Renormalizability of gauge theories in extra dimensions
We analyze the possibility of nonperturbative renormalizability of gauge theories in D.4 dimensions. We develop a scenario, based on Weinberg’s idea of asymptotic safety, that allows for renormalizability in extra dimensions owing to a non-Gaussian ultraviolet stable fixed point. Our scenario predicts a critical dimension Dcr beyond which the UV fixed point vanishes, such that renormalizability...
متن کاملThe renormalizability for massive Abelian gauge field theories re-visited
We give a simplified proof for the perturbative renormalizability of theories with massive vector particles. For renormalizability it is sufficient that the vector particle is treated as an gauge field, corresponding to an Abelian gauge group. Contrary to the non-Abelian case one does not need the Higgs mechanism to create the appropriate mass terms. The proof uses “Stueckelberg’s trick” and th...
متن کاملGauge Symmetry Breaking in Gauge Theories—In Search of Clarification
The paper investigates the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetries in gauge theories from a philosophical angle. Local gauge symmetry itself cannot break spontaneously in quantized gauge theories according to Elitzur’s theorem—even though the notion of a spontaneously broken local gauge symmetry is widely employed in textbook expositions of the Higgs mechanism, the standard account of mass gen...
متن کاملSymmetry properties of massive gauge theories in nonlinear background gauges: Background dependence of Green functions
Nonabelian gauge theories with a generic background field Aμ in nonlinear gauges due to Delbourgo and Jarvis are investigated. The Aμ-dependence is completely determined by the help of a linear differential equation which obtaines from the Kluberg-Stern-Zuber and the Lee identity. Its integration leads to a relation between the one-particle irreducible vertex functional in the background field ...
متن کاملGauge symmetry breaking through soft masses in supersymmetric gauge theories.
Effects of soft breaking terms in N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories are studied. For Nf < Nc, we include the dynamics of the non-perturbative superpotential and use the original (s)quark and gauge fields. For Nf > Nc+1, we formulate the dynamics in terms of dual (s)quarks and a dual gauge group SU(Nf − Nc). The mass squared of squarks can be negative triggering the spontaneous breakdown of fl...
