Modern Construction - Modular Construction

, 2020
A contemporary innovation in construction technique is the modular construction. The construction used factory-produced pre-engineered modules that are designed as per requirement. The assembly is executed on site depending on the design and site conditions.

Sigma Model BPS Lumps on Torus

, 2012
We study doubly periodic Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) lumps in supersymmetric CP^{N-1} non-linear sigma models on a torus T^2. Following the philosophy of the Harrington-Shepard construction of calorons in Yang-Mills theory, we obtain the n-lump ...

AdS_3 Partition Functions Reconstructed

, 2007
For pure gravity in AdS_3, Witten has given a recipe for the construction of holomorphically factorizable partition functions of pure gravity theories with central charge c=24k. The partition function was found to be a polynomial in the modular invariant
