Phenomenological evidence suggests the existence of non-trivial background fields in the QCD vacuum. On the other hand SU(3) gauge theory possessses three different classes of both non-generic and non-trivial strata that may be used as…
We present a framework that connects three interesting classes of groups: the twisted groups (also known as Suzuki-Ree groups), the mixed groups and the exotic pseudo-reductive groups. For a given characteristic p, we construct categories…
A specific algebraic coupling model involving multiple quantization axes is presented in which previously indistinguishable SU(2) symmetry groups become distinguishable when coupled into a SU(3) group structure. The model reveals new…
We derive the representation theory of $SU(2)$ from the expository theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. Based on this, the mathematics of non-relativistic quantum mechanics of a spin $\frac{1}{2}$ particle are described from a…
A non-zero element of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{se}(3)$ of the special Euclidean spatial isometry group $SE(3)$ is known as a {\em twist} and the corresponding element of the projective Lie algebra is termed a {\em screw}. Either can be…
A new picture of Quantum Mechanics based on the theory of groupoids is presented. This picture provides the mathematical background for Schwinger's algebra of selective measurements and helps to understand its scope and eventual…
The gauge symmetry of the Standard Model is SU(3)_c x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y for unknown reasons. One aspect that can be addressed is the low dimensionality of all its subgroups. Why not much larger groups like SU(7), or for that matter, SP(38)…
Motion groups of links in the three sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$ are generalizations of the braid groups, which are motion groups of points in the disk $\mathbb{D}^2$. Representations of motion groups can be used to model statistics of extended…
We propose a model which unifies the Left-Right symmetry with the $SU(3)_L$ gauge group, called flipped trinification, and based on the $SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes SU(3)_R\otimes U(1)_X$ gauge group. The model inherits the interesting…
We present a non-relativistic fermionic field theory in 2-dimensions coupled to external gauge fields. The singlet sector of the $c=1$ matrix model corresponds to a specific external gauge field. The gauge theory is one-dimensional (time)…
In this paper, a general theory on unification of non-Abelian SU(N) gauge interactions and gravitational gauge interactions is discussed. SU(N) gauge interactions and gravitational gauge interactions are formulated on the similar basis and…
Using noncommutative geometry we do U(1) gauge theory on the permutation group $S_3$. Unlike usual lattice gauge theories the use of a nonAbelian group here as spacetime corresponds to a background Riemannian curvature. In this background…
We study 3d theories determined by three-manifolds. Previously, we found that some basic 3d dualities relate to the surgeries of three-manifolds and defined gauge circles and matter circles. In this note, we discuss some operations…
We give an explicit construction of a class of F-theory models with matter in the three-index symmetric (4) representation of SU(2). This matter is realized at codimension two loci in the F-theory base where the divisor carrying the gauge…
The meaning of quantum group transformation properties is discussed in some detail by comparing the (co)actions of the quantum group with those of the corresponding Lie group, both of which have the same algebraic (matrix) form of the…
Simulating $\mathrm{U(1)}$ quantum gauge theories with spatial dimension greater than one is of great physical significance yet has not been achieved experimentally. Here we propose a simple realization of $\mathrm{U(1)}$ gauge theory on…
We define homology of ternary algebras satisfying axioms derived from particle scattering or, equivalently, from the third Reidemeister move. We show that ternary quasigroups satisfying these axioms appear naturally in invariants of…
We consider quantum transition amplitudes, partition functions and observables for 3D spin foam models within $SU(2)$ quantum group deformation symmetry, where the deformation parameter is a complex fifth root of unity. By considering…
Braiding operators corresponding to the third Reidemeister move in the theory of knots and links are realized in terms of parametrized unitary matrices for all dimensions. Two distinct classes are considered. Their (non-local) unitary…
We construct a group acting on a binary rooted tree; this discrete group mimics the monodromy action of iterates of $f(z)=z^2-1$ on associated coverings of the Riemann sphere. We then derive some algebraic properties of the group, and…
