On the renormalization of the Polyakov loop
We discuss a non-perturbative renormalization of n-point Polyakov loop
correlation functions by explicitly introducing a renormalization constant for
the Polyakov loop operator on a lattice deduced from the short distance
properties of 2-point correlators. We calculate this constant for the
SU(3)gauge theory.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, To appear in the proceedings of Workshop on Strong

Embedding the Zee-Wolfenstein neutrino mass matrix in an SO(10) x A4 GUT scenario
We consider renormalizable SO(10) Yukawa interactions and put the three
fermionic 16-plets into the 3-dimensional irreducible A_4 representation.
Scanning the possible A_4 representation assignments to the scalars, we find a
unique case which allows to accommodate the down-quark and charged-lepton
masses. Assuming type II seesaw dominance, we obtain a viable scenario with the
Zee-Wolfenstein neutrino mass matrix, i.e., the Majorana mass matrix with a
vanishing diagonal. Contributions from the charged-lepton mass matrix resolve
the well-known problems with lepton mixing arising from the vanishing diagonal.
In our scenario, fermion masses and mixings are well reproduced for both normal
and inverted neutrino mass spectra, and b-tau Yukawa unification and definite
predictions for the effective mass in neutrinoless double-beta decay are
obtained.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figures, v2: final version for Phys. Rev.

Gribov Copies in the Minimal Landau Gauge: the Influence on Gluon and Ghost Propagators
We study the influence of Gribov copies on gluon and ghost propagators,
evaluated numerically in pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the minimal Landau
gauge. Simulations are done at four different values of (namely
= 0, 0.8, 1.6 and 2.7) and for volumes up to (up to at =
1.6). For the gluon propagator, Gribov noise seems to be of the order of
magnitude of the numerical accuracy, even at very small values of the coupling
. On the contrary, for the ghost propagator, Gribov noise is clearly
observable for the three values of in the strong-coupling regime. In
particular, data corresponding to the minimal Landau gauge are always smaller
than those obtained in a generic Landau gauge. This result can be qualitatively
explained.Comment: 19 pages, including three figures; minor modifications following

Towards Optimal Degree-distributions for Left-perfect Matchings in Random Bipartite Graphs
Consider a random bipartite multigraph with left nodes and right nodes. Each left node has random right
neighbors. The average left degree is fixed, . We ask
whether for the probability that has a left-perfect matching it is
advantageous not to fix for each left node but rather choose it at
random according to some (cleverly chosen) distribution. We show the following,
provided that the degrees of the left nodes are independent: If is an
integer then it is optimal to use a fixed degree of for all left
nodes. If is non-integral then an optimal degree-distribution has the
property that each left node has two possible degrees, \floor{\Delta} and
\ceil{\Delta}, with probability and , respectively, where
is from the closed interval and the average over all equals
\ceil{\Delta}-\Delta. Furthermore, if and is
constant, then each distribution of the left degrees that meets the conditions
above determines the same threshold that has the following
property as goes to infinity: If then there exists a
left-perfect matching with high probability. If then there
exists no left-perfect matching with high probability. The threshold
is the same as the known threshold for offline -ary cuckoo
hashing for integral or non-integral
Critical behaviour and Scaling functions for the three-dimensional O(6) spin model with external field
We numerically investigate the three-dimensional O(6) model on 12^3 to 120^3
lattices. From Binder's cumulant at vanishing magnetic field we obtain the
critical coupling J_c=1.42865(5) and verify this value with the \chi^2-method.
The universal value of Binder's cumulant at this point is
g_r(J_c)=-1.94456(10). At the critical coupling we find the critical exponents
\nu=0.818(5), \beta=0.425(2) and \gamma=1.604(6) from a finite size scaling
analysis. We also determine the finite-size-scaling function on the critical
line and the equation of state. Our O(6)-result for the equation of state is
compared to the Ising, O(2) and O(4) results.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, To appear in the proceedings of Workshop on

The Nonabelian Screening Potential Beyond the Leading Order
The nonabelian screening potential is calculated in the temporal axial gauge.
The Slavnov-Taylor identity is used to construct the three-gluon vertex
function from the inverse gluon propagator. After solving the Schwinger - Dyson
equation beyond leading order we find that the obtained momentum dependence of
the gluon self-energy at high temperature does not correspond to an attractive
QCD - Debye potential, but instead it is repulsive and power behaved () at large distance.Comment: 10 pages, LATEX, ( 1 figure not included), BI-TP 94/0
Gesamtwirtschaftliche und unternehmerische Anpassungsprozesse in Ostdeutschland: Dritter Bericht
Das Deutsche Institut fĂŒr Wirtschaftsforschung, Berlin, und das Institut fĂŒr Weltwirtschaft, Kiel, arbeiten gemeinsam an einem Forschungsauftrag mit dem Titel "Gesamtwirtschaftliche und unternehmerische Anpassungsprozesse in Ostdeutschland". Dabei soll dem Bundesminister fĂŒr Wirtschaft im Rahmen der Vereinbarungen in etwa vierteljĂ€hrlicher Folge berichtet werden. Die Institute legen hiermit ihren dritten Bericht vor. Wegen der schlechten Datenlage bereitet das Forschungsprojekt weiterhin groĂe Schwierigkeiten. Das statistische Berichtssystem in Ostdeutschland befindet sich noch in der Umstellungsphase. Die Institute mĂŒssen deshalb versuchen, die LĂŒcken auf unkonventionelle Weise zu schlieĂen. Das geschieht vor allem durch mĂŒndliche und schriftliche Befragungen von ost- und westdeutschen Unternehmen, WirtschaftsverbĂ€nden, staatlichen Stellen und gesellschaftlichen Organisationen sowie durch Auswertung der Fach- und Tagespresse. Der Bericht konzentriert sich auf eine Situationsanalyse der ostdeutschen Wirtschaft in folgenden Bereichen: Industrie, Baugewerbe, Dienstleistungsunternehmen und öffentliche Verwaltung. DarĂŒber hinaus werden folgende Spezialthemen behandelt: Situation der ausgegliederten Forschungsunternehmen; ExistenzgrĂŒndungen im Dienstleistungssektor, Engagement westdeutscher Unternehmen im Einzelhandel der neuen BundeslĂ€nder; Situation der Konsumgenossenschaften in den neuen BundeslĂ€ndern. Ăber die Lage der ostdeutschen Landwirtschaft ist vor kurzem in einer Schwerpunktstudie ausfĂŒhrlich berichtet worden. Die Institute legen, wie schon in den ersten beiden Berichten, Ergebnisse einer Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnung fĂŒr Ostdeutschland vor. Obwohl sich das Rechenwerk inzwischen auf erste Angaben des Statistischen Bundesamtes fĂŒr das 2. Halbjahr 1990 stĂŒtzen kann, ist seine Datenbasis noch recht schmal. Die in Tabelle 1 ausgewiesenen Zahlen sind als GröĂenordnungen zu verstehen. Bei der Arbeit an dem Bericht haben das Deutsche Institut fĂŒr Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW), Berlin, und das Institut fĂŒr Weltwirtschaft (IfW), Kiel, mit anderen Instituten zusammengearbeitet, die in das Forschungsprojekt eingebunden sind. Es sind dies: Die Bauakademie Berlin, die Forschungsstelle fĂŒr den Handel (FfH), Berlin, das Institut fĂŒr Angewandte Wirtschaftsforschung (IAW), Berlin, und das Institut fĂŒr Systemtechnik und Innovationsforschung (ISI), Karlsruhe
