It is explained that the chiral WZNW phase space is a quasi-Poisson space with respect to the ‘canonical’ Lie quasi-bialgebra which is the classical limit of Drinfeld’s quasi-Hopf deformation of the universal enveloping algebra. This exemplifies the notion of quasi-Poisson-Lie symmetry introduced recently by Alekseev and Kosmann-Schwarzbach. PACS codes: 11.25.Hf, 11.10.Kk, 11.30.Na keywords: WZ...

s — In this paper, we extend the techniques used in Grid-based Monte Carlo applications to Grid-based quasi-Monte Carlo applications. These techniques include an N-out-of-M strategy for efficiently scheduling subtasks on the Grid, lightweight checkpointing for Grid subtask status recovery, a partial result validation scheme to verify the correctness of each individual partial result, and an int...
