Neutrino mixing in the seesaw model
In the seesaw model with hierarchical Dirac masses, the neutrino mixing angle
exhibits the behavior of a narrow resonance. In general, the angle is strongly
suppressed, but it can be maximal for special parameter values. We delineate
the small regions in which this happens, for the two flavor problem. On the
other hand, the physical neutrino masses are hierarchical, in general, except
in a large part of the region in which the mixing angle is sizable, where they
are nearly degenerate. Our general analysis is also applicable to the RGE of
neutrino mass matrix, where we find analytic solutions for the running of
physical parameters, in addition to a complex RGE invariant relating them. It
is also shown that, if one mixing angle is small, the three neutrino problem
reduces to two, two flavor problems.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures; added new sections on RGE effects and universal

Adhesion-induced lateral phase separation of multi-component membranes: the effect of repellers and confinement
We present a theoretical study for adhesion-induced lateral phase separation
for a membrane with short stickers, long stickers and repellers confined
between two hard walls. The effects of confinement and repellers on lateral
phase separation are investigated. We find that the critical potential depth of
the stickers for lateral phase separation increases as the distance between the
hard walls decreases. This suggests confinement-induced or force-induced mixing
of stickers. We also find that stiff repellers tend to enhance, while soft
repellers tend to suppress adhesion-induced lateral phase separation
Data science & digital society
Data Science looks at raw numbers and informational objects created by different disciplines. The Digital Society creates information and numbers from many scientiHic disciplines. The amassment of data though makes is hard to Hind structures and requires a skill full analysis of this massive raw material. The thoughts presented here on DS2 - Data Science & Digital Society analyze these challenges and offers ways to handle the questions arising in this evolving context. We propose three levels of analysis and lay out how one can react to the challenges that come about. Concrete examples concern Credit default swaps, Dynamic Topic modeling, Crypto currencies and above all the quantitative analysis of real data in a DS2 context
Probing neutrino mass hierarchies and with supernova neutrinos
We investigate the feasibility of probing the neutrino mass hierarchy and the
mixing angle with the neutrino burst from a future supernova. An
inverse power-law density with varying is adopted in the
analysis as the density profile of a typical core-collapse supernova. The
survival probabilities of and are shown to reduce to
two-dimensional functions of and . It is found that in the
parameter space, the 3D plots of the probability
functions exhibit highly non-trivial structures that are sensitive to the mass
hierarchy, the mixing angle , and the value of . The conditions
that lead to observable differences in the 3D plots are established. With the
uncertainty of considered, a qualitative analysis of the Earth matter
effect is also included.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures. Ref [11] added, and some typos correcte
Varied Signature Splitting Phenomena in Odd Proton Nuclei
Varied signature splitting phenomena in odd proton rare earth nuclei are
investigated. Signature splitting as functions of and in the angular
momentum projection theory is explicitly shown and compared with those of the
particle rotor model. The observed deviations from these rules are due to the
band mixings. The recently measured Ta high spin data are taken as a
typical example where fruitful information about signature effects can be
extracted. Six bands, two of which have not yet been observed, were calculated
and discussed in detail in this paper. The experimentally unknown band head
energies are given
