Let G denote either a special orthogonal group or a symplectic group defined over the complex numbers. We prove the following saturation result for G: given dominant weights \lambda^1, ..., \lambda^r such that the tensor product…
We explicitly compute examples of sheaves over the projectivization of the spectrum of the cohomology of sl_2. In particular, we compute \ker\Theta_M for every indecomposable M and we compute F_i(M) when M is an indecomposable Weyl module…
We explore finite-field frameworks for quantum theory and quantum computation. The simplest theory, defined over unrestricted finite fields, is unnaturally strong. A second framework employs only finite fields with no solution to x^2+1=0,…
I criticize certain conclusions about the physics of hadrons drawn from a "valence QCD" approximation to QCD.
A generalization of the Lorenz equations is proposed where the variables take values in a Lie algebra. The finite dimensionality of the representation encodes the quantum fluctuations, while the non-linear nature of the equations can…
The vacuum polarization of a quark, when considered in terms of the external momentum q^2, is a function of the Stieltjes type. Consequently, the mathematical theory of Pade Approximants assures that the full function, at any finite value…
I discuss aspects of the QCD sum rule method which attracted theorists' attention in earnest at a relatively late stage and are not yet fully solved. At first I briefly review such general topics as the structure of the operator product…
We prove a few new properties of the $\varphi$-representation of integers, where $\varphi = (1+\sqrt{5})/2$. In particular, we prove a 2012 conjecture of Kimberling. As software assistants, we used the Walnut theorem-prover, and in one…
The transverse momentum spectra of secondary $\eta$ particles produced in $P+P$, $D+Au$ and $Au+Au$ interactions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV at different centralities have been studied in the light of a non-extensive thermodynamical…
We show there is a class of symplectic Lie algebra representations over any field of characteristic not 2 or 3 that have many of the exceptional algebraic and geometric properties of both symmetric three forms in two dimensions and…
Various issues surrounding a recently proposed inequality among twist-two quark distributions in the nucleon are discussed. We provide a rigorous derivation of the inequality in QCD, including radiative corrections and scale dependence. We…
The modular representation theory of the queer Lie superalgebra q(n) over characteristic p>2 is developed. We obtain a criterion for the irreducibility of baby Verma modules with semisimple p-characters and a criterion for the…
The properties which give quantum mechanics its unique character - unitarity, complementarity, non-commutativity, uncertainty, nonlocality - derive from the algebraic structure of Hermitian operators acting on the wavefunction in complex…
There could be thousands of Introductions/Surveys of representation theory, given that it is an enormous field. This is just one of them, quite personal and informal. It has an increasing level of difficulty; the first part is intended for…
The holomorphic prepotential of ultraviolet finite N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories is obtained by a partial twisting of N=1 gauge theory in six dimensions, compactified on $\IR^4\timesT^2$. We show that Ward identities for the conserved…
A calculation of the heavy quark potential at finite temperature at strong coupling based on the AdS/CFT correspondence is presented. The calculation relies on the method of complex string trajectories and on the introduction of a modified…
A model consisting of a single massless scalar field with a topological coupling to a pure gauge field is defined and studied. It possesses an SL(2,Z) symmetry as a consequence of the gauge invariance. We propose that by adding impurities…
The boundary of a numerical range of a finite matrix is always a nice curve (algebraic, closed and simple), but the equation it satisfies is often very complicated. We will show that, furthermore, there is no hope of describing these curves…
In $1801$, Gauss found an explicit description, in the language of binary quadratic forms, for the $2$-torsion of the narrow class group and dual narrow class group of a quadratic number field. This is now known as Gauss's genus theory. In…
We propose a new description of inclusive diffraction in deep inelastic scattering (DIS). The diffractive structure functions are expressed in the dipole picture and contain heavy-quark contributions. The dipole scattering amplitude, a…
