In the first section, a gauge theory of an unquantized generalized electron interacting with the electromagnetic field through two vector potentials is formulated, based on invariance of the Lagrangian under an algebra of spin space transformations. The covariant derivative is essentially expres­sed in terms of spin space operators. It is not possible to define dual monopole spinors in a four-component theory. However, a modified eight-component generalized electron gauge theory transforms into a dual monopole theory by using a square root of the charge conjugation operator. The covariant derivatives of the two spinors are members of a continuous set, and define curvature and torsion in spin space corresponding to the two spinors. Physically important ‘weak spin curvature’ is closely related to the total electromagnetic field. Possible physical interpretations and extensions of the theory are discussed.

Generalized m-parabolic K?hler manifolds are defined and holomorphically projective mappings between such manifolds have been considered. Two non-linear systems of PDE?s in covariant derivatives of the first and second kind for the existence of such mappings are given. Also, relations between five linearly independent curvature tensors of generalized m-parabolic K?hler manifolds with respect to these mappings are examined.

This chapter studies conformal curvature tensors of a pseudo-Riemannian metric g. These are defined in terms of the covariant derivatives of the curvature tensor of an ambient metric in normal form relative to g. Their transformation laws under conformal change are given in terms of the action of a subgroup of the conformal group O(p + 1, q + 1) on tensors. It is assumed throughout this chapter that n ≥ 3.

The derivative expansion of the one-loop effective Lagrangian in QED4 is considered. The first term in such an expansion is the famous Schwinger result for a constant electromagnetic field. In this paper we give an explicit expression for the next term containing two derivatives of the field strength Fμν. The results are presented for both fermion and scalar electrodynamics. Some possible applications of an inhomogeneous external field are pointed out.

A compact simply connected complex homogeneous manifold is said briefly a C-space, which was completely classified by H. C. Wang [12]. A C-space is called to be Kählerian if it admits a Kählerian metric such that a group of isometries acts transitively on it. Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type are typical examples of a Kählerian C-space. Let M be an arbitrary Kählerian C-space and R its curvature tensor. M. Itoh [6] expressed R in the language of Lie algebra and investigated various properties of R. In this paper, we study higher covariant derivatives of R.

Abstract We deal with the question of what it means to define a minimal coupling prescription in presence of torsion and/or non-metricity, carefully explaining while the naive substitution $$\partial \rightarrow \nabla $$∂→∇ introduces extra couplings between the matter fields and the connection that can be regarded as non-minimal in presence of torsion and/or non-metricity. We will also investigate whether minimal coupling prescriptions at the level of the action (MCPL) or at the level of field equations (MCPF) lead to different dynamics. To that end, we will first write the Euler–Lagrange equations for matter fields in terms of the covariant derivatives of a general non-Riemannian space, and derivate the form of the associated Noether currents and charges. Then we will see that if the minimal coupling prescriptions is applied as we discuss, for spin 0 and 1 fields the results of MCPL and MCPF are equivalent, while for spin 1/2 fields there is a difference if one applies the MCPF or the MCPL, since the former leads to charge violation.

The World

The construction of field theory which exhibits invariance under the Weyl group with parameters dependent on space–time is discussed. The method is that used by Utiyama for the Lorentz group and by Kibble for the Poincaré group. The need to construct world-covariant derivatives necessitates the introduction of three sets of gauge fields which provide a local affine connexion and a vierbein system. The geometrical implications are explored; the world geometry has an affine connexion which is not symmetric but is semi-metric. A possible choice of Lagrangian for the gauge fields is presented, and the resulting field equations and conservation laws discussed.

Due to a suitable Higgs mechanism, a standard Anti-de Sitter gauge theory becomes spontaneously broken. The resulting Lorentz invariant gravitational action includes the Hilbert–Einstein term of ordinary Einstein–Cartan gravity with cosmological constant, plus contributions quadratic in curvature and torsion, and a scalar Higgs sector.

A Lie group containing a subgroup is considered. Such a group is a principal bundle, a typical fiber of this principal bundle is the subgroup and a base is a homogeneous space, which is obtained by factoring the group by the subgroup. Starting from this group, we constructed structure equations of a space with Cartan connection, which generalizes the Cartan point projective connection, Akivis’s linear projective connection, and a plane projective connection. Structure equations of this Cartan connection, containing the components of the curvature-torsion object, allowed: 1) to show that the curvature-torsion object forms a tensor containing a torsion tensor; 2) to find an analogue of the Bianchi identities such that the curvature-torsion tensor and its Pfaff derivatives satisfy this analogue; 3) to obtain the conditions for the transformation of Pfaffian derivatives of the curvature-torsion tensor into covariant derivatives with respect to the Cartan connection.

Color Confinement

In the present work we show that it is possible to arrive at a Ginzburg-Landau (GL) like equation from pure SU (2) gauge theory. This has a connection to the dual superconducting model for color confinement where color flux tubes permanently bind quarks into color neutral states. The GL Lagrangian with a spontaneous symmetry breaking potential, has such (Nielsen-Olesen) flux tube solutions. The spontaneous symmetry breaking requires a tachyonic mass for the effective scalar field. Such a tachyonic mass term is obtained from the condensation of ghost fields.
