Finiteness of small factor analysis models

Abstract: We consider small factor analysis models with one or two factors. Fixing the number of factors, we prove a finiteness result about the covariance matrix parameter space when the size of the covariance matrix increases. According to this result, there exists a distinguished matrix size starting at which one can determine whether a given covariance matrix belongs to the parameter space ...

Class of self-dual models in three dimensions

In the present paper we introduce a hierarchical class of self-dual models in three dimensions, inspired in the original self-dual theory of Towsend-Pilch-Nieuwenhuizen. The basic strategy is to explore the powerful property of the duality transformations in order to generate a new field. The generalized propagator can be written in terms of the primitive one ~first order!, and also the respect...

Self-dual and quasi self-dual algebras

A self-dual algebra is an associative or Lie algebra A together with an A bimodule isomorphism A → A∨op, where A∨ = Homk(A, k), the dual bimodule to A (considered as an A bimodule), and A∨op is the the same underlying k module as A∨ but is an A bimodule whose left operation by an element a ∈ A is the same as the right operation by a on A∨, and similarly with left and right interchanged. This in...

Self-dual polygons and self-dual curves

We study projectively self-dual polygons and curves in the projective plane. Our results provide a partial answer to problem No 1994-17 in the book of Arnold’s problems (2004).
