Optimization under structural constraints is typically analyzed through projection or penalty methods, obscuring the geometric mechanism by which constraints shape admissible dynamics. We propose an operator-theoretic formulation in which…

The higher-derivative theories with degenerate frequencies exhibit BRST symmetry (O. Rivelles, Phys. Lett. B577 (2003), 147). In the present paper meaning of BRST invariance condition is analyzed. The BRST symmetry is related to…

Some time ago we have introduced a route to provide confinement in the sense that particle excitations would appear from condensates of fields that do not have physical asymptotic states. We envisaged this mechanism in an asymmetric vacuum…
