Affine spherical homogeneous spaces with good quotient by a maximal unipotent subgroup
For an affine spherical homogeneous space G/H of a connected semisimple
algebraic group G, we consider the factorization morphism by the action on G/H
of a maximal unipotent subgroup of G. We prove that this morphism is
equidimensional if and only if the weight semigroup of G/H satisfies some
simple condition.Comment: v2: title and abstract changed; v3: 16 pages, minor correction
RadioAstron probes the ultra-fine spatial structure in the HO maser emission in the star forming region W49N
HO maser emission associated with the massive star formation region W49N
were observed with the Space-VLBI mission RadioAstron. The procedure for
processing of the maser spectral line data obtained in the RadioAstron
observations is described. Ultra-fine spatial structures in the maser emission
were detected on space-ground baselines of up to 9.6 Earth diameters. The
correlated flux densities of these features range from 0.1% to 0.6% of the
total flux density. These low values of correlated flux density are probably
due to turbulence either in the maser itself or in the interstellar medium.Comment: Accepted for publication in Advances in Space Researc
Towards proof of new identity for Green functions in N=1 supersymmetric electrodynamics
For the N=1 supersymmetric massless electrodynamics, regularized by higher
derivatives, we describe a method, by which one can try to prove the new
identity for the Green functions, which was proposed earlier. Using this method
we show that some contribution to the new identity are really 0.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figure, an error corrected, significant change

Transcendental numbers and the topology of three-loop bubbles
We present a proof that all transcendental numbers that are needed for the
calculation of the master integrals for three-loop vacuum Feynman diagrams can
be obtained by calculating diagrams with an even simpler topology, the topology
of spectacles.Comment: 4 pages in REVTeX, 1 PostScript figure included, submitted to Phys.

Variational approach for electrolyte solutions: from dielectric interfaces to charged nanopores
A variational theory is developed to study electrolyte solutions, composed of
interacting point-like ions in a solvent, in the presence of dielectric
discontinuities and charges at the boundaries. Three important and non-linear
electrostatic effects induced by these interfaces are taken into account:
surface charge induced electrostatic field, solvation energies due to the ionic
cloud, and image charge repulsion. Our variational equations thus go beyond the
mean-field theory. The influence of salt concentration, ion valency, dielectric
jumps, and surface charge is studied in two geometries. i) A single neutral
air-water interface with an asymmetric electrolyte. A charge separation and
thus an electrostatic field gets established due to the different image charge
repulsions for coions and counterions. Both charge distributions and surface
tension are computed and compared to previous approximate calculations. For
symmetric electrolyte solutions close to a charged surface, two zones are
characterized. In the first one, with size proportional to the logarithm of the
coupling parameter, strong image forces impose a total ion exclusion, while in
the second zone the mean-field approach applies. ii) A symmetric electrolyte
confined between two dielectric interfaces as a simple model of ion rejection
from nanopores. The competition between image charge repulsion and attraction
of counterions by the membrane charge is studied. For small surface charge, the
counterion partition coefficient decreases with increasing pore size up to a
critical pore size, contrary to neutral membranes. For larger pore sizes, the
whole system behaves like a neutral pore. The prediction of the variational
method is also compared with MC simulations and a good agreement is observed.Comment: This version is accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. E
Special case of sunset: reduction and epsilon-expansion
We consider two loop sunset diagrams with two mass scales m and M at the
threshold and pseudotreshold that cannot be treated by earlier published
formula. The complete reduction to master integrals is given. The master
integrals are evaluated as series in ratio m/M and in epsilon with the help of
differential equation method. The rules of asymptotic expansion in the case
when q^2 is at the (pseudo)threshold are given.Comment: LaTeX, 13 pages, 1 figur
