Symmetry impedes symmetry discrimination
Objects in the world, natural and artificial alike, are often bilaterally symmetric. The visual system is likely to take advantage of this regularity to encode shapes for efficient object recognition. The nature of encoding a symmetric shape, and of encoding any departure from it, is therefore an important matter in visual perception. We addressed this

We introduce the notion of a topological symmetry as a quantum mechanical symmetry involving a certain topological invariant. We obtain the underlying algebraic structure of the ℤ2-graded uniform topological symmetries of types (1, 1) and (2, 1). This leads to a novel derivation of the algebras of supersymmetry and p = 2 parasupersymmetry.

This paper emphasizes some geometrical properties of the Maxwell–Bloch equations. Based on these properties, the closed-form solutions of their equations are established.

The Lepschy stability test and its application to fractional-order systems [PDF]
It is shown how a stability test, alternative to the classical Routh test, can profitably be applied to check the presence of polynomial roots inside half-planes or even sectors of the complex plane.

We introduce the notion of a ghost characteristic for nonlocal differential equations. Ghosts are essential for maintaining the validity of the Jacobi identity for the charateristics of nonlocal vector fields.

Improved limit on the directly measured antiproton lifetime
Continuous monitoring of a cloud of antiprotons stored in a Penning trap for 405 days enables us to set an improved limit on the directly measured antiproton lifetime.

Minimal surfaces with non-trivial geometry in the three-dimensional Heisenberg group
We study symmetric minimal surfaces in the three-dimensional Heisenberg group Nil3 using the generalized Weierstrass type representation, the so-called loop group method.

Maximal Kinematical Invariance Group of Fluid Dynamics and Applications
The maximal kinematical invariance group of the Euler equations of fluid dynamics for the standard polytropic exponent is larger than the Galilei group.

Symmetry–simplicity, broken symmetry–complexity
Complex phenomena are made possible when: (i) fundamental physical symmetries are broken and (ii) from the set of broken symmetries historically selected ground states are applied to performing mechanical work and storing adaptive information. Over the course of several decades Philip Anderson enumerated several key principles that can follow from ...

The goal of the COMPASS experiment at CERN is to study the structure and dynamics of hadrons. The two-stage spectrometer used by the experiment has large acceptance and covers a wide kinematic range for charged as well as neutral particles and can ...
