definition

Condition for equal absolute values q1=q2|q_1| = |q_2| for rational numbers

#ConstAbsProp

For a pair of rational numbers (q1,q2)Q×Q(q_1, q_2) \in \mathbb{Q} \times \mathbb{Q}, this proposition represents the condition that their squares are equal, q12=q22q_1^2 = q_2^2. This is equivalent to the condition that the two rational numbers have the same absolute value, q1=q2|q_1| = |q_2|.

definition

Constant absolute value condition Si=Sj|S_i| = |S_j| for charges

#ConstAbs

For a charge assignment SQnS \in \mathbb{Q}^n within a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with nn fermions, this proposition states that all charges have the same absolute value. Formally, it is defined as the condition that for all indices i,j{0,1,,n1}i, j \in \{0, 1, \dots, n-1\}, the charges satisfy (Si)2=(Sj)2(S_i)^2 = (S_j)^2, which is equivalent to Si=Sj|S_i| = |S_j|.

theorem

Permutations Preserve Constant Absolute Values of Charges

#constAbs_perm

In a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with nn fermions, let S=(S0,S1,,Sn1)QnS = (S_0, S_1, \dots, S_{n-1}) \in \mathbb{Q}^n be a charge configuration. For any permutation σ\sigma in the symmetric group SnS_n, the permuted charge configuration σ(S)=(Sσ(0),Sσ(1),,Sσ(n1))\sigma(S) = (S_{\sigma(0)}, S_{\sigma(1)}, \dots, S_{\sigma(n-1)}) has constant absolute values (i.e., Sσ(i)=Sσ(j)|S_{\sigma(i)}| = |S_{\sigma(j)}| for all i,ji, j) if and only if the original configuration SS has constant absolute values (i.e., Si=Sj|S_i| = |S_j| for all i,ji, j).

theorem

Sorting Preserves Constant Absolute Values of Charges

#constAbs_sort

In a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with nn fermions, let S=(S0,S1,,Sn1)QnS = (S_0, S_1, \dots, S_{n-1}) \in \mathbb{Q}^n be a charge configuration. If all charges in SS have the same absolute value, such that Si=Sj|S_i| = |S_j| for all i,j{0,1,,n1}i, j \in \{0, 1, \dots, n-1\}, then the configuration obtained by sorting SS also satisfies the condition that all its components have the same absolute value.

definition

Sorted charge assignment with constant absolute value Si|S_i|

#ConstAbsSorted

For a charge assignment S=(S1,S2,,Sn)QnS = (S_1, S_2, \dots, S_n) \in \mathbb{Q}^n within a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with nn fermions, the property `ConstAbsSorted` is satisfied if the charges are sorted in non-decreasing order, S1S2SnS_1 \le S_2 \le \dots \le S_n, and all charges have the same absolute value, such that Si=Sj|S_i| = |S_j| for all i,j{1,,n}i, j \in \{1, \dots, n\}.

For any indices i,k{0,1,,n}i, k \in \{0, 1, \dots, n\}, if iki \le k and the charge SkS_k is non-positive (Sk0S_k \le 0), then Si=SkS_i = S_k.

If for some index ii, the charge SiS_i is non-positive (Si0S_i \le 0), then SiS_i must be equal to the first charge S0S_0.

If for some index kk, the charge SkS_k is non-negative (0Sk0 \le S_k), then for any index ii such that kik \le i, it holds that Si=SkS_i = S_k.

If an index k{0,,n1}k \in \{0, \dots, n-1\} is a boundary, defined by the condition Sk<0<Sk+1S_k < 0 < S_{k+1}, then the kk-th charge is equal to the first charge (Sk=S0S_k = S_0).

If an index k{0,,n1}k \in \{0, \dots, n-1\} is a boundary, defined by Sk<0<Sk+1S_k < 0 < S_{k+1}, then the gravitational anomaly (the sum of the charges) is given by: i=0nSi=(2k+1n)S0\sum_{i=0}^n S_i = (2k + 1 - n) S_0 where kk is the index of the last negative charge and S0S_0 is the value of the first charge.
