Statistical properties of coherent radiation propagating in a quasi - 1D random media is studied in the framework of random matrix theory. Distribution functions for the total transmission coefficient and the angular transmission coefficient are obtained.Comment: 8 pages, latex, no figures. Submitted to Phys.Rev.

Statistics of speckle patterns

We develop a general method for calculating statistical properties of the speckle pattern of coherent waves propagating in disordered media. In some aspects this method is similar to the Boltzmann-Langevin approach for the calculation of classical fluctuations. We apply the method to the case where the incident wave experiences many small angle scattering events during propagation, but the total angle change remains small. In many aspects our results for this case are different from results previously known in the literature. The correlation function of the wave intensity at two points separated by a distance $r$, has a long range character. It decays as a power of $r$ and changes sign. We also consider sensitivities of the speckles to changes of external parameters, such as the wave frequency and the incidence angle.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

Effect of graded physical load on the state of the liver from morphometric data and biochemical blood indices of rats against a background of hypokinesia

Tests were conducted on 100 sexually immature inbred August and Wistar male rats in order to determine the effects hypokinesia, physical load and phenamine on the liver. Weight and linear dimension fell in hypokinesia; total serum protein lowered and aldolase and cholesterol and beta-lipoprotein levels rose. Blood sugar content rose and liver glycogen fell. Interlinear differences of these indices are found. Rehabilitated physical loading against hypokinesia background diminished and at times completely prevented its negative effect. Extent of correction depended on animal species. Evidence of genotypical conditionality of organism adaptation to physical load in hypokinesia was found

Propagation of coherent waves in elastically scattering media

A general method for calculating statistical properties of speckle patterns of coherent waves propagating in disordered media is developed. It allows one to calculate speckle pattern correlations in space, as well as their sensitivity to external parameters. This method, which is similar to the Boltzmann-Langevin approach for the calculation of classical fluctuations, applies for a wide range of systems: From cases where the ray propagation is diffusive to the regime where the rays experience only small angle scattering. The latter case comprises the regime of directed waves where rays propagate ballistically in space while their directions diffuse. We demonstrate the applicability of the method by calculating the correlation function of the wave intensity and its sensitivity to the wave frequency and the angle of incidence of the incoming wave.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figure

Absence of weak antilocalization in ferromagnetic films

We present magnetoresistance measurements performed on ultrathin films of amorphous Ni and Fe. In these films the Curie temperature drops to zero at small thickness, making it possible to study the effect of ferromagnetism on localization. We find that non-ferromagnetic films are characterized by positive magnetoresistance. This is interpreted as resulting from weak antilocalization due to strong Bychkov-Rashba spin orbit scattering. As the films become ferromagnetic the magnetoresistance changes sign and becomes negative. We analyze our data to identify the individual contributions of weak localization, weak antilocalization and anisotropic magnetoresistance and conclude that the magnetic order suppresses the influence of spin-orbit effects on localization phenomena in agreement with theoretical predictions.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure

Gravitational lensing by gravitational waves

Gravitational lensing by gravitational wave is considered. We notice that although final and initial direction of photons coincide, displacement between final and initial trajectories occurs. This displacement is calculated analytically for the plane gravitational wave pulse. Estimations for observations are discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

Primordial Black Hole: Mass and Angular Momentum Evolution

The evolution of the primordial low mass black hole (PBH) in hot universe is considered. Increase of mass and decrease of PBH spin due to the accretion of radiation dominated matter are estimated with using of results of numerical simulation of PBH formation and approximate relations for accretion to a rotating black hole.Comment: Gravitation and Cosmology, accepted, 3 pages, Talk presented at the russian summer school-seminar "Modern theoretical problems of gravitation and cosmology" (GRACOS-2007), September 9-16, 2007, Kazan-Yalchik, Russi

Nature of 45 degree vortex lattice reorientation in tetragonal superconductors

The transformation of the vortex lattice in a tetragonal superconductor which consists of its 45 degree reorientation relative to the crystal axes is studied using the nonlocal London model. It is shown that the reorientation occurs as two successive second order (continuous) phase transitions. The transition magnetic fields are calculated for a range of parameters relevant for borocarbide superconductors in which the reorientation has been observed

Difficulties in Inducing a Gauge Theory at Large N

It is argued that the recently proposed Kazakov-Migdal model of induced gauge theory, at large $N$, involves only the zero area Wilson loops that are effectively trees in the gauge action induced by the scalars. This retains only a constant part of the gauge action excluding plaquettes or anything like them and the gauge variables drop out.Comment: 6 pages, Latex, AZPH-TH/93-01, COLO-HEP/30

Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-type equations for gauged WZNW models

We study correlation functions of coset constructions by utilizing the method of gauge dressing. As an example we apply this method to the minimal models and to the Witten 2D black hole. We exhibit a striking similarity between the latter and the gravitational dressing. In particular, we look for logarithmic operators in the 2D black hole.Comment: 24 pages, latex, no figures.
