4. Dirac Fermion Fukuyama 83 Let ψ be an SO(2, 3)(SO(1, 4)) Dirac fermion. SO(2, 3) (AdS) An SO(2, 3) invariant Dirac spinor action is defined as L Dirac = ϵ ABCDE ϵ µνρσ ψ ( is AB D µ 3! iλ Z A il D µ Z B 4! where S AB 1 4i [γ(ads) A, γ (AdS) B], and λ is a mass. ) ψd ν Z C D ρ Z D D σ Z E ψ ψ γ (AdS) 5γ (AdS) 4 12

By the symmetry breaking Z A = (0, 0, 0, 0, il) from SO(2, 3) to SO(1, 3), L Dirac reduces to the Dirac action in the four-dimensional curved spacetime L Dirac = e ψ ( γ a e µa ) ( D µ + λ ψ, = e ψ 1 ( 2 eµa γ ad µ ) D µ γ a ) + λ ψ, ψ = ψ γ 4. where γ a iγ (AdS) 5γ (AdS) a, γ 5 γ (AdS) 5. γ (AdS) a iγ 5 γ a, γ (AdS) 5 γ 5. 13

which is P± 2 = P ± and P + P = 0. We define ψ ± P ± ψ. If we break the SO(2, 3) symmetry Z A = (0, 0, 0, 0, il), P ± reduces to the chiral projections P ± P ± P ± = 1 ± γ(ads) 5 2 = 1 ± γ 5. 2 Then, ψ ± becomes Weyl spinors ψ ± ψ ± ψ ± = P ± ψ, 17

respectively, which have definite chirality.

P ± reduces to chiral projections P ± P ± P ± = 1 ± γ(ds) 5 2 = 1 ± γ 5. 2 Then ψ ± becomes Weyl fermions ψ ±, ψ ± ψ ± = P ± ψ, respectively, which have definite chirality. We can construct SO(1, 4) invariant action by modifying the Dirac action 20

6. Majorana Fermion SO(1, 3) 4D Majorana fermion ψ M ψ M = ψ c M C ψ T M, C is the charge conjugation in SO(1, 3). If we take the Dirac (Pauli) basis, C is C = γ 2 γ 4. However, C is not covariant under either SO(2, 3) or SO(1, 4). ψ M is not consistent with the SO(2, 3) (SO(1, 4)) covariance. If a charge conjugation is defined, a Majorana fermion can be defined. 22

Conditions for SO(2, 3) or SO(1, 4) charge conjugation C 1. C 1 γ A C is covariant under the symmetry to be consistent with the action. C 1 γ A C = ±γ T A, is sufficient where the signatures are the same for all A. 2. B defined by Bψ M = C ψ T M must satisfy B B = 1, since a charge conjugation has a Z 2 symmetry. (B = γ 2 for SO(1, 3).) 3. C reduces to C = γ2 γ 4 by breaking the symmetry. 23

SO(2, 3) (AdS) The SO(2, 3) gamma matrices γ (AdS) A are constructed as γ (AdS) a iγ 5 γ a, γ (AdS) 5 γ 5, From the condition 1, we have two candidates C 1 = γ (AdS) 1γ (AdS) 3γ (AdS) 5, C 2 = γ (AdS) 2γ (AdS) 4. C 2 = γ (AdS) 2γ (AdS) 4 = γ 2 γ 4 is equal to the SO(1, 3) charge conjugation Therefore C 2 satisfies the condition 2 and 3. Note that C = C 2 is not a 25

charge conjugation in the SO(2, 3) representation. fermion ψ M is defined by Therefore AdS Majorana ψ M = C ψ T M = C 2 ψt M. SO(2, 3) invariant AdS Majorana fermion action L Majorana = ϵ ABCDE ϵ µνρσ ψm ( is AB D µ 3! iλ Z A il D µ Z B 4! ) ψ M D ν Z C D ρ Z D D σ Z E Let us investigate the consistency of this action. Substituting ψ M = C 2 ψt M, to 26

the right-hand of the action, we obtain ϵ ABCDE ϵ µνρσ ( ψ T M( C T ) 1) ( is AB D µ 3! iλ Z A il D µ Z B 4! ) ( ) C ψt M D ν Z C D ρ Z D D σ Z E. We can easily check that = L Majorana. Thus, the definition of the charge conjugation is consistent with the action. If we break the SO(2, 3) symmetry by Z A = (0, 0, 0, 0, il), the action reduces to an SO(1, 3) Majorana fermion action in the Einstein gravitational theory in four dimensions L Majorana = e ψ M (γ a e µa ) D µ + λ ψ M. 27

Now, we consider a third candidate: C 5 ( Z A γ (ds) A l + ) Z2 l 2 i γ (ds) 2γ (ds) 4γ (ds) 5. l 2 This satisfies the condition 1. Condition 2. B 5B 5 = 1 ( B 5 = ( Z A γ (ds) A l + Condition 3.

We can easily check that = L Majorana. If we break the SO(1, 4) symmetry by Z A = (0, 0, 0, 0, l), the action becomes the Majorana fermion action in the Einstein gravitational theory in four dimensions L Majorana = e ψ M (γ a e µa ) D µ + λ ψ M, 31
