There has been some controversies at the large $N$ behaviour of the 2D Yang-Mills and chiral 2D Yang-Mills theories. To be more specific, is there a one parameter family of minima of the free energy in the strong region, or the minimum is unique. We show that there is a missed equation which, added to the known equations, makes the minimum unique.
Using the path integral method, we calculate the partition function and the generating functional (of the field strengths) of the generalized 2D Yang-Mills theories in the Schwinger--Fock gauge. Our calculation is done for arbitrary 2D orientable, and also nonorientable surfaces.
Based on the technique of derivation of a theory, presented in our recent paper, we investigate the properties of the derived quantum system. We show that the derived quantum system possesses the (nonanomalous) symmetries of the original one, and prove that the exact Green functions of the derived theory are expressed in terms of the semiclassically approximated Green functions of the original theory.
By using the path integral method , we calculate the Green functions of field strength of Yang-Mills theories on arbitrary nonorientable surfaces in Schwinger-Fock gauge. We show that the non-gauge invariant correlators consist of a free part and an almost $x$-independent part. We also show that the gauge invariant $n$-point functions are those corresponding to the free part , as in the case of orientable surfaces.
Using the simple path integral method we calculate the $n$-point functions of field strength of Yang-Mills theories on arbitrary two-dimensional Riemann surfaces. In $U(1)$ case we show that the correlators consist of two parts , a free and an $x$-independent part. In the case of non-abelian semisimple compact gauge groups we find the non-gauge invariant correlators in Schwinger-Fock gauge and show that it is also divided to a free and an almost $x$-independent part. We also find the gauge-invariant Green functions and show that they correspond to a free field theory.
We find the Laughlin states of the electrons on the Poincare half-plane in different representations. In each case we show that there exist a quantum group $su_q(2)$ symmetry such that the Laughlin states are a representation of it. We calculate the corresponding filling factor by using the plasma analogy of the FQHE.
The transformation of the $SL(2,R)/U(1)$ black hole under a boost of the subgroup U(1) is studied. It is found that the tachyon vertex operators of the black hole go into those of the $c=1$ conformal field theory coupled to gravity. The discrete states of the black hole also tend to the discrete states of the 2-d gravity theory. The fate of the extra discrete states of the black hole under boost are discussed.
After showing that the magnetic translation operators are not the symmetries of the QHE on non-flat surfaces , we show that there exist another set of operators which leads to the quantum group symmetries for some of these surfaces . As a first example we show that the $su(2)$ symmetry of the QHE on sphere leads to $su_q(2)$ algebra in the equator . We explain this result by a contraction of $su(2)$ . Secondly , with the help of the symmetry operators of QHE on the Pioncare upper half plane , we will show that the ground state wave functions form a representation of the $su_q(2)$ algebra .
By boosting the vertex operators of Witten's $SL(2,R)/U(1)$ black hole, we show that in the region V they lead to the primary fields of $c=1$ matter coupled to gravity at nonzero cosmological constant, while there is no such correspondence in the region I, showing that Witten's black hole corresponds to $2d$ gravity only in a certain region and in a specific limit. By using the free field representation , we will show that the stress tensor of $SL(2,R)$ gauged by its nilpotent subgroup is equivalent to that of the Liouville theory with zero cosmological constant.
We consider the gauging of $ SL(2,R) $ WZNW model by its nilpotent subgroup E(1). The resulting space-time of the corresponding sigma model is seen to collapse to a one dimensional field theory of Liouville. Gauging the diagonal subgroup $ E(1) \times U(1) $ of $SL(2,R) \times U(1)$ theory yields an extremal three dimensional black string. We show that these solutions are obtained from the two dimensional black hole of Witten and the three dimensional black string of Horne and Horowitz by boosting the gauge group.
