Gauging as constraining: the universal generalised geometry action in two dimensions

Abstract: One of the central concepts in modern theoretical physics, gauge symmetry, is typically realised by lifting a finite-dimensional global symmetry group of a given functional to an infinite-dimensional local one by extending the functional to include gauge fields. In this contribution we review the construction of gauged actions for two-dimensional sigma models, considering a more general notion to be gauged, namely that of a (possibly singular) foliation. In particular, the original action does not need to have… Show more

“…An answer to the existence question is given for special cases in [5,7]. The results of this paper give a more complete answer: Corollary 6.1 states that for any choice of G and H there exist (ρ a , α a , ω a µb , φ a µb ) which satisfy the constraints (2.14) for some U ⊂ M .…”

“…In [5] a particular solution for φ and ω was found in the special case that (α * + ρ) −1 exists. 7 It follows from Theorem 4.1 that a family of solutions exist in this case, with the given choice being a particular solution. No statement was made about the closure of the gauge algebroid for this choice, nor the existence of solutions when (α * + ρ) −1 does not exist.…”

“…[ρ(e a ), ρ(e b )] = ρ([e a , e b ]), (50) b We can consider a more general ansatz of a gauge transformation as δA a = Dǫ a +[A, ǫ] a = dǫ a +C a bc A b ǫ c + ∆A a , where ∆A a is a 1-form taking a value on a pullback of E, which is linear with respect to the infinitesimal parameter ǫ a . [8,9,10] where ∨ is a symmetric product of 1-forms. Equation (49) is equivalent to E ∇g = 0.…”

“…Recently, a two-dimensional gauged sigma model with a two-form b-field with three dimensional Wess-Zumino term [14] is analyzed related to T-duality in string theory [4,5,7,8,9,10]. For such an application, it is interesting to generalize a momentum section in a pre-multisymplectic manifold.…”
