Three Dimensional Topological Field Theory induced from Generalized Complex Structure
We construct a three-dimensional topological sigma model which is induced
from a generalized complex structure on a target generalized complex manifold.
This model is constructed from maps from a three-dimensional manifold to an
arbitrary generalized complex manifold . The theory is invariant under the
diffeomorphism on the world volume and the -transformation on the
generalized complex structure. Moreover the model is manifestly invariant under
the mirror symmetry. We derive from this model the Zucchini's two dimensional
topological sigma model with a generalized complex structure as a boundary
action on . As a special case, we obtain three dimensional
realization of a WZ-Poisson manifold.Comment: 18 page
High field superconducting phase diagrams including Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov vortex states
Motivated by a striking observation of a Fulde-Ferell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov
(FFLO) vortex state in the heavy fermion material CeCoIn5 in fields {\it
perpendicular} to the superconducting planes (),
superconducting phase diagrams including an FFLO state of quasi two-dimensional
(Q2D) superconductors are systematically studied. In the clean {\it limit}, the
high field superconducting state in the low temperature limit should be not the
FFLO state modulating along , appeared in CeCoIn5 in both and , but a different vortex state with a
modulation, induced by the paramagnetism, perpendicular to the field. It is
found that the presence of weak impurities is the origin of the absence in
CeCoIn5 of the latter state and leads to the phase
diagram, as seen in CeCoIn5, {\it apparently} different in character from that
in .Comment: A reference was updated. To appear in Phys. Rev.
An Alternative Topological Field Theory of Generalized Complex Geometry
We propose a new topological field theory on generalized complex geometry in
two dimension using AKSZ formulation. Zucchini's model is model in the case
that the generalized complex structuredepends on only a symplectic structure.
Our new model is model in the case that the generalized complex structure
depends on only a complex structure.Comment: 29 pages, typos and references correcte
Josephson Vortex States in Intermediate Fields
Motivated by recent resistance data in high superconductors in fields
{\it parallel} to the CuO layers, we address two issues on the Josephson-vortex
phase diagram, the appearances of structural transitions on the observed first
order transition (FOT) curve in intermediate fields and of a lower critical
point of the FOT line. It is found that some rotated pinned solids are more
stable than the ordinary rhombic pinned solids with vacant interlayer spacings
and that, due to the vertical portion in higher fields of the FOT line, the FOT
tends to be destroyed by creating a lower critical point.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures. To appear in J.Phys.Soc.Jpn. 71, No.2 (February,

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

Effect of in-plane line defects on field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition behavior in homogeneous thin film
Field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition (FSIT) behavior in 2D
isotropic and homogeneous thin films is usually accompanied by a nonvanishing
critical resistance at low . It is shown that, in a 2D film including line
defects paralle to each other but with random positions perpendicular to them,
the (apparent) critical resistance in low limit vanishes, as in the 1D
quantum superconducting (SC) transition, under a current parallel to the line
defects. This 1D-like critical resistive behavior is more clearly seen in
systems with weaker point disorder and may be useful in clarifying whether the
true origin of FSIT behavior in the parent superconductor is the glass
fluctuation or the quantum SC fluctuation. As a by-product of the present
calculation, it is also pointed out that, in 2D films with line-like defects
with a long but {\it finite} correlation length parallel to the lines, a
quantum metallic behavior intervening the insulating and SC ones appears in the
resistivity curves.Comment: 16 pages, 14 figure
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
Microscopic Study of Quantum Vortex-Glass Transition Field in Two-Dimensional Superconductors
The position of a field-tuned superconductor-insulator quantum transition
occuring in disordered thin films is examined within the mean field
approximation. Our calculation shows that the microscopic disorder-induced
reduction of the quantum transition point found experimentally cannot be
explained if the interplay between the disorder and an electron-electron
repulsive interaction is ignored. This work is presented as a microscopic basis
of an explanation (cond-mat/0105122) of resistive phenomena near the transition
field.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures. To appear in J.Phys.Soc.Jp
Thermal fluctuations and disorder effects in vortex lattices
We calculate using loop expansion the effect of fluctuations on the structure
function and magnetization of the vortex lattice and compare it with existing
MC results. In addition to renormalization of the height of the Bragg peaks of
the structure function, there appears a characteristic saddle shape ''halos''
around the peaks. The effect of disorder on magnetization is also calculated.
All the infrared divergencies related to soft shear cancel.Comment: 10 pages, revtex file, one figur
Uniaxial-Pressure induced Ferromagnetism of Enhanced Paramagnetic Sr3Ru2O7
We report a uniaxial pressure-dependence of magnetism in layered perovskite
strontium ruthenate Sr3Ru2O7. By applying a relatively small uniaxial pressure,
greater than 0.1 GPa normal to the RuO2 layer, ferromagnetic ordering manifests
below 80 K from the enhanced-paramagnet. Magnetization at 1 kOe and 2 K becomes
100 times larger than that under ambient condition. Uniaxial pressure
dependence of Curie temperature T_C suggests the first order magnetic
transition. Origin of this uniaxial-pressure induced ferromagnetism is
discussed in terms of the rotation of RuO6 octahedra within the RuO2 plane.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures. to be published in Journal of the Physical
