Lattice Supersymmetry and Topological Field Theory
We discuss the connection between supersymmetric field theories and topological field theories and show how this connection may be used to construct local lattice field theories which maintain an exact supersymmetry. It is shown how metric independence of the continuum topological field theory allows us to derive the lattice theory by blocking out of the continuum in a deformed geometry. This, ...
متن کاملTopological Aspect of Abelian Projected SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory
We show that the hypothesis of abelian dominance allows QCD-monopoles to preserve the topological feature of the QCD vacuum within SU(2) lattice gauge theory. An analytical study is made to find the relationship between the topological charge and QCD-monopoles in the lattice formulation. The topological charge is explicitly represented in terms of the monopole current and the abelian component ...
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...
متن کاملGauge Fixing and Renormalization in Topological Quantum Field Theory*
In this letter we show how Witten’s topological Yang-Mills and gravitational quantum field theories may be obtained by a straightforward BRST gauge fixing procedure. We investigate some aspects of the renormalization of the topological Yang-Mills theory. It is found that the beta function for the Yang-Mills coupling constant is not zero. Submitted to Phys. Lett. * Work supported by the Departme...
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...
