چکیده

The key to membrane theory is to enlarge the diffeomorphism group until 4D gravity becomes almost topological. Just one ghost survives and its central charges can cancel against matter. A simple bosonic membrane emerges, but its flat D = 28 target space is unstable. Adding supersym-metry ought to give calculable (2,2) membranes in 12 target dimensions, but (2,1) membranes won't work.

I examine the uncertainty of perturbative QCD factorization for (un)polarized hadron structure functions in deep inelastic scattering at a large value of the Bjorken variable xB. The focus will be on Target Mass Corrections and Jet Mass Corrections in the collinear factorization framework.

We consider deformations of torsion-freeG2 structures, defined by theG2-invariant 3-form φ and compute the expansion of ∗φ to fourth order in the deformations of φ. By considering M -theory compactified on a G2 manifold, the G2 moduli space is naturally complexified, and we get a Kähler metric on it. Using the expansion of ∗φ we work out the full curvature of this metric and relate it to the Yu...

We introduce the class of projective reflection groups which includes all complex reflection groups. We show that several aspects involving the combinatorics and the representation theory of all non exceptional irreducible complex reflection groups find a natural description in this wider setting.

In this paper we address several aspects of flat Bogomolnyi-PrasadSommerfeld (BPS) domain walls together with their Lorentz invariant vacua of 4d N = 1 supergravity coupled to a chiral multiplet. The scalar field spans a one-parameter family of 2d Kähler manifolds satisfying a Kähler-Ricci flow equation. We find that BPS equations and the scalar potential deform with respect to the real paramet...
