    Lorentz invariant and supersymmetric interpretation of noncommutative quantum field theory

    Full text link
    In this paper, using a Hopf-algebraic method, we construct deformed Poincar\'e SUSY algebra in terms of twisted (Hopf) algebra. By adapting this twist deformed super-Poincar\'e algrebra as our fundamental symmetry, we can see the consistency between the algebra and non(anti)commutative relation among (super)coordinates and interpret that symmetry of non(anti)commutative QFT is in fact twisted one. The key point is validity of our new twist element that guarantees non(anti)commutativity of space. It is checked in this paper for N=1 case. We also comment on the possibility of noncommutative central charge coordinate. Finally, because our twist operation does not break the original algebra, we can claim that (twisted) SUSY is not broken in contrast to the string inspired N=1/2\mathcal{N}=1/2 SUSY in N=1 non(anti)commutative superspace.Comment: 15 pages, LaTeX. v3:One section added, typos corrected, to appear in Int.

    Yangians, Integrable Quantum Systems and Dorey's rule

    Get PDF
    We study tensor products of fundamental representations of Yangians and show that the fundamental quotients of such tensor products are given by Dorey's rule.Comment: We have made corrections to the results for the Yangians associated to the non--simply laced algebra

    Projective quantum spaces

    Get PDF
    Associated to the standard SUq(n)SU_{q}(n) R-matrices, we introduce quantum spheres Sq2n1S_{q}^{2n-1}, projective quantum spaces CPqn1CP_{q}^{n-1}, and quantum Grassmann manifolds Gk(Cqn)G_{k}(C_{q}^{n}). These algebras are shown to be homogeneous quantum spaces of standard quantum groups and are also quantum principle bundles in the sense of T Brzezinski and S. Majid (Comm. Math. Phys. 157,591 (1993)).Comment: 8 page

    CuO Elaboration and Studies of the Influence of Heat Treatment on the Structural Properties

    Get PDF
    In the present work we synthesize nano powders of CuO by precipitation method, using CuCl2 as precursor. The obtained powder has undergone a heat treatment annealing 100°C, and 450°C. Structural analysis by X-Ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveal that CuO nano particles are in nano graphs forms and with improved crystallization at 450°C, annealing temperature as monoclinic crystal lattice structure. The radius of NCs calculated by the Scherrer formula is 12.31 nm

    The (linearized) noncommutative Rindler space-times associated with canonical, Lie-algebraic and quadratic twist-deformed Minkowski spaces are provided. The corresponding deformed Hawking spectra detected by Rindler observers are derived as well.Comment: 13 pages, no figures, keywords: quantum space-times, Hawking radiatio

    New concept of relativistic invariance in NC space-time: twisted Poincar\'e symmetry and its implications

    Full text link
    We present a systematic framework for noncommutative (NC) QFT within the new concept of relativistic invariance based on the notion of twisted Poincar\'e symmetry (with all 10 generators), as proposed in ref. [7]. This allows to formulate and investigate all fundamental issues of relativistic QFT and offers a firm frame for the classification of particles according to the representation theory of the twisted Poincar\'e symmetry and as a result for the NC versions of CPT and spin-statistics theorems, among others, discussed earlier in the literature. As a further application of this new concept of relativism we prove the NC analog of Haag's theorem.Comment: 15 page

    A comprehensive interaction map of the human survival of motor neuron (SMN) complex

    Get PDF
    Assembly of the Sm-class of U-rich small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (U snRNPs) is a process facilitated by the macromolecular survival of motor neuron (SMN) complex. This entity promotes the binding of a set of factors, termed LSm/Sm proteins, onto snRNA to form the core structure of these particles. Nine factors, including the SMN protein, the product of the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) disease gene, Gemins 2-8 and unrip have been identified as the major components of the SMN complex. So far, however, only little is known about the architecture of this complex and the contribution of individual components to its function. Here, we present a comprehensive interaction map of all core components of the SMN complex based upon in vivo and in vitro methods. Our studies reveal a modular composition of the SMN complex with the three proteins SMN, Gemin8, and Gemin7 in its center. Onto this central building block the other components are bound via multiple interactions. Furthermore, by employing a novel assay, we were able to reconstitute the SMN complex from individual components and confirm the interaction map. Interestingly, SMN protein carrying an SMA-causing mutation was severely impaired in formation of the SMN complex. Finally, we show that the peripheral component Gemin5 contributes an essential activity to the SMN complex, most likely the transfer of Sm proteins onto the U snRNA. Collectively, the data presented here provide a basis for the detailed mechanistic and structural analysis of the assembly machinery of U snRNPs

    Neurosurgery specialty training in the UK: What you need to know to be shortlisted for an interview

    Get PDF
    Neurosurgery is one of the most competitive specialties in the UK. In 2019, securing an ST1 post in neurosurgery corresponds to competition ration of 6.54 whereas a CST1 post 2.93. Further, at ST3 level, neurosurgery is the most competitive. In addition, the number of neurosurgical training posts are likely to be reduced in the coming years. A number of very specific shortlisting criteria, aiming to filter and select the best candidates for interview exist. In the context of the high competition ratios and the specific shortlisting criteria, developing an interest in the neurosciences early on will allow individuals more time to meet the necessary standards for neurosurgery. Here, we aim to outline the shortlisting criteria and offer advice on how to achieve maximum scores, increasing the likelihood to be shortlisted for an interview

    Invariance quantum groups of the deformed oscillator algebra

    Full text link
    A differential calculus is set up on a deformation of the oscillator algebra. It is uniquely determined by the requirement of invariance under a seven-dimensional quantum group. The quantum space and its associated differential calculus are also shown to be invariant under a nine generator quantum group containing the previous one.Comment: 13 pages, Late

    Bethe Equations for a g_2 Model

    Get PDF
    We prove, using the coordinate Bethe ansatz, the exact solvability of a model of three particles whose point-like interactions are determined by the root system of g_2. The statistics of the wavefunction are left unspecified. Using the properties of the Weyl group, we are also able to find Bethe equations. It is notable that the method relies on a certain generalized version of the well-known Yang-Baxter equation. A particular class of non-trivial solutions to this equation emerges naturally.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
