... level. A few parts which are more technical and can be skipped at a first reading are written in smaller characters. Acknowledgments. I am very grateful to Stefano Fo a, Florian Du- bath, Alice Gasparini, ... scalar is a quantity that is invariant under the transformation. A typical Lorentz scalar in particle physics is the rest mass of a particle. A contravariant four-vector V µ...

In unitary gauges the BRST operator van...

... space, namely the special subspace; these anti-chiral degrees of freedom arise naturally in an operator formulation of the chiral theory. The actual quantum symmetries that arise for rational ... of a chiral conformal field theory must be a quasi-Hopf algebra (rather than a normal quantum group) whenever the quantum dimensions are not integers: to each representation H i we c...

Thus, this classical picture cannot explain why atoms are stable, why atoms of the same chemical element are always identical ... of a wave packet increases as the range of wave numbers Dk decreases.
