Nonlinear Realization of a Dynamical Poincaré Symmetry by a Field - dependent Diffeomorphism

چکیده
We consider a description of membranes by (2, 1)-dimensional field theory, or alternatively a description of irrotational, isentropic fluid motion by a field theory in any dimension. We show that these Galileo-invariant systems, as well as others related to them, admit a peculiar diffeomorphism symmetry, where the transformation rule for coordinates involves the fields. The symmetry algebra coincides with that of the Poincaré group in one higher dimension. Therefore, these models provide a nonlinear representation for a dynamical Poincaré group.

Dynamical Poincaré Symmetry Realized by Field-dependent Diffeomorphisms
We present several Galileo invariant Lagrangians, which are invariant against Poincaré transformations defined in one higher (spatial) dimension. Thus these models, which arise in a variety of physical situations, provide a representation for a dynamical (hidden) Poincaré symmetry. The action of this symmetry transformation on the dynamical variables is nonlinear, and in one case involves a pec...
متن کاملA Higgs Mechanism for Gravity
In this paper we elaborate on the idea of an emergent spacetime which arises due to the dynamical breaking of diffeomorphism invariance in the early universe. In preparation for an explicit symmetry breaking scenario, we consider nonlinear realizations of the group of analytical diffeomorphisms which provide a unified description of spacetime structures. We find that gravitational fields, such ...
متن کاملRealization of Tangent Perturbations in Discrete and Continuous Time Conservative Systems
We prove that any perturbation of the symplectic part of the derivative of a Poisson diffeomorphism can be realized as the derivative of a C-close Poisson diffeomorphism. We also show that a similar property holds for the Poincaré map of a Hamiltonian on a Poisson manifold. These results are the conservative counterparts of the Franks lemma, a perturbation tool used in several contexts most not...
متن کاملThe Higgs sector of gravitational gauge theories
Gravitational gauge theories with de Sitter, Poincaré and affine symmetry group are investigated under the aspect of the breakdown of the initial symmetry group down to the Lorentz subgroup. As opposed to the nonlinear realization approach, in the dynamical symmetry breaking procedure, the structure subgroup is not chosen arbitrarily, but is dictated by the symmetry of the groundstate of a Higg...
متن کاملBifurcation and Chaos in Size-Dependent NEMS Considering Surface Energy Effect and Intermolecular Interactions
The impetus of this study is to investigate the chaotic behavior of a size-dependent nano-beam with double-sided electrostatic actuation, incorporating surface energy effect and intermolecular interactions. The geometrically nonlinear beam model is based on Euler-Bernoulli beam assumption. The influence of the small-scale and the surface energy effect are modeled by implementing the consistent ...
