TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that two stationary, asymptotically flat vacuum black holes in 5 dimensions with two commuting axial symmetries are identical if and only if their masses, angular momenta, and their "interval structures" coincide.
Abstract: We show that two stationary, asymptotically flat vacuum black holes in 5 dimensions with two commuting axial symmetries are identical if and only if their masses, angular momenta, and their “interval structures” coincide. We also show that the horizon must be topologically either a 3-sphere, a ring, or a Lens-space. Our argument is a generalization of constructions of Morisawa and Ida (based in turn on key work of Maison) who considered the spherical case, combined with basic arguments concerning the nature of the factor manifold of symmetry orbits.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in an SU(2) lattice gauge theory, in the approximation where internal quark closed loops are neglected, chiral symmetry is broken.
Abstract: It is shown that in an SU(2) lattice gauge theory, in the approximation where internal quark closed loops are neglected, chiral symmetry is broken. With use of partially conserved axial-vector current f/sub ..pi../, the bare masses of the u and d quarks, and the rho and delta masses are estimated.

TL;DR: In this article, the free wave equations of motion, subsidiary conditions and corresponding gauge transformations for such fields were derived and used to derive the lowest eigenvalues of the energy operator for the representations under consideration.

TL;DR: In this article, the dependence on the Born-Infeld field strength is expressed as a relative rotation on the left and right-moving fields with opposite parameters, and applied this result to investigate the supersymmetry preserved by certain intersecting brane configurations at arbitrary angles and with non-vanishing constant Born-infeld fields.
Abstract: We present a new form of kappa-symmetry transformations for D-branes in which the dependence on the Born-Infeld field strength is expressed as a relative rotation on the left- and right-moving fields with opposite parameters. Then, we apply this result to investigate the supersymmetry preserved by certain intersecting brane configurations at arbitrary angles and with non-vanishing constant Born-Infeld fields. We also comment on the covariant quantization of the D-brane actions.
