Title: Conformally covariant coupled non-linear field theory on the hypercone: Vacuum solutions and quantization of normal modes

Journal Article · · Mod. Phys. Lett. A; (United States)

For the conformally covariant coupled non-linear spinor-scalar field of the sigma-model type the authors show that the non-trivial vacuum instanton solutions have a geometric meaning as constant spinors on the five-dimensional hypercone. The quantized fields around these solutions correspond to the normal modes of the hypercone. A connection is thus established between field theory, particle spectrum of the fields and quantized excitations of a geometry (the hypercone).
