We generalize the concept of cubic group into any dimension and derive their conjugate classifications and representation theorys. Double group and spinor representation are defined. A detailed calculation is carried out on the structures…
Several dynamical symmetries of the Dirac Hamiltonian are reviewed in a systematic manner and the conditions under which such symmetries hold. These include relativistic spin and orbital angular momentum symmetries, SO(4)\times…
A century ago, Wigner's SU(4) symmetry was introduced to explain the properties of atomic nuclei. Despite recent revived interest, its impact on nuclear structure, transitions, and reactions has not been fully explored. Here, we show that a…
For small dimensional Lie algebra's there are many so-called accidental isomorphisms which give rise to double covers of special orthogonal groups - Spin groups - which happen to coincide with groups already belonging to another…
We discuss lattice simulations of light nuclei at leading order in chiral effective field theory. Using lattice pion fields and auxiliary fields, we include the physics of instantaneous one-pion exchange and the leading-order S-wave contact…
Each of the local isometry groups arising in 3d gravity can be viewed as the group of unit (split) quaternions over a ring which depends on the cosmological constant. In this paper we explain and prove this statement, and use it as a…
The spinor-helicity representations of massive and (partially-)massless particles in four dimensional (Anti-) de Sitter spacetime are studied within the framework of the dual pair correspondence. We show that the dual groups (aka "little…
The $SU(2)$ unitary matrix $U$ employed in hadronic low-energy processes has both exponential and analytic representations, related by $ U = \exp\left[ i \mathbf{\tau} \cdot \hat{\mathbf{\pi}} \theta\,\right] = \cos\theta I + i…
The evaluation of a relativistic spin network for the classical case of the Lie group SU(2) is given by an integral formula over copies of SU(2). For the graph determined by a 4-simplex this gives the evaluation as an integral over a space…
We provide the isoscalar factors of the SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan series 8x35 which are extensions of the previous works of de Swart, McNamee and Chilton and play practical roles in current ongoing strange flavor hadron physics research. To this…
It is shown that a SU(1,1) algebra may be used to provide a unified description of the simple hamonic oscillator and the angular momentum algebras and a class of other semi-infinite algebras. A normal ordered representation of a Unitary…
We give an explicit formulation of the three-dimensional $SL(4,R)/SO(2,2) \sigma$-model representing the five-dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to the dilaton and the three-form field for spacetimes with two commuting Killing vector…
With a view towards future applications in nuclear physics, the fermion realization of the compact symplectic sp(4) algebra and its q-deformed versions are investigated. Three important reduction chains of the sp(4) algebra are explored in…
A comparison among different constructions of the quaternionic $4$-form $\Phi_{Sp(2)Sp(1)}$ and of the Cayley calibration $\Phi_{Spin(7)}$ shows that one can start for them from the same collections of "K\"ahler 2-forms", entering in…
It is commonly believed that a unitary supersymmetric quantum field theory (QFT) involving graviton and gravitino fields on fixed 4-dimensional de Sitter spacetime ($dS_{4}$) cannot exist due to known challenges associated with…
We perform an su(2) Hamiltonian reduction in the bosonic sector of the su(2)-invariant action for two free (4, 4, 0) supermultiplets. As a result, we get the five dimensional N=4 supersymmetric mechanics describing the motion of an isospin…
This is the second part of an article about q-deformed analogs of spinor calculus. The considerations refer to quantum spaces of physical interest, i.e. q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions as well as q-deformed Minkowski…
In these lectures, we discuss some well-known facts about Clifford algebras: matrix representations, Cartan's periodicity of 8, double coverings of orthogonal groups by spin groups, Dirac equation in different formalisms, spinors in $n$…
We consider the dimensional reductions of N=4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on R x S^3 to the three-dimensional theory on R x S^2, the orbifolded theory on R x S^3/Z_k, and the plane-wave matrix model. With explicit emphasis on the…
We consider the phase diagram of the most general SU(4)-symmetric two-site Hamiltonian for a system of two fermions per site (ie self-conjugate $\bf 6$ representation) on the square lattice. It is known that this model hosts magnetic phases…
