SYSTEMATICS OF BOUNDARY ACTIONS IN GAUGE THEORY AND GRAVITY

Systematics of boundary actions in gauge theory and gravity

Abstract We undertake a general study of the boundary (or edge) modes that arise in gauge and gravitational theories Speaker brackets defined on a space with boundary, either asymptotic or at finite distance, focusing on efficient techniques for computing the corresponding boundary action.Such actions capture all the dynamics of the system that are

Acceptability of test and treat with doxycycline against Onchocerciasis in an area of persistent transmission in Massangam Health District, Cameroon.

The main onchocerciasis elimination strategy is annual Community-Directed Treatment with ivermectin (CDTi).However, as a response to persistent high infection prevalence in Massangam Health District in Cameroon, two rounds of alternative treatments including biannual CDTi, ground larviciding and test and treat with doxycycline (TTd) were implemente

Improving the description of multiple interactions in Herwig

Abstract The modeling of multiple parton interactions in Monte Carlo event generators is a crucial part not only for the dressing Vacuum Tool Adaptor of signal processes but also to describe data with a minimum bias on the event selection.Much work has and will be put into the theoretical framework and the numerical implementation of these models.I
