We study the representation D of a simple compact Lie algebra g of rank l constructed with the aid of the hermitian Dirac matrices of a (dim g)-dimensional euclidean space. The irreducible representations of g contained in D are found by providing a general construction on suitable fermionic Fock spaces. We give full details not only for the simplest odd and even cases, namely su(2) and su (3), but also for the next (dim g)-even case of su(5). Our results are far reaching: they apply to any g-invariant quantum mechanical system containing dim g fermions. Another reason for undertaking this study is to examine the role of the g-invariant fermionic operators that naturally arise. These are given in terms of products of an odd number of gamma matrices, and include, besides a cubic operator, (l − 1) fermionic scalars of higher order. The latter are constructed from the Lie algebra cohomology cocycles, and must be considered to be of theoretical significance similar to the cubic operator. In the (dim g)-even case, the product of all l operators turns out to be the chirality operator γ q , q = (dim g + 1).

“…To discuss this and other examples involving G = SU(4), it is most convenient to generalise the Gell-Mann λ-matrices from SU(3) to SU(4) in a fashion different from that in [3,14] and to use the d and f tensors that follow from this new set. Thus, set…”
The explicit expression of all the WZW effective actions for a simple group G broken down to a subgroup H is established in a simple and direct way, and the formal similarity of these actions to the Chern-Simons forms is explained. Applications are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
