N=2 SuperTime Dependent Oscillator and spontaneous Breaking of Supersymmetry

Using the nonlinear realizations of the N=2 superVirasoro group we construct the action of the N=2 Superconformal Quantum Mechanics(SCQM) with additional harmonic potential.We show that SU(1,1|1) invariance group of this action is nontrivially embedded in the N=2 Super Virasoro group.The generalization for the (super)time dependent oscillator is constructed.In a particular case when the oscillator frequency depends on the proper-time anticommuting coordinates the unusual effect of spontaneous breaking of the supersymmetry takes place: the Masses of bosons and fermions can have different nonzero values.

On the Time Dependent Oscillator and the Nonlinear Realizations of the Virasoro Group

Using the nonlinear realizations of the Virasoro group we construct the action of the Conformal Quantum Mechanics (CQM) with additional harmonic potential. We show that $SL(2,R)$ invariance group of this action is nontrivially embedded in the reparametrization group of the time which is isomorphic to the centerless Virasoro group. We generalize the consideration to the Ermakov systems and construct the action for the time dependent oscillator. Its symmetry group is also the $SL(2,R) \sim SU(1,1)$ group embedded in the Virasoro group in a more complicated way.

Spectral theory of automorphic forms and analysis of invariant operators on $SL_3({\cal{Z}}$ with applications

We study a variety of problems in the spectral theory of automorphic forms using entirely analytic techniques such as Selberg trace formula, asymptotics of Whittaker functions and behavior of heat kernels. Error terms for Weyl's law and an analog of Selberg's eigenvalue conjecture for $SL_3({\bf Z})$ is given. We prove the following: Let $\cal H$ be the homogeneous space associated to the group $PGL_3(\bf R)$. Let $X = Γ{\backslash SL_3({\bf Z}})$ and consider the first non-trivial eigenvalue $λ_1$ of the Laplacian on $L^2(X)$. Using geometric considerations, we prove the inequality $λ_1 > 3pi^2/10> 2.96088.$ Since the continuous spectrum is represented by the band $[1,\infty)$, our bound on $λ_{1}$ can be viewed as an analogue of Selberg's eigenvalue conjecture for quotients of the hyperbolic half space. Brief comment on relevance of automorphic forms to applications in high energy physics is given.

Mass Relations for the Quark-Diquark Model

Quark model with potentials derived from QCD, including the quark-diquark model for excited hadrons gives mass formulae in very good agreement with experiment and goes a long way in explaining the approximate symmetries and supersymmetries of the hadronic spectrum, including the symmetry breaking mechanism.

Self-Dual Fields and Quaternion Analyticity

Quaternionic formulation of D=4 conformal group and of its associated twistors and their relation to harmonic analyticity is presented. Generalization of $SL(2,\cal{C})$ to the D=4 conformal group SO(5,1) and its covering group $SL(2,\cal{Q})$ that generalizes the euclidean Lorentz group in $R^4$ [namely $SO(3,1)\approx SL(2,\cal{C})$ which allow us to obtain the projective twistor space $CP^3$] is shown. Quasi-conformal fields are introduced in D=4 and Fueter mappings are shown to map self-dual sector onto itself (and similarly for the anti-self-dual part). Differentiation of Fueter series and various forms of differential operators are shown, establishing the equivalence of Fueter analyticity with twistor and harmonic analyticity. A brief discussion of possible octonion analyticity is provided.

Symmetries and Mass Predictions of the Supersymmetric Quark Model

QCD justification of SU(m/n) supergroups are shown to provide a basis for the existence of an approximate hadronic supersymmetry. Effective Hamiltonian of the relativistic quark model is derived, leading to hadronic mass formulae in remarkable agreement with experiments. Bilocal approximation to hadronic structure and incorporation of color through octonion algebra (based on quark-antidiquark symmetry) is also shown to predict exotic diquark-antidiquark ($D-\bar{D}$) meson states. A minimal supersymmetric sceme based on $SU(3)^c \times SU(6/1)$ that excludes exotics is constructed. Symmetries of three quark systems and possible relativistic formulation of the quark model through the spin realization of Wess-Zumino algebra is presented.

Chiral Symmetry and Vertex Symmetry in the Extended Moeller-Rosenfeld Model

Vertex symmetry for interacting fermions will be shown to lead to a Lagrangian exhibiting $SU(2N)_W$ invariance associated with the subgroup $SU(2N)_q \times SU(2N)_{\bar{q}}$ generated by $C$-odd and $C$-even spin operators. Approximate $SU(6)_W$ vertex symmetry as well as chiral invariance will then be shown to follow from a principle of maximum smoothness (Möller-Rosenfeld) of the bound state quark wave function.

Constraint Superalgebras and Their Application to Gauge Field Theories and String Theories

We show that with every classical system possessing first class constraints that form a natural Lie algebra, we can associate a superalgebra that admits the constraint Lie algebra as a subalgebra. An odd generator of this superalgebra that commutes with the constraints is shown to be the BRST operator whose form follows from a non linear coset representation of the superalgebra. We further show the existence of the superalgebra for all Yang-Mills theories and for 26-dimensional bosonic strings.

Effective Hadronic Lagrangians Based on QCD: Potential Models and Skyrmions

An approximate hadronic symmetry based on spin and flavor independence and broken by spin and mass dependent terms is shown to follow from QCD. This symmetry justifies the SU(6) classification scheme, but is more general in allowing its supersymmetric extension based on a diquark-antiquark symmetry. It will be shown that the same supersymmetry is also implied in the skyrmion type effective Lagrangian which could be extracted from QCD. Predictions of the Skyrme model is improved by using different realizations of the chiral group.

Exceptional Projective Geometries and Internal Symmetries

A new mneumonic device is shown to emerge in connection with O(7) numerical tensors exhibiting duality and reflecting the natural 7=(4+3) splitting of 7-dimensional space. Then Desargues' and Pappus' theorems are shown to be connected through a geometry that makes use of octonionic numbers exhibiting this duality. Construction of exceptional Hilbert space based on Jordan algebras and exceptional projective geometries is illustrated. A brief discussion of the Moufang plane and non-Desarguesian geometries is presented.

On an Analog of Selberg's Eigenvalue Conjecture for SL_3(Z)

Let H be the homogeneous space associated to the group PGL_3(R). Let X=Γ/H where Γ=SL_3(Z) and consider the first non-trivial eigenvalue λ_1 of the Laplacian on L^2(X). Using geometric considerations, we prove the inequality λ_1<pi^2/10. Since the continuous spectrum is represented by the band [1,\infty), our bound on λ_1 can be viewed as an analogue of Selberg's eigenvalue conjecture for quotients of the hyperbolic half space.

Algebraic Realization of Quark-Diquark Supersymmetry

Algebraic realizations of supersymmetry through SU(m,n) type superalgebras are developed. We show their applications to a bilocal quark-antiquark or a quark-diquark systems. A new scheme based on SU(6/1) is fully exploited and the bilocal approximation is shown to get carried unchanged into it. Color algebra based on octonions allows the introduction of a new larger algebra that puts quarks, diquarks and exotics in the same supermultiplet as hadrons and naturally suppresses quark configurations that are symmetrical in color space and antisymmetrical in remaining flavor, spin and position variables. A preliminary work on the first order relativistic formulation through the spin realization of Wess-Zumino super-Poincare algebra is presented.

Weyl's Law with Error Estimate

Let X=Sl(3,Z)\Sl(3,R)/SO(3,R). Let N(lambda) denote the dimension of the space of cusp forms with Laplace eigenvalue less than lambda. We prove that N(lambda)=C lambda^(5/2)+O(lambda^2) where C is the appropriate constant establishing Weyl's law with a good error term for the noncompact space X. The proof uses the Selberg trace formula in a form that is modified from the work of Wallace and also draws on results of Stade and Wallace and techniques of Huntley and Tepper. We also, in the course of the proof, give an upper bound on the number of cusp forms that can violate the Ramanujan conjecture.
