Virtual Compton Scattering from the Proton and the Properties of Nucleon Excited States
We calculate the contributions to the generalized polarizabilities of
the proton in virtual Compton scattering. The following nucleon excitations are
included: , , , , ,
and . The relationship between nucleon
structure parameters, properties and the generalized polarizabilities of
the proton is illustrated.Comment: 13 pages of text (Latex) plus 4 figures (as uuencoded Z-compressed

Ground state of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates with spin-orbit coupling in a Zeeman field
We systematically investigate the weakly trapped spin-1 Bose-Einstein
condensates with spin-orbit coupling in an external Zeeman field. We find that
the mean-field ground state favors either a magnetized standing wave phase or
plane wave phase when the strength of Zeeman field is below a critical value
related to the strength of spin-orbit coupling. Zeeman field can induce the
phase transition between standing wave and plane wave phases, and we determine
the phase boundary analytically and numerically. The magnetization of these two
phases responds to the external magnetic field in a very unique manner, the
linear Zeeman effect magnetizes the standing wave phase along the direction of
the magnetic field, but the quadratic one demagnetizes the plane wave phase.
When the strength of Zeeman field surpasses the critical value, the system is
completely polarized to a ferromagnetic state or polar state with zero
momentum
Bihamiltonian Cohomologies and Integrable Hierarchies I: A Special Case
We present some general results on properties of the bihamiltonian
cohomologies associated to bihamiltonian structures of hydrodynamic type, and
compute the third cohomology for the bihamiltonian structure of the
dispersionless KdV hierarchy. The result of the computation enables us to prove
the existence of bihamiltonian deformations of the dispersionless KdV hierarchy
starting from any of its infinitesimal deformations.Comment: 43 pages. V2: the accepted version, to appear in Comm. Math. Phy
Low-noise top-gate graphene transistors
We report results of experimental investigation of the low-frequency noise in
the top-gate graphene transistors. The back-gate graphene devices were modified
via addition of the top gate separated by 20 nm of HfO2 from the single-layer
graphene channels. The measurements revealed low flicker noise levels with the
normalized noise spectral density close to 1/f (f is the frequency) and Hooge
parameter below 2 x 10^-3. The analysis of the noise spectral density
dependence on the top and bottom gate biases helped us to elucidate the noise
sources in these devices and develop a strategy for the electronic noise
reduction. The obtained results are important for all proposed graphene
applications in electronics and sensors.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
Supersymmetric Harry Dym Type Equations
A supersymmetric version is proposed for the well known Harry Dym system. A
general class super Lax operator which leads to consistent equations is
considered.Comment: 4 pages, latex, no figure
Institutions and corporate investment: Evidence from investment-implied return on capital in China
We assess the impact of institutions on Chinese firms' corporate investment in an investment Euler equation framework. We allow the variables measuring institutions to affect the rate at which firm managers discount future investment payoffs. Applying generalized method of moments estimators to large samples of Chinese firms, we estimate the stochastic discount rates derived from actual investment and examine how they vary across institutional variables. We document robust evidence that ownership is the primary institutional factor affecting corporate investment in China. The derived discount rate for a nonstate firm is approximately 10 percentage points higher than that of an otherwise equal state firm. State firms tend to use higher discount rates to invest after they are partially privatized. We also find that firms with higher levels of corporate governance use higher discount rates to make investment. © Copyright Michael G.
