In this paper we study the finite temperature SU(2) gauge theory with staggered fermions for non-zero imaginary and real chemical potential. The method of analytical continuation of Monte Carlo results from imaginary to real chemical potential is tested by comparison with simulations performed directly for real chemical potential. We discuss the applicability of the method in the different regi...

We study localization properties of a one-dimensional disordered system characterized by a random non-hermitean hamiltonian where both the randomness and the non-hermiticity arises in the local site-potential; its real part being ordered (fixed), and a random imaginary part implying the presence of either a random absorption or amplification at each site. The transmittance (forward scattering) ...

This paper is concerned with the issue of ageism and its salience in current debates about COVID-19 pandemic. In it, we address question how best to interpret impact that pandemic has had on older population. While many feel angry at what they see as discriminatory lock-down practices confining people their homes, others are equally by failure state responses protect preserve health people, esp...

A real hyperelliptic curve X is said to be Gaussian if there is an automorphism α : XC → XC such that α = [−1]C ◦ α, where [−1] denotes the hyperelliptic involution on X. Gaussian curves arise naturally in several contexts, for example when one studies real Jacobians. In the present paper we study the properties of Gaussian curves and we describe their moduli spaces.

Let $G = {rm Res}_{F/mathbb{Q}}(GL_n)$ where $F$ is a number field‎. ‎Let $S^G_{K_f}$ denote an ad`elic locally symmetric space for some level structure $K_f.$ Let ${mathcal M}_{mu,{mathbb C}}$ be an algebraic irreducible representation of $G({mathbb R})$ and we let $widetilde{mathcal{M}}_{mu,{mathbb C}}$ denote the associated sheaf on $S^G_{K_f}.$ The aim of this paper is to classify the data ...

The science we practice is shaped by our interactions with people; the enthusiastic teachers, the fascinating mentors, the inspiring colleagues, and the inquisitive students. The science we enjoy takes us into areas we couldn't have anticipated. From time to time, we come back to reality and try to find ways to share our new explorations with our friends and relatives and to convert our insight...

this paper is an attempt to explore how lacanian concepts of desire, unconscious, as well as alienation are reflected in the major characters of vladimir vladimirovich nabokov’s lolita. before unleashing the new, inexplicable yet highly fascinating aspects of psychoanalysis by the advent of french poststructuralist and psychoanalyst jacques lacan, freudian psychoanalysis used to play the pivota...

In a related paper we have obtained that the effective action for a κ-deformed quantum field theory has a real and an imaginary part. The real part is half the sum of the κ-deformed zero mode frequencies, while the imaginary part is proportional to the sum of the squares of the zero mode frequencies, being the proportionality constant equal to the inverse of 2πκ. Here we calculate this imaginar...
