Charge Assignments in Multiple–U(1) Gauge Theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the choice of gauge field basis in multiple–U(1) gauge theories. We find that there is a preferred basis, specified by the charge orthogonality condition, in which the U(1) gauge fields do not mix under one–loop renormalization group running.

Relations among Supersymmetric Lattice Gauge Theories via Orbifolding
We show how to derive Catterall’s supersymmetric lattice gauge theories directly from the general principle of orbifolding followed by a variant of the usual deconstruction. These theories are forced to be complexified due to a clash between charge assignments under U(1)-symmetries and lattice assignments in terms of scalar, vector and tensor components for the fermions. Other prescriptions for...
متن کاملRiemannian Gauge Theory and Charge Quantization
Particle theorists build gauge theories around an action with a symmetry group. The gauge field of the action is similar to the connection coefficient in the Riemannian covariant derivative. The field strength tensor is similar to the curvature tensor. Inspired by these parallels with Riemannian geometry, we propose a different construction. Instead of defining a gauge theory by a group, we def...
متن کاملPhases of N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories with Flavors
We explore the phases of N = 1 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theories with fundamental matter that arise as deformations of N = 2 SQCD by the addition of a superpotential for the adjoint chiral multiplet. As the parameters in the superpotential are varied, the vacua of this theory sweep out various branches, which in some cases have multiple semiclassical limits. In such limits, we recover the vacu...
متن کاملDeconstructing 5D supersymmetric U(1) gauge theories on orbifolds
We investigate deconstruction of five dimensional supersymmetric abelian gauge theories compactified on S1/Z2, with various sets of bulk and matter multiplets. The problem of anomalies, chirality and stability in the deconstructed theories is discussed. We find that for most of the 5d brane/bulk matter assignments there exists the deconstructed version. There are, however, some exceptions. High...
متن کاملGauge and BRST Generators for Space-Time Non-commutative U(1) Theory
The Hamiltonian (gauge) symmetry generators of non-local (gauge) theories are presented. The construction is based on the d + 1 dimensional space-time formulation of d dimensional non-local theories. The procedure is applied to U(1) space-time non-commutative gauge theory. In the Hamiltonian formalism the Hamiltonian and the gauge generator are constructed. The nilpotent BRST charge is also obt...
