We show, in a covariant theory, how to evade fermionic ghosts appearing because of the extra degrees of freedom behind a fermionic nature even in the Lagrangian with first derivatives. We will give a concrete example of a quadratic theory with up to the first derivative of multiple scalar fields and a Weyl fermion. We examine not only the maximally degenerate condition, which makes the number of degrees of freedom correct, but also a supplementary condition guaranteeing that the time evolution takes place properly. We also show that proposed derivative interaction terms between scalar fields and a Weyl fermion cannot be removed by field redefinitions. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.98.044043 I.

    ACFI-T19-08 Unitarity, stability and loops of unstable ghosts John F. Donoghue∗ Department of Physics, University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA 01003, USA Gabriel Menezesy Department of Physics, University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA 01003, USA and Departamento de F´ısica, Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, 23897-000, Serop´edica, RJ, Brazil We present a new understanding of the unstable ghost-like resonance which appears in theories such as quadratic gravity and Lee-Wick type theories. Quantum corrections make this resonance unstable, such that it does not appear in the asymptotic spectrum. We prove that these theories are unitary to all orders. Unitarity is satisfied by the inclusion of only cuts from stable states in the unitarity sum. This removes the need to consider this as a ghost state in the unitarity sum. However, we often use a narrow-width approximation where we do include cuts through unstable states, and ignore cuts through the stable decay products. If we do this with the unstable ghost resonance at one loop, we get the correct answer only by using a contour which was originally defined by Lee and Wick. The quantum effects also provide damping in both the Feynman and the retarded propagators, leading to stability under perturbations. 1. INTRODUCTION Theories such as quadratic gravity [1{19] and Lee-Wick theories [20{28] have propagators which contain both quadratic and quartic momentum dependence. In addition to the pole at q2 = 0, this combination will produce a high mass pole, via 1 1 1 = − : (1) 2 q4 q2 q2 − µ2 q − µ2 The negative sign for the second term implies that this pole is ghost-like, i.e.

ECM, Facultat de F´ısica, Universitat de Barcelona, E-08028, Barcelona, Spain. 5Department of Physics, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-1560. Abstract In this work we outline a program for lattice QCD that would provide a first step toward under- standing the strong and weak interactions of strange baryons. The study of hypernuclear physics has provided a significant amount of information regarding the structure and weak decays of light nuclei containing one or two Λ’s, and Σ’s. From a theoretical standpoint, little is known about the hyperon-nucleon interaction, which is required input for systematic calculations of hypernuclear structure. Furthermore, the long-standing discrepancies in the P wave amplitudes for nonleptonic − hyperon decays remain to be understood, and their resolution is central to a better understanding of the weak decays of hypernuclei. We present a framework that utilizes L¨uscher’s finite-volume techniques in lattice QCD to extract the scattering length and effective range for ΛN scattering in both QCD and partially-quenched QCD. The effective theory describing the nonleptonic decays of hyperons using isospin symmetry alone, appropriate for lattice calculations, is constructed. arXiv:nucl-th/0311027v1 7 Nov 2003 1 I.

  • Three-Point Vertex Functions in Yang-Mills Theory and QCD in Landau Gauge
    EPJ Web of Conferences 137, 03001 (2017) DOI: 10.1051/ epjconf/201713703001 XIIth Quark Confinement & the Hadron Spectrum Three-point vertex functions in Yang-Mills Theory and QCD in Landau gauge Adrian L. Blum1;a, Reinhard Alkofer1;b, Markus Q. Huber1;c, and Andreas Windisch2;d 1Institute of Physics, University of Graz, NAWI Graz, Universitätsplatz 5, 8010 Graz, Austria 2Department of Physics, Washington University, St. Louis, MO, 63130, USA Abstract. Solutions for the three-gluon and quark-gluon vertices from Dyson-Schwinger equations and the three-particle irreducible formalism are discussed. Dynamical quarks (“unquenching”) change the three-gluon vertex via the quark-triangle diagrams which themselves include fully dressed quark-gluon vertex functions. On the other hand, the quark-swordfish diagram is, at least with the model used for the two-quark-two-gluon vertex employed here, of minor importance. For the leading tensor structure of the three- gluon vertex the “unquenching” effect can be summarized for the nonperturbative part as a shift of the related dressing function towards the infrared. 1 Introduction All the information about a quantum field theory is contained in its n-point functions. E.g., once the n-point functions of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) are computed, they can be used in a next step to calculate hadron properties. On the level of three-point functions, especially the three-gluon and quark-gluon vertices are of interest and they have thus been the objectives of many non-perturbative studies in recent years. For instance, in the Landau gauge they have been studied using lattice [1–9] and continuum methods [10–37].

In electron microscopy, such concepts have not yet been explored extensively. For example, inelastic scattering can be reanalyzed in terms of correlations between an electron beam and a sample. Whereas classical inelastic scattering results in a loss of coherence in the electron beam, a joint measurement performed on both the electron beam and the sample excitation could restore the coherence and “lost information.” Here, we propose to exploit joint measurement in electron microscopy to achieve a counterintuitive application of the concept of ghost imaging, which was first proposed in quantum photonics.

In the first part we review the quantization of Yang-Mills theories and perturbative quantum gravity in curved spacetime. In the second part we calculate the Feynman propagators of the Faddeev- Popov ghosts for Yang-Mills theories and perturbative quantum gravity in the covariant gauge. In the third part we investigate the physical equivalence of covariant Wightman graviton two-point function with the physical graviton two-point function. The Feynman propagators of the Faddeev-Popov ghosts for Yang-Mills theories and perturbative quantum gravity in the covariant gauge are infrared (IR) divergent in de Sitter spacetime. We point out, that if we regularize these divergences by introducing a finite mass and take the zero mass limit at the end, then the modes responsible for these divergences will not con- tribute to loop diagrams in computations of time-ordered products in either Yang-Mills theories or perturbative quantum gravity. We thus find effec- tive Feynman propagators for ghosts in Yang-Mills theories and perturbative quantum gravity by subtracting out these divergent modes. It is known that the covariant graviton two-point function in de Sitter spacetime is infrared divergent for some choices of gauge parameters. On the other hand it is also known that there are no infrared problems for the physical graviton two-point function obtained by fixing all gauge degrees of freedom, in global coordinates.

    arXiv:2006.01140 Deconfined criticality and ghost Fermi surfaces at the onset of antiferromagnetism in a metal Ya-Hui Zhang and Subir Sachdev Department of Physics, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA (Dated: July 29, 2020) Abstract We propose a general theoretical framework, using two layers of ancilla qubits, for deconfined criticality between a Fermi liquid with a large Fermi surface, and a pseudogap metal with a small Fermi surface of electron-like quasiparticles. The pseudogap metal can be a magnetically ordered metal, or a fractionalized Fermi liquid (FL*) without magnetic order. A critical `ghost' Fermi surface emerges (alongside the large electron Fermi surface) at the transition, with the ghost fermions carrying neither spin nor charge, but minimally coupled to (U(1) × U(1))=Z2 or (SU(2) × U(1))=Z2 gauge fields. The (U(1) × U(1))=Z2 case describes simultaneous Kondo breakdown and onset of magnetic order: the two gauge fields induce nearly equal attractive and repulsive interactions between ghost Fermi surface excitations, and this competition controls the quantum criticality. Away from the transition on the pseudogap side, the ghost Fermi surface absorbs part of the large electron Fermi surface, and leads to a jump in the Hall co-efficient. We also find an example of an \unnecessary quantum critical point" between a metal with spin density wave order, and a metal with local moment magnetic order. The ghost fermions contribute an enhanced specific heat near the transition, and could also be detected in other thermal probes. We relate our results to the phases of correlated electron compounds.
