Functional Integration and Gauge Ambiguities in Generalized Abelian Gauge Theories
We consider the covariant quantization of generalized abelian gauge theories on a closed and compact n-dimensional manifold whose space of gauge invariant fields is the abelian group of CheegerSimons differential characters. The space of gauge fields is shown to be a non-trivial bundle over the orbits of the subgroup of smooth Cheeger-Simons differential characters. Furthermore each orbit itsel...
متن کاملGauge Theories in the Derivative Expansion
Gauge theories with and without matter are formulated in the derivative expansion. Amplitudes are derived as a power series in the energy scales; there are simplifications as compared with the usual loop expansion. The incorporation and summation of Wilson loops is natural in this approach and allows for a derivation of the confining potential as well as the masses of the gauge invariant observ...
متن کاملGauge fixing and BRST formalism in non-Abelian gauge theories
In this Thesis we present a comprehensive study of perturbative and non-perturbative non-Abelian gauge theories in the light of gauge-fixing procedures, focusing our attention on the BRST formalism in Yang-Mills theory. We propose first a model to re-write the Faddeev-Popov quantisation method in terms of grouptheoretical techniques and then we give a possible way to solve the no-go theorem of ...
متن کاملGeneralized Random Phase Approximation and Gauge Theories
Hugo Reinhardt† Institut für Theoretische Physik, Eberhard-Karls Universität zu Tübingen, D-72076 Tübingen, Federal Republic of Germany Abstract Mean-field treatments of Yang-Mills theory face the problem of how to treat the Gauss law constraint. In this paper we try to face this problem by studying the excited states instead of the ground state. For this purpose we extend the operator approach...
متن کاملGeneralized quantum mechanics of non-Abelian gauge theories.
Hartle’s generalized quantum mechanics in the sum-over-histories formalism is used to describe a nonabelian gauge theory. Predictions are made for certain alternatives, with particular attention given to coarse-grainings involving the constraint. In this way, the theory is compared to other quantum-mechanical descriptions of gauge theories in which the constraints are imposed by hand. The vanis...
