Yangians, finite W-algebras and the Non Linear Schrodinger hierarchy

M. Mintchev, E. Ragoucy, P. Sorba +1

We show an algebra morphism between Yangians and some finite W-algebras. This correspondence is nicely illustrated in the framework of the Non Linear Schrodinger hierarchy. For suc…

A massive object in the core of NGC 5055?

Sebastien Blais-Ouellette

In a global kinematical study of NGC 5055 using high resolution Fabry-Perot, intriguing spectral line profiles have been observed in the center of the galaxy. These profiles seem t…

Symmetries of Discrete Dynamical Systems Involving Two Species

D. Gomez-Ullate, S. Lafortune, P. Winternitz

The Lie point symmetries of a coupled system of two nonlinear differential-difference equations are investigated. It is shown that in special cases the symmetry group can be infini…

Solutions to the Optical Cascading Equations

S. Lafortune, P. Winternitz, C. R. Menyuk

Group theoretical methods are used to study the equations describing χ^{(2)}:χ^{(2)} cascading. The equations are shown not to be integrable by inverse scattering techniques. On th…

Quantum simulations of classical random walks and undirected graph connectivity

John Watrous

It is not currently known if quantum Turing machines can efficiently simulate probabilistic computations in the space-bounded case. In this paper we show that space-bounded quantum…

Perturbation of infra-red fixed points and duality in quantum impurity problems

F. Lesage, H. Saleur

We explain in this paper how a meaningful irrelevant perturbation theory around the infra-red (strong coupling) fixed point can be carried out for integrable quantum impurity probl…

Bilepton Production at Hadron Colliders

B. Dion, T. Gregoire, D. London +2

We examine, as model-independently as possible, the production of bileptons at hadron colliders. When a particular model is necessary or useful, we choose the 3-3-1 model. We consi…

Representations of the Weyl group and Wigner functions for SU(3)

D. J. Rowe, B. C. Sanders, H. de Guise

Bases for SU(3) irreps are constructed on a space of three-particle tensor products of two-dimensional harmonic oscillator wave functions. The Weyl group is represented as the symm…

Strong coupling resistivity in the Kondo model

F. Lesage, H. Saleur

By applying methods of integrable quantum field theory to the Kondo problem, we develop a systematic perturbation expansion near the IR (strong coupling) fixed point. This requires…

Necessity for High Accuracy Rotation Curves in Spiral Galaxies

Sebastien Blais-Ouellette, Claude Carignan, Philippe Amram

In the last 20 years, rotation curves derived from H I kinematics obtained on radio synthesis instruments were used to probe the dark matter distribution in spiral and dwarf irregu…

A nuclear grand-design spiral within the normal disc spiral of NGC 5248

S. Laine, J. H. Knapen, D. Pérez-Ramírez +2

We report the discovery of trailing grand-design nuclear spiral structure in the spiral galaxy NGC 5248. Two tightly-wound red spiral arms, with widths less than 1 arcsec (~75 pc),…

Particle Spaces on Manifolds and Generalized Poincaré Dualities

Sadok Kallel

It is quite an interesting phenomenon in Topology that configuration spaces on a manifold M are intrinsically related to certain mapping spaces from M. In this paper we interpret a…

Classical Trajectories for two Ring-Shaped Potentials

M. Kibler, G. -H. Lamot, P. Winternitz

This paper deals with the classical trajectories for two super-integrable systems: a system known in quantum chemistry as the Hartmann system and a system of potential use in quant…

The descriptive complexity approach to LOGCFL

Clemens Lautemann, Pierre McKenzie, Thomas Schwentick +1

Building upon the known generalized-quantifier-based first-order characterization of LOGCFL, we lay the groundwork for a deeper investigation. Specifically, we examine subclasses o…

Measurement of the Longitudinal Cross-Section using the Direction of the Thrust Axis in Hadronic Events at LEP

The OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al

In the process e+e- to hadrons, one of the effects of gluon emission is to modify the 1+cos(theta)**2 form of the angular distribution of the thrust axis, an effect which may be qu…
