The 3-d Z(2) lattice gauge-Higgs theory is cast in a partial axial gauge leaving a residual Z(2) symmetry, global in two directions and local in one. It is shown both analytically and numerically that this symmetry breaks spontaneously in…
We develop some ideas about gauge symmetry in the context of Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism in the Hamiltonian formalism. One great benefit of this formalism is that it pairs momentum and configurational degrees of freedom, so that a…
Assuming $\mathfrak b = \mathfrak c$ (or some weaker statement), we construct a compactification $\gamma\omega$ of $\omega$ such that its remainder $\gamma\omega\setminus\omega$ is nonseparable and carries a strictly positive measure.
In this article, associated with each lattice $T\subseteq \mathbb{Z}^n$ the concept of a harmonic-counting measure $\nu_T$ on a sphere $S^{n-1}$ is introduced and it is applied to determine the asymptotic behavior of the eigenfunctions of…
In this paper we develop a rigorous foundation for the study of integration and measures on the space $\mathscr{G}(V)$ of all graphs defined on a countable labelled vertex set $V$. We first study several interrelated $\sigma$-algebras and a…
Let G be a real reductive Lie group and H a closed reductive subgroup of G. We investigate the deformation of "standard" compact quotients of G/H, i.e., of quotients of G/H by discrete subgroups Gamma of G that are uniform lattices in a…
We discuss the theory and phenomenology of decays of a leptophobic $U(1)_\X$ gauge boson $X$, such as has been proposed to explain the alleged deviations of $R_b$ and $R_c$ from standard model predictions. If the scalars involved in the…
In this paper we give a matrix version of Handelman's Positivstellensatz [1], representing polynomial matrices which are positive definite on convex, compact polyhedra. Moreover, we propose also a procedure to find such a representation. As…
We show that, if $M$ is a subspace lattice with the property that the rank one subspace of its operator algebra is weak* dense, $L$ is a commutative subspace lattice and $P$ is the lattice of all projections on a separable infinite…
The set of all subracks $\mathcal{R}(X)$ of a finite rack $X$ form a lattice under inclusion. We prove that if a rack $X$ satisfies a certain condition then the homotopy type of the order complex of $\mathcal{R}(X)$ is a $(m-2)$-sphere,…
The simplest Gauge-Higgs Unification model is a five-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory compactified on the S^1/Z_2 orbifold, such that on the four-dimensional boundaries of space-time there is an unbroken U(1) symmetry and a complex scalar,…
In this paper we explore homogeneous spaces Z=G/H of a a real reductive Lie group G with a closed connected subgroup H. The investigation concerns the decay at infinity of smooth functions on Z, and L^p-integrability of matrix coefficients.…
Higher gauge theory is a higher order version of gauge theory that makes possible the definition of 2-dimensional holonomy along surfaces embedded in a manifold where a gauge 2-connection is present. In this paper, we will continue the…
Given a pair $A,B$ of matrices of size $n\times n$, we consider the matrix function $e^{At+B}$ of the variable $t\in\mathbb{C}$. If the matrix $A$ is Hermitian, the matrix function $e^{At+B}$ is representable as the bilateral Laplace…
We give a simple and complete description of those convex lattice polygons in the plane that can be dissected into lattice triangles of integer area. A new version of Sperner's Lemma plays a central role.
We consider a graph called a lattice diagram, which is a graph in the $xy$-plane such that each edge is parallel to the $x$-axis or the $y$-axis. In [4], we investigated transformations of certain lattice diagrams, and we considered the…
Let $\D$ be the finite difference Laplacian associated to the lattice $\bZ^{d}$. For dimension $d\ge 3$, $a\ge 0$ and $L$ a sufficiently large positive dyadic integer, we prove that the integral kernel of the resolvent $G^{a}:=(a-\D)^{-1}$…
We investigate consequences of the effective colour-dielectric formulation of lattice gauge theory using the light-cone Hamiltonian formalism with a transverse lattice (hep-ph/9704408). As a quantitative test of this approach, we have…
We consider a four-dimensional Euclidean Wilson lattice Yang-Mills model with gauge group $SU(N)$, and the associated lattice Euclidean quantum field theory constructed by Osterwalder-Schrader-Seiler via a Feynman-Kac formula. In this…
The cusps of the caustics of any gravitational lens model can be classified into positive and negative ones. This distinction lies on the parity of the images involved in the creation/destruction of pairs occurring when a source crosses a…
