Topological gauge theories of antisymmetric tensor fields

M Blau, G Thompson - Annals of Physics, 1991 - Elsevier
We introduce a new class of topological gauge field theories in any dimension, based on
anti-symmetric tensor fields, and discuss the BRST-quantization of these reducible systems as …

Fluorine-18: a new isotope for bone scanning

M Blau, W Nagler, MA Bender - J. nuclear Med., 1962 - osti.gov
The possibility of detecting bone lesions by isotope scanning after the administration of F/sup
18/ is discussed. The ies, preparation, and half life of F/sup 18/ are reviewed. Eighteen …

Penrose limits and maximal supersymmetry

M Blau, J Figueroa-O'Farrill, C Hull… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
… We show that the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave of IIB superstring and M-theories can
be obtained as a Penrose limit of the supersymmetric AdS × S solutions. In addition, we find …
