Solving M-theory with the Conformal Bootstrap
We use the conformal bootstrap to perform a precision study of 3d maximally
supersymmetric () SCFTs that describe the IR physics on
coincident M2-branes placed either in flat space or at a \C^4/\Z_2
singularity. First, using the explicit Lagrangians of ABJ(M)
\cite{Aharony:2008ug,Aharony:2008gk} and recent supersymmetric localization
results, we calculate certain half and quarter-BPS OPE coefficients, both
exactly at small , and approximately in a large expansion that we
perform to all orders in . Comparing these values with the numerical
bootstrap bounds leads us to conjecture that some of these theories obey an OPE
coefficient minimization principle. We then use this conjecture as well as the
extremal functional method to reconstruct the first few low-lying scaling
dimensions and OPE coefficients for both protected and unprotected multiplets
that appear in the OPE of two stress tensor multiplets for all values of .
We also calculate the half and quarter-BPS operator OPE coefficients in the
BLG theory for all values of the Chern-Simons
coupling , and show that generically they do not obey the same OPE
coefficient minimization principle.Comment: 30 pages, 5 figures, v2 submitted for publicatio
A New Duality Between Superconformal Field Theories in Three Dimensions
We propose a new duality between two 3d superconformal
Chern-Simons-matter theories: the ABJM theory and a
theory consisting of the product between the BLG theory and a free theory of
eight real scalars and eight Majorana fermions. As evidence supporting this
duality, we show that the moduli spaces, superconformal indices,
partition functions, and certain OPE coefficients of BPS operators in the two
theories agree.Comment: 29 pages, 2 figure
The supervisory implications of financial globalization: three views
At the 1989 Lake Bluff conference on globalization, three authorities presented their personal—and conflicting—views on international financial regulation in general, and the 1988 BIS-sponsored Basle agreement, in particular.International finance ; Bank capital
A Parameterized Simulation of Doppler Lidar
Upcoming missions to explore planetary bodies in the solar system will require accurate position and velocity data during descent in order to land safely at a predesignated site. A Doppler lidar instrument could provide measurements of the altitude, attitude, and velocity of the landing vehicle to supplement the data collected by other instruments. A flexible simulation tool would aid the tasks of designing and testing the functionality of such an instrument.
LadarSIM is a robust parameterized simulation tool developed for time of flight lidar at Utah State University\u27s Center for Advanced Imaging Ladar. This thesis outlines how LadarSIM was modified to include a simulation of Doppler lidar. A study is performed using LadarSIM to determine the effects of varying certain parameters of a Doppler lidar system. Point clouds of landing scenarios generated by the simulation with different scanning patterns are shown
Farm Wages = Cash+
Wages on the farm differ decidedly from wages in the city. Part of this difference applies to the method of payment. It is expressed in the word perquisite
