摘要

我们认为,出现在任何高导数理论中的李-维克复杂幽灵是稳定的,它的渐近场是存在的。从以下意义上说,称其为 "反不稳定 "可能更为恰当:幽灵 "衰变 "成较轻的普通粒子的次数越多,幽灵保持原样的概率就越大。通过分析幽灵海森堡场的两点函数,我们可以清楚地看到这一点,在具有轻O(N)矢量标量物质的大质量标量幽灵理论中,幽灵海森堡场的两点函数是在N→∞极限下得到的精确结果。反不稳定性是复鬼魂传播者的极点位于四动量平方复平面上的物理片的结果。这应该与普通不稳定粒子的情况形成对比,后者的传播子在物理面上没有极点。

Anti-Instability of Complex Ghost
We argue that Lee-Wick’s complex ghost appearing in any higher derivative theory is stable and its asymptotic field exists. It may be more appropriate to call it “anti-unstable” in the sense that, the more the ghost ‘decays’ into lighter ordinary particles, the larger the probability the ghost remains as itself becomes. This is explicitly shown by analyzing the two-point functions of the ghost Heisenberg field which is obtained as an exact result in the N → ∞ limit in a massive scalar ghost theory with light O(N)-vector scalar matter. The anti-instability is a consequence of the fact that the poles of the complex ghost propagator are located on the physical sheet in the complex plane of four-momentum squared. This should be contrasted to the case of the ordinary unstable particle, whose propagator has no pole on the physical sheet.

期刊介绍: Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (PTEP) is an international journal that publishes articles on theoretical and experimental physics. PTEP is a fully open access, online-only journal published by the Physical Society of Japan. PTEP is the successor to Progress of Theoretical Physics (PTP), which terminated in December 2012 and merged into PTEP in January 2013. PTP was founded in 1946 by Hideki Yukawa, the first Japanese Nobel Laureate. PTEP, the successor journal to PTP, has a broader scope than that of PTP covering both theoretical and experimental physics. PTEP mainly covers areas including particles and fields, nuclear physics, astrophysics and cosmology, beam physics and instrumentation, and general and mathematical physics.
