Renormalization of Horava gravity

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mario Herrero Valea

We prove perturbative renormalizability of projectable Horava gravity. The key element of the argument is the choice of a gauge which ensures the correct anisotropic scaling of the propagators and their uniform falloff at large frequencies and momenta. Thi ...

On the global structure of deformed Yang-Mills theory and QCD(adj) on R-3 x S-1

Spatial compactification on R(3)xS(L)(1), at small S-1-size L often leads to a calculable vacuum structure, where various "topological molecules" are responsible for confinement and the realization of the center and discrete chiral symmetries. Within this ...

Expansivity and Roquette groups

Alex Monnard

We prove the non-existence of expansive subgroups with trivial global core in different families of Roquette groups. This study is motivated by the importance of expansive subgroups in the theory of stabilizing bisets highlighted in [4]. ...

Non-Abelian Gauge Fields in Photonic Cavities and Photonic Superfluids

Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We show that the TE-TM modes splitting and the structure anisotropy of a semiconductor microcavity combine into a non-Abelian gauge field for exciton-polaritons or cavity photons. The field texture can be tuned simply by rotating the sample and ranges cont ...

Controlled stripes of ultrafine ferroelectric domains

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Igor Stolichnov, Tomas Sluka, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Petr Yudin, Ludwig Feigl, Xiankui Wei, Mahamudu Mtebwa, Konstantin Shapovalov

In the pursuit of ferroic-based (nano) electronics, it is essential to minutely control domain patterns and domain switching. The ability to control domain width, orientation and position is a prerequisite for circuitry based on fine domains. Here, we deve ...

Algebraic Nahm transform for parabolic Higgs bundles on P^1

Szilárd Szabó

We formulate the Nahm transform in the context of parabolic Higgs bundles on P^1 and extend its scope in completely algebraic terms. This transform requires parabolic Higgs bundles to satisfy an admissibility condition and allows Higgs fields to have poles ...

Metastable spontaneous breaking of N=2 supersymmetry

Claudio Scrucca, Paul Smyth, Benoît Légeret

We show that contrary to the common lore it is possible to spontaneously break N = 2 supersymmetry even in simple theories without constant Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. We consider the most general N = 2 supersymmetric theory with one hypermultiplet and one vec ...

Representations of Super Yang-Mills Algebras

We study in this article the representation theory of a family of super algebras, called the super Yang-Mills algebras, by exploiting the Kirillov orbit method à la Dixmier for nilpotent super Lie algebras. These super algebras are an extension of the so-c ...

Selection rules for helicity amplitudes in massive gauge theories

Paolo Lodone

After a rediscussion of the vanishing theorems for helicity amplitudes in unbroken gauge theories, we study the case of spontaneously broken gauge theories at high energy. The vanishing theorems generalize to a definite pattern of m/E suppression of the am ...

Design-dependent gauge factors of highly doped n-type 4H-SiC piezoresistors

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Terunobu Akiyama

This paper presents the experimentally obtained gauge factor (GF) of 4H-SiC piezoresistors, fabricated out of the n-type epitaxial layer and characterized on millimeter-size SiC cantilever beams at room temperature. It was found that the GF is dependent on ...
