Distribution function of persistent current

We introduce a variant of the replica trick within the nonlinear sigma model that allows calculating the distribution function of the persistent current. In the diffusive regime, a Gaussian distribution is derived. This result holds in the presence of local interactions as well. Breakdown of the Gaussian statistics is predicted for the tails of the distribution function at large deviations

Differential identities for parametric correlation functions in disordered systems

Copyright © 2008 The American Physical Society.We derive a family of differential identities for parametric correlation functions in disordered systems by casting them as first- or second-order Ward identities of an associated matrix model. We show that this approach allows for a systematic classification of such identities, and provides a template for deriving higher-order results. We also reestablish and generalize some identities of this type which had been derived previously using a different method

Hall Voltage Fluctuations as a Diagnostic of Internal Magnetic Field Fluctuations in High Temperature Superconductors and the Half-filled Landau Level

Fluctuations of the Hall voltage reveal information about long wavelength magnetic field fluctuations. If gauge theories of strongly correlated electrons are correct, such fluctuations are particularly large in the half-filled Landau level and in high $T_c$ superconductors. We present estimates for the magnitude, system size and frequency dependence of these fluctuations. The frequency dependence contains information about instantons in the gauge field.Comment: 4 pages, LATEX file and 1 PostScript figur

Comment on "Remark on the external-field method in QCD sum rules"

It is proved, that suggested by Jin modified formalism in the external-field method in QCD sum rules exactly coincides with the formalism used before. Therefore, unlike the claims of ref.1, this formalism cannot improve the predictability and reliability of external-field sum rule calculations in comparison with those, done by the standard approach.

Quark distributions in QCD sum rules: unexpected features and paradoxes

Some very unusual features of the hadron structure functions, obtained in the generalized QCD sum rules, like the surprisingly strong difference between longitudinally and transversally polarized $\rho$ mesons structure functions and the strong suppression of the gluon sea in longitudinally polarized $\rho$ mesons are discussed. Also the problem of exact zero contribution of gluon condensates to pion and longitudinally polarized $\rho$ meson quark distributions is discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 5 fig

Localization and critical diffusion of quantum dipoles in two dimensions

We discuss quantum propagation of dipole excitations in two dimensions. This problem differs from the conventional Anderson localization due to existence of long range hops. We found that the critical wavefunctions of the dipoles always exist which manifest themselves by a scale independent diffusion constant. If the system is T-invariant the states are critical for all values of the parameters. Otherwise, there can be a "metal-insulator" transition between this "ordinary" diffusion and the Levy-flights (the diffusion constant logarithmically increasing with the scale). These results follow from the two-loop analysis of the modified non-linear supermatrix $\sigma$-model.Comment: 4.2 page

Diamagnetic response of Aharonov-Bohm rings: Impurity backward scatterings

We report a theoretical calculation on the persistent currents of disordered normal-metal rings. It is shown that the diamagnetic responses of the rings in the vicinity of the zero magnetic field are attributed to multiple backward scatterings off the impurities. We observe the transition from the paramagnetic response to the diamagnetic one as the strength of disorder grows using both the analytic calculation and the numerical exact diagonalization.Comment: final versio

Integrals of motion of classical lattice sine-Gordon system

We compute the local integrals of motions of the classical limit of the lattice sine-Gordon system, using a geometrical interpretation of the local sine-Gordon variables. Using an analogous description of the screened local variables, we show that these integrals are in involution. We present some remarks on relations with the situation at roots of 1 and results on another latticisation (linked to the principal subalgebra of $\widehat{s\ell}_{2}$ rather than the homogeneous one). Finally, we analyse a module of ``screened semilocal variables'', on which the whole $\widehat{s\ell}_{2}$ acts.Comment: (references added
