Inconsistency of Naive Dimensional Regularizations and Quantum Correction to Non-Abelian Chern-Simons-Matter Theory Revisited
We find the inconsistency of dimensional reduction and naive dimensional
regularization in their applications to Chern-Simons type gauge theories.
Further we adopt a consistent dimensional regularization to investigate the
quantum correction to non-Abelian Chern-Simons term coupled with fermionic
matter. Contrary to previous results, we find that not only the Chern-Simons
coefficient receives quantum correction from spinor fields, but the spinor
field also gets a finite quantum correction.Comment: 19 pages, RevTex, Feynman diagrams drawn by FEYNMAN routin
Suppression of the superconducting energy gap in intrinsic Josephson junctions of single crystals
We have observed back-bending structures at high bias current in the
current-voltage curves of intrinsic Josephson junctions. These structures may
be caused by nonequilibrium quasiparticle injection and/or Joule heating. The
energy gap suppression varies considerably with temperature. Different levels
of the suppression are observed when the same level of current passes through
top electrodes of different sizes. Another effect which is seen and discussed,
is a super-current ``reentrance'' of a single intrinsic Josephson junction with
high bias current.Comment: accepted by Supercond. Sci. and Tech., 200
Magneto-Infrared Spectroscopic Study of Ultrathin BiTe Single Crystals
Ultrathin BiTe single crystals laid on Scotch tape are
investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy at K and in a
magnetic field up to T. The magneto-transmittance spectra of the Bi%
Te/tape composite are analyzed as a two-layer system and the optical
conductivity of BiTe at different magnetic fields are extracted. We
find that magnetic field modifies the optical conductivity in the following
ways: (1) Field-induced transfer of the optical weight from the lower frequency
regime (cm) to the higher frequency regime (cm) due
to the redistribution of charge carriers across the Fermi surface. (2) Evolving
of a Fano-resonance-like spectral feature from an anti-resonance to a resonance
with increasing magnetic field. Such behavior can be attributed to the
electron-phonon interactions between the optical phonon mode and
the continuum of electronic transitions. (3) Cyclotron resonance resulting from
the inter-valence band Landau level transitions, which can be described by the
electrodynamics of massive Dirac holes
Identical Bands in Superdeformed Nuclei: A Relativistic Description
Relativistic Mean Field Theory in the rotating frame is used to describe
superdeformed nuclei. Nuclear currents and the resulting spatial components of
the vector meson fields are fully taken into account. Identical bands in
neighboring Rare Earth nuclei are investigated and excellent agreement with
recent experimental data is observed.Comment: 11 pages (Latex) and 4 figures (available upon request)

Gauge-invariant Green function in 3+1 dimensional QED (QCD) and 2+1 dimensional Abelian (Non-Abelian) Chern-Simon theory
By applying the simple and effective method developed to study the the
gauge-invariant fermion Green function in dimensional non-compact QED,
we study the gauge-invariant Green function in dimensional QED and dimensional non-compact Chern-Simon theory. We also extend our results to
the corresponding non-Abelian gauge theories. Implications for
Fractional Quantum Hall effect are briefly discussed.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, published versio
Warped compactification on curved manifolds
The characterization of a six- (or seven)-dimensional internal manifold with
metric as having positive, zero or negative curvature is expected to be an
important aspect of warped compactifications in supergravity. In this context,
Douglas and Kallosh recently pointed out that a compact internal space with
negative curvature could help to construct four-dimensional de Sitter solutions
only if the extra dimensions are strongly warped or there are large stringy
corrections. That is, the problem of finding 4-dimensional de Sitter solutions
is well posed, if all extra dimensions are physically compact, which is called
a no-go theorem. Here, we show that the above conclusion does not extend to a
general class of warped compactifications in classical supergravity that allow
a non-compact direction or cosmological solutions for which the internal space
is asymptotic to a cone over a product of compact Einstein spaces or spheres.
For clarity, we present classical solutions that compactify higher-dimensional
spacetime to produce a Robertson--Walker universe with de Sitter-type expansion
plus one extra non-compact direction. Such models are found to admit both an
effective four-dimensional Newton constant that remains finite and a
normalizable zero-mode graviton wavefunction. We also exhibit the possibility
of obtaining 4D de Sitter solutions by including the effect of fluxes (p-form
field strengths).Comment: 24 pages, 1 figure; v5 significant changes in the presentation,
