Higgs-free confinement hierarchy in five colour QCD
I consider the monopole condensate of five color QCD. The naive lowest energy
state is unobtainable at one-loop for five or more colors due to simple
geometric considerations. The consequent adjustment of the vacuum condensate
generates a hierarchy of confinement scales in a natural Higgs-free manner. The
accompanying symmetry hierarchy contains hints of standard model phenomenology.Comment: 9 pages, PTP class file, discussion at bottom of page 5 correcte
Extending SU(2) to SU(N) QCD
Abelian dominance is used to reformulate the QCD Lagrangian as a sum over the
roots of Lie group representation theory. This greatly facilitates extending
the SU(2) magnetic ground state energy spectrum, several arguments for the
stability of the magnetic ground state, and the Faddeev-Skyrme model to
arbitrary SU(N) QCD.Comment: 12 pages, errors correcte
Double Consciousness in Today’s Black America
In The Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B. Du Bois introduces double consciousness as
a result of racial prejudice and oppression. Explained as a state of confliction
felt by black Americans, Du Bois presents double consciousness as integral
to understanding the black experience. Later philosophers question the
importance of double consciousness to current race discussions, but this paper
contends that double consciousness provides valuable insights into black and
white relations. To do this, I will utilize the modern slang term, “Oreo,” to
highlight how a perceived incompatibility between blacks and whites could
prevent America from achieving a greater unit
Solubility of non-polar gases in electrolyte solutions
Solubility theory describes the effects of both concentration and temperature on solute activity coefficients. It predicts the salting-out effect and the decrease in solubility of non-polar gases with increased electrolyte concentration, and can be used to calculate heats of solution, entropies, and partial molal volumes of dissolved gase

Affine Hecke algebras of type D and generalisations of quiver Hecke algebras
We define and study cyclotomic quotients of affine Hecke algebras of type D.
We establish an isomorphism between (direct sums of blocks of) these cyclotomic
quotients and a generalisation of cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras which are a
family of Z-graded algebras closely related to algebras introduced by Shan,
Varagnolo and Vasserot. To achieve this, we first complete the study of
cyclotomic quotients of affine Hecke algebras of type B by considering the
situation when a deformation parameter p squares to 1. We then relate the two
generalisations of quiver Hecke algebras showing that the one for type D can be
seen as fixed point subalgebras of their analogues for type B, and we carefully
study how far this relation remains valid for cyclotomic quotients. This allows
us to obtain the desired isomorphism. This isomorphism completes the family of
isomorphisms relating affine Hecke algebras of classical types to
(generalisations of) quiver Hecke algebras, originating in the famous result of
Brundan and Kleshchev for the type A.Comment: 26 page
