Fermion Hilbert Space and Fermion Doubling in the Noncommutative Geometry Approach to Gauge Theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study the structure of the Hilbert space for the recent noncommutative geometry models of gauge theories. We point out the presence of unphysical degrees of freedom similar to the ones appearing in lattice gauge theories (fermion doubling). We investigate the possibility of projecting out these states at the various levels in the construction, but we find that the results of these attempts are either physically unacceptable or geometrically unappealing.

Singlet scalar dark matter in noncommutative space
In this paper, we examine the singlet scalar dark matter annihilation to becoming the Standard Model particles in the non-commutative space. In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered, but our information about the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have nei...
متن کاملThe Fermion Doubling Problem and Noncommutative Geometry
We propose a resolution for the fermion doubling problem in discrete field theories based on the fuzzy sphere and its Cartesian products. The nonperturbative formulation of chiral gauge theories is a long standing programme in particle physics. It seems clear that one should regularise these theories with all symmetries intact. There are two major problems associated with conventional lattice a...
متن کاملThe Fermion Doubling Problem and Noncommutative Geometry II
In our previous paper (hep-th/9911087), we proposed a resolution for the fermion doubling problem in discrete field theories based on the fuzzy sphere and its cartesian products. In this paper after a review of that work, we bring out its relationship to the Ginsparg-Wilson approach. The nonperturbative formulation of chiral gauge theories is a long standing programme in particle physics. It se...
متن کاملInstantons and Chiral Anomaly in Fuzzy Physics
In continuum physics, there are important topological aspects like instantons, θ-terms and the axial anomaly. Conventional lattice discretizations often have difficulties in treating one or the other of these aspects. In this paper, we develop discrete quantum field theories on fuzzy manifolds using noncommutative geometry. Basing ourselves on previous treatments of instantons and chiral fermio...
متن کاملConstraints on Unified Gauge Theories from Noncommutative Geometry
The Connes and Lott reformulation of the strong and electroweak model represents a promising application of noncommutative geometry. In this scheme the Higgs field naturally appears in the theory as a particular gauge boson, connected to the discrete internal space, and its quartic potential, fixed by the model, is not vanishing only when more than one fermion generation is present. Moreover, t...
