M U + M D from Qcd-hadron Duality

The value of the light quark masses combination mu + md is analized using QCD-Hadron Duality. A detailed analysis of both the perturbative QCD [to four-loops] and the hadronic parametrization needed is done. The result we get is [mu+md](1GeV ) = (12.8±2.5) MeV ([mu+md](4GeV ) = (9.8 ± 1.9) MeV ) in the MS scheme. August 1997 Work supported in part by CICYT Grant No. AEN-96/1672 (Spain). Invited...

The AMI and AMIDA projects are concerned with the recognition and interpretation of multiparty meetings. Within these projects we have: developed an infrastructure for recording meetings using multiple microphones and cameras; released a 100 hour annotated corpus of meetings; developed techniques for the recognition and interpretation of meetings based primarily on speech recognition and comput...

U–duality Covariant M–theory Cosmology

A manifestly U–duality covariant approach to M–theory cosmology is developed and applied to cosmologies in dimensions D = 4, 5. Cosmological properties such as expansion powers and Hubble parameters turn out to be U–duality invariant in certain asymptotic regions. U–duality transformations acting on cosmological solutions, on the other hand, shift the transition time between two asymptotic regi...

U-M: your gateway to culture

A short ride by car or University bus will take you to North Campus, where you’ll find stellar examples of public art and exhibition venues located within the School of Art & Design, and parts of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance—the Walgreen Drama Center, which houses Stamps Auditorium and the Arthur Miller Theatre, and the Moore Building, which features Britton Recital Hall, Blanche Anders...
