On the Cancellation Mechanism of Radiation from the Unruh detector

A uniformly accelerated detector (Unruh detector) in the Minkowski vacuum is excited as if it is exposed to the thermal bath with temperature proportional to its acceleration. In the inertial frame, since both of an excitation and a deexcitation of the detector are accompanied by emission of radiation into the Minkowski vacuum, one may suspect that the Unruh detector emits radiation like the Larmor radiation from an accelerated charged particle. However, it is known that the radiation is miraculously cancelled by a quantum interference effect. In this paper, we investigate under what condition the radiation cancels out. We first show that the cancellation occurs if the Green function satisfies a relation similar to the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) condition. We then study two examples, Unruh detectors in the 3+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime and in the de Sitter spacetime. In both cases, the relation holds only in a restricted region of the spacetime, but the radiation is cancelled in the whole spacetime. Hence the KMS-like relation is necessary but not sufficient for the cancellation to occur.

Orbifold Matrix Model

We study a matrix model describing type IIB superstring in orbifold backgrounds. We particularly consider a {\bf C}^3/{\bf Z}_3 orbifold model whose six dimensional transverse space is orbifolded by {\bf Z}_3 discrete symmetry. This model is chiral and has d=4 {\cal N}=1 supersymmetry of Yang-Mills type as well as an inhomogeneous supersymmetry specific to matrix models. We calculate one-loop effective action around some backgrounds, and the result can be interpreted as interactions mediated by massless particles in IIB supergravity in orbifold background, if the background is in the Higgs branch. If the background is in the Coulomb branch, the dynamics is governed by the reduced model of d=4 super Yang-Mills theory, which might be interpreted as exchange of massless particles in the twisted sector. But the perturbative calculation cannot reproduce the supergravity result. We also show that this model with a large Higgs vacuum expectation value becomes IIB (IKKT) matrix model.

Noncommutative Gauge Theory on Fuzzy Sphere from Matrix Model

We derive a noncommutative U(1) and U(n) gauge theory on the fuzzy sphere from a three dimensional matrix model by expanding the model around a classical solution of the fuzzy sphere. Chern-Simons term is added in the matrix model to make the fuzzy sphere as a classical solution of the model. Majorana mass term is also added to make it supersymmetric. We consider two large $N$ limits, one corresponding to a gauge theory on a commutative sphere and the other to that on a noncommutative plane. We also investigate stability of the fuzzy sphere by calculating one-loop effective action around classical solutions. In the final part of this paper, we consider another matrix model which gives a supersymmetric gauge theory on the fuzzy sphere. In this matrix model, only Chern-Simons term is added and supersymmetry transformation is modified.

String Scale in Noncommutative Yang-Mills

We identify the effective string scale of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory (NCYM) with the noncommutativity scale through its dual supergravity description. We argue that Newton's force law may be obtained with 4 dimensional NCYM with maximal SUSY. It provides a nonperturbative compactification mechanism of IIB matrix model. We can associate NCYM with the von Neumann lattice by the bi-local representation. We argue that it is superstring theory on the von Neumann lattice. We show that our identification of its effective string scale is consistent with exact T-duality (Morita equivalence) of NCYM.

Noncommutative Yang-Mills in IIB Matrix Model

We show that twisted reduced models can be interpreted as noncommutative Yang-Mills theory. Based upon this correspondence, we obtain noncommutative Yang-Mills theory with D-brane backgrounds in IIB matrix model. We propose that IIB matrix model with D-brane backgrounds serve as a concrete definition of noncommutative Yang-Mills. We investigate D-instanton solutions as local excitations on D3-branes. When instantons overlap, their interaction can be well described in gauge theory and AdS/CFT correspondence. We show that IIB matrix model gives us the consistent potential with IIB supergravity when they are well separated.

IIB Matrix Model

We review our proposal for a constructive definition of superstring, type IIB matrix model. The IIB matrix model is a manifestly covariant model for space-time and matter which possesses N=2 supersymmetry in ten dimensions. We refine our arguments to reproduce string perturbation theory based on the loop equations. We emphasize that the space-time is dynamically determined from the eigenvalue distributions of the matrices. We also explain how matter, gauge fields and gravitation appear as fluctuations around dynamically determined space-time.

Space-Time and Matter in IIB Matrix Model - gauge symmetry and diffeomorphism -

We pursue the study of the type IIB matrix model as a constructive definition of superstring. In this paper, we justify the interpretation of space-time as distribution of eigenvalues of the matrices by showing that some low energy excitations indeed propagate in it. In particular, we show that if the distribution consists of small clusters of size $n$, low energy theory acquires local SU(n) gauge symmetry and a plaquette action for the associated gauge boson is induced, in addition to a gauge invariant kinetic term for a massless fermion in the adjoint representation of the SU(n). We finally argue a possible identification of the diffeomorphism symmetry with permutation group acting on the set of eigenvalues, and show that the general covariance is realized in the low energy effective theory even though we do not have a manifest general covariance in the IIB matrix model action.

Space-Time Structures from IIB Matrix Model

We derive a long distance effective action for space-time coordinates from a IIB matrix model. It provides us an effective tool to study the structures of space-time. We prove the finiteness of the theory for finite $N$ to all orders of the perturbation theory. Space-time is shown to be inseparable and its dimensionality is dynamically determined. The IIB matrix model contains a mechanism to ensure the vanishing cosmological constant which does not rely on the manifest supersymmetry. We discuss possible mechanisms to obtain realistic dimensionality and gauge groups from the IIB matrix model.

Aspects of Confinement and Chiral Dynamics in 2-d QED at Finite Temperature

We evaluate the Polyakov loop and string tension at zero and finite temperature in $QED_2.$ Using bozonization the problem is reduced to solving the Schrödinger equation with a particular potential determined by the ground state. In the presence of two sources of opposite charges the vacuum angle parameter $θ$ changes by $2π(q/e)$, independent of the number of flavors. This, in turn, alters the chiral condensate. Particularly, in the one flavor case through a simple computer algorithm, we explore the chiral dynamics of a heavy fermion.

Confinement and Chiral Dynamics in the Multi-flavor Schwinger Model

Two-dimensional QED with $N$ flavor fermions is solved at zero and finite temperature with arbitrary fermion masses to explore QCD physics such as chiral condensate and string tension. The problem is reduced to solving a Schrödinger equation for $N$ degrees of freedom with a specific potential determined by the ground state of the Schrödinger problem itself.

The interplay between mass, volume, θ, and <\psibarψ> in N-flavor QED_2

The Schwinger model (QED_2) with N flavors of massive fermions on a circle of circumference L, or equivalently at finite temperature T, is reduced to a quantum mechanical system of N-1 degrees of freedom. With degenerate fermion masses (m) the chiral condensate develops a cusp singularity at $θ=\pm π$ in the limit L -> $\infty$ or T -> 0, which is removed by a large asymmetry in the fermion masses. Physical quantities sensitively depend on the parameter mL or m/T, and the m -> 0 and L -> $\infty$ (or T -> 0) limits do not commute. A detailed analysis is given for N=3.

The Massive Multi-flavor Schwinger Model

QED with N species of massive fermions on a circle of circumference L is analyzed by bosonization. The problem is reduced to the quantum mechanics of the 2N fermionic and one gauge field zero modes on the circle, with nontrivial interactions induced by the chiral anomaly and fermions masses. The solution is given for N=2 and fermion masses (m) much smaller than the mass of the U(1) boson with mass \mu=\sqrt{2e^2/\pi} when all fermions satisfy the same boundary conditions. We show that the two limits m \go 0 and L \go \infty fail to commute and that the behavior of the theory critically depends on the value of mL|\cos\onehalf\theta| where \theta is the vacuum angle parameter. When the volume is large \mu L \gg 1, the fermion condensate <\psibar \psi> is -(e^{4\gamma} m\mu^2 \cos^4\onehalf\theta/4\pi^3)^{1/3} or $-2e^\gamma m\mu L \cos^2 \onehalf\theta /\pi^2 for mL(\mu L)^{1/2} |\cos\onehalf\theta| \gg 1 or \ll 1, respectively. Its correlation function decays algebraically with a critical exponent \eta=1 when m\cos\onehalf\theta=0.

Collective Field Theory of the Fractional Quantum Hall Edge State and the Calogero-Sutherland Model

\noindent Using hydrodynamic collective field theory approach we show that one-particle density matrix of the $ν=1/m$ fractional quantum Hall edge state interpolates between chiral Luttinger liquid behavior $\langle ψ^{\dagger}(r) ψ(0) \rangle \sim r^{-m} $ and Calogero-Sutherland model behavior $\langle ψ^{\dagger}(r) ψ(0) \rangle \sim r^{-(m+1/m)/2} $ as the droplet width is varied continuously. Low-energy excitations are described by $c=1$ conformal field theory of a compact boson of radius $\sqrt m$. The result suggests complementary relation between the two-dimensional quantum Hall droplet and the one-dimensional Calogero-Sutherland model.

The Effect of Dynamical Gauge Field on the Chiral Fermion on a boundary

We study the effect of dynamical gauge field on the Kaplan's chiral fermion on a boundary in the strong gauge coupling limit in the extra dimension. To all orders of the hopping parameter expansion, we prove exact parity invariance of the fermion propagator on the boundary. This means that the chiral property of the boundary fermion, which seems to survive even in the presence of the gauge field from a perturbative point of view, is completely destroyed by the dynamics of the gauge field.
