Application of Noncommutative Differential Geometry on Lattice to Anomaly Analysis in Abelian Lattice Gauge Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The chiral anomaly in lattice abelian gauge theory is investigated by applying the geometric and topological method in noncommutative differential geometry(NCDG). A new kind of double complex and descent equation are proposed on infinite hypercubic lattice in arbitrary even dimensional Euclidean space, in the framework of NCDG. Using the general solutions to proposed descent equation, we derive the chiral anomaly in Abelian lattice gauge theory. The topological origin of anomaly is nothing but the Chern classes in NCDG.

Axial Anomaly in Lattice Abelian Gauge Theory in Arbitrary Dimensions
Axial anomaly of lattice abelian gauge theory in hyper-cubic regular lattice in arbitrary even dimensions is investigated by applying the method of exterior differential calculus. The topological invariance, gauge invariance and locality of the axial anomaly determine the explicit form of the topological part. The anomaly is obtained up to a multiplicative constant for finite lattice spacing an...
متن کاملNon-commutative Differential Calculus and the Axial Anomaly in Abelian Lattice Gauge Theories
The axial anomaly in lattice gauge theories has topological nature when the Dirac operator satisfies the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. We study the axial anomaly in Abelian gauge theories on an infinite hypercubic lattice by utilizing cohomological arguments. The crucial tool in our approach is the non-commutative differential calculus (NCDC) which validates the Leibniz rule of exterior derivatives...
متن کاملAnomaly Cancellation Condition in Abelian Lattice Gauge Theories
We analyze the general solution of the Wess-Zumino consistency condition in abelian lattice gauge theories, without taking the classical continuum limit. We find that, if the anomaly density is a local pseudo-scalar field on the lattice, the non-trivial anomaly is always proportional to the anomaly coefficient in the continuum theory. The possible extension of this result to non-abelian theorie...
متن کاملTopology and the axial anomaly in abelian lattice gauge theories Martin Lüscher
The axial anomaly in abelian lattice gauge theories is shown to be equal to a simple quadratic expression in the gauge field tensor plus a removable divergence term if the lattice Dirac operator satisfies the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. The theorem is a consequence of the locality, the gauge invariance and the topological nature of the anomaly and does not refer to any other properties of the lat...
