Iran Abstract We study the effect of the the simplest geometry which is imposed via the topology of the universe by gauging non-relativistic particle model on torus and 3-torus with the help of symplectic formalism of constrained systems. Also, we obtain generators of gauge trans- formations for gauged models. Extracting corresponding Poisson structure of existed constraints, we show the effect of the shape of the universe on canonical structure of phase-spaces of models and suggest some phenomenology to prove the topology of the universe and probable non-commutative structure of the space. In addition, we show that the number of extra dimensions in the phase-spaces of gauged embedded models are exactly two. Moreover, in classical form, we talk over modification of Newton’s second law in order to study the origin of the terms appeared in the gauged theory. 1
2 1Introduction 1.1Why torus? The torus universe model or the doughnut theory of the universe, is the model which describes the universe as a doughnut, having surface with topology1of a three dimensional torus. Historically, the first explana- tions of the shape of the universe were proposed in the mid 60s, after the discovery of CMB by Starobinsky and Zeldovich [1]. In experimental point of view, data of cosmos radiation measure- ments gathered by satellite COBE, shows small discrepancies in tem- perature fluctuation.This shows that the universe consists of regions of varying densities. Stenemse and Silk proposed that this paradox, i.e. the isotropic universe with different regional densities, suggests that uni- verse may have a complicated geometric structure [2].In other words, these fluctuations show that multiply connected universes are possible, and the simplest one is a 3-torus [2, 3]. Also, simulations of CMB map and the angular power spectrum of temperature fluctuations, consider- ing the torus topology, and comparing them with the observations of the COBE satellite in order to obtain the lower limit of universe size, suggest that we live in a small universe [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. On the other hand, although there is no statistically significant evi- dence to support what the topology of the universe would be, there are some suggestions which talk over a 3-torus as the probable shape of the universe [9, 10, 11, 12, 13]. Moreover, data gathered by WMAP satellite shows more intense CMB across one plane of the universe in comparison with others, which forms a straight line in the universe. Where radiation surpasses its quota for the size of the plane seen, one can say that the universe has over- flowed in that direction and creates a plane in other directions. Thereby, the invisible loop of a torus may have been created perpendicular to the direction of the plane.Thus, the analysed CMB maps from data ob- tained from WMAP has released some results in favour of a torus form of the universe [1, 14, 15].Measurements of WMAP shows that the universe is flat with only 0.4% margins of error. On the other hand, flat universes with boundaries or edges are not desired mathematically, and thus, they are excluded from consideration.Although there are some finite compact universe models without boundaries, the torus universe is the one which explains an overall flat and a finite universe [16]. 1The word topology in this article is used as the global shape and characteris- tics of the universe and we do not intended its pure mathematical definition, where properties of space that are preserved under continuous deformations are studies.
3 Theoretically, string theory and also theories considering extra large dimensions suggest that we live in a universe with higher dimensions of space-time and most of the modern cosmological models are founded on such assumptions.Moreover, the problems of the standard cosmology are avoided, considering higher dimensional spacetime, and also most of the predictions of the inflation cosmology are fulfilled via these ap- proaches [17, 18, 19]. In order to combine topological theories and extra large dimensions universe, it has been shown that cyclic universe models can be acquired in a toroidal spacetime which is embedded in a five-dimensional bulk with large extra dimensions, and the three dimensional space has been shown as a closed ring, moving on the surface of the torus [20, 21]. If we expect that the universe has topology of a torus, we can con- struct a gauge theory, using the Lagrangian of a particle on the torus, and quantize such a gauge theory, and extract its gauge transformation relations.Our goal to study the motion of a non-relativistic particle on a torus and gauging that model is to obtain a configuration space with extra dimensions. As we know, studying the motion of a free par- ticle is the most powerful laboratory, in which we can test whether the torus universe exists or not. Making such gauge theories and studying its Hamiltonian spectrum may help us to understand the real topology of the universe. Moreover, with investigating the final obtained phase- space, one can check the commutativity and non-commutativity of the universe.In addition, we can determine the ratio of two diameters of the torus. Another point of view in which we can study the constructed classical theory on a torus is the modification of Newton’s law, that talks over the corrections added to the Newtonian classical mechanics. In the common Poisson structure, Hamiltonian equations of motion and Newton laws are equivalent [22]. In this article, we construct a classical theory which has an unusual Poisson structure due to its constrained structure. This Poisson structure adds some additional terms to the Hamiltonian and consequently to the equations corresponding Newton’s second law which can be studied via the MOND phenomenological theory. Our tool to construct a gauge theory which reduces to a particle on the torus after gauge fixing is the symplectic gauge analysis approach will be discussed later. 1.2Gauge theories and constraints As we know, gauge invariance is one of the most significant and practi- cal concepts in theoretical physics.This concept is the cornerstone of
4 the standard model of elementary particles. Gauge invariance is due to the presence of the important physical variables which are independent of local reference frames [23].Whenever a change is applied in an ar- bitrary reference frame, which makes changes in such variables, gauge transformation occurs. Such physical variables are called gauge invariant variables. Generally, we deal with gauge invariance, or in other words, local invariance, which produces gauge bosons in fundamental interactions. As a physical law, the existence of (local) gauge symmetry in particle physics is the sign of the presence of interactions [24]. It is very important to know that quantization of gauge theories entails a particular prudence, because of the presence of gauge symme- try exist some nonphysical degrees of freedom that must be eliminated before and after the quantization is applied [25]. On the other hand, in a gauge theory, the equations of motion are not able to determine the dynamics of the system thoroughly at every moment. Thus, one of the most particular features of a gauge theory is the emergence of arbitrary time dependent functions in general solutions of the equations of motion. The emergence of such time dependent func- tions is accompanied by the relations between phase-space coordinates, which are called constraints [23, 26]. In order to quantize such systems, identities between phase-space coordinates are classified into two main groups by Dirac [27]. The first group are identities which are present in phase-space, similar to a co- ordinate or a momentum variable.These identities, which transform the physical system without any changes in phase-space, are called first- class constraints, and according to Dirac’s guess are generators of gauge transformations in phase-space.The second group are not related to any degree of freedom and must be removed.Presence of such identi- ties, which are called second-class constraints, indicates the absence of gauge symmetry in the system. Therefore, to gauge a system, contain- ing second-class constraints, we must transform them to first-class ones, as a first step [28, 29]. There are some approaches to perform such a conversion, like BFT method [30, 31, 32, 33, 34], the symplectic formalism [25, 35, 36, 37], and the Noether dualization technique [38, 39, 40].As we mentioned before, in order to gauge a system with second-class constraints, we use the symplectic approach in order to embed a non-invariant system in an extended phase-space [41, 42, 43].
5 1.3Symplectic Formalism Symplectic formalism was introduced by Faddeev and Jackiw [35], to avoid consistency problems which spoil the Poisson brackets algebra and consequently fail any quantization techniques in constrained systems [44, 45].The mathematics of this formalism is based on the symplec- tic structure of the phase-space, and therefore, is different from other approaches.Also, in the symplectic formalism there is no distinction between the first and second-class constraints as in the case of the other quantization procedures [37]. The starting point of the symplectic approach is a Lagrangian which is first order in the time derivatives. All second order Lagrangian terms can be converted to first order ones by enlarging the corresponding con- figuration space so that it includes the conjugate momentum of the co- ordinate variables [46]. Being dependent only on first order Lagrangian makes the symplectic approach independent from the classification of the constraints into primary, secondary, etc. [47]. In this approach, in- stead of solving the constraints, one adds their time derivatives to the La- grangian and considers corresponding Lagrange multipliers as additional coordinates [49]. Also, to convert the nature of second-class constraints to first ones, the phase-space would be extended with the help of Wess- Zumino variables [50].After such a conversion, choosing conventional zero-modes which are generators of gauge transformations and obey par- ticular boundary conditions, one can eliminate Wess-Zumino variables, which makes the gauged model equivalent to the original system [51]. 2Gauging a non-relativistic particle model on the torus 2.1Particle on the torus In the first part of this article we assume a non-relativistic particle on a torus in a three-dimensional configuration space as a toy model. Consid- ering this model, the particle lives on a two-dimensional configuration space, effectively. After our gauging process, we will see that at least one dimension is added to the previous configuration space, which makes its space more realistic. In all sections of this article we get the radii of the torus 1 andς, in order to use dimensionless coordinates. Thus, in spherical coordinates,
6 the surface of a torus is defined by x=(1 +ςcosθ) cosϕ y=(1 +ςcosθ) sinϕ z=ςsinθ(1) The surface of the torus is described by primary constraintφ1= 0 in configuration space for free particle on it. φ1(r, θ) =r2−2ςcosθ−(1 +ς2),(2) where,r2=x2+y2+z2. In this coordinate canonical Hamiltonian for unit mass is Hc= 1 2 (p2 r+p2 θ r2+p2 ϕ r2sin2θ).(3) In formal constrained analysis we arrive to secondary (final) con- straint in phase-space as φ2(r, θ, pr, pθ) = 2(rpr+ςpθsinθ r2).(4) The set of constraints form a second-class system with non-constant ∆ matrix as ∆12= 4(r2+ς2sin2θ r2),(5) which makes its embedding by BFT method problematic.This is the reason that we use the symplectic approach, which is not affected by the Poisson structure of second-class constraints. 2.2Symplectic analysis of a particle on the torus Constructing first-class models from a singular Lagrangian is more straight- forward in the symplectic formalism than other similar approaches. This is done by embedding the primary model in an extended phase-space. In this model, the singularity nature of the free particle Lagrangian due to its configuration constraint,φ1(r, θ), can be imposed by a new dynamical variable (say undetermined Lagrange multiplier)λ, in such a way that adds the constraints to the free Lagrangian, L(0)= ˙rpr+ ˙θpθ+ ˙ϕpϕ−Hc−λ1φ1(r, θ).(6)
