Discrete Symmetries in Translation Invariant Cosmological Models
In this paper we investigate a class of (d+1) dimensional cosmological models with a cosmological constant possessing an R simply transitive symmetry group and show that it can be written in a form that manifests the effect of a permutation symmetry. We investigate the solution orbifold and calculate the probability of a certain number of dimensions that will expand or contract. We use this to ...
متن کاملBianchi Cosmological Models and Gauge Symmetries
We analyze carefully the problem of gauge symmetries for Bianchi models, from both the geometrical and dynamical points of view. Some of the geometrical definitions of gauge symmetries (=“homogeneity preserving diffeomorphisms”) given in the literature do not incorporate the crucial feature that local gauge transformations should be independent at each point of the manifold of the independent v...
متن کاملDiscrete Symmetries In Lorentz-Invariant Non-Commutative QED
It is pointed out that the usual θ-algebra assumed for non-commuting coordinates is not P and T -invariant, unless one formally transforms the non-commutativity parameter θ in an appropriate way. On the other hand, the Lorentz-covariant DFR algebra, which ‘relativitizes’ the θ-algebra by replacing θ with a second-rank antisymmetric tensor operator θ̂ , is P and T -invariant. It is then proved th...
متن کاملModels of Flavor with Discrete Symmetries
In an attempt to understand the observed patterns of lepton and quark masses, models invoking a flavor symmetry Gf , under which the Standard Model generations are charged, have been proposed. One particularly successful symmetry, U(2), has been extensively discussed in the literature. The Yukawa matrices in models based on this symmetry reproduce the observed mass ratios in the lepton and quar...
متن کاملLocal Discrete Symmetries From Superstring Derived Models
Discrete and global symmetries play an essential role in many extensions of the Standard Model, for example, to preserve the proton lifetime, to prevent flavor changing neutral currents, etc. An important question is how can such symmetries survive in a theory of quantum gravity, like superstring theory. In a specific string model I illustrate how local discrete symmetries may arise in string m...
