Parameterization of linear solutions for a pure U(1)U(1) theory with 2n+12n+1 fermions

#parameterizationAsLinear

For a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+12n+1 fermions, given two vectors of rational coefficients g,fQng, f \in \mathbb{Q}^n and a rational scalar aQa \in \mathbb{Q}, this function constructs a specific vector in the space of linear solutions LinSolsQ2n+1\text{LinSols} \subset \mathbb{Q}^{2n+1}. Let P(g)P(g) and P!(f)P!(f) be the charge vectors in Q2n+1\mathbb{Q}^{2n+1} corresponding to the first and second planes of the solution space, and let P(g)P'(g) and P!(f)P!'(f) be their respective representations as elements of the linear solution space. Let A(x,y,z)=i=12n+1xiyizi\mathcal{A}(x, y, z) = \sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} x_i y_i z_i be the symmetric trilinear form associated with the cubic anomaly. The resulting solution vector is defined as: \[ a \cdot \left( \mathcal{A}(P!(f), P!(f), P(g)) \cdot P'(g) - \mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) \cdot P!'(f) \right) \] This construction provides a vector that satisfies the linear anomaly cancellation condition i=12n+1xi=0\sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} x_i = 0, and as noted in the documentation, it serves as a basis for generating solutions that also satisfy the cubic condition i=12n+1xi3=0\sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} x_i^3 = 0.

theorem

Charge vector value of the linear parameterization for 2n+12n+1 fermions

#parameterizationAsLinear_val

Consider a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+12n+1 fermions. Let A(x,y,z)=i=12n+1xiyizi\mathcal{A}(x, y, z) = \sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} x_i y_i z_i be the symmetric trilinear form associated with the cubic anomaly cancellation condition. For any vectors of rational coefficients g,fQng, f \in \mathbb{Q}^n and a rational scalar aQa \in \mathbb{Q}, let P(g)P(g) and P!(f)P!(f) be the vectors in the space of charges Q2n+1\mathbb{Q}^{2n+1} defined as the inclusions of the first and second planes of the linear solution space. The charge vector associated with the parameterized linear solution is given by: \[ a \cdot \left( \mathcal{A}(P!(f), P!(f), P(g)) \cdot P(g) - \mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) \cdot P!(f) \right) \]

theorem

The Parameterization for 2n+12n+1 Fermions Satisfies the Cubic ACC

#parameterizationCharge_cube

Consider a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+12n+1 Weyl fermions. Let g,fQng, f \in \mathbb{Q}^n be vectors of rational coefficients and aQa \in \mathbb{Q} be a rational scalar. Let xQ2n+1x \in \mathbb{Q}^{2n+1} be the charge vector defined by the linear parameterization: \[ x = a \cdot \left( \mathcal{A}(P!(f), P!(f), P(g)) \cdot P(g) - \mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) \cdot P!(f) \right) \] where P(g)P(g) and P!(f)P!(f) are the inclusions of the first and second planes of linear solutions into the space of charges, and A(u,v,w)=i=12n+1uiviwi\mathcal{A}(u, v, w) = \sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} u_i v_i w_i is the symmetric trilinear form associated with the cubic anomaly. The theorem states that this charge vector satisfies the cubic anomaly cancellation condition: \[ \sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} x_i^3 = 0 \]

definition

Parameterization of solutions for a pure U(1)U(1) theory with 2n+12n+1 fermions

#parameterization

For a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+12n+1 Weyl fermions, given two vectors of rational coefficients g,fQng, f \in \mathbb{Q}^n and a rational scalar aQa \in \mathbb{Q}, this function constructs a solution vector xQ2n+1x \in \mathbb{Q}^{2n+1} that satisfies the Anomaly Cancellation Conditions (ACCs). A solution xx must satisfy: 1. The linear condition: i=12n+1xi=0\sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} x_i = 0. 2. The cubic condition: i=12n+1xi3=0\sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} x_i^3 = 0. The solution is constructed as: \[ x = a \cdot \left( \mathcal{A}(P!(f), P!(f), P(g)) \cdot P(g) - \mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) \cdot P!(f) \right) \] where P(g)P(g) and P!(f)P!(f) are specific embeddings of the parameter vectors into the space of charges Q2n+1\mathbb{Q}^{2n+1}, and A(u,v,w)=i=12n+1uiviwi\mathcal{A}(u, v, w) = \sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} u_i v_i w_i is the symmetric trilinear form associated with the cubic anomaly.

theorem

A(P(g),P(g),P!(f))=A(P!(f),P!(f),P(g))\mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) = -\mathcal{A}(P!(f), P!(f), P(g)) for Anomaly-Free Solutions in the Odd Case

#anomalyFree_param

Consider a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+12n+1 fermions, where nn is a natural number. Let SS be a solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions (meaning the sum of its components and the sum of the cubes of its components are both zero). Suppose SS can be decomposed as S=P(g)+P!(f)S = P(g) + P!(f) for some parameter vectors g,fQng, f \in \mathbb{Q}^n, where P(g)P(g) and P!(f)P!(f) are the charge vectors in Q2n+1\mathbb{Q}^{2n+1} associated with these parameters. Then the symmetric trilinear form A(x,y,z)=i=02nxiyizi\mathcal{A}(x, y, z) = \sum_{i=0}^{2n} x_i y_i z_i satisfies the following identity: \[ \mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) = -\mathcal{A}(P!(f), P!(f), P(g)) \]

definition

Generic Case condition for an anomaly solution SS

#GenericCase

Let SS be a solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions for a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+32n+3 fermions (corresponding to the index n+1n+1 in the parameterization). We say that SS is in the **Generic Case** if, for every pair of vectors g,fQn+1g, f \in \mathbb{Q}^{n+1} such that S=P(g)+P!(f)S = P(g) + P!(f), the symmetric trilinear form A\mathcal{A} satisfies: \[ \mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) \neq 0 \] where A(x,y,z)=ixiyizi\mathcal{A}(x, y, z) = \sum_{i} x_i y_i z_i is the trilinear form associated with the cubic anomaly, and P(g)P(g) and P!(f)P!(f) are the mappings of the parameter vectors into the charge space.

theorem

Existence of a Non-Zero Trilinear Form A(P(g),P(g),P!(f))\mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) Implies Generic Case of Solution SS

#genericCase_exists

Let SS be a solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions for a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+32n+3 fermions. If there exist rational parameter vectors g,fQn+1g, f \in \mathbb{Q}^{n+1} such that the charge vector SS can be decomposed as S=P(g)+P!(f)S = P(g) + P!(f) and the symmetric trilinear form A(x,y,z)=ixiyizi\mathcal{A}(x, y, z) = \sum_i x_i y_i z_i satisfies A(P(g),P(g),P!(f))0\mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) \neq 0, then SS satisfies the condition for the Generic Case.

definition

Special case for an anomaly solution SS where A(P(g),P(g),P!(f))=0\mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) = 0

#SpecialCase

Let SS be a solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions (ACC) for a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+32n+3 Weyl fermions (where n+1n+1 is the dimension of the parameterizing subspaces). The solution SS is said to be in the **special case** if, for every pair of rational vectors g,fQn+1g, f \in \mathbb{Q}^{n+1} such that the charge vector of SS can be decomposed as S=P(g)+P!(f)S = P(g) + P!(f), the symmetric trilinear form A\mathcal{A} associated with the cubic anomaly satisfies: \[ \mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) = 0 \] where A(x,y,z)=ixiyizi\mathcal{A}(x, y, z) = \sum_i x_i y_i z_i, and P,P!:Qn+1Q2n+3P, P!: \mathbb{Q}^{n+1} \to \mathbb{Q}^{2n+3} are the linear maps embedding the parameter vectors into the space of charges.

theorem

An anomaly solution SS is in the Special Case if A(P(g),P(g),P!(f))=0\mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) = 0 for some decomposition S=P(g)+P!(f)S = P(g) + P!(f).

#specialCase_exists

Let SS be a solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions for a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+32n+3 fermions, where SS is represented by a vector of rational charges in Q2n+3\mathbb{Q}^{2n+3} satisfying xi=0\sum x_i = 0 and xi3=0\sum x_i^3 = 0. Suppose there exist coefficient vectors g,fQn+1g, f \in \mathbb{Q}^{n+1} such that the charge vector of SS can be expressed as the sum of points in the two linear solution planes, S=P(g)+P!(f)S = P(g) + P!(f), and the symmetric trilinear form A(x,y,z)=ixiyizi\mathcal{A}(x, y, z) = \sum_i x_i y_i z_i satisfies A(P(g),P(g),P!(f))=0\mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) = 0. Then SS satisfies the condition for the **Special Case** in the classification of odd-dimensional anomaly solutions.

theorem

An Anomaly Solution SS is either a Generic Case or a Special Case

#generic_or_special

Let SS be a solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions for a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+32n+3 Weyl fermions (nNn \in \mathbb{N}), where the solution consists of a vector of rational charges xQ2n+3x \in \mathbb{Q}^{2n+3} satisfying xi=0\sum x_i = 0 and xi3=0\sum x_i^3 = 0. Then SS satisfies either the **Generic Case** condition or the **Special Case** condition. Specifically, for any decomposition of the charge vector as x=P(g)+P!(f)x = P(g) + P!(f) with g,fQn+1g, f \in \mathbb{Q}^{n+1}, it must hold that either the symmetric trilinear form A(P(g),P(g),P!(f))0\mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) \neq 0 (Generic Case) or A(P(g),P(g),P!(f))=0\mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) = 0 (Special Case), where A(u,v,w)=iuiviwi\mathcal{A}(u, v, w) = \sum_i u_i v_i w_i.

theorem

Generic solutions to the U(1)U(1) ACC for 2n+32n+3 fermions are representable by the parameterization of g,f,ag, f, a

#generic_case

Consider a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+32n+3 Weyl fermions (nNn \in \mathbb{N}). Let SS be a solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions, which consist of a vector of rational charges xQ2n+3x \in \mathbb{Q}^{2n+3} satisfying ixi=0\sum_i x_i = 0 (gravitational anomaly) and ixi3=0\sum_i x_i^3 = 0 (gauge anomaly). If SS is in the **Generic Case**—meaning that for any decomposition of its charge vector as x=P(g)+P!(f)x = P(g) + P!(f) with g,fQn+1g, f \in \mathbb{Q}^{n+1}, the symmetric trilinear form satisfies A(P(g),P(g),P!(f))0\mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) \neq 0—then SS can be represented by the parameterization. Specifically, there exists a rational scalar aQa \in \mathbb{Q} and parameter vectors g,fQn+1g, f \in \mathbb{Q}^{n+1} such that \[ S = a \cdot \left( \mathcal{A}(P!(f), P!(f), P(g)) \cdot P(g) - \mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) \cdot P!(f) \right) \] where P(g)P(g) and P!(f)P!(f) are the standard embeddings of the parameter vectors into the charge space and A(u,v,w)=iuiviwi\mathcal{A}(u, v, w) = \sum_i u_i v_i w_i.

theorem

Special Case Solutions satisfy the Line in Cubic Property

#special_case_lineInCubic

Consider a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+32n+3 Weyl fermions (nNn \in \mathbb{N}). Let SS be a solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions (ACC), which consist of a charge vector xQ2n+3x \in \mathbb{Q}^{2n+3} such that i=12n+3xi=0\sum_{i=1}^{2n+3} x_i = 0 and i=12n+3xi3=0\sum_{i=1}^{2n+3} x_i^3 = 0. If SS satisfies the "special case" condition—meaning that for any decomposition of its charge vector as x=P(g)+P!(f)x = P(g) + P!(f) (where g,fQn+1g, f \in \mathbb{Q}^{n+1} are parameter vectors), the symmetric trilinear form A(x,y,z)=ixiyizi\mathcal{A}(x, y, z) = \sum_i x_i y_i z_i satisfies A(P(g),P(g),P!(f))=0\mathcal{A}(P(g), P(g), P!(f)) = 0—then SS also satisfies the "line in cubic" property. This property states that every linear combination of the vectors P(g)P(g) and P!(f)P!(f) is a solution to the cubic anomaly cancellation condition: \[ \sum_{i=1}^{2n+3} (a P(g)_i + b P!(f)_i)^3 = 0 \] for all rational coefficients a,bQa, b \in \mathbb{Q}.

theorem

Permutations of Special Case Solutions satisfy the Line in Cubic Property

#special_case_lineInCubic_perm

Consider a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with 2n+32n+3 Weyl fermions (nNn \in \mathbb{N}). Let SS be a solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions (ACC), consisting of a charge vector xQ2n+3x \in \mathbb{Q}^{2n+3} such that i=12n+3xi=0\sum_{i=1}^{2n+3} x_i = 0 and i=12n+3xi3=0\sum_{i=1}^{2n+3} x_i^3 = 0. If every permutation σ\sigma of the charge vector xx satisfies the "special case" property—meaning that for every decomposition of the permuted vector σ(x)=P(g)+P!(f)\sigma(x) = P(g) + P!(f), the symmetric trilinear form satisfies i=12n+3P(g)i2P!(f)i=0\sum_{i=1}^{2n+3} P(g)_i^2 P!(f)_i = 0—then the solution SS satisfies the `LineInCubicPerm` property. This implies that for every permutation σS2n+3\sigma \in S_{2n+3}, any linear combination of the parameter vectors P(g)P(g) and P!(f)P!(f) associated with σ(x)\sigma(x) is itself a solution to the cubic anomaly equation: \[ \sum_{i=1}^{2n+3} (a P(g)_i + b P!(f)_i)^3 = 0 \] for all a,bQa, b \in \mathbb{Q}.

theorem

A solution SS is zero if all its permutations satisfy the Special Case property for N5N \ge 5 odd

#special_case

Consider a pure U(1)U(1) gauge theory with an odd number of fermions N=2(n+2)+1N = 2(n+2)+1 for nNn \in \mathbb{N} (specifically N5N \ge 5). Let SS be a solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions, consisting of a charge vector xQNx \in \mathbb{Q}^N such that i=1Nxi=0\sum_{i=1}^N x_i = 0 and i=1Nxi3=0\sum_{i=1}^N x_i^3 = 0. If every permutation σSN\sigma \in S_N of the charge vector xx satisfies the "special case" property—meaning that for every decomposition of the permuted vector σ(x)=P(g)+P!(f)\sigma(x) = P(g) + P!(f), the symmetric trilinear form satisfies i=1NP(g)i2P!(f)i=0\sum_{i=1}^N P(g)_i^2 P!(f)_i = 0—then the solution SS must be the zero vector, i.e., x=(0,,0)x = (0, \dots, 0).
