Nematic domains and resistivity in an itinerant metamagnet coupled to a lattice
The nature of the emergent phase near a putative quantum critical point in
the bilayer ruthenate SrRuO has been a recent subject of intensive
research. It has been suggested that this phase may possess electronic nematic
order(ENO). In this work, we investigate the possibility of nematic domain
formation in the emergent phase, using a phenomenological model of electrons
with ENO and its coupling to lattice degrees of freedom. The resistivity due to
the scattering off the domain walls is shown to closely follow the ENO
parameter. Our results provide qualitative explanations for the dependence of
the resistivity on external magnetic fields in SrRuO.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, published versio
The Operator Product Expansion of the Lowest Higher Spin Current at Finite N
For the N=2 Kazama-Suzuki(KS) model on CP^3, the lowest higher spin current
with spins (2, 5/2, 5/2,3) is obtained from the generalized GKO coset
construction. By computing the operator product expansion of this current and
itself, the next higher spin current with spins (3, 7/2, 7/2, 4) is also
derived. This is a realization of the N=2 W_{N+1} algebra with N=3 in the
supersymmetric WZW model. By incorporating the self-coupling constant of lowest
higher spin current which is known for the general (N,k), we present the
complete nonlinear operator product expansion of the lowest higher spin current
with spins (2, 5/2, 5/2, 3) in the N=2 KS model on CP^N space. This should
coincide with the asymptotic symmetry of the higher spin AdS_3 supergravity at
the quantum level. The large (N,k) 't Hooft limit and the corresponding
classical nonlinear algebra are also discussed.Comment: 62 pages; the footnotes added, some redundant appendices removed, the

Meta-Stable Brane Configurations by Adding an Orientifold-Plane to Giveon-Kutasov
In hep-th/0703135, they have found the type IIA intersecting brane
configuration where there exist three NS5-branes, D4-branes and anti-D4-branes.
By analyzing the gravitational interaction for the D4-branes in the background
of the NS5-branes, the phase structures in different regions of the parameter
space were studied in the context of classical string theory. In this paper, by
adding the orientifold 4-plane and 6-plane to the above brane configuration, we
describe the intersecting brane configurations of type IIA string theory
corresponding to the meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua of these gauge
theories.Comment: 21 pp, 6 figures; reduced bytes of figures, DBI action analysis added

Implication of Cotton Price Behavior on Market Integration
The cotton market in China is highly interactive with international markets, especially, the US market. The prices in these two markets can reveal important market relations. Investigating the data of futures prices from the New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) and the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange (CZCE) using several time series methods, we find a long-run cointegration relationship between these I(1) series. Furthermore, a bi-directional Granger Causality between these two futures markets is detected with Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) error specifications. We also find the relationship is impacted by the Chinese exchange rate policy change in the 2005.cotton futures prices, cointegration, granger causality test, AR-GARCH., Agricultural Finance,

Atomic scale lattice distortions and domain wall profiles
We present an atomic scale theory of lattice distortions using strain related
variables and their constraint equations. Our approach connects constrained
{\it atomic length} scale variations to {\it continuum} elasticity and
describes elasticity at several length scales. We apply the approach to a
two-dimensional square lattice with a monatomic basis, and find the elastic
deformations and hierarchical atomic relaxations in the vicinity of a domain
wall between two different homogeneous strain states. We clarify the
microscopic origin of gradient terms, some of which are included
phenomenologically in Ginzburg-Landau theory, by showing that they are
anisotropic.Comment: 6 figure
