Topological Mass

We obtain a Lorentzian solution for the topologically massive non-Abelian gauge theory on AdS space [Formula: see text] by means of an SU (1, 1) gauge transformation of the previously found Abelian solution. There exists a natural scale of length which is determined by the inverse topological mass ν ~ ng2. In the topologically massive electrodynamics the field strength locally determines the gauge potential up to a closed 1-form via the (anti-)self-duality equation. We introduce a transformation of the gauge potential using the dual field strength which can be identified with an Abelian gauge transformation. Then we present map [Formula: see text] including the topological mass which is the Lorentzian analog of the Hopf map. This map yields a global decomposition of [Formula: see text] as a trivial [Formula: see text] bundle over the upper portion of the pseudosphere [Formula: see text] which is the Hyperboloid model for the Lobachevski geometry. This leads to a reduction of the Abelian field equation onto [Formula: see text] using a global section of the solution on [Formula: see text]. Then we discuss the integration of the field equation using the Archimedes map [Formula: see text]. We also present a brief discussion of the holonomy of the gauge potential and the dual field strength on [Formula: see text].

Group Measure

In this paper we apply the averaging technique (using a right-invariant local gauge group measure) to local polynomials of the SU (N) gauge potential [Formula: see text] and show that the results are divergent and ill-defined.

Strength Tensor

A model of SU(2) gauge theory is constructed in terms of local gauge-invariant variables defined over a four-dimensional space–time endowed with axial symmetry. A metric tensor gμν is defined starting with the components [Formula: see text] of the strength tensor and its dual [Formula: see text]. The components gμν are interpreted as new local gauge-invariant variables. Imposing the condition that the new metric coincides with the initial metric we obtain the field equations for the considered ansatz. We obtain the same field equations using the condition of self-duality. It is concluded that the self-dual variables are compatible with the axial symmetry of the space–time. A family of analytical solutions of the gauge field equations is also obtained. The solutions have the confining properties. All the calculations are performed using the GRTensorII computer algebra package, running on the MapleV platform.
