In this case report a four-year-old girl with ulnar dimelia is described. She had six digits without mirror symmetry in her right hand. The first pre-axial digit was excised and true pollicisation performed for the second pre-axial digit. The arterial anatomy was abnormal but there was not symmetrical development of the arterial tree.

We prove that the 1/Nc corrections to the baryon axial current matrix elements are proportional to their lowest order values. This implies that the first correction to axial current coupling constant ratios vanishes, and that the SU(2Nf ) spin-flavor symmetry relations are only violated at second order in 1/Nc.

We give a short introduction to an heuristic to nd automorphisms in a graph such as axial, central or rotational symmetries. Using technics of factorial analysis, we embed the graph in an Euclidean space and try to detect and interpret the geometric symmetries of of the embedded graph. 1. Introduction Testing whether a graph has any axial (rotational, central, respectively) symmetry is a NP-com...

The non-renormalization theorem of chiral vertices and the generalized non-renormalization theorem of the photon self energy are derived in SQED on the basis of algebraic renormalization. For this purpose the gauge coupling is extended to an external superfield. This extension already provides detailed insight into the divergence structure. Moreover, using the local supercoupling together with ...

We explore the effects of breaking and restoration of chiral and axial symmetries using an extended three-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model that incorporates explicitly the axial anomaly through the ’t Hooft interaction. We implement a temperature (density) dependence of the anomaly coefficient motivated by lattice results for the topological susceptibility. The spectrum of scalar and pseudoscala...

In the present contribution we show that the introduction of a conserved axial current in electrodynamics can explain the quantiza-tion of electric charge, preserving parity conservation, and introduces a dynamical discreteness into space-time. 1-Introduction In 1931 Dirac proposes an electromagnetic theory with magnetic monopoles [1] , whose appeal is mainly connected to the possibility of exp...

We discuss the possible symmetries of the effective lagrangian describing interacting pseudoscalar-, vector-, and axial-vector mesons. Specific choices of the parameters give rise to an [SU(2) ⊗ SU(2)] symmetry. This symmetry can be obtained either á la Georgi, with all states in the spectrum remaining massless, or in a new realization, implying decoupling of the pseudoscalar bosons from degene...
