Field Theoretical Quantum Effects on the Kerr Geometry
We study quantum aspects of the Einstein gravity with one time-like and one
space-like Killing vector commuting with each other. The theory is formulated
as a \coset nonlinear -model coupled to gravity. The quantum analysis
of the nonlinear -model part, which includes all the dynamical degrees
of freedom, can be carried out in a parallel way to ordinary nonlinear
-models in spite of the existence of an unusual coupling. This means
that we can investigate consistently the quantum properties of the Einstein
gravity, though we are limited to the fluctuations depending only on two
coordinates. We find the forms of the beta functions to all orders up to
numerical coefficients. Finally we consider the quantum effects of the
renormalization on the Kerr black hole as an example. It turns out that the
asymptotically flat region remains intact and stable, while, in a certain
approximation, it is shown that the inner geometry changes considerably however
small the quantum effects may be.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX. The hep-th number added on the cover, and minor

Rotational Surfaces in and Solutions in the Nonlinear Sigma Model
The Gauss map of non-degenerate surfaces in the three-dimensional Minkowski
space are viewed as dynamical fields of the two-dimensional O(2,1) Nonlinear
Sigma Model. In this setting, the moduli space of solutions with rotational
symmetry is completely determined. Essentially, the solutions are warped
products of orbits of the 1-dimensional groups of isometries and elastic curves
in either a de Sitter plane, a hyperbolic plane or an anti de Sitter plane. The
main tools are the equivalence of the two-dimensional O(2,1) Nonlinear Sigma
Model and the Willmore problem, and the description of the surfaces with
rotational symmetry. A complete classification of such surfaces is obtained in
this paper. Indeed, a huge new family of Lorentzian rotational surfaces with a
space-like axis is presented. The description of this new class of surfaces is
based on a technique of surgery and a gluing process, which is illustrated by
an algorithm.Comment: PACS: 11.10.Lm; 11.10.Ef; 11.15.-q; 11.30.-j; 02.30.-f; 02.40.-k. 45

European Constitution and National Constitution
Preface
"The history of the question of alliance, integration, and unification of European states along different lines reaches far back. We only have to mention I. Kant and J. C. Bluntschli, who saw the future of Europe in establishing a union of its states based on the rule of law. It was on the grounds of freedom and republican democracy that J. Lorimer of Edinburgh envisaged the possibility of uniting European states. Much like him, Polish thinkers too, including A. Mickiewicz, B. Limanowski, and K. Kelles-Krauz, believed that Europe would unite as soon as its constituent states were driven by shared ideals of freedom and republican democracy."(...

Political and Legal Considerations Regarding the Negotiation of the Future UK-EU Security Relationship
In this chapter, the authors analyse potential transitional arrangements, discussing the possibilities of substantial delays inâor the no conclusion ofâa security agreement, alternative models to the UK-EU relationship, dispute resolution and enforcement mechanisms in light of the UK Governmentâs red line on CJEU jurisdiction, and the UKâs potential reduced influence on future EU internal security
