چکیده

We provide a geometrical identification of the ghost fields, essential to the renormalization procedure in the non-Abelian (Yang-Mills) case. These are some of the local components of a connection on a principal bundle. They multiply the differentials of coordinates spanning directions orthogonal to those of a given section, whereas the Yang-Mills potential multiplies the coordinates in the section itself. In the case of a supergroup, the ghosts become commutative for the odd directions, and represent Nambu-Goldstone fields. We apply the results to chiral "flavor" SU(3)(L) x SU(3)(R) and to SU(2/1). The latter reproduces a highly constrained Weinberg-Salam model.

Superspace formulation of general massive gauge theories and geometric interpretation of mass–dependent BRST symmetries

A superspace formulation is proposed for the osp(1, 2)–covariant Lagrangian quantization of general massive gauge theories. The superalgebra osp(1, 2) is considered as subalgebra of the superalgebra sl(1, 2) ∼ osp(2, 2) which may be considered as the algebra of generators of the conformal group in a superspace with two anticommuting coordinates. The mass–dependent (anti)BRST symmetries of prope...

Augmented superfield approach to unique nilpotent symmetries for complex scalar fields in QED

The derivation of the exact and unique nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST)and anti-BRST symmetries for the matter fields, present in any arbitrary interacting gauge theory, has been a long-standing problem in the framework of superfield approach to BRST formalism. These nilpotent symmetry transformations are deduced for the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) complex scalar fields, coupled to ...

Ghost D-branes

We define a ghost D-brane in superstring theories as an object that cancels the effects of an ordinary D-brane. The supergroups U(N |M) and OSp(N |M) arise as gauge symmetries in the supersymmetric world-volume theory of D-branes and ghost D-branes. A system with a pair of D-brane and ghost D-brane located at the same location is physically equivalent to the closed string vacuum. When they are ...
