    Graduate Seiberg Duality (or dualities)

    the old website has a lost link, fortunately on archive https://web.archive.org/web/20141014035926/http://www.physics.uc.edu/~argyres/661/susy1996.pdf I think weinstein should has been more active in internet forums and that would help his memory. I can not accurately remember 2005 anymore...

    Graduate The wrong turn of string theory: our world is SUSY at low energies

    Looking at the references in Sannino's, it seems a lot of people has attempted a dual standard model.

    Graduate Seiberg Duality (or dualities)

    Lads, what is your understanding of Seiberg duality? I am using as source the book of Terning, that seems pretty decent, and somehow I don't seem to catch the basic intuitions about what maps to what and why. It can be a old trauma... first time I heard Witten was in Paris about 1993...

    Graduate Are Almost Commutative Geometries a sort of Kaluza Klein limit, or no?

    I have always taken for granted that the extra algebra ##A## in an almost commutative geometry ##C(M)\otimes A## was not only Morita equivalent to a point, but shaped in a way that its inner automorphism group remembered the isometry group of a compact space that had been contracted to a point...

    Graduate "Half a century of Supergravity" book

    I am noticing in the arxiv a series of papers marked as Invited contribution to the book "Half a century of Supergravity” eds. A. Ceresole and G. Dall'Agata (CUP, to be published) Any idea about if the book has been published or if we have at least an index of the contents?

    Graduate Furey's superalgebra and the standard model

    Furey's current work is continuation of her lectures in youtube, if someone comes here going for the "algebrological" path (happens once each ten years), go to her youtube channel.

    Graduate Furey's superalgebra and the standard model

    Yep, as I mentioned there, the "84 fermions" idea comes from a counting of degrees of freedom of my advisor, LJ Boya, in some of his last drafts on representation theory and strings. The "duality" view, on the other hand, is my own half baking, the idea being that we could look both to...

    Graduate What is new with Koide sum rules?

    In related news, I have updated the wikipedia page with the new (well, 2024) pdg measure, which was from the Belle measure that @ohwilleke noticed last year. It had not been moved since 2008 🙃 So it seems we are at Q = 0.66666446(508) Today it makes 20 years since the first mention in...

    Graduate What is new with Koide sum rules?

    Hmm @Kea and @CarlB did mention this paper back in 2006 but I had not checked it. The generalised circulant in (3) still matches Koide, does it? I mean, if a,b defined a Koide circulant. Mitchell has suggested to look again into circulants and well, I agree they were pretty elegant; the trick...

    Graduate The wrong turn of string theory: our world is SUSY at low energies

    Indeed I am a bit worried, lets see if they find some discrepancy with models.

    Graduate What is new with Koide sum rules?

    She is surely retired (b. 1951), the arxiv only has some collaborations with Nielsen (b. 1941, we invited him in out lab time ago in the nineties). Surely not used to internet forums, because clearly she missed completely this thread. It is more infuriating that her previous paper on democratic...

    Undergrad Modeling the Kaluza-Klein theory

    honestly I have no idea. Usually C is more simple, symmetry wise, than R. So between C3 and R6... Also, it seems we need seven dimensions but in a very particular way, interpolating between six and eight.

    Undergrad Modeling the Kaluza-Klein theory

    My take on this. The fundamental reading is the collection of papers Modern Kaluza-Klein Theories and inside of them, the most fundamental is Witten 1981 "Search for a Realistic Kaluza-Klein Theory" Because it sets the framework to do non abelian gauge theories. A immediate reaction to it...

    Graduate Could the Gravitational Constant G have a quantum origin?

    If it were possible to derive G out of h and c, should we start discussing with one is the derived and which ones are the two fundamentals? As we stand today, with a relationship between four constants, we consider that Planck Length is the derived one. But it is fun to consider eg that we...
