A generalized Heisenberg-Euler formula is given for an Abelian gauge theory having vector as well as axial vector couplings to a massive fermion. So, the formula is applicable to a parity-violating theory. The gauge group is chosen to be $U(1)$. The formula is quite similar to that in quantum electrodynamics, but there is a complexity in which one factor (related to spin) is expressed in terms of the expectation value. The expectation value is evaluated by the contraction with the one-dimensional propagator in a given background field. The formula affords a basis to the vacuum magnetic birefringence experiment, which aims to probe the dark sector, where the interactions of the light fermions with the gauge fields are not necessarily parity conserving.
Gauge field theory with rank-one field $T_{mu}$ is a quantum field theory that describes the interaction of elementary spin-1 particles, of which being massless to preserve gauge symmetry. In this paper, we give a generalized, extended study of abelian gauge field theory under successive rotor model in general $D$-dimensional flat spacetime for spin-1 particles in the context of higher order derivatives. We establish a theorem that $n$ rotor contributes to the $Box^n T^{mu}$ fields in the integration-by-parts formalism of the action. This corresponds to the transformation of gauge field $T^{mu} rightarrow Box^n T^{mu}$ and gauge field strength $G_{mu u}rightarrow Box^n G_{mu u} $ in the action. The $n=0$ case restores back to the standard abelian gauge field theory. The equation of motion and Noethers conserved current of the theory are also studied.
We construct chiral theories with the smallest number $n_chi$ of Weyl fermions that form an anomaly-free set under various Abelian gauge groups. For the $U(1)$ group, where $n_chi = 5$, we show that the general solution to the anomaly equations is a set of charges given by cubic polynomials in three integer parameters. For the $U(1) times U(1)$ gauge group we find $n_chi = 6$, and derive the general solution to the anomaly equations, in terms of 6 parameters. For $U(1) times U(1) times U(1)$ we show that $n_chi = 8$, and present some families of solutions. These chiral gauge theories have potential applications to dark matter models, right-handed neutrino interactions, and other extensions of the Standard Model. As an example, we present a simple dark sector with a natural mass hierarchy between three dark matter components.
A kinetic mixing term, which generalizes the duality symmetry of Dirac, is studied in a theory with two photons (visible and hidden). This theory can be either CP conserving or CP violating depending on the transformation of fields in the hidden sector. However if CP is violated, it necessarily occurs in the hidden sector. This opens up an interesting possibility of new sources of CP violation.
We present the derivation of conserved tensors associated to higher-order symmetries in the higher derivative Maxwell Abelian gauge field theories. In our model, the wave operator of the higher derived theory is a $n$-th order polynomial expressed in terms of the usual Maxwell operator. Any symmetry of the primary wave operator gives rise to a collection of independent higher-order symmetries of the field equations which thus leads to a series of independent conserved quantities of derived system. In particular, by the extension of Noethers theorem, the spacetime translation invariance of the Maxwell primary operator results in the series of conserved second-rank tensors which includes the standard canonical energy-momentum tensors. Although this canonical energy is unbounded from below, by introducing a set of parameters, the other conserved tensors in the series can be bounded which ensure the stability of the higher derivative dynamics. In addition, with the aid of auxiliary fields, we successfully obtain the relations between the roots decomposition of characteristic polynomial of the wave operator and the conserved energy-momentum tensors within the context of another equivalent lower-order representation. Under the certain conditions, the 00-component of the linear combination of these conserved quantities is bounded and by this reason, the original derived theory is considered stable. Finally, as an instructive example, we discuss the third-order derived system and analyze extensively the stabilities in different cases of roots decomposition.
We perform the Monte Carlo study of the SU(3) non-Abelian Higgs model. We discuss phase structure and non-Abelian vortices by gauge invariant operators. External magnetic fields induce non-Abelian vortices in the color-flavor locked phase. The spatial distribution of non-Abelian vortices suggests the repulsive vortex-vortex interaction.
