What can break the Wandzura--Wilczek relation?
We analyze the breaking of the Wandzura-Wilczek relation for the g_2
structure function, emphasizing its connection with transverse momentum
dependent parton distribution functions. We find that the relation is broken by
two distinct twist-3 terms, and clarify how these can be separated in
measurements of double-spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic
scattering. Through a quantitative analysis of available g_2 data we also show
that the breaking of the Wandzura-Wilczek relation can be as large as 15-30% of
the size of g_2.Comment: 12 page
Optimal quantum control in nanostructures: Theory and application to generic three-level system
Coherent carrier control in quantum nanostructures is studied within the
framework of Optimal Control. We develop a general solution scheme for the
optimization of an external control (e.g., lasers pulses), which allows to
channel the system's wavefunction between two given states in its most
efficient way; physically motivated constraints, such as limited laser
resources or population suppression of certain states, can be accounted for
through a general cost functional. Using a generic three-level scheme for the
quantum system, we demonstrate the applicability of our approach and identify
the pertinent calculation and convergence parameters.Comment: 7 pages; to appear in Phys. Rev.
Carrier dynamics and infrared-active phonons in c-axis oriented RuSrGdCuO film
The conductivity spectra of c-axis oriented thin RuSrGdCuO film
on SrTiO substrate, prepared by pulsed-laser deposition, are obtained from
the analysis of the reflectivity spectra over broad frequency range and
temperatures between 10 and 300 K. The free charge carriers are found to be
strongly overdamped with their scattering rate (1.0 eV at room temperature)
exceeding the plasma frequency (0.55 eV). Four phonon lines are identified in
the experimental spectra and assigned to the specific oxygen related in-plane
polarized vibrations based on the comparison with the results of a lattice
dynamics shell model calculations.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figure
Hyperfine structure of the ground state muonic He-3 atom
On the basis of the perturbation theory in the fine structure constant
and the ratio of the electron to muon masses we calculate one-loop
vacuum polarization and electron vertex corrections and the nuclear structure
corrections to the hyperfine splitting of the ground state of muonic helium
atom . We obtain total result for the ground state hyperfine
splitting MHz which improves the previous
calculation of Lakdawala and Mohr due to the account of new corrections of
orders and . The remaining difference between our
theoretical result and experimental value of the hyperfine splitting lies in
the range of theoretical and experimental errors and requires the subsequent
investigation of higher order corrections.Comment: Talk on poster section of XXIV spectroscopy congress, 28 February-5

Quantum games of asymmetric information
We investigate quantum games in which the information is asymmetrically
distributed among the players, and find the possibility of the quantum game
outperforming its classical counterpart depends strongly on not only the
entanglement, but also the informational asymmetry. What is more interesting,
when the information distribution is asymmetric, the contradictive impact of
the quantum entanglement on the profits is observed, which is not reported in
quantum games of symmetric information.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Green's function approach to the magnetic properties of the kagome antiferromagnet
The Heisenberg antiferromagnet is studied on the kagom\'e lattice by
using a Green's function method based on an appropriate decoupling of the
equations of motion. Thermodynamic properties as well as spin-spin correlation
functions are obtained and characterize this system as a two-dimensional
quantum spin liquid. Spin-spin correlation functions decay exponentially with
distance down to low temperature and the calculated missing entropy at T=0 is
found to be . Within the present scheme, the specific heat exhibits
a single peak structure and a dependence at low temperature.Comment: 6 (two-column revtex4) pages, 5 ps figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev.
Equivalence of the Calogero-Sutherland Model to Free Harmonic Oscillators
A similarity transformation is constructed through which a system of
particles interacting with inverse-square two-body and harmonic potentials in
one dimension, can be mapped identically, to a set of free harmonic
oscillators. This equivalence provides a straightforward method to find the
complete set of eigenfunctions, the exact constants of motion and a linear
algebra associated with this model. It is also demonstrated that
a large class of models with long-range interactions, both in one and higher
dimensions can be made equivalent to decoupled oscillators.Comment: 9 pages, REVTeX, Completely revised, few new equations and references

The Spectrum of the Dirac Operator on Coset Spaces with Homogeneous Gauge Fields
The spectrum and degeneracies of the Dirac operator are analysed on compact
coset spaces when there is a non-zero homogeneous background gauge field which
is compatible with the symmetries of the space, in particular when the gauge
field is derived from the spin-connection. It is shown how the degeneracy of
the lowest Landau level in the recently proposed higher dimensional quantum
Hall effect is related to the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for the Dirac
operator on a compact coset space.Comment: 25 pages, typeset in LaTeX, uses youngtab.st
