Preferred Invariant Symplectic Connections on Compact Coadjoint Orbits

Let be the Haag--Kastler net generated by the (2) chiral current algebra at level 1. We classify the SL(2, )-covariant subsystems by showing that they are all fixed points nets ^H for some subgroup H of the gauge automorphisms group SO(3) of . Then, using the fact that the net ₁ generated by the (1) chiral current can be regarded as a subsystem of , we classify the subsystems of ₁. In this case, there are two distinct proper subsystems: the one generated by the energy-momentum tensor and the gauge invariant subsystem .     

Slepton and squark production and decay inep collisions at the LHC

We present a detailed study of and and the subsequent decays of , , and at the LHC . We explore the relevant supersymmetry parameter range. We calculate the cross sections as well as the rates for interesting signatures such as the production of one or two leptons on the lepton side.     

A mathematical condition for a sublattice of a propositional system to represent a physical subsystem,with a physical interpretation

We display three equivalent conditions for a sublattice, isomorphic to aP , of the propositional systemP() of a quantum system to be the representation of a physical subsystem (see [1]). These conditions are valid for dim 3. We prove that one of them is still necessary and sufficient if dim <3. A physical interpretation of this condition is given.Wetenschappelijke medewerkers bij het Interuniversitair Instituut voor Kernwetenschappen (in het kader van navorsingsprogramma 21 EN).     

Minimal affinizations of representations of quantum groups: the irregular case

Let be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra and U_q( ) the associated quantum group (q is a nonzero complex number which we assume is transcendental). IfV is a finitedimensional irreducible representation of U_q( ), an affinization ofV is an irreducible representationVV of the quantum affine algebra U_q( ) which containsV with multiplicity one and is such that all other irreducible U_q( )-components ofV have highest weight strictly smaller than the highest weight ofV. There is a natural partial order on the set of U_q( ) classes of affinizations, and we look for the minimal one(s). In earlier papers, we showed that (i) if is of typeA, B, C, F orG, the minimal affinization is unique up to U_q( )-isomorphism; (ii) if is of typeD orE and is not orthogonal to the triple node of the Dynkin diagram of , there are either one or three minimal affinizations (depending on ). In this paper, we show, in contrast to the regular case, that if U_q( ) is of typeD ₄ and is orthogonal to the triple node, the number of minimal affinizations has no upper bound independent of .As a by-product of our methods, we disprove a conjecture according to which, if is of typeA _n,every affinization is isomorphic to a tensor product of representations of U_q( ) which are irreducible under U_q( ) (in an earlier paper, we proved this conjecture whenn=1).Both authors were partially supported by the NSF, DMS-9207701.     

Integrals of Vertex Operators and uantum Shuffles

Given a braided vector space , we show that iterated integrals of operator-valued functions satisfying a certain exchange relation give rise to representations of the quantum shuffle algebra built on . Using the quantum shuffle construction of the 'upper triangular part' of a quantum shuffle, this provides a simple proof of the result of Bouwknegt, MacCarthy and Pilch saying that integrals of vertex operators acting on certain Fock modules give rise to representations of .     

BV Structure of the Cohomology of Nilpotent Subalgebras and the Geometry of(W) Strings

Given a simple, simply laced, complex Lie algebra corresponding to the Lie group G, let be thesubalgebra generated by the positive roots. In this Letter we construct aBV algebra whose underlying graded commutative algebra is given by the cohomology, with respect to , of the algebra of regular functions on G with values in . We conjecture that describes the algebra of allphysical (i.e., BRST invariant) operators of the noncritical string. The conjecture is verified in the two explicitly known cases, ₂ (the Virasoro string) and ₃ (the string).     

Minimal Model Fusion Rules From 2-Groups

The fusion rules for the (p,q)-minimal model representations of the Virasoro algebra are shown to come from the group in the following manner. There is a partition into disjoint subsets and a bijection between and the sectors of the (p,q)-minimal model such that the fusion rules correspond to where .     

On the Product of Real Spectral Triples

The product of two real spectral triples and , the first of which is necessarily even, was defined by A.Connes as given by and, in the even-even case, by . Generically it is assumed that the real structure obeys the relations , , , where the -sign table depends on the dimension n modulo 8 of the spectral triple. If both spectral triples obey Connes' >-sign table, it is seen that their product, defined in the straightforward way above, does not necessarily obey this -sign table. In this Letter, we propose an alternative definition of the product real structure such that the -sign table is also satisfied by the product.     

The microstructure of electrodeposited amorphous or microcrystalline Fe-P alloys

Dependent on is produced through electrodeposition in three modifications: microcrystalline if , amorphous if and in a mixed state containing both components if . The interpretation of results of large and small angle X-ray scattering, of measurements of the coercivity and of the mechanical density shows that the three modifications consist of two phases. The structure of the grain boundary phase in the microcrystalline alloys differs considerably from that of the amorphous phase. This arises from the dependence of the atomic volume on the average phosphorus content . The volume fraction of the crystalline component decreases with increasing up to . But even in alloys revealing X-ray patterns without any peaks coming from crystalline particles small angle X-ray scattering indicates the existence of metal-rich inclusions occupying some percent of the total volume.

Resonance CARS detection of SiC2 as reaction intermediate in IR laser synthesis of SiC from SiH4/hydrocarbon mixtures

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering has been employed to investigate gas-phase reactions between SiH₄ and small hydrocarbons leading to formation of SiC powder. SiC₂ has been identified as reaction intermediate, due to the occurrence of resonance enhanced CARS coupling vibrational leavels in the ground and first electronically excited state. The rich structure observed in the range 4480 Å<_AS<4650 Å is assigned to SiC₂ taking into account the cyclic geometry of this species and revising former data on electronic transitions.ENEA Guest     

Universal R-Matrix for Esoteric Quantum Groups

The universal R-matrix for a class of esoteric (nonstandard) quantum groups q(gl(2N+1)) is constructed as a twisting of the universal R-matrix S of the Drinfeld–Nimbo quantum algebras. The main part of the twisting cocycle is chosen to be the canonical element of an appropriate pair of separated Hopf subalgebras (quantized Borel's (N) q (gl(2N+1))), providing the factorization property of . As a result, the esoteric quantum group generators can be expressed in terms of Drinfeld and Jimbo.     

On Continuous and Differential Hochschild Cohomology

We show that there are canonical isomorphisms between Hochschild cohomology spaces , where is the algebra of smooth functions on a manifold M and the space of skew multivector fields over M. This implies that continuous and differential deformation theories of coincide.

In thatcase, there are positive c ₁,c ₂ suchthat the corresponding eigenvalue satisfies for all sufficiently small.     

Classical Dynamical r-Matrices,Poisson Homogeneous Spaces,and Lagrangian Subalgebras

Lu has shown that any dynamical r-matrix for the pair ( , ) naturally induces a Poisson homogeneous structure on G/U. She also proved that if is complex simple, is its Cartan subalgebra and r is quasitriangular, then this correspondence is in fact one-to-one. In this Letter we find some general conditions under which the Lu correspondence is one-to-one. Then we apply this result to describe all triangular Poisson homogeneous structures on G/U for a simple complex group G and its reductive subgroup U containing a Cartan subgroup.     

A holomorphic field theory

Starting from conformal kinematics we show that the complex Minkowski space as a model of time-space is as good as the real one. A holomorphic field theory is constructed on and it is shown that real field theory is a linear approximation of the holomorphic one.     

\mathfrak{g}-Relative Star Products

We consider Kontsevich star products on the duals of Lie algebras. Such a star product is relative if, for any Lie algebra, its restriction to invariant polynomial functions is the usual pointwise product. Let be a fixed Lie algebra. We shall say that a Kontsevich star product is -relative if, on ^*, its restriction to invariant polynomial functions is the usual pointwise product. We prove that, if is a semi-simple Lie algebra, the only strict Kontsevich -relative star products are the relative (for every Lie algebras) Kontsevich star products.     

Deformation of current algebras in 3+1 dimensions

It was shown in an earlier paper that there is an Abelian extension of the general linear algebra gl ₂, that contains the current algebra with anomaly in 3+1 dimensions. We construct a three-parameter family of deformations of . For certain choices of the deformation parameters, we can construct unitary representations. We also construct highest-weight nonunitary representations for all choices of the parameters.This work was supported in part by U.S. Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC02-76ER13065.
