Abstract

We consider the secondary fields in DD-dimensional space, D3D\ge3, generated by the non-abelian current and energy-momentum tensor. These fields appear in the operator product expansions jμa(x)ϕ(0)j^{a}_\mu(x)\phi(0) and Tμν(x)ϕ(0)T_{\mu\nu}(x)\phi(0). The secondary fields underlie the construction proposed herein (see [1,2] for more details) and aimed at the derivation of exact solutions of conformal models in D3D\ge3. In the case of D=2 this construction leads to the known [5] exactly solvable models based on the infinite-dimensional conformal symmetry. It is shown that for D3D\ge3 the existence of the secondary fields is governed by the existence of anomalous operator contributions (the scalar fields RjR_j and RTR_T of dimensions dj=dT=D2d_j = d_T = D-2) into the operator product expansions jμajνbj^{a}_\mu j^{b}_\nu and TμνTρσT_{\mu\nu} T_{\rho\sigma}. The coupling constant between the field RjR_j and the fundamental field is found. The fields RjR_j and RTR_T are shown to beget two infinite sets of secondary tensor fields of canonical dimensions D2+sD-2+s, where ss is the tensor rank. The current and the energy-momentum tensor belong to those families, their Green functions being expressed through the Green functions of the fields RjR_j and RTR_T correspondingly. We demonstrate that the Ward identities give rise to the closed set of equations for the Green functions of the fields RjR_j and RTR_T.
