Dimensional Deconstruction and Wess-Zumino-Witten Terms
Christopher T. Hill, Cosmas K. Zachos
A new technique is developed for the derivation of the Wess-Zumino-Witten terms of gauged chiral lagrangians. We start in D=5 with a pure (mesonless) Yang-Mills theory, which inclu…
Bounding Gauged Skyrmion Masses
Yves Brihaye, Christopher Hill, Cosmas Zachos
Normally, standard (ungauged) skyrmion masses are proportional to the coupling of the Skyrme term needed for stability, and so can grow to infinite magnitude with increasing coupli…
Branes, Quantum Nambu Brackets, and the Hydrogen Atom
Cosmas Zachos, Thomas Curtright
The Nambu Bracket quantization of the Hydrogen atom is worked out as an illustration of the general method. The dynamics of topological open branes is controlled classically by Nam…
Comment on "Noncommutativity as a Possible Origin of the Ultrahigh-energy Cosmic Ray and the TeV Photon Paradoxes"
Cosmas Zachos
A Lorentz-noninvariant modification of the kinematic dispersion law was proposed in [hep-th/0211237], claimed to be derivable from from q-deformed noncommutative theory, and argued…
