Ising Spin Glasses on Wheatstone-Bridge Hierarchical Lattices
Nearest-neighbor-interaction Ising spin glasses are studied on three
different hierarchical lattices, all of them belonging to the Wheatstone-Bridge
family. It is shown that the spin-glass lower critical dimension in these
lattices should be greater than 2.32. Finite-temperature spin-glass phases are
found for a lattice of fractal dimension (whose unit cell is
obtained from a simple construction of a part of the cubic lattice), as well as
for a lattice of fractal dimension close to five.Comment: Accepted for publication in Physics Letters
On Non-Linear W-Infinity Symmetry of Generalized Liouville and Conformal Toda Models
Invariance under non-linear algebra is shown for
the two-boson Liouville type of model and its algebraic generalizations, the
extended conformal Toda models. The realization of the corresponding generators
in terms of two boson currents within KP hierarchy is presented.Comment: 10 pgs, LaTeX, IFT-P.038/9
Photon-Photon Scattering, Pion Polarizability and Chiral Symmetry
Recent attempts to detect the pion polarizability via analysis of
measurements are examined. The connection
between calculations based on dispersion relations and on chiral perturbation
theory is established by matching the low energy chiral amplitude with that
given by a full dispersive treatment. Using the values for the polarizability
required by chiral symmetry, predicted and experimental cross sections are
shown to be in agreement.Comment: 21 pages(+10 figures available on request), LATEX, UMHEP-38
Toda and Volterra Lattice Equations from Discrete Symmetries of KP Hierarchies
The discrete models of the Toda and Volterra chains are being constructed out
of the continuum two-boson KP hierarchies. The main tool is the discrete
symmetry preserving the Hamiltonian structure of the continuum models. The
two-boson currents of KP hierarchy are being associated with sites of the
corresponding chain by successive actions of discrete symmetry.Comment: 12 pgs, LaTeX, IFT-P.041/9
On Two-Current Realization of KP Hierarchy
A simple description of the KP hierarchy and its multi-hamiltonian structure
is given in terms of two Bose currents. A deformation scheme connecting various
W-infinity algebras and relation between two fundamental nonlinear structures
are discussed. Properties of Fa\'a di Bruno polynomials are extensively
explored in this construction. Applications of our method are given for the
Conformal Affine Toda model, WZNW models and discrete KP approach to Toda
lattice chain.Comment: 28 pages, IFT-P/020/92-SAO-PAULO, Late
Parton distribution function uncertainties and nuclear corrections for the LHC
We study nuclear effects of charged current deep inelastic neutrino-iron scattering in the framework of a chi^2 analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs). We extract a set of iron PDFs which are used to compute x_Bj-dependent and Q^2-dependent nuclear correction factors for iron structure functions which are required in global analyses of free nucleon PDFs. We compare our results with nuclear correction factors from neutrino-nucleus scattering models and correction factors for charged lepton-iron scattering. We find that, except for very high x_Bj, our correction factors differ in both shape and magnitude from the correction factors of the models and charged-lepton scattering
Observations of temporal group delays in slow-light multiple coupled photonic crystal cavities
We demonstrate temporal group delays in coherently-coupled high-Q multi-cavity photonic crystals, in an all-optical analogue to electromagnetically induced transparency. We report deterministic control of the group delay up to 4Ă the single cavity lifetime in our CMOS-fabricated room-temperature chip. Supported by three-dimensional numerical simulations and theoretical analyses, our multi-pump beam approach enables control of the multi-cavity resonances and inter-cavity phase, in both single and double transparency peaks. The standing-wave wavelength-scale photon localization allows direct scalability for chip-scale optical pulse trapping and coupled-cavity QED
Bethe--Salpeter equation in QCD
We extend to regular QCD the derivation of a confining
Bethe--Salpeter equation previously given for the simplest model of scalar QCD
in which quarks are treated as spinless particles. We start from the same
assumptions on the Wilson loop integral already adopted in the derivation of a
semirelativistic heavy quark potential. We show that, by standard
approximations, an effective meson squared mass operator can be obtained from
our BS kernel and that, from this, by expansion the
corresponding Wilson loop potential can be reobtained, spin--dependent and
velocity--dependent terms included. We also show that, on the contrary,
neglecting spin--dependent terms, relativistic flux tube model is reproduced.Comment: 23 pages, revte
Detecting the intermediate-mass Higgs boson through the associate production channel pp --> t + anti-t + H + X
We examine the detection of the intermediate-mass Higgs boson (IMH) at LHC
through the associate production channel pp-->t+(anti-t)+H+X-->l+photon+
photon+X'. It is shown that by applying kinematic cuts or b-tagging on the
final state jets, the main backgrounds of W(-->l+nu)+photon+photon+(n-jet) can
be reduced substantially without significant loss of signals. It is possible to
detect the Higgs boson at LHC through the pp-->t+(anti-t)+H+X channel using a
modest photon detector with mass resolution of about 3% of the photon pair
invariant mass.Comment: 10 pages, standard LaTex fil
A Closed Class of Hydrodynamical Solutions for the Collective Excitations of a Bose-Einstein Condensate
A trajectory approach is taken to the hydrodynamical treatment of collective
excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a harmonic trap. The excitations
induced by linear deformations of the trap are shown to constitute a broad
class of solutions that can be fully described by a simple nonlinear matrix
equation. An exact closed-form expression is obtained for the solution
describing the mode {n=0, m=2} in a cylindrically symmetric trap, and the
calculated amplitude-dependent frequency shift shows good agreement with the
experimental results of the JILA group.Comment: RevTex, 4 pages, 1 eps figure, identical to the published versio
