Information on su(N) tensor product multiplicities is neatly encoded in Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles. Here we study a generalisation of these triangles by allowing negative as well as positive integer entries. For a fixed triple product of weights, these generalised Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles span a lattice in which one may move by adding integer linear combinations of so-called virtual...

We study the role of rotational symmetry in the systems where nonabelian Berry potentials emerge as a result of integrating out fast degrees of freedom. The conserved angular momentum is constructed in the presence of a non-abelian Berry potential, which is formulated using Grassmann variables. The modifications on conventional angular momentum are discussed in close analogy with monopole syste...

We show explicitly that massive, Abelian, vector – just like (properly defined) massive tensor – fields limit smoothly to their massless, gauge, versions: they emit only maximal helicity radiation and mediate Coulomb/“special relativistic Newtonian”, forces between their (conserved) sources. Our main motivation, though, is to show that LIGO’s gravitational wave detection probably cannot directl...

We construct narcissistic terraces for cyclic groups that have various properties which enable the construction of R-sequencings and strong halfcycles for many non-cyclic abelian groups. Among other results, we show: that an abelian group which is isomorphic to a direct product of cyclic factors such that the number of factors of order congruent to 3 (mod 4) of order at most 79 is at least as l...

Following partially a suggestion by Pyber, we prove that the diameter of product non-abelian finite simple groups is bounded linearly maximum its factors. For completeness, include case abelian factors and give explicit constants in all bounds.

Given two unital C*-algebras equipped with states and a positive operator in the enveloping von Neumann algebra of their minimal tensor product, we define three parameters that measure capacity to align coupling given states. Further, establish duality formula shows equality for operators product relevant C*-algebras. In context abelian C*-algebras, our are related quantitative versions Arveson...

Tensor products of Gauss-Lobatto quadrature points are frequently used as collocation points in spectral element methods. Unfortunately, it is not known if Gauss-Lobatto points exist in non-tensor-product domains like the simplex. In this work, we show that the n-dimensional tensor-product of Gauss-Lobatto quadrature points are also Fekete points. This suggests a way to generalize spectral meth...

This article presents a unified approach to the abstract notions of partial convolution and involution in $L^p$-function spaces over semi-direct product of locally compact groups. Let $H$ and $K$ be locally compact groups and $tau:Hto Aut(K)$ be a continuous homomorphism.  Let $G_tau=Hltimes_tau K$ be the semi-direct product of $H$ and $K$ with respect to $tau$. We define left and right $tau$-c...

Let F be a Henselian valued field with char(F ) = p and D a semi-ramified, “not strongly degenerate” p-algebra. We show that all Galois subfields of D are inertial. Using this as a tool we study generic abelian crossed product p-algebras, proving among other things that the noncyclic generic abelian crossed product p-algebras defined by non-degenerate matrices are indecomposable p-algebras. To ...
