An elliptic quantum algebra for\widehat{s1}_2 2

An elliptic deformation of $\widehat{s1}_2 $ is proposed. Our presentation of the algebra is based on the relationRLL = LLR ^*, whereR andR ^* are eight-vertexR-matrices with the elliptic moduli chosen differently. In the trigonometric limit, this algebra reduces to a quotient of that proposed by Reshetikhin and Semenov-Tian-Shansky. Conjectures concerning highest-weight modules and vertex operators are formulated, and the physical interpretation ofR ^* is discussed.     

An $${n = \left( {1,1} \right)}$$ Super-Toda Model Based on OSp $$1|{\kern 1pt} 4$$

We show that a Hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie superalgebras having bosonic simple roots (such as OSp ) does produce supersymmetric Toda models, with superconformal symmetry being nonlinearly realized for those fields of the Toda system which are related to the bosonic simple roots of the superalgebra. A fermionic b-c system of conformal spin is a natural ingredient of such models.     

Probing neutrino and Higgs sectors in $$\text{ SU(2) }_1 \times \text{ SU(2) }_2 \times \text{ U(1) }_Y $$ model with lepton-flavor non-universality

The neutrino and Higgs sectors in the \(\text{ SU(2) }_1 \times \text{ SU(2) }_2 \times \text{ U(1) }_Y \) model with lepton-flavor non-universality are discussed. We show that active neutrinos can get Majorana masses from radiative corrections, after adding only new singly charged Higgs bosons. The mechanism for the generation of neutrino masses is the same as in the Zee models. This also gives a hint to solving the dark matter problem based on similar ways discussed recently in many radiative neutrino mass models with dark matter. Except the active neutrinos, the appearance of singly charged Higgs bosons and dark matter does not affect significantly the physical spectrum of all particles in the original model. We indicate this point by investigating the Higgs sector in both cases before and after singly charged scalars are added into it. Many interesting properties of physical Higgs bosons, which were not shown previously, are explored. In particular, the mass matrices of charged and CP-odd Higgs fields are proportional to the coefficient of triple Higgs coupling \(\mu \). The mass eigenstates and eigenvalues in the CP-even Higgs sector are also presented. All couplings of the SM-like Higgs boson to normal fermions and gauge bosons are different from the SM predictions by a factor \(c_h\), which must satisfy the recent global fit of experimental data, namely \(0.995<|c_h|<1\). We have analyzed a more general diagonalization of gauge boson mass matrices, then we show that the ratio of the tangents of the W–\(W'\) and Z–\(Z'\) mixing angles is exactly the cosine of the Weinberg angle, implying that number of parameters is reduced by 1. Signals of new physics from decays of new heavy fermions and Higgs bosons at LHC and constraints of their masses are also discussed.     

Wakimoto realization of drinfeld current for the elliptic quantum algebra Uq,p( $$ \widehat{sl_3 } $$ )

We study a free field realization of the elliptic quantum algebra U_q,p($ \widehat{sl_3 } $ \widehat{sl_3 } ) for arbitrary level k. We give the free field realization of elliptic analog of Drinfeld current associated with U_q,p($ \widehat{sl_3 } $ \widehat{sl_3 } ) for arbitrary level k. In the limit p → 0, q → 1 our realization reproduces Wakimoto realization for the affine Lie algebra $ \widehat{sl_3 } $ \widehat{sl_3 } .     

Sextonions,Zorn matrices,and $$\mathbf {e}_{\mathbf{7} \frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{2}}}$$

By exploiting suitably constrained Zorn matrices, we present a new construction of the algebra of sextonions (over the algebraically closed field \(\mathbb {C}\)). This allows for an explicit construction, in terms of Jordan pairs, of the non-semisimple Lie algebra \(\mathbf {e}_{\mathbf{7} \frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{2}}}\), intermediate between \(\mathbf {e_7}\) and \(\mathbf {e_8}\), as well as of all Lie algebras occurring in the sextonionic row and column of the extended Freudenthal Magic Square.     

BRST Resolution for the Principally Graded Wakimoto Module of $$\widehat{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_2 $$

BRST resolution is studied for the principally graded Wakimoto module of recently found in math.QA/0005203. The submodule structure is completely determined and irreducible representations can be obtained as the zero-th cohomology group.     

Gauge theory in deformed $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (1, 1) superspace

We review the non-anticommutative Q-deformations of = (1, 1) supersymmetric theories in four-dimensional Euclidean harmonic superspace. These deformations preserve chirality and harmonic Grassmann analyticity. The associated field theories arise as a low-energy limit of string theory in specific backgrounds and generalize the Moyal-deformed supersymmetric field theories. A characteristic feature of the Q-deformed theories is the half-breaking of supersymmetry in the chiral sector of the Euclidean superspace. Our main focus is on the chiral singlet Q-deformation, which is distinguished by preserving the SO(4) ∼ Spin(4) “Lorentz” symmetry and the SU(2) R-symmetry. We present the superfield and component structures of the deformed = (1, 0) supersymmetric gauge theory as well as of hypermultiplets coupled to a gauge superfield: invariant actions, deformed transformation rules, and so on. We discuss quantum aspects of these models and prove their renormalizability in the Abelian case. For the charged hypermultiplet in an Abelian gauge superfield background we construct the deformed holomorphic effective action. The text was submitted by the authors in English.

First-principle calculations of structural,electronic, optical,elastic and thermal properties of $$\hbox {MgXAs}_{2}$$ ($$\hbox {X}=\hbox {Si}, \hbox {Ge}$$X=Si,Ge) compounds

First-principle calculations on the structural, electronic, optical, elastic and thermal properties of the chalcopyrite \(\hbox {MgXAs}_{2}\) (\(\hbox {X}=\hbox {Si}, \hbox {Ge}\)) have been performed within the density functional theory (DFT) using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. The obtained equilibrium structural parameters are in good agreement with the available experimental data and theoretical results. The calculated band structures reveal a direct energy band gap for the interested compounds. The predicted band gaps using the modified Becke–Johnson (mBJ) exchange approximation are in fairly good agreement with the experimental data. The optical constants such as the dielectric function, refractive index, and the extinction coefficient are calculated and analysed. The independent elastic parameters namely, \(C_{11}\), \(C_{12}\), \(C_{13}\), \(C_{33}\), \(C_{44}\) and \(C_{66 }\) are evaluated. The effects of temperature and pressure on some macroscopic properties of \(\hbox {MgSiAs}_{2}\) and \(\hbox {MgGeAs}_{2}\) are predicted using the quasiharmonic Debye model in which the lattice vibrations are taken into account.     

Existence and Regularity of Weak Solutions to the Quasi-Geostrophic Equations in the Spaces Lp or $$\dot{H}^{-1/2}$$

In this paper we study the 2D quasi-geostrophic equation with and without dissipation. We give global existence results of weak solutions for an initial data in the space L ^p or . In the dissipative case, when the initial data is in L ^p , p > 2, we give a regularity result of these solutions.     

On the Quasi-linear Elliptic PDE {-\nabla \cdot ( \nabla{u}/ \sqrt{1-| \nabla{u} |^2}) = 4 \pi \sum_k a_k \delta_{s_k}} in Physics and Geometry

It is shown that for each finite number N of Dirac measures ${\delta_{s_n}}$ supported at points ${s_n \in {\mathbb R}^3}$ with given amplitudes ${a_n \in {\mathbb R} \backslash\{0\}}$ there exists a unique real-valued function ${u \in C^{0, 1}({\mathbb R}^3)}$ , vanishing at infinity, which distributionally solves the quasi-linear elliptic partial differential equation of divergence form ${-\nabla \cdot ( \nabla{u}/ \sqrt{1-| \nabla{u} |^2}) = 4 \pi \sum_{n=1}^N a_n \delta_{s_n}}$ . Moreover, ${u \in C^{\omega}({\mathbb R}^3\backslash \{s_n\}_{n=1}^N)}$ . The result can be interpreted in at least two ways: (a) for any number N of point charges of arbitrary magnitude and sign at prescribed locations s _n in three-dimensional Euclidean space there exists a unique electrostatic field which satisfies the Maxwell-Born-Infeld field equations smoothly away from the point charges and vanishes as |s| ?? ??; (b) for any number N of integral mean curvatures assigned to locations ${s_n \in {\mathbb R}^3 \subset{\mathbb R}^{1, 3}}$ there exists a unique asymptotically flat, almost everywhere space-like maximal slice with point defects of Minkowski spacetime ${{\mathbb R}^{1, 3}}$ , having lightcone singularities over the s _n but being smooth otherwise, and whose height function vanishes as |s| ?? ??. No struts between the point singularities ever occur.     

An admissible level $$\widehat{\mathfrak {osp}} \left( 1 \big \vert 2 \right) $$-model: modular transformations and the Verlinde formula

The modular properties of the simple vertex operator superalgebra associated with the affine Kac–Moody superalgebra \(\widehat{{\mathfrak {osp}}} (1|2)\) at level \(-\frac{5}{4}\) are investigated. After classifying the relaxed highest-weight modules over this vertex operator superalgebra, the characters and supercharacters of the simple weight modules are computed and their modular transforms are determined. This leads to a complete list of the Grothendieck fusion rules by way of a continuous superalgebraic analog of the Verlinde formula. All Grothendieck fusion coefficients are observed to be non-negative integers. These results indicate that the extension to general admissible levels will follow using the same methodology once the classification of relaxed highest-weight modules is completed.     

Magnetic interactions and electronic structure of $$\hbox {Pt}_{2}\hbox {Mn}_{1-x}\hbox {Y}_{x} \hbox {Ga (Y = Cr and Fe)}$$ system: An ab-initio calculation

Structural, optical, electrical conductivity and dielectric relaxation properties of bulk 4-amino-3-mercapto-6-(2-(2-thienyl)vinyl)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one donor (AMT) are studied. The structure of AMT in its powder form was analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). AC measurements (impedance, capacitance and phase angle) are done over the temperature range 303–373 K and in the frequency range from 42 Hz to 5 MHz. Analytical approaches for the experimental results of the σ _AC(ω, T) and the temperature behaviour of the frequency exponent show that the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model is a good model to explain the AC electrical conductivity of bulk AMT organic semiconductor material. Application of the dielectric modulus formulism gives a simple method for evaluating the activation energy of the dielectric relaxation. The activation energy from the DC conductivity and the relaxation time are quite similar suggesting a hopping mechanism for AMT. The optical band gap of AMT is investigated using spectrophotometric measurement of transmittance at normal incidence of light in the wavelength range 300–1100 nm.     

Effect of tensile and compressive strain on the magnetic ordering of the ($$\hbox {LaMnO}_{3})_{1}/\hbox {(SrTiO}_{3})_{1}$$ superlattice

We study the effects of tensile and compressive strain on the \((\hbox {LaMnO}_{3})_{1}/(\hbox {SrTiO}_{3})_{1}\) superlattice from density functional theory using Quantum-Espresso open source code. In the unstrained superlattice, electron interactions in out-of-plane Mn–O–Ti chains are dominated by superexchange interactions, giving rise to ferromagnetic and half-metallic conducting characters. We found that the most stable magnetic configuration is G-type antiferromagnetic configuration for strong compressive strain and for strong tensile strain it is A-type antiferromagnetic configuration. The results are in accordance with the experimental observations which show that the superlattices can be grown on different substrates, and due to the difference in lattice parameters of the substrate and the main layer, there are also changes in the amount of strain applied to the superlattice.

On the Standard Model prediction for \mathcal{B}(B_{s,d} \to \mu^{+} \mu^{-})

The decay B _s →μ ⁺ μ ^? is one of the milestones of the flavor program at the LHC. We reappraise its Standard Model prediction. First, by analyzing the theoretical rate in the light of its main parametric dependence, we highlight the importance of a complete evaluation of higher-order electroweak corrections, at present known only in the large-m _t limit, and leaving sizable dependence on the definition of electroweak parameters. Using insights from a complete calculation of such corrections for $K\to\pi\nu\bar{\nu}We present O(?? _s ) results on the decays of polarized W ^± and Z bosons into massive quark pairs. The NLO QCD corrections to the polarized decay functions are given up to the second order in the quark mass expansion. We find a surprisingly strong dependence of the NLO polarized decay functions on finite quark mass effects even at the relatively large mass scale of the W ^± and Z bosons. As a main application we consider the decay t??b+W ⁺ involving the helicity fractions ?? _mm of the W ⁺ boson followed by the polarized decay $W^{+}(\uparrow)\to q_{1}\bar{q}_{2}$ for which we determine the O(?? _s ) polar angle decay distribution. We also discuss NLO polarization effects in the production/decay process $e^{+}e^{-}\to Z(\uparrow)\to q\bar{q}$ .
