Jahn-Teller, Charge and Magnetic Ordering in half-doped Manganese Oxides
The phase diagram of half-doped manganite systems of formula
A_{0.5}A'_{0.5}MnO_3 is investigated within a single-orbital model
incorporating magnetic double-exchange and superexchange, together with
intersite Coulomb and electron-lattice interactions. Strong Jahn-Teller and
breathing mode deformations compete together and result in shear lattice
deformations. The latters stabilize the charge-ordered CE-type phase, which
undergo first-order transitions with temperature or magnetic field to either
Ferromagnetic metallic or Paramagnetic insulating phases. An essential feature
is the self-consistent screening of Coulomb and electron-phonon interactions in
the ferromagnetic phase.Comment: 10 pages, six figures (eps files) +two class file
Long Range Forces from Pseudoscalar Exchange
Using dispersion theoretic techniques, we consider coherent long range forces
arising from double pseudoscalar exchange among fermions. We find that Yukawa
type coupling leads to spin independent attractive potentials whereas
derivative coupling renders spin independent repulsive potentials.Comment: 27 pages, REVTeX, 3 figures included using epsfi

Effects of Bose-Einstein Condensation on forces among bodies sitting in a boson heat bath
We explore the consequences of Bose-Einstein condensation on
two-scalar-exchange mediated forces among bodies that sit in a boson gas. We
find that below the condensation temperature the range of the forces becomes
infinite while it is finite at temperatures above condensation.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
Classical limit of the Casimir entropy for scalar massless field
We study the Casimir effect at finite temperature for a massless scalar field
in the parallel plates geometry in N spatial dimensions, under various
combinations of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on the plates. We
show that in all these cases the entropy, in the limit where energy
equipartitioning applies, is a geometrical factor whose sign determines the
sign of the Casimir force.Comment: 14 page
Dynamical Generation of Extended Objects in a Dimensional Chiral Field Theory: Non-Perturbative Dirac Operator Resolvent Analysis
We analyze the dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model non-perturbatively.
In addition to its simple ground state saddle points, the effective action of
this model has a rich collection of non-trivial saddle points in which the
composite fields \sigx=\lag\bar\psi\psi\rag and \pix=\lag\bar\psi
i\gam_5\psi\rag form static space dependent configurations because of
non-trivial dynamics. These configurations may be viewed as one dimensional
chiral bags that trap the original fermions (``quarks") into stable extended
entities (``hadrons"). We provide explicit expressions for the profiles of
these objects and calculate their masses. Our analysis of these saddle points
is based on an explicit representation we find for the diagonal resolvent of
the Dirac operator in a \{\sigx, \pix\} background which produces a
prescribed number of bound states. We analyse in detail the cases of a single
as well as two bound states. We find that bags that trap fermions are the
most stable ones, because they release all the fermion rest mass as binding
energy and become massless. Our explicit construction of the diagonal resolvent
is based on elementary Sturm-Liouville theory and simple dimensional analysis
and does not depend on the large approximation. These facts make it, in our
view, simpler and more direct than the calculations previously done by Shei,
using the inverse scattering method following Dashen, Hasslacher, and Neveu.
Our method of finding such non-trivial static configurations may be applied to
other dimensional field theories
Addendum to Finite-size effects on multibody neutrino exchange
The interaction energy of the neutrons due to massless neutrino exchange in a
neutron star has recently been proved, using an effective theory, to be
extremely small and infrared-safe. Our comment here is of conceptual order: two
approaches to compute the total interaction energy density have recently been
proposed. Here, we study the connection between these two approaches. From CP
invariance, we argue that the resulting interaction energy has to be even in
the parameter , which expresses the static neutrino
potential created by a neutron medium of density .Comment: Latex file (Revtex), 9 pages, 1 figure, one reference change
