Free Field Dynamics in the Generalized AdS (Super)Space

Pure gauge representation for general vacuum background fields (Cartan forms) in the generalized $AdS$ superspace identified with $OSp(L,M)$ is found. This allows us to formulate dynamics of free massless fields in the generalized $AdS$ space-time and to find their (generalized) conformal and higher spin field transformation laws. Generic solution of the field equations is also constructed explicitly. The results are obtained with the aid of the star product realization of ortosymplectic superalgebras.Comment: Some notes added, corrected typo

Test of the local form of higher-spin equations via AdS/CFT

The local form of higher-spin equations found recently to the second order [1] is shown to properly reproduce the anticipated $AdS/CFT$ correlators for appropriate boundary conditions. It is argued that consistent $AdS/CFT$ holography for the parity-broken boundary models needs a nontrivial modification of the bosonic truncation of the original higher-spin theory with the doubled number of fields, as well as a nonlinear deformation of the boundary conditions in the higher orders.Comment: 18 pages, Typos and acknowledgement corrected.

Primordial star formation triggered by UV photons from UHECR

The presence of ultra-high energy cosmic rays in the universe in the pre-ionization epoch enhances significantly H$_2$ kinetics in virialized halos. It results in more efficient radiative cooling and decreases the lower mass limit of the first star-forming systems. Consequently, the fraction of baryons contained in the first luminous objects and their contribution to the reionization of the universe can significantly increase in comparison with the standard scenario.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, accepted in A&

Supertraces on the Algebras of Observables of the Rational Calogero Model with Harmonic Potential

We define a complete set of supertraces on the algebra $SH_N(\nu)$, the algebra of observables of the $N$-body rational Calogero model with harmonic interaction. This result extends the previously known results for the simplest cases of $N=1$ and $N=2$ to arbitrary $N$. It is shown that $SH_N(\nu)$ admits $q(N)$ independent supertraces where $q(N)$ is a number of partitions of $N$ into a sum of odd positive integers, so that $q(N)>1$ for $N\ge 3$. Some consequences of the existence of several independent supertraces of $SH_N (\nu )$ are discussed such as the existence of ideals in associated $W_{\infty}$ - type Lie superalgebras.Comment: 22 pages, LATE

Higher Spin Conformal Currents in Minkowski Space

Multi-field approach in mechanics of structural solids

We overview the basic concepts, models, and methods related to the multi-field continuum theory of solids with complex structures. The multi-field theory is formulated for structural solids by introducing a macrocell consisting of several primitive cells and, accordingly, by increasing the number of vector fields describing the response of the body to external factors. Using this approach, we obtain several continuum models and explore their essential properties by comparison with the original structural models. Static and dynamical problems as well as the stability problems for structural solids are considered. We demonstrate that the multi-field approach gives a way to obtain families of models that generalize classical ones and are valid not only for long-, but also for short-wavelength deformations of the structural solid. Some examples of application of the multi-field theory and directions for its further development are also discussed.Comment: 25 pages, 18 figure
