Measures on Mixing Angles

We address the problem of the apparently very small magnitude of CP violation in the standard model, measured by the Jarlskog invariant J . In order to make statements about probabilities for certain values of J , we seek to find a natural measure on the space of Kobayashi-Maskawa matrices, the double quotient U(1)\SU(3)/U(1). We review several possible, geometrically motivated choices of the m...

A Note on Digitized Angles

When I looked at them, I was sure that there must be a bug either in IDEAL or in the TROFF processor that typeset the IDEAL output, because the long shafts of the arrows did not properly bisect the angle made by the two short lines of the arrowheads. The shafts seemed to be drawn one pixel too high or too low. Chris spent many hours together with Brian Kernighan trying to find out what was wron...

On Generalized Dual Euler Angles

This paper first explores the generalization of Euler angles to the case in which the rotation axes are not necessarily members of an orthonormal triad, and presents a concise solution to their computation that relies on the calculation of standard Euler angles. Then, this generalization is taken one step further by introducing translations, that is, by defining generalized Euler angles about s...

New angles on D-branes

A low-energy background field solution is presented which describes several Dmembranes oriented at angles with respect to one another. The mass and charge densities for this configuration are computed and found to saturate the BPS bound, implying the preservation of one-quarter of the supersymmetries. T-duality is exploited to construct new solutions with nontrivial angles from the basic one. e...
