generalizations of superconformal Galilei algebras and their representations
We introduce two classes of novel color superalgebras of grading. This is done by realizing members of each in the
universal enveloping algebra of the supersymmetric extension of
the conformal Galilei algebra. This allows us to upgrade any representation of
the super conformal Galilei algebras to a representation of the graded algebra. As an example, boson-fermion Fock space
representation of one class is given. We also provide a vector field
realization of members of the other class by using a generalization of the
Grassmann calculus to graded setting.Comment: 17 pages, no figur
generalizations of infinite dimensional Lie superalgebra of conformal type with complete classification of central extensions
We introduce a class of novel -graded color
superalgebras of infinite dimension. It is done by realizing each member of the
class in the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie superalgebra which is a
module extension of the Virasoro algebra. Then the complete classification of
central extensions of the -graded color
superalgebras is presented. It turns out that infinitely many members of the
class have non-trivial extensions. We also demonstrate that the color
superalgebras (with and without central extensions) have adjoint and
superadjoint operations.Comment: 19 pages, no figure, Revision in Section 2 and 3. Some new reference
Accessible and inaccessible quantum coherence in relativistic quantum systems
The quantum coherence of a multipartite system is investigated when some of
the parties are moving with constant acceleration. Due to relativistic motion
the quantum coherence is divided into two parts as accessible and inaccessible
coherence. First we investigate tripartite systems, considering both GHZ and
W-states. We find that the quantum coherence of these states does not vanish in
the limit of infinite acceleration, rather asymptoting to a non-zero value.
These results hold for both single- and two-qubit relativistic motion. In the
GHZ and W states the coherence is distributed as correlations between the
qubits and is known as global coherence. But quantum coherence can also exist
due to the superposition within a qubit, the local coherence. To study the
properties of local coherence we investigate separable state. The GHZ state,
W-state and separable states contain only one type of coherence. Next we
consider the and star states in which both local and global
coherences coexist. We find that under relativistic motion both local and
global coherence show similar qualitative behaviour. Finally we derive analytic
expressions for the quantum coherence of -partite GHZ and W states where
qubits are subject to relativistic motion. We find that the quantum
coherence of a multipartite GHZ state falls exponentially with the number of
accelerated qubits, whereas for multipartite W-states the quantum coherence
decreases only polynomially. We conclude that W-states are more robust to Unruh
decoherence and discuss some potential applications in satellite-based quantum
communication and black hole physics.Comment: 18 page

New connection formulae for the q-orthogonal polynomials via a series expansion of the q-exponential
Using a realization of the q-exponential function as an infinite
multiplicative sereis of the ordinary exponential functions we obtain new
nonlinear connection formulae of the q-orthogonal polynomials such as
q-Hermite, q-Laguerre and q-Gegenbauer polynomials in terms of their respective
classical analogs.Comment: 14 page
Basic Hypergeometric Functions and Covariant Spaces for Even Dimensional Representations of U_q[osp(1/2)]
Representations of the quantum superalgebra U_q[osp(1/2)] and their relations
to the basic hypergeometric functions are investigated. We first establish
Clebsch-Gordan decomposition for the superalgebra U_q[osp(1/2)] in which the
representations having no classical counterparts are incorporated. Formulae for
these Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are derived, and it is observed that they may
be expressed in terms of the -Hahn polynomials. We next investigate
representations of the quantum supergroup OSp_q(1/2) which are not well-defined
in the classical limit. Employing the universal T-matrix, the representation
matrices are obtained explicitly, and found to be related to the little
Q-Jacobi polynomials. Characteristically, the relation Q = -q is satisfied in
all cases. Using the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients derived here, we construct new
noncommutative spaces that are covariant under the coaction of the even
dimensional representations of the quantum supergroup OSp_q(1/2).Comment: 16 pages, no figure
A qualitative study of the experiences and perceptions of adults with chronic musculoskeletal conditions following a 12-week Pilates exercise programme
Introduction
The aim of the present study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of adult patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions following a Pilates exercise programme. A qualitative approach was taken to both data collection and analysis, with alignment to the philosophy of interpretive phenomenology. Participants included 15 women and seven men with a range of chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including nonspecific low back pain, peripheral joint osteoarthritis and a range of postsurgical conditions. The age range was from 36 years to 83 years, and the mean age was 57 years (standard deviation 14.1 years).
Methods
Data were collected via digital recordings of four focus groups in three North‐West of England physiotherapy clinics. The data were transcribed verbatim and then analysed using a thematic framework. Data were verified by a researcher and randomly selected participants, and agreement was achieved between all parties.
Results
The results were organized into five main themes: physical improvements; Pilates promotes an active lifestyle: improved performance at work and hobbies; psychosocial benefits and improved confidence; increased autonomy in managing their own condition; and motivation to continue with exercise.
Conclusion
The study was the first to investigate individual perceptions of the impact of Pilates on the daily lives of people with chronic conditions. The Pilates‐based exercise programme enabled the participants to function better and manage their condition more effectively and independently. Further to previous work, the study revealed psychological and social benefits which increase motivation to adhere to the programme and promote a healthier lifestyle
Evolution of defences in large tropical plant genera: perspectives for exploring insect diversity in a tri-trophic context
Divergence and escalation in defences promote chemical diversity in plants, and consequently the diversity of insect herbivores. This diversification cascades to insect parasitoids through direct effects on host herbivore susceptibility, changes in herbivore community composition, or disparity in plant volatiles. Large tropical plant genera represent an ideal model for studying these trends due to the high diversity of sympatric species and their insects. Novel measures of chemical structural similarity should be used to analyse evolutionary trends in both direct and indirect defences. Host chemical data need to be combined with detailed herbivore and parasitoid data. This will help to identify truly active compounds. Furthermore, resolved genomic phylogenies for plants and insects should be included to assign directionality in the processes
Generalized boson algebra and its entangled bipartite coherent states
Starting with a given generalized boson algebra U_(h(1)) known as the
bosonized version of the quantum super-Hopf U_q[osp(1/2)] algebra, we employ
the Hopf duality arguments to provide the dually conjugate function algebra
Fun_(H(1)). Both the Hopf algebras being finitely generated, we produce a
closed form expression of the universal T matrix that caps the duality and
generalizes the familiar exponential map relating a Lie algebra with its
corresponding group. Subsequently, using an inverse Mellin transform approach,
the coherent states of single-node systems subject to the U_(h(1)) symmetry
are found to be complete with a positive-definite integration measure.
Nonclassical coalgebraic structure of the U_(h(1)) algebra is found to
generate naturally entangled coherent states in bipartite composite systems.Comment: 15pages, no figur
