Order Of Phase Transitions In A Field Theory, V. Parameswaran Nair

Publications and Research

The relation between the gauge or global nature of a symmetry being broken and the order of the associated phase transition is clarified. First-order phase transitions in gauge theories are related to the asymptotic freedom of the Φ³ interaction in six dimensions. Spontaneous violation of lepton number in the standard electroweak theory provides a nontrivial illustration of our results.

Second-Order Phase Transitions, Inflationary Universe, And Formation Of Galaxies, V. Parameswaran Nair

Publications and Research

At the critical point of a second-order phase transition, statistical fluctuations are correlated and enhanced in amplitude. We explore this phenomenon in the early universe as a possible mechanism for the formation of galaxies. In an inflationary universe, such dynamical effects on galactic scales are consistent with the constraints imposed by the horizon. Spontaneous breakdown of lepton number provides a model where these ideas are realized. The two-point correlation function for density fluctuations is calculated and agrees with the observed correlation for galaxies. An estimate of the density contrast is shown to be of the required magnitude.

Generalized Bohr-Sommerfeld Rules For Anomalies With Applications To Symmetry Breakdown And Decoupling, A. P. Balachandran, V. P. Nair, C. G. Trahern

Publications and Research

In the presence of anomalies, the requirement that a classical symmetry group G has a proper action on the fermion measure or in the effective Lagrangian description imposes Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions on the anomalies, and often implies that G is broken to a subgroup H as well. We show these results in this paper and apply them to QCD and SU(5). In particular, constraints on the QCD order parameter are derived, and an argument is presented which suggests that the breakdown of the chiral flavor symmetry and the emergence of some sort of generation structure in QCD may be natural.

Soliton States In The Quantum-Chromodynamic Effective Lagrangian, A. P. Balachandran, V. Parameswaran Nair, S. G. Rajeev, A. Stern

Publications and Research

The work of Skyrme has shown that the SU(2)×SU(2) chiral model has nontrivial topological sectors which admit solitons for generic chiral Lagrangians. In this paper, we study such models in the presence of baryon fields. The baryon number and strangeness of the solitons, and the bound states of the nucleon to the soliton are investigated. It is found that long-lived levels with large baryon number B and strangeness (≳6 in magnitude) and masses somewhere in the range 1.8 to 5.6 GeV must exist. Some of these levels have half-integral electric charge and exotic relation between B and spin s (e.g., …

The State And Underdevelopment In Spanish America: The Political Roots Of Dependency In Peru And Argentina From The Conquest To 1895, Douglas Stuart Friedman

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This study challenges the dependency perspective claim that Spanish American countries developed agro/mineral export economies in the nineteenth century as a result of their integration into the capitalist international economy. It offers an alternative interpretation which argues that the process of State building and the response of the emergent Spanish American States to internal political class struggles were chiefly responsible for setting the direction of their economies as well as the degree and character of their integration into the international economy.

Rather than focusing on the effects of the international economy in explaining the roots of dependency and underdevelopment in …

Christopher Caudwell And His Critics: A Study Of Caudwell's Philosophy Of Art And The Critical Response, Thomas Riggins

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This thesis deals with the philosophy of art of the British Marxist, Christopher Caudwell. It begins with a general discussion of the intellectual environment of Caudwell's day–i.e., the 1920s and 30s in Europe and especially in England. It then procedes to a presentation of Caudwell's basic philosophical position with major emphasis on his work Illusion and Reality. This is followed by a review of the critical assessment Caudwell's ideas evoked and a number of detractors and supporters are discussed. Special attention is then placed on a review of the aesthetic theory of Socialist Realism and Caudwell's relation to it. …

The Theory And Synthesis Of [2.2.2] Propellane, Theodore Mark Prociv

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

INDO calculations indicated that the triplet state of dimethylene cyclohexane could rearrange to gometrically relaxed triplets which should collapse preferentially to the ground state [2.2.2] Propellane. A mercury sensitized photolysis of the dimethylene cyclohexane did in fact result in detectable quantities of the propellane, trapped as 1,4 dibromobicyclo octane. Synthesis of 1,4 dibromobicyclo octane and 1,1,6,6 tetradeuterodimethylene-cyclohexane are presented in the dissertation. Included in the dissertation are the results of INDO calculations of various propellane isomers having nitrogens and borons in the bridgehead positions.

The Musical Language Of Kindertotenlieder No. 2, V. Kofi Agawu

Publications and Research

Three times during his compositional career, Mahler turned to the medium of the orchestral song cycle either to experiment with or to refine certain technical procedures. This resulted in a variety of methods for establishing large-scale tonal coherence, using song as a resource for later symphonic composition, and stylizing folk material, melodically and rhythmically. These compositional techniques are clearly exemplified in Mahler's three cycles, Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (1883-85), Kindertotenlieder (1901-04), and Das Lied von der Erde (1907-08).

Exotic Levels From Topology In The Quantum-Chromodynamic Effective Lagrangian, A. P. Balachandran, V. Parameswaran Nair, S. G. Rajeev, A. Stern

Publications and Research

Skyrme has shown that the SU ⊗ SU(2) chiral model has nontrivial topological sectors with static solutions for suitable Lagrangians. The baryon number B and strangeness of these sectors have been studied, and the existence of bound states of the nucleon field to the lightest solitons is shown. It is found that there must be long-lived levels with |B|≳6 and |s|≳6 and 1.8 GeV≲m≲5.6 GeV, some having half-integral charge and exotic relation between B and s, that can be pair produced in, say, e+e− collisions.

Aspects Of Duality In Chiral Field Theories, A. P. Balachandran, V. Parameswaran Nair, B. S. Skagerstam, C. G. Trahern

Publications and Research

The Abelian and non-Abelian gauge potentials A_uv are known to describe chiral fields. Here we study their interactions with dual extended objects. The region occupied by these objects is shown to behave like a distinct phase of chiral fields which is nondissipative under suitable geometric conditions. A method for the realization of the 't Hooft algebra in these systems is outlined. The concept of electric and magnetic duality in electromagnetism is generalized to chiral fields with values in a symmetric space.
