Thoughts on Duality and Fundamental Constants

چکیده

We consider some fundamental constants from the point of view of the duality symmetry. Our analysis of duality is focused on three issues: the maximum radiated power of gravitational waves, the cosmological constant, and the Hydrogen atom energy. We show that the maximum radiated power of gravitational waves implies that the Planck time is a minimal time. Furthermore, we prove that duality implies a quantization of the cosmological constant. Finally, by using one of the Euler series for the number π we show that the Dirac electric-magnetic charge quantization implies a mass for the magnetic monopole (or neutrino) of the order of 10 the mass of the electron.

Advent of Non-Abelian Vortices and Monopoles – further thoughts about duality and confinement

Recent development on non-Abeliann vortices and monopoles is reviewed with an emphasis on their relevance on confinement and duality. A very recent construction of non-Abelian vortices which do not dynamically Abelianize is crucial in this context.

Title Fuzzy Topology and Łukasiewicz Logics from the

This paper explores relationships between many-valued logic and fuzzy topology from the viewpoint of duality theory. We first show a fuzzy topological duality for the algebras of Lukasiewicz n-valued logic with truth constants, which generalizes Stone duality for Boolean algebras to the n-valued case via fuzzy topology. Then, based on this duality, we show a fuzzy topological duality for the al...

A note on symmetric duality in vector optimization problems

In this paper, we establish weak and strong duality theorems for a pair of multiobjective symmetric dual problems. This removes several omissions in the paper "Symmetric and self duality in vector optimization problem, Applied Mathematics and Computation 183 (2006) 1121-1126".

On the duality of quadratic minimization problems using pseudo inverses

‎In this paper we consider the minimization of a positive semidefinite quadratic form‎, ‎having a singular corresponding matrix $H$‎. ‎We state the dual formulation of the original problem and treat both problems only using the vectors $x in mathcal{N}(H)^perp$ instead of the classical approach of convex optimization techniques such as the null space method‎. ‎Given this approach and based on t...
