چکیده

A flow invariant in quantum field theory is a quantity that does not depend on the flow connecting the UV and IR conformal fixed points. We study the flow invariance of the most general sum rule with correlators of the trace Θ of the stress tensor. In even (four and six) dimensions we recover the results known from the gravitational embedding. We derive the sum rules for the trace anomalies a and a in six dimensions. In three dimensions, where the gravitational embedding is more difficult to use, we find a non-trivial vanishing relation for the flow integrals of the threeand four-point functions of Θ. Within a class of sum rules containing finitely many terms, we do not find a non-vanishing flow invariant of type a in odd dimensions. We comment on the implications of our results.

Geometric construction of spinors in orthogonal modular categories

A geometric construction of Z2–graded odd and even orthogonal modular categories is given. Their 0–graded parts coincide with categories previously obtained by Blanchet and the author from the category of tangles modulo the Kauffman skein relations. Quantum dimensions and twist coefficients of 1–graded simple objects (spinors) are calculated. We show that invariants coming from our odd and even...

Skolem Odd Difference Mean Graphs

In this paper we define a new labeling called skolem odd difference mean labeling and investigate skolem odd difference meanness of some standard graphs. Let G = (V,E) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. G is said be skolem odd difference mean if there exists a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , p + 3q − 3} satisfying f is 1−1 and the induced map f : E(G) → {1, 3, 5, . . . , 2q−1} de...

Construction of conformally compact Einstein manifolds

We produce some explicit examples of conformally compact Einstein manifolds, whose conformal compactifications are foliated by Riemannian products of a closed Einstein manifold with the total space of a principal circle bundle over products of Kähler-Einstein manifolds. We compute the associated conformal invariants, i.e., the renormalized volume in even dimensions and the conformal anomaly in ...

The DNA of Snakes

The Snake in the Box problem is an NP-Hard problem. The goal is to find the longest maximal snakes (a certain kind of path satisfying particular constraints described as “spread”) in an n-dimensional hypercube [8]. With increasing dimensions the search space grows exponentially and the search for snakes becomes more and more difficult. This article identifies an underlying pattern among the kno...

Analytic Approach to Investigation of Fluctuation and Frequency of the Oscillators with Odd and Even Nonlinearities

In this paper we examine fluctuation and frequency of the governing equation ofoscillator with odd and even nonlinearities without damping and we present a new efficientmodification of the He’s homotopy perturbation method for this equation. We applied standard andmodified homotopy perturbation method and compare them with the numerical solution (NS), also weapplied He’s Energy balance method (...
