Fundamental groups of toroidal compactifications
We compute the fundamental group of a toroidal compactification of a
Hermitian locally symmetric space , without assuming either that
is neat or that it is arithmetic. We also give bounds for the first
Betti number.Comment: Final version. Fixes error pointed out by M. Roessler, leading to
slightly but significantly changed statements: improved notatio
Ring Wormholes in D-Dimensional Einstein and Dilaton Gravity
On the basis of exact solutions to the Einstein-Abelian gauge-dilaton
equations in -dimensional gravity, the properties of static axial
configurations are discussed. Solutions free of curvature singularities are
selected; they can be attributed to traversible wormholes with cosmic
string-like singularities at their necks. In the presence of an electromagnetic
field some of these wormholes are globally regular, the string-like singularity
being replaced by a set of twofold branching points. Consequences of wormhole
regularity and symmetry conditions are discussed. In particular, it is shown
that (i) regular, symmetric wormholes have necessarily positive masses as
viewed from both asymptotics and (ii) their characteristic length scale in the
big charge limit () is of the order of the ``classical radius"
.Comment: Latex file, 15 page
Role of the target orientation angle and orbital angular momentum in the evaporation residue production
The influence of the orientation angles of the target nucleus symmetry axis
relative to the beam direction on the production of the evaporation residues is
investigated for the Ca+Sm reaction as a function of the beam
energy. At low energies (137 MeV), the yield of evaporation
residues is observed only for collisions with small orientation angles
().
At large energies (about 140--180 MeV) all the orientation
angles can contribute to the evaporation residue cross section
in the 10--100 mb range, and at 180 MeV
ranges around 0.1--10 mb because the fission barrier for a compound nucleus
decreases by increasing its excitation energy and angular momentum.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, submitted to JPS
Competition of Color Ferromagnetic and Superconductive States in a Quark-Gluon System
The possibility of color ferromagnetism in an SU(2) gauge field model is
investigated. The conditions allowing a stable color ferromagnetic state of the
quark system in the chromomagnetic field occupying small domains are
considered. A phase transition between this state and the color superconducting
state is considered. The effect of finite temperature is analyzed.Comment: 21 pages, 4 Postscript figure
Periodic Orbits and Deformed Shell Structure
Relationship between quantum shell structure and classical periodic orbits is
briefly reviewed on the basis of semi-classical trace formula. Using the
spheroidal cavity model, it is shown that three-dimensional periodic orbits,
which are born out of bifurcation of planar orbits at large prolate
deformations, generate the superdeformed shell structure.Comment: 8 pages including 8 figures, Talk at the Conference on Frontiers of
