Definition of the partition function of U(1) gauge theory is extended to a class of four-manifolds containing all compact spaces and certain asymptotically locally flat (ALF) ones including the multi-Taub--NUT spaces. The partition function…

We discuss the structure of a model with an extended gauge symmetry group $SU(2)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ with a correspondingly rich Electroweak Symmetry Breaking structure. In spite of the additional scalar degrees of freedom in the model,…
String-scalar duality proposed by Y. Hosotani and membrane-scalar duality by A. Sugamoto are reexamined in the context of Kawaguchi Lagrangian formulation. The characteristic feature of this formulation is the indifferent nature of fields…

The Grassmann angle improves upon similar angles between subspaces that measure volume contraction in orthogonal projections. It works in real or complex spaces, with important differences, and is asymmetric, what makes it more efficient…
We use gauge/gravity duality to study simultaneously the mass spectrum and the thermodynamics of a generic quasi-conformal gauge theory, specified by its beta function. The beta function of a quasi-conformal theory almost vanishes, and the…
We resolve the entire gravitational field;i.e. the Riemann curvature into its electric and magnetic parts. In general, the vacuum Einstein equation is symmetric in active and passive electric parts. However it turns out that the…
Attention is focused on antisymmetrized versions of quantum spaces that are of particular importance in physics, i.e. two-dimensional quantum plane, q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions as well as q-deformed Minkowski…
Based on the superconformal algebra we construct a dual operator that introduces a grading among bosonic generators independent of the boson/fermion grading of the superalgebra. This dual operator allows us to construct an action that is…
Recently, gravity duals for certain Galilean-invariant conformal field theories have been constructed. In this paper, we point out that the spectrum of the particle number operator in the examples found so far is not a necessary consequence…
Massive scalar particle production, due to the anisotropic evolution of a five-dimensional spacetime, is considered in the context of a quadratic Lagrangian theory of gravity. Those particles, corresponding to field modes with non-vanishing…
We find two different q-generalizations of Yang-Mills theories. The corresponding lagrangians are invariant under the q-analogue of infinitesimal gauge transformations. We explicitly give the lagrangian and the transformation rules for the…
We give a geometric realization of the symmetric algebra of the tensor space $C^n \bigotimes C^m$ together with the action of the dual pair $(gl_n, gl_m)$ in terms of lagrangian cycles in the cotangent bundles of certain varieties. We…
For osp(1|2;C) graded Lie algebra, which proper Lie subalgebra is su(2), we consider the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula and formulate a reality condition for the Grassmann-odd transformation parameters that multiply the pair of odd…
We present an operational procedure to transform global symmetries into local symmetries at the level of individual quantum states, as opposed to typical gauging prescriptions for Hamiltonians or Lagrangians. We then construct a compatible…
We clarify the role of approximate S-duality in effective supergravity theories that are the low energy limits of string theories, and show how this partial symmetry may be used to constrain effective lagrangians for gaugino condensation.
