Thermonuclear burn-up in deuterated methane
The thermonuclear burn-up of highly compressed deuterated methane CD is
considered in the spherical geometry. The minimal required values of the
burn-up parameter are determined for various
temperatures and densities . It is shown that thermonuclear burn-up
in becomes possible in practice if its initial density exceeds
. Burn-up in CDT methane
requires significantly ( 100 times) lower compressions. The developed
approach can be used in order to compute the critical burn-up parameters in an
arbitrary deuterium containing fuel
Scattering of Straight Cosmic Strings by Black Holes: Weak Field Approximation
The scattering of a straight, infinitely long string moving with velocity
by a black hole is considered. We analyze the weak-field case, where the impact
parameter () is large, and obtain exact solutions to the equations of
motion. As a result of scattering, the string is displaced in the direction
perpendicular to the velocity by an amount , where . The second
term dominates at low velocities . The late-time
solution is represented by a kink and anti-kink, propagating in opposite
directions at the speed of light, and leaving behind them the string in a new
``phase''. The solutions are applied to the problem of string capture, and are
compared to numerical results.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figure
Gluon - W-meson scattering via different renormalization schemes
The one loop gluon - W-meson amplitude is calculated by means of the
gauge-invariant generalized Pauli-Villars regularization and with the help of
dimensional regularization. It is shown that in the former case the amplitude
satisfies Generalized Ward Identities, whereas in the latter case the amplitude
differs from the first one by the constant.Comment: Latex, 12 pages, uses linedraw, accepted for publication in

Bound state spectra of three-body muonic molecular ions
The results of highly accurate calculations are presented for all twenty-two
known bound and states in the six
three-body muonic molecular ions and
. A number of bound state properties of these muonic molecular ions have
been determined numerically to high accuracy. The dependence of the total
energies of these muonic molecules upon particle masses is considered. We also
discuss the current status of muon-catalysis of nuclear fusion reactions.Comment: This is the final version. All `techical' troubles with the
Latex-file have been resolved. A few misprints/mistakes in the text were

Study of the physical properties of crystalline rocks in the southeast Voronezh anteclise
The physical properties of rocks, in the crystalline mass of the Voronezh anteclise, were studied. The study of the physical properties of rocks is important for the improvement of geophysical methods for mapping crystalline rocks in the foundation and exploration of different geological objects which are associated with the crystalline foundation, covered by the sedimentary mantle. It is found that: (1) rocks in the crystalline foundation are very different in physical properties; (2) the physical properties are closely related to their substance composition and genesis; (3) petrographic properties give clues of rock afficiation to certain complexes; and (4) physical and magnetic properties should be examined by petrography, chemical and X-ray analysis
Quantizing three-spin string solution in AdS_5 x S^5
As was recently found in hep-th/0304255, there exists a simple
non-supersymmetric classical solution describing a closed string rotating in
S^5 and located at the center of AdS_5. It is parametrized by the angular
momentum J of the center of mass and two equal SO(6) angular momenta J' in the
two other orthogonal rotation planes. The dual N=4 SYM operators should be
scalar operators in SU(4) representations [0,J-J',2J'] or [J'-J,0,J'+J]. This
solution is stable if J' > 3/2 J and for large J + 2 J' its classical energy
admits an expansion in positive powers of g_eff = \lambda/(J + 2 J')^2: E= J +
2 J' + g_eff J' + ... . This suggests a possibility of a direct comparison with
perturbative SYM results for the corresponding anomalous dimensions in the
sector with g_eff << 1, by analogy with the BMN case. We conjecture that all
quantum sigma model string corrections are then subleading at large J', so that
the classical formula for the energy is effectively exact to all orders in
\lambda. It could then be interpolated to weak coupling, representing a
prediction for the anomalous dimensions on the SYM side. We test this
conjecture by computing the 1-loop superstring sigma model correction to the
classical energy.Comment: 25 pages, harvmac. v5: minor misprints in eqs

Statistical Mechanics of Charged Black Holes in Induced Einstein-Maxwell Gravity
The statistical origin of the entropy of charged black holes in models of
induced Einstein-Maxwell gravity is investigated. The constituents inducing the
Einstein-Maxwell action are charged and interact with an external gauge
potential. This new feature, however, does not change divergences of the
statistical-mechanical entropy of the constituents near the horizon. It is
demonstrated that the mechanism of generation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy
in induced gravity is universal and it is basically the same for charged and
neutral black holes. The concrete computations are carried out for induced
Einstein-Maxwell gravity with a negative cosmological constant in three
space-time dimensions.Comment: 16 pages, latex, no figure
Spin Chain with Magnetic Field and Spinning String in Magnetic Field Background
We analyze the fast-moving string in the magnetic Melvin field background and
find that the associated effective Lagrangian of string sigma model describes
the spin chain model with external magnetic field. The spin vector in the spin
chain has been properly deformed and is living on the deformed two-sphere or
deformed two-dimensional hyperboloid, depending on the direction around which
the string is spinning. We describe in detail the characters of spin
deformation and, in particular, see that this is a general property for a
string moving in a class of deformed background.Comment: Latex 10 pages, add a figure and a section, change titl
Orbifolded Konishi from the Mirror TBA
Starting with a discussion of the general applicability of the simplified
mirror TBA equations to simple deformations of the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring, we
proceed to study a specific type of orbifold to which the undeformed simplified
TBA equations directly apply. We then use this set of equations, as well as
Luscher's approach, to determine the NLO wrapping correction to the energy of
what we call the orbifolded Konishi state, and show that they perfectly agree.
In addition we discuss wrapping corrections to the ground state energy of the
orbifolded model under consideration.Comment: 26 pages, 5 figures, v2: corrected typos, added a short discussion on
the ground state of the model; as submitted to J. Phys.
