Isospin particle on with arbitrary number of supersymmetries
We study the supersymmetric quantum mechanics of an isospin particle in the
background of spherically symmetric Yang-Mills gauge field. We show that on
the number of supersymmetries can be made arbitrarily large for a
specific choice of the spherically symmetric SU(2) gauge field. However, the
symmetry algebra containing the supercharges becomes nonlinear if the number of
fermions is greater than two. We present the exact energy spectra and
eigenfunctions, which can be written as the product of monopole harmonics and a
certain isospin state. We also find that the supersymmetry is spontaneously
broken if the number of supersymmetries is even.Comment: 6 page
model with Hopf term and fractional spin statistics
We reconsider the model with the Hopf term by using the
Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin (BFT) scheme, which is an improved version of the Dirac
quantization method. We also perform a semi-classical quantization of the
topological charge Q sector by exploiting the collective coordinates to
explicitly show the fractional spin statistics.Comment: 15 page
General one-loop formulas for decay
Radiative corrections to the are evaluated in the
one-loop approximation. The unitary gauge gauge is used. The analytic result is
expressed in terms of the Passarino-Veltman functions. The calculations are
applicable for the Standard Model as well for a wide class of its gauge
extensions. In particular, the decay width of a charged Higgs boson can be derived. The consistence of our formulas and
several specific earlier results is shown.Comment: 33 pages, 3 figures, a new section (V) and references were improved

Flavor symmetry breaking effects on SU(3) Skyrmion
We study the massive SU(3) Skyrmion model to investigate the flavor symmetry
breaking (FSB) effects on the static properties of the strange baryons in the
framework of the rigid rotator quantization scheme combined with the improved
Dirac quantization one. Both the chiral symmetry breaking pion mass and FSB
kinetic terms are shown to improve the ratio of the strange-light to
light-light interaction strengths and that of the strange-strange to
light-light.Comment: 12 pages, latex, no figure
Effect of edge transmission and elastic scattering on the resistance of magnetic barriers
Strong magnetic barriers are defined in two-dimensional electron gases by
magnetizing dysprosium ferromagnetic platelets on top of a Ga[Al]As
heterostructure. A small resistance across the barrier is observed even deep
inside the closed regime. We have used semiclassical simulations to explain
this behavior quantitatively in terms of a combined effect of elastic electron
scattering inside the barrier region and E x B drift at the intersection of the
magnetic barrier with the edge of the Hall bar.Comment: 7 pages 4 figure
Mass Terms in Effective Theories of High Density Quark Matter
We study the structure of mass terms in the effective theory for
quasi-particles in QCD at high baryon density. To next-to-leading order in the
expansion we find two types of mass terms, chirality conserving
two-fermion operators and chirality violating four-fermion operators. In the
effective chiral theory for Goldstone modes in the color-flavor-locked (CFL)
phase the former terms correspond to effective chemical potentials, while the
latter lead to Lorentz invariant mass terms. We compute the masses of Goldstone
bosons in the CFL phase, confirming earlier results by Son and Stephanov as
well as Bedaque and Sch\"afer. We show that to leading order in the coupling
constant there is no anti-particle gap contribution to the mass of
Goldstone modes, and that our results are independent of the choice of gauge.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figure
Discrete Anomaly and Dynamical Mass in 2+1 dimensional Model
We note that in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theories with even number of massless
fermions, there is anomalous symmetry if theory is regularized in a
parity-invariant way. We then consider a parity invariant
model, which induces a mutual Chern-Simons term in the effective action due to
anomaly. The effect of the discrete anomaly is studied in the induced
spin and in the dynamical fermion mass.Comment: 14 pages, latex, two figures (available upon request
High Density Effective Theory Confronts the Fermi Liquid
The high density effective theory recently introduced by Hong and Hsu to
describe ultradense relativistic fermionic matter is used to calculate the
tree-level forward scattering amplitude between two particles at the Fermi
surface. While the direct term correctly reproduces that of the underlying
gauge theory, the exchange term has the wrong sign. The physical consequences
are discussed in the context of Landau's theoretical description of the Fermi
liquid.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures; conclusion expanded, reference adde
Exploring complex networks by walking on them
We carry out a comparative study on the problem for a walker searching on
several typical complex networks. The search efficiency is evaluated for
various strategies. Having no knowledge of the global properties of the
underlying networks and the optimal path between any two given nodes, it is
found that the best search strategy is the self-avoid random walk. The
preferentially self-avoid random walk does not help in improving the search
efficiency further. In return, topological information of the underlying
networks may be drawn by comparing the results of the different search
strategies.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
