Starting from the structural similarity between the quantum theory of gauge systems and that of the Kepler problem, an SU(2) gauge description of the five-dimensional Kepler problem is given. This non-abelian gauge system is used as a…
We construct a minimal supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified model in 5 dimensions. The extra dimension is compactified on an S^1/(Z_2 x Z_2^\prime) orbifold which has two in-equivalent fixed points. These are flat 4-dimensional Minkowski…
Recent work Bobienski-Nurowski on 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with an SO(3) structure prompts us to investigate which Lie groups admit such a geometry. The case in which the SO(3) structure admits a compatible connection with torsion…
We study the structure of the algebra of polynomial invariants for the usual conjugation action of the complex special, SO_n, and general, O_n, orthogonal group on the space of traceless n by n complex matrices. (Note that these two…
A dimension group is a partially ordered countable group such that (1) every finite subset is contained in an ordered subgroup which is a finite direct power of Z and (2) the group has an order unit i.e. a positive element u such that every…
We reconsider the general constraints on the perturbative anomalous dimensions in conformal invariant QFT and in particular in N=4 SYM with gauge group SU(N_c). We show that all the perturbative corrections to the anomalous dimension of a…
We report on a detailed calculation of the anomaly coefficients for the odd and even parts of the $Z_2$-graded representation $\theta$ of the Lie algebra Lie$ G$ on the exterior algebra of dimension $2^n$ assuming that $G\subset U(n)$. The…
We study $SU(n)$ symmetry breaking by rank three and rank two antisymmetric tensor fields. Using tensor analysis, we derive branching rules for the adjoint and antisymmetric tensor representations, and explain why for general $SU(n)$ one…
We resolve the SU(3) outer multiplicity problem by defining all possible $SU(3)\otimes SU(3)$ invariant operators in terms of SU(3) Schwinger bosons. We show that the elementary invariant operators relevant to the outer multiplicity problem…
We study more extensively and completely for global gauge anomalies with some semisimple gauge groups as initiated in ref.1. A detailed and complete proof or derivation is provided for the Z_2 global gauge anomaly given in ref.1 for a gauge…
In the conventional formulation of N=1 supersymmetry, a vector multiplet is supposed to be in the adjoint representation of a given gauge group. We present a new formulation with a vector multiplet in the non-adjoint representation of SO(N)…
We examine the low energy structure of N=1 supersymmetric SO(10) gauge theory with matter chiral superfields in N_Q spinor and N_f vector representations. We construct a dual to this model based upon an SU(N_f+2N_Q-7) x Sp(2N_Q-2) gauge…
We discuss anomalies associated with outer automorphisms in gauge theories based on classical groups, namely charge conjugations for $SU(N)$ and parities for $SO(2r)$. We emphasize the inequivalence (yet related by a flavor transformation)…
An exponentially large extra dimension can be naturally realized by the Casimir energy and the gaugino condensation in 5D supersymmetric theory. The model does not require any hierarchies among the 5D parameters. The key ingredient is an…
Explicit formulae for the projectors onto invariant subspaces of the $\operatorname{ad}^{\otimes 2}$ representation of the Lie algebras $so(N)$ and $sp(2r)$ have been found by means of the split Casimir operator. These projectors have also…
A new purely algebraic algorithm is presented for computation of invariants (generalized Casimir operators) of Lie algebras. It uses the Cartan's method of moving frames and the knowledge of the group of inner automorphisms of each Lie…
Recently it was shown that the scaling dimension of the operator $\phi^n$ in scale-invariant $d=3$ theory may be computed semiclassically, and this was verified to leading order (two loops) in perturbation theory at leading and subleading…
In a preceding report (hep-th/0112261), Pierre Ramond outlined a programme we have followed recently. An important ingredient in a future unique theory for basic physics must be a unique mathematical structure. It is then interesting to…
Quantization of the geometric quasiconformal realizations of noncompact groups and supergroups leads directly to their minimal unitary representations (minreps). Using quasiconformal methods massless unitary supermultiplets of…
Quantum gravity or string compactification can lead to effective dimension-5 operators in Grand Unified Theories which modify the gauge kinetic terms. We exhaustively discuss the group-theoretic nature of such operators for the popular…
