Wilsonian effective action for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with Cho-Faddeev-Niemi-Shabanov decomposition
The Cho-Faddeev-Niemi-Shabanov decomposition of the SU(2) Yang-Mills field is
employed for the calculation of the corresponding Wilsonian effective action to
one-loop order with covariant gauge fixing. The generation of a mass scale is
observed, and the flow of the marginal couplings is studied. Our results
indicate that higher-derivative terms of the color-unit-vector
field are necessary for the description of topologically stable knotlike
solitons which have been conjectured to be the large-distance degrees of
freedom.Comment: 15 pages, no figures, v2: minor improvements, one reference added,

The value of extended amygdala structures in emotive effects of narcogenic with diverse chemical structure
To clarify the value of the extended amygdala structures (bed nucleus, central nucleus of the amygdala and nucleus accumbens shell) in the mechanisms of unconditioned and conditioned reinforcement activated by various narcogenic, this paper carried out a neuropharmacological analysis of these effects, using blockade of dopamine receptors, GABA, opioids and CRF receptors within these brain structures, as well as an analysis of behavioral responses by self-stimulation (unconditioned reinforcement) and conditioned place preference (CPP) (conditioned reinforcement
Linearized Quantum Gravity Using the Projection Operator Formalism
The theory of canonical linearized gravity is quantized using the Projection
Operator formalism, in which no gauge or coordinate choices are made. The ADM
Hamiltonian is used and the canonical variables and constraints are expanded
around a flat background. As a result of the coordinate independence and linear
truncation of the perturbation series, the constraint algebra surprisingly
becomes partially second-class in both the classical and quantum pictures after
all secondary constraints are considered. While new features emerge in the
constraint structure, the end result is the same as previously reported: the
(separable) physical Hilbert space still only depends on the
transverse-traceless degrees of freedom.Comment: 30 pages, no figures, enlarged and corrected versio

Physical interpretation of the correlation between multi-angle spectral data and canopy height
Recent empirical studies have shown that multi-angle spectral data can be useful for predicting canopy height, but the physical reason for this correlation was not understood. We follow the concept of canopy spectral invariants, specifically escape probability, to gain insight into the observed correlation. Airborne Multi-Angle Imaging Spectrometer (AirMISR) and airborne Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor (LVIS) data acquired during a NASA Terrestrial Ecology Program aircraft campaign underlie our analysis. Two multivariate linear regression models were developed to estimate LVIS height measures from 28 AirMISR multi-angle spectral reflectances and from the spectrally invariant escape probability at 7 AirMISR view angles. Both models achieved nearly the same accuracy, suggesting that canopy spectral invariant theory can explain the observed correlation. We hypothesize that the escape probability is sensitive to the aspect ratio (crown diameter to crown height). The multi-angle spectral data alone therefore may not provide enough information to retrieve canopy height globally
Weyl group, CP and the kink-like field configurations in the effective SU(3) gauge theory
Effective Lagrangian for pure Yang-Mills gauge fields invariant under the
standard space-time and local gauge SU(3) transformations is considered. It is
demonstrated that a set of twelve degenerated minima exists as soon as a
nonzero gluon condensate is postulated. The minima are connected to each other
by the parity transformations and Weyl group transformations associated with
the color su(3) algebra. The presence of degenerated discrete minima in the
effective potential leads to the solutions of the effective Euclidean equations
of motion in the form of the kink-like gauge field configurations interpolating
between different minima. Spectrum of charged scalar field in the kink
background is discussed.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, added references for sections 1 and
Compact lattice formulation of Cho-Faddeev-Niemi decomposition: string tension from magnetic monopoles
In this paper we begin on a new lattice formulation of the non-linear change
of variables called the Cho--Faddeev--Niemi decomposition in SU(2) Yang-Mills
theory. This is a compact lattice formulation improving the non-compact lattice
formulation proposed in our previous paper. Based on this formulation, we
propose a new gauge-invariant definition of the magnetic monopole current which
guarantees the magnetic charge quantization and reproduces the conventional
magnetic-current density obtained in the Abelian projection based on the
DeGrand--Toussaint method. Finally, we demonstrate the magnetic monopole
dominance in the string tension in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory on a lattice. Our
formulation enables one to reproduce in the gauge-invariant way remarkable
results obtained so far only in the Maximally Abelian gauge.Comment: 14 pages, v2: minor corrections; v3: explanations added and improve
