Gauge transformation vacuum

The development just given illustrates the fact that the topology of the vacuum determines the nature of the gauge transformation, field tensor, and field equations, as inferred in Section (I). The covariant derivative plays a central role in each case for example, the homogeneous field equation of 0(3) electrodynamics is a Jacobi identity made up of covariant derivatives in an internal 0(3) symmetry gauge group. The equivalent of the Jacobi identity in general relativity is the Bianchi identity. 

Another example of a physical effect of this type is the Aharonov-Bohm effect, which is supported by a multiply connected vacuum configuration such as that described by the 0(3) gauge group [6]. The Aharonov-Bohm effect is a gauge transform of the true vacuum, where there are no potentials. In our notation, therefore the Aharonov-Bohm effect is due to terms such as (1/ )8 , depending on the geometry chosen for the experiment. It is essential for the Aharonov-Bohm effect to exist such that (1/ )8 be physical, and not random. It follows therefore that the vacuum configuration defined by the... 

We observe that the gauge transform is unique and cannot allow us to eliminate the vector potential outside the solenoid. In addition, the vector potential A derives from a multiform scalar potential F. This result contradicts the solenoidal characteristic of the A = — VA r In (r)Bo/2] vector potential. Henceforth, the gauge transform given above represents nonobservable stationary waves in vacuum since the Lorentz gauge ... 

The derivation of Eq. (218) from Eq. (206) follows from local gauge invariance, and it is always possible to apply a local gauge transform to the vector A, the Maxwell vector potential. The ordinary derivative of the d Alembert wave equation is replaced by an 0(3) covariant derivative. The U(l) equivalent of Eq. (218) in quantum-mechanical (operator) form is Eq. (13), and Eq. (212) is the rigorously correct form of the phenomenological Eq. (25). It can be seen that Eq. (212) is richly structured in the vacuum and must be solved numerically. The vacuum currents present in Eq. (218) can be computed from the right-hand side of the wave equation (212), and these vacuum currents follow from local gauge invariance. 

Therefore the Lehnert equation (253) correctly conserves action under a local U(l) gauge transformation in the vacuum. Such a transformation leads to a vacuum charge current density as the result of gauge theory itself, because U(l) gauge theory has a scalar internal space that supports A and A. These must be complex in order to define the globally conserved charge ... 

So it becomes clear that the description of the vacuum in gauge theory can be developed systematically by recognizing that, in general, A is an -dimensional vector. On the U(l) level, it is one-dimensional on the 0(3) level, it is three-dimensional and so on. The internal gauge space in this development is a physical space that can be subjected to a local gauge transform to produce physical vacuum charge current densities. 

So in the general case where A is an -dimensional vector [46], a local gauge transform on this vector is represented in the vacuum by... 

So the product gMaA is the result of special relativity in the vacuum, and g is adjusted for correct units. Ryder [46] simply describes A as an additional held or potential Feynman describes it as the universal influence. Therefore, as argued in the foregoing section, both the potential and the electromagnetic held in the vacuum originate in local gauge transformation, which, in turn, originates in special relativity itself. 

Here,, 4 ( is the vector 4-potential introduced in the vacuum as part of the covariant derivative, and therefore introduced by spacetime curvature. The electromagnetic field and the topological charge g are the results of the invariance of the Lagrangian (868) under local U(l) gauge transformation, in other words, the results of spacetime curvature. 

The action is therefore not invariant under local gauge transformation. To restore invariance the four potential, A must be introduced into the pure gauge vacuum to give the Lagrangian... 

The total Lagrangian if I X I if2 is now invariant under the local gauge transformation because of the introduction of the 4-potential A, which couples to the current of the complex A of the pure gauge vacuum. The field A also contributes to the Lagrangian, and since if + ifj + if2 is invariant, an extra term if3 appears, which must also be gauge-invariant. This can be so only if the electromagnetic field is introduced... 

Chemical behaviour depends on chemical potential and electromagnetic interaction. Both of these factors depend on the local curvature of space-time, commonly identified with the vacuum. Any chemical or phase transformation is caused by an interaction that changes the symmetry of the gauge field. It is convenient to describe such events in terms of a Lagrangian density which is invariant under gauge transformation and reveals the details of the interaction as a function of the symmetry. The chemically important examples of crystal nucleation and the generation of entropy by time flow will be discussed next. The important conclusion is that in all cases, the gauge field arises from a symmetry of space-time and the nature of chemical matter and interaction reduces to a function of space-time structure.

Obviously, this vacuum state is neither invariant under SU(2)l transformations with the generators r nor under the initial 17(1)y transformations with the generator 1. It is, however, invariant with respect to the gauge transformations... 

We could stop the analysis there and merely accept this explanation. This would, however, lead us to miss two interesting problems. First, A p) depends on / through the self-consistency equation, and then so does E p). How is it that the spectrum of H becomes temperature-dependent Second, H is originally invariant under the gauge transformation a ae , whereas this is no longer the case for the diagonalized form of H. Again, how is that possible The proper mathematical answer is that neither of these facts is possible within Fock-space formalism. The reader who is not yet convinced that this is a serious problem should try to follow, in the thermodynamical limit, what happens to the dressed vacuum of the y (p). 

Type J thermocouples (Table 11.58) are one of the most common types of industrial thermocouples because of the relatively high Seebeck coefficient and low cost. They are recommended for use in the temperature range from 0 to 760°C (but never above 760°C due to an abrupt magnetic transformation that can cause decalibration even when returned to lower temperatures). Use is permitted in vacuum and in oxidizing, reducing, or inert atmospheres, with the exception of sulfurous atmospheres above 500°C. For extended use above 500°C, heavy-gauge wires are recommended. They are not recommended for subzero temperatures. These thermocouples are subject to poor conformance characteristics because of impurities in the iron.
