We derive the master function governing the component action of the four-dimensional non-anticommutative (NAC) and fully N=2 supersymmetric gauge field theory with a non-simple gauge group U(2)=SU(2)xU(1). We use a Lorentz singlet…

We point out that a field \phi charged under a global U(1) symmetry generally allows for a starred localized extension with the transformation rule, \phi\to U_L\star\phi\star U_R^{-1}. This results in a double gauging of the global U(1)…

Let $\Omega$ be an open subset of $\mathbb R^n$, and let $f: \Omega \to \mathbb R$ be differentiable $\mathcal H^k$-almost everywhere, for some nonnegative integer $k < n$, where $\mathcal H^k$ denotes the $k$=dimensional Hausdorff measure.…

Let $A$ be an associative simple (central) superalgebra over ${\mathbb C}$ and $L$ an invariant linear functional on it (trace). Let $a\mapsto a^t$ be an antiautomorphism of $A$ such that $(a^t)^ t=(-1)^{p(a)}a$, where $p(a)$ is the parity…

The conventional decomposition of a vector field into longitudinal (potential) and transverse (vortex) components (Helmholtz's theorem) is claimed in [1] to be inapplicable to the time-dependent vector fields and, in particular, to the…

In this paper we prove a conjecture regarding the form of the Born-Infeld Lagrangian with a U(1)^2n gauge group after the elimination of the auxiliary fields. We show that the Lagrangian can be written as a symmetrized trace of Lorentz…
