O(2) action on the 5-sphere.
Effect algebras were introduced as abstract models of the set of quantum effects which represent sharp and unsharp properties of physical systems and play a basic role in the foundations of quantum mechanics. In the present paper, observables on lattice ordered -effect algebras and their “smearings” with respect to (weak) Markov kernels are studied. It is shown that the range of any observable is contained in a block, which is a -MV algebra, and every observable is defined by a smearing of a sharp...
This paper considers Schrödinger operators, and presents a probabilistic interpretation of the variation (or shape derivative) of the Dirichlet groundstate energy when the associated domain is perturbed. This interpretation relies on the distribution on the boundary of a stopped random process with Feynman-Kac weights. Practical computations require in addition the explicit approximation of the normal derivative of the groundstate on the boundary. We then propose to use this formulation in the...
We describe alternate methods of solution for a model arising in the work of Seiberg and Witten on N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and provide a complete argument for the characterization put forth by Argyres, Faraggi, and Shapere of the curve .
The phenomenon of determining a geometric structure on a manifold by the group of its automorphisms is a modern analogue of the basic ideas of the Erlangen Program of F. Klein. The author calls such diffeomorphism groups admissible and he describes them by imposing some axioms. The main result is the followingTheorem. Let , , be a geometric structure such that its group of automorphisms satisfies either axioms 1, 2, 3 and 4, or axioms 1, 2, 3’, 4, 5, 6 and 7, and is compact, or axioms 1, 2,...
