We demonstrate a model which captures certain attractive features of $SU(5)$ theory, while providing a possible escape from proton decay. In this paper we show how ladder operators arise from the division algebras $\mathbb{R}$,…
The addition of an adjoint Polyakov loop term to the action of a pure gauge theory at finite temperature leads to new phases of SU(N) gauge theories. For SU(3), a new phase is found which breaks Z(3) symmetry in a novel way; for SU(4), the…

Deformations of the Lie algebras so(4), so(3,1), and e(3) that leave their so(3) subalgebra undeformed and preserve their coset structure are considered. It is shown that such deformed algebras are associative for any choice of the…
The polynomial deformations of the Witten extensions of the U(su(2)) and U(osp(1,2)) algebras are three generator algebras with normal ordering, admitting a two generator subalgebra. The modules and the representations of these algebras are…
The algebra su(2) is derived from two commuting quon algebras for which the parameter q is a root of unity. This leads to a polar decomposition of the shift operators of the group SU(2). The Wigner-Racah algebra of SU(2) is developed in a…
We show that a nonlinear Hamiltonian evolution can transform an SU(3) coherent state into a superposition of distinct SU(3) coherent states, with a superposition of two SU(2) coherent states presented as a special case. A phase space…
A scheme to perform the Cartan decomposition for the Lie algebra su(N) of arbitrary finite dimensions is introduced. The schme is based on two algebraic structures, the conjugate partition and the quotient algebra, that are easily generated…
In this article we study different aspects of Hermitian operators applying the concept of positive decompositions. On the one hand, we characterize the positivity of an Hermitian operator by means of a norm condition where the factors of…
We derive the matrix elements of generators of unitary irreducible representations of SL(2,C) with respect to basis states arising from a decomposition into irreducible representations of SU(1,1). This is done with regard to a discrete…
Complex and Hermitian structures on hom-Lie algebras are introduced and some examples of these structures are presented. Also, it is shown that there not exists a proper complex (Hermitian) home-Lie algebra of dimension two. Then using a…
Generation of topological phases of matter with SU(3) symmetry in a condensed matter setup is challenging due to the lack of an intrinsic three-fold chirality of quasiparticles. We uncover two salient ingredients required to express a…
The Laplacian on the Lie groups U(N) and SU(N) is given in a parametrized edition for practical purposes. The radial part is often seen in work on lattice gauge theory, but here is derived also the off-diagonal part which in SU(3) and U(3)…
A general group element for the fundamental representation of SU(3) is expressed as a second order polynomial in the hermitian generating matrix H, with coefficients consisting of elementary trigonometric functions dependent on the sole…
The notion of index is applied to analyze the phase operator problem associated with the photon. We clarify the absence of the hermitian phase operator on the basis of an index consideration. We point out an interesting analogy between the…
Finite dimensional representations of extended Weyl-Heisenberg algebra are studied both from mathematical and applied viewpoints. They are used to define unitary phase operator and the corresponding eigenstates (phase states). It is also…
The structure of irreducible representations of (restricted) U_q(sl(3)) at roots of unity is understood within the Gelfand--Zetlin basis. The latter needs a weakened definition for non integrable representations, where the quadratic Casimir…
An algebra homomorphism $\psi$ from the nonstandard q-deformed (cyclically symmetric) algebra $U_q(so_3)$ to the extension ${\hat U}_q(sl_2)$ of the Hopf algebra $U_q(sl_2)$ is constructed. Not all irreducible representations of $U_q(sl_2)$…
In this paper, first we introduce the notion of a phase space of a 3-Lie algebra and show that a 3-Lie algebra has a phase space if and only if it is sub-adjacent to a 3-pre-Lie algebra. Then we introduce the notion of a product structure…
Using the Darboux method and its relation with supersymmetric quantum mechanics we construct all SUSY partners of the harmonic oscillator. With the help of the SUSY transformation we introduce ladder operators for these partner Hamiltonians…
