Are Constants Constant?

چکیده
The prospect of a time-dependent Higgs vacuum expectation value is examined within the standard model of electroweak interactions. It is shown that the classical equation of motion for the Higgs field admits a solution that is a doubly-periodic function of time. The corresponding Dirac equation for the electron field is equivalent to a second order differential equation with doubly-periodic coefficients. In the limit of very large primitive period of the Higgs background this equation can be solved in WKBJ approximation, showing plane-wave solutions with a time-dependent distortion factor which can be made arbitrarily small.

New Criteria for Existence of a Class of Generalized Euler-types Constants
One of the most important mathematical constants is Euler-Mascheroni constant that is the limit of the sequence -------------------------------- and is denoted by gamma. Some other developed constants known as Euler type constants are introduced in order to generalize the above constant. In the present paper, inspired by the functional sequence derivative of the limit summand of functions (i...

The acid-base equilibria of glycine have been studied in different aqueous solutions of 1,4-dioxane(0-50 % by v/v) using potentiometric method. In this study, the macro and micro protonationconstants of the amino acid and its tautomeric constant have been determined at 25 °C and constantionic strength 0.1 mol dm-3 (NaCl). The protonation and the tautomeric constants of glycine indifferent binar...
متن کاملMomentum Transfer Rate Constants for Collision of Cl-with Trans-Dichloroethylene and Para-Difluorobenzene
A classical theory is developed which calculates the momentum transfer rate constant between an ion and a non-polar molecule. The model takes into consideration the effect of diffraction outside the capture limit on the rate constants. The theory is used to calculate momentum transfer rate constant for Cl- with trans-dichloroethylene and para-difluorobenzene. Theoretical results ...
متن کاملA Theoretical Study of the Stability and Dielectric Constants of Molybdate-Phosphonic Acid Complex
In this work, we investigated the stability of Molybdate-Phosphonic Acid (MPA) complex by density functionaltheory (DFT) computations in six solvents with the dielectric constant ranging from 1.92 to 10.36. The methodsare used for calculations are B3LYP and B3PW9 I that have been studied in two series of basis sets: D95nand6-31+G (d,p) for hydrogen and oxygen atoms; LANL2DZ for Mo and Phosphoru...
متن کاملDetermination of constant coefficients of Bourgoyne and Young drilling rate model using a novel evolutionary algorithm
Achieving minimum cost and time in reservoir drilling requires evaluating the effects of the drilling parameters on the penetration rate and constructing a drilling rate estimator model. Several drilling rate models have been presented using the drilling parameters. Among these, the Bourgoyne and Young (BY) model is widely utilized in order to estimate the penetration rate. This model relates s...
متن کاملThe James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and uniform normal structure in Banach spaces
Recently, Takahashi has introduced the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants. In this paper, we present some sufficient conditions for uniform normal structure and therefore the fixed point property of a Banach space in terms of the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and the Ptolemy constant. Our main results of the paper significantly generalize and improve many known results in...
