类扭坐标下的非对易场论

Non-commutative Field Theory with Twistor-like Coordinates

Tomasz R. Taylor

摘要:

我们考虑四维闵可夫斯基时空中的量子场论,其中位置坐标用扭子代替通常的世界向量。在扭转子和对偶扭转子之间施加正则对易关系后,由扭转子变量的非全纯函数描述的场的量子理论变得明显非对易,洛伦兹对称性被类时向量破缺。我们讨论了自由场的传播及其对微扰理论中物理振幅的短距离和长距离行为的影响。在紫外极限,扭量空间中的量子场论一般比它们的交换场论发散性小。此外,不存在红外-紫外混合问题。

英文摘要:

We consider quantum field theory in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, with the position coordinates represented by twistors instead of the usual world-vectors. Upon imposing canonical commutation relations between twistors and dual twistors, quantum theory of fields described by non-holomorphic functions of twistor variables becomes manifestly non-commutative, with Lorentz symmetry broken by a time-like vector. We discuss the free field propagation and its impact on the short- and long-distance behavior of physical amplitudes in perturbation theory. In the ultraviolet limit, quantum field theories in twistor space are generically less divergent than their commutative counterparts. Furthermore, there is no infrared--ultraviolet mixing problem.
