Some Aspects of Quasi-Quanta
This paper discusses q-quanta, or quasi-quanta, which are entitities which contribute very high order terms to their environment. If the density of these q is sufficiently high, then they exert measur...

Phenomenology of Chan-Paton Defects on Open Strings
This paper investigates the rôle of defects on extended quantum objects by generalizing the Chan-Paton factors of string theory as bimodules, wherein left-and right-actions encode brane dynamics. We i...
