On the biparametric quantum deformation of GL(2) x GL(1)

We study the biparametric quantum deformation of GL(2) x GL(1) and exhibit its cross-product structure. We derive explictly the associated dual algebra, i.e., the quantised universal enveloping algebra employing the R-matrix procedure. This facilitates construction of a bicovariant differential calculus which is also shown to have a cross-product structure. Finally, a Jordanian analogue of the deformation is presented as a cross-product algebra.Comment: 16 pages LaTeX, published in JM

Noncommutative spin-1/2 representations

In this letter we apply the methods of our previous paper hep-th/0108045 to noncommutative fermions. We show that the fermions form a spin-1/2 representation of the Lorentz algebra. The covariant splitting of the conformal transformations into a field-dependent part and a \theta-part implies the Seiberg-Witten differential equations for the fermions.Comment: 7 pages, LaTe

IR-Singularities in Noncommutative Perturbative Dynamics?

We analyse the IR-singularities that appear in a noncommutative scalar quantum field theory on $\mathcal{E}_4$. We demonstrate with the help of the quadratic one-loop effective action and an appropriate field redefinition that no IR-singularities exist. No new degrees of freedom are needed to describe the UV/IR-mixing.Comment: 6 pages, amsLaTe

Noncommutative Lorentz Symmetry and the Origin of the Seiberg-Witten Map

We show that the noncommutative Yang-Mills field forms an irreducible representation of the (undeformed) Lie algebra of rigid translations, rotations and dilatations. The noncommutative Yang-Mills action is invariant under combined conformal transformations of the Yang-Mills field and of the noncommutativity parameter \theta. The Seiberg-Witten differential equation results from a covariant splitting of the combined conformal transformations and can be computed as the missing piece to complete a covariant conformal transformation to an invariance of the action.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX. v2: Streamlined proofs and extended discussion of Lorentz transformation

On the Effective Action of Noncommutative Yang-Mills Theory

We compute here the Yang-Mills effective action on Moyal space by integrating over the scalar fields in a noncommutative scalar field theory with harmonic term, minimally coupled to an external gauge potential. We also explain the special regularisation scheme chosen here and give some links to the Schwinger parametric representation. Finally, we discuss the results obtained: a noncommutative possibly renormalisable Yang-Mills theory.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures.

Non-renormalizability of noncommutative SU(2) gauge theory

We analyze the divergent part of the one-loop effective action for the noncommutative SU(2) gauge theory coupled to the fermions in the fundamental representation. We show that the divergencies in the 2-point and the 3-point functions in the $\theta$-linear order can be renormalized, while the divergence in the 4-point fermionic function cannot.Comment: 15 pages, results presented at ESI 2d dilaton gravity worksho

Thermodynamics of adsorption of organic compounds on C-120 silochrome surface with precise layers of nickel acidyl acetoneates, cobalt and copper

Studied the adsorption properties of the surface Silochrom C-120 and chemically modified on the basis of its sorption materials containing acetylacetonates of nickel, cobalt and copper. As test compounds were used n-alkanes (C[6]-C[9]) and the adsorbates whose molecules have different electron-withdrawing and electron donating properties. From the experimental data on the retention of adsorbates designed their differential molar heat of adsorption qdif, 1, change the standard differential molar entropy [delta]S[S1], C and for polar adsorbates contributions [delta] q[dif],1(spec) for energy dispersive and specific interactions

Topological Graph Polynomials in Colored Group Field Theory

In this paper we analyze the open Feynman graphs of the Colored Group Field Theory introduced in [arXiv:0907.2582]. We define the boundary graph \cG_{\partial} of an open graph \cG and prove it is a cellular complex. Using this structure we generalize the topological (Bollobas-Riordan) Tutte polynomials associated to (ribbon) graphs to topological polynomials adapted to Colored Group Field Theory graphs in arbitrary dimension
