Equivalence classes for gauge theories
In this paper we go deep into the connection between duality and fields
redefinition for general bilinear models involving the 1-form gauge field .
A duality operator is fixed based on "gauge embedding" procedure. Dual models
are shown to fit in equivalence classes of models with same fields
redefinitions
Classical Integrable N=1 and Super Sinh-Gordon Models with Jump Defects
The structure of integrable field theories in the presence of jump defects is
discussed in terms of boundary functions under the Lagrangian formalism.
Explicit examples of bosonic and fermionic theories are considered. In
particular, the boundary functions for the N=1 and N=2 super sinh-Gordon models
are constructed and shown to generate the Backlund transformations for its
soliton solutions. As a new and interesting example, a solution with an
incoming boson and an outgoing fermion for the N=1 case is presented. The
resulting integrable models are shown to be invariant under supersymmetric
transformation.Comment: talk presented at the V International Symposium on Quantum Theory and
Symmetries, Valladolid, Spain, July 22-28,200
Duality and fields redefinition in three dimensions
We analyze local fields redefinition and duality for gauge field theories in
three dimensions. We find that both Maxwell-Chern-Simons and the Self-Dual
models admits the same fields redefinition. Maxwell-Proca action and its dual
also share this property. We show explicitly that a gauge-fixing term has no
influence on duality and fields redefinition.Comment: 8 pages, suppressed contents. To appear in J. Phys.
Lorentz symmetry breaking in the noncommutative Wess-Zumino model: One loop corrections
In this paper we deal with the issue of Lorentz symmetry breaking in quantum
field theories formulated in a non-commutative space-time. We show that, unlike
in some recente analysis of quantum gravity effects, supersymmetry does not
protect the theory from the large Lorentz violating effects arising from the
loop corrections. We take advantage of the non-commutative Wess-Zumino model to
illustrate this point.Comment: 9 pages, revtex4. Corrected references. Version published in PR
T-Duality in 2-D Integrable Models
The non-conformal analog of abelian T-duality transformations relating pairs
of axial and vector integrable models from the non abelian affine Toda family
is constructed and studied in detail.Comment: 14 pages, Latex, v.2 misprints corrected, reference added, to appear
