As follicles fall: Haute coiffure & deconstruction

Haute Couture, Haute Cuisine, Haute Games

Computer games provide a unique opportunity to experience intangible fantasies and create engagement with emotions which are able to be played out in real-life. Artists speak of engagement, computer game players speak of transformation and immersion. They are all viewing images with their own personal narratives informing their participation. These personal narratives arise from the information...

Spherical Deconstruction

We present evidence that N = 1 * SUSY Yang-Mills provides a decon-struction of a six-dimensional gauge theory compactified on a two-sphere. The six-dimensional theory is a twisted compactification of N = (1, 1) SUSY Yang-Mills theory of the type considered by Maldacena and Nunez (MN) in [1]. In particular, we calculate the full classical spectrum of the N = 1 * theory with gauge group U (N) in ...

Deconstructing Dimensional Deconstruction

Dimensional deconstruction (DD) abstracts from higher dimensional models features of related 4–dimensional ones. DD was proposed in Refs. [1–3] as a scheme for constructing models of naturally light composite Higgs boson. These are models in which—without fine–tuning of parameters—the composite Higgs’s mass M and vacuum expectation value v are much lighter than its binding energy scale Λ. We re...
