The entire concept of notability is antithetical to the functioning of the internet. who cares about Phlostigen, i mean really who really knows what a gluon is, and i have never even herd of an ibex, they must be radically unimportant.

  • The crystals and the Play Pen floating in a void, with no power source, would leave the Phites effectively dead, but some of the team believed there could be a thin plasma of protons and electrons too, created by a form of Higgs decay that bypassed the unendurable quark-gluon fireball of a hot Big Bang. —  InterzoneScienceFictionandFantasyMagazine#215
  • Motivated by the gluon-chain model of flux tube formation, we compute and diagonalize the transfer matrix in lattice SU (2) gauge theory for states containing heavy static quark-antiquark sources, with separations up to one fermi. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • The elements of the transfer matrix are calculated by variational Monte Carlo methods, in a basis of states obtained by acting on the vacuum state with zero, one, and two-gluon operators in Coulomb gauge. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • The color Coulomb potential is obtained from the zero gluon to zero gluon element of the transfer matrix, and it is well-known that while this potential is asymptotically linear, it has a slope which is two to three times larger than the standard asymptotic string tension. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • We show that the addition of one and two gluon states results in a potential which is still linear, but the disagreement with the standard asymptotic string tension is reduced to 38\% at the largest lattice coupling we have studied. adsqcd duality entanglement gravity katsura ogilvie polchinski polyakov skyrmion topological-order CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
