Inserting Group Variables into Fluid Mechanics
R. Jackiw
A fluid, like a quark-gluon plasma, may possess degrees of freedom indexed by a group variable, which retains its identity even in the fluid/continuum description. Conventional Eul…
Cotton Blend Gravity Waves
S. Deser, R. Jackiw, S. -Y. Pi
We study conformal gravity in d=2+1, where the Cotton tensor is equated to a--necessarily traceless--matter stress tensor, for us that of the improved scalar field. We first solve…
S. S. Chern and Chern-Simons Terms
R. Jackiw
Some properties of Chern-Simons terms are presented and their physical utility is surveyed.
Perfect Fluid Theory and its Extensions
R. Jackiw, V. P. Nair, S. -Y. Pi +1
We review the canonical theory for perfect fluids, in Eulerian and Lagrangian formulations. The theory is related to a description of extended structures in higher dimensions. Inte…
Fifty Years of Yang-Mills Theory and my Contribution to it
R. Jackiw
On the fiftieth anniversary of Yang-Mills theory, I review the contribution to its understanding by my collaborators and me. Contents: 1.Gauge Theories and Quantum Anomalies; 2.Mat…
A Pure Cotton Kink in a Funny Place
R. Jackiw
When the 3-dimensional gravitational Chern-Simons term is reduced to two dimensions a dilaton-like gravity theory emerges. Its solutions involve kinks, which therefore describe 3-d…
