If we put cathode rod with enormouse voltage in vacuum between strong magnetic fields pointing down parallel to rod
end then put electron in it with initial speed equal to speed of light and begin circling around cathode, Will electron make gamma -rays according to synchrotron radiation?

Every accelerated charge emits photon and hence this is true for an electron in circular motion (even if with constant angular velocity). However, note that to accelerate an electron, which is a massive particle, up to the speed of light would require an infinite force. In fact the energy of the particle is given by:
$$
E=\frac{m_0c^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}
$$
and so if you want ##v=c## to must provide infinite energy.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
