Domain walls in supersymmetric QCD
We consider domain walls that appear in supersymmetric SU(N) with one massive
flavour. In particular, for N > 3 we explicitly construct the elementary domain
wall that interpolates between two contiguous vacua. We show that these
solutions are BPS saturated for any value of the mass of the matter fields. We
also comment on their large N limit and their relevance for supersymmetric
gluodynamics.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, uses latex with hep99 class files. Presented at

Generations of orthogonal surface coordinates
Two generation methods were developed for three dimensional flows where the computational domain normal to the surface is small. With this restriction the coordinate system requires orthogonality only at the body surface. The first method uses the orthogonal condition in finite-difference form to determine the surface coordinates with the metric coefficients and curvature of the coordinate lines calculated numerically. The second method obtains analytical expressions for the metric coefficients and for the curvature of the coordinate lines
Modified Renormalization Strategy for Sandpile Models
Following the Renormalization Group scheme recently developed by Pietronero
{\it et al}, we introduce a simplifying strategy for the renormalization of the
relaxation dynamics of sandpile models. In our scheme, five sub-cells at a
generic scale form the renormalized cell at the next larger scale. Now the
fixed point has a unique nonzero dynamical component that allows for a great
simplification in the computation of the critical exponent . The values
obtained are in good agreement with both numerical and theoretical results
previously reported.Comment: APS style, 9 pages and 3 figures. To be published in Phys. Rev.
Finite size scaling of the bayesian perceptron
We study numerically the properties of the bayesian perceptron through a
gradient descent on the optimal cost function. The theoretical distribution of
stabilities is deduced. It predicts that the optimal generalizer lies close to
the boundary of the space of (error-free) solutions. The numerical simulations
are in good agreement with the theoretical distribution. The extrapolation of
the generalization error to infinite input space size agrees with the
theoretical results. Finite size corrections are negative and exhibit two
different scaling regimes, depending on the training set size. The variance of
the generalization error vanishes for confirming the
property of self-averaging.Comment: RevTeX, 7 pages, 7 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
