Correlation functions for chiral primaries in D=6 Supergravity on
Six dimensional supergravities on present interest due to
the role they play in the correspondence. The correspondence in this
case states the equivalence between supergravity on the given background and a
still unknown conformal field theory. The conformal field theory in question is
expected to appear by deforming of the free conformal field theory on
in a way which preserves the superconformal symmetry. The purpose of
this paper is to compute the first nontrivial corrections to the equations of
motion for the chiral primary fields coming from supergravity. Using the
methods already developed which involve nontrivial redefinitions of fields, we
compute three-point correlation functions for scalar chiral primaries and
notice similarities between their expressions and those obtained in the
orbifold conformal field theory.Comment: 15 pages, harvmac bi
Filling a box with translates of two bricks
We give a new proof of the following interesting fact recently proved by
Bower and Michael: if a d-dimensional rectangular box can be tiled using
translates of two types of rectangular bricks, then it can also be tiled in the
following way. We can cut the box across one of its sides into two boxes, one
of which can be tiled with the first brick only and the other one with the
second brick. Our proof relies on the Fourier Transform. We also show that no
such result is true for three, or more, types of bricks
Fourier pairs of discrete support with little structure
We give a simple proof of the fact that there exist measures on the real line
of discrete support, whose Fourier Transform is also a measure of discrete
support, yet this Fourier pair cannot be constructed by repeatedly applying the
Poisson Summation Formula finitely many times. More specifically the support of
both the measure and its Fourier Tranform are not contained in a finite union
of arithmetic progressions.Comment: The bibliography was missing from the previous versio
