RQM description of PS meson form factors, constraints from space-time translations, and underlying dynamics
The role of Poincar\'e covariant space-time translations is investigated in
the case of the pseudoscalar-meson charge form factors. It is shown that this
role extends beyond the standard energy-momentum conservation, which is
accounted for in all relativistic quantum mechanics calculations. It implies
constraints that have been largely ignored until now but should be fulfilled to
ensure the full Poincar\'e covariance. The violation of these constraints,
which is more or less important depending on the form of relativistic quantum
mechanics that is employed, points to the validity of using a single-particle
current, which is generally assumed in calculations of form factors. In short,
these constraints concern the relation of the momentum transferred to the
constituents to the one transferred to the system. How to account for the
related constraints, as well as restoring the equivalence of different
relativistic quantum mechanics approaches in estimating form factors, is
discussed. Some conclusions relative to the underlying dynamics are given in
the pion case.Comment: 37 pages, 13 figures; figures completed for notations, revised text

Form factors in relativistic quantum mechanics: constraints from space-time translations
The comparison of form factors calculated from a single-particle current in
different relativistic quantum mechanic approaches evidences tremendous
discrepancies. The role of constraints coming from space-time translations is
considered here with this respect. It is known that invariance under these
translations implies the energy-momentum conservation relation that is usually
assumed to hold globally. Transformations of the current under these
translations, which lead to this result, also imply constraints that have been
ignored so far in relativistic quantum mechanic approaches. An implementation
of these constraints is discussed in the case of a model with two scalar
constituents. It amounts to incorporate selected two-body currents to all
orders in the interaction. Discrepancies for form factors in different
approaches can thus be removed, contributing to restore the equivalence of
different approaches. Results for the standard front-form approach ()
are found to fulfill the constraints and are therefore unchanged. The relation
with results from a dispersion-relation approach is also made.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures; to be published in the proceedings of LC2008;

Z-graded weak modules and regularity
It is proved that if any Z-graded weak module for vertex operator algebra V
is completely reducible, then V is rational and C_2-cofinite. That is, V is
regular. This gives a natural characterization of regular vertex operator
algebras.Comment: 9 page
Scaling Between Periodic Anderson and Kondo Lattice Models
Continuous-Time Quantum Monte Carlo (CT-QMC) method combined with Dynamical
Mean Field Theory (DMFT) is used to calculate both Periodic Anderson Model
(PAM) and Kondo Lattice Model (KLM). Different parameter sets of both models
are connected by the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation. For degeneracy N=2, a
special particle-hole symmetric case of PAM at half filling which always fixes
one electron per impurity site is compared with the results of the KLM. We find
a good mapping between PAM and KLM in the limit of large on-site Hubbard
interaction U for different properties like self-energy, quasiparticle residue
and susceptibility. This allows us to extract quasiparticle mass
renormalizations for the f electrons directly from KLM. The method is further
applied to higher degenerate case and to realsitic heavy fermion system CeRhIn5
in which the estimate of the Sommerfeld coefficient is proven to be close to
the experimental value
