Firstly, a short reminder of the Kaluza-Klein programme and a review of the Coset Space Dimensional Reduction of higher dimensional gauge theories will be given. Then, the “fuzzy sphere” will be presented, as a representative example of a non-commuta...

The relationship between morphological symmetry and mating success in animals varies dramatically across species and populations. The reasons for this heterogeneity in effect size are poorly understood, which has lead to intense debate among evolutio...

Potassium channels are integral membrane proteins that selectively transport K+ ions across cell membranes. They function through a pair of gates, which work in tandem to allow the passage of the ions through the channel pore in a coupled system, to...

We consider a class of discrete time two-dimensional dynamic systems that are symmetric, i.e., (x’,y’) = T(x,y) such that ToS = SoT, where S: (x,y)→(y,x) is the reflection through the diagonal. Symmetry implies some properties in terms of qualitative...

This paper discusses the new auspicious trends of internet of things (IoT) and its advanced developments in various sectors of today’s IT arena, including for industrial sectors. Each object acts as a communication node (or entity) that is able to co...

It is well known that the field equations of f(T) gravity break local Lorentz invariance if one a priori assumes a vanishing spin connection, except in the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) case f(T) = T + Λ. One consequence is the...

Radio frequency interference has been considered a major common issue in wireless communication systems; among several other potential major issues, the emergence and massive development of Internet of things (IoT) is also considered a crucial issue...

Generalized Heisenberg-Euler Formula and Its Application to Vacuum Magnetic Birefringence Experiment

  • Akio Sugamoto,
  • Xing Fan,
  • Shusei Kamioka,
  • Kimiko Yamashita and
  • Shoji Asai

The Heisenberg-Euler formula, describing the non-linear effective action of a photon, is generalized to include parity violating effects. Using the formula, how to probe the dark sector via the magnetic birefringence experiments is studied, in which...

Nonlinear generalizations of integrable equations in one-dimension, such as the KdV and Bousinesq equations with p-power nonlinearities, arise in many physical applications and are interesting in analysis due to their critical behaviour. [...]

Symmetry in Icosahedral Viruses: How It Is Exploited in the XFEL

  • Fatemehsadat Jamalidinan,
  • Daniel Agterberg and
  • Dilano Kerzaman Saldin

We propose a new method of determining the structure of an icosahedral virus by exploiting the point-group icosahedral symmetry in the virus particle, which Caspar and Klug (1962) said was very common in virus structures [1]. [...]

We consider the most general form of the Noether theorem which is suitable for the treatment of global symmetries, described by symmetry-groups, and local symmetries, described by symmetry-algebras, which may not be integrable to symmetry groups. The...

We discuss various theories of modified gravity which aim to describe the whole evolution of the universe, from early-time inflation via radiation/matter dominance and finally to the dark energy era. Such unified evolution may be described in frames...
