Current algebra representation for the 3+1 dimensional Dirac-Yang-Mills theory

Abstract

The structure of the current algebra representation in the state space of fermions in an external Yang-Mills field in 3+1 space-time dimensions is analyzed; the topology of the vector space is determined by a countable family of semi-definite inner products. We show that there is no hermitian non-trivial Hilbert space representation such that the energy is bounded from below. The structure of the Hilbert space for the quantized coupled Dirac-Yang-Mills system is discussed and the existence of the vacuum vector and the cancellation of commutator anomalies is described in terms of complex line bundles over infinite-dimensional Grassmannians.
