Charles Simons Collection
No full textThis collection chronicles the World War II experience of Capen Simons, father of Charles Simons, through personal letters, newspaper clippings, official government documents, Western Union telegrams and photographs. The collection covers his activities before the war, flight training, active duty, Capen going MIA, then becoming a POW, and his recollections after the war. Capen Simons is a descendant of Maurice Kavanaugh Simons of the South Texas Archives’ Simons Family
Simons Collection
No full textFrom England to Nova Scotia to New Orleans and eventually Texas the Simons family kept their history intact by correspondence, diaries, financial reports and ledgers. Their story began in 1794 when Captain Thomas Simons left Liverpool, England and headed for the new world. The family settled in Goliad County,Texas, fought in the Texas Revolution, Mexican-American War and the United States Civil War. They lived in a volatile place and time. Documenting many events and family histories this collection spans over 200 years history of South Texas
Perturbative and Non-perturbative Aspects of the Chern-Simons-Witten Theory
No full textWe investigate a relation between non-perturbative and perturbative cases in the 2+1 dimensional Chern-Simons-
Witten (CSW) theory for G = E6 gauge group. In the perturbative case, we calculate the vacuum expectation value(VEV) of an unknotted Wilson loop operator up to order 1/k3 (k is a coupling constant). The result above is proved
to be identical to the polynomial invariant E0 (ρ) in the non-perturbative case at the same order of expansion
Evaluation as adventure: taking that risk
No full textHelen Simons traces the values that underpin her preferred methodology of case study and democratic evaluation to the central values she gained from the land of her birth. She looks back to consider what early experiences may have influenced her deep commitment to these values and how they impacted on her professional world as a teacher, a psychologist, and an evaluator. Her interview transcript which was a stimulus for this article is here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/wol1/doi/10.1002/ev.20302/suppinfo. Read only.

Henry L. Simons letter to F. M. Ransbottom, March 29, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated March 29, 1920, Henry L. Simons of the First National Bank writes to F. M. Ransbottom in Zanesville, Ohio, in regard to the leanings of the Minnesota delegates to the Republican National Convention. According to Simons, there is no overwhelming support for one candidate, but General Leonard Wood will almost certainly lead Minnesota at the beginning, but there will be time later in the Convention for Harding to come out on top. Simons advises how to ensure Harding wins the state, and provides observations on the delegates-at-large and district delegates.
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I
Scattering Amplitudes of Massive N=2 Gauge Theories in Three Dimensions
No full textWe study the scattering amplitudes of mass-deformed Chern-Simons theories and Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories with N=2 supersymmetry in three dimensions. In particular, we derive the on-shell supersymmetry algebras which underlie the scattering matrices of these theories. We then compute various 3 and 4-point on-shell tree-level amplitudes in these theories. For the mass-deformed Chern-Simons theory, odd-point amplitudes vanish and we find that all of the 4-point amplitudes can be encoded elegantly in superamplitudes. For the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory, we obtain all of the 4-point tree-level amplitudes using a combination of perturbative techniques and algebraic constraints and we comment on difficulties related to computing amplitudes with external gauge fields using Feynman diagrams. Finally, we propose a BCFW recursion relation for mass-deformed theories in three dimensions and discuss the applicability of this proposal to mass-deformed N=2 theories
Topics in Supersymmetry Breaking and Gauge/Gravity Dualities
No full textThe thesis covers two topics in string theory and quantum field theory. First, we realize metastable vacua in various supersymmetric gauge theories. Specifically, we consider the Coulomb branch of any N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory, and perturb it by a superpotential and engineer a metastable vacuum at a point. We also study its relation to Kahler normal coordinates and Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. Having studied the metastable construction, we apply this to general gauge mediation. We show how to compute the current correlators when the hidden sector is strongly coupled in specific examples.
Next, we consider gauge/gravity dualities. We apply dualities to the investigation of various strongly coupled field theories. In one example, we construct M-theory supergravity solutions with the nonrelativistic Schroedinger symmetry starting from the warped AdS_5 metric with N = 1 supersymmetry. We impose that the lightlike direction is compact by making it a nontrivial U(1) bundle over the compact space. In another example, we show that, in a gravity theory with a Chern-Simons coupling, the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole in anti-de Sitter space is unstable depending on the value of the Chern-Simons coupling. The analysis suggests that the final configuration is likely to be a spatially modulated phase.</p
