Jet color chemistry and anomalous baryon production in -collisions
We study anomalous high- baryon production in -collisions due to
formation of the two parton collinear system in the anti-sextet color
state for quark jets and system in the decuplet/anti-decuplet color states
for gluon jets. Fragmentation of these states, which are absent for
-collisions, after escaping from the quark-gluon plasma leads to baryon
production. Our qualitative estimates show that this mechanism can be
potentially important at RHIC and LHC energies.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures, Eur.Phys.J. versio
Conformal Hamiltonian Dynamics of General Relativity
The General Relativity formulated with the aid of the spin connection
coefficients is considered in the finite space geometry of similarity with the
Dirac scalar dilaton. We show that the redshift evolution of the General
Relativity describes the vacuum creation of the matter in the empty Universe at
the electroweak epoch and the dilaton vacuum energy plays a role of the dark
energy.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figure, submitted to PL
Leading neutron spectra
It is shown that the observation of the spectra of leading neutrons from
proton beams can be a good probe of absorptive and migration effects. We
quantify how these effects modify the Reggeized pion-exchange description of
the measurements of leading neutrons at HERA. We are able to obtain a
satisfactory description of all the features of these data. We also briefly
discuss the corresponding data for leading baryons produced in hadron-hadron
collisions.Comment: 17 pages, 8 figures; sentence and reference added, reference

-Strands
A -strand is a map for a Lie
group that follows from Hamilton's principle for a certain class of
-invariant Lagrangians. The SO(3)-strand is the -strand version of the
rigid body equation and it may be regarded physically as a continuous spin
chain. Here, -strand dynamics for ellipsoidal rotations is derived as
an Euler-Poincar\'e system for a certain class of variations and recast as a
Lie-Poisson system for coadjoint flow with the same Hamiltonian structure as
for a perfect complex fluid. For a special Hamiltonian, the -strand is
mapped into a completely integrable generalization of the classical chiral
model for the SO(3)-strand. Analogous results are obtained for the
-strand. The -strand is the -strand version of the
Bloch-Iserles ordinary differential equation, whose solutions exhibit dynamical
sorting. Numerical solutions show nonlinear interactions of coherent wave-like
solutions in both cases. -strand equations on the
diffeomorphism group are also introduced and shown
to admit solutions with singular support (e.g., peakons).Comment: 35 pages, 5 figures, 3rd version. To appear in J Nonlin Sc

Nuclear Shadowing in DIS: Numerical Solution of the Evolution Equation for the Green Function
Within a light-cone QCD formalism based on the Green function technique
incorporating color transparency and coherence length effects we study nuclear
shadowing in deep-inelastic scattering at moderately small Bjorken x_{Bj}.
Calculations performed so far were based only on approximations leading to an
analytical harmonic oscillatory form of the Green function. We present for the
first time an exact numerical solution of the evolution equation for the Green
function using realistic form of the dipole cross section and nuclear density
function. We compare numerical results for nuclear shadowing with previous
predictions and discuss differences.Comment: 21 pages including 3 figures; a small revision of the tex
Interaction of N solitons in the massive Thirring model and optical gap system: the Complex Toda Chain Model
Using the Karpman-Solov''ev quasiparticle approach for soliton-soliton
interaction I show that the train propagation of N well separated solitons of
the massive Thirring model is described by the complex Toda chain with N nodes.
For the optical gap system a generalised (non-integrable) complex Toda chain is
derived for description of the train propagation of well separated gap
solitons. These results are in favor of the recently proposed conjecture of
universality of the complex Toda chain.Comment: RevTex, 23 pages, no figures. Submitted to Physical Review
Mathematics of Gravitational Lensing: Multiple Imaging and Magnification
The mathematical theory of gravitational lensing has revealed many generic
and global properties. Beginning with multiple imaging, we review
Morse-theoretic image counting formulas and lower bound results, and
complex-algebraic upper bounds in the case of single and multiple lens planes.
We discuss recent advances in the mathematics of stochastic lensing, discussing
a general formula for the global expected number of minimum lensed images as
well as asymptotic formulas for the probability densities of the microlensing
random time delay functions, random lensing maps, and random shear, and an
asymptotic expression for the global expected number of micro-minima. Multiple
imaging in optical geometry and a spacetime setting are treated. We review
global magnification relation results for model-dependent scenarios and cover
recent developments on universal local magnification relations for higher order
caustics.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figures. Invited review submitted for special issue of

Baxterization, dynamical systems, and the symmetries of integrability
We resolve the `baxterization' problem with the help of the automorphism
group of the Yang-Baxter (resp. star-triangle, tetrahedron, \dots) equations.
This infinite group of symmetries is realized as a non-linear (birational)
Coxeter group acting on matrices, and exists as such, {\em beyond the narrow
context of strict integrability}. It yields among other things an unexpected
elliptic parametrization of the non-integrable sixteen-vertex model. It
provides us with a class of discrete dynamical systems, and we address some
related problems, such as characterizing the complexity of iterations.Comment: 25 pages, Latex file (epsf style). WARNING: Postscript figures are
