Yang-Mills theory for nonsemisimple groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
For semisimple groups, possibly multiplied by U~1!’s, the number of Yang-Mills gauge fields is equal to the number of generators of the group. In this paper, it is shown that, for nonsemisimple groups, the number of Yang-Mills fields can be larger. These additional Yang-Mills fields are not irrelevant because they appear in the gauge transformations of the original Yang-Mills fields. Such nonsemisimple Yang-Mills theories may lead to physical consequences worth studying. The nonsemisimple group with only two generators that do not commute is studied in detail.

Deconfinement inYang-Mills: a conjecture for a general gauge Lie group G
Svetitsky and Yaffe have argued that — if the deconfinement phase transition of a (d+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with gauge group G is second order — it should be in the universality class of a d-dimensional scalar model symmetric under the center C(G) of G. These arguments have been investigated numerically only considering Yang-Mills theory with gauge symmetry in the G = SU(N) branch, wh...
متن کاملNonsemisimple Quantum Groups as Hopf Algebras of the Dual Functions
The simple (or semisimple) classical Lie groups (algebras) may be transformed by contractions to the nonsemisimple ones of the different structure. We named the set of such groups (algebras) as Cayley-Klein (CK) groups (algebras). In our approach [2] the contractions of the groups (algebras) are described with the help of dual valued parameters, i.e. the nonsemisimple CK groups are regarded as ...
متن کاملRicci Yang-mills Solitons on Nilpotent Lie Groups
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Ricci Yang-Mills soliton equations on nilpotent Lie groups. In the 2-step nilpotent setting, we show that these equations are strictly weaker than the Ricci soliton equations. Using techniques from Geometric Invariant Theory, we develop a procedure to build many different kinds of Ricci Yang-Mills solitons. We finish this note by producing examples ...
متن کاملAbelian and center gauge fixing in continuum Yang - Mills - Theory for general gauge groups 1
A prescription for center gauge fixing for pure Yang-Mills theory in the continuum with general gauge groups is presented. The emergence of various types of singular-ities (magnetic monopoles and center vortices) appearing in the course of the gauge fixing procedure are discussed.
متن کاملCoupling Nonlinear Sigma-Matter to Yang-Mills Fields: Symmetry Breaking Patterns
We extend the traditional formulation of Gauge Field Theory by incorporating the (non-Abelian) gauge group parameters (traditionally simple spectators) as new dynamical (nonlinear-sigma-model-type) fields. These new fields interact with the usual Yang-Mills fields through a generalized minimal coupling prescription, which resembles the so-called Stueckelberg transformation [1], but for the non-...
