Chirality violating condensates in QCD and their connection with zero mode solutions of quark Dirac equations

It is demonstrated, that chirality violating condensates in massless QCD arise entirely from zero mode solutions of Dirac equations in arbitrary gluon fields. The model is suggested, where the zero mode solutions are the ones for quarks, moving in the instanton field. Basing on this model were calculated the quark condensate magnetic susceptibilities of dimensions $3(\chi)$ and 5 ($\kappa$ and $\xi$). The good considence of the values $\chi,\kappa$ and $\xi$, obtained in this approach with ones, found from the hadronic spectrum ia a serious argument in favour, that instantons are the only source of chirality violating condensates in QCD. The temperature dependence of the quark condensate is discussed. It is shown that the phase transition, corresponding to the $T$-dependence of the quark condensate $\alpha(T)$ as an order parameter, is of the type of crossover.Comment: The talk presented of Gribov-80 Workshop, May 28-30, 2010, Trieste, 8 pages, minor change

Microscopic origin of low frequency flux noise in Josephson circuits

We analyze the data and discuss their implications for the microscopic origin of the low frequency flux noise in superconducting circuits. We argue that this noise is produced by spins at the superconductor insulator boundary whose dynamics is due to RKKY interaction. We show that this mechanism explains size independence of the noise, different frequency dependences of the spectra reported in large and small SQUIDs and gives the correct intensity for realistic parameters.Comment: 4 pages, no figure

Rho-meson form factors and QCD sum rules

We present predictions for rho-meson form factors obtained from the analysis of QCD sum rules in next-to-leading order of perturbation theory. The radiative corrections turn out to be sizeable and should be taken into account in rigorous theoretical analysis.Comment: LaTeX file, 14 pages, 7 figure

Dobrushin-Kotecky-Shlosman theorem for polygonal Markov fields in the plane

We consider the so-called length-interacting Arak-Surgailis polygonal Markov fields with V-shaped nodes - a continuum and isometry invariant process in the plane sharing a number of properties with the two-dimensional Ising model. For these polygonal fields we establish a low-temperature phase separation theorem in the spirit of the Dobrushin-Kotecky-Shlosman theory, with the corresponding Wulff shape deteremined to be a disk due to the rotation invariant nature of the considered model. As an important tool replacing the classical cluster expansion techniques and very well suited for our geometric setting we use a graphical construction built on contour birth and death process, following the ideas of Fernandez, Ferrari and Garcia.Comment: 59 pages, new version revised according to the referee's suggestions and now publishe

Topologically decoherence-protected qubits with trapped ions

We show that trapped ions can be used to simulate a highly symmetrical Hamiltonian with eingenstates naturally protected against local sources of decoherence. This Hamiltonian involves long range coupling between particles and provides a more efficient protection than nearest neighbor models discussed in previous works. Our results open the perspective of experimentally realizing in controlled atomic systems, complex entangled states with decoherence times up to nine orders of magnitude longer than isolated quantum systems.Comment: 4 page

New Exactly Solvable Two-Dimensional Quantum Model Not Amenable to Separation of Variables

The supersymmetric intertwining relations with second order supercharges allow to investigate new two-dimensional model which is not amenable to standard separation of variables. The corresponding potential being the two-dimensional generalization of well known one-dimensional P\"oschl-Teller model is proven to be exactly solvable for arbitrary integer value of parameter $p:$ all its bound state energy eigenvalues are found analytically, and the algorithm for analytical calculation of all wave functions is given. The shape invariance of the model and its integrability are of essential importance to obtain these results.Comment: 23 page

Effective action of magnetic monopole in three-dimensional electrodynamics with massless matter and gauge theories of superconductivity

We compute one-loop effective action of magnetic monopole in three-dimensional electrodynamics of massless bosons and fermions and find that it contains an infrared logarithm. So, when the number of massless matter species is sufficiently large, monopoles are suppressed and in the weak coupling limit charged particles are unconfined. This result provides some support to gauge theories of high-temperature superconductors. It also provides a mechanism by which interlayer tunneling of excitations with one unit of the ordinary electric charge can be suppressed while that of a doubly charged object is allowed.Comment: 8 pages, LATEX, UCLA/93/TEP/41 (the last sentence of the paragraph concerning applications at the end of the paper has been deleted; mailing problems have been corrected

Dependence of Lattice Hadron Masses on External Magnetic Fields

We study the variation of the hadron masses in the presence of external magnetic fields of strength of the order of the masses themselves. We identify the main factors affecting the lattice simulation results: - the boundary discontinuities for $eB << 2\pi / L^2 a^2$. - the SU(6) choice of the hadron wave-function. We confirm qualitatively the earlier theoretical ansatz on the linear behaviour of the masses with the magnetic field and, as a by-product, we improve the lattice measurements of the nucleon magnetic moments. However our systematic and statistical errors preclude us from measuring the theoretically predicted field strength at which the proton becomes heavier than the neutron.Comment: 18 pages, compressed uuencoded postscript fil

Spectral representation and QCD sum rules for nucleon at finite temperature

We examine the problem of constructing spectral representations for two point correlation functions, needed to write down the QCD sum rules in the medium. We suggest constructing them from the Feynman diagrams for the correlation functions. As an example we use this procedure to write the QCD sum rules for the nucleon current at finite temperature

Cooper Pair Formation in U(1) Gauge Theory of High Temperature Superconductivity

We study the two-dimensional spin-charge separated Ginzburg-Landau theory containing U(1) gauge interactions as a semi-phenomenological model describing fluctuating condensates in high temperature superconductivity. Transforming the original GL action, we abstract the effective action of Cooper pair. Especially, we clarify how Cooper pair correlation evolves in the normal state from the point of view of spin-charge separation. Furthermore, we point out how Cooper pair couples to gauge field in a gauge-invariant way, stressing the insensitivity of Cooper pair to infrared gauge field fluctuation.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures included, submitted to J.
