Free field representation for the O(3) nonlinear sigma model and bootstrap fusion
The possibility of the application of the free field representation developed
by Lukyanov for massive integrable models is investigated in the context of the
O(3) sigma model. We use the bootstrap fusion procedure to construct a free
field representation for the O(3) Zamolodchikov- Faddeev algebra and to write
down a representation for the solutions of the form-factor equations which is
similar to the ones obtained previously for the sine-Gordon and SU(2) Thirring
models. We discuss also the possibility of developing further this
representation for the O(3) model and comment on the extension to other
integrable field theories.Comment: 14 pages, latex, revtex v3.0 macro package, no figures Accepted for

Form-factors of the sausage model obtained with bootstrap fusion from sine-Gordon theory
We continue the investigation of massive integrable models by means of the
bootstrap fusion procedure, started in our previous work on O(3) nonlinear
sigma model. Using the analogy with SU(2) Thirring model and the O(3) nonlinear
sigma model we prove a similar relation between sine-Gordon theory and a
one-parameter deformation of the O(3) sigma model, the sausage model. This
allows us to write down a free field representation for the
Zamolodchikov-Faddeev algebra of the sausage model and to construct an integral
representation for the generating functions of form-factors in this theory. We
also clear up the origin of the singularities in the bootstrap construction and
the reason for the problem with the kinematical poles.Comment: 16 pages, revtex; references added, some typos corrected. Accepted

Annihilation poles of a Smirnov-type integral formula for solutions to quantum Knizhnik--Zamolodchikov equation
We consider the recently obtained integral representation of quantum
Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation of level 0. We obtain the condition for the
integral kernel such that these solutions satisfy three axioms for form factor
\'{a} la Smirnov. We discuss the relation between this integral representation
and the form factor of XXZ spin chain.Comment: 14 pages, latex, no figures
Predicting scattering properties of ultracold atoms: adiabatic accumulated phase method and mass scaling
Ultracold atoms are increasingly used for high precision experiments that can
be utilized to extract accurate scattering properties. This calls for a
stronger need to improve on the accuracy of interatomic potentials, and in
particular the usually rather inaccurate inner-range potentials. A boundary
condition for this inner range can be conveniently given via the accumulated
phase method. However, in this approach one should satisfy two conditions,
which are in principle conflicting, and the validity of these approximations
comes under stress when higher precision is required. We show that a better
compromise between the two is possible by allowing for an adiabatic change of
the hyperfine mixing of singlet and triplet states for interatomic distances
smaller than the separation radius. A mass scaling approach to relate
accumulated phase parameters in a combined analysis of isotopically related
atom pairs is described in detail and its accuracy is estimated, taking into
account both Born-Oppenheimer and WKB breakdown. We demonstrate how numbers of
singlet and triplet bound states follow from the mass scaling.Comment: 14 pages, 9 figure
Measurement back-action and spin noise spectroscopy in a charged cavity-QED device in the strong coupling regime
We study theoretically the spin-induced and photon-induced fluctuations of
optical signals from a singly-charged quantum dot-microcavity structure. We
identify the respective contributions of the photon-polariton interactions, in
the strong light-matter coupling regime, and of the quantum back-action induced
by photon detection on the spin system. Strong spin projection by a single
photon is shown to be achievable, allowing the initialization and measurement
of a fully-polarized Larmor precession. The spectrum of second-order
correlations is deduced, displaying information on both spin and quantum
dot-cavity dynamics. The presented theory thus bridges the gap between the
fields of spin noise spectroscopy and quantum optics.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure
Dirac equation in the magnetic-solenoid field
We consider the Dirac equation in the magnetic-solenoid field (the field of a
solenoid and a collinear uniform magnetic field). For the case of Aharonov-Bohm
solenoid, we construct self-adjoint extensions of the Dirac Hamiltonian using
von Neumann's theory of deficiency indices. We find self-adjoint extensions of
the Dirac Hamiltonian in both above dimensions and boundary conditions at the
AB solenoid. Besides, for the first time, solutions of the Dirac equation in
the magnetic-solenoid field with a finite radius solenoid were found. We study
the structure of these solutions and their dependence on the behavior of the
magnetic field inside the solenoid. Then we exploit the latter solutions to
specify boundary conditions for the magnetic-solenoid field with Aharonov-Bohm
solenoid.Comment: 23 pages, 2 figures, LaTex fil
