    The self-dual gauge fields and the domain wall fermion zero modes

    Full text link
    A new type of gauge fixing of the Coulomb gauge domain wall fermion system that reduces the fluctuation of the effective running coupling and the effective mass of arbitrary momentum direction including the region outside the cylinder cut region is proposed and tested in the 163×32×1616^3\times 32\times 16 gauge configurations of RBC/UKQCD collaboration. The running coupling at the lowest momentum point does not show infrared suppression and compatible with the experimental data extracted from the JLab collaboration. The source of the fluctuation of the effective mass near momentum p=p=0.6GeV region is expected to be due to the domain wall fermion zero modes.Comment: 12 pages 2 figures, extended arguments and references adde

    Numerical Study of the Ghost-Gluon Vertex in Landau gauge

    Full text link
    We present a numerical study of the ghost-gluon vertex and of the corresponding renormalization function \widetilde{Z}_1(p^2) in minimal Landau gauge for SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Data were obtained for three different lattice volumes (V = 4^4, 8^4, 16^4) and for three lattice couplings \beta = 2.2, 2.3, 2.4. Gribov-copy effects have been analyzed using the so-called smeared gauge fixing. We also consider two different sets of momenta (orbits) in order to check for possible effects due to the breaking of rotational symmetry. The vertex has been evaluated at the asymmetric point (0;p,-p) in momentum-subtraction scheme. We find that \widetilde{Z}_1(p^2) is approximately constant and equal to 1, at least for momenta p > ~ 1 GeV. This constitutes a nonperturbative verification of the so-called nonrenormalization of the Landau ghost-gluon vertex. Finally, we use our data to evaluate the running coupling constant \alpha_s(p^2).Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures, 9 tables, using axodraw.sty; minor modifications in the abstract, introduction and conclusion

    Extractive Chinese Spoken Document Summarization Using Probabilistic Ranking Models

    Full text link
    Abstract. The purpose of extractive summarization is to automatically select indicative sentences, passages, or paragraphs from an original document according to a certain target summarization ratio, and then sequence them to form a concise summary. In this paper, in contrast to conventional approaches, our objective is to deal with the extractive summarization problem under a probabilistic modeling framework. We investigate the use of the hidden Markov model (HMM) for spoken document summarization, in which each sentence of a spoken document is treated as an HMM for generating the document, and the sentences are ranked and selected according to their likelihoods. In addition, the relevance model (RM) of each sentence, estimated from a contemporary text collection, is integrated with the HMM model to improve the representation of the sentence model. The experiments were performed on Chinese broadcast news compiled in Taiwan. The proposed approach achieves noticeable performance gains over conventional summarization approaches

    The flavor symmetry in the standard model and the triality symmetry

    Full text link
    A Dirac fermion is expressed by a 4 component spinor which is a combination of two quaternions and which can be treated as an octonion. The octonion possesses the triality symmetry, which defines symmetry of fermion spinors and bosonic vector fields. The triality symmetry relates three sets of spinors and two sets of vectors, which are transformed among themselves via transformations G23,G12,G13G_{23}, G_{12}, G_{13}, G123G_{123} and G132G_{132}. If the electromagnetic (EM) interaction is sensitive to the triality symmetry, i.e. EM probe selects one triality sector, EM signals from the 5 transformed world would not be detected, and be treated as the dark matter. According to an astrophysical measurement, the ratio of the dark to ordinary matter in the universe as a whole is almost exactly 5. We expect quarks are insensitive to the triality, and triality will appear as three times larger flavor degrees of freedom in the lattice simulation.Comment: 16 pages 8 figures, To be published in International Journal of Modern Physics

    A Study of Degenerate Four-quark states in SU(2) Lattice Monte Carlo

    Get PDF
    The energies of four-quark states are calculated for geometries in which the quarks are situated on the corners of a series of tetrahedra and also for geometries that correspond to gradually distorting these tetrahedra into a plane. The interest in tetrahedra arises because they are composed of {\bf three } degenerate partitions of the four quarks into two two-quark colour singlets. This is an extension of earlier work showing that geometries with {\bf two} degenerate partitions (e.g.\ squares) experience a large binding energy. It is now found that even larger binding energies do not result, but that for the tetrahedra the ground and first excited states become degenerate in energy. The calculation is carried out using SU(2) for static quarks in the quenched approximation with β=2.4\beta=2.4 on a 163×3216^3\times 32 lattice. The results are analysed using the correlation matrix between different euclidean times and the implications of these results are discussed for a model based on two-quark potentials.Comment: Original Raw PS file replace by a tarred, compressed and uuencoded PS fil

    Renormalizability of a quark-gluon model with soft BRST breaking in the infrared region

    Full text link
    We prove the renormalizability of a quark-gluon model with a soft breaking of the BRST symmetry, which accounts for the modification of the large distance behavior of the quark and gluon correlation functions. The proof is valid to all orders of perturbation theory, by making use of softly broken Ward identities.Comment: 20 pages, no figures. Preprint number added in v2

    Class-Discriminative Weighted Distortion Measure for VQ-based Speaker Identification

    Full text link
    We consider the distortion measure in vector quantization based speaker identification system. The model of a speaker is a codebook generated from the set of feature vectors from the speakers voice sample. The matching is performed by evaluating the distortions between the unknown speech sample and the models in the speaker database. In this paper, we introduce a weighted distortion measure that takes into account the correlations between the known models in the database. Larger weights are assigned to vectors that have high discriminating power between the speakers and vice versa

    The Gribov-Zwanziger action in the presence of the gauge invariant, nonlocal mass operator Trd4xFμν(D2)1FμνTr \int d^4x F_{\mu\nu} (D^2)^{-1} F_{\mu\nu} in the Landau gauge

    Full text link
    We prove that the nonlocal gauge invariant mass dimension two operator Fμν(D2)1FμνF_{\mu\nu} (D^2)^{-1} F_{\mu\nu} can be consistently added to the Gribov-Zwanziger action, which implements the restriction of the path integral's domain of integration to the first Gribov region when the Landau gauge is considered. We identify a local polynomial action and prove the renormalizability to all orders of perturbation theory by employing the algebraic renormalization formalism. Furthermore, we also pay attention to the breaking of the BRST invariance, and to the consequences that this has for the Slavnov-Taylor identity.Comment: 30 page

    Infrared Features of the Landau Gauge QCD

    Full text link
    The infrared features of Landau gauge QCD are studied by the lattice simulation of β=6.0,164,244,324\beta=6.0, 16^4, 24^4, 32^4 and β=6.4,324,484\beta=6.4, 32^4, 48^4. We adopt two definitions of the gauge field; 1) UU-linear 2) logU\log U and measured the gluon propagator and ghost propagator. Infrared singularity of the gluon propagator is less than that of tree level result but the gluon propagator at 0 momentum remains finite. The infrared singularity of ghost propagator is stronger than the tree level. The QCD running coupling measured by using the gluon propagator and the ghost propagator has a maximum αs(p)1\alpha_s(p)\simeq 1 at around p=0.5GeVp=0.5GeV and decreases as pp approaches 0. The data are analyzed in use of formula of the principle of minimal sensitivity(PMS), the effective charge method and the contour-improved perturbation method, which suggest necessity of the resummation of perturbation series in the infrared region together with existence of the infrared fixed point. Kugo-Ojima parameter saturates at about -0.8 in contrast to the theoretically expected value -1.Comment: RevTex4, 9 pages, 10 eps figures, Typos corrected. To be published in Phys. Rev. D(2004

    Effects of Symmetry Breaking on the Strong and Electroweak Interactions of the Vector Nonet

    Get PDF
    Starting from a chiral invariant and quark line rule conserving Lagrangian of pseudoscalar and vector nonets we introduce first and second order symmetry breaking as well as quark line rule violating terms and fit the parameters, at tree level, to many strong and electroweak processes. A number of predictions are made. The electroweak interactions are included in a manifestly gauge invariant manner. The resulting symmetry breaking pattern is discussed in detail. Specifically, for the ``strong'' interactions, we study all the vector meson masses and V -> \phi \phi decays, including isotopic spin violations. In the electroweak sector we study the { rho^0 , omega , phi } -> e^+e^- decays, { pi^+ , K^+ , K^0 } ``charge radii'', K_{l3} ``slope factor'' and the overall e^+e^- -> pi^+ pi^- process. It is hoped that the resulting model may be useful as a reasonable description of low energy physics in the range up to about 1 GeV.Comment: 43 pages (LaTeX), 5 PostScript figures are included as uuencoded-compressed-tar file at the en
