Finite Size Scaling for Low Energy Excitations in Integer Heisenberg Spin Chains
In this paper we study the finite size scaling for low energy excitations of
and Heisenberg chains, using the density matrix renormalization
group technique. A crossover from behavior (with as the chain length)
for medium chain length to scaling for long chain length is found for
excitations in the continuum band as the length of the open chain increases.
Topological spin excitations are shown to give rise to the two lowest
energy states for both open and periodic chains. In periodic chains these
two excitations are ``confined'' next to each other, while for open chains they
are two free edge 1/2 spins. The finite size scaling of the two lowest energy
excitations of open chains is determined by coupling the two free edge
spins. The gap and correlation length for open Heisenberg chains
are shown to be 0.082 (in units of the exchange ) and 47, respectively.Comment: 4 pages (two column), PS file, to be appear as a PRB Brief Repor
Comment about UV regularization of basic commutators in string theories
Recently proposed by Hwang, Marnelius and Saltsidis zeta regularization of
basic commutators in string theories is generalized to the string models with
non-trivial vacuums. It is shown that implementation of this regularization
implies the cancellation of dangerous terms in the commutators between Virasoro
generators, which break Jacobi identity.Comment: LaTeX, 9 pages, no figures, submitted to Physics Letters
Nonperturbative late time asymptotics for heat kernel in gravity theory
Recently proposed nonlocal and nonperturbative late time behavior of the heat
kernel is generalized to curved spacetimes. Heat kernel trace asymptotics is
dominated by two terms one of which represents a trivial covariantization of
the flat-space result and another one is given by the Gibbons-Hawking integral
over asymptotically-flat infinity. Nonlocal terms of the effective action
generated by this asymptotics might underly long- distance modifications of the
Einstein theory motivated by the cosmological constant problem. New mechanisms
of the cosmological constant induced by infrared effects of matter and graviton
loops are briefly discussed.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX, final version, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Chiral symmetry breaking in d=3 NJL model in external gravitational and magnetic fields
The phase structure of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in curved spacetime
with magnetic field is investigated in the leading order of the -expansion
and in linear curvature approximation (an external magnetic field is treated
exactly). The possibility of the chiral symmetry breaking under the combined
action of the external gravitational and magnetic fields is shown explicitly.
At some circumstances the chiral symmetry may be restored due to the
compensation of the magnetic field by the gravitational field.Comment: 7 pages, LaTe
Thermal compression of atomic hydrogen on helium surface
We describe experiments with spin-polarized atomic hydrogen gas adsorbed on
liquid He surface. The surface gas density is increased locally by
thermal compression up to cm at 110 mK. This
corresponds to the onset of quantum degeneracy with the thermal de-Broglie
wavelength being 1.5 times larger than the mean interatomic spacing. The atoms
were detected directly with a 129 GHz electron-spin resonance spectrometer
probing both the surface and the bulk gas. This, and the simultaneous
measurement of the recombination power, allowed us to make accurate studies of
the adsorption isotherm and the heat removal from the adsorbed hydrogen gas.
From the data, we estimate the thermal contact between 2D hydrogen gas and
phonons of the helium film. We analyze the limitations of the thermal
compression method and the possibility to reach the superfluid transition in 2D
hydrogen gas.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figure
Small Fermi surface in the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model
We study the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model through the density matrix
renormalization group (DMRG). Our results for the spin correlation function
indicate the presence of a small Fermi surface in large portions of the phase
diagram, in contrast to some previous studies that used the same technique. We
argue that the discrepancy is due to the open boundary conditions, which
introduce strong charge perturbations that strongly affect the spin Friedel
oscillations.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figure
The molecular systems composed of the charmed mesons in the doublet
We study the possible heavy molecular states composed of a pair of charm
mesons in the H and S doublets. Since the P-wave charm-strange mesons
and are extremely narrow, the future experimental
observation of the possible heavy molecular states composed of
and may be feasible if they really exist.
Especially the possible states may be searched for via the
initial state radiation technique.Comment: 42 pages, 4 tables, 31 figures. Improved numerical results and

Neutron beam test of CsI crystal for dark matter search
We have studied the response of Tl-doped and Na-doped CsI crystals to nuclear
recoils and 's below 10 keV. The response of CsI crystals to nuclear
recoil was studied with mono-energetic neutrons produced by the
H(p,n)He reaction. This was compared to the response to Compton
electrons scattered by 662 keV -ray. Pulse shape discrimination between
the response to these 's and nuclear recoils was studied, and quality
factors were estimated. The quenching factors for nuclear recoils were derived
for both CsI(Na) and CsI(Tl) crystals.Comment: 21pages, 14figures, submitted to NIM
Interplay of quark and meson degrees of freedom in a near-threshold resonance
We investigate the interplay of quark and meson degrees of freedom in a
physical state representing a near-threshold resonance for the case of a single
continuum channel. We demonstrate that such a near-threshold resonance may
possess quite peculiar properties if both quark and meson dynamics generate
weakly coupled near-threshold poles in the S-matrix. In particular, the
scattering t-matrix may possess zeros in this case. We also discuss possible
implications for production reactions as well as studies within lattice QCD.Comment: LaTeX2e, 11 pages, minor typo corrections, to appear in Eur.Phys.J.
