Existence of fixed point in orthogonal metric spaces has been initiated recently by Eshaghi and et al. [On orthogonal sets and Banach fixed Point theorem, Fixed Point Theory, in press]. In this paper, we introduce the notion of the strongly orthogonal sets and prove a genuine generalization of Banach' fixed point theorem and Walter's theorem. Also, we give an example showing that our main theor...

The performance of the Paci¢c white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) under various stocking strategies was evaluated in earthen ponds ¢lled with freshwater amended with major ions. Six 0.1-ha earthen ponds located in Pine Blu¡, AR, USA, were ¢lled with freshwater in 2003 and 2004, and potassium magnesium sulphate added to provide 50mgK L 1 and stock salt added to provide 0.5 g L 1 salinity. ...

Quark-antiquark bound states are examined in the long-range strong-coupling limit with the minimal area law of lattice gauge theory assumed as input. Matrix element relations are established which in the eeective theory obtain dynamical equations equivalent to a formulation of the ux-tube model.

A review and critique of the Isgur-Paton flux tube model of hadronic physics is presented. This entails a detailed comparison with recent lattice gauge theory results which exposes both the successes and shortcomings of the model. Applications to hybrid masses, meson and hybrid meson decays, hadronic charge radii, the spin-orbit force, baryonic hybrids, and hybrid photocouplings are also discus...

An analysis of the monopole loop length distribution is performed in Wilson-action SU(2) lattice gauge theory. A pure power law in the inverse length is found, at least for loops of length, l, less than the linear lattice size N. This power shows a definite β dependence, passing 5 around β = 2.9, and appears to have very little finite lattice size dependence. It is shown that when this power ex...

I review some recent theories of Physics Beyond the Standard Model whose development could benefit from lattice simulations.

The classical superconformal actions of branes in adS superspaces have a closed form depending on a matrix M quadratic in fermions, as found in hep-th/9805217. One can gauge-fix the local κ-symmetry using the Killing spinors of the brane in the bulk. We show that in such gauges the superconformal actions are simplified dramatically since M = 0 in all cases. The relation between classical and ga...

We propose a scenario in which the electroweak symmetry is spontaneously broken by an SU(4) technicolor gauge interaction which also manages to break itself completely. The technicolor gauge bosons and technifermions are not confined by the technicolor force, but get large masses. Starting with a single technidoublet, one emerges with a complete standard model family of technifermions after the...

Let U be a matrix chosen randomly, with respect to Haar measure, from the unitary group U(d). For any k ≤ d, and any k × k submatrix Uk of U, we express the average value of |Tr(Uk)| as a sum over partitions of n with at most k rows whose terms count certain standard and semistandard Young tableaux. We combine our formula with a variant of the Colour-Flavour Transformation of lattice gauge theo...
