We outline a general construction applicable to the Turaev/Viro [TV], Crane/Yetter [CY] and generalized Turaev/Viro invariants (cf. [Y1]) of invariants valued in complex-valued functions on HD−2(M , GrC), where GrC is the abelian group of functorial tensor automorphisms on the artinian tortile category used to construct the TQFT. Introduction It is the purpose of this note to introduce a constr...

It is shown that the dynamical evolution of perturbations on a static spacetime is governed by a standard pulsation equation for the extrinsic curvature tensor. The centerpiece of the pulsation equation is a wave operator whose spatial part is manifestly self-adjoint. In contrast to metric formulations, the curvature-based approach to perturbation theory generalizes in a natural way to self-gra...

‎In this paper we prove that a finite group $G$ having at most three‎ ‎conjugacy classes of non-normal non-abelian proper subgroups is‎ ‎always solvable except for $Gcong{rm{A_5}}$‎, ‎which extends Theorem 3.3‎ ‎in [Some sufficient conditions on the number of‎ ‎non-abelian subgroups of a finite group to be solvable‎, ‎Acta Math‎. ‎Sinica (English Series) 27 (2011) 891--896.]‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we s...

Information on su(N) tensor product multiplicities is neatly encoded in Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles. Here we study a generalisation of these triangles by allowing negative as well as non-negative integer entries. For a fixed triple product of weights, these generalised Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles span a lattice in which one may move by adding integer linear combinations of so-called vir...

The field theory dual to the Freedman-Townsend model of a non-Abelian anti-symmetric tensor field is a nonlinear sigma model on the group manifold G. This can be extended to the duality between the Freedman-Townsend model coupled to Yang-Mills fields and a nonlinear sigma model on a coset space G/H. We present the supersymmetric extension of this duality, and find that the target space of this ...

We demonstrate that many multivariate wavelets are projectable wavelets; that is, they essentially carry the tensor product (separable) structure though themselves may be non-tensor product (nonseparable) wavelets. We show that a projectable wavelet can be replaced by a tensor product wavelet without loss of desirable properties such as spatial localization, smoothness and vanishing moments.

A geometric theory of tensor product for glN -crystals is described. In particular, the role of Spaltenstein varieties in the tensor product is explained. As a corollary a direct (non-combinatorial) proof of the fact that the number of irreducible components of a Spaltenstein variety is equal to a Littlewood-Richardson coefficient (i.e. certain tensor product multiplicity) is obtained.

We propose an electric-magnetic symmetry group in non-abelian gauge theory, which we call the skeleton group. We work in the context of non-abelian unbroken gauge symmetry, and provide evidence for our proposal by relating the representation theory of the skeleton group to the labelling and fusion rules of charge sectors. We show that the labels of electric, magnetic and dyonic sectors in non-a...

We consider four dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric Type I compactifications on toroidal orbifolds T /Γ. In particular, we focus on the Type I vacua which are perturbative from the orientifold viewpoint, that is, on the compactifications with well defined world-sheet expansion. The number of such models is rather constrained. This allows us to study all such vacua. This, in particular, involves c...

A generalised tensor product G 0 H of groups G, H has been introduced by R. Brown and J.-L. Loday in [3,4]. It arises in applications in homotopy theory of a generalised Van Kampen theorem. The reason why G 0 H does not necessarily reduce to GUh Oz Huh, the usual tensor product over Z of the abelianisations, is that it is assumed that G acts on H (on the left) and H acts on G (on the left), and...
