Quantum Determinism for Free Vector Bosons in 3 Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply ’t Hooft’s deterministic quantum mechanics approach to free vector bosons in three dimensions and check Lorentz invariance. This approach does not work for the conformal group, for free bosons in two dimensions. This presents a technical difficulty for constructing a “deterministic string theory”.

Monte Carlo study of phase transitions out of symmetry-enriched topological phases of bosons in two dimensions
We study a statistical mechanics model of two species of bosons with mutual statistics θ = 2π/n in (2+1) dimensions. This model realizes a fractionalized topological phase of bosons, which is a fractionalized version of the boson integer quantum Hall effect. The model can be studied with sign-free Monte Carlo simulations. We study the phase transitions between the fractionalized topological pha...
متن کاملMulti-dimensional Virasoro algebra and quantum gravity
I review the multi-dimensional generalizations of the Virasoro algebra, i.e. the non-central Lie algebra extensions of the algebra vect(N) of general vector fields in N dimensions, and its Fock representations. Being the Noether symmetry of background independent theories such as N -dimensional general relativity, this algebra is expected to be relevant to the quantization of gravity. To this e...
متن کاملThe Spin-Statistics Theorem in Arbitrary Dimensions
We investigate the spin-statistics connection in arbitrary dimensions for hermitian spinor or tensor quantum fields with a rotationally invariant bilinear Lagrangian density. We use essentially the same simple method as for space dimension D = 3. We find the usual connection (tensors as bosons and spinors as fermions) for D = 8n + 3, 8n + 4, 8n + 5, but only bosons for spinors and tensors in di...
متن کاملarticle “ There are no Goldstone Bosons in Two Dimensions ”
We discuss Coleman’s theorem asserting the absence of a spontaneously broken continuous symmetry and Goldstone bosons in the quantum field theory of a free massless (pseudo)scalar field in 1+1–dimensional space–time (Comm. Math. Phys. 31, 259 (1973)). We show that Coleman’s theorem is erroneous. We prove that the main signature for the absence of Goldstone bosons, a vacuum state, invariant unde...
متن کاملLocalisation and mass generation for non-abelian gauge fields
It has been suggested recently that in the presence of suitably “warped” extra dimensions, the low-energy limit of pure gauge field theory may contain massive elementary vector bosons localised on a “brane”, but no elementary Higgs scalars. We provide nonperturbative evidence in favour of this conjecture through numerical lattice measurements of the static quark-antiquark force of pure SU(2) ga...
