Using the idea of the quantum inverse scattering method, we introduce the operators $mathbf{B}(x), mathbf{C}(x)$ and $mathbf{tilde{B}}(x), mathbf{tilde{C}}(x)$ corresponding to the off-diagonal entries of the monodromy matrix $T$ for the phase model and $i$-boson model in terms of bc fermions and neutral fermions respectively, thus giving alternative treatment of the KP and BKP hierarchies. We also introduce analogous operators $mathbf{B}^{*}(x)$ and $mathbf{C}^{*}(x)$ for the charged free boson system and show that they are in complete analogy to those of $bc$ fermionic fields. It is proved that the correlation function $langle 0|mathbf{C}(x_N)cdotsmathbf{C}(x_1)mathbf{B}(y_1)cdots $ $mathbf{B}(y_N)|0rangle$ in the $bc$ fermionic fields is the inverse of the correlation function $langle 0|mathbf{C}^{*}(x_N)cdotsmathbf{C}^{*}(x_1)mathbf{B}^{*}(y_1)cdots mathbf{B}^{*}(y_N)|0rangle$ in the charged free bosons.
When a quantum field theory possesses topological excitations in a phase with spontaneously broken symmetry, these are created by operators which are non-local with respect to the order parameter. Due to non-locality, such disorder operators have non-trivial correlation functions even in free massive theories. In two dimensions, these correlators can be expressed exactly in terms of solutions of non-linear differential equations. The correlation functions of the one-parameter family of non-local operators in the free charged bosonic and fermionic models are the inverse of each other. We point out a simple derivation of this correspondence within the form factor approach
The classification and lattice model construction of symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases in interacting fermion systems are very interesting but challenging. In this paper, we give a systematic fixed point wave function construction of fermionic SPT (FSPT) states for generic fermionic symmetry group $G_f=mathbb{Z}_2^f times_{omega_2} G_b$ which is a central extension of bosonic symmetry group $G_b$ (may contain time reversal symmetry) by the fermion parity symmetry group $mathbb{Z}_2^f = {1,P_f}$. Our construction is based on the concept of equivalence class of finite depth fermionic symmetric local unitary (FSLU) transformations and decorating symmetry domain wall picture, subjected to certain obstructions. We will also discuss the systematical construction and classification of boundary anomalous SPT (ASPT) states which leads to a trivialization of the corresponding bulk FSPT states. Thus, we conjecture that the obstruction-free and trivialization-free constructions naturally lead to a classification of FSPT phases. Each fixed-point wave function admits an exactly solvable commuting-projector Hamiltonian. We believe that our classification scheme can be generalized to point/space group symmetry as well as continuum Lie group symmetry.
The boson and fermion particle masses are calculated in a finite quantum field theory. The field theory satisfies Poincare invariance, unitarity and microscopic causality, and all loop graphs are finite to all orders of perturbation theory. The infinite derivative nonlocal field interactions are regularized with a mass (length) scale parameter $Lambda_i$. The $W$, $Z$ and Higgs boson masses are calculated from finite one-loop self-energy graphs. The $W^{pm}$ mass is predicted to be $M_W=80.05$ GeV, and the higher order radiative corrections to the Higgs boson mass $m_H=125$ GeV are damped out above the regulating mass scale parameter $Lambda_H=1.57$ TeV. The three generations of quark and lepton masses are calculated from finite one-loop self-interactions, and there is an exponential spacing in mass between the quarks and leptons.
We study the convergence of inner products of free fields over the homogeneous spaces of the de Sitter group and show that the convergence of inner products in the of $N$-particle states is defined by the asymptotic behavior of hypergeometric functions. We calculate the inner product for two-particle states on the four-dimensional hyperboloid in detail.
We show that the associative algebra structure can be incorporated in the BRST quantization formalism for gauge theories such that extension from the corresponding Lie algebra to the associative algebra is achieved using operator quantization of reducible gauge theories. The BRST differential that encodes the associativity of the algebra multiplication is constructed as a second-order quadratic differential operator on the bar resolution.
