On nilpotent Moufang loops with central associators
2007
Abstract In this paper, we investigate Moufang p-loops of nilpotency class at least three for p > 3 . The smallest examples have order p 5 and satisfy the following properties: (1) They are of maximal nilpotency class, (2) their associators lie in the center, and (3) they can be constructed using a general form of the semidirect product of a cyclic group and a group of maximal class. We present some results concerning loops with these properties. As an application, we classify proper Moufang loops of order p 5 , p > 3 , and collect information on their multiplication groups.
Running Immirzi Parameter and Asymptotic Safety
2011
We explore the renormalization group (RG) properties of quantum gravity, using the vielbein and the spin connection as the fundamental field variables. We require the effective action to be invariant under the semidirect product of spacetime diffeomorphisms and local frame rotations. Starting from the corresponding functional integral we review the construction of an appropriate theory space and an exact funtional RG equation operating on it. We then solve this equation on a truncated space defined by a three parameter family of Holst-type actions which involve a running Immirzi parameter. We find evidence for the existence of an asymptotically safe fundamental theory. It is probably inequi…
On the p-length of some finite p-soluble groups
2014
The main aim of this paper is to give structural information of a finite group of minimal order belonging to a subgroup-closed class of finite groups and whose $p$-length is greater than $1$, $p$ a prime number. Alternative proofs and improvements of recent results about the influence of minimal $p$-subgroups on the $p$-nilpotence and $p$-length of a finite group arise as consequences of our study
Kac-Moody group representations and generalization of the Sugawara construction of the Virasoro algebra
1988
We discuss the dynamical structure of the semidirect product of the Virasoro and affine Kac-Moody groups within the framework of a group quantization formalism. This formalism provides a realization of the Virasoro algebra acting on Kac-Moody Fock states which generalizes the Sugawara construction. We also give an explicit construction of the standard Kac-Moody group representations associated with strings on SU(2) and recover, in particular, the ‘renormalization’ β factor of L(z)
Two-Higgs-doublet models with a flavored Z2 symmetry
2020
Two-Higgs-doublet models usually consider an ad-hoc Z2 discrete symmetry to avoid flavor changing neutral currents. We consider a new class of two-Higgs-doublet models where Z2 is enlarged to the symmetry group F⋊Z2, i.e., an inner semidirect product of a discrete symmetry group F and Z2. In such a scenario, the symmetry constrains the Yukawa interactions but goes unnoticed by the scalar sector. In the most minimal scenario, Z3⋊Z2=D3, flavor changing neutral currents mediated by scalars are absent at tree and one-loop level, while at the same time predictions to quark and lepton mixing are obtained, namely a trivial Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and a Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matr…
Split extensions, semidirect product and holomorph of categorical groups
2006
Working in the context of categorical groups, we show that the semidirect product provides a biequivalence between actions and points. From this biequivalence, we deduce a two-dimensional classification of split extensions of categorical groups, as well as the universal property of the holomorph of a categorical group. We also discuss the link between the holomorph and inner autoequivalences.
Properties of a matrix group associated to a {K,s+1}-potent matrix
2012
In a previous paper, the authors introduced and characterized a new kind of matrices called {K,s+1}-potent. In this paper, an associated group to a {K, s+1}-potent matrix is explicitly constructed and its properties are studied. Moreover, it is shown that the group is a semidirect product of Z_2 acting on Z_{(s+1)^2-1}. For some values of s, more specifications on the group are derived. In addition, some illustrative examples are given.
