  9. In short … 3 viewpoints : • Meaningless, unphysical discussions • No unique definitionill-definedproblem • There is a unique «physical» decomposition • Missingfundamentalprinciple in standard approach • Matter of convention and convenience • Measuredquantities are unique BUT physicalinterpretationisnot unique

In short … 3 viewpoints : • Meaningless, unphysical discussions • No unique definitionill-definedproblem • There is a unique «physical» decomposition • Missingfundamentalprinciple in standard approach • Matter of convention and convenience • Measuredquantities are unique BUT physicalinterpretationisnot unique

  11. Back to basics AM decompositionis a complicated story Let’s have a glimpse …

  12. Back to basics Classicalmechanics Free pointlikeparticle Total AM isconserved but not unique !

  13. Back to basics Classicalmechanics Free composite particle CM motion canbeseparated

  14. Back to basics Classicalmechanics Internal AM Option 1 : Boost invariance Uniqueness Option 2 : Boost invariance Uniqueness Conventionalchoice : Option 2 with The quantityisboost-invariant BUT itsphysicalinterpretationis simple only in the CM frame !

  15. Back to basics Classicalmechanics Boost-invariant extension (BIE) Frame-dependentquantity (e.g. ) Frame

  16. Back to basics Classicalmechanics Boost-invariant extension (BIE) Frame-dependentquantity (e.g. ) (e.g. ) BIE1 Frame CM «Natural» frames

  17. Back to basics Classicalmechanics Boost-invariant extension (BIE) Frame-dependentquantity (e.g. ) BIE2 (e.g. ) BIE1 Frame CM «Natural» frames

  18. Back to basics Classicalelectrodynamics Chargedpointlikeparticle in externalmagneticfield AM conservation ???

  19. Back to basics Classicalelectrodynamics Chargedpointlikeparticle in externalmagneticfield «Hidden» kinetic AM Conserved canonical AM Kinetic and canonical AM are different System = matter + radiation Ambiguous !

  20. Back to basics Quantum mechanics Pointlikeparticleatrest has intrinsic AM (spin) AM isquantized All components cannotbesimultaneouslymeasured In general, onlyisconserved

  21. Back to basics Quantum mechanics Expectation values are in general not quantized Composite particleatrest Quantum average

  22. Back to basics Specialrelativity Lorentz boosts do not commute Rest frame «Standard» boost Moving frame Spin uniquelydefined in the rest frame only !

  23. Back to basics Specialrelativity Relativistic mass is frame-dependent Lorentz contraction Relativity of simultaneity No (complete) separation of CM coordinatesfrominternalcoordinates !

  24. Back to basics Specialrelativity Lorentz-invariant extension (LIE) Frame-dependentquantity (e.g. ) LIE2 (e.g. ) LIE1 Frame Rest «Natural» frames

  25. Back to basics Gauge theory Gauge non-invariant […] in QCD we should make clear what a quark or gluon parton is in an interacting theory. The subtlety here is in the issue of gauge invariance: a pure quark field in one gauge is a superposition of quarks and gluons in another. Different ways of gluon field gauge fixing predetermine different decompositions of the coupled quark-gluon fields into quark and gluon degrees of freedom. [Bashinsky, Jaffe (1998)] Gauge invariant A choice of gauge is a choice of basis

  26. Back to basics Gauge theory Analogywithintegration «Gauge» 1 «Gauge» 2 Riemann Lebesgue Which one is «physical» ? Somewouldsay : Otherswouldsay: None! Only the total area under the curvemakessense Both! Choosing one or anotheris a matter of convenience

  27. Back to basics Gauge theory 3 strategies : Consideronly simple (local) gauge-invariant quantities Relate thesequantities to observables Try to find an interpretation (optional) Fix the gauge Considerquantitieswith simple interpretation Try to find the corresponding observables Define new complicated (non-local) gauge-invariant quantities Considerquantitieswith simple interpretation Try to find the corresponding observables

  28. Back to basics Gauge theory Gauge-invariant extension (GIE) Gauge non-invariant quantity (e.g. ) GIE2 (e.g. ) GIE1 [Dirac (1955)] Gauge Coulomb «Natural» gauges

  29. Back to basics Gauge theory InfinitelymanyGIEs Uniqueness issue […] one can generalize a gauge variant nonlocal operator […] to more than one gauge invariant expressions, raising the problem of deciding which is the “true” one. [Bashinsky, Jaffe (1998)] SomeGIEs are neverthelessmeasurable In other words, the gauge-invariant extension of the gluon spin in light-cone gauge can be measured. Note that one can easily find gauge-invariant extensions of the gluon spin in other gauges. But we may not always find an experimental observable which reduces to the gluon spin in these gauges. [Hoodbhoy, Ji (1999)]

  30. Back to basics Additional issues • Time dependence and interaction • Forms of dynamics • Scaleand schemedependence • Should Lorentz invariance bemanifest ? • Quantum gauge transformation • Surface terms • Evolution equation • How are differentGIEsrelated ? • Should the energy-momentumtensorbesymmetric ? • Topologicaleffects ? • Longitudinal vs transverse • … As promised, itisprettycomplicated …
