    Topological Symmetry Breaking on Einstein Manifolds

    Full text link
    It is known that if gauge conditions have Gribov zero modes, then topological symmetry is broken. In this paper we apply it to topological gravity in dimension n≥3n \geq 3. Our choice of the gauge condition for conformal invariance is R+α=0R+{\alpha}=0 , where RR is the Ricci scalar curvature. We find when α≠0\alpha \neq 0, topological symmetry is not broken, but when α=0\alpha =0 and solutions of the Einstein equations exist then topological symmetry is broken. This conditions connect to the Yamabe conjecture. Namely negative constant scalar curvature exist on manifolds of any topology, but existence of nonnegative constant scalar curvature is restricted by topology. This fact is easily seen in this theory. Topological symmetry breaking means that BRS symmetry breaking in cohomological field theory. But it is found that another BRS symmetry can be defined and physical states are redefined. The divergence due to the Gribov zero modes is regularized, and the theory after topological symmetry breaking become semiclassical Einstein gravitational theory under a special definition of observables.Comment: 16 pages, Late

    Dimensional Reduction of Seiberg-Witten Monopole Equations, N=2 Noncommutative Supersymmetric Field Theories and Young Diagrams

    Full text link
    We investigate the Seiberg-Witten monopole equations on noncommutative(N.C.) R^4 at the large N.C. parameter limit, in terms of the equivariant cohomology. In other words, N}=2 supersymmetric U(1) gauge theories with hypermultiplet on N.C. R}^4 are studied. It is known that after topological twisting partition functions of N}>1 supersymmetric theories on N.C. R^2D are invariant under N.C.parameter shift, then the partition functions can be calculated by its dimensional reduction. At the large N.C. parameter limit, the Seiberg-Witten monopole equations are reduced to ADHM equations with the Dirac equation reduced to 0 dimension. The equations are equivalent to the dimensional reduction of non-Abelian U(N) Seiberg-Witten monopole equations in N -> \infty. The solutions of the equations are also interpreted as a configuration of brane anti-brane system. The theory has global symmetries under torus actions originated in space rotations and gauge symmetries. We investigate the Seiberg-Witten monopole equations reduced to 0 dimension and the fixed point equations of the torus actions. We show that the Dirac equation reduced to 0 dimension is trivial when the fixed point equations and the ADHM equations are satisfied. For finite N, it is known that the fixed points of the ADHM data are isolated and are classified by the Young diagrams. We give a new proof of this statement by solving the ADHM equations and the fixed point equations concretely and by giving graphical interpretations of the field components and these equations.Comment: v2: 28+1 pages, 13 figures, appendix for convention added, references added, some descriptions improved, v3: eq.(113),(117) corrected, v4: 29+1 pages, minor correction

    Partition functions of Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in Noncommutative R^{2D} and their Unified Perspective

    Full text link
    We investigate cohomological gauge theories in noncommutative R^{2D}. We show that vacuum expectation values of the theories do not depend on noncommutative parameters, and the large noncommutative parameter limit is equivalent to the dimensional reduction. As a result of these facts, we show that a partition function of a cohomological theory defined in noncommutative R^{2D} and a partition function of a cohomological field theory in R^{2D+2} are equivalent if they are connected through dimensional reduction. Therefore, we find several partition functions of supersymmetric gauge theories in various dimensions are equivalent. Using this technique, we determine the partition function of the N=4 U(1) gauge theory in noncommutative R^4, where its action does not include a topological term. The result is common among (8-dim, N=2), (6-dim, N=2), (2-dim, N=8) and the IKKT matrix model given by their dimensional reduction to 0-dim.Comment: 45 pages, no figures, Appendices B and C are added, changes in the text, references are adde

    Integrability of Φ4\Phi^4 Matrix Model as NN-body Harmonic Oscillator System

    Full text link
    We study a Hermitian matrix model with a kinetic term given by Tr(HΦ2) Tr (H \Phi^2 ), where HH is a positive definite Hermitian matrix, similar as in the Kontsevich Matrix model, but with its potential Φ3\Phi^3 replaced by Φ4\Phi^4. We show that its partition function solves an integrable Schr\"odinger-type equation for a non-interacting NN-body Harmonic oscillator system.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figure

    Exact Solutions v.s. Perturbative Calculations of Finite Φ3\Phi^{3}-Φ4\Phi^{4} Hybrid-Matrix-Model

    Full text link
    There is a matrix model corresponding to a scalar field theory called Grosse-Wulkenhaar model, which is renormalizable by adding a harmonic oscillator potential to scalar Φ4\Phi^{4} theory on Moyal spaces. There are more unknowns in Φ4\Phi^{4} matrix model than in Φ3\Phi^{3} matrix model, for example, in terms of integrability. We then construct a one-matrix model (Φ3\Phi^{3}-Φ4\Phi^{4} Hybrid-Matrix-Model) with multiple potentials, which is a combination of a 33-point interaction and a 44-point interaction, where the 33-point interaction of Φ3\Phi^{3} is multiplied by some positive definite diagonal matrix MM. This model is solvable due to the effect of this MM. In particular, the connected ∑i=1BNi\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{B}N_{i}-point function G∣aN11⋯aN11∣⋯∣a1B⋯aNBB∣G_{|a_{N_{1}}^{1}\cdots a_{N_{1}}^{1}|\cdots|a_{1}^{B}\cdots a_{N_{B}}^{B}|} of Φ3\Phi^{3}-Φ4\Phi^{4} Hybrid-Matrix-Model is studied in detail. This ∑i=1BNi\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{B}N_{i}-point function can be interpreted geometrically and corresponds to the sum over all Feynman diagrams (ribbon graphs) drawn on Riemann surfaces with BB boundaries (punctures). Each ∣a1i⋯aNii∣|a_{1}^{i}\cdots a_{N_{i}}^{i}| represents NiN_{i} external lines coming from the ii-th boundary (puncture) in each Feynman diagram. First, we construct Feynman rules for Φ3\Phi^{3}-Φ4\Phi^{4} Hybrid-Matrix-Model and calculate perturbative expansions of some multipoint functions in ordinary methods. Second, we calculate the path integral of the partition function Z[J]\mathcal{Z}[J] and use the result to compute exact solutions for 11-point function G∣a∣G_{|a|} with 11-boundary, 22-point function G∣ab∣G_{|ab|} with 11-boundary, 22-point function G∣a∣b∣G_{|a|b|} with 22-boundaries, and nn-point function G∣a1∣a2∣⋯∣an∣G_{|a^{1}|a^{2}|\cdots|a^{n}|} with nn-boundaries. They include contributions from Feynman diagrams corresponding to nonplanar Feynman diagrams or higher genus surfaces.Comment: 28 pages.
