The Gauss Law Operator Algebra and Double Commutators in Chiral Gauge Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate within an algebraic Bjorken–Johnson–Low (BJL) method anomalous Schwinger terms of fermionic currents and the Gauss law operator in chiral gauge theories. The current algebra is known to violate the Jacobi identity in an iterative computation. Our method takes the subtleties of the equal–time limit into account and leads to an algebra that fulfills the Jacobi identity. The non-iterative terms appearing in the double commutators can be traced back directly to the projective representation of the gauge group. e–mail: [email protected]

Invariant Regularization of Supersymmetric Chiral Gauge Theory
We formulate a manifestly supersymmetric gauge covariant regularization of supersymmetric chiral gauge theories. In our scheme, the effective action in the superfield background field method above one-loop is always supersymmetric and gauge invariant. The gauge anomaly has a covariant form and can emerge only in one-loop diagrams with all the external lines being the background gauge superfield...
متن کاملSchrödinger Functional and Quantization of Gauge Theories in the Temporal Gauge
In the language of Feynman path integrals the quantization of gauge theories is most easily carried out with the help of the Schrödinger Functional (SF). Within this formalism the essentially unique gauge fixing condition is A◦ = 0 (temporal gauge), as any other rotationally invariant gauge choice can be shown to be functionally equivalent to the former. In the temporal gauge Gauss’ law is auto...
متن کاملStructural aspects of the fermion-boson mapping in two-dimensional gauge and anomalous gauge theories with massive fermions
Using a synthesis of the functional integral and operator approaches we discuss the fermion-boson mapping and the role played by the Bose field algebra in the Hilbert space of two-dimensional gauge and anomalous gauge field theories with massive fermions. In the QED2 with quartic self-interaction among massive fermions, the use of an auxiliary vector field introduces a redundant Bose field alge...
متن کاملBicovariant Calculus in Quantum Theory and a Generalization of the Gauss Law
We construct a deformation of the quantum algebra Fun(T G) associated with Lie group G to the case where G is replaced by a quantum group Gq which has a bicovariant calculus. The deformation easily allows for the inclusion of the current algebra of left and right invariant one forms. We use it to examine a possible generalization of the Gauss law commutation relations for gauge theories based o...
متن کاملMathematical structure of the temporal gauge in quantum electrodynamics
The conflict between Gauss' law constraint and the existence of the propagator of the gauge fields, at the basis of contradictory proposals in the literature, is shown to lead to only two alternatives, both with peculiar features with respect to standard quantum field theory. In the positive (interacting) case, the Gauss' law holds in operator form, but only the correlations of exponentials of ...
