Generalized simplicial chiral models

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Using the auxiliary field representation of the simplicial chiral models on a (d-1)-dimensional simplex, the simplicial chiral models are generalized through replacing the term Tr(AAd) in the Lagrangian of these models by an arbitrary class function of AAd; V(AAd). This is the same method used in defining the generalized two-dimensional Yang-Mills theories (gYM_2) from ordinary YM_2. We call these models, the ``generalized simplicial chiral models. Using the results of the one-link integral over a U(N) matrix, the large-N saddle-point equations for eigenvalue density function o(z) in the weak () and strong () regions are computed. In d=2, where the model is in some sense related to the gYM_2 theory, the saddle-point equations are solved for o(z) in the two regions, and the explicit value of critical point is calculated for V(B)=TrBn (B=AAd). For V(B)=TrB2,TrB3, and TrB4, the critical behaviour of the model at d=2 is studied, and by calculating the internal energy, it is shown that these models have a third order phase transition.
