Dirac's Observables for the SU(3)XSU(2)XU(1) Standard Model
The complete, missing, Hamiltonian treatment of the standard SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1)
model with Grassmann-valued fermion fields in the Higgs phase is given. We
bypass the complications of the Hamiltonian theory in the Higgs phase,
resulting from the spontaneous symmetry breaking with the Higgs mechanism, by
studying the Hamiltonian formulation of the Higgs phase for the gauge
equivalent Lagrangian in the unitary gauge. A canonical basis of Dirac's
observables is found and the reduced physical Hamiltonian is evaluated. Its
self-energy part is nonlocal for the electromagnetic and strong interactions,
but local for the weak ones. Therefore, the Fermi 4-fermion interaction
reappears at the nonperturbative level.Comment: 90 pages, RevTeX, no figure
Self-Dual Chern-Simons Solitons in (2+1)-Dimensional Einstein Gravity
We consider here a generalization of the Abelian Higgs model in curved space,
by adding a Chern--Simons term. The static equations are self-dual provided we
choose a suitable potential. The solutions give a self-dual
Maxwell--Chern--Simons soliton that possesses a mass and a spin
Vortices in Bogomol'nyi Limit of Einstein Maxwell Higgs Theory with or without External Sources
The Abelian Higgs model with or without external particles is considered in
curved space. Using the dual transformation, we rewrite the model in terms of
dual gauge fields and derive the Bogomol'nyi-type bound. We examine
cylindrically symmetric solutions to Einstein equations and the first-order
Bogomol'nyi equations, and find vortex solutions and vortex-particle composites
which lie on the spatial manifold with global geometry described by a cylinder
asymptotically or a two sphere in addition to the well-known cone.Comment: LaTeX, 23 pages, 10 LaTeX figures included, KHTP-93-05, SNUTP-93-100,

Bogomolnyi Bound with a Cosmological Constant
Bogomolnyi-type bound is constructed for the topological solitons in O(3)
nonlinear model coupled to gravity with a negative cosmological
constant. Spacetimes made by self-dual solutions form a class of G\"{o}del-type
universe. In the limit of a spinless massive point particle, the obtained
stationary metric does not violate the causality and it is a new point particle
solution different from the known static hyperboloid and black hole. We also
showed that static Nielsen-Olesen vortices saturate Bogomolnyi-type bound only
when the cosmological constant vanishes.Comment: 11 pages, RevTe
Gravitating Chern-Simons vortices
The construction of self-dual vortex solutions to the Chern-Simons-Higgs
model (with a suitable eighth-order potential) coupled to Einstein gravity in
(2 + 1) dimensions is reconsidered. We show that the self-duality condition may
be derived from the sole assumption . Next, we derive a family of
exact, doubly self-dual vortex solutions, which interpolate between the
symmetrical and asymmetrical vacua. The corresponding spacetimes have two
regions at spatial infinity. The eighth-order Higgs potential is positive
definite, and closed timelike curves are absent, if the gravitational constant
is chosen to be negative.Comment: 11 pages, LaTe
Chern-Simons Vortices in Supergravity
We study supersymmetric vortex solutions in three-dimensional abelian gauged
supergravity. First, we construct the general U(1)-gauged D=3, N=2 supergravity
whose scalar sector is an arbitrary Kahler manifold with U(1) isometry. This
construction clarifies the connection between local supersymmetry and the
specific forms of some scalar potentials previously found in the literature --
in particular, it provides the locally supersymmetric embedding of the abelian
Chern-Simons Higgs model. We show that the Killing spinor equations admit
rotationally symmetric vortex solutions with asymptotically conical geometry
which preserve half of the supersymmetry.Comment: 26 pages, LaTeX2
Dolan-Grady Relations and Noncommutative Quasi-Exactly Solvable Systems
We investigate a U(1) gauge invariant quantum mechanical system on a 2D
noncommutative space with coordinates generating a generalized deformed
oscillator algebra. The Hamiltonian is taken as a quadratic form in gauge
covariant derivatives obeying the nonlinear Dolan-Grady relations. This
restricts the structure function of the deformed oscillator algebra to a
quadratic polynomial. The cases when the coordinates form the su(2) and sl(2,R)
algebras are investigated in detail. Reducing the Hamiltonian to 1D
finite-difference quasi-exactly solvable operators, we demonstrate partial
algebraization of the spectrum of the corresponding systems on the fuzzy sphere
and noncommutative hyperbolic plane. A completely covariant method based on the
notion of intrinsic algebra is proposed to deal with the spectral problem of
such systems.Comment: 25 pages; ref added; to appear in J. Phys.
Noncommutative U(1) Instantons in Eight Dimensional Yang-Mills Theory
We study the noncommutative version of the extended ADHM construction in the
eight dimensional U(1) Yang-Mills theory. This construction gives rise to the
solutions of the BPS equations in the Yang-Mills theory, and these solutions
preserve at least 3/16 of supersymmetries. In a wide subspace of the extended
ADHM data, we show that the integer which appears in the extended ADHM
construction should be interpreted as the -brane charge rather than the
-brane charge by explicitly calculating the topological charges in the case
that the noncommutativity parameter is anti-self-dual. We also find the
relationship with the solution generating technique and show that the integer
can be interpreted as the charge of the -brane bound to the -brane
with the -field in the case that the noncommutativity parameter is
self-dual.Comment: 22 page
Global Vortex and Black Cosmic String
We study global vortices coupled to (2+1) dimensional gravity with negative
cosmological constant. We found nonsingular vortex solutions in -theory
with a broken U(1) symmetry, of which the spacetimes do not involve physical
curvature singularity. When the magnitude of negative cosmological constant is
larger than a critical value at a given symmetry breaking scale, the spacetime
structure is a regular hyperbola, however it becomes a charged black hole when
the magnitude of cosmological constant is less than the critical value. We
explain through duality transformation the reason why static global vortex
which is electrically neutral forms black hole with electric charge. Under the
present experimental bound of the cosmological constant, implications on
cosmology as a straight black cosmic string is also discussed in comparison
with global U(1) cosmic string in the spacetime of the zero cosmological
constant.Comment: 35 pages, Late
On S-duality in (2+1)-Chern-Simons Supergravity
Strong/weak coupling duality in Chern-Simons supergravity is studied. It is
argued that this duality can be regarded as an example of superduality. The use
of supergroup techniques for the description of Chern-Simons supergravity
greatly facilitates the analysis.Comment: 10+1 pages, latex, no figure
