First-order Formalism and Odd-derivative Actions

In this pedagogical note, we discuss obstacles to the usual Palatini formulations of gauge and gravity theories in presence of odd-derivative order, Chern-Simons, terms.

Kappa-symmetric higher derivative terms in brane actions

Using the superembedding formalism we construct supermembrane actions with higher derivative terms which can be viewed as possible higher order terms in effective actions. In particular, we provide the first example of an action for an extended supersymmetric object with fully κ-symmetric extrinsic curvature terms. e-mail: [email protected]

Entropy Current in Conformal Hydrodynamics

In recent work [1, 2], the energy-momentum tensor for the N = 4 SYM fluid was computed up to second derivative terms using holographic methods. The aim of this note is to propose an entropy current (accurate up to second derivative terms) consistent with this energy-momentum tensor and to explicate its relation with the existing theories of relativistic hydrodynamics. In order to achieve this, ...

A nonlinear second order field equation – similarity solutions and relation to a Bellmann-type equation - Applications to Maxwellian Molecules

In this paper Lie’s formalism is applied to deduce classes of solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation (nPDE) of second order with quadratic nonlinearity. The equation has the meaning of a field equation appearing in the formulation of kinetic models. Similarity solutions and transformations are given in a most general form derived to the first time in terms of reciprocal Jacobian...

X-ray Charge-Dens Study of 5-Chloro-8-hydroxy-6-methyloaphthalene-l.4-dione: A Hydroxynaphthoquinone Derivative

The X-ray charge density analysis of a hydroxynaphthoquinnne derivative was obtained by multipolar Hansen-Coppens formalism refinement through high resolution X-ray diffraction data at 100(1) K. The molecularproperties of the title compound resulted from the combined experimental and the quantum theory of atoms inmolecules (QTAIM) studies. The topological properties of the covalent bonds and of...
