Integer versions of Yang-Mills theory
R. A. Wilson
In a recent paper, 't Hooft asks for an integer version of Yang-Mills theory, in the belief that this is the way the universe really is at the Planck scale. Specifically, he asks f…
Potential applications of modular representation theory to quantum mechanics
Robert A. Wilson
There is a unique finite group that lies inside the 2-dimensional unitary group but not in the special unitary group, and maps by the symmetric square to an irreducible subgroup of…
Options for a finite group model of quantum mechanics
Robert A. Wilson
There are four finite groups that could plausibly play the role of the spin group in a finite or discrete model of quantum mechanics, namely the four double covers of the three rot…
A group-theorist's perspective on symmetry groups in physics
Robert Arnott Wilson
There are many Lie groups used in physics, including the Lorentz group of special relativity, the spin groups (relativistic and non-relativistic) and the gauge groups of quantum el…
A negative answer to a question of Aschbacher
Robert A. Wilson
We give infinitely many examples to show that even for simple groups it is possible for the lattice of overgroups of a subgroup to be the Boolean lattice of rank , in su…
Maximal subgroups of and its automorphism groups
Robert A. Wilson
We give a new computer-assisted proof of the classification of maximal subgroups of the simple group and its extensions by any subgroup of the outer automorphism group…
