Desperately seeking supersymmetry (SUSY)

TL;DR: In the 20th century the mystery of the atom was unravelled, the atomic nucleus was smashed, and two new forces of nature were revealed as discussed by the authors, the weak force and the nuclear force binding the nucleus.

Moment inequalities for the partial sums of random variables

TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions under which Rosenthal type inequality is obtained from M-Z-B type inequality are discussed and conditions for obtaining type inequalities for a wide class of random variables are discussed.

A brief review of e theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear realisation based on the Kac-Moody algebra E11 and its vector representation is constructed, which is the low energy effective action for type II strings and branes.

Finite Size Scaling Effects in Dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the linear relaxation time for a finite size system with a cubic geometry and model A dynamics both above and below T c in a 4 − e expansion and 2 + e in a 2+e expansion, respectively, is derived.

Chiral-symmetry breakdown in large-N chromodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in the limit of a large number of colors, under reasonable assumptions, this symmetry group must spontaneously break down to diagonal σ(n) under chiral conditions.

On constrained instantons

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is presented for doing systematic constrained instanton calculations in models such as φ4 or Higgs theories where the presence of a mass term prevents the existence of a classical solution.
