All, I was looking for “colored strings” in Google,
because I was wondering if apart from the conventional fermionic degrees of
freedom, or Chan-Paton factors, someone had attempted to add QCD-like colors to
superstrings. (I am pursuing Physics again, this time a little more
seriously – I am doing String Theory at the Well, I ran into some “colored strings” in
Physics for example: An Attempt to Study
Pentaquark Baryons in String Theory http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-ph/pdf/0404/0404019.pdf Signature Studies
of Cosmic Magnetic Monopoles http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/astro-ph/pdf/0102/0102002.pdf
etc. that weren’t exactly what I was looking for, but were
nevertheless very interesting – no doubt there are interesting patterns
in the subjects discussed above! But… I ran into some other “colored
strings” that are related to the patterns that may be of more interest to
this crowd in: A Generative Theory
of Similarity http://web.mit.edu/~ckemp/www/papers/KempBT05.pdf It is essentially a theory of perceived similarity with
logarithmic correlation functions but that uses a generative approach (a
combination of traditional pattern matching and generative pattern analysis.) The first reference of the author is …. Alexander, but
are followed by Chomsky, Feldman, etc. and even Wolfram. (I will email
the author to make him aware of Grenander’s “General Pattern
Theory” as well.) Lastly, I also ran into this blog that discusses
“colored strings” in an entirely more historical context: http://mavenyavin.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_mavenyavin_archive.html Well, that’s all I had for strings and patterns. Happy Valentine’s day!!! May your lives be useful to find all the wonderful patterns
around you, in whatever subject you happen to study! - Mike |
