Higher Spin Currents in the Holographic N=1 Coset Minimal Model

In the N=1 supersymmetric coset minimal model based on (B_N^{(1)} \oplus D_N^{(1)}, D_N^{(1)}) at level (k,1) studied recently, the standard N=1 super stress tensor of spins (3/2,2) is reviewed. By considering the stress tensor in the coset (B_N^{(1)}, D_N^{(1)}) at level k, the higher spin-2' Casimir current was obtained previously. By acting the above spin-3/2 current on the higher spin-2' Casimir current, its superpartner, the higher spin-5/2 current, can be generated and combined as the first higher spin supercurrent with spins (2', 5/2). By calculating the operator product expansions (OPE) between the higher spin supercurrent and itself, the next higher spin supercurrent can be generated with spins (7/2,4). Moreover, the other higher spin supercurrent with spins (4',9/2) can be generated by calculating the OPE between the first higher spin supercurrent with spins (2', 5/2) and the second higher spin supercurrent with spins (7/2,4). Finally, the higher spin supercurrent, (11/2,6), can be extracted from the right hand side of OPE between the higher spin supercurrents, (2', 5/2) and (4', 9/2).Comment: 97 pages; footnotes 1, 7 and 9 and the last paragraph of Appendix F added and to appear in JHE

Toward an Effective Field Theory for Cold Compressed Baryonic Matter

This is an extended version of the note taken by the first author (W.-G.P.) on a lecture given by the second author (M.R.) as a first part of the series on "Hadronic Matter Under Extreme Conditions," the principal theme of the WCU-Hanyang Program. It covers the attempts to go in a framework anchored on effective field theory of QCD from zero density to the nuclear matter density and slightly beyond, with the ultimate goal of arriving at the density relevant to compact stars, including chiral phase transition and quark matter. The focus is on the conceptual aspects rather than detailed "fitting" of the data on the kinds of physics that are being addressed to in radioactive-ion-beam machines in operation as well as in project (such as `KoRIA' in Korea) and will be explored at such forthcoming accelerators as FAIR/GSI. The approach presented here is basically different from the standard ones found in the literature in that the notion of hidden local symmetry -- which underlies the chiral symmetry of the strong interactions -- and its generalization to dual gravity description involving infinite tower of hidden gauge fields are closely relied on.Comment: 25 pages, 12 figures, WCU lecture note prepared for the review section of MPL

Towards New Membrane Flow from de Wit-Nicolai Construction

The internal 4-form field strengths with 7-dimensional indices have been constructed by de Wit and Nicolai in 1986. They are determined by the following six quantities: the 56-bein of 4-dimensional N=8 gauged supergravity, the Killing vectors on the round seven-sphere, the covariant derivative acting on these Killing vectors, the warp factor, the field strengths with 4-dimensional indices and the 7-dimensional metric. In this paper, by projecting out the remaining mixed 4-form field strengths in an SU(8) tensor that appears in the variation of spin 1/2 fermionic sector, we also write down them explicitly in terms of some of the above quantities. For the known critical points, the N=8 SO(8) point and the nonsupersymmetric SO(7)^{+} point, we reproduce the corresponding 11-dimensional uplifts by computing the full nonlinear expressions. Moreover, we find out the 11-dimensional lift of the nonsupersymmetric SO(7)^{+} invariant flow. We decode their implicit formula for the first time and the present work will provide how to obtain the new supersymmetric or nonsupersymmetric membrane flows in 11-dimensions.Comment: 28 pages; the footnote 2 is added and to appear in IJMP

The Operator Product Expansions in the N=4{\cal N}=4 Orthogonal Wolf Space Coset Model

Some of the operator product expansions (OPEs) between the lowest $SO(4)$ singlet higher spin-$2$ multiplet of spins $(2, \frac{5}{2}, \frac{5}{2}, \frac{5}{2}, \frac{5}{2}, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, \frac{7}{2}, \frac{7}{2}, \frac{7}{2}, \frac{7}{2}, 4)$ in an extension of the large ${\cal N}=4$ (non)linear superconformal algebra were constructed in the ${\cal N}=4$ superconformal coset $\frac{SO(N+4)}{SO(N) \times SO(4)}$ theory with $N=4$ previously. In this paper, by rewriting the above OPEs with $N=5$, the remaining undetermined OPEs are completely determined. There exist additional $SO(4)$ singlet higher spin-$2$ multiplet, six $SO(4)$ adjoint higher spin-$3$ multiplets, four $SO(4)$ vector higher spin-$\frac{7}{2}$ multiplets, $SO(4)$ singlet higher spin-$4$ multiplet and four $SO(4)$ vector higher spin-$\frac{9}{2}$ multiplets in the right hand side of these OPEs. Furthermore, by introducing the arbitrary coefficients in front of the composite fields in the right hand sides of the above complete 136 OPEs, the complete structures of the above OPEs are obtained by using various Jacobi identities for generic $N$. Finally, we describe them as one single ${\cal N}=4$ super OPE between the above lowest $SO(4)$ singlet higher spin-$2$ multiplet in the ${\cal N}=4$ superspace.Comment: 40 pages, the mathematica ancillary files included; footnotes 5 and 8 and appendix E adde

The Inhomogeneous Phase of Dense Skyrmion Matter

It was predicted qualitatively in ref.[1] that skyrmion matter at low density is stable in an inhomogeneous phase where skyrmions condensate into lumps while the remaining space is mostly empty. The aim of this paper is to proof quantitatively this prediction. In order to construct an inhomogeneous medium we distort the original FCC crystal to produce a phase of planar structures made of skyrmions. We implement mathematically these planar structures by means of the 't Hooft instanton solution using the Atiyah-Manton ansatz. The results of our calculation of the average density and energy confirm the prediction suggesting that the phase diagram of the dense skyrmion matter is a lot more complex than a simple phase transition from the skyrmion FCC crystal lattice to the half-skyrmion CC one. Our results show that skyrmion matter shares common properties with standard nuclear matter developing a skin and leading to a binding energy equation which resembles the Weiszaecker mass formula.Comment: 8 figures, 14 page

Dilaton-Limit Fixed Point in Hidden Local Symmetric Parity Doublet Model

We study nucleon structure with positive and negative parities using a parity doublet model endowed with hidden local symmetry (HLS) with the objective to probe dense baryonic matter. The model -- that we shall refer to as "PDHLS model" for short -- allows a chiral-invariant mass of the nucleons unconnected to spontaneously broken chiral symmetry which comes out to be m_0 ~ 200 MeV at tree level from fitting to the decay width of the parity doubler, N(1535), to nucleon-pion and nucleon axial coupling g_A=1.267. The presence of a substantial m_0 that remains non-vanishing at chiral restoration presents a deep issue for the origin of the nucleon mass as well as will affect nontrivially the equation of state for dense baryonic matter relevant for compact stars. We construct a chiral perturbation theory at one-loop order and explore the phase structure of the model using renormalization group equations. We find a fixed point that corresponds exactly to the "dilaton limit" at which the HLS vector mesons decouple from the nucleons before reaching the vector manifestation fixed point. We suggest that cold baryonic system will flow to this limit as density increases toward that of chiral restoration.Comment: 22 pages, 6 figure
