Branes in non-trivial backgrounds are expected to exhibit interesting dynamical properties. We use the boundary conformal field theory approach to study branes in a curved background with non-vanishing Neveu-Schwarz 3-form field strength.…
Letourmy and Vendramin have recently introduced a concept of isoclinism for skew braces. We show that for a skew brace the properties of being bi-skew, $\lambda$-homomorphic, and inner are invariant under isoclinism.
Recently a brane world perspective on the cosmological constant and the hierarchy problems was presented. Here, we elaborate on some aspects of that particular scenario and discuss the stability of the stationary brane solution and the…
We investigate braneworld models in the presence of the several scalar fields with generalized dynamics. A new mechanism to control the internal structure of brane in modified gravity is used to induce changes in the models in the presence…
We provide a counterexample to a lemma used in a recent tentative improvement of the the Pin-Frankl bound for synchronizing automata. This example naturally leads us to formulate an open question, whose answer could fix the line of proof,…
If our (3+1) dimensional universe is a brane or domain wall embedded in a higher dimensional space, then a phenomenon that may be designated as "Clash of Symmetries" provides a new method of breaking continuous symmetries. The paper…
The aim of these lectures is to give a brief introduction to brane cosmology. After introducing some basic geometrical notions, we discuss the cosmology of a brane universe with matter localized on the brane. Then we introduce an intrinsic…
We investigate the dynamics of a spherically symmetric vaccum on a Randall and Sundrum 3-brane world. Under certain natural conditions, the effective Einstein equations on the brane form a closed system for spherically symmetric dark…
Arc permutations, which were originally introduced in the study of triangulations and characters, have recently been shown to have interesting combinatorial properties. The first part of this paper continues their study by providing signed…
We prove sharp bounds for the equivalence of norms in tent spaces with respect to changes of angles. Some applications are given.
This work deals with thick braneworld models, in an environment where the Ricci scalar is changed to accommodate the addition of two extra terms, one depending on the Ricci scalar itself, and the other, which takes into account the trace of…
We give a basic account of supersymmetric open strings and D-branes using the Green-Schwarz formalism, obtaining a manifestly spacetime supersymmetric description of their spectrum. In addition we discuss a mechanism whereby some of the…
In this article the action of T-duality on a mixed brane is studied in the boundary state formalism. We also obtain a two dimensional mixed brane with non-zero electric and magnetic fields, from a D$_1$-brane.
Handwritten signatures are biometric traits at the center of debate in the scientific community. Over the last 40 years, the interest in signature studies has grown steadily, having as its main reference the application of automatic…
We consider a little known aspect of signature change, where the overall sign of the metric is allowed to change, with physical implications. We show how, in different formulations of general relativity, this type of classical signature…
We study the geometrical and topological properties of the bulk (environment space) when we modify the geometry or topology of a brane-world. Through the characterization of a spherically symmetric space-time as a local brane-world immersed…
We introduce a method for transferring the signer's appearance in sign language skeletal poses while preserving the sign content. Using estimated poses, we transfer the appearance of one signer to another, maintaining natural movements and…
We discuss consistency conditions for branes at orbifold singularities. The conditions have a world-sheet interpretation in terms of tadpole cancellation and a space-time interpretation in terms of anomalies. As examples, we consider type…
A couple of issues concerning the effective dynamics of D-branes in string theory are discussed. Primarily, I am concerned with linearization of the actions by introduction of non-propagating fields and a full super- and kappa-symmetric…
The possible spatial transformation properties of tetrons are discussed.
