Quantizing the line element field

A metric with signature (-+++) can be constructed from a metric with signature (++++) and a double-sided vector field called the line element field. Some of the classical and quantum properties of this vector field are studied.Comment: 9 page

Images of the Origin of Mass

Recent years have brought considerable progress with studies of the bound-state problem in continuum QCD. A small part of that made with Dyson Schwinger equations is highlighted herein. Topics covered include: opportunities provided by precision experimental studies of the (far) valence region; and capitalising upon new data on hadron elastic and transition form factors.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures.
