In this paper a loophole in the SU(2) gauge anomaly is presented. It is shown that using several topological tools a theory can be designed that implements the quantization of a single Weyl doublet anomaly free while keeping the non-abelian…
Vacuum stability requires that the scalar potential is bounded from below. Whether or not this is true depends on the scalar quartic interactions alone, but even so the analysis is arduous and has only been carried out for a limited set of…
We present an algebraic framework to study the time-optimal synthesis of arbitrary unitaries in SU(2), when the control set is restricted to rotations around two non-parallel axes in the Bloch sphere. Our method bypasses commonly used…
In this paper we construct all the primitive idempotents of the restricted quantum group $\overline{U}_q (sl_2)$ and also determine the multiplication rules among a basis given by the action of generators of $\bar{U}_q (sl_2)$ to the…
This paper deals with bases in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. Such a space can be realized as a subspace of the representation space of SU(2) corresponding to an irreducible representation of SU(2). The representation theory of SU(2)…
Different versions of consistent canonical realizations of hypersurface deformations of spherically symmetric space-times have been derived in models of loop quantum gravity, modifying the classical dynamics and sometimes also the structure…
We elaborate an approach to quantum fluctuations of angular momentum based on the diagonalization of the covariance matrix in two versions: real symmetric and complex Hermitian. At difference with previous approaches this is SU(2) invariant…
B decay sum rules relate exclusive B semileptonic decay matrix elements to forward B-meson matrix elements of operators in HQET. At leading order the operators that occur are the b-quark kinetic energy $\lambda_1$ and chromomagnetic energy…
We provide a lightning review of the construction of (generalised) orbifolds [arXiv:0909.5013, arXiv:1210.6363] of two-dimensional quantum field theories in terms of topological defects, along the lines of [arXiv:1307.3141]. This universal…
A recent paper [1] (El Aroudi, 2012) misapplied a critical condition (Fang and Abed, 2001) to a well-known example. Even if the mistake is corrected, the results in [1] are applicable only to buck converters and period-doubling bifurcation.…
The control landscape of a quantum system $A$ interacting with another quantum system $B$ is studied. Only system $A$ is accessible through time dependent controls, while system B is not accessible. The objective is to find controls that…
We argue that the recently published CLAS results on the deuteron spin polarizability $\gamma_0$ [Adhikari {\it et al.}, Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett.\ {\bf 120}, 062501 (2018)], as well as their comparisons with chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT),…
We mainly explore the linear algebraic structure like SU(2) or SU(1,1) of the shift operators for some one-dimensional exactly solvable potentials in this paper. During such process, a set of method based on original diagonalizing technique…
There are three main components to this article: (i) A formula for the eta invariant of the signature complex for any finite subgroup of ${\rm{SO}}(4)$ acting freely on $S^3$ is given. An application of this is a non-existence result for…
We consider lambda and anisotropic deformations of the SU(2) principal chiral model and show how they can be quantized in the Hamiltonian formalism on a lattice as a suitable spin chain. The spin chain is related to the higher spin XXZ…
We calculate the two-loop QCD correction to the form factors of on-shell b-quark decay to an energetic massless quark, which constitutes the last missing piece required for an O(alpha_s^2) determination of |V_ub| from inclusive…
In the past few years there has been a tumultuous activity aimed at introducing novel conceptual schemes for quantum computing. The approach proposed in (Marzuoli A and Rasetti M 2002, 2005a) relies on the (re)coupling theory of SU(2)…
A recent paper promises new constructions that may make it possible to achieve covariance in spherically symmetric models of loop quantum gravity. This claim is contrary to the discovery of several stubborn obstacles to covariance uncovered…
In this paper we will develop an axiomatic foundation for the geometric study of straight edge, protractor, and compass constructions, which while being related to previous foundations, will be the first to have all axioms written and all…
We derive the operator content of the closed SU(2)_q invariant quantum chain for generic values of the deformation parameter q.
