Massive CP1^1 theory from a microscopic model for doped antiferromagnets

A path-integral for the t-J model in two dimensions is constructed based on Dirac quantization, with an action found originally by Wiegmann (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 60}, 821 (1988); Nucl. Phys. B323, 311 (1989)). Concentrating on the low doping limit, we assume short range antiferromagnetic order of the spin degrees of freedom. Going over to a local spin quantization axis of the dopant fermions, that follows the spin degree of freedom, staggered CP$^1$ fields result and the constraint against double occupancy can be resolved. The staggered CP$^1$ fields are split into slow and fast modes, such that after a gradient expansion, and after integrating out the fast modes and the dopant fermions, a CP$^1$ field-theory with a massive gauge field is obtained that describes generically incommensurate coplanar magnetic structures, as discussed previously in the context of frustrated quantum antiferromagnets. Hence, the possibility of deconfined spinons is opened by doping a colinear antiferromagnet.Comment: 24 pages, no figure

On Foundation of the Generalized Nambu Mechanics

We outline the basic principles of canonical formalism for the Nambu mechanics---a generalization of Hamiltonian mechanics proposed by Yoichiro Nambu in 1973. It is based on the notion of Nambu bracket which generalizes the Poisson bracket to the multiple operation of higher order $n \geq 3$ on classical observables and is described by Hambu-Hamilton equations of motion given by $n-1$ Hamiltonians. We introduce the fundamental identity for the Nambu bracket which replaces Jacobi identity as a consistency condition for the dynamics. We show that Nambu structure of given order defines a family of subordinated structures of lower order, including the Poisson structure, satisfying certain matching conditions. We introduce analogs of action from and principle of the least action for the Nambu mechanics and show how dynamics of loops ($n-2$-dimensional objects) naturally appears in this formalism. We discuss several approaches to the quantization problem and present explicit representation of Nambu-Heisenberg commutation relation for $n=3$ case. We emphasize the role higher order algebraic operations and mathematical structures related with them play in passing from Hamilton's to Nambu's dynamical picture.Comment: 27 page
