Growing pseudo-eigenmodes and positive logarithmic norms in rotating shear flows
Rotating shear flows, when angular momentum increases and angular velocity
decreases as functions of radiation coordinate, are hydrodynamically stable
under linear perturbation. The Keplerian flow is an example of such systems
which appears in astrophysical context. Although decaying eigenmodes exhibit
large transient energy growth of perturbation which could govern nonlinearity
into the system, the feedback of inherent instability to generate turbulence
seems questionable. We show that such systems exhibiting growing
pseudo-eigenmodes easily reach an upper bound of growth rate in terms of the
logarithmic norm of the involved nonnormal operators, thus exhibiting feedback
of inherent instability. This supports the existence of turbulence of
hydrodynamic origin in the Keplerian accretion disc in astrophysics. Hence,
this enlightens the mismatch between the linear theory and
experimental/observed data and helps in resolving the outstanding question of
origin of turbulence therein.Comment: 12 pages including 4 figures; to appear in New Journal of Physic
Neutrino-Antineutrino Asymmetry around Rotating Black Holes
Propagation of fermion in curved space-time generates gravitational
interaction due to the coupling between spin of the fermion and space-time
curvature. This gravitational interaction, which is an axial-vector appears as
CPT violating term in the Lagrangian. It is seen that this space-time
interaction can generate neutrino asymmetry in Universe. If the back-ground
metric is spherically asymmetric, say, of a rotating black hole, this
interaction is non-zero, thus the net difference to the number density of the
neutrino and anti-neutrino is nonzero.Comment: 3 pages, pramana style; to appear in a special issue of Pramana -- J.

Theory of Bank Lending with Monitoring and Application to Rural Banking in India 2002-2003
We present a model in Costly State Verification framework that relates capital raised in a firm to profitability. We explain how optimality of investment is affected by how the aggregate funding affects the expected outcomes of the project. Although we find underinvestment, the problem does not get severe with increasing dead weight costs.Strategic default, Underinvestment, CSV
Dynamics of electromagnetic waves in Kerr geometry
Here we are interested to study the spin-1 particle i.e., electro-magnetic
wave in curved space-time, say around black hole. After separating the
equations into radial and angular parts, writing them according to the black
hole geometry, say, Kerr black hole we solve them analytically. Finally we
produce complete solution of the spin-1 particles around a rotating black hole
namely in Kerr geometry. Obviously there is coupling between spin of the
electro-magnetic wave and that of black hole when particles propagate in that
space-time. So the solution will be depending on that coupling strength. This
solution may be useful to study different other problems where the analytical
results are needed. Also the results may be useful in some astrophysical
contexts.Comment: 15 Latex pages, 4 Figures; Accepted for publication in Classical and

Particle-Hole Symmetry and the Bose Glass to Superfluid Transition
The generic Hamiltonian describing the zero temperature transition between the insulating Bose glass phase and the superfluid phase lacks particle-hole symmetry, but a statistical version of this symmetry is believed to be restored at the critical point. We show that the renormalization group relevance of particle-hole asymmetry may be explored in a controlled fashion only for small time dimensions, ετ≪1, where we find a stable particle-hole asymmetric and an unstable particle-hole symmetric fixed point, but we provide evidence that the two merge for some finite ετ≈2/3, which tends to confirm symmetry restoration at the physical ετ = 1
Dynamical supersymmetry analysis of conformal invariance for superstrings in type IIB R-R plane-wave
In a previous work (arXiv:0902.3750 [hep-th]) we studied the world-sheet
conformal invariance for superstrings in type IIB R-R plane-wave in
semi-light-cone gauge. Here we give further justification to the results found
in that work through alternative arguments using dynamical supersymmetries. We
show that by using the susy algebra the same quantum definition of the
energy-momentum (EM) tensor can be derived. Furthermore, using certain Jacobi
identities we indirectly compute the Virasoro anomaly terms by calculating
second order susy variation of the EM tensor. Certain integrated form of all
such terms are shown to vanish. In order to deal with various divergences that
appear in such computations we take a point-split definition of the same EM
tensor. The final results are shown not to suffer from the ordering ambiguity
as noticed in the previous work provided the coincidence limit is taken before
sending the regularization parameter to zero at the end of the computation.Comment: 18 pages, Appendix B replaced by shorter argument in text (section
