n维时空中的拓扑场论与Cartan方程

Topological field theories in n-dimensional spacetimes and Cartan's equations

Vladimir Cuesta, Merced Montesinos, Mercedes Velazquez, Jose David Vergara

摘要:

本文给出了n维时空流形中的同态不变拓扑场论的BF型作用量原理。他们的建设的灵感来自奎斯塔和Montesinos'最近的文件,其中Cartan的第一和第二结构方程连同第一和第二Bianchi身份被视为运动方程的场论。与那篇论文相反,目前的方法还涉及辅助场,并且对任意n维时空都成立。狄拉克的规范分析的行动进行了详细的一般情况下,它表明,这些行动原则定义拓扑场论,如前所述。目前的形式主义是一个通用的框架,通过引入额外的限制,破坏了原来的理论的拓扑性质所涉及的各个领域的局部自由度的几何理论。后一种想法是在二维时空中实现的,在那里,引力耦合到物质场被构造出来,它确实具有局部激发。

英文摘要:

Action principles of the BF type for diffeomorphism invariant topological field theories living in n-dimensional spacetime manifolds are presented. Their construction is inspired by Cuesta and Montesinos' recent paper where Cartan's first and second structure equations together with first and second Bianchi identities are treated as the equations of motion for a field theory. In opposition to that paper, the current approach involves also auxiliary fields and holds for arbitrary n-dimensional spacetimes. Dirac's canonical analysis for the actions is detailedly carried out in the generic case and it is shown that these action principles define topological field theories, as mentioned. The current formalism is a generic framework to construct geometric theories with local degrees of freedom by introducing additional constraints on the various fields involved that destroy the topological character of the original theory. The latter idea is implemented in two-dimensional spacetimes where gravity coupled to matter fields is constructed out, which has indeed local excitations.
