英文摘要：

We construct a new type of S-matrix in quantum field theory using the general boundary formulation. In contrast to the usual S-matrix the space of free asymptotic states is located at spatial rather than at temporal infinity. Hence, the new S-matrix applies to situations where interactions may remain important at all times, but become negligible with distance. We show that the new S-matrix is equivalent to the usual one in situations where both apply. This equivalence is mediated by an isomorphism between the respective asymptotic state spaces that we construct. We introduce coherent states that allow us to obtain explicit expressions for the new S-matrix. In our formalism crossing symmetry becomes a manifest rather than a derived feature of the S-matrix.

Asymptotic symmetries in spatially flat FRW

We perform an off-shell treatment of asymptotically decelerating spatially flat FRW spacetimes at future null infinity. We obtain supertranslation and superrotation-like asymptotic diffeomorphisms which are consistent with the global symmetries of FRW and we compute how the asymptotic data is transformed under them. Further, we study in detail the effect of these diffeomorphisms on some simple backgrounds including unperturbed FRW and Sultana-Dyer black hole. In particular, we investigate how these transformations act on several cosmologically perturbed backgrounds.

Asymptotic Chern-Simons formulation of spacelike stretched AdS gravity

We show that the asymptotic structures of topologically massive gravity in the spacelike stretched AdS sector and an $SL(2,R)\times U(1)$ Chern-Simons gauge theory can be identified by adopting a natural correspondence between their fields and coupling constants.

Classical formulation of Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis

Spacetimes admitting appropriate spatial homothetic Killing vectors are called spatially homothetic spacetimes. Such spacetimes conform to the fact that gravity has no length-scale for matter inhomogeneities. The matter density for such spacetimes is (spatially) arbitrary and the matter generating the spacetime admits {\it any} equation of state. Spatially homothetic spacetimes necessarily possess energy-momentum fluxes. We first discuss spherically symmetric and axially symmetric examples of such spacetimes that do not form naked singularities for regular initial data. We then show that the C…

Asymptotic Weyl Double Copy

A characteristic value formulation of the Weyl double copy leads to an asymptotic formulation. We find that the Weyl double copy holds asymptotically in cases where the full solution is algebraically general, using rotating STU supergravity black holes as an example. The asymptotic formulation provides clues regarding the relation between asymptotic symmetries that follows from the double copy. Using the C-metric as an example, we show that a previous interpretation of this gravity solution as a superrotation has a single copy analogue relating the appropriate Liénard-Wiechert potential to a l…

Asymptotic symmetries of scalar electrodynamics and of the abelian Higgs model in Hamiltonian formulation

We investigate the asymptotic symmetry group of a scalar field minimally-coupled to an abelian gauge field using the Hamiltonian formulation. This extends previous work by Henneaux and Troessaert on the pure electromagnetic case. We deal with minimally coupled massive and massless scalar fields and find that they behave differently insofar as the latter do not allow for canonically implemented asymptotic boost symmetries. We also consider the abelian Higgs model and show that its asymptotic canonical symmetries reduce to the Poincaré group in an unproblematic fashion.

A superspace formulation of an "asymptotic" OSp(3,1|2) invariance of Yang-Mills theories

We formulate a superspace field theory which is shown to be equivalent to the $c-\bar{c}$ symmetric BRS/Anti-BRS invariant Yang-Mills action. The theory uses a 6-dimensional superspace and one OSp(3,1|2) vector multiplet of unconstrained superfields. We establish a superspace WT identity and show that the formulation has an asymptotic OSp(3,1|2) invariance as the gauge parameter goes to infinity. We give a physical interpretation of this asymptotic OSp(3,1|2) invariance as a symmetry transformation among the longitudinal/time like degrees of freedom of $A_μ$ and the ghost degrees of freedom.

Self-similar cosmological solutions with dark energy. I: formulation and asymptotic analysis

Based on the asymptotic analysis of ordinary differential equations, we classify all spherically symmetric self-similar solutions to the Einstein equations which are asymptotically Friedmann at large distances and contain a perfect fluid with equation of state $p=(γ-1)μ$ with $0<γ<2/3$. This corresponds to a ``dark energy'' fluid and the Friedmann solution is accelerated in this case due to anti-gravity. This extends the previous analysis of spherically symmetric self-similar solutions for fluids with positive pressure ($γ>1$). However, in the latter case there is an additional parameter assoc…

Higher dimensional formulation of counterterms

It is by now well established that divergences of the on-shell action for asymptotically AdS solutions can be cancelled by adding covariant local boundary counterterms to the action. Here we show that although one can still renormalise the action for asymptotically $AdS_p \times S^q$ solutions using local boundary counterterms the counterterm action is not covariant since the conformal boundary is degenerate. Any given counterterm action is defined with respect to specific coordinate frame and gauge choices.

Scattering asymptotic conditions in Euclidean relativistic quantum theory

We discuss the formulation of the scattering asymptotic condition as a strong limit in Euclidean quantum theories satisfying the Osterwalder-Schrader axioms. When used with the invariance principle this provides a constructive method to compute scattering observables directly in the Euclidean formulation of the theory, without an explicit analytic continuation.

Asymptotic symmetries of Yang-Mills fields in Hamiltonian formulation

We investigate the asymptotic symmetry group of the free SU(N)-Yang-Mills theory using the Hamiltonian formalism. We closely follow the strategy of Henneaux and Troessaert who successfully applied the Hamiltonian formalism to the case of gravity and electrodynamics, thereby deriving the respective asymptotic symmetry groups of these theories from clear-cut first principles. These principles include the minimal assumptions that are necessary to ensure the existence of Hamiltonian structures (phase space, symplectic form, differentiable Hamiltonian) and, in case of Poincaré invariant theories, a…

Dual formulations of non-abelian spin models: local representation and low-temperature asymptotics

Non-abelian lattice spin models with symmetry group SU(N) or U(N) can be formulated in terms of link variables which are subject to the Bianchi constraints. Using this representation we derive exact and local dual formulation for the partition function of such models on a cubic lattice in arbitrary dimension D. Locality means that the dual action is given by a sum over some subset of hypercubes of the dual lattice and the interaction between dual variables ranges over one given hypercube. Dual variables are in general discrete-valued and live on (D-2)-cell of the dual lattice, in close analogy…
