We study the pair interaction on flat tori of functions whose Fourier coefficients are positive and decay sufficiently rapidly. In dimension one we find that the minimizer, up to translation, is the equidistant point set. In dimension two,…

We regard the Casimir energy of the universe as the main contribution to the cosmological constant. Using 5 dimensional models of the universe, the flat model and the warped one, we calculate Casimir energy. Introducing the new…

We discuss M(atrix) theory compactification on T^6. This theory is described by the large N limit of the world volume theory, of N Kaluza-Klein monopoles in eleven dimensions. We discuss the BPS states, and their arrangement in E_6…
