General relativity at the turn of the third millennium.
In some previous papers [1, 2] we proposed a geometric formulation of continuum mechanics, where a continuous body is seen as a suitable differentiable fiber bundle C on the Galilean space-time M, beside a differential equation of order k, Ek(C), on C and the assignement of a frame Psi on M. This approach allowed us to treat continuum mechanics as a unitary field theory and to consider constitutive and dynamical properties in a more natural way. Further, the particular intrinsic geometrical framework...
We consider supersymmetric matrix Hamiltonians. The existence of a zero-energy bound state, in particular for the model, is of interest in M-theory. While we do not quite prove its existence, we show that the decay at infinity such a state would have is compatible with normalizability (and hence existence) in . Moreover, it would be unique. Other values of , where the situation is somewhat different, shall also be addressed. The analysis is based on a Born-Oppenheimer approximation. This seminar...
