Nilpotent Marsh and SUSY QM

We consider the nilpotent additions to classical trajectories in supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric theories. The condition of anilpotence of action on some generalized solutions leads to the Witten supersymmetric Lagrangian. The condition of anilpotence of topological charge is the same as one of superpotential with spontaneous broken supersymmetry. We should vanish half of Grassmann constants of integration, because in this case only we obtain the same number of normalized bosonic and fermionic zero modes.Comment: 8 pages, Latex 2.09.

Diffeomorphism, kappa transformations and the theory of non-linear realisations

We will show how the theory of non-linear realisations can be used to naturally incorporate world line diffeomorphisms and kappa transformations for the point particle and superpoint particle respectively. Similar results also hold for a general p-brane and super p-brane, however, we must in these cases include an additional Lorentz transformation.Comment: 19pages, no figure.

Dynamics of (SUSY) AdS Space Isometry Breaking

Actions governing the dynamics of the Nambu-Goldstone modes resulting from the spontaneous breaking of the SO(4,2) and $SU(2,2|1)$ isometries of five dimensional anti-de Sitter space ($AdS_{5}$) and SUSY $AdS_{5}\times S_1$ spaces respectively due to a restriction of the motion to embedded four dimensional $AdS_{4}$ space and four dimensional Minkowski space ($M_4$) probe branes are presented. The dilatonic Nambu-Goldstone mode governing the motion of the $M_4$ space probe brane into the covolume of the SUSY $AdS_5\times S_1$ space is found to be unstable. No such instablility appears in the other cases. Gauging these symmetries leads to an Einstein-Hilbert action containing, in addition to the gravitational vierbein, a massive Abelian vector field coupled to gravity.Comment: 6 pages, 0 figures, to appear in Proceedings of IRGAC 2006: 2nd International Conference on Quantum Theories and Renormalization Group in Gravity and Cosmology, Barcelon

Basic Twist Quantization of osp(1|2) and kappa-- Deformation of D=1 Superconformal Mechanics

The twisting function describing a nonstandard (super-Jordanian) quantum deformation of $osp(1|2)$ is given in explicite closed form. The quantum coproducts and universal R-matrix are presented. The non-uniqueness of the twisting function as well as two real forms of the deformed $osp(1|2)$ superalgebras are considered. One real quantum $osp(1|2)$ superalgebra is interpreted as describing the $\kappa$-deformation of D=1, N=1 superconformal algebra, which can be applied as a symmetry algebra of N=1 superconformal mechanics.Comment: 13 pages,LaTeX, v2.

Prospects of paramagnetic lanthanide complexes for magnetic resonance imaging, local thermosensing and diagnosing

The features of the paramagnetic properties of lanthanide (Ln) containing complexes with crown ethers, pivaloyltrifluoracetonato, and EDTA have been studied by 1H and 19F NMR techniques. These complexes are of interest due to the prospect of using some of them as sensors for biology and medicine. The temperature dependencies of the lanthanide-induced shifts revealed that Ln complexes might have practical importance for 1H and 19F NMR temperature control in solutions. It was shown in vitro (using NMR spectrometers and MRI scanners) that these complexes can serve as special NMR thermo-sensitive contrast reagents

On the Inconsistency of Fayet-Iliopoulos Terms in Supergravity Theories

Motivated by recent discussions, we revisit the issue of whether globally supersymmetric theories with non-zero Fayet-Iliopoulos terms may be consistently coupled to supergravity. In particular, we examine claims that a fundamental inconsistency arises due to the conflicting requirements which are imposed on the $R$-symmetry properties of the theory by the supergravity framework. We also prove that certain kinds of Fayet-Iliopoulos contributions to the supercurrent supermultiplets of theories with non-zero Fayet-Iliopoulos terms fail to exist. A key feature of our discussion is an explicit comparison between results from the chiral (or ``old minimal'') and linear (or ``new minimal'') formulations of supergravity, and the effects within each of these formalisms that are induced by the presence of non-zero Fayet-Iliopoulos terms.Comment: Comments: 69 pages, LaTeX, 2 figures, 7 tables.

Deformed Oscillator Algebras and Higher-Spin Gauge Interactions of Matter Fields in 2+1 Dimensions

We formulate a non-linear system of equations which describe higher-spin gauge interactions of massive matter fields in 2+1 dimensional space-time and explain some properties of the deformed oscillator algebra which underlies this formulation. In particular we show that the parameter of mass $M$ of matter fields is related to the deformation parameter in this algebra.Comment: LaTex, 12 pages, no figures; Invited talk at the International Seminar Supersymmetry and Quantum Field Theory dedicated to the memory of Dmitrij V.
