Detailed Description

Implementation of vector bosons in AMRTY.

A vector boson comes with a FieldStrength each time that allows to write interactions with vectors in an easier way, usin directly the Field strength for derivative couplings. Vector bosons can also be associated to a GoldstoneBoson or a GhostBoson (automatic for non abelian gauged groups) for gauge fixing procedures.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ VectorBoson()

template<class ... Args>
mty::VectorBoson::VectorBoson ( Args &&...  args)
inline

Delegates any arguments to the BaseVectorBoson::BaseVectorBoson() constructors and creates the associated field strength.

Template Parameters
...ArgsVariadic template argument types.
Parameters
...argsParameter pack.

Member Function Documentation

◆ generateSimilar()

Particle mty::VectorBoson::generateSimilar ( std::string const &  t_name) const
overridevirtual

Pure virtual function. Generates a partical similar to the current object, changing only the name.

Parameters
t_nameName of the new particle, identical to the current object.
Returns
The new Particle.

Implements mty::QuantumFieldParent.

Reimplemented in mty::GaugeBoson.

◆ getFieldStrength()

Particle mty::VectorBoson::getFieldStrength ( ) const
overridevirtual
Returns
The field strength of the vector.
See also
FieldStrength

Reimplemented from mty::QuantumFieldParent.

◆ getGaugeChoice()

mty::gauge::Choice mty::VectorBoson::getGaugeChoice ( ) const
overridevirtual
Returns
The gauge choice for the vector boson.

Reimplemented from mty::QuantumFieldParent.

◆ getGhostBoson()

Particle mty::VectorBoson::getGhostBoson ( ) const
overridevirtual

For a vector boson in a non abelian gauged group, returns the associated ghost boson.

Returns
The ghost associated with the vector if there is one.
nullptr else.

Reimplemented from mty::QuantumFieldParent.

◆ getGoldstone()

Particle mty::VectorBoson::getGoldstone ( ) const
overridevirtual

For a vector boson in a non abelian gauged group, returns the associated Goldstone boson.

Returns
The Goldstone associated with the vector if there is one.
nullptr else.

Reimplemented from mty::QuantumFieldParent.

◆ getXiGauge()

csl::Expr mty::VectorBoson::getXiGauge ( ) const
overridevirtual
Returns
The \( \xi \) gauge fixing parameter.

Reimplemented from mty::QuantumFieldParent.

◆ hasFieldStrength()

bool mty::VectorBoson::hasFieldStrength ( ) const
overridevirtual

Tells if the particle has a FieldStrength.

A FieldStrength is defined automatically for VectorBoson fields, gauge bosons or not. It is defined as

\[ F^I_{\mu\nu} \equiv \partial _\mu A^I_\nu - \partial _\nu A^I_\mu, \]

with \( A^A_\mu \) a vector boson with a generic index \( I \) representing all flavor and gauge structures. If the field strength is defined, the kinetic term is expressed as \( -\frac{1}{4}F^I_{\mu\nu} F^{I\mu\nu} \) and contractions like \( \langle A^I_\mu F^J_{\nu\rho} \rangle \) or \( \langle F^I_{\mu\nu}F^J_{\rho\sigma}\rangle \) are defined by built-in propagators.

See also
VectorBoson, FieldStrength, Propagator_func, quantumFieldTheory.h.
Returns
True if the particle (should be a VectorBoson) has a FieldStrength defined.
False else.

Reimplemented from mty::QuantumFieldParent.

◆ initPropagator()

void mty::VectorBoson::initPropagator ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Initializes default propagators for the particle. This function is called automatically in the constructor of derived classes.

See also
Propagator_func, ScalarBoson, WeylFermion, DiracFermion, VectorBoson.

Reimplemented from mty::QuantumFieldParent.

◆ operator()()

csl::Expr mty::VectorBoson::operator() ( std::vector< csl::Index indices,
const csl::Tensor t_point 
)
override

Creates a vector or field strength expression depending on the indices that are given.

Generates \( A_\mu^{\{I\}} \) or \( F_{\mu\nu}^{\{I\}} \) depending on the number of Minkowski indices given. Flavor and gauge indices \( \{I\} \) are the same in both cases.

Parameters
indicesIndices. If an additional Minkowski index is given, a field strength object is returned.
t_pointSpace-time point.
Returns
The expression corresponding to the given indices.

◆ setBrokenParts()

void mty::VectorBoson::setBrokenParts ( const csl::Space broken,
const std::vector< Particle > &  brokenParts 
)
overridevirtual

Sets broken parts (from gauge of flavor symmetry full breaking) containing the new particles.

This function should not be called directly by the user in general. It overrides a csl function that allows to break a tensor into several parts. In this case the space is fully broken (no subspace left).

Parameters
brokenSpace that is broken in several parts.
brokenPartsNew particles arising from the symmmetry breaking.

Reimplemented from mty::QuantumFieldParent.

◆ setFieldStrength()

void mty::VectorBoson::setFieldStrength ( Particle const &  fieldStrength)
overridevirtual

For a VectorBoson, sets the associated FieldStrength.

The fieldStrength must of course be consitent with the actual field.

hasFieldStrength(), FieldStrength, VectorBoson.
Returns
The FieldStrength of the the VectorBoson if it exists.
nullptr otherwise.

Reimplemented from mty::QuantumFieldParent.

Associates the vector with a new ghost boson.

The ghost should have the same representation (flavor and gauge) as the vector.

Parameters

Reimplemented from mty::QuantumFieldParent.
