Renormalization and Essential Singularity
In usual dimensional counting, momentum has dimension one. But a function
f(x), when differentiated n times, does not always behave like one with its
power smaller by n. This inevitable uncertainty may be essential in general
theory of renormalization, including quantum gravity. As an example, we
classify possible singularities of a potential for the Schr\"{o}dinger
equation, assuming that the potential V has at least one class eigen
function. The result crucially depends on the analytic property of the eigen
function near its 0 point.Comment: 12 pages, no figures, PTPTeX with amsfonts. 2 pages added for detail
The universal order one invariant of framed knots in most S^1-bundles over orientable surfaces
It is well-known that self-linking is the only Z valued Vassiliev invariant
of framed knots in S^3. However for most 3-manifolds, in particular for the
total spaces of S^1-bundles over an orientable surface F not S^2, the space of
Z-valued order one invariants is infinite dimensional. We give an explicit
formula for the order one invariant I of framed knots in orientable total
spaces of S^1-bundles over an orientable not necessarily compact surface F not
S^2. We show that if F is not S^2 or S^1 X S^1, then I is the universal order
one invariant, i.e. it distinguishes every two framed knots that can be
distinguished by order one invariants with values in an Abelian group.Comment: Published by Algebraic and Geometric Topology at

Liouville theory and uniformization of four-punctured sphere
Few years ago Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov proposed an expression for the
4-point classical Liouville action in terms of the 3-point actions and the
classical conformal block. In this paper we develop a method of calculating the
uniformizing map and the uniformizing group from the classical Liouville action
on n-punctured sphere and discuss the consequences of Zamolodchikovs conjecture
for an explicit construction of the uniformizing map and the uniformizing group
for the sphere with four punctures.Comment: 17 pages, no figure
Some Applications of the Lee-Yang Theorem
For lattice systems of statistical mechanics satisfying a Lee-Yang property
(i.e., for which the Lee-Yang circle theorem holds), we present a simple proof
of analyticity of (connected) correlations as functions of an external magnetic
field h, for Re h > 0 or Re h < 0. A survey of models known to have the
Lee-Yang property is given. We conclude by describing various applications of
the aforementioned analyticity in h.Comment: 16 page
Incommensurability and edge states in the one-dimensional S=1 bilinear-biquadratic model
Commensurate-incommensurate change on the one-dimensional S=1
bilinear-biquadratic model () is examined. The gapped
Haldane phase has two subphases (the commensurate Haldane subphase and the
incommensurate Haldane subphase) and the commensurate-incommensurate change
point (the Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki point, ). There have been
two different analytical predictions about the static structure factor in the
neighborhood of this point. By using the S{\o}rensen-Affleck prescription,
these static structure factors are related to the Green functions, and also to
the energy gap behaviors. Numerical calculations support one of the
predictions. Accordingly, the commensurate-incommensurate change is recognized
as a motion of a pair of poles in the complex plane.Comment: 29 pages, 15 figure
Manipulation of Semiclassical Photon States
Gabriel F. Calvo and Antonio Picon defined a class of operators, for use in
quantum communication, that allows arbitrary manipulations of the three lowest
two-dimensional Hermite-Gaussian modes {|0,0>,|1,0>,|0,1>}. Our paper continues
the study of those operators, and our results fall into two categories. For
one, we show that the generators of the operators have infinite deficiency
indices, and we explicitly describe all self-adjoint realizations. And secondly
we investigate semiclassical approximations of the propagators. The basic
method is to start from a semiclassical Fourier integral operator ansatz and
then construct approximate solutions of the corresponding evolution equations.
In doing so, we give a complete description of the Hamilton flow, which in most
cases is given by elliptic functions. We find that the semiclassical
approximation behaves well when acting on sufficiently localized initial
conditions, for example, finite sums of semiclassical Hermite-Gaussian modes,
since near the origin the Hamilton trajectories trace out the bounded
components of elliptic curves.Comment: 30 pages, 3 figures. Small corrections, mostly in Section V. To

Constraints on the form factors for K --> pi l nu and implications for V_us
Rigorous bounds are established for the expansion coefficients governing the
shape of semileptonic K-->pi form factors. The constraints enforced by
experimental data from tau-->K pi nu eliminate uncertainties associated with
model parameterizations in the determination of |V_us|. The results support the
validity of a powerful expansion that can be applied to other semileptonic
transitions.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures; references added, version to appear in Phys. Rev.

Generalized Elliptic Integrals and the Legendre M-function
We study monotonicity and convexity properties of functions arising in the
theory of elliptic integrals, and in particular in the case of a
Schwarz-Christoffel conformal mapping from a half-plane to a trapezoid. We
obtain sharp monotonicity and convexity results for combinations of these
functions, as well as functional inequalities and a linearization property.Comment: 28 page
