... Few paragraphs down I shall draw a distinction between measurement and observation 6 Operator is perfectly able to distinguish orthogonal inputs , , since ⟨ | | ⟩ = 0. It's just not able to encode its output as classical information, because output of is the same for any input: ⟨ | | ⟩ = ⟨ | | ⟩ = 1. The informationproducing measurement can only be performed by operator whose output is different for different inputs 7 A competed measurement event, e.g., a click of a particle detector, implicitly includes [29] 8 Sometimes it is incorrectly stated [19] that is "do nothing" operator 9 Also called the fundamental representation [30] 10 Trace of a product of two Hermitian operators is always real ...

Note that sometimes, a theory formulated within this formalism turns out to be a good starting point for deriving a Lorentz covariant formulation 10 . ...

A bstract Totally symmetric arbitrary spin conformal fields propagating in the flat space of even dimension greater than or equal to four are studied. For such fields, we develop a general ordinary-derivative light-cone gauge formalism and obtain restrictions imposed by the conformal algebra symmetries on interaction vertices. We apply our formalism for the detailed study of conformal scalar and vector fields. For such fields, all parity-even cubic interaction vertices are obtained. The cubic vertices obtained are presented in terms of dressing operators and undressed vertices. We show that the undressed vertices of the conformal scalar and vector fields are equal, up to overall factor, to the cubic vertices of massless scalar and vector fields. Various conjectures about interrelations between the cubic vertices for conformal fields in conformal invariant theories and the cubic vertices for massless fields in Poincaré invariant theories are proposed.

Suitable for graduate students in physics and mathematics, this book presents a concise and pedagogical introduction to string theory. It focuses on explaining the key concepts of string theory, such as bosonic strings, D-branes, supersymmetry and superstrings, and on clarifying the relationship between particles, fields and strings, without assuming an advanced background in particle theory or quantum field theory, making it widely accessible to interested readers from a range of backgrounds. Important ideas underpinning current research, such as partition functions, compactification, gauge symmetries and T-duality are analysed both from the world-sheet (conformal field theory) and the space-time (effective field theory) perspective. Ideal for either self-study or a one semester graduate course, A Short Introduction to String Theory is an essential resource for students studying string theory, containing examples and homework problems to develop understanding, with fully worked solutions available to instructors.

We consider the superspace BRST and BV description of 4D,N=1 super-Maxwell theory and its non-abelian generalization Super Yang–Mills. By fermionizing the superspace gauge transformation of the gauge superfields, we define the nilpotent superspace BRST symmetry transformation (𝓈). After introducing an appropriate set of anti-superfields and defining the superspace antibracket, we use it to construct the BV-BRST nilpotent differential operator (s) in terms of superspace covariant derivatives. The anti-superfield independent terms of s provide a superspace generalization of the Koszul–Tate resolution (δ). In the linearized limit, the set of superspace differential operators that appear in s satisfy a nonlinear algebra which can be used to construct a BRST charge Q, without requiring pure spinor variables. Q acts on the Hilbert space of superfield states, and its cohomology generates the expected superspace equations of motion.

In this article, we present a nonlocal Neumann boundary value problems for separate sequential fractional symmetric Hahn integrodifference equation. The problem contains five fractional symmetric Hahn difference operators and one fractional symmetric Hahn integral of different orders. We employ Banach fixed point theorem and Schauder’s fixed point theorem to study the existence results of the problem.

The existence of solutions of nonlocal fractional symmetric Hahn integrodifference boundary value problem is studied. We propose a problem of five fractional symmetric Hahn difference operators and three fractional symmetric Hahn integrals of different orders. We first convert our nonlinear problem into a fixed point problem by considering a linear variant of the problem. When the fixed point operator is available, Banach and Schauder’s fixed point theorems are used to prove the existence results of our problem. Some properties of (q,ω)-integral are also presented in this paper as a tool for our calculations. Finally, an example is also constructed to illustrate the main results.

We study the existence results of a fractional (p, q)-integrodifference equation with periodic fractional (p, q)-integral boundary condition by using Banach and Schauder’s fixed point theorems. Some properties of (p, q)-integral are also presented in this paper as a tool for our calculations.
