We consider the conformal gauging of non-abelian groups. In such cases there are inequivalent ways of gauging (generalizing the axial and vector cases for abelian groups) corresponding to external automorphisms of the group. Different σ-models obtained this way correspond to the same conformal field theory. We use the method of quotients to formulate this equivalence as a new duality symmetry. ...

In real-world scenarios, labeled data is often rare while unlabeled data can be obtained in huge quantities. A current research direction in machine learning is the concept of semi-supervised support vector machines. This type of binary classification approach aims at taking the additional information provided by unlabeled patterns into account to reveal more information about the structure of ...

The aim of this paper is to present new existence theorems for solutions of vector equilibrium problems, by using weak interior type conditions and weak convexity assumptions.

We deal with a locally conformal cosymplectic manifoldM(φ,Ω,ξ,η,g) admitting a conformal contact quasi-torse-forming vector field T . The presymplectic 2-form Ω is a locally conformal cosymplectic 2-form. It is shown that T is a 3-exterior concurrent vector field. Infinitesimal transformations of the Lie algebra of ∧M are investigated. The Gauss map of the hypersurfaceMξ normal to ξ is conforma...

We study non-autonomous planar Hamiltonian or reversible vector fields that vanish at the origin. The time-dependence is quasi-periodic with strongly non-resonant frequencies. First we give a simple criterion in terms of the averaged system for the trivial solution to be dynamically stable. Then we obtain destabilizations for classes of examples where the conditions of the criterion are not sat...

In this paper, a new construction of vertex algebras from more general vertex operators is given and a notion of quasi module for vertex algebras is introduced and studied. More specifically, a notion of quasi local subset(space) of Hom (W,W ((x))) for any vector space W is introduced and studied, generalizing the notion of usual locality in the most possible way, and it is proved that on any m...

In this paper, we study indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold M̄ of quasi-constant curvature with lightlike hypersurfaces M . We provide several new results on such a manifold M̄ , in which the characteristic 1form θ and the characteristic vector field ζ, defined by (1.1), are identical with the structure 1-form θ and the structure vector field ζ of the indefinite trans-Sasakian structure (J, ζ, θ) ...

Starting from an earlier result of Kassay and Miholca, we study vector quasi-equilibrium problems for the sum of two multivalued bifunctions. The assumptions are required separately on each of these bifunctions. Sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of such problems are shown in the setting of topological vector spaces. The results in this paper unify, improve and extend some wel...

I discuss the theoretical status of the 'soft' pomeron and its place in describing generic diffractive processes. The role of perturbative QCD (pQCD) corrections is considered, in particular in the context of quasi-elastic vector meson production at high Q 2. In those processes where short distances are dominant, the 'hard' (pQCD) pomeron is expected to reveal itself, such a process may well be...

Our aim in this paper is to show an example of the formalism we have developed to avoid the label-tensor-product-vector-space-formalism of quantum mechanics when dealing with indistinguishable quanta. States in this new vector space, that we call the Q-space, refer only to occupation numbers and permutation operators act as the identity operator on them, reflecting in the formalism the unobserv...
