We investigate the notion of real form of complex Lie superalgebras and supergroups, both in the standard and graded version. Our functorial approach allows most naturally to go from the superalgebra to the supergroup and retrieve the real…
The notion of a classical particle is inferred from Dirac quantum fields on a curved space-time, by an eikonal approximation and a localization hypothesis for amplitudes. This procedure allows to define a semi-classical version of the…
In this paper, we consider the apparent superluminal speed of neutrinos in their travel from CERN to Gran Susso, as measured by the OPERA experiment, within the framework of the Extended Lorentz Transformation Model. The model is based on a…
The notion of an anti-commutative (resp. commutative) rigid superalgebra is a natural generalisation of the notion of a Lie (resp. Jordan) superalgebra. Intuitively rigidity means that small deformations of the product under the structural…
In this paper we complete the classification of spin manifolds admitting parallel spinors, in terms of the Riemannian holonomy groups. More precisely, we show that on a given n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, spin structures with parallel…
The covering of the affine symmetry group, a semidirect product of translations and special linear transformations, in $D \geq 3$ dimensional spacetime is considered. Infinite dimensional spinorial representations on states and fields are…
The pseudo--spectral decomposition of an $N$--particle antisymmetric 1--body positive--semidefinite operator that corresponds to the canonical convex decomposition into the extreme elements of the dual cone of the set of fermion…
We prove that the cohomology of semi-simple Lie groups admits boundary values, which are measurable cocycles on the Furstenberg boundary. This generalises known invariants such as the Maslov index on Shilov boundaries, the Euler class on…
A Lie group as a 4-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold is considered. This manifold is equipped with an almost product structure and a Killing metric in two ways. In the first case Riemannian almost product manifold with nonintegrable…
We describe all supergroups with the largest even supersubgroups being isomorphic to $\mathrm{GL}_2, \mathrm{SL}_2$ or $\mathrm{PSL}_2$. These results are applied to the description of centralizers of certain tori in the quasi-reductive…
The generator of the semigroup associated with linear age-structured population models including spatial diffusion is shown to have compact resolvent.
The method of nonlinear realizations is applied for the conformally invariant description of the spinning particles in terms of geometrical quantities of the parameter spaces of the one dimensional N - extended superconformal groups. We…
We study a model of N-component complex fermions with a kinetic term that is second order in derivatives. This symplectic fermion model has an Sp(2N) symmetry, which for any N contains an SO(3) subgroup that can be identified with…
A pseudoclassical model is proposed for the description of planar $P,T-$invariant massive fermions. The quantization of the model leads to the (2+1)-dimensional $P,T-$invariant fermion model used recently in $P,T-$conserving theories of…
We find a simpler formulation of the Green-Schwarz action, for which the Wess-Zumino term is the square of supersymmetric currents, like the rest of the action. On a random lattice it gives Feynman diagrams of a particle superfield theory.
Transformation properties of Dirac equation correspond to Spin(3,1) representation of Lorentz group SO(3,1), but group GL(4,R) of general relativity does not accept a similar construction with Dirac spinors. On the other hand, it is…
We classify solvable Lie groups admitting left invariant symplectic half-flat structure. When the Lie group has a compact quotient by a lattice, we show that these structures provide solutions of supersymmetric equations of type IIA.
Relatively recently, two new classes of (discrete, countable) groups have been isolated: hyperlinear groups and sofic groups. They come from different corners of mathematics (operator algebras and symbolic dynamics, respectively), and were…
Connection of the invariant Dirac equation over the de Sitter space with irreducible representations of the de Sitter group is ascertained. The set of solutions of this equation is obtained in the form of the product of two different…
We consider the pseudo-Riemannian Lichnerowicz conjecture in the homogeneous setting. In particular, we show that any compact connected pseudo-Riemannian manifold $M$ on which a semisimple group $G$ acts conformally, essentially and…
