Large-N analysis of (2+1)-dimensional Thirring model
We analyze -dimensional vector-vector type four-Fermi interaction
(Thirring) model in the framework of the expansion. By solving the
Dyson-Schwinger equation in the large- limit, we show that in the
two-component formalism the fermions acquire parity-violating mass dynamically
in the range of the dimensionless coupling , . The symmetry
breaking pattern is, however, in a way to conserve the overall parity of the
theory such that the Chern-Simons term is not induced at any orders in .
turns out to be a non-perturbative UV-fixed point in . The
function is calculated to be
near the fixed point, and the UV-fixed point and the function are shown
exact in the expansion.Comment: 14 pages Latex. (Revised version: some changes have been made and

BFT Hamiltonian embedding for SU(3) Skyrmion
We newly apply the Batalin, Fradkin and Tyutin (BFT) formalism to the SU(3)
flavor Skyrmion model to investigate the Weyl ordering correction to the
structure of the hyperfine splittings of strange baryons. On the other hand,
the Berry phases and Casimir effects are also discussed.Comment: 14 pages, modified titl
Experimental observation of hidden Berry curvature in inversion-symmetric bulk 2H-WSe2
We investigate the hidden Berry curvature in bulk 2H-WSe2 by utilizing the
surface sensitivity of angle resolved photoemission (ARPES). The symmetry in
the electronic structure of transition metal dichalcogenides is used to
uniquely determine the local orbital angular momentum (OAM) contribution to the
circular dichroism (CD) in ARPES. The extracted CD signals for the K and K'
valleys are almost identical but their signs, which should be determined by the
valley index, are opposite. In addition, the sign is found to be the same for
the two spin-split bands, indicating that it is independent of spin state.
These observed CD behaviors are what are expected from Berry curvature of a
monolayer of WSe2. In order to see if CD-ARPES is indeed representative of
hidden Berry curvature within a layer, we use tight binding analysis as well as
density functional calculation to calculate the Berry curvature and local OAM
of a monolayer WSe2. We find that measured CD-ARPES is approximately
proportional to the calculated Berry curvature as well as local OAM, further
supporting our interpretation.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Spontaneous phase oscillation induced by inertia and time delay
We consider a system of coupled oscillators with finite inertia and
time-delayed interaction, and investigate the interplay between inertia and
delay both analytically and numerically. The phase velocity of the system is
examined; revealed in numerical simulations is emergence of spontaneous phase
oscillation without external driving, which turns out to be in good agreement
with analytical results derived in the strong-coupling limit. Such
self-oscillation is found to suppress synchronization and its frequency is
observed to decrease with inertia and delay. We obtain the phase diagram, which
displays oscillatory and stationary phases in the appropriate regions of the
parameters.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, to pe published in PR
