In this paper, we derive a canonical representation for the first order hyperbolic equation systems with their coefficient matrices satisfying the Clifford algebra Cl(1, 3), and then demonstrate some of its applications. This canonical formalism can naturally give a unified description for the fundamental fields in physics. PACS numbers: 11.10.-z, 11.10.Cd, 12.10.-g

We present an efficient algorithm for obtaining a canonical system of Jordan chains for an n×n regular analytic matrix function A(λ) that is singular at the origin. For any analytic vector function b(λ), we show that each term in the Laurent expansion of A(λ)−1b(λ) may be obtained from the previous terms by solving an (n+d)× (n+d) linear system, where d is the order of the zero of detA(λ) at λ ...

The set of n by n upper-triangular nilpotent matrices with entries in a finite field Fq has Jordan canonical forms indexed by partitions λ ` n. We study a connection between these matrices and non-attacking q-rook placements, which leads to a combinatorial formula for the number Fλ(q) of matrices of fixed Jordan type as a weighted sum over rook placements.

We derive the complete (curvature) terms of effective D-brane actions, for arbitrary ambient geometries and world-volume embeddings, at lowest order (disk-level) in the string-loop expansion. These terms reproduce the o(α′ ) corrections to string scattering amplitudes, and are consistent with duality conjectures. In the particular case of the D3-brane with trivial normal bundle, considerations ...

We study the elements in the structure group of an algebraic curvature tensor R by analyzing Jordan normal forms. Because every matrix has a unique Jordan normal form representation, up to a permutation of the Jordan Blocks, we are able to determine which matrices taking on a specific form will be in the structure group of some algebraic curvature tensor. A method for analyzing these forms is d...
