We consider generators of algebraic curvature tensors R which can be constructed by a Young symmetrization of product tensors U ⊗ w or w ⊗ U , where U and w are covariant tensors of order 3 and 1. We assume that U belongs to a class of the infinite set S of irreducible symmetry classes characterized by the partition (2 1). We show that the set S contains exactly one symmetry class S0 ∈ S whose ...

We study the phase diagrams of N = ∞ vector-like, asymptotically free gauge theories as a function of volume, on S3 × S1. The theories of interest are the ones with fermions in two index representations [adjoint, (anti)symmetric, and bifundamental abbreviated as QCD(adj), QCD(AS/S) and QCD(BF)], and are interrelated via orbifold or orientifold projections. The phase diagrams reveal interesting ...

A strange attractor (SA) with symmetry group G can be mapped down to an image strange attractor SA without symmetry by a smooth mapping with singularities. The image SA can be lifted to many distinct structurally stable strange attractors, each equivariant under G, all with the same image SA. If the symbolic dynamics of the image SA requires s symbols sigma(1),sigma(2), em leader,sigma(s), then...
