A theory that is asymmetric with respect to chiralities is called a chiral theory, while a non-chiral (i.e., parity-symmetric) theory is sometimes called a vector theory. Many pieces of the Standard Model of physics are non-chiral, which is traceable to anomaly cancellation in chiral theories.
The non-chiral Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model (=), can be associated with symmetry class BDI with an integer topological invariant due to gauge invariance. [6] [7] The problem is similar to the integer quantum Hall effect and the quantum anomalous Hall effect (both in =) which are A class, with integer Chern number.
Standard Model of Particle Physics. The diagram shows the elementary particles of the Standard Model (the Higgs boson, the three generations of quarks and leptons, and the gauge bosons), including their names, masses, spins, charges, chiralities, and interactions with the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces.
A chiral molecule is a type of molecule that has a non-superposable mirror image. The feature that is most often the cause of chirality in molecules is the presence of an asymmetric carbon atom. [16] [17] The term "chiral" in general is used to describe the object that is non-superposable on its mirror image. [18]
At low energies, type IIA string theory is described by type IIA supergravity in ten dimensions which is a non-chiral theory (i.e. left–right symmetric) with (1,1) d=10 supersymmetry; the fact that the anomalies in this theory cancel is therefore trivial.
The low-energy effective field theory of type IIA string theory is given by type IIA supergravity. [ 15 ] : 187 The fields correspond to the different massless excitations of the string, with the metric, 2-form B {\displaystyle B} , and dilaton being NSNS states that are found in all string theories, while the 3-form and 1-form fields ...
In mathematical physics, nonlinear realization of a Lie group G possessing a Cartan subgroup H is a particular induced representation of G. In fact, it is a representation of a Lie algebra of G in a neighborhood of its origin. A nonlinear realization, when restricted to the subgroup H reduces to a linear representation.
There are actually two kinds of type II strings called type IIA and type IIB. They differ mainly in the fact that the IIA theory is non-chiral (parity conserving) while the IIB theory is chiral (parity violating). The heterotic string theories are based on a peculiar hybrid of a type I superstring and a bosonic string.
