Shock-Free Wave Propagation in Gauge Theories
J. McCarthy, O. Sarioglu
We present the shock-free wave propagation requirements for massless fields. First, we briefly argue how the "completely exceptional" approach, originally developed to study the ch…
``Good Propagation'' Constraints on Dual Invariant Actions in Electrodynamics and on Massless Fields
S. Deser, J. McCarthy, O. Sarioglu
We present some consequences of non-anomalous propagation requirements on various massless fields. Among the models of nonlinear electrodynamics we show that only Maxwell and Born-…
Large N and the Dine-Rajaraman problem
Jim McCarthy, Leonard Susskind, Andy Wilkins
We compute the effective action for scattering of three well-separated extremal brane solutions, in 11d supergravity, with zero p_ transfer and small transverse velocities. Using a…
Induced Chern-Simons terms
Jim McCarthy, Andy Wilkins
We examine the claim that the effective action of four-dimensional SU(2)_L gauge theory at high and low temperature contains a three-dimensional Chern-Simons term with coefficient…
Supersymmetry and gauge theory on Calabi-Yau 3-folds
J. M. Figueroa-O'Farrill, A. Imaanpur, J. McCarthy
We consider the dimensional reduction of supersymmetric Yang-Mills on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold. We show by construction how the resulting cohomological theory is related to the balanced…
Fusing the coordinates of quantum superspace
Peter Bouwknegt, Jim McCarthy, Peter van Nieuwenhuizen
We introduce the notion of a fused quantum superplane by allowing for terms in the defining relations. We develop the differential calculus for a large class of fused qu…
