Quantum Disordered Ground States in Frustrated Antiferromagnets with Multiple Ring Exchange Interactions
We present a certain class of two-dimensional frustrated quantum Heisenberg
spin systems with multiple ring exchange interactions which are rigorously
demonstrated to have quantum disordered ground states without magnetic
long-range order. The systems considered in this paper are s=1/2
antiferromagnets on a honeycomb and square lattices, and an s=1 antiferromagnet
on a triangular lattice. We find that for a particular set of parameter values,
the ground state is a short-range resonating valence bond state or a valence
bond crystal state. It is shown that these systems are closely related to the
quantum dimer model introduced by Rokhsar and Kivelson as an effective
low-energy theory for valence bond states.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of A Rotating Massive Star Collapsing to A Black Hole
We perform two-dimensional, axisymmetric, magnetohydrodynamic simulations of
the collapse of a rotating star of 40 Msun and in the light of the collapsar
model of gamma-ray burst. Considering two distributions of angular momentum, up
to \sim 10^{17} cm^2/s, and the uniform vertical magnetic field, we investigate
the formation of an accretion disk around a black hole and the jet production
near the hole. After material reaches to the black hole with the high angular
momentum, the disk is formed inside a surface of weak shock. The disk becomes
in a quasi-steady state for stars whose magnetic field is less than 10^{10} G
before the collapse. We find that the jet can be driven by the magnetic fields
even if the central core does not rotate as rapidly as previously assumed and
outer layers of the star has sufficiently high angular momentum. The magnetic
fields are chiefly amplified inside the disk due to the compression and the
wrapping of the field. The fields inside the disk propagate to the polar region
along the inner boundary near the black hole through the Alfv{\'e}n wave, and
eventually drive the jet. The quasi-steady disk is not an advection-dominated
disk but a neutrino cooling-dominated one. Mass accretion rates in the disks
are greater than 0.01 Msun/sec with large fluctuations. The disk is transparent
for neutrinos. The dense part of the disk, which locates near the hole, emits
neutrino efficiently at a constant rate of < 8 \times 10^{51} erg/s. The
neutrino luminosity is much smaller than those from supernovae after the
neutrino burst.Comment: 42 pages, accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal. A

Comment on "Spin Transport properties of the quantum one-dimensional non-linear sigma model"
In a recent preprint (cond-mat/9905415), Fujimoto has used the Bethe ansatz
to compute the finite temperature, zero frequency Drude weight of spin
transport in the quantum O(3) non-linear sigma model in a magnetic field . We show here that, contrary to his claims, the results are in accord
with earlier semiclassical results (Sachdev and Damle, cond-mat/9610115). We
also comment on his 1/N expansion, and show that it does not properly describe
the long-time correlations.Comment: 4 page
Drude Weight at Finite Temperatures for Some Non-Integrable Quantum Systems in One Dimension
Using conformal perturbation theory, we show that for some classes of the
one-dimensional quantum liquids that possess the Luttinger liquid fixed point
in the low energy limit, the Drude weight at finite temperatures is
non-vanishing, even when the system is {\it non-integrable} and the total
current is not conserved. We also obtain the asymptotically exact
low-temperature formula of the Drude weight for Heisenberg XXZ spin chains,
which agrees quite well with recent numerical data.Comment: Title is a little changed. References are updated. To appear in

Nambu-Goldstone Mechanism in Real-Time Thermal Field Theory
In a one-generation fermion condensate scheme of electroweak symmetry
breaking, it is proven based on Schwinger-Dyson equation in the real-time
thermal field theory in the fermion bubble diagram approximation that, at
finite temperature below the symmetry restoration temperature , a
massive Higgs boson and three massless Nambu-Goldstone bosons could emerge from
the spontaneous breaking of electroweak group
if the two fermion flavors in the one generation are mass-degenerate, thus
Goldstone Theorem is rigorously valid in this case. However, if the two fermion
flavors have unequal masses, owing to "thermal flactuation", the Goldstone
Theorem will be true only approximately for a very large momentum cut-off
in zero temperature fermion loop or for low energy scales. All
possible pinch singularities are proven to cancel each other, as is expected in
a real-time thermal field theory.Comment: 11 pages, revtex, no figure, Phys. Rev. D, to appea
Kondo Problem and Related One-Dimensional Quantum Systems: Bethe Ansatz Solution and Boundary Conformal Field Theory
We review some exact results on Kondo impurity systems derived from
Bethe-ansatz solutions and boundary conformal field theory with particular
emphasis on universal aspects of the phenomenon. The finite-size spectra
characterizing the low-energy fixed point are computed from the Bethe-ansatz
solutions of various models related to the Kondo problem. Using the finite-size
scaling argument, we investigate their exact critical properties. We also
discuss that a universal relation between the Kondo effect and the impurity
effect in one-dimensional quantum systems usefully expedites our understanding
of these different phenomena.Comment: 6 pages, no figure
Testing the Collective Properties of Small-World Networks through Roughness Scaling
Motivated by a fundamental synchronization problem in scalable parallel
computing and by a recent criterion for ``mean-field'' synchronizability in
interacting systems, we study the Edwards-Wilkinson model on two variations of
a small-worldnetwork. In the first version each site has exactly one random
link of strength , while in the second one each site on average has
links of unit strength. We construct a perturbative description for the width
of the stationary-state surface (a measure of synchronization), in the weak-
and sparse-coupling limits, respectively, and verify the results by performing
exact numerical diagonalization. The width remains finite in both cases, but
exhibits anomalous scaling with in the latter for .Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Identity of the imaginary-time and real-time thermal propagators for scalar bound states in a one-generation Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model
By rigorous reanalysis of the results, we have proven that the propagators at
finite temperature for scalar bound states in one-generation fermion condensate
scheme of electroweak symmetry breaking are in fact identical in the
imaginary-time and the real-time formalism. This dismisses the doubt about
possible discrepancy between the two formalisms in this problem. Identity of
the derived thermal transformation matrices of the real-time matrix propagators
for scalar bound states without and with chemical potential and the ones for
corresponding elementary scalar particles shows similarity of thermodynamic
property between the two types of particles. Only one former inference is
modified, i.e. when the two flavors of fermions have unequal nonzero masses,
the amplitude of the composite Higgs particle will decay instead grow in time.Comment: 5 pages, revtex4, no figure
Finite temperature Drude weight of the one dimensional spin 1/2 Heisenberg model}
Using the Bethe ansatz method, the zero frequency contribution (Drude weight)
to the spin current correlations is analyzed for the easy plane
antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. The Drude weight is a monotonically
decreasing function of temperature for all 0<Delta< 1, it approaches the zero
temperature value with a power law and it appears to vanish for all finite
temperatures at the isotropic Delta=1 point.Comment: 5 pages, 2 Postscript figure
