In this work we construct an embedding of a nontrivial central extension of the contact superconformal algebra K'(4) into the Lie superalgebra of pseudodifferential symbols on the supercircle S^{1|2}. Associated with this embedding is a…
In this paper, we consider an extension of Jacobi's symbol, the so called rational $2^k$-th power residue symbol. In Section 3, we prove a novel generalization of Zolotarev's lemma. In Sections 4, 5 and 6, we show that several hard…
We present a lattice study of the $SU(4)$ gauge theory with two Dirac fermions in the fundamental and two in the two-index antisymmetric representation, a model close to a theory of partial compositeness. Focus of this work are the…
In this paper we will outline elements of the global calculus of seudo-differential operators on the group SU(2). This is a part of a more general approach to pseudo-differential operators on compact Lie groups that will appear in the…
Classification of N=4 superconformal symmetries in two dimensions is re-examined. It is proposed that apart from SU(2) and $SU(2)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ their Kac-Moody symmetry can also be $SU(2)\times(U(1))^4$. These superconformal…
We conjecture a formula for the Schur index of N=2 four-dimensional theories in the presence of boundary conditions and/or line defects, in terms of the low-energy effective Seiberg-Witten description of the system together with massive BPS…
A systematic study of non-trivial cubic extensions of the four-dimensional Poincar\'e algebra is undertaken. Explicit examples are given with various techniques (Young tableau, characters etc).
We examine nucleon-nucleon realistic interactions, based on their SU(3) decomposition to SU(3)-symmetric components. We find that many of these interaction components are negligible, which, in turn, allows us to identify a subset of…
The fourth derivative models for two dimensional gravity are shown to be equivalent to the special version of the nonlinear sigma models coupled to 2d quantum gravity. The reduction consists in the introduction of the auxiliary scalar…
Invoking increasingly higher dimension operators to encode novel UV physics in effective gauge and gravity theories traditionally means working with increasingly more finicky and difficult expressions. We demonstrate that local higher…
In our joint papers [FL1-FL2] we revive quaternionic analysis and show deep relations between quaternionic analysis, representation theory and four-dimensional physics. As a guiding principle we use representation theory of various real…
In the framework of the Schwinger boson representation for the su(2)-algebra, the closed form is derived for the total spin eigenstates which result from the coupling of n su(2)-spins. In order to demonstrate its usefulness, the orthogonal…
We study the phase diagram of the 3-dimensional SU(2) + adjoint Higgs theory, and investigate to what extent it can be used as an effective theory of the 4-dimensional high-T SU(2) QCD. The relation between the parameters in 4 and 3…
The Wess-Zumino-Witten model defined on the group SU(2) has a unique (non-trivial) simple current of conformal dimension k/4 for each level k. The extended algebra defined by this simple current is carefully constructed in terms of…
Super Hopf algebra structure on the function algebra on the extended quantum superspace has been defined. It is given a bicovariant differential calculus on the superspace. The corresponding (quantum) Lie superalgebra of vector fields and…
We show that a subdirectly irreducible *-regular ring admits a representation within some inner product space provided so does its ortholattice of projections.
A familiar anomaly affects SU(2) gauge theory in four dimensions: a theory with an odd number of fermion multiplets in the spin 1/2 representation of the gauge group, and more generally in representations of spin 2r+1/2, is inconsistent. We…
We describe how it is possible to describe irreducible actions of the Hodge - de Rham Dirac operator upon the exterior algebra over the quantum spheres ${\rm SU}_q(2)$ equipped with a three dimensional left covariant calculus.
In this paper, we apply high level versions of Jacobi's derivative formula to number theory such as quarternary quadratic forms and convolution sums of some arithmetical functions.
Using a complex deformation q=exp(is) of su(2) we obtain extensions of the finite-dimensional representations towards the infinite-dimensional ones. A generalised q-deformation of su(2), as a Hopf algebra is introduced. We present the…
