On peak phenomena for non-commutative
A non-commutative extension of Amar and Lederer's peak set result is given.
As its simple applications it is shown that any non-commutative
-algebra has unique predual,and moreover some
restriction in some of the results of Blecher and Labuschagne are removed,
making them hold in full generality.Comment: final version (the presentation of some part is revised and one

Multiplicativity of completely bounded p-norms implies a new additivity result
We prove additivity of the minimal conditional entropy associated with a
quantum channel Phi, represented by a completely positive (CP),
trace-preserving map, when the infimum of S(gamma_{12}) - S(gamma_1) is
restricted to states of the form gamma_{12} = (I \ot Phi)(| psi >< psi |). We
show that this follows from multiplicativity of the completely bounded norm of
Phi considered as a map from L_1 -> L_p for L_p spaces defined by the Schatten
p-norm on matrices; we also give an independent proof based on entropy
inequalities. Several related multiplicativity results are discussed and
proved. In particular, we show that both the usual L_1 -> L_p norm of a CP map
and the corresponding completely bounded norm are achieved for positive
semi-definite matrices. Physical interpretations are considered, and a new
proof of strong subadditivity is presented.Comment: Final version for Commun. Math. Physics. Section 5.2 of previous

Measurements of polarized photo-pion production on longitudinally polarized HD and Implications for Convergence of the GDH Integral
We report new measurements of inclusive pion production from frozen-spin HD
for polarized photon beams covering the Delta(1232) resonance. These provide
data simultaneously on both H and D with nearly complete angular distributions
of the spin-difference cross sections entering the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH)
sum rule. Recent results from Mainz and Bonn exceed the GDH prediction for the
proton by 22 microbarns, suggesting as yet unmeasured high-energy components.
Our pi0 data reveal a different angular dependence than assumed in Mainz
analyses and integrate to a value that is 18 microbarns lower, suggesting a
more rapid convergence. Our results for deuterium are somewhat lower than
published data, considerably more precise and generally lower than available
calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. Submitted for publication in Physical Review

Study of a class of non-polynomial oscillator potentials
We develop a variational method to obtain accurate bounds for the
eigenenergies of H = -Delta + V in arbitrary dimensions N>1, where V(r) is the
nonpolynomial oscillator potential V(r) = r^2 + lambda r^2/(1+gr^2), lambda in
(-infinity,\infinity), g>0. The variational bounds are compared with results
previously obtained in the literature. An infinite set of exact solutions is
also obtained and used as a source of comparison eigenvalues.Comment: 16 page
A new limit of T-violating transverse muon polarization in the decay
A search for T-violating transverse muon polarization () in the
decay was performed using kaon decays at rest. A
new improved value, , was
obtained giving an upper limit, . The T-violation parameter
was determined to be Im giving
an upper limit, Im.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Coherent Photoproduction of Eta-Mesons on Spin-Zero Nuclei in a Relativistic, Non-local Model
The coherent photoproduction of -mesons on spin-zero nuclei is studied
in a relativistic, non-local model, which we have previously applied to the
coherent photoproduction of pions. We find that different off-shell
extrapolations of the elementary production operator lead to large effects in
the cross section. We also show that the almost complete suppression of the
N(1535) seen in earlier studies on this reaction is a result of the local or
factorization approximation used in these works. Non-local effects can lead to
a considerable contribution from this resonance. The relative size of the
N(1535) contribution depends on the structure of the nucleus under
consideration. We give an estimate for the contribution of the N(1520)
resonance and discuss the effect of an -nucleus optical potentialComment: 29 pages, 14 figures; slight changes in presentation, extended
