Two forms of anomalies for chiral spinors living on submanifolds of the space-time are obtained from the integrality theorem for immersions. The first form of the chiral anomaly is the usual for chiral spinors living on D-brane and O-plane intersections, the second form is exotic.

The Euler-Lagrange equations of recently introduced chiral action principles are discussed using Lie algebra-valued differential forms. Symmetries of the equations and the chiral description of Einstein’s vacuum equations are presented. A class of Lagrangians, which contains the chiral formulations, is exhibited. † Mathematics Department, King’s College London, Strand, London WC2R 2LS, UK 1

We present the current status of the MILC collaboration’s calculations of the properties of the light pseudoscalar meson sector. We use asqtad staggered ensembles with 2+1 dynamical flavors down to a≈ 0.045 fm and light quark mass down to 0.05ms. Here we describe fits to the data using chiral forms from SU(3) chiral perturbation theory, including all staggered taste violations at NLO and the co...

A hexafullereno-diporphyrinoid was obtained in a sequence of cycloaddition steps using porphyrins programmed for [4+2]-cycloaddition reactions and C(60)-fullerene.

Abstract: Many compounds occur in Nature in both enantiomeric forms. This chiral chemodiversity is common among certain classes of natural products whereas other classes of compounds usually occur in only one of the enantiomeric forms. Thus triterpenoids and steroids belong to the same enantiomeric family. On the other hand, many of the lower terpenoids (monosesqui-, and diterpenoids) are prese...

carbon nanotubes (cnts) are specific structures with valuable characteristics. in general, the structure of each nanotube is defined by a unique chiral vector. in this paper, different structures of short single-walled cnts are simulated and their mechanical properties are determined using finite element method. for this aim, a simple algorithm is presented which is able to model the geometry o...

One of the problems encountered in CE separations of basic compounds is the adsorption of analytes onto the negatively charged capillary wall which could lead to poor repeatability of migration time and peak area. Additionally, separation of enantiomers of chiral of basic drugs is commonly carried out in low pH buffer which contributes to strong ionic interaction of the cationic drug ions with ...

The use of polarized light for investigation of optically turbid systems has generated much recent interest since it has been shown that multiple scattering does not fully scramble the incident polarization states. It is possible under some conditions to measure polarization signals in diffusely scattered light, and use this information to characterize the structure or composition of the turbid...

An important property of electromagnetic fields, which arises from the interaction between fields and chiral molecules, is called optical chirality. By enhancing this field property, while maintaining constant input power, we are able to increase absorption of circularly polarized light by chiral molecules of a certain handedness. This enhancement is achieved through the use of achiral plasmoni...

Chiral pool α-amino acids have been used as powerful tools for the total synthesis of structurally diverse natural products. Some common naturally occurring α-amino acids are readily available in both enantiomerically pure forms. The applications of the chiral pool in asymmetric synthesis can be categorized prudently as chiral sources, devices, and inducers. This review specifically examines re...
