Vacuum Expectation Values of Products of Chiral Currents in 3+1 Dimensions
Abstract
An algebraic rule is presented for computing expectation values of products of local nonabelian charge operators for fermions coupled to an external vector potential in 3+1 space-time dimensions. The vacuum expectation value of a product of four operators is closely related to a cyclic cocycle in noncommutative geometry of Alain Connes. The relevant representation of the current is constructed using Kirillov's method of coadjoint orbits.
