3 The quickest review of gauge theory Given ψ Ô element in rep space H, e.g. Dirac spinors, operator on H, e.g. /, we say the operator is covariant if under the transformation ψ uψ, the operator trasforms as Ô uôu 1, since that gives us Ôψ uôψ. At the end, a theory built with L ψ Ôψ is invariant under the transformation. Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

4 The quickest review of gauge theory -Cont d When we localize the transformation u, things sometimes change Ô uôu 1 + local terms. Therefore, we need to come up with another operator that transforms as  uâu 1 local terms, so that the combination of the two gives Ô +  u(ô + Â)u 1. Then we have made the combo operator Ô +  a covariant operator, denoted Ô A. Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

5 Example: U(1) from global to local We have L = ψi / ψ. Invariant under global U(1): ψ e iθ ψ, L L = L. When we localize the U(1) symmetry, i.e. θ = θ(x), ψ e iθ(x) ψ, L L = L θψψ. Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

6 Example: U(1) from global to local -Cont d Therefore we come up with a U(1) gauge field A, which transforms as A uau 1 + θ. and modify the Lagrangian as L = ψ(i / + /A)ψ. All together, we acquire an invariant theory. Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

7 Description in spectral triple Suppose we have The unitary transformations are Under transformations u, we have A =C (M), H =Γ(M, S), D =i /. {u A u u = uu = 1}. ψ uψ, Dψ Duψ = udψ + [D, u]ψ. Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

8 Under transformations u, we have ψ uψ, Dψ Duψ = udψ + [D, u]ψ, The theory built with ψdψ is invariant ψdψ ψu Duψ = ψdψ + ψu [D, u]ψ. [D, u] = 0, (u) = 0, u is a global symmetry. Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

9 Under transformations u, we have ψ uψ, Dψ Duψ = udψ + [D, u]ψ, The theory built with ψdψ is invariant What if [D, u] 0? ψdψ ψu Duψ = ψdψ + ψu [D, u]ψ. [D, u] = 0, (u) = 0, u is a global symmetry. Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

10 Under transformations u, we have ψ uψ, Dψ Duψ = udψ + [D, u]ψ, The theory built with ψdψ is invariant What if [D, u] 0? ψdψ ψu Duψ = ψdψ + ψu [D, u]ψ. [D, u] = 0, (u) = 0, u is a global symmetry. Old trick: use a gauge field to absorb the extra term. What should the gauge look like? Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

11 [D, u] 0 In this case, D transforms as D u(d + u [D, u])u. Apparently it is not covariant. It is perturbed during the transformation, with the extra term is of the form u [D, u]. We want to absorb the extra term into D, with the hope the overall operator is recovered covariant. Therefore we define another operator as A = a i [D, b i ], where a i, b i A. We can immediately tell the extra term is nothing but of the form of A, thus can be absorbed. Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

12 D u(d + u [D, u])u = u(d + A 0 )u. With transformation u: D D + A 0. Need A A A 0. Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

13 Using the language we are familiar with, we have (up to order one condition) ψ uψ, D u(d + u [D, u])u, A u(a u [D, u])u, D + A u(d + A)u. Formally, D works similarly to a differential operator as in W = W µ dx µ, and A works like the gauge field. In this way, we can define the new differential one forms as elements in { } Ω 1 = ai [D, b i ] a i, b i A. Chen Duke Gauge Theory through NCG October 24, / 44

Formally, D works similarly to a differential operator as in W = W µ dx µ, and A works like the gauge field. In this way, we can define the new differential one forms as elements in { } Ω 1 = ai [D, b i ] a i, b i A. Define the perturbed D A to be the combination of the two D A = D + A.
