We consider the embedding of 3+1 dimensional cosmology in 4+1 dimensional Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory. We show that exponentially growing and power law scale factors are implied. Whereas the 4+1 dimensional scalar field is approximately constant for each, the effective 3+1 dimensional scalar field is constant for exponentially growing scale factor and time dependent for power law scale factor.
We investigate five dimensional Einstein spaces in warped geometries from the point of view of the four dimensional physically relevant Robertson-Walker-Friedman cosmological metric and the Schwarzschild metric. We show that a four-dimensional cosmology with a closed spacelike section and a cosmological constant can be imbedded into five-dimensional flat space-time.
The particle algebras generated by the creation/annihilation operators for bosons and for fermions are shown to possess quantum invariance groups. These structures and their sub(quantum)groups are investigated.
The fermionic oscillator defined by the algebraic relations cc^*+c^*c=1 and c^{2}=0 admits the homogeneous group O(2) as its invariance group. We show that, the structure of the inhomogeneous invariance group of this oscillator is a quantum group.
We define a 3-generator algebra obtained by replacing the commutators by anticommutators in the defining relations of the angular momentum algebra. We show that integer spin representations are in one to one correspondence with those of the angular momentum algebra. The half-integer spin representations, on the other hand, split into two representations of dimension j + 1/2. The anticommutator spin algebra is invariant under the action of the quantum group SO_q(3) with q=-1.
The existence of a 4th SM family would produce a large enhancement of the gluon fusion channel of Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. In this case, the SM Higgs boson could be seen at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the golden mode (H->4l) with an integral luminosity of only a few fb^-1.
We propose an alternative to Dirac quantization for a quadratic constrained system. We show that this solves the Jacobi identity violation problem occuring in the Dirac quantization case and yields a well defined Fock space. By requiring the uniqueness of the ground state, we show that for non-constrained systems this approach gives the same results as Dirac quantization.
The relativistic finite-difference SUSY Quantum Mechanics (QM) is developed. We show that it is connected in a natural way with the q-deformed SUSY Quantum Mechanics. Simple examples are given.
We consider a Kaluza-Klein theory whose ground state is ${\bf R}^4 \times {\bf M } \times {\bf K}$ where ${\bf M}$ and ${\bf K}$ are compact, irreducible, homogenous internal mani folds. This is the simplest ground state compatible with the existence of the graviton, gauge fields, massless scalar fields and the absence of the cosmological constan t. The requirement for these conditions to be satisfied are the odd dimensionality of ${\bf M}$ and ${\bf K}$, and the choice of a dimensionally continued Euler form action whose dimension is the same as the dimension of ${\bf M} \times {\bf K}$. We show that in such a theory, which is not simple due to presence of two internal manifolds, the gauge couplings $g^2_M$ and $g^2_K$ are actually unified provided that the internal space sizes are constant. For ${\bf M} \times {\bf K} = S^{2m+ 1} \times S^{2k+1}$ this gauge coupling unification relation reads $g^2_M / g^2_K = m / k$.
