The Narain lattice construction of string compactifications is generalized to include spontaneously broken supersymmetry. Consistency conditions from modular invariance and Lorentz symmetry are solved in full generality. This framework incorporates models where supersymmetry breaking is inversely proportional to the radii of compact dimensions. The enhanced lattice description, however, might a...

We associate with each graph (S, E) a 2-step simply connected nilpotent Lie group N and a lattice Γ in N . We determine the group of Lie automorphisms of N and apply the result to describe a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of the graph, for the compact nilmanifold N/Γ to admit an Anosov automorphism. Using the criterion we obtain new examples of compact nilmanifolds admitting Anoso...

A net (xα) in a Banach lattice X is said to un-converge to a vector x if ∥∥|xα−x|∧u∥∥→ 0 for every u ∈ X+. In this paper, we investigate un-topology, i.e., the topology that corresponds to un-convergence. We show that un-topology agrees with the norm topology iff X has a strong unit. Un-topology is metrizable iff X has a quasi-interior point. Suppose that X is order continuous, then un-topology...

In this note, we will show that the fundamental group of any negatively δ-pinched (δ > 14) manifold can’t be the fundamental group of a quasi-compact Kähler manifold. As a consequence of our proof, we also show that any nonuniform lattice in F4(−20) cannot be the fundamental group of a quasi-compact Kähler manifold. The corresponding result for uniform lattices was proved by Carlson and Hernánd...

We give geometric characterisations of patch and Lawson topologies in the context of predicative point-free topology using the constructive notion of located subset. We present the patch topology of a stably locally compact formal topology by a geometric theory whose models are the points of the given topology that are located, and the Lawson topology of a continuous lattice by a geometric theo...

Fully packed loop models on the square and the honeycomb lattice constitute new classes of critical behaviour, distinct from those of the low-temperature O(n) model. A simple symmetry argument suggests that such compact phases are only possible when the underlying lattice is bipartite. Motivated by the hope of identifying further compact universality classes we therefore study the fully packed ...

SU(N) gauge fields on a cylindrical spacetime are canonically quantized via two routes revealing almost equivalent but different quantizations. After removing all continuous gauge degrees of freedom, the canonical coordinate Aμ (in the Cartan subalgebra h) is quantized. The compact route, as in lattice gauge theory, quantizes the Wilson loop W , projecting out gauge invariant wavefunctions on t...

In this paper, we intend to study a connection between rough sets and lattice theory. We introduce the concepts of upper and lower rough ideals (filters) in a lattice. Then, we offer some of their properties with regard to prime ideals (filters), the set of all fixed points, compact elements, and homomorphisms. 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The concept of weakorthogonality for a Banach lattice is examined. A proof that in such a lattice non expansive self maps of a non empty weakly compact convex set have fixed points is outlined. A geometric generalization of weakorthogonality is introduced and related to the Opial condition. AMS subject classification: 47H10

We complete the quasi-isometric classification of irreducible lattices in semisimple Lie groups over nondiscrete locally compact fields of characteristic zero by showing that any quasi-isometry of a rank one S-arithmetic lattice in a semisimple Lie group over nondiscrete locally compact fields of characteristic zero is a finite distance in the sup-norm from a commensurator.
