Abstract Wiener measure using abelian Yang-Mills action on $\mathbb{R}^4$
Abstract
Let be the Lie algebra of a compact Lie group. For a -valued 1-form , consider the Yang-Mills action \begin{equation} S_{{\rm YM}}(A) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^4} \left|dA + A \wedge A \right|^2\ d\omega \nonumber \end{equation} using the Euclidean metric on . When we consider the Lie group , the Lie algebra is isomorphic to , thus . For a simple closed loop , we want to make sense of the following path integral, \begin{equation} \frac{1}{Z}\ \int_{A \in \mathcal{A} /\mathcal{G}} \exp \left[ \int_{C} A\right] e^{-\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}^4}|dA|^2\ d\omega}\ DA, \nonumber \end{equation} whereby is some Lebesgue type of measure on the space containing -valued 1-forms modulo gauge transformations, and is some partition function. We will construct an Abstract Wiener space for which we can define the above Yang-Mills path integral rigorously, applying renormalization techniques found in lattice gauge theory. We will further show that the Area Law formula does not hold in the abelian Yang-Mills theory.
