A generic Lagrangian, in arbitrary spacetime dimension, describing the interaction of a graviton, a dilaton and two antisymmetric tensors is considered. An isotropic p-brane solution consisting of three blocks and depending on four parameters in the Lagrangian and two arbitrary harmonic functions is obtained. For specific values of parameters in the Lagrangian the solution may be identified with previously known superstring solutions.
A construction of master field describing multicolour QCD is presented. The master fields for large N matrix theories satisfy to standard equations of relativistic field theory but fields are quantized according $q$-deformed commutation relations with $q=0$. These commutation relations are realized in the Boltzmannian Fock space. The master field for gauge theory does not take values in a finite-dimensional Lie algebra, however, there is a non-Abelian gauge symmetry and BRST-invariance.
A parquet approximation (generalized ladder diagrams) in matrix models is considered. By means of numerical calculations we demonstrate that in the large $N$ limit the parquet approximation gives an excellent agreement with exact results.
Recently it was shown that an asymptotic behaviour of $SU(N)$ gauge theory for large $N$ is described by q-deformed quantum field. The master fields for large N theories satisfy to standard equations of relativistic field theory but fields satisfy $q$-deformed commutation relations with $q=0$. These commutation relations are realized in the Boltzmannian Fock space. The master field for gauge theory does not take values in a finite-dimensional Lie algebra however there is a non-Abelian gauge symmetry. The gauge master field for a subclass of planar diagrams, so called half-planar diagrams, is also considered. A recursive set of master fields summing up a matreoshka of 2-particles reducible planar diagrams is briefly described.
The master fields for the large $N$ limit of matrix models and gauge theory are constructed. The master fields satisfy to standard equations of relativistic field theory but fields are quantized according to a new rule. To define the master field we use the Yang-Feldman equation with a free field quantized in the Boltzmannian Fock space. The master field for gauge theory does not take values in a finite-dimensional Lie algebra however there is a non-Abelian gauge symmetry. For the construction of the master field it is essential to work in Minkowski space-time and to use the Wightman correlation functions. The BRST quantization of the master field for gauge theory and a loop equation are considered.
In recent works by Singer, Douglas and Gopakumar and Gross an application of results of Voiculescu from non-commutative probability theory to constructions of the master field for large $N$ matrix field theories have been suggested. In this note we consider interrelations between the master field and quantum groups. We define the master field algebra and observe that it is isomorphic to the algebra of functions on the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ for $q=0$. The master field becomes a central element of the quantum group Hopf algebra. The quantum Haar measure on the $SU_q(2)$ for any $q$ gives the Wigner semicircle distribution for the master field. Coherent states on $SU_q(2)$ become coherent states in the master field theory.
Starting from string field theory for 2d gravity coupled to c=1 matter we analyze N-point off-shell tree amplitudes of discrete states. The amplitudes exhibit the pole structure and we use the oscillator representation to extract the residues. The residues are generated by a simple effective action. We show that the effective action can be directly deduced from a string field action in a special transversal-like gauge.
The master field for a subclass of planar diagrams, so called rainbow diagrams, for higher dimensional large N theories is considered. An explicit representation for the master field in terms of noncommutative random variables in the modified interaction representation in the Boltzmannian Fock space is given. A natural interaction in the Boltzmannian Fock space is formulated by means of a rational function of the interaction Lagrangian instead of the ordinary exponential function in the standard Fock space.
Recently E.Verlinde and H.Verlinde have suggested an effective two-dimensional theory describing the high-energy scattering in QCD. In this report we attempt to clarify some issues of this suggestion. We consider {\it anisotropic asymptotics} of correlation functions for scalar and gauge theories in four dimensions. Anisotropic asymptotics describe behaviour of correlation functions when some components of coordinates are large as compare with others components. It is occurred that (2+2) anisotropic asymptotics for 4-points functions are related with the well known Regge regime of scattering amplitudes. We study an expansion of correlation functions with respect to the rescaling parameter $λ$ over a part of variables (anisotropic $λ$-expansion). An effective theory describing the anisotropic limit of free scalar field contains two 2 dim conformal theories. One of them is a conformal theory in configuration space and another one is a conformal theory in momentum space. In some special cases ,in particular for the Wilson line correlators in gauge theories, the leading term of the anisotropic expansion involves only one of the conformal theories and it can be described by an effective theory with an action being a dimensional reduction of the original action.
In a series of papers Amati, Ciafaloni and Veneziano and 't Hooft conjectured that black holes occur in the collision of two light particles at planckian energies. In this paper we discuss a possible scenario for such a process by using the Chandrasekhar-Ferrari-Xanthopoulos duality between the Kerr black hole solution and colliding plane gravitational waves. We clarify issues arising in the definition of transition amplitude from a quantum state containing only usual matter without black holes to a state containing black holes. Collision of two plane gravitational waves producing a space-time region which is locally isometric to an interior of black hole solution is considered. The phase of the transition amplitude from plane waves to white and black hole is calculated by using the Fabbrichesi, Pettorino, Veneziano and Vilkovisky approach. An alternative extension beyond the horizon in which the space-time again splits into two separating gravitational waves is also discussed. Such a process is interpreted as the scattering of plane gravitational waves through creation of virtual black and white holes.
The aim of this lecture is to give a pedagogical explanation of the notion of a Poisson Lie structure on the external algebra of a Poisson Lie group which was introduced in our previous papers. Using this notion as a guide we construct quantum external algebras on $SL_q(N)$ with proper (classical) dimension.
All possible graded Poisson-Lie structures on the external algebra of $SL(2)$ are described. We prove that differential Poisson-Lie structures prolonging the Sklyanin brackets do not exist on $SL(2)$. There are two and only two graded Poisson-Lie structures on $SL (2)$ and neither of them can be obtained by a reduction of graded Poisson-Lie structures on the external algebra of $GL(2)$. Both of them can be quantized and as a result we get a new graded algebra of quantum right-invariant forms on $SL_q(2)$ with three generators.
We study the Regge regime of QCD as a special regime of lattice gauge theory on an asymmetric lattice. This lattice has a spacing $a_0 $ in the longitudinal direction and a spacing $a_t $ in the transversal direction. The limit $\frac{a_{0}}{a_{t}} \to 0$ corresponds to correlation functions with small longitudinal and large transversal coordinates, i.e. large $s$ and small $t$. On this lattice the longitudinal dynamics is described by the usual two-dimensional chiral field in finite volume and the transversal dynamics is emerged through an effective interaction of boundary terms of the longitudinal dynamics. The effective interaction depends crucially on the spectrum of the two-dimensional chiral field. Massless exitations produce an effective 2-dimensional action which is different from the action recently proposed by H.Verlinde and E.Verlinde. Massive exitations give raise to an effective action located on the contour in the longitudinal plane.
Coherent states on the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ are defined by using harmonic analysis and representation theory of the algebra of functions on the quantum group. Semiclassical limit $q\rightarrow 1$ is discussed and the crucial role of special states on the quantum algebra in an investigation of the semiclassical limit is emphasized. An approach to $q$-deformation as a $q$-Weyl quantization and a relavence of contact geometry in this context is pointed out. Dynamics on the quantum group parametrized by a real time variable and corresponding to classical rotations is considered.
To construct a quantum group gauge theory one needs an algebra which is invariant under gauge transformations. The existence of this invariant algebra is closely related with the existence of a differential algebra $δ_{\cal H} G_{q}$ compatible with the Hopf algebra structure. It is shown that $δ_{\cal H} G_{q}$ exists only for the quantum group $U_{q}(N)$ and that the quantum group $SU_q(N)$ as a quantum gauge group is not allowed. The representations of the algebra $δ_{\cal H} G_{q}$ are con- structed. The operators corresponding to the differentials are realized via derivations on the space of all irreducible *-representations of $U_q(2)$. With the help of this construction infinitesimal gauge transformations in two-dimensional classical space-time are described.
Different aspects of the Verlinde and Verlinde relation between high-energy effective scattering in QCD and a two-dimensional sigma-model are discussed. Starting from a lattice version of the truncated 4-dimensional Yang-Mills action we derive an effective theory with non-trivial longitudinal dynamics which has a form of the lattice two-dimensional chiral field model with non-trivial boundary conditions. To get quantum corrections coming from non-trivial longitudinal dynamics to transversal high-energy effective action one has to solve the two-dimensional chiral field model with non-trivial boundary conditions. We do this within an approximation scheme which takes into account one-dimensional excitations. Contributions of the one-dimensional excitations to quantum corrections for the high-energy effective action are calculated in the large N limit using the character expansion method.
To study the behavior of the Kazakov-Migdal at large N the quenched momentum prescription with constraints for treating the large N limit of gauge theories is used. It is noted that it leads to a quartic dependence of an action on unitary matrix instead of a quadratic dependence discussed in previous considerations. Therefore the model is not exactly solvable in the weak coupling limit. An approximation procedure for investigation of the model is outlined. In this approximation an indication to a phase transition for $d<4,8$ with $β_{cr}=\frac{1}{d-4,8}$ is obtained.
A simple lattice model inducing a gauge theory is considered. The model describes an interaction of a gauge field to an $N\times N$ complex matrix scalar field transforming as a field in the fundamental representation. In contrast to the Kazakov-Migdal model the model contains only the linear interaction between scalar and gauge lattice fields. This model does not suffer from extra local U(1) symmetries. In an approximation of a translation invariant master field the large N limit of the model is investigated. At large N the gauge fields can be integrated out yielding an effective theory describing an interaction of eigenvalues of the master field. The reduced model exhibits phase transitions at the points $β_{\bar {cr}}$ and $β_{\underline{cr}}$ and the region $(β_{\bar{cr}}, β_{\underline{cr}})$ separates the strong and weak regions of the model. To study the behaviour of the model at large $N$ in more systematic way the quenched momentum prescription with constraints for treating the large N limit of gauge theories is used. With the help of the technique of orthogonal polynomials nonlinear equations describing the large N limit of the reduced model {\it with quenching} are presented.
