An Outline of the Grand Unified Theory of Gauge Fields

This paper attempts to propose a grand unified guiding principle of gauge fields from the mathematical and physical picture of fiber bundles: it is believed that our universe may have more fundamental interactions than the four fundamental interactions, and the gauge fields of these fundamental interactions are just a unified gauge potential on the fiber bundle manifold or the components connected to the bottom manifold, that is, our universe;these components can meet the transformation of gauge potential, and even can be transformed from a fundamental interaction gauge potential to another fundamental interaction gauge potential, and can be summarized into a unified equation, namely the expression of the generalized gauge equation, corresponding to the gauge transformation invariance;so gauge transformation invariance is a necessary condition to unify field theory, but quantization of field is not a necessary condition;the four (or more) fundamental interaction fields of the universe are unified into a universal gauge field defined by the connection of the principal fiber bundle on the cosmic base manifold.

Unification of Gravitational and Electromagnetic Fields Using Gauge Symmetry

A new method for the unification of gravitational and electromagnetic forces is proposed. Previously, Kaluza-Klein theory dealt with the unification, but it has not yet been established as a complete theory. The main reason for this is that Kaluza-Klein theory has various contradictions due to the use of a 5-dimensional metric tensor. In this paper, unlike the conventional method, various equations related to gravitational and electromagnetic force are derived without any contradiction by processing equations having gauge symmetry within a 4-dimensional range. In this process, we propose that Maxwell’s equations for the electromagnetic force are expressed more simply and implicitly than the existing tensor form. Using the gauge symmetry, it shows that electromagnetic force can exist in single metric tensor along with gravity. In addition, since geodesic equations can be derived in the form of coordinate transformation, it has been shown that they are consistent with the existing equations. As a result, it has shown that they are consistent with the existing physical equations without contradiction.

Comparative study on atomic ionization in bicircular laser fields by length and velocity gauges S-matrix theory

Ionization of atoms in counter-rotating and co-rotating bicircular laser fields is studied using the S-matrix theory in both length and velocity gauges.We show that for both the bicircular fields,ionization rates are enhanced when the two circularly polarized lights have comparable intensities.In addition,the curves of ionization rate versus the field amplitude ratio of the two colors for counter-rotating and co-rotating fields coincide with each other in the length gauge case at the total laser intensity 5×10^14 W/cm^2,which agrees with the experimental observation.Moreover,the degree of the coincidence between the ionization rate curves of the two bicircular fields decreases with the increasing field amplitude ratio and decreasing total laser intensity.With the help of the ADK theory,the above characteristics of the ionization rate curves can be well interpreted,which is related to the transition from the tunneling to multiphoton ionization mechanism.

INFINITESIMAL GAUGE OPERATORS FOR PSEUDOSCALAR FIELDS

This paper derives explicit expressions of the infinitesimal gauge operators for pseudoscalalr fields in a gauge theory coupling vector and axial-vector fields with the aid of the method of operator algebra. The gauge operators of the coset pure gauge fields theory under the chiral group SU(N) X SU(N) are also obtainede.

Quench dynamics of ultracold atoms in one-dimensional optical lattices with artificial gauge fields

We study the quench dynamics of noninteracting ultracold atoms loaded in one-dimensional （1D） optical lattices with artificial gauge fields, which are modeled by lattices with complex hopping coefficients. After suddenly changing the hopping coefficient, time evolutions of the density distribution, momentum distribution, and mass current at the center are studied for both finite uniform systems and trapped systems. Effects of filling factor, system size, statistics, harmonic trap, and phase difference in hopping are identified, and some interesting phenomena show up. For example, for a finite uniform fermionic system shock and rarefaction wave plateaus are formed at two ends, whose wave fronts move linearly with speed equaling to the maximal absolute group velocity. While for a finite uniform bosonic system the whole density distribution moves linearly at the group velocity. Only in a finite uniform fermionic system there can be a constant quasi- steady-state current, whose amplitude is decided by the phase difference and filling factor. The quench dynamics can be tested in ultracold atoms with minimal modifications of available experimental techniques, and it is a very interesting and fundamental example of the transport phenomena and the nonequilibrium dynamics.

Inverse scattering method and soliton solution family for the Einstein-Maxwell theory with multiple Abelian gauge fields

A Hauser-Ernst-type extended hyperbolic complex linear system given in our previous paper [Gao Y J 2004 Chin. Phys. 13 602] is slightly modified and used to develop a new inverse scattering method for the stationary axisymmetric Einstein-Maxwell theory with multiple Abelian gauge fields. The reduction procedures in this inverse scattering method are found to be fairly simple, which makes the inverse scattering method be fine and effective in practical application. As an example, a concrete family of soliton solutions for the considered theory is obtained.

Topological Lifshitz transition and novel edge states induced by non-Abelian SU(2)gauge field on bilayer honeycomb lattice

We investigate the SU(2)gauge effects on bilayer honeycomb lattice thoroughly.We discover a topological Lifshitz transition induced by the non-Abelian gauge potential.Topological Lifshitz transitions are determined by topologies of Fermi surfaces in the momentum space.Fermi surface consists of N=8 Dirac points atπ-flux point instead of N=4 in the trivial Abelian regimes.A local winding number is defined to classify the universality class of the gapless excitations.We also obtain the phase diagram of gauge fluxes by solving the secular equation.Furthermore,the novel edge states of biased bilayer nanoribbon with gauge fluxes are also investigated.

ELECTRICALLY CHARGED SOLITONS IN GAUGE FIELD THEORY

Monopoles and vortices are well known magnetically charged soliton solutions of gauge field equations. Extending the idea of Dirac on monopoles, Schwinger pioneered the concept of solitons carrying both electric and magnetic charges, called dyons, which are useful in modeling elementary particles. Mathematically, the existence of dyons presents interesting variational partial differential equation problems, subject to topological constraints. This article is a survey on recent progress in the study of dyons.

Unification of Non-Abelian SU(N) Gauge Theory and Gravitational Gauge Theory

In this paper, a general theory on unification of non-Abelian SU(N) gauge interactions and gravitationalinteractions is discussed. SU(N) gauge interactions and gravitational interactions are formulated on the similar basisand are unified in a semi-direct product group GSU(N). Based on this model, we can discuss unification of fundamentalinteractions of Nature.

Supersymmetric U(1) Gauge Field Theory with Massive Gauge Field

A new mechanism to introduce the mass of gauge field in supersymmetric gauge theory is discussed. The model has the strict local gauge symmetry and supersymmetry. Because we introduce two vector superfields simultaneously, the model contains a massive gauge field as well as a massless gauge field.

New Mechanism for Mass Generation of Gauge Field

A new mechanism for mass generation of gauge field is discussed in this paper. By introducing two sets of gauge fields and making the variations of these two sets of gauge fields compensated each other under local gauge transformations, the mass term of gauge fields is introduced into the Lagrangian without violating the local gauge symmetry of the Lagrangian. This model is a renormalizable quantum model.

Vacuum-Induced Abelian and Non-Abelian Gauge Potentials in Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

Gauge potential plays an important role in exploring exotic phenomena in the single- and many-body quantum systems.In this paper,we propose a scheme to create both new Abelian and non-Abelian gauge potentials by adiabatically controlling the degenerate Dicke model in cavity quantum electrodynamics.It is shown that a non-Abelian gauge potential is achieved only for a single atom,whereas an Abelianizen diagonal gauge potential is realized for the atomic ensemble.More importantly,two interesting quantum phenomena such as the geometric phase and the magnetic monopole induced by our created gauge potentials are also predicted.The possible physical realization is presented in the macroscopic circuit quantum electrodynamics with the Cooper pair boxes,which act as the artificial two-level atoms controlled by the gate voltage and the external magnetic flux.

Gravitational Gauge Interactions of Dirac Field

Gravitational interactions of Dirac field are studied in this paper. Based on gauge principle, quantum gauge theory of gravity, which is perturbatively renormalizable, is formulated in the Minkowski space-time. In quantum gauge theory of gravity, gravity is treated as a kind of fundamental interactions, which is transmitted by gravitational gauge field, and Dirac field couples to gravitational field through gravitational gauge covariant derivative. Based on this theory, we can easily explain gravitational phase effect, which has already been detected by COW experiment.

Strong Energy Condition of Simple Gauge Field System

An investigation is carried out for the violation of the strong energy condition by a generic field system consisting of charged scalar boson condensate,fermions,and U(1)gauge field.The Bose-Einstein condensation of the system is also studied by the Hamiltonian formulation.It is found that the strong energy condition can be violated by this quantum field system at high densities.

Gauge Gravitational Field in a Fractal Space-Time

Considering the fractal structure of space-time, the scale relativity theory in the topological dimension DT = 2 is built. In such a conjecture, the geodesics of this space-time imply the hydrodynamic model of the quantum mechanics. Subsequently, the gauge gravitational field on a fractal space-time is given. Then, the gauge group, the gauge-covariant derivative, the strength tensor of the gauge field, the gauge-invariant Lagrangean, the field equations of the gauge potentials and the gauge energy-momentum tensor are determined. Finally, using this model, a Reissner- Nordstrom type metric is obtained.

Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis Effective Potential for Quark Propagator in Real-Time Thermal Field Theory and Landau Gauge

We complete the derivation of the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective potentiM for quark propagator at finite temperature and finite quark chemical potential in the real-time formalism of thermal field theory and in Landau gauge. In the approximation that the function A（p^2） in inverse quark propagator is replaced by unity, by means of the running gauge coupling and the quark mass function invariant under the renormalization group in zero temperature Quantum Chromadynamics （QCD）, we obtain a calculable expression for the thermal effective potential, which will be a useful means to research chiral phase transition in QCD in the real-time formalism.

Theoretical Maxwell's Equations, Gauge Field and Their Universality Based on One Conservation Law

The notion of the inner product of vectors is extended to tensors of different orders, which may replace the vector product usually. The essences of the differential and the codiffcrential forms are pointed out： they represent the tangent surface and the normal surface fluxes of a tensor, reslpetivcly. The definitions of the divergence and the curl of a 2D surface flux of a tensor arc obtained. Maxwell＇s equations, namely, the constraction law of field, which were usually established based on two conservation laws of electric charge and imaginary magnetic charge, are derived by the author only by using one conservation law （ mass or fluid flux quantity and so on） and the feature of central field （or its composition）. By the feature of central field （or its composition）, the curl of 2D flux is zero. Both universality of gauge field and the difficulty of magnetic monopole theory （ a magnetic monopole has no effect on electric current just like a couple hasing no effect on the sum of forces） axe presented： magnetic monopole has no the feature of magnet. Finally it is pointed out that the base of relation of mass and energy is already involved in Maxwell＇s equations.

Equation of Motion of a Mass Point in Gravitational Field and Classical Tests of Gauge Theory of Gravity

A systematic method is developed to studY the classical motion of a mass point in gravitational gauge field. First, by using Mathematica, a spherical symmetric solution of the field equation of gravitational gauge field is obtained, which is just the traditional Schwarzschild solution. Combining the principle of gauge covariance and Newton＇s second law of motion, the equation of motion of a mass point in gravitational field is deduced. Based on the spherical symmetric solution of the field equation and the equation of motion of a mass point in gravitational field, we can discuss classical tests of gauge theory of gravity, including the deflection of light by the sun, the precession of the perihelia of the orbits of the inner planets and the time delay of radar echoes passing the sun. It is found that the theoretical predictions of these classical tests given by gauge theory of gravity are completely the same as those given by general relativity.

The Gravity Gauge Theory and Gravity Field Equation in Flat Space

In this paper, we have proposed the theory of gravity gauge, and the gravity theory has been introduced into quantum field theory. We have further given the tensor equation of gravity field in the flat space, and found the gravity field equation is the Lorentz covariant and gauge invariant. The gravity theory can be quantized and can be unified with the electroweak and strong interaction at a new gauge group .

Instant-Form and Light-Front Hamiltonian and Path Integral Formulations of the Conformally Gauge-Fixed Polyakov D1-Brane Action in the Presence of a Scalar Axion Field and an <i>U</i>(1) Gauge Field

Recently we have studied the instant-form quantization (IFQ) and the light-front quantization (LFQ) of the conformally gauge-fixed Polyakov D1 brane action using the Hamiltonian and path integral formulations. The IFQ is studied in the equal world-sheet time framework on the hyperplanes defined by the world-sheet time σ0=τ=constant and the LFQ in the equal light-cone world-sheet time framework, on the hyperplanes of the light-front defined by the light-cone world-sheet time σ+= (τ+σ) =constant. The light-front theory is seen to be a constrained system in the sense of Dirac in contrast to the instant-form theory. However, owing to the gauge anomalous nature of these theories, both of these theories are seen to lack the usual string gauge symmetries defined by the world-sheet reparametrization invariance (WSRI) and the Weyl invariance (WI). In the present work we show that these theories when considered in the presence of background gauge fields such as the NSNS 2-form gauge field Bαβ(σ,τ) or in the presence of U(1) gauge field Aα(σ,τ) and the constant scalar axion field C(σ,τ), then they are seen to possess the usual string gauge symmetries (WSRI and WI). In fact, these background gauge fields are seen to behave as the Wess-Zumino or Stueckelberg fields and the terms containing these fields are seen to behave as Wess-Zumino or Stueckelberg terms for these theories.
