Three Body Interactions, Angular Momentum and Black Hole Moduli Spaces
We investigate the dynamics of a pair of (4+1)-dimensional black holes in the
moduli approximation and with fixed angular momentum. We find that spinning
black holes at small separations are described by the de Alfaro, Fubini and
Furlan model. For more than two black holes, we find an explicit expression for
the three-body interactions in the moduli metric by associating them with the
one-loop three-point amplitude of a four-dimensional theory. We also
investigate the dynamics of a three black hole system in various
approximations.Comment: 20 pages, phyzz
Unitarity Cuts with Massive Propagators and Algebraic Expressions for Coefficients
In the first part of this paper, we extend the d-dimensional unitarity cut
method of hep-ph/0609191 to cases with massive propagators. We present formulas
for integral reduction with which one can obtain coefficients of all pentagon,
box, triangle and massive bubble integrals. In the second part of this paper,
we present a detailed study of the phase space integration for unitarity cuts.
We carry out spinor integration in generality and give algebraic expressions
for coefficients, intended for automated evaluation.Comment: 33 pages. v2: notation modified. v3: typos fixe

Superconformal Black Hole Quantum Mechanics
In recent work, the superconformal quantum mechanics describing D0 branes in
the AdS_2xS^2xCY_3 attractor geometry of a Calabi-Yau black hole with D4 brane
charges p^A has been constructed and found to contain a large degeneracy of
chiral primary bound states. In this paper it is shown that the asymptotic
growth of chiral primaries for N D0 branes exactly matches the
Bekenstein-Hawking area law for a black hole with D4 brane charge p^A and D0
brane charge N. This large degeneracy arises from D0 branes in lowest Landau
levels which tile the CY_3xS^2 horizon. It is conjectured that such a multi-D0
brane CFT1 is holographically dual to IIA string theory on AdS_2xS^2xCY_3.Comment: 8 page
Renormalizability of N=1/2 Wess-Zumino model in superspace
In this letter we use the spurion field approach adopted in hep-th/0307099 in
order to show that by adding F and F^2 terms to the original lagrangian, the
N=1/2 Wess-Zumino model is renormalizable to all orders in perturbation theory.
We reformulate in superspace language the proof given in the recent work
hep-th/0307165 in terms of component fields.Comment: 8 pages, minor change
Quantitative validation of PEDFLOW for description of unidirectional pedestrian dynamics
The results of a systematic quantitative validation of PEDFLOW based on the
experimental data from FZJ are presented. Unidirectional flow experiments,
totaling 28 different combinations with varying entry, corridor and exit
widths, were considered. The condition imposed on PEDFLOW was that all the
cases should be run with the same input parameters. The exit times and
fundamental diagrams for the measuring region were evaluated and compared. This
validation process led to modifications and enhancements of the model
underlying PEDFLOW. The preliminary conclusions indicate that the results agree
well for densities smaller than 3 m-2 and a good agreement is observed even at
high densities for the corridors with bcor = 2.4 m, and bcor = 3.0 m. For
densities between 1 and 2 m-2 the specific flow and velocities are
underpredicted by PEDFLOW.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, 1 Table, conference PED201
