The most general covariant gauge fixing Lagrangian is considered for a
spin-two gauge theory in the context of the Faddeev-Popov procedure. In
general, five parameters characterize this gauge fixing. Certain limiting
values for these parame...
Quantum Properties and Gravitational Field of a Proper Time Oscillator

We find that a field with oscillations of matter in proper time has the
properties of a zero-spin bosonic field. A particle observed in this field is a
proper time oscillator. Neglecting all quantum effects, a proper time
oscillator can mim...

Numerical Analysis
The Zernike radial polynomials are a system of orthogonal polynomials over
the unit interval with weight x. They are used as basis functions in optics to
expand fields over the cross section of circular pupils. To calculate the roots
of Zer...

A new characterization of Hamiltonian graphs using f-cutset matrix is
proposed. Based on this new characterization, a new exact polynomial time
algorithm for the traveling salesman problem (TSP) is developed. We then define
the so-called or...
A survey of debris trails from short-period comets
April 17, 2007
| |
We observed 34 comets using the 24 micron camera on the Spitzer Space
Telescope. Each image contains the nucleus and covers at least 10^6 km of each
comet's orbit. Debris trails due to mm-sized or larger particles were found
along the orbit...
"Discrete" vacuum geometry as a tool for Dirac fundamental quantization

We demonstrate that assuming the "discrete" vacuum geometry in the
Minkowskian Higgs model with vacuum BPS monopole solutions can justify the
Dirac fundamental quantization of that model. The important constituent of this
quantization is ge...

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
The gravitational field exterior respectively interior to an axially
symmetric, metrically stationary, isolated spinning source made of perfect
fluid is examined within the quasi-metric framework. (A metrically stationary
system is defined ...

In cryptography, encryption is the process of obscuring information to make
it unreadable without special knowledge. This is usually done for secrecy, and
typically for confidential communications. Encryption can also be used for
authentica...

There have been many theories about the paradoxes of numbers, but this is far

Numbers which have some innovative characteristics. The basic concept of these

Stabilization phenomena in Kac-Moody algebras and quiver varieties

Representation Theory
Let X be the Dynkin diagram of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra, and X_0 a
subgraph with all vertices of degree 1 or 2. Using the crystal structure on the
components of quiver varieties for X, we show that if we expand X by extending
X_0, ...
