A 3D Field-Theoretic Example for Hodge Theory

A. K. Rao, R. P. Malik

AI总结:

本文在 BRST 形式体系内研究了自由阿贝尔 1-形式与 2-形式规范理论组合的 3D 系统的连续对称性,首次确立了奇数维($D=3$)场论系统作为 Hodge 理论的示例,其对称性算子实现了 de Rham 上同调算子的物理对应。

摘要:

我们聚焦于在 Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) 形式体系框架内,自由阿贝尔 1-形式与 2-形式规范理论组合而成的三 ($2 + 1$) 维 (3D) 系统的连续对称性变换。我们证明该组合系统是 Hodge 理论的一个可处理场论模型。我们现有理论的对称性算子在代数层面提供了微分几何中 de Rham 上同调算子的物理实现。本研究的意义在于,我们首次能够确立一个奇数维(即 $D = 3$)场论系统作为 Hodge 理论的示例(除了早期关于几个有趣的 ($0 + 1$) 维玩具模型以及一组具有物理意义的著名 ${\mathcal N} = 2$ SUSY 量子力学系统的工作)。为简洁起见,在我们的理论中,我们未考虑阿贝尔 1-形式规范场的 3D Chern-Simon 项,该项允许质量与规范不变性共存。

英文摘要:

We focus on the continuous symmetry transformations for the three ($2 + 1$)-dimensional (3D) system of a combination of the free Abelian 1-form and 2-form gauge theories within the framework of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism. We establish that this combined system is a tractable field-theoretic model of Hodge theory. The symmetry operators of our present theory provide the physical realizations of the de Rham cohomological operators of differential geometry at the algebraic level. Our present investigation is important in the sense that, for the first time, we are able to establish an odd dimensional (i.e. $D = 3$) field-theoretic system to be an example for Hodge theory (besides earlier works on a few interesting ($0 + 1$)-dimensional toy models as well as a set of well-known ${\mathcal N} = 2$ SUSY quantum mechanical systems of physical interest). For the sake of brevity, we have not taken into account the 3D Chern-Simon term for the Abelian 1-form gauge field in our theory which allows the mass and gauge-invariance to co-exist together.
