BRST Symmetric Formulation of a Theory with Gribov-type Copies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
A path integral with BRST symmetry can be formulated by summing the Gribov-type copies in a very specific way if the functional correspondence between $\tau$ and the gauge parameter $\omega$ defined by $\tau (x) = f( A_{\mu}^{\omega})$ is ``globally ...

Gauging without initial symmetry

open access: yesJournal of Geometry and Physics, 2016
The gauge principle is at the heart of a good part of fundamental physics: Starting with a group G of so-called rigid symmetries of a functional defined over space-time Sigma, the original functional is extended appropriately by additional Lie(G)-valued 1-form gauge fields so as to lift the symmetry to Maps(Sigma,G).

Supersymmetric SO(10) Models Inspired by Deconstruction

open access: yes, 2004
We consider 4-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric SO(10) models inspired by deconstruction of 5-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric orbifold SO(10) models and high dimensional non-supersymmetric SO(10) models with Wilson line gauge symmetry breaking.

String Dualities in the Presence of Anomalous U(1) Symmetries [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Anomalous U(1) gauge symmetries in type II orientifold theories show some unexpected properties. In contrast to the heterotic case, the masses of the gauge bosons are in general of order of the string scale even in the absence of large Fayet-Iliopoulos ...

(p − 1)-bracket for Dp-branes in large R-R field background

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
The volume-preserving diffeomorphism is a key feature that characterizes the large constant R-R (p − 1)-form field background in a Dp-brane theory. It represents a symmetry of the theory that preserves the volume of space.

Reducible Stueckelberg symmetry and dualities

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2021
We propose a general procedure for iterative inclusion of Stueckelberg fields to convert the theory into gauge system being equivalent to the original one. In so doing, we admit reducibility of the Stueckelberg gauge symmetry.

Gauge Freedom in Path Integrals in Abelian Gauge Theory

open access: yes, 2015
We extend gauge symmetry of Abelian gauge field to incorporate quantum gauge degrees of freedom. We twice apply the Harada--Tsutsui gauge recovery procedure to gauge-fixed theories.

Gauge fixing, BRS invariance and Ward identities for randomly stirred flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The Galilean invariance of the Navier-Stokes equation is shown to be akin to a global gauge symmetry familiar from quantum field theory. This symmetry leads to a multiple counting of infinitely many inertial reference frames in the path integral approach

Symmetric Gapped Interfaces of SPT and SET States: Systematic Constructions

open access: yesPhysical Review X, 2018
Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) states have boundary ’t Hooft anomalies that obstruct the effective boundary theory realized in its own dimension with UV completion and with an on-site G-symmetry.

Nonliquid cellular states: Gluing gauge-higher-symmetry-breaking versus gauge-higher-symmetry-extension interfacial defects

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2022
The existence of quantum nonliquid states and fracton orders, both gapped and gapless states, challenges our understanding of phases of entangled matter. We generalize the cellular topological states to liquid or nonliquid cellular states.
