Self-duality and the Supersymmetric KdV Hierarchy
We show how the supersymmetric KdV equation can be obtained from the
self-duality condition on Yang-Mills fields in four dimension associated with
the graded Lie algebra OSp(2/1). We also obtain the hierarchy of Susy KdV
equations from such a condition. We formulate the Susy KdV hierarchy as a
vanishing curvature condition associated with the U(1) group and show how an
Abelian self-duality condition in four dimension can also lead to these
equations.Comment: 10 page
A Nonstandard Supersymmetric KP Hierarchy
We show that the supersymmetric nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation can be
written as a constrained super KP flow in a nonstandard representation of the
Lax equation. We construct the conserved charges and show that this system
reduces to the super mKdV equation with appropriate identifications. We
construct various flows generated by the general nonstandard super Lax equation
and show that they contain both the KP and mKP flows in the bosonic limits.
This nonstandard supersymmetric KP hierarchy allows us to construct a new super
KP equation which is nonlocal.Comment: 18 pages, plain TeX, UR-1367, ER-40685-81
Coherent Magnetotransport Through an Artificial Molecule
The conductance in an extended multiband Hubbard model describing linear
arrays of up to ten quantum dots is calculated via a Lanczos technique. A
pronounced suppression of certain resonant conductance peaks in an applied
magnetic field due to a density-dependent spin-polarization transition is
predicted to be a clear signature of a coherent ``molecular'' wavefunction in
the array. A many-body enhancement of localization is predicted to give rise to
a {\em giant magnetoconductance} effect in systems with magnetic scattering.Comment: 4 pages, REVTEX 3.0, 5 figures included as postscript file
Self-Duality and the KdV Hierarchy
We derive the entire KdV hierarchy as well as the recursion relations from
the self-duality condition on gauge fields in four dimensions.Comment: 7 page
Exact Effective Action for (1+1 Dimensional) Fermions in an Abelian Background at Finite Temperature
In an effort to further understand the structure of effective actions for
fermions in an external gauge background at finite temperature, we study the
example of 1+1 dimensional fermions interacting with an arbitrary Abelian gauge
field. We evaluate the effective action exactly at finite temperature. This
effective action is non-analytic as is expected at finite temperature. However,
contrary to the structure at zero temperature and contrary to naive
expectations, the effective action at finite temperature has interactions to
all (even) orders (which, however, do not lead to any quantum corrections). The
covariant structure thus obtained may prove useful in studying 2+1 dimensional
models in arbitrary backgrounds. We also comment briefly on the solubility of
various 1+1 dimensional models at finite temperature.Comment: A few clarifying remarks added;21 page
Specific heat at constant volume in the thermodynamic model
A thermodynamic model for multifragmentation which is frequently used appears
to give very different values for specific heat at constant volume depending
upon whether canonical or grand canonical ensemble is used. The cause for this
discrepancy is analysed.Comment: Revtex, 7 pages including 4 figure
