Abstract

SummaryIdentifying axial vectors and pseudoscalars as antisymmetric 3-component and 4-component tensors in space-time of arbitrary dimensions, we discover a new PCAC law: $$\partial [_{K\bar \psi } \Gamma _L \Gamma _M \Gamma _{N]} = $$ $$ = 2mi\bar \psi \Gamma _{[K} \Gamma _L \Gamma _M \Gamma _{N]} \psi - \frac{1}{5}i\bar \psi (\overleftrightarrow {i\partial }^J + 2eA^J )\Gamma _{[J} \Gamma _K \Gamma _L \Gamma _M \Gamma _{N]} \psi = $$ , where the extra term on the right-hand side does not exist in 4 dimensions. However, when we do descend to 4 dimensions after dimensional regularization it is precisely the axial vector anomaly. In a parallel calculation we have also shown how to obtain the anomaly in the matrix elements of the trace of the stress tensor.RiassuntoIdentificando i vettori assiali e gli pseudoscalari con tensori antisimmetrici a 3 e 4 componenti in uno spazio-tempo di dimensioni arbitrarie, si scopre una nuova legge di $$\partial [_{K\bar \psi } \Gamma _L \Gamma _M \Gamma _{N]} = $$ $$ = 2mi\bar \psi \Gamma _{[K} \Gamma _L \Gamma _M \Gamma _{N]} \psi - \frac{1}{5}i\bar \psi (\overleftrightarrow {i\partial }^J + 2eA^J )\Gamma _{[J} \Gamma _K \Gamma _L \Gamma _M \Gamma _{N]} \psi = $$ , in cui il termine addizionale a destra non esiste in 4 dimensioni. Tuttavia, quando si scende a 4 dimensioni dopo la regolarizzazione dimensionale, esso è precisamente l'anomalia vettoriale assiale. In un calcolo parallelo si è anche mostrato come ottenere l'anomalia negli elementi di matrice della traccia del tensore di sforzo.РезюмеИдентифицируя аксиальные векторы и псевдоскалры как антисимметричные трех-компонентные и четырех-компонентные тензоры в пространствевремени произвольного числа измерений, мы приходим к новому закону РСАС: $$\partial [_{K\bar \psi } \Gamma _L \Gamma _M \Gamma _{N]} = $$ $$ = 2mi\bar \psi \Gamma _{[K} \Gamma _L \Gamma _M \Gamma _{N]} \psi - \frac{1}{5}i\bar \psi (\overleftrightarrow {i\partial }^J + 2eA^J )\Gamma _{[J} \Gamma _K \Gamma _L \Gamma _M \Gamma _{N]} \psi = $$ , где дополнительный член справа не существует в четырехмерном случае. Однако когда мы спускаемся до четырех измерений после размерной регуляризации, получается в точности аксиальная векторная аномалия. При параллельном вычислении мы также показываем, как возникает аномалия в матричных элементах для шпура тензора напряжений.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
