Emergence of longitudinal 7-branes and fuzzy S^4 in compactification scenarios of M(atrix) theory

Yasuhiro Abe

In M(atrix) theory, there exist membranes and longitudinal 5-branes (L5-branes) as extended objects. Transverse components of these brane solutions are known to be described by fuz…

Some metric properties of automorphisms of groups

Alexei G. Myasnikov, Vladimir Shpilrain

Study of the dynamics of automorphisms of a group is usually focused on their growth and/or finite orbits, including fixed points. In this paper, we introduce properties of a diffe…

Ultraviolet modified photons and anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation

J. Gamboa, J. Lopez-Sarrion, A. P. Polychronakos

We discuss a minimal canonical modification of electrodynamics in order to account for ultraviolet Lorentz violating effects. This modification creates a birefringence that rotates…
