Constrained partition functions and the antisymmetric tensor field

We consider the case when the spatial topology of the Universe is that of a torus with metric {ital g}{sub {ital i}{ital j}}. We form an expression for the density of states under the constraint that the total momentum and winding number are zero. To accomplish this we introduce nonzero values of {i...

Zusammenfassung:We consider the case when the spatial topology of the Universe is that of a torus with metric {ital g}{sub {ital i}{ital j}}. We form an expression for the density of states under the constraint that the total momentum and winding number are zero. To accomplish this we introduce nonzero values of {ital g}{sub 00}, {ital g}{sub 0{ital i}}, and {ital B}{sub 0{ital i}} in the imaginary-time formalism and integrate over all such values.
