متن کامل(Re)Constructing Dimensions
Compactifying a higher-dimensional theory defined in R on an n-dimensional manifold M results in a spectrum of four-dimensional (bosonic) fields with masses mi = λi, where −λi are the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on the compact manifold. The question we address in this paper is the inverse: given the masses of the Kaluza-Klein fields in four dimensions, what can we say about the size and shape ...
متن کاملDe-/Re-constructing Model Transformation Languages
The diversity of today’s model transformation languages makes it hard to compare their expressiveness and provide a framework for interoperability. Deconstructing and then re-constructing model transformation languages by means of a unique set of most primitive constructs facilitates both. We thus introduce T-Core, a collection of primitives for model transformation. Combining T-Core with a (pr...
