Some recent results for SU(3)$$ SU(3) $$ and octonions within the geometric algebra approach to the fundamental forces of nature
Anthony Lasenby
Jan 09, 2023
Different ways of representing the group S U ( 3 ) $$ SU(3) $$ within a Geometric Algebra approach are explored. As part of this, we consider characteristic multivectors for S U ( 3 ) $$ SU(3) $$ and how these are linked with...

SU(2)^2xU(1)-invariant G_2-instantons on the AC limit of the C7 family
We construct SU(2)^2xU(1)-invariant G_2-instantons on the asymptotically conical limit of the C7 family of G_2-metrics. The construction uses a dynamical systems approach involving perturbations of an abelian solution and a...

Phenomenology of a SU(2) triplet Higgs.
Vera Agustin Sabio
Feb 15, 2010
We study the Renormalization Group (RG) evolution of the couplings in a model with a real SU(2) triplet in the Higgs sector. Insisting that the model remain valid up to 1 TeV we show that it is possible for there to be no light...

This chapter aims at introducing issues of citizenship education arising from the social, historical, and political context of Hong Kong before and after its handover from Britain to the People's Republic of China in 1997. It...
Investigating X chromosome non-disjunction in <em>Drosophila melanogaster su(var)3-9</em> mutants
Meiotic recombination is a highly regulated process necessary for promoting proper chromosome disjunction during the first meiotic division. Notably, reduced levels of meiotic recombination are observed in heterochromatic...

Exact properties of an integrated correlator in N = 4 SU( N ) SYM
Abstract: We present a novel expression for an integrated correlation function of four superconformal primaries in SU(N) N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (N = 4 SYM) theory. This integrated correlator, which is based on...

Single-photon-multi-layer-interference lithography for high-aspect-ratio and three-dimensional SU-8 micro-/nanostructures.
We report microstructures of SU-8 photo-sensitive polymer with high-aspect-ratio, which is defined as the ratio of height to in-plane feature size. The highest aspect ratio achieved in this work exceeds 250. A multi-layer and...

Non-Lorentzian SU(1, n) Spacetime Symmetry In Various Dimensions
N Lambert, R Mouland, T Orchard
Jul 07, 2022
We discuss non-Lorentzian Lagrangian field theories in $2n-1$ dimensions that admit an $SU(1,n)$ spacetime symmetry which includes a scaling transformation. These can be obtained by a conformal compactification of a...

This paper examines the central-local relation between Beijing and Hong Kong in the final stage of the COVID-19 combat, by analyzing Hong Kong's policy responses regarding public space governance in 2022. Drawing on the combined...
Can Your DNA Influence Your Bet-Placing? The Impact of Cannabinoid Receptor 1 Gene on Gambling Tasks.
Are we placing a bet by ourselves or has our DNA already made the decision for us? Previous research has suggested that some genes related to dopamine or serotonin can influence our non-bet-placing decision-making, but little is...

Evidence for a non-supersymmetric 5d CFT from deformations of 5d SU(2) SYM
We study supersymmetry breaking deformations of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ 5d fixed point known as $E_1$, the UV completion of $SU(2)$ super-Yang-Mills. The phases of the non-supersymmetric theory can be characterized by Chern-Simons...
