Triality and Dual Equivalence Between Dirac Field and Topologically Massive Gauge Field
نویسنده
چکیده
It is proved that there exist a vector representation of Dirac’s spinor field and in one sense it is equivalent to biquaternion (i.e. complexified quaternion) representation. This can be considered as a generalization of Cartan’s idea of triality to Dirac’s spinors. In the vector representation the first order Dirac Lagrangian is dual equivalent to the two order Lagrangian of topologically massive gauge field. The potential field which corresponds to the Dirac field is obtained by using master (or parent) action approach. The novel gauge field is self-dual and contains both anti-symmetric Lie and symmetric Jordan structure.

Duality Equivalence between Nonlinear Self-dual and Topologically Massive Models *
In this report we study the dual equivalence between the generalized self-dual (SD) and topologically massive (TM) models. To this end we linearize the model using an auxiliary field and apply a gauge embedding procedure to construct a gauge equivalent model. We clearly show that, under the above conditions, a nonlinear SD model always has a duality equivalent TM action.The general result obtai...
متن کاملTriality and Quantization of Singularities in Massive Fermion
It is proved that fermions can acquire the mass through the additional non-integrable exponential factor. For this propose the special vector potential associated with the spinor field was introduced. Such a vector potential has close relation with the triality property in Dirac spinors and plays crucial role in the construction of massive term. It is shown that the change in phase of a wavefun...
متن کاملOn the equivalence of the self-dual and Maxwell-Chern-Simons models coupled to Fermions
We study the exact equivalence between the self-dual model minimally coupled with a Dirac field and the Maxwell-Chern-Simons model with nonminimal magnetic coupling to fermions. We show that the fermion sectors of the models are equivalent only if a Thirring like interaction is included. Using functional methods we verify that, up to renormalizations, the equivalence persists at the quantum lev...
متن کاملTopological mass in seven dimensions and dualities in four dimensions
The massive topologically and self dual theories en seven dimensions are considered. The local duality between these theories is established and the dimensional reduction lead to the different dualities for massive antisymmetric fields in four dimensions. The topological Chern Simons terms have played an important role in several physical models. For instance, they appear in the eleven dimensio...
متن کاملTriality, Biquaternion and Vector Representation of the Dirac Equation
The triality properties of Dirac spinors are studied, including a construction of the algebra of (complexified) biquaternion. It is proved that there exists a vector-representation of Dirac spinors. The massive Dirac equation in the vector-representation is actually self-dual. The Dirac’s idea of non-integrable phases is used to study the behavior of massive term.
