We qualitatively discuss the Montonen-Olive electric-magnetic duality in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with non-maximally broken gauge symmetry, where BPS configurations of massless monopole clouds have been found. We argue that these low energy non-Abelian clouds can be identified as the dual of the infrared bremsstrahlung radiations of the non-Abelian massless particles. After we bre...

A formula constituting the non-Abelian Stokes theorem for general semi-simple compact gauge groups is presented. The formula involves a path integral over a group space and is applicable to Wilson loop variables irrespective of the topology of loops. Some simple expressions analogous to the ’t Hooft tensor of a magnetic monopole are given for the 2-form of interest. A special property in the ca...

the triple factorization of a group $g$ has been studied recently showing that $g=aba$ for some proper subgroups $a$ and $b$ of $g$, the definition of rank-two geometry and rank-two coset geometry which is closely related to the triple factorization was defined and calculated for abelian groups. in this paper we study two infinite classes of non-abelian finite groups $d_{2n}$ and $psl(2,2^{n})$...

Let G be a finite group with a non-abelian minimal normal subgroup N which is a direct product of the simple group X. The maximal subgroups of G which complement N and their conjugacy classes are parametrised in terms of certain homomorphisms taking values in AutX and satisfying particular conditions.

We describe a new kind of transition between topologically distinct N = 2 type II Calabi–Yau vacua through points with enhanced non-abelian gauge symmetries together with fundamental charged matter hyper multiplets. We connect the appearance of matter to the local geometry of the singularity and discuss the relation between the instanton numbers of the Calabi–Yau manifolds taking part in the tr...

We consider the renormalisation of the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term in a softly-broken supersymmetric gauge theory with a non-simple gauge group containing an abelian factor, and present the associated β-function through three loops. We also include in an appendix the result for several abelian factors. We specialise to the case of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), and investigate th...

We call a Clayey graph Γ = Cay(G, S) normal for G, if the right regular representation R(G) of G is normal in the full automorphism group of Aunt(Γ). in this paper, we give a classification of all non-normal Clayey graphs of finite abelian group with valency 6. 

In this paper we extend the results of Kirwan et alii on convexity properties of the moment map for Hamiltonian group actions, and on the connectedness of the fibers of the moment map, to the case of non-compact orbifolds. Our motivation is twofold. First, the category of orbifolds is important in symplectic geometry because, generically, the symplectic quotient of a symplectic manifold is an o...

a $p$-group $g$ is called a $mathcal{cac}$-$p$-group if $c_g(h)/h$ is ‎cyclic for every non-cyclic abelian subgroup $h$ in $g$ with $hnleq‎ ‎z(g)$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we give a complete classification of‎ ‎finite $mathcal{cac}$-$p$-groups‎.
