Cohomology of Lie algebras
1995
This chapter is devoted to studying some concepts that will be extensively used in the last chapters, namely the cohomology of Lie algebras with values in a vector space, the Whitehead lemmas and Lie algebra extensions (which are related to second cohomology groups). The same three different cases of extensions of chapter 5 as well as the ℱ( M )-valued version of cohomology will be considered. In fact, the relation between Lie group and Lie algebra cohomology will be explored here, first with the simple example of central extensions of groups and algebras (governed by twococycles), and then in the higher order case, providing explicit formulae for obtaining Lie algebra cocycles from Lie gro…
Classical anomalies of supersymmetric extended objects
1991
Abstract The hamiltonian form of the action for a p-extended supersymmetric object is presented, and used to deduce both the algebra generated by the constraints, in agreement with previous results for p=1,2, and the algebra of the supersymmetry charges. The “anomalous” contributions in each algebra (for given p) are shown to be related, and the origin of their different properties is exhibited. In particular, it is shown why only in the charge algebra are the “anomalous” contributions always topological and the commutators of the translations always zero.
Anomalies from the Wess-Zumino-Witten action
1991
We show that the two most frequent expressions for the anomalous commutators can be both derived from quantities associated with the WZW model.
Free fields via canonical transformations of matter-coupled two-dimensional dilaton gravity models
1998
It is shown that the 1+1-dimensional matter-coupled Jackiw-Teitelboim model and the model with an exponential potential can be converted by means of appropriate canonical transformations into a bosonic string theory propagating on a flat target space with an indefinite signature. This makes it possible to consistently quantize these models in the functional Schroedinger representation thus generalizing recent results on CGHS theory.
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling for safe surgery to save lives: data from an international prospective cohort study
2021
Abstract Background Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. Methods The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18–49, 50–69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. Results NNVs were more favourable in su…
Kaluza-Klein origin for the superstring tension
1992
The natural configuration space of a string in a background antisymmetric tensor potential is not loop space, but a principal U(1) bundle over loop space. This allows a Kaluza-Klein--like interpretation of the string tension as momentum along the U(1) fiber, and a similar interpretation is possible for a {ital p}-dimensional object. The higher-dimensional'' action incorporating this momentum as a dynamical variable is given for a {ital p}-dimensional supersymmetric extended object, in a general supergravity background. Its relevance, for a flat background, to classical anomalies'' in the supersymmetry algebra is explained.
On the explicit form of consistent anomalies
1991
We show that the two most frequent expressions for the anomalous commutators can be both derived from quantities associated with the Wess-Zumino-Witten action.
