The Quantum Effective Action, Wave Functions and Yang-Mills (2+1)
We explore the relationship between the quantum effective action and the
ground state (and excited state) wave functions of a field theory. Applied to
the Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions, we find the leading terms of the
effective action from the ground state wave function previously obtained in the
Hamiltonian formalism by solving the Schrodinger equation.Comment: 16 pages, expanded discussion section, added references, version

Quantum mechanics on the noncommutative plane and sphere
We consider the quantum mechanics of a particle on a noncommutative plane.
The case of a charged particle in a magnetic field (the Landau problem) with a
harmonic oscillator potential is solved. There is a critical point, where the
density of states becomes infinite, for the value of the magnetic field equal
to the inverse of the noncommutativity parameter. The Landau problem on the
noncommutative two-sphere is also solved and compared to the plane problem.Comment: 12 pages, no figures; references adde
Aspects of Boundary Conditions for Nonabelian Gauge Theories
The boundary values of the time-component of the gauge potential form
externally specifiable data characterizing a gauge theory. We point out some
consequences such as reduced symmetries, bulk currents for manifolds with
disjoint boundaries and some nuances of how the charge algebra is realized.Comment: 15 page
Plasmon interactions in the quark-gluon plasma
Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature is rewritten as a theory of plasmons
which provides a Hamiltonian framework for perturbation theory with resummation
of hard thermal loops.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, minor typos corrected, discussion adde

Enterprise Risk Management: Review, Critique, and Research Directions
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. Many regulators, rating agencies, executives and academics have advocated a new approach to risk management: Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). ERM proposes the integrated management of all the risks an organization faces, which inherently requires alignment of risk management with corporate governance and strategy. Academic research on ERM is still in its infancy, with articles largely in accounting and finance journals but rarely in management journals. We argue that ERM offers an important new research domain for management scholars. A critical review of ERM research allows us to identify limitations and gaps that management scholars are best equipped to address. This paper not only identifies how management scholars can contribute to ERM research, but also points out why ERM research (and practice) needs management research for its development
On Level Quantization for the Noncommutative Chern-Simons Theory
We show that the coefficient of the three-dimensional Chern-Simons action on
the noncommutative plane must be quantized. Similar considerations apply in
other dimensions as well.Comment: 6 pages, Latex, no figure

Trust Model for Optimized Cloud Services
Cloud computing with its inherent advantages draws attention for business critical applications, but concurrently expects high level of trust in cloud service providers. Reputation-based trust is emerging as a good choice to model trust of cloud service providers based on available evidence. Many existing reputation based systems either ignore or give less importance to uncertainty linked with the evidence. In this paper, we propose an uncertainty model and define our approach to compute opinion for cloud service providers. Using subjective logic operators along with the computed opinion values, we propose mechanisms to calculate the reputation of cloud service providers. We evaluate and compare our proposed model with existing reputation models
