GLSMs for non-Kähler geometries

We identify a simple mechanism by which H-flux satisfying the modified Bianchi identity arises in garden-variety (0, 2) gauged linear sigma models. Taking suitable limits leads to effective gauged linear sigma models with Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation. We test the quantumconsistency of a class of such effective theories by constructing an off-shell superconformal algebra, identifying unexp...

Background: Ascorbate biosynthesis in plants occurs mainly via the L-galactose pathway. Results: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii VTC2 encodes a GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase whose transcript levels are induced in response to oxidative stress concurrent with increased ascorbate accumulation. Conclusion: Increased oxidative stress in C. reinhardtii results in an enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant r...

EXOTIC NUCLEI FROM A THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE 02 i

One of the main frontiers of nuclear structure today is the physics of radioactive nuclear beams. Experiments with radioactive beams will make it possible to look closely into many aspects of the nuclear many-body problem. What makes this subject both exciting and difficult is: (i) the weak binding and corresponding closeness of the particle continuum, implying a large diffuseness of the nuclea...
