Massive Three-Dimensional Supergravity From R+R^2 Action in Six Dimensions
We obtain a three-parameter family of massive N=1 supergravities in three
dimensions from the 3-sphere reduction of an off-shell N=(1,0) six-dimensional
Poincare supergravity that includes a curvature squared invariant. The
three-dimensional theory contains an off-shell supergravity multiplet and an
on-shell scalar matter multiplet. We then generalise this in three dimensions
to an eight-parameter family of supergravities. We also find a duality
relationship between the six-dimensional theory and the N=(1,0) six-dimensional
theory obtained through a T^4 reduction of the heterotic string effective
action that includes the higher-order terms associated with the
supersymmetrisation of the anomaly-cancelling \tr(R\wedge R) term.Comment: Latex, 32 Pages, an equation is corrected, a few new equations and a

Vortices, Q-balls and Domain Walls on Dielectric M2-branes
We study BPS solitons in N=6 U(N) \times U(N) Chern-Simons-matter theory
deformed by an F-term mass. The F-term mass generically breaks N=6
supersymmetry down to N=2. At vacua, M2-branes are polarized into a fuzzy S^3
forming a spherical M5-brane with topology \mathbf{R}^{1,2} \times S^3. The
polarization is interpreted as Myers' dielectric effect caused by an
anti-self-dual 4-form flux T_4 in the eleven-dimensional supergravity. Assuming
a polarized M2-brane configuration, the model effectively reduces to the
well-known abelian Chern-Simons-Higgs model studied in detail by
Jackiw-Lee-Weinberg. We find that the potential for the fuzzy S^3 radius agrees
with the one calculated from the M5-brane point of view at large N. This
effective model admits not only BPS topological vortex and domain wall
solutions but also non-topological solitons that keep 1/4 of the manifest N=2
supersymmetry. We also comment on the reduction of our configuration to ten
dimensions.Comment: references added, minor modification
Carrier concentrations in Bi_{2}Sr_{2-z}La_{z}CuO_{6+\delta} single crystals and their relation to Hall coefficient and thermopower
We measured the thermopower S and the Hall coefficients R_H of
Bi_{2}Sr_{2-z}La_{z}CuO_{6+\delta} (BSLCO) single crystals in a wide doping
range, in an effort to identify the actual hole concentrations per Cu, p, in
this system. It is found that the "universal" relation between the
room-temperature thermopower and T_c does not hold in the BSLCO system.
Instead, comparison of the temperature-dependent R_H data with other cuprate
systems is used as a tool to identify the actual p value. To justify this
approach, we compare normalized R_H(T) data of BSLCO, La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4}
(LSCO), YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{y}, and Tl_{2}Ba_{2}CuO_{6+\delta}, and demonstrate
that the R_H(T) data of the LSCO system can be used as a template for the
estimation of p. The resulting phase diagram of p vs T_c for BSLCO suggests
that T_c is anomalously suppressed in the underdoped samples, becoming zero at
around p ~ 0.10, while the optimum T_c is achieved at p ~ 0.16 as expected.Comment: 4 pages including 5 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.

Central Charges in Extreme Black Hole/CFT Correspondence
The Kerr/CFT correspondence has been recently broadened to the general
extremal black holes under the assumption that the central charges from the
non-gravitational fields vanish. To confirm this proposal, we derive the
expression of the conserved charges in the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory with
topological terms in four and five dimensions and check that the above
assumption was correct. Combining the computed central charge with the expected
form of the temperature, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the general extremal
black holes in four and five dimensions can be reproduced by using the Cardy
formula.Comment: 20 pages, v2:references added, published in JHE
correlations from the stopped reaction on He
We have investigated correlations of coincident pairs from the
stopped reaction on He, and clearly observed and
branches of the two-nucleon absorption process in the
invariant mass spectra. In addition, non-mesonic reaction channels, which
indicate possible exotic signals for the formation of strange multibaryon
states, have been identified.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Physical Review Letter
Higher Derivative Extension of 6D Chiral Gauged Supergravity
Six-dimensional (1,0) supersymmetric gauged Einstein-Maxwell supergravity is
extended by the inclusion of a supersymmetric Riemann tensor squared invariant.
Both the original model as well as the Riemann tensor squared invariant are
formulated off-shell and consequently the total action is off-shell invariant
without modification of the supersymmetry transformation rules. In this
formulation, superconformal techniques, in which the dilaton Weyl multiplet
plays a crucial role, are used. It is found that the gauging of the U(1)
R-symmetry in the presence of the higher-order derivative terms does not modify
the positive exponential in the dilaton potential. Moreover, the supersymmetric
Minkowski(4) x S^2 compactification of the original model, without the
higher-order derivatives, is remarkably left intact. It is shown that the model
also admits non-supersymmetric vacuum solutions that are direct product spaces
involving de Sitter spacetimes and negative curvature internal spaces.Comment: 32 pages; typos corrected, footnote in conclusions section adde
