Gauge Fields, Membranes and Subdeterminant Vector Models
arXiv:1002.2437 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.221801
Abstract
We present a class of classically marginal N-vector models in d=4 and d=3, whose scalar potentials can be written as subdeterminants of symmetric matrices. The d=3 case is a generalization of the scalar Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson (BLG) model. Using the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation we calculate their effective potentials which exhibit intriguing large-N scaling behaviors. We comment on the relevance of our models to strings, membranes and also to a class of novel spin systems that are based on ternary commutation relations.
