutative renormalization for massless QED
We study the renormalization of massless QED from the point of view of the Hopf algebra discovered by D. Kreimer. For QED, we describe a Hopf algebra of renormalization which is neither commutative nor cocommutative. We obtain explicit renormalization formulas for the electron and photon propagators, for the vacuum polarization and the electron self-energy, which are equivalent to Zimmermann’s ...
متن کاملMassless propagators: applications in QCD and QED
We report on two recent results based on the evaluation of five-loop massless propagators in QCD and QED: (i) corrections of order α 4 s to the absorptive part of the polarization function in QCD with n f = 3; (ii) the five-loop contribution to the β function of quenched QED.
متن کاملAsymptotic Symmetries of Massless QED in Even Dimensions
We consider the scattering of massless particles coupled to an abelian gauge field in 2n-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Weinberg’s soft photon theorem is recast as Ward identities for infinitely many new nontrivial symmetries of the massless QED Smatrix, with one such identity arising for each propagation direction of the soft photon. These symmetries are identified as large gauge transformat...
متن کاملMassless Limit of Gravitational Higgs Mechanism
In gravitational Higgs mechanism graviton components acquire mass via spontaneous diffeomorphism breaking by scalar vacuum expectation values. We point out that in the massless limit the resulting theory is not EinsteinHilbert gravity (EHG) but constrained gravity (CG). Consequently, massive solutions in the massless limit must be compared to those in CG (as opposed to EHG). We discuss spherica...
