Vector-valued covariant differential operators for the M\"obius transformation

We obtain a family of functional identities satisfied by vector-valued functions of two variables and their geometric inversions. For this we introduce particular differential operators of arbitrary order attached to Gegenbauer polynomials. These differential operators are symmetry breaking for the pair of Lie groups $(SL(2,\mathbb C), SL(2,\mathbb R))$ that arise from conformal geometry.Comment: To appear in Springer Proceedings in Mathematics and Statistic

Restrictions of generalized Verma modules to symmetric pairs

We initiate a new line of investigation on branching problems for generalized Verma modules with respect to complex reductive symmetric pairs (g,k). Here we note that Verma modules of g may not contain any simple module when restricted to a reductive subalgebra k in general. In this article, using the geometry of K_C orbits on the generalized flag variety G_C/P_C, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the triple (g,k, p) such that the restriction X|_k always contains simple k-modules for any g-module $X$ lying in the parabolic BGG category O^p attached to a parabolic subalgebra p of g. Formulas are derived for the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of any simple k-module occurring in a simple generalized Verma module of g. We then prove that the restriction X|_k is multiplicity-free for any generic g-module X \in O if and only if (g,k) is isomorphic to a direct sum of (A_n,A_{n-1}), (B_n,D_n), or (D_{n+1},B_n). We also see that the restriction X|_k is multiplicity-free for any symmetric pair (g, k) and any parabolic subalgebra p with abelian nilradical and for any generic g-module X \in O^p. Explicit branching laws are also presented.Comment: 31 pages, To appear in Transformation Group

Minimal String Unification and Yukawa Couplings in Orbifold Models

We study the minimal supersymmetric standard model derived from $Z_N \times Z_M$ orbifold models. Moduli dependent threshold corrections of the gauge couplings are investigated to explain the measured values of the coupling constants. Also we study Yukawa couplings of the models. We find that the $Z_2 \times Z_6'$, $Z_2\times Z_6$, $Z_3 \times Z_6$ and $Z_6 \times Z_6$ orbifold models have the possibility to derive Yukawa couplings for the second and third generations as well as the measured gauge coupling constants. Allowed models are shown explicitly by combinations of modular weights for the matter fields.Comment: 26 pages, KANAZAWA-94-10, Latex fil

Hidden gauge structure and derivation of microcanonical ensemble theory of bosons from quantum principles

Microcanonical ensemble theory of bosons is derived from quantum mechanics by making use of a hidden gauge structure. The relative phase interaction associated with this gauge structure, described by the Pegg-Barnett formalism, is shown to lead to perfect decoherence in the thermodynamics limit and the principle of equal a priori probability, simultaneously.Comment: 10 page

Global analysis by hidden symmetry

Hidden symmetry of a G'-space X is defined by an extension of the G'-action on X to that of a group G containing G' as a subgroup. In this setting, we study the relationship between the three objects: (A) global analysis on X by using representations of G (hidden symmetry); (B) global analysis on X by using representations of G'; (C) branching laws of representations of G when restricted to the subgroup G'. We explain a trick which transfers results for finite-dimensional representations in the compact setting to those for infinite-dimensional representations in the noncompact setting when $X_C$ is $G_C$-spherical. Applications to branching problems of unitary representations, and to spectral analysis on pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric spaces are also discussed.Comment: Special volume in honor of Roger Howe on the occasion of his 70th birthda

Quantum Deformation of igl(n) Algebra on Quantum Space

We study quantum deformed $gl(n)$ and $igl(n)$ algebras on a quantum space discussing multi-parametric extension. We realize elements of deformed $gl(n)$ and $igl(n)$ algebras by a quantum fermionic space. We investigate a map between deformed $igl(2)$ algebras of our basis and other basis.Comment: 14 pages, Latex, version published in Mod. Phys. Lett.

Fine-tuning in gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models and induced top Yukawa coupling

It is shown that fine-tuning of the Higgs parameters stronger than a few % is required at the best in the models with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking. With the aim of solving this problem, we consider a new type of models in which the top Yukawa coupling is induced at TeV scale through mass mixing with unknown matter fields. Then it is found that the fine-tuning problem can be eliminated essentially. We discuss some phenomenological features of this model and also consider the extension to the next-to-minimal models.Comment: 14 pages, 9 Postscript figures, uses revtex4.sty, Some comments and a reference added, to appear in Phys.

Supersymmetric Particle Production at HERA

In the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model and the $R$-parity breaking model, we investigate various production processes of the supersymmetric partner at HERA energies. Our emphasis is paid upon the scalar top quark, the partner of top quark, characterized by its lighter mass than the top quark and other scalar quarks in a model. We propose experimentally feasible approaches to search for clean signals of the stop from either its production or decay processes.Comment: 30 pages, LaTeX, 21 figures available upon reques
