Think Different: Applying the Old Macintosh Mantra to the Computability of the SUSY Auxiliary Field Problem
Starting with valise supermultiplets obtained from 0-branes plus field
redefinitions, valise adinkra networks, and the "Garden Algebra," we discuss an
architecture for algorithms that (starting from on-shell theories and, through
a well-defined computation procedure), search for off-shell completions. We
show in one dimension how to directly attack the notorious "off-shell auxiliary
field" problem of supersymmetry with algorithms in the adinkra network-world
formulation.Comment: 28 pages, 1 figur
A Proposal on Culling & Filtering a Coxeter Group for 4D, N = 1 Spacetime SUSY Representations: Revised
We present an expanded and detailed discussion of the mathematical tools required to cull and filter representations of the Coxeter Group BC 4 into providing bases for the construction of minimal off-shell representations of the 4D, N role= presentation style= box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-table; line-height: normal; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative; \u3eNN = 1 spacetime supersymmetry algebra
Spectral energy distributions of quasars selected in the mid-infrared
We present preliminary results on fitting of SEDs to 142 z>1 quasars selected
in the mid-infrared. Our quasar selection finds objects ranging in extinction
from highly obscured, type-2 quasars, through more lightly reddened type-1
quasars and normal type-1s. We find a weak tendency for the objects with the
highest far-infrared emission to be obscured quasars, but no bulk systematic
offset between the far-infrared properties of dusty and normal quasars as might
be expected in the most naive evolutionary schemes. The hosts of the type-2
quasars have stellar masses comparable to those of radio galaxies at similar
redshifts. Many of the type-1s, and possibly one of the type-2s require a very
hot dust component in addition to the normal torus emission.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of The Spectral

Radio and near-infrared observations of the steep spectrum Galactic plane radio source WKB 0314+57.8
Radio and near-infared observations towards the steep spectrum Galactic plane
radio source WKB 0314+57.8 are presented, in order to clarify the nature of
this source. The radio observations include archival and survey data, together
with new Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observations at 617 MHz. The
near-infrared observations are in the J and K bands, from the Gemini instrument
on the Shane 3-m telescope. The radio observations show that WKB 0314+57.8 is
extended, with an very steep spectrum (with flux density proportional to
frequency to -2.5 power between 40 MHz and 1.5 GHz). The colour--magnitude
diagram constructed from near-infrared observations of the field suggests the
presence of a z approx 0.08 galaxy cluster behind the Galactic plane, reddened
by about 6 magnitudes of visual extinction. Although the steep spectrum source
has no obvious identification, two other radio sources in the field covered by
the near-infrared observations have tentative identifications with galaxies.
These observations indicate that WKB 0314+57.8 is a relic source in a cluster
of galaxies, not a pulsar.Comment: 6 pages, to appear in MNRAS, typos correcte
Consistent two--dimensional chiral gravity
We study chiral induced gravity in the light-cone gauge and show that the
theory is consistent for a particular choice of chiralities. The corresponding
Kac--Moody central charge has no forbidden region of complex values.
Generalized analysis of the critical exponents is given and their relation to
the vacuum states is elucidated. All the parameters containing
information about the theory can be traced back to the characteristics of the
group of residual symmetry in the light--cone gauge.Comment: 38 pages, LateX, to appear in Int.J.Mod.Phys.
4D, N = 1 Supersymmetry Genomics (I)
Presented in this paper the nature of the supersymmetrical representation
theory behind 4D, N = 1 theories, as described by component fields, is
investigated using the tools of Adinkras and Garden Algebras. A survey of
familiar matter multiplets using these techniques reveals they are described by
two fundamental valise Adinkras that are given the names of the cis-Valise
(c-V) and the trans-Valise (t-V). A conjecture is made that all off-shell 4D, N
= 1 component descriptions of supermultiplets are associated with two integers
- the numbers of c-V and t-V Adinkras that occur in the representation.Comment: 53 pages, 19 figures, Report-II of SSTPRS 2008 Added another chapter
