The equivalence between the Non-belian Nambu model NNM) and Yang Mills theory is proved, after demanding the Gauss laws at some initial time to the first one. Thereby, the Lorentz violation encoded into the constraint that defines the NNM is physically unobservable. s result, the Goldstone bosons in the NNM arising from the spontaneous symmetry breaking can be identified as the standard gauge fields. Lorentz invariance violation LIV) has attracted considerable attention since some theories, such as Quantum Gravity [1] and Strings [2], provide some mechanisms where the fundamental Lorentz symmetry can be broken. Some schemas seek for deviations of Lorentz symmetry experimentally measurable [], while others attempt to incorporate the concept of LIV in such a way that the physical effects are unobservable. s an example of the last idea, the Nambu model [4] is motivated by means of Lorentz violation arising from a spontaneous symmetry breaking. Perturbative and nonperturbative calculations show that, under some conditions, the Nambu model is equivalent to the standard Electrodynamics [5]. In this way, the Nambu model provides a dynamical interpretation of the corresponding massless gauge bosons in terms of the Goldstone bosons GB). dditional previous works in Yang Mills theories and gravitation can be found in Refs. [6] and Refs. [7], respectively. In the present work, following a Hamiltonian analysis we show a nonperturbative equivalence between the Non-belian Nambu model and Yang Mills YM) theory. To prove the foregoing equivalence we have to deal with the issues: i) the number of degrees of freedom DOF) in the NNM is larger than that of the Yang Mills theory, ii) the NNM is not gauge invariant, iii) the equations of motion of the NNM and Yang Mills theory do not match and iv) current conservation does not hold in the NNM. The equivalence will be proved showing that by means of a suitable canonical transformation of the NNM variables plus the Gauss laws as initial conditions, both the Hamiltonian and canonical algebra of the NNM are the same as those describing the Yang Mills theory. The appendix includes a review of the Hamiltonian analysis of Yang Mills theory, which we use as a benchmark to state the proposed equivalence. 1.

The constraint 2) can be understood as providing a nonzero vacuum expectation value µ = n µ M, which produces spontaneous symmetry breaking of Lorentz invariance and the appearing of Goldstone bosons via the Goldstone theorem. convenient way to deal with the different cases of the NNM is by means of the parametrization a 0 = B a 1 + N ) 4B 2, a = B a 1 N ) 4B 2, ) with N = b ī b ī + n 2 M 2), 4B 2 ± N 0, ī = 1, 2, 4) which certainly satisfies the condition 2) and it is written in terms of the N independent GB B a, b ī. Notice that n 2 can take the values ±1 and 0. fter the substitution of ) in the Lagrangian density 1), the variation of the corresponding action with respect to B a, b ī yields the equations of motion δb a : with the notation δ ā ı : 1 + N ) 4B 2 δ ab N 2B b B a ) 4B 2 B 2 E 0b + Eīa + Bb 2B 2 [ E 0b E b] ā ı = 0, 5) 1 N ) 4B 2 δ ab + N 2B b B a ) 4B 2 B 2 E b = 0, 6) E νa = D µ F µν J ν ) a. 7) Let us recall that in the case of the SON) Yang Mills theory the equations of motion are just given by E νa = 0. The equations of motion 5) and 6) do not imply current conservation D ν J νa = 0, basically because the condition 2) breaks the gauge invariance. way to recover the Yang Mills equations of motion together with gauge invariance is to impose the Gauss laws E 0a = 0. In this way, under the conditions 4B 2 ± N 0, Eq. 6) yields the solution E b = 0. These two conditions in 5) provide the final set Eīa = 0. In order to unify the notation when going to the Hamiltonian formulation we introduce the N DOF Φ a, = 1, 2,, Φ a 1 = a 1, Φ a 2 = a 2, Φ a = B a, 8) in such a way that the coordinate transformation a i = a i Φ b ), 9) arising from ) is invertible. The relevant property of the transformation 9) is that a i = a i Φ b B together with the invertibility of the velocities Φ b B, a i Φ b B Φ a = Φa b i = a i Φ b, 10) B b i. 11) 2

4 Journal of Physics: Conference Series ) In the following we will not require the explicit form of the transformations ), but only its generic form 9), together with the property that this transformation can be inverted. Next we proceed to calculate the Hamiltonian density of the NNM in terms of the canonically conjugated variables Φ b, Πb and employing a procedure that allows to make direct contact with both the YM Hamiltonian density.8) and the YM canonical algebra.9). fter the substitutions 9) together with a 0 = a 0 Φb ) are made, the Lagrangian density 1) can be splitted as L NNM Φ, Φ) = 1 2 Ea i E a i 1 2 Ba i B a i J aµ a µ, 12) where E a i = a i D i a 0, B a i = 1 2 ɛ ijkf a jk, 1) with Ei a = Ea i Φ, Φ), Bi a = Ba i Φ). The canonically conjugated momenta are calculated as Π a = L NNMΦ, Φ) Φ a = Ei b b i Φ a = E b i b i Φ a, according to 10). The inverse of Eqs. 9) allows us to write the colored electric fields Ei a functions of the momenta Π b of the NNM as It can be proved that the Wronskian of the system is det 2 L NNM Φ, Φ) ) Φ a Φ b B = det Π a Φ b B Ei b Φ, Π) = Φa b Π a. 14) i ) = det c i c ) Φ i c b Φ a = det i c ) i B Φ b B Φ a 0. 15) In this way, the NNM is exhibited as a regular system in the parameterization ), so that no constraints are present. The NNM Hamiltonian density is which we rewrite in successive steps as H NNM = Π a Φ 1 a 2 Ea i Ei a 1 ) 2 Ba i Bi a J aµ a µ, 16) H NNM Φ, Π) = 1 2 Ea i Ei a Ba i Bi a D i Ei b J b0) b 0 + J ai a i, 17) where we have used the relations 11), 1) and 14), together with an integration by parts in the term containing the covariant derivative. The dependence of H NNM upon the canonical variables Φ, Π is clearly established by the change of variables 9) and 14). The NNM canonical variables satisfy the standard PB algebra Φ a x), Φ b By) = 0, Π a x), Π b By) = 0, Φ a x), Π b By) = δ ab δ B δ x y). 18) Now we can consider the NNM Hamiltonian density 17) from the perspective of the fields a i, Ea i. The following relation arising from the velocity dependent term of NNM Hamiltonian action d 4 x Π a Φ a = d 4 x Ei a a i = d 4 x E ai ) a i, 19)

5 Journal of Physics: Conference Series ) establishes E ai ) as the canonically conjugated momenta of a i. In this way 17) can be read as a Hamiltonian density H, E) obtained from H NNM Φ, Π) via the substitution of the phase space transformations Φ, Π), E), 20) which follow from the inverses of Eqs.9) and 14) plus the relation ) a 0 = a bi b bi + n2 M 2, 21) b in terms of the new variables. But, since the transformations 14) are generated by the change of variables 9) in the coordinate space, we know from classical mechanics that the full transformation in the phase space is a canonical transformation. In this way we automatically recover the PB algebra a i x), b jy) = 0, E ai x), E bj y) = 0, a i x), E bj y) = δ ab δ j i δ x y) 22) from Eq. 18). Summarizing, from each Hamiltonian version of the NNM, defined by the different values of n 2, we can regain, via a canonical transformation, the Hamiltonian density 17) together with the canonical algebra.9). The Hamiltonian density 17) differs from the YM Hamiltonian density.8) only in the fact that the Gauss laws Ω b = D i Ei b J b0) = 0 do not appear as first class constraints, because a 0 are not arbitrary Lagrange multipliers, but functions of the coordinates as shown in Eq. 21). To deal with this issue we study the time evolution of the Gauss functions under the dynamics of the NNM, starting from the Hamiltonian density 17). fter some calculations, in the NNM we find [8] ) Ω a = gc abc b 0Ω c D µ J µa 1 + D 0 1 Ω a a ) D c b 0Ω b a ) + D i i c N b 0Ω b, 2) where b 0 is given by Eq. 21). It follows that, imposing the Gauss constraints as initial conditions Ω a t = t 0 ) = 0) upon Eqs. 5)-6), the standard Yang-Mills equations of motion E νa = 0) are recovered and they are valid at t = t 0. s a consequence of the antisymmetry of Maxwell tensor, the relation 0 = D ν E νa = D ν D µ F µν J ν ) a = D ν J νa = 0, at t = t 0 ), 24) holds, yielding current conservation at t = t 0. Using Ω a t = t 0 ) = 0 and D ν J νa t=t0 = 0 in Eq. 2), we obtain Ω a t = t 0 ) = 0. Since the relations Ω a t = t 0 ) = 0 and Ω a t = t 0 ) = 0 are fulfilled, we obtain Ω a t = t 0 + δt 1 ) = Ω a t = t 0 ) + Ω a t = t 0 )δt 1 +, = 0. 25) Using that Ω a t = t 0 + δt 1 ) = 0, we observe that the Yang Mills equations are now valid at t = t 0 +δt 1, which again, due to antisymmetry of the Maxwell tensor, imply current conservation at t = t 0 + δt 1 and Ω a t = t 0 + δt 1 ) = 0 via Eq. 2). The relations Ω a t = t 0 + δt 1 ) = 0 and Ω a t = t 0 + δt 1 ) = 0 imply Ω a t = t 0 + δt 1 + δt 2 ) = 0. Iterating the previous process, it follows that the Gauss laws and current conservation are now valid for all time. Summarizing, the above analysis shows that in the case of the Non-belian Nambu model, the specific gauge structure of the theory allows us to impose only the Gauss constraints as initial conditions, which necessarily 4

6 Journal of Physics: Conference Series ) yield current conservation for all time. In this way we can recover the SON) Yang-Mills theory by imposing the Gauss laws as Hamiltonian constraints, with arbitrary functions N a adding N a Ω a to H NNM and redefining a 0 + N a = Θ a. This leads to H NNM = 1 2 E2 + B 2 ) Θ a Ω a + J a i ia, 26) where Θ a are now arbitrary functions, thus getting back to the YM Hamiltonian density.8) plus the canonical algebra.9). It is worth to mention that the imposition of the N Gauss laws as first class constraints in the NNM Hamiltonian reduces the N degrees of freedom of the NNM to 2N, which are the number of degrees of freedom of the Yang Mills theory. 2. Summary nonperturbative equivalence between the Yang Mills theory and the Non-belian Nambu model NNM) has been established, after the Gauss laws are imposed as initial conditions for the latter. The possible interpretation of gauge particles i.e. photons and gravitons, for example) as the Goldstone bosons GB) modes arising from some spontaneous symmetry breaking is an interesting hypothesis which would provide a dynamical setting to the gauge principle. In this work we have taken the Nambu approach in which the spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking is incorporated in an effective way in the model, by means of a nonlinear constraint. The challenge posed by this setting is to show under which conditions, the violations of Lorentz symmetry and gauge invariance, introduced by the non-linear constraint, are unobservable in such a way that the appearing Goldstone bosons can be interpreted as the gauge particles of an unbroken gauge theory. In the case of the NNM we have proved that such conditions are the Gauss laws just as initial conditions. The strategy employed to prove the equivalence between both theories was to show that, by means of a suitable transformation of the NNM variables plus the Gauss laws as initial conditions, the Hamiltonian and canonical algebra of the NNM are reduced to their corresponding in the Yang Mills theory, in such a way that both theories are undistinguishable. cknowledgments L.

The Yang- Mills Lagrangian density is given by L = T r [ 1 ] 4 F µνf µν J µ µ,.1) where boldfaced quantities denote matrices in the Lie algebra of the internal symmetry group SON) with NN 1)/2 generators t a ; i.e. M = M a t a. This algebra is generated by [ t a, t b] = C abc t c, where the structure constants C abc are completely antisymmetric. The canonical Hamiltonian density arising from the Lagrange density.1) is given by H = Π i a a i L = 1 2 E2 + B 2 ) a 0D i E i J 0 ) a J a i a i..2) We employ the Dirac s method to construct the canonical theory due to the fact that primary constraints Σ a = Π a 0 0,.) 5

The evolution condition of the primary constraints Σ a x) = Σ a, H E leads to the Gauss laws Ω a = D i E i J 0 ) a 0..5) It is not difficult to prove that.) and.5) are the only constraints present and that they constitute a first class set. In fact, calculating the time evolution of Ω a yields Ω a = 0 J a 0 C abc b 0J c 0 C abc b 0Ω c D k J ak = C abc b 0Ω c D µ J aµ,.6) which is zero, modulo the constraints and using current conservation. Normally one fixes Π a 0 0, a 0 Θ a,.7) with Θ a being arbitrary functions to be consistently determined after the remaining first class constraints Ω a are fixed. The final Hamiltonian density is H E = 1 2 E2 + B 2 ) Θ a D i E i J 0 ) a + J a i i a..8) Once Π a 0 and a 0 are fixed strongly, the Dirac brackets among the remaining variables are a i x, t), b jy, t) = 0, E ai x, t), E bj y, t) = 0, a i x, t), E bj y, t) = δ j i δab δx y)..9) The final count of degrees of freedom DOF) per point in coordinate space yields #DOF = 1 2 4N 2 2N) = 2N. 2.10) t this point, the dynamics of Yangs Mills is determined by the Hamiltonian.8) together with the canonical algebra.9). The goal to obtain the proposed equivalence, between YM theory and the NNM, will be to obtain the same Hamiltonian and canonical algebra from the NNM, after the Gauss laws are imposed as initial conditions.
