Physical Unitarity for Massive Non-abelian Gauge Theories in the Landau Gauge: Stückelberg & Higgs
We discuss the problem of unitarity for Yang-Mills theory in the Landau gauge with a mass term à la Stückelberg. We assume that the theory (non-renormalizable) makes sense in some subtraction scheme (in particular the Slavnov-Taylor identities should be respected!) and we devote the paper to the study of the space of the unphysical modes. We find that the theory is unitary only under the hypoth...
متن کاملAnomaly Matching Conditions in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
Sufficient conditions are proven for ’t Hooft’s consistency conditions to hold at points in the moduli space of supersymmetric gauge theories. Known results for anomaly matching in supersymmetric QCD are rederived as a sample application of the results. The results can be used to show that the anomaly matching conditions hold for s-confining theories. Typeset using REVTEX 1 One important constr...
متن کاملGauge Theories on an Interval: Unitarity without a Higgs
We consider extra dimensional gauge theories on an interval. We first review the derivation of the consistent boundary conditions (BC’s) from the action principle. These BC’s include choices that give rise to breaking of the gauge symmetries. The boundary conditions could be chosen to coincide with those commonly applied in orbifold theories, but there are many more possibilities. To investigat...
متن کاملBRST Invariant Boundary Conditions for Gauge Theories
A systematic way of generating sets of local boundary conditions on the gauge fields in a path integral is presented. These boundary conditions are suitable for one–loop effective action calculations on manifolds with boundary and for quantum cosmology. For linearised gravity, the general proceedure described here leads to new sets of boundary conditions. Pacs numbers: 03.70.+k, 98.80.Cq Typese...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Nonlinear Sigma Models as Gauge Theories
Supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models are obtained from linear sigma models by imposing supersymmetric constraints. If we introduce auxiliary chiral and vector superfields, these constraints are expressed by D-terms and F-terms depending on the target manifolds. Auxiliary vector superfields appears as gauge fields without kinetic terms. If there is no D-term constraints, the target manifolds ar...
