Polymorphic Endpoint Types for Copyless Message Passing
We present PolySing#, a calculus that models process interaction based on
copyless message passing, in the style of Singularity OS. We equip the calculus
with a type system that accommodates polymorphic endpoint types, which are a
variant of polymorphic session types, and we show that well-typed processes are
free from faults, leaks, and communication errors. The type system is
essentially linear, although linearity alone may leave room for scenarios where
well-typed processes leak memory. We identify a condition on endpoint types
that prevents these leaks from occurring.Comment: In Proceedings ICE 2011, arXiv:1108.014
Typing Copyless Message Passing
We present a calculus that models a form of process interaction based on
copyless message passing, in the style of Singularity OS. The calculus is
equipped with a type system ensuring that well-typed processes are free from
memory faults, memory leaks, and communication errors. The type system is
essentially linear, but we show that linearity alone is inadequate, because it
leaves room for scenarios where well-typed processes leak significant amounts
of memory. We address these problems basing the type system upon an original
variant of session types.Comment: 50 page
Behavioral types in programming languages
A recent trend in programming language research is to use behav- ioral type theory to ensure various correctness properties of large- scale, communication-intensive systems. Behavioral types encompass concepts such as interfaces, communication protocols, contracts, and choreography. The successful application of behavioral types requires a solid understanding of several practical aspects, from their represen- tation in a concrete programming language, to their integration with other programming constructs such as methods and functions, to de- sign and monitoring methodologies that take behaviors into account. This survey provides an overview of the state of the art of these aspects, which we summarize as the pragmatics of behavioral types
Higgs boson production at hadron colliders: differential cross sections through next-to-next-to-leading order
We present a calculation of the fully differential cross section for Higgs
boson production in the gluon fusion channel through next-to-next-to-leading
order in perturbative QCD. We apply the method introduced in
\cite{Anastasiou:2003gr} to compute double real emission corrections. Our
calculation permits arbitrary cuts on the final state in the reaction . It can be easily extended to include decays of the Higgs boson into
observable final states. In this Letter, we discuss the most important features
of the calculation, and present some examples of physical applications that
illustrate the range of observables that can be studied using our result. We
compute the NNLO rapidity distribution of the Higgs boson, and also calculate
the NNLO rapidity distribution with a veto on jet activity.Comment: 4 pgs, 2 figs; references adde
Dynamical coupled-channel model of meson production reactions in the nucleon resonance region
A dynamical coupled-channel model is presented for investigating the nucleon
resonances in the meson production reactions induced by pions and photons. The
model is based on an energy-independent Hamiltonian which is derived from a set
of Lagrangians by using a unitary transformation method. By applying the
projection operator techniques,we derive a set of coupled-channel equations
which satisfy the unitarity conditions within the channel space spanned by the
considered two-particle meson-baryon states and the three-particle
state. We present and explain in detail a numerical method based on a
spline-function expansion for solving the resulting coupled-channel equations
which contain logarithmically divergent one-particle-exchange driving terms
resulted from the unitarity cut. We show that this driving term can
generate rapidly varying structure in the reaction amplitudes associated with
the unstable particle channels. It also has large effects in determining the
two-pion production cross sections. Our results indicate that cautions must be
taken to interpret the parameters extracted from using models which do
not include cut effects.Comment: 73 pages, 20 figure
Fractional Branes and N=1 Gauge Theories
We discuss fractional D3-branes on the orbifold C^3/Z_2*Z_2. We study the
open and the closed string spectrum on this orbifold. The corresponding N=1
theory on the brane has, generically, a U(N_1)*U(N_2)*U(N_3)*U(N_4) gauge group
with matter in the bifundamental. In particular, when only one type of brane is
present, one obtains pure N=1 Yang-Mills. We study the coupling of the branes
to the bulk fields and present the corresponding supergravity solution, valid
at large distances. By using a probe analysis, we are able to obtain the
Wilsonian beta-function for those gauge theories that possess some chiral
multiplet. Although, due to the lack of moduli, the probe technique is not
directly applicable to the case of pure N=1 Yang-Mills, we point out that the
same formula gives the correct result also for this case.Comment: 21 pages, AMS-LaTeX, v2: references added and typos correcte
High-Energy QCD as a Topological Field Theory
We propose an identification of the conformal field theory underlying
Lipatov's spin-chain model of high-energy scattering in perturbative QCD. It is
a twisted N=2 supersymmetric topological field theory, which arises as the
limiting case of the SL(2,R)/U(1) non-linear sigma model that also plays a role
in describing the Quantum Hall effect and black holes in string theory. The
doubly-infinite set of non-trivial integrals of motion of the high-energy
spin-chain model displayed by Faddeev and Korchemsky are identified as the
Cartan subalgebra of a W_{\infty} \otimes W_{\infty} bosonic sub-symmetry
possessed by this topological theory. The renormalization group and an analysis
of instanton perturbations yield some understanding why this particular
topological spin-chain model emerges in the high-energy limit, and provide a
new estimate of the asymptotic behaviour of multi-Reggeized-gluon exchange.Comment: 24 pages LATEX, one eps figure incorporate
Observation of the isospin-violating decay
Using a sample of 1.31 billion events collected with the BESIII
detector at the BEPCII collider, the decays and are
investigated. The isospin violating decay
with , is observed for the first time. The width of the
obtained from the dipion mass spectrum is found to be much smaller
than the world average value. In the mass spectrum, there
is evidence of production. By studying the decay , the branching fractions of and
, as well as their ratio, are also measured.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, published in Phys. Rev.
