Yang-Mills theory constructed from Cho--Faddeev--Niemi decomposition
We give a new way of looking at the Cho--Faddeev--Niemi (CFN) decomposition
of the Yang-Mills theory to answer how the enlarged local gauge symmetry
respected by the CFN variables is restricted to obtain another Yang-Mills
theory with the same local and global gauge symmetries as the original
Yang-Mills theory. This may shed new light on the fundamental issue of the
discrepancy between two theories for independent degrees of freedom and the
role of the Maximal Abelian gauge in Yang-Mills theory. As a byproduct, this
consideration gives new insight into the meaning of the gauge invariance and
the observables, e.g., a gauge-invariant mass term and vacuum condensates of
mass dimension two. We point out the implications for the Skyrme--Faddeev
model.Comment: 17pages, 1 figure; English improved; a version appeared in Prog.

UV and X-ray Spectral Lines of FeXXIII Ion for Plasma Diagnostics
We have calculated X-ray and UV spectra of Be-like Fe (FeXXIII) ion in
collisional-radiative model including all fine-structure transitions among the
2s^2, 2s2p, 2p^2, 2snl, and 2pnl levels where n=3 and 4, adopting data for the
collision strengths by Zhang & Sampson (1992) and by Sampson, Goett, & Clark
(1984). Some line intensity ratios can be used for the temperature diagnostics.
We show 5 ratios in UV region and 9 ratios in X-ray region as a function of
electron temperature and density at 0.3keV < T_e < 10keV and . The effect of cascade in these line ratios and in the level
population densities are discussed.Comment: LaTeX, 18 pages, 10 Postscript figures. To appear in Physica Script
1D Modeling for Temperature-Dependent Upflow in the Dimming Region Observed by Hinode/EIS
We have previously found a temperature-dependent upflow in the dimming region
following a coronal mass ejection (CME) observed by the {\it Hinode} EUV
Imaging Spectrometer (EIS). In this paper, we reanalyzed the observations along
with previous work on this event, and provided boundary conditions for
modeling. We found that the intensity in the dimming region dramatically drops
within 30 minutes from the flare onset, and the dimming region reaches the
equilibrium stage after 1 hour later. The temperature-dependent upflows
were observed during the equilibrium stage by EIS. The cross sectional area of
the fluxtube in the dimming region does not appear to expand significantly.
From the observational constraints, we reconstructed the temperature-dependent
upflow by using a new method which considers the mass and momentum conservation
law, and demonstrated the height variation of plasma conditions in the dimming
region. We found that a super radial expansion of the cross sectional area is
required to satisfy the mass conservation and momentum equations. There is a
steep temperature and velocity gradient of around 7 Mm from the solar surface.
This result may suggest that the strong heating occurred above 7 Mm from the
solar surface in the dimming region. We also showed that the ionization
equilibrium assumption in the dimming region is violated especially in the
higher temperature range.Comment: accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journa
Solving the Schwinger-Dyson Equations for Gluodynamics in the Maximal Abelian Gauge
We derive the Schwinger-Dyson equations for the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in
the maximal Abelian gauge and solve them in the infrared asymptotic region. We
find that the infrared asymptotic solutions for the gluon and ghost propagators
are consistent with the hypothesis of Abelian dominance.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure; Lattice2003(topology
Giant Intrinsic Spin and Orbital Hall Effects in Sr2MO4 (M=Ru,Rh,Mo)
We investigate the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity (SHC) and the d-orbital
Hall conductivity (OHC) in metallic d-electron systems, by focusing on the
t_{2g}-orbital tight-binding model for Sr2MO4 (M=Ru,Rh,Mo). The conductivities
obtained are one or two orders of magnitude larger than predicted values for
p-type semiconductors with 5% hole doping. The origin of these giant Hall
effects is the ``effective Aharonov-Bohm phase'' that is induced by the
d-atomic angular momentum in connection with the spin-orbit interaction and the
inter-orbital hopping integrals. The huge SHC and OHC generated by this
mechanism are expected to be ubiquitous in multiorbital transition metal
complexes, which pens the possibility of realizing spintronics as well as
orbitronics devices.Comment: 5 pages, accepted for publication in PR
