✦ Synopsis

The concept ofa holonomy term in a Lagrangian is introduced. It unifies the idea of the interaction term in the Dirac monopole and the Wess-Zumino term. In particular, it provides a dynamical interpretation of the Kac-Moody cocycle on a loop group.

0. Introduction

In this Letter we describe the concept of a holonomy term in a Lagrangian. This unifies the idea of the interaction term in the Dirac monopole and the Wess-Zumino terms as described by Witten. In particular, it provides a dynamical interpretation of the K a c -M o o d y cocycle on a loop group.

Recently, Kovner and Lublinsky proposed new small-x QCD evolution equations valid when the gluon density inside the target is low. The key element of their construction is the Wess-Zumino term which ensures the non-commutativity of valence charges. In this paper we clarify the origin and significanc
