Theoretical Description of Nearly Discontinuous Transition in Superconductors with Paramagnetic Depairing
Based on a theoretical argument and Monte Carlo simulations of a
Ginzburg-Landau model derived microscopically, it is argued that, in type-II
superconductors where {\it both} the paramagnetic {\it and} orbital depairings
are important, a strong first-order transition (FOT) at expected in
the mean field (MF) approximation never occurs in real systems and changes due
to the fluctuation into a crossover. The present result explains why a {\it
nearly} discontinuous crossover at with {\it no} intrinsic hysteresis
is observed only in a clean superconducting material with a singlet pairing and
a high condensation energy such as CeCoIn.Comment: Publication version. See cond-mat/0306060 regarding a corresponding

Multi-cluster dynamics in and analogy to clustering in
We investigate structure of and discuss the difference
and similarity between the structures of and by answering the questions if the linear-chain and gaslike cluster states,
which are proposed to appear in , survives, or new structure
states appear or not. We introduce a microscopic cluster model called,
Hyper-Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-R\"opke (H-THSR) wave function, which is an
extended version of the THSR wave function so as to describe
hypernuclei. We obtained two bound states and two resonance (quasi-bound)
states for in , corresponding to the four
states in . However, the inversion of level ordering
between the spectra of and , i.e. that the
and states in correspond to the
and states in , respectively, is shown to occur. The
additional particle reduces sizes of the and states
in very much, but the shrinkage of the state is
only a half of the other states. In conclusion, the Hoyle state becomes quite a
compact object with configuration in
and is no more gaslike state composed of the
clusters. Instead, the state in , coming from the
state, appears as a gaslike state composed of
configuration, i.e. the Hoyle analog
state. A linear-chain state in a hypernucleus is for the first time
predicted to exist as the state in with more
shrunk arrangement of the clusters along -axis than the
linear-chain configuration realized in the state.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, figures rearranged, accepted for publication in

Ferrimagnetic spin-1/2 chain of alternating Ising and Heisenberg spins in arbitrarily oriented magnetic field
The ferrimagnetic spin-1/2 chain composed of alternating Ising and Heisenberg
spins in an arbitrarily oriented magnetic field is exactly solved using the
spin-rotation transformation and the transfer-matrix method. It is shown that
the low-temperature magnetization process depends basically on a spatial
orientation of the magnetic field. A sharp stepwise magnetization curve with a
marked intermediate plateau, which emerges for the magnetic field applied along
the easy-axis direction of the Ising spins, becomes smoother and the
intermediate plateau shrinks if the external field is tilted from the easy-axis
direction. The magnetization curve of a polycrystalline system is also
calculated by performing powder averaging of the derived magnetization formula.
The proposed spin-chain model brings an insight into high-field magnetization
data of 3d-4f bimetallic polymeric compound Dy(NO_3)(DMSO)_2Cu(opba)(DMSO)_2,
which provides an interesting experimental realization of the ferrimagnetic
chain composed of two different but regularly alternating spin-1/2 magnetic
ions Dy^{3+} and Cu^{2+} that are reasonably approximated by the notion of
Ising and Heisenberg spins, respectively.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
Chemical potential jump between hole- and electron-doped sides of ambipolar high-Tc cuprate
In order to study an intrinsic chemical potential jump between the hole- and
electron-doped high-Tc superconductors, we have performed core-level X-ray
photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) measurements of Y0.38La0.62Ba1.74La0.26Cu3Oy
(YLBLCO), into which one can dope both holes and electrons with maintaining the
same crystal structure. Unlike the case between the hole-doped system
La_2-xSrxCuO4 and the electron-doped system Nd_2-xCexCuO4, we have estimated
the true chemical potential jump between the hole- and electron-doped YLBLCO to
be ~0.8 eV, which is much smaller than the optical gaps of 1.4-1.7 eV reported
for the parent insulating compounds. We attribute the reduced jump to the
indirect nature of the charge-excitation gap as well as to the polaronic nature
of the doped carriers.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
On the generalized Freedman-Townsend model
Consistent interactions that can be added to a free, Abelian gauge theory
comprising a finite collection of BF models and a finite set of two-form gauge
fields (with the Lagrangian action written in first-order form as a sum of
Abelian Freedman-Townsend models) are constructed from the deformation of the
solution to the master equation based on specific cohomological techniques.
Under the hypotheses of smoothness in the coupling constant, locality, Lorentz
covariance, and Poincare invariance of the interactions, supplemented with the
requirement on the preservation of the number of derivatives on each field with
respect to the free theory, we obtain that the deformation procedure modifies
the Lagrangian action, the gauge transformations as well as the accompanying
algebra. The interacting Lagrangian action contains a generalized version of
non-Abelian Freedman-Townsend model. The consistency of interactions to all
orders in the coupling constant unfolds certain equations, which are shown to
have solutions.Comment: LaTeX, 62 page
Theoretical Description of Resistive Behavior near a Quantum Vortex-Glass Transition
Resistive behaviors at nonzero temperatures (T > 0) reflecting a quantum
vortex-glass (VG) transition (the so-called field-tuned
superconductor-insulator transition at T=0) are studied based on a quantum
Ginzburg-Landau (GL) action for a s-wave pairing case containing microscopic
details. The ordinary dissipative dynamics of the pair-field is assumed on the
basis of a consistency between the fluctuation conductance terms excluded from
GL approach and an observed negative magnetoresistance. It is shown that the VG
contribution, G_{vg}(B=B_{vg}, T \to 0),to 2D fluctuation conductance at the VG
transition field B_{vg} depends on the strength of a repulsive-interaction
between electrons and takes a universal value only in the ordinary dirty limit
neglecting the electron-repulsion. Available resistivity data near B_{vg} are
discussed based on our results, and extensions to the cases of a d-wave pairing
and of 3D systems are briefly commented on.Comment: Explanation of data in strongly disordered case, as well as Fig.2 and
3, was renewed, and comments on recent publications were added. To appear in

Self-interactions in a topological BF-type model in D=5
All consistent interactions in five spacetime dimensions that can be added to
a free BF-type model involving one scalar field, two types of one-forms, two
sorts of two-forms, and one three-form are investigated by means of deforming
the solution to the master equation with the help of specific cohomological
techniques. The couplings are obtained on the grounds of smoothness, locality,
(background) Lorentz invariance, Poincar\'{e} invariance, and the preservation
of the number of derivatives on each field.Comment: LaTeX, 57 pages, final version, matching the published pape
QP-Structures of Degree 3 and 4D Topological Field Theory
A A BV algebra and a QP-structure of degree 3 is formulated. A QP-structure
of degree 3 gives rise to Lie algebroids up to homotopy and its algebraic and
geometric structure is analyzed. A new algebroid is constructed, which derives
a new topological field theory in 4 dimensions by the AKSZ construction.Comment: 17 pages, Some errors and typos have been correcte
Topological Field Theories and Geometry of Batalin-Vilkovisky Algebras
The algebraic and geometric structures of deformations are analyzed
concerning topological field theories of Schwarz type by means of the
Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. Deformations of the Chern-Simons-BF theory in
three dimensions induces the Courant algebroid structure on the target space as
a sigma model. Deformations of BF theories in dimensions are also analyzed.
Two dimensional deformed BF theory induces the Poisson structure and three
dimensional deformed BF theory induces the Courant algebroid structure on the
target space as a sigma model. The deformations of BF theories in
dimensions induce the structures of Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras on the target
space.Comment: 25 page
