Hamiltonian Reduction and Supersymmetric Toda Models

New formulations of the solutions of N=1 and N=2 super Toda field theory are introduced, using Hamiltonian Reduction of the N=1 and N=2 super WZNW Models to the super Toda Models. These parameterisations are then used to present the Hamiltonian formulations of the super Toda theories on the spaces of solutions.Comment: 15pp., LaTe

Some Recent Results on Pair Correlation Functions and Susceptibilities in Exactly Solvable Models

Using detailed exact results on pair-correlation functions of Z-invariant Ising models, we can write and run algorithms of polynomial complexity to obtain wavevector-dependent susceptibilities for a variety of Ising systems. Reviewing recent work we compare various periodic and quasiperiodic models, where the couplings and/or the lattice may be aperiodic, and where the Ising couplings may be either ferromagnetic, or antiferromagnetic, or of mixed sign. We present some of our results on the square-lattice fully-frustrated Ising model. Finally, we make a few remarks on our recent works on the pentagrid Ising model and on overlapping unit cells in three dimensions and how these works can be utilized once more detailed results for pair correlations in, e.g., the eight-vertex model or the chiral Potts model or even three-dimensional Yang-Baxter integrable models become available.Comment: LaTeX2e using iopart.cls, 10 pages, 5 figures (5 eps files), Dunk Island conference in honor of 60th birthday of A.J.

Covariant Phase Space Formulations of Superparticles and Supersymmetric WZW Models

We present new covariant phase space formulations of superparticles moving on a group manifold, deriving the fundamental Poisson brackets and current algebras. We show how these formulations naturally generalise to the supersymmetric Wess-Zumino-Witten models.Comment: 15pp., LaTe

Critical densities for the Skyrme type effective interactions

We use the stability conditions of the Landau parameters for the symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter to calculate the critical densities for the Skyrme type effective nucleon-nucleon interactions. We find that the critical density can be maximized by adjusting appropriately the values of the enhancement factor $\kappa$ associated with isovector giant dipole resonance, the quantity $L$ which is directly related to the slope of the symmetry energy and the Landau parameter $G_0^\prime$. However, restricting $\kappa$, $L$ and $G_0^\prime$ to vary within acceptable limits reduces the maximum value for the critical density $\tilde\rho_{cr}$ by $\sim 25$. We also show that among the various quantities characterizing the symmetric nuclear matter, $\tilde\rho_{cr}$ depends strongly on the isoscalar effective mass $m^*/m$ and surface energy coefficient $E_s$. For realistic values of $m^*/m$ and $E_s$ we get $\tilde\rho_{cr} = 2\rho_0$ to $3\rho_0$ ($\rho_0 = 0.16$fm$^{-3}$).Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures. Physicsl Review C (in press

Information Content of Equity Analyst Reports

This paper investigates the market reaction to the information released in security analyst reports. It shows that the market reacts significantly and positively to changes in recommendation levels, earnings forecasts, and price targets. While changes in price targets and earnings forecasts both provide information to the market, revisions in price targets have a larger and more significant impact than comparable revisions in earnings forecasts. The text of the report is also a significant source of information as it provides the justifications supporting an analyst's summary opinion. When all of this information is considered simultaneously, some of it, notably the earnings forecasts, is subsumed. The results further show that analysts correctly predict price targets slightly over 50% of the time. Finally, the valuation methodology used does not seem to be correlated with either the market's reaction or the analyst's accuracy.

Vibrational quenching of the electronic ground state in ThO in cold collisions with 3^3He

We measure the ratio $\gamma$ of the momentum-transfer to the vibrational quenching cross section for the X ($^1\Sigma^+$), $\nu=1$, $\mathrm{J=0}$ state of molecular thorium monoxide (ThO) in collisions with atomic $^3$He between 800 mK and 2.4 K. We observe indirect evidence for ThO--He van der Waals' complex formation, which has been predicted by theory. We determine the 3-body recombination rate constant $\Gamma_3$ at 2.4 K, and establish that the binding energy E$_b >$ 4 K

Q-Dependent Susceptibilities in Ferromagnetic Quasiperiodic Z-Invariant Ising Models

We study the q-dependent susceptibility chi(q) of a series of quasiperiodic Ising models on the square lattice. Several different kinds of aperiodic sequences of couplings are studied, including the Fibonacci and silver-mean sequences. Some identities and theorems are generalized and simpler derivations are presented. We find that the q-dependent susceptibilities are periodic, with the commensurate peaks of chi(q) located at the same positions as for the regular Ising models. Hence, incommensurate everywhere-dense peaks can only occur in cases with mixed ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic interactions or if the underlying lattice is aperiodic. For mixed-interaction models the positions of the peaks depend strongly on the aperiodic sequence chosen.Comment: LaTeX2e, 26 pages, 9 figures (27 eps files). v2: Misprints correcte
