Extended higgs models and ’t hooft algebra

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We have studied a class of Lagrangian models in 2+1D involving solitonlike fields. We have verified that these fields, together with the gauge phase factor operators, realize the ’t Hooft algebra.

Riassunto

Si è studiata una classe di modelli lagrangiani in 2+1 dimensioni che contengono campi con proprietà simili a quelle dei solitoni topologici. Si è verificato che questi campi, assieme agli operatori fattori di fase di gauge, realizzano l’algebra di ’t Hooft.

  8. A subtle question is whether in our model there exist topological solitons besides the «elementary solitons». This problem is not present in ref.(6), since there the functional integration over theϕ-fields is restricted to the trivial topological sector.
