THIRD QUANTIZATION

Multi-Valued Quantum Field TheoryIn Condensed Matter, Electromagnetism,

Quark Confinement, and Gravitation

Hagen Kleinert, FU BERLIN

Imagine: Single-Valued World

Multivalued World

Warm-up: Ginzburg-Landau Theory

FALSE!Chain Rule:

set

Jumps!

In 1D, can be removed by going to covering group U(1)

In >1D impossible

Correct Chain Rule:

Gauge Transformations

Axial Gauge

Invariant Field Strength:

Simplest MULTIVALUED FIELD in 2D

Solve:

NOTE:

Mother of Two Important Green Functions

Application: Magnetostatics

Recall:

Now: Generate Magnetic Field

by Multivalued Gauge Transformations

Thin Flux Tube:

Magnetic Monopoles

Derive: Minimal Coupling From Non- holonomic Gauge Transformations

Then action changes by surface terms only:

For nonholonomic

Nontrivial

Schrödinger Equation

Momentum

Use nonholonomic

then

Solved by

Multivalued Description of Magnetism

Magnetic Field

Gauge Invariance

Defect Current Conserv.:

Integration by parts

Integration of Omega

Enforced as Bianchi Identity:

Double Gauge Theory:

Note: Action arises also

from GL Theory of superfluid He

In London (hydrodynamic) Limit

Thus same formalism holds for superfluid He!

GC Sum Over Lines can be transformed into

Disorder QFT

Result: Ginzburg-Landau Theoryof Superfluid Helium

Absorb phase angle (unitary gauge

Simple argument:

Integrated out cubic term 1st-order transtion:

Fluctuations of vector potential

Correct:
