TheA 1-and the ϕ-meson in QCD
1993
Recently we used a method of stable analytic extrapolation to test whether strictly local duality between the asymptotic and the resonance region, which is believed to be valid in QCD, appears already at the present stage of QCD calculations. Probing the QCD ϱ-amplitude, we found a prominent bump structure in the resonance region, i.e. a rather direct evidence for the validity of local duality. In the present paper we confirm and extend this result by giving two further applications, theA1-meson and the ϕ-meson. While we do not meet theA1, as was to be expected since other sum rules can not separate it from the continuum, too, the extrapolation of the ϕ-amplitude leads to an enormous bump. …
Abelian charges in a nonabelian Yang-Mills theory from the stratification of the space of gauge potentials
1992
Abstract The Abelian charges in a non-Abelian Yang-Mills-Dirac theory arising from the reduction of the structure group are studied. They are defined by the concept of the stabilizer gauge transformations. Their properties are investigated. The relationship between the whole class of stabilizers and the stratification of the space of gauge potentials is given. The effect of the spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism on these charges is discussed.
Supersymmetry in the standard model of electroweak interactions
1993
Abstract Starting from the peculiar chirality pattern of weak and electromagnetic interactions, established by experiment, we show that the minimal standard model contains supersymmetry, though in a new, unconventional, realization. It appears as an action on the fields but is not an invariance of the lagrangian. This supersymmetry which is not in conflict with experiment, is seen to be the raison d'etre of the Higgs fields and provides a geometrical understanding of spontaneous symmetry breaking. It turns out that this approach which is based on the fundamental role of left- and right-chiral spinor fields in weak interactions, has many similarities to models developed in the framework of n…
Light quark condensates from QCD sum rules
1985
The light quark condensates have been determined by two different methods: By Laplace transformed QCD sum rules together with an improved hadronic continuum from extended PCAC and by analytic continuation by duality (ACD) of the asymptotic QCD amplitude. Both methods yield compatible results. The PCAC corrections are considerably large: for theu, d quarks near 8% and for theu, s quarks of order 60%.
The electromagnetic mass difference of pions from asymptotic QCD
1983
We show how the asymptotic behaviour of an analytic amplitude can yield information on the amplitude at small space-like momenta. Applying this to QCD two-point functions, we are able to obtain low energy parameters without using resonance saturation. In the special case considered here, we have calculated the electromagnetic mass difference of pions using only the asymptotic QCD amplitude. The result, in very good agreement with experiment is\(\Delta m_\pi = 5.3 \pm 1.5MeV.\)
Determination of resonance parameters in QCD by functional analysis methods
1988
A mathematically rigorous method based on functional analysis is used to determine resonance parameters of an amplitude from its given asymptotic expression in the space-like region. This method is checked on a model amplitude where both the asymptotic expression and the exact function are known. This method is then applied to the determination of the mass and the width of the ρ-meson from the corresponding space-like asymptotic QCD expression.
Anomalies from nonfree action of the gauge group
1990
Abstract The question whether new anomalies appear, connected with the finite dimensional part of the gauge group isomorphic to the structure group of the theory, is investigated in a systematical way. The stability groups from the stratification of the gauge group on the space of connections lead to anomalies. The detection of these anomalies within the equivariant approach pursued here is extremely simple. For a large class of theories it is shown that no new anomalies appear.
Differential algebras in non-commutative geometry
1993
We discuss the differential algebras used in Connes' approach to Yang-Mills theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking. These differential algebras generated by algebras of the form functions $\otimes$ matrix are shown to be skew tensorproducts of differential forms with a specific matrix algebra. For that we derive a general formula for differential algebras based on tensor products of algebras. The result is used to characterize differential algebras which appear in models with one symmetry breaking scale.
Structure of the space of reducible connections for Yang-Mills theories
1990
Abstract The geometrical structure of the gauge equivalence classes of reducible connections are investigated. The general procedure to determine the set of orbit types (strata) generated by the action of the gauge group on the space of gauge potentials is given. In the so obtained classification, a stratum, containing generically certain reducible connections, corresponds to a class of isomorphic subbundles given by an orbit of the structure and gauge group. The structure of every stratum is completely clarified. A nonmain stratum can be understood in terms of the main stratum corresponding to a stratification at the level of a subbundle.
SU(2|1) symmetry, algebraic superconnections and a generalized theory of electroweak interactions
1991
We discuss an extension of the standard model of electroweak interactions which incorporates the usual gauge fields and the Higgs fields in one generalized Yang-Mills field (or superconnection). It is shown that both this Yang-Mills field and the corresponding field strength (supercurvature) take their values in the real, graded Lie algebra SU(2|1). The lagrangian as obtained from this superconnection yields the standard model with interesting predictions for masses and couplings. The primordial, larger symmetry is realized as a hidden symmetry. The odd part survives in relations between couplings and masses, while the even part is broken to U(1)em, as usual, though in “reverse order” as co…
The generation of the ϱ-resonance by QCD
1992
By showing that the imaginary part of a suitable QCD amplitude, after extrapolation up to the cut, exhibits indeed a prominent bump structure where the ϱ-resonance is expected to be, a rather direct indication for the generation of the ϱ-resonance by QCD is given. This is achieved by using a mathematically rigorous method of stable analytic extrapolation, based on the theory of maximally converging sequences of polynomials and the application of conformal mappings.
