Unitary Dual of GL_n at archimedean places and global Jacquet-Langlands correspondence

In [7], results about the global Jacquet-Langlands correspondence, (weak and strong) multiplicity-one theorems and the classification of automorphic representations for inner forms of the general linear group over a number field are established, under the condition that the local inner forms are split at archimedean places. In this paper, we extend the main local results of [7] to archimedean places so that this assumption can be removed. Along the way, we collect several results about the unitary dual of general linear groups over \bbR, \bbC or \bbH of independent interest

Spin dynamics of hole doped Y2BaNiO5

Starting from a multiband Hamiltonian containing the relevant Ni and O orbitals, we derive an effective Hamiltonian $H_{eff}$ for the low energy physics of doped Y$_{2}$BaNiO$_{5}.$ For hole doping, $H_{eff}$ describes O fermions interacting with S=1 Ni spins in a chain, and cannot be further reduced to a simple one-band model. Using numerical techniques, we obtain a dynamical spin structure factor with weight inside the Haldane gap. The nature of these low-energy excitations is identified and the emerging physical picture is consistent with most of the experimental information in Y% $_{2-x}$Ca$_{x}$BaNiO$_{5}$Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

Complete electroweak one loop contributions to the pair production cross section of MSSM charged and neutral Higgs bosons in e+e- collisions

In this paper, we review the production cross section for charged and neutral Higgs bosons pairs in $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions beyond the tree level, in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). A complete list of formulas for all electroweak contributions at the one loop level is given. A numerical code has been developed in order to compute them accurately and, in turn, to compare the MSSM Higgs bosons pair production cross sections at tree level and at the one loop level.Comment: 58 pages, 3 eps figure

Searches for Clean Anomalous Gauge Couplings effects at present and future e+e−e^+e^- colliders

We consider the virtual effects of a general type of Anomalous (triple) Gauge Couplings on various experimental observables in the process of electron-positron annihilation into a final fermion-antifermion state. We show that the use of a recently proposed "$Z$-peak subtracted" theoretical description of the process allows to reduce substantially the number of relevant parameters of the model, so that a calculation of observability limits can be performed in a rather simple way. As an illustration of our approach, we discuss the cases of future measurements at LEP2 and at a new 500 GeV linear collider.Comment: 23 pages incl. 5 figures (e-mail [email protected]

Real-Time Imaging of K atoms on Graphite: Interactions and Diffusion

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at liquid helium temperature is used to image potassium adsorbed on graphite at low coverage (~0.02 monolayer). Single atoms appear as protrusions on STM topographs. A statistical analysis of the position of the atoms demonstrates repulsion between adsorbates, which is quantified by comparison with molecular dynamics simulations. This gives access to the dipole moment of a single adsorbate, found to be 10.5 Debye. Time lapse imaging shows that long range order is broken by thermally activated diffusion, with a 32 meV barrier to hopping between graphite lattice sites

Longitudinal Polarization at future e+e−e^+e^- Colliders and Virtual New Physics Effects

The theoretical merits of longitudinal polarization asymmetries of electron-positron annihilation into two final fermions at future colliders are examined, using a recently proposed theoretical description. A number of interesting features, valid for searches of virtual effects of new physics, is underlined, that is reminiscent of analogous properties valid on top of $Z$ resonance. As an application to a concrete example, we consider the case of a model with triple anomalous gauge couplings and show that the additional information provided by these asymmetries would lead to a drastic reduction of the allowed domain of the relevant parameters.Comment: 18 pages and 1 figure. e-mail: [email protected]

The roughness of stylolites: Implications of 3D high resolution topography measurements

Stylolites are natural pressure-dissolution surfaces in sedimentary rocks. We present 3D high resolution measurements at laboratory scales of their complex roughness. The topography is shown to be described by a self-affine scaling invariance. At large scales, the Hurst exponent is $\zeta_1 \approx 0.5$ and very different from that at small scales where $\zeta_2 \approx 1.2$. A cross-over length scale at around \L_c =1~mm is well characterized. Measurements are consistent with a Langevin equation that describes the growth of a stylolitic interface as a competition between stabilizing long range elastic interactions at large scales or local surface tension effects at small scales and a destabilizing quenched material disorder.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
