Consistent dimensional reduction of five-dimensional off-shell supergravity
There are some points to notice in the dimensional reduction of the off-shell
supergravity. We discuss a consistent way of the dimensional reduction of
five-dimensional off-shell supergravity compactified on S^1/Z_2. There are two
approaches to the four-dimensional effective action, which are complementary to
each other. Their essential difference is the treatment of the compensator and
the radion superfields. We explain these approaches in detail and examine their
consistency. Comments on the related works are also provided.Comment: 25 pages, no figure, LaTeX; published versio
Self-dual Maxwell Chern-Simons Solitons In 1+1 Dimensions
We study the domain wall soliton solutions in the relativistic self-dual
Maxwell Chern-Simons model in 1+1 dimensions obtained by the dimensional
reduction of the 2+1 model. Both topological and nontopological self-dual
solutions are found in this case. A la BPS dyons here the Bogomol'ny bound on
the energy is expressed in terms of two conserved quantities. We discuss the
underlying supersymmetry. Nonrelativistic limit of this model is also
considered and static, nonrelativistic self-dual soliton solutions are
obtained.Comment: 18 pages RevTex, 2 figures included, to appear in Phys. Rev.
Interaction of electric charges in (2+1)D magnetic dipole gas
The interaction of electrically charged particles in a dilute gas of
point--like magnetic dipoles is studied. We show that the interaction potential
at small distances has a linear piece due to overlap of the dipole clouds
gathered near electric sources. At large distances the potential becomes of the
Coulomb type with non-perturbatively renormalized charge of the test particle.
The physical applications of these results are discussed.Comment: 23 pages, 12 EPS figures, RevTeX, uses epsfig.sty; misprints

Probing for Instanton Quarks with epsilon-Cooling
We use epsilon-cooling, adjusting at will the order a^2 corrections to the
lattice action, to study the parameter space of instantons in the background of
non-trivial holonomy and to determine the presence and nature of constituents
with fractional topological charge at finite and zero temperature for SU(2). As
an additional tool, zero temperature configurations were generated from those
at finite temperature with well-separated constituents. This is achieved by
"adiabatically" adjusting the anisotropic coupling used to implement finite
temperature on a symmetric lattice. The action and topological charge density,
as well as the Polyakov loop and chiral zero-modes are used to analyse these
configurations. We also show how cooling histories themselves can reveal the
presence of constituents with fractional topological charge. We comment on the
interpretation of recent fermion zero-mode studies for thermalized ensembles at
small temperatures.Comment: 26 pages, 14 figures in 33 part
