Hello all I am working on a model in D=5 N=2 supergravity where the metric background is described by a time-dependent three brane, with one extra spatial dimension (a brane-world with bulk sort of set up). The vanishing of fermionic variations gives me the following weird projections...

Hello and thanks for your comment. About the editor I do agree. Sounds like a mistake has happened and he simply decided not to pursue it. I still think he should have handled it better but ... As for the reviewer, I must say that it is not like that. The reviewer's short comment describing...

That makes sense. I still think it is not very professional to simply ignore requests for clarification, irrespective of whether or not the paper does deserve publication.

Thanks - Yes I am aware to their application to special relativity. But what I am looking for is a precedent for a classical field Lagrangian that has split-complex solutions.

Dear colleagues I have recently come across a mathematical reference discussing all possible generalizations of complex numbers. A particularly interesting such generalization is known as split-complex numbers. These are defined: z = x+jy z* = x-jy similarly to ordinary complex numbers...

Well, I was careful to send this paper to a journal that does accept such large papers. In any case that cannot be it. What could have stopped the editor from refusing it based on size from the get go? I haven't been able to reach the editor even by phone. I think I will just give up on this...

Thanks Monique. I think I will do that.

No this is my sixth paper. It is not a completely new theory or anything non-traditional or unorthodox (I know what you mean). It is quite main stream. Most of the paper is new review and some part of it is new results.

To answer your questions: I do not think he had trouble because in one of his earlier emails he confirmed that he did send it! As for the correspondence time thing, I was emailing him on his personal email, with a Cc to the official editorial email. As for the size, that was not a problem. This...

The paper is in Supergravity. Why is that important?

I have recently had an interesting experience that I would like to get other people's input on. In October 2007 I submitted a paper to a reputable journal. In May 2008 I received a rejection email from the editor. I responded by arguing that the reviewer's comment (a single liner for a 50 page...

In my readings I came across some solutions of classical supergravity theories that are hard to understand. I am hoping some of you can give me either an explanation or a source to read. Consider a classical complex scalar field phi. Its complex conjugate is phi*. But some solutions I found...
