We study the symmetries of generalized spacetimes and corresponding phase spaces defined by Jordan algebras of degree three. The generic Jordan family of formally real Jordan algebras of degree three describe extensions of the Minkowskian spacetimes by an extra ”dilatonic” coordinate, whose rotation, Lorentz and conformal groups are SO(d−1), SO(d−1, 1)×SO(1, 1) and SO(d, 2)×SO(2, 1), respective...

A method is proposed for latticizing a class of supersymmetric gauge theories, including N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. The technique is inspired by recent work on “deconstruction”. Part of the target theory’s supersymmetry is realized exactly on the lattice, reducing or eliminating the need for fine tuning. (Talk based on the paper Supersymmetry on a Spatial Lattice, hep-lat/0206019, by D.B.K., ...

Existence of fixed point in orthogonal metric spaces has been initiated recently by Eshaghi and et al. [On orthogonal sets and Banach fixed Point theorem, Fixed Point Theory, in press]. In this paper, we introduce the notion of the strongly orthogonal sets and prove a genuine generalization of Banach' fixed point theorem and Walter's theorem. Also, we give an example showing that our main theor...

We introduce a quantale-valued generalization of approach spaces in terms of quantale-valued gauges. The resulting category is shown to be topological and to possess an initially dense object. Moreover we show that the category of quantale-valued approach spaces defined recently in terms of quantale-valued closures is a coreflective subcategory of our category and, for certain choices of the qu...

background and aims: to obtain maximum advantages from orthodontic fixed appliances and to achieve the desired final occlusion, correct bracket positioning is highly necessary. in order to measure and determine bracket’s height, diverse gauges have been used. the objective of the present study is to determine and compare bracket positioning accuracy by using height bracket positioning gauge (hb...
