Ghys and Sergiescu proved in the 1980s that Thompson's group T, and hence F, admits actions by C-infinity diffeomorphisms of the circle. They proved that the standard actions of these groups are topologically conjugate to a group of C-infinity diffeomorphi ...
A sample of 1.3 x 10^(5) K^(+) → π^(0)e^(+)νγ candidates with less than 1% background was collected by the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS in 2017-2018. Branching fraction measurements are obtained at percent relative precision in three restricted kinemati ...
We consider two theories undergoing the same spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern but with different representations of an order parameter under the Lorentz group. The effective description of the first theory includes a massive Nambu-Goldstone field, whi ...
We explore consequences of the Averaged Null Energy Condition (ANEC) for scaling dimensions Delta of operators in four-dimensional N = 1 superconformal field theories. We show that in many cases the ANEC bounds are stronger than the corresponding unitarity ...
Eigenmode coalescence imparts remarkable properties to non-Hermitian time evolution, culminating in a purely non-Hermitian spectral degeneracy known as an exceptional point (EP). Here, we revisit time evolution around EPs, looking at both static and period ...
We construct and study supersymmetric extension of the Einstein-aether gravitational theory. Using superfield formalism we carry out unique linearized Lorentz violating supergravity action invariant under super-gauge transformations and obtain its bosonic ...
We apply numerical conformal bootstrap techniques to the four-point function of a Weyl spinor in 4d non-supersymmetric CFTs. We find universal bounds on operator dimensions and OPE coefficients, including bounds on operators in mixed symmetry representatio ...
Recently, SU(3) chains in the symmetric and self-conjugate representations have been studied using field theory techniques. For certain representations, namely rank-psymmetric ones with pnot a multiple of 3, it was argued that the ground state exhibits gap ...
We study the kinematics of correlation functions of local and extended operators in a conformal field theory. We present a new method for constructing the tensor structures associated to primary operators in an arbitrary bosonic representation of the Loren ...
A novel, cost-effective, real-time and on-line method for measuring the generated micro-vibrations and iden- tifying the forces in a magnetic bearing space actuator is proposed. For its validation, an actively-controlled electrodynamic (Lorentz-type) magne ...
