Non-rationality of some fibrations associated to Klein surfaces

We study the polynomial fibration induced by the equation of the Klein surfaces obtained as quotient of finite linear groups of automorphisms of the plane; this surfaces are of type A, D, E, corresponding to their singularities. The generic fibre of the polynomial fibration is a surface defined over the function field of the line. We proved that it is not rational in cases D, E, although it is obviously rational in the case A. The group of automorphisms of the Klein surfaces is also described, and is linear and of finite dimension in cases D, E; this result being obviously false in case A.Comment: 18 page

The anticommutator spin algebra, its representations and quantum group invariance

We define a 3-generator algebra obtained by replacing the commutators by anticommutators in the defining relations of the angular momentum algebra. We show that integer spin representations are in one to one correspondence with those of the angular momentum algebra. The half-integer spin representations, on the other hand, split into two representations of dimension j + 1/2. The anticommutator spin algebra is invariant under the action of the quantum group SO_q(3) with q=-1.Comment: 7 A4 page

Mirror symmetry and quantization of abelian varieties

The paper consists of two sections. The first section provides a new definition of mirror symmetry of abelian varieties making sense also over $p$-adic fields. The second section introduces and studies quantized theta-functions with two-sided multipliers, which are functions on non-commutative tori. This is an extension of an earlier work by the author. In the Introduction and in the Appendix the constructions of this paper are put into a wider context.Comment: 24 pp., amstex file, no figure

The Minkowski and conformal superspaces

We define complex Minkowski superspace in 4 dimensions as the big cell inside a complex flag supermanifold. The complex conformal supergroup acts naturally on this super flag, allowing us to interpret it as the conformal compactification of complex Minkowski superspace. We then consider real Minkowski superspace as a suitable real form of the complex version. Our methods are group theoretic, based on the real conformal supergroup and its Lie superalgebra.Comment: AMS LaTeX, 44 page

Quantum Mechanics on the h-deformed Quantum Plane

We find the covariant deformed Heisenberg algebra and the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the extended $h$-deformed quantum plane and solve the Schr\"odinger equations explicitly for some physical systems on the quantum plane. In the commutative limit the behaviour of a quantum particle on the quantum plane becomes that of the quantum particle on the Poincar\'e half-plane, a surface of constant negative Gaussian curvature. We show the bound state energy spectra for particles under specific potentials depend explicitly on the deformation parameter $h$. Moreover, it is shown that bound states can survive on the quantum plane in a limiting case where bound states on the Poincar\'e half-plane disappear.Comment: 16pages, Latex2e, Abstract and section 4 have been revise

Research potential as a basis for innovative development of the region

Purpose of work is to determine an amount of influence from region’s innovative activity on effective usage of current scientific-research potential. Innovative activity of regions in many respects depends on the availability and efficient use of the existing research capacity. The main components of the research capacities in the region are: interest of universities, employers and society in research and development and their implementation in practice; development of research infrastructure; and a focus of higher education on the innovative activity of students; financial and tax support of enterprises engaged in innovative activities, from the stat

Duality for the Jordanian Matrix Quantum Group GLg,h(2)GL_{g,h}(2)

We find the Hopf algebra $U_{g,h}$ dual to the Jordanian matrix quantum group $GL_{g,h}(2)$. As an algebra it depends only on the sum of the two parameters and is split in two subalgebras: $U'_{g,h}$ (with three generators) and $U(Z)$ (with one generator). The subalgebra $U(Z)$ is a central Hopf subalgebra of $U_{g,h}$. The subalgebra $U'_{g,h}$ is not a Hopf subalgebra and its coalgebra structure depends on both parameters. We discuss also two one-parameter special cases: $g =h$ and $g=-h$. The subalgebra $U'_{h,h}$ is a Hopf algebra and coincides with the algebra introduced by Ohn as the dual of $SL_h(2)$. The subalgebra $U'_{-h,h}$ is isomorphic to $U(sl(2))$ as an algebra but has a nontrivial coalgebra structure and again is not a Hopf subalgebra of $U_{-h,h}$.Comment: plain TeX with harvmac, 16 pages, added Appendix implementing the ACC nonlinear ma

Interacting Preformed Cooper Pairs in Resonant Fermi Gases

We consider the normal phase of a strongly interacting Fermi gas, which can have either an equal or an unequal number of atoms in its two accessible spin states. Due to the unitarity-limited attractive interaction between particles with different spin, noncondensed Cooper pairs are formed. The starting point in treating preformed pairs is the Nozi\`{e}res-Schmitt-Rink (NSR) theory, which approximates the pairs as being noninteracting. Here, we consider the effects of the interactions between the Cooper pairs in a Wilsonian renormalization-group scheme. Starting from the exact bosonic action for the pairs, we calculate the Cooper-pair self-energy by combining the NSR formalism with the Wilsonian approach. We compare our findings with the recent experiments by Harikoshi {\it et al.} [Science {\bf 327}, 442 (2010)] and Nascimb\`{e}ne {\it et al.} [Nature {\bf 463}, 1057 (2010)], and find very good agreement. We also make predictions for the population-imbalanced case, that can be tested in experiments.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, accepted version for PRA, discussion of the imbalanced Fermi gas added, new figure and references adde

h-deformation of Gr(2)

The $h$-deformation of functions on the Grassmann matrix group $Gr(2)$ is presented via a contraction of $Gr_q(2)$. As an interesting point, we have seen that, in the case of the $h$-deformation, both R-matrices of $GL_h(2)$ and $Gr_h(2)$ are the same

On representations of super coalgebras

The general structure of the representation theory of a $Z_2$-graded coalgebra is discussed. The result contains the structure of Fourier analysis on compact supergroups and quantisations thereof as a special case. The general linear supergroups serve as an explicit illustration and the simplest example is carried out in detail.Comment: 18 pages, LaTeX, KCL-TH-94-
