    Towards a quantum field theory of primitive string fields

    Full text link
    We denote generating functions of massless even higher spin fields "primitive string fields" (PSF's). In an introduction we present the necessary definitions and derive propagators and currents of these PDF's on flat space. Their off-shell cubic interaction can be derived after all off-shell cubic interactions of triplets of higher spin fields have become known [2],[3]. Then we discuss four-point functions of any quartet of PSF's. In subsequent sections we exploit the fact that higher spin field theories in AdSd+1AdS_{d+1} are determined by AdS/CFT correspondence from universality classes of critical systems in dd dimensional flat spaces. The O(N) invariant sectors of the O(N) vector models for 1≤N≤∞1\leq N \leq \infty play for us the role of "standard models", for varying NN, they contain e.g. the Ising model for N=1 and the spherical model for N=∞N=\infty. A formula for the masses squared that break gauge symmetry for these O(N) classes is presented for d = 3. For the PSF on AdSAdS space it is shown that it can be derived by lifting the PSF on flat space by a simple kernel which contains the sum over all spins. Finally we use an algorithm to derive all symmetric tensor higher spin fields. They arise from monomials of scalar fields by derivation and selection of conformal (quasiprimary) fields. Typically one monomial produces a multiplet of spin ss conformal higher spin fields for all s≥4s \geq 4, they are distinguished by their anomalous dimensions (in CFT3CFT_3) or by their mass (in AdS4AdS_4). We sum over these multiplets and the spins to obtain "string type fields", one for each such monomial.Comment: 16 pages,Late

    Regularization and finiteness of the Lorentzian LQG vertices

    Full text link
    We give an explicit form for the Lorentzian vertices recently introduced for possibly defining the dynamics of loop quantum gravity. As a result of so doing, a natural regularization of the vertices is suggested. The regularized vertices are then proven to be finite. An interpretation of the regularization in terms of a gauge-fixing is also given.Comment: 16 pages; Added an appendix presenting the gauge-fixing interpretation, added three references, and made some minor change

    Lifting a Conformal Field Theory from D-Dimensional Flat Space to (D+1)-Dimensional Ads Space

    Full text link
    A quantum field theory on Anti-de-Sitter space can be constructed from a conformal field theory on its boundary Minkowski space by an inversion of the holographic mapping. To do this the conformal field theory must satisfy certain constraints. The structure of operator product expansions is carried over to AdS space. We show that this method yields a higher spin field theory HS(4) from the minimal conformal O(N) sigma model in three dimensions. For these models AdS/CFT correspondence is hereby proved to second order in the coupling constant.Comment: Latex file, 19 pages; one section added, 3 references added, typos correcte

    Supersymmetric Distributions, Hilbert Spaces of Supersymmetric Functions and Quantum Fields

    The recently investigated Hilbert-Krein and other positivity structures of the superspace are considered in the framework of superdistributions. These tools are applied to problems raised by the rigorous supersymmetric quantum field theory.Comment: 24 page

    Multiple algebraisations of an elliptic Calogero-Sutherland model

    Full text link
    Recently, Gomez-Ullate et al. (1) have studied a particular N-particle quantum problem with an elliptic function potential supplemented by an external field. They have shown that the Hamiltonian operator preserves a finite dimensional space of functions and as such is quasi exactly solvable (QES). In this paper we show that other types of invariant function spaces exist, which are in close relation to the algebraic properties of the elliptic functions. Accordingly, series of new algebraic eigenfunctions can be constructed.Comment: 9 Revtex pages, 3 PS-figures; Summary, abstract and conclusions extende

    Exactly solvable potentials of Calogero type for q-deformed Coxeter groups

    Get PDF
    We establish that by parameterizing the configuration space of a one-dimensional quantum system by polynomial invariants of q-deformed Coxeter groups it is possible to construct exactly solvable models of Calogero type. We adopt the previously introduced notion of solvability which consists of relating the Hamiltonian to finite dimensional representation spaces of a Lie algebra. We present explicitly the G2qG_2^q -case for which we construct the potentials by means of suitable gauge transformations.Comment: 22 pages Late

    Local Interactions of Higher-Spin Potentials That are Gauge Invariant in Linear Approximation

    Full text link
    We study connected Wightman functions of NN conserved currents, each of which is formed from a scalar field and has even spin lil_{i}. The UV divergence of this vertex function is regularized by the analytic continuation in the space dimension D⟶D−ϵD\longrightarrow D-\epsilon. We evaluate the residue of ϵ−1\epsilon ^{-1} only, which is a local interaction Lagrangian density and gauge invariant in linearComment: Talk given at Group XXVII Yerevan, Armenia, August 13-29, 2008, v.2 published in Yadernaya Fizika 73 (2010) 518-52

    Conformal partial wave analysis of AdS amplitudes for dilaton-axion four-point functions

    Get PDF
    Operator product expansions are applied to dilaton-axion four-point functions. In the expansions of the bilocal fields Φ~Φ~\tilde{\Phi}\tilde{\Phi}, C~C~\tilde{C}\tilde{C} and Φ~C~\tilde{\Phi}\tilde{C}, the conformal fields which are symmetric traceless tensors of rank ll and have dimensions δ=2+l\delta=2+l or 8+l+η(l)8+l+\eta(l) and η(l)=O(N−2)\eta(l)=\mathcal{O}(N^{-2}) are identified. The unidentified fields have dimension δ=λ+l+η(l)\delta=\lambda+l+\eta(l) with λ≥10\lambda\geq 10. The anomalous dimensions η(l)\eta(l) are calculated at order O(N−2)\mathcal{O}(N^{-2}) for both 2−1/2(−Φ~Φ~+C~C~)2^{-{1/2}}(-\tilde{\Phi}\tilde{\Phi} + \tilde{C}\tilde{C}) and 2−1/2(Φ~C~+C~Φ~)2^{-{1/2}}(\tilde{\Phi}\tilde{C} + \tilde{C}\tilde{\Phi}) and are found to be the same, proving U(1)YU(1)_Y symmetry. The relevant coupling constants are given at order O(1)\mathcal{O}(1).Comment: 27 pages, 1 graph, 12 figures, Corrections in eqns. (1.10), (1.11

    Gravitation on a Homogeneous Domain

    Full text link
    Among all plastic deformations of the gravitational Lorentz vacuum \cite{wr1} a particular role is being played by conformal deformations. These are conveniently described by using the homogeneous space for the conformal group SU(2,2)/S(U(2)x U(2)) and its Shilov boundary - the compactified Minkowski space \tilde{M} [1]. In this paper we review the geometrical structure involved in such a description. In particular we demonstrate that coherent states on the homogeneous Kae}hler domain give rise to Einstein-like plastic conformal deformations when extended to \tilde{M} [2].Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure; four misprints in the original version corrected: one lacking closing parenthesis, two letters, and an overall sign in front of the primitive function on p.
