The partially alternating ternary sum in an associative dialgebra
The alternating ternary sum in an associative algebra, , gives rise to the partially alternating ternary sum in an
associative dialgebra with products and by making the
argument the center of each term: . We use computer algebra to determine the polynomial identities in
degree satisfied by this new trilinear operation. In degrees 3 and 5 we
obtain and ; these identities define a new variety of partially alternating ternary
algebras. We show that there is a 49-dimensional space of multilinear
identities in degree 7, and we find equivalent nonlinear identities. We use the
representation theory of the symmetric group to show that there are no new
identities in degree 9.Comment: 14 page
\delta-derivations of n-ary algebras
We defined \delta-derivations of n-ary algebras. We described
\delta-derivations of (n+1)-dimensional n-ary Filippov algebras and simple
finite-dimensional Filippov algebras over algebraically closed field zero
characteristic, and simple ternary Malcev algebra M_8. We constructed new
examples of non-trivial \delta-derivations of Filippov algebras and new
examples of non-trivial antiderivations of simple Filippov algebras.Comment: 12 page
The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the Standard Model
194 pages, 103 figures, bib files for the citation references are available from: https://muon-gm2-theory.illinois.eduWe review the present status of the Standard Model calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. This is performed in a perturbative expansion in the fine-structure constant and is broken down into pure QED, electroweak, and hadronic contributions. The pure QED contribution is by far the largest and has been evaluated up to and including with negligible numerical uncertainty. The electroweak contribution is suppressed by and only shows up at the level of the seventh significant digit. It has been evaluated up to two loops and is known to better than one percent. Hadronic contributions are the most difficult to calculate and are responsible for almost all of the theoretical uncertainty. The leading hadronic contribution appears at and is due to hadronic vacuum polarization, whereas at the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution appears. Given the low characteristic scale of this observable, these contributions have to be calculated with nonperturbative methods, in particular, dispersion relations and the lattice approach to QCD. The largest part of this review is dedicated to a detailed account of recent efforts to improve the calculation of these two contributions with either a data-driven, dispersive approach, or a first-principle, lattice-QCD approach. The final result reads and is smaller than the Brookhaven measurement by 3.7. The experimental uncertainty will soon be reduced by up to a factor four by the new experiment currently running at Fermilab, and also by the future J-PARC experiment. This and the prospects to further reduce the theoretical uncertainty in the near future-which are also discussed here-make this quantity one of the most promising places to look for evidence of new physics
