In the mathematics mathematical field of knot theory , a chiralknot is a knot mathematics knot that is not knot equivalence equivalent to its mirror image. An oriented knot that is equivalent to its mirror image is an amphichiral knot , also called an achiral knot or amphicheiral knot . The chirality of a knot is a knot invariant .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Cleanup rewrite date May 2009 In theoretical physics , one often analyzes theories with supersymmetry in which chiral superfields play an important role. In four dimensions, the minimal N 1 supersymmetry may be written using the notion of superspace . Superspace contains the usual space time coordinates math x mu math , math mu 0, ldots,3 math , and four extra fermionic coordinates math theta 1, theta 2, bar theta 1, bar theta 2 math , transforming as a two component Weyl spinor and its conjugate. In N 1 supersymmetry in 3 1D, a chiral superfield is a function over chiral superspace . There exists a projection from the full superspace to chiral superspace. So, a function over chiral superspace can be Differential geometry pulled back to the full superspace. Such a function satisfies the covariant constraint math overline D f 0 math . Similarly, we also have an antichiral superspace which is the complex conjugate of chiral superspace and antichiral superfield s. Superspace is the homogeneous space of the SUSY supergroup with the Lorentz group as the stabilizer. Chiral superspace is the homogeneous space with the supergroup generated by the Lorentz transformations and math overline Q math as the stabilizer. Clearly, there is a projection mathematics projection from the former to the latter. Every superfield i.e. a field that depends on all coordinates of the superspace may be expanded with respect to the fermionic coordinates. There exists a special kind of superfields, the so called chiral superfields , that, in the chiral representation of supersymmetry, depend only on the variables math theta math but not their conjugates. See also F term s. Chiral superfields satisfy the relation math overline D dot alpha f 0 math . They can also be expressed as fields over chiral superspace .

A chiral auxiliary is a chemical compound or unit that is temporarily incorporated into an organic synthesis so that it can be carried out asymmetrically with the selective formation of one of two enantiomer s ref Compendium of chiral auxiliary applications ed. Roos, G. , Academic Press, New York, 2002 . ref ref Chiral auxiliaries principles and recent applications Gnas, Y. Glorius, F. Synthesis 2006 , 1899 DOI 10.1055 s 2006 942399 . ref . Chiral auxiliaries are optically active compounds and introduce chirality in otherwise racemic compounds. The temporary stereocenter then forces the asymmetric formation of a second stereocenter using steric hindrance or directing groups to determine chirality. After the creation of the second stereocenter the original auxiliary can be removed in a third step and recycling recycled . Chiral auxiliaries were introduced by E.J. Corey in 1978 with chiral menthol 8 phenylmenthol and by B.M. Trost in 1980 with chiral mandelic acid . The menthol compound is difficult to prepare and an alternative is trans 2 phenyl 1 cyclohexanol introduced by J. K. Whitesell in 1985.

QCD is a gauge field theory based on a gauge group known as color SU 3 sub C sub with an octet of colored gluon s known as gluons acting as the force carriers between a triplet of colored quarks. In Chiral Color, QCD is extended to a gauge group which is SU 3 sub L sub × SU 3 sub R sub and leads to a second octet of force carriers. SU 3 sub C sub is identified with a diagonal subgroup of these two factors. The gluons correspond to the unbroken gauge bosons and the color octet axigluons which couple strongly to the quarks are massive. Hence the name is Chiral Color. Although Chiral Color has presently no experimental support which is not really any worse than most models currently investigated it has the aesthetic advantage of rendering the Standard Model more similar in its treatment of the two short range forces, strong and weak interactions.

Noref date August 2009 In nuclear physics , the chiral model is a Phenomenology particle physics phenomenological model describing meson s in the chiral limit where the masses of the quark s go to zero without mentioning quarks at all . It s a nonlinear sigma model with the principal homogeneous space of the Lie group special unitary group SU N as its target manifold where N is the number of quark flavor s. The Riemannian metric of the target manifold is given by a positive constant multiplied by the Killing form acting upon the Maurer Cartan form of SU N . The internal global symmetry of this model is SU N sub L sub × SU N sub R sub , the left and right copies respectively where the left copy acts as the group action left action upon the target space and the right copy acts as the group action right action . The left copy describes rotations among the left handed quarks while the right copy describes rotations among the right handed quarks and they are independent of each other. This model admits topological soliton s called Skyrmion s. Category Quantum field theory Category Quantum chromodynamics Category Nuclear physics Quantum field theories particle stub ... more details
A chiral anomaly is the anomaly physics anomalous nonconservation of a chirality physics chiral current. In some theories of fermion fermions with chiral symmetry , the Quantization physics quantization may lead to the breaking of this global chiral symmetry. In that case, the charge associated with the chiral symmetry is not conserved. The non conservation happens in a tunneling process from one Vacuum Quantum mechanical definition vacuum to another. Such a process is called an instanton . In the case of a symmetry related to the conservation of a fermionic particle number , one may understand the creation of such particles as follows. The definition of a particle is different in the two vacuum states between which the tunneling occurs therefore a state of no particles in one vacuum corresponds to a state with some particles in the other vacuum. In particular, there is a Dirac sea of fermions and, when such a tunneling happens, it causes the energy level s of the sea fermions to gradually shift upwards for the particles and downwards for the anti particles, or vice versa.

While inspired by knots which appear in daily life in shoelaces and rope, a mathematician s knot differs in that the ends are joined together so that it cannot be undone. In precise mathematical language, a knot is an embedding of a circle ... knot. For example, a common method of describing a knot is a planar diagram called a knot diagram. Any given knot can be drawn in many different ways using a knot diagram. Therefore, a fundamental problem in knot theory is determining when two descriptions represent the same knot. A complete algorithmic ..., knots are often distinguished by using a knot invariant , a quantity which is the same when computed from different descriptions of a knot. Important invariants include knot polynomials , knot group s, and hyperbolic invariants. The original motivation for the founders of knot theory was to create a table of knots and link knot theory link s, which are knots of several components entangled with each other.
