Vertex Operators in 4D Quantum Gravity Formulated as CFT
We study vertex operators in 4D conformal field theory derived from quantized
gravity, whose dynamics is governed by the Wess-Zumino action by Riegert and
the Weyl action. Conformal symmetry is equal to diffeomorphism symmetry in the
ultraviolet limit, which mixes positive-metric and negative-metric modes of the
gravitational field and thus these modes cannot be treated separately in
physical operators. In this paper, we construct gravitational vertex operators
such as the Ricci scalar, defined as space-time volume integrals of them are
invariant under conformal transformations. Short distance singularities of
these operator products are computed and it is shown that their coefficients
have physically correct sign. Furthermore, we show that conformal algebra holds
even in the system perturbed by the cosmological constant vertex operator as in
the case of the Liouville theory shown by Curtright and Thorn.Comment: 26 pages, rewrote review part concisely, added explanation
Recursion Relations in Liouville Gravity coupled to Ising Model satisfying Fusion Rules
The recursion relations of 2D quantum gravity coupled to the Ising model
discussed by the author previously are reexamined. We study the case in which
the matter sector satisfies the fusion rules and only the primary operators
inside the Kac table contribute. The theory involves unregularized divergences
in some of correlators. We obtain the recursion relations which form a closed
set among well-defined correlators on sphere, but they do not have a beautiful
structure that the bosonized theory has and also give an inconsistent result
when they include an ill-defined correlator with the divergence. We solve them
and compute the several normalization independent ratios of the well-defined
correlators, which agree with the matrix model results.Comment: Latex, 22 page
Making a Universe
For understanding the origin of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave
background, rules to construct a quantized universe is proposed based on the
dynamical triangulation method of the simplicial quantum gravity. A
-dimensional universe having the topology is created numerically in
terms of a simplicial manifold with -simplices as the building blocks. The
space coordinates of a universe are identified on the boundary surface , and the time coordinate is defined along the direction perpendicular
to . Numerical simulations are made mainly for 2-dimensional
universes, and analyzed to examine appropriateness of the construction rules by
comparing to analytic results of the matrix model and the Liouville theory.
Furthermore, a simulation in 4-dimension is made, and the result suggests an
ability to analyze the observations on anisotropies by comparing to the scalar
curvature correlation of a -surface formed as the last scattering
surface in the universe.Comment: 27pages,18figures,using jpsj.st
Electronic states of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes with bond and site disorder
Disorder effects on the density of states in carbon nanotubes are analyzed by
a tight binding model with Gaussian bond or site disorder. Metallic armchair
and semiconducting zigzag nanotubes are investigated. In the strong disorder
limit, the conduction and valence band states merge, and a finite density of
states appears at the Fermi energy in both of metallic and semiconducting
carbon nanotubes. The bond disorder gives rise to a huge density of states at
the Fermi energy differently from that of the site disorder case. Consequences
for experiments are discussed.Comment: Phys. Rev. B: Brief Reports (to be published). Related preprints can

Non-linear Structures in Non-critical NSR String
We investigate the Ward identities of the \W_{\infty} symmetry in the
super-Liouville theory coupled to the super-conformal matter of central charge
. The theory is classified into two chiralities.
For the positive chirality, all gravitationally dressed scaling operators are
generated from the gravitational primaries by acting one of the ring
generators in the R-sector on them repeatedly. After fixing the normalizations
of the dressed scaling operators, we find that the Ward identities are
expressed in the form of the {\it usual} \W_q algebra constraints as in the
bosonic case: \W^{(k+1)}_n \tau =0, , where the equations for even and odd come from the currents in the
NS- and the R-sector respectively. The non-linear terms come from the anomalous
contributions at the boundaries of moduli space. The negative chirality is
defined by interchanging the roles of and . Then we get the \W_p
algebra constraints.Comment: 22 pages, Latex file, YITP/U-94-16, UT-Komaba/94-1
Dimerization structures on the metallic and semiconducting fullerene tubules with half-filled electrons
Possible dimerization patterns and electronic structures in fullerene tubules
as the one-dimensional pi-conjugated systems are studied with the extended
Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We assume various lattice geometries, including
helical and nonhelical tubules. The model is solved for the half-filling case
of -electrons. (1) When the undimerized systems do not have a gap, the
Kekule structures prone to occur. The energy gap is of the order of the room
temperatures at most and metallic properties would be expected. (2) If the
undimerized systems have a large gap (about 1eV), the most stable structures
are the chain-like distortions where the direction of the arranged
trans-polyacetylene chains is along almost the tubular axis. The electronic
structures are ofsemiconductors due to the large gap.Comment: submitted to Phys. Rev. B, pages 15, figures 1
Renormalizable 4D Quantum Gravity as A Perturbed Theory from CFT
We study the renormalizable quantum gravity formulated as a perturbed theory
from conformal field theory (CFT) on the basis of conformal gravity in four
dimensions. The conformal mode in the metric field is managed
non-perturbatively without introducing its own coupling constant so that
conformal symmetry becomes exact quantum mechanically as a part of
diffeomorphism invariance. The traceless tensor mode is handled in the
perturbation with a dimensionless coupling constant indicating asymptotic
freedom, which measures a degree of deviation from CFT. There are no massive
ghosts because they are not gauge invariant in this formulation. Higher order
renormalization is carried out using dimensional regularization, in which the
Wess-Zumino integrability condition is applied to reduce indefiniteness
existing in higher-derivative actions. The effective action of quantum gravity
improved by renormalization group is obtained. We then make clear that
conformal anomalies are indispensable quantities to preserve diffeomorphism
invariance. Anomalous scaling dimensions of the cosmological constant and the
Planck mass are calculated. The effective cosmological constant is obtained in
the large number limit of matter fields.Comment: 51 pages, 12 figure
Teleportation and entanglement distillation in the presence of correlation among bipartite mixed states
The teleportation channel associated with an arbitrary bipartite state
denotes the map that represents the change suffered by a teleported state when
the bipartite state is used instead of the ideal maximally entangled state for
teleportation. This work presents and proves an explicit expression of the
teleportation channel for the teleportation using Weyl's projective unitary
representation of the space of 2n-tuples of numbers from Z/dZ for integers d>1,
n>0, which has been known for n=1. This formula allows any correlation among
the n bipartite mixed states, and an application shows the existence of
reliable schemes for distillation of entanglement from a sequence of mixed
states with correlation.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur
RNA secondary structure prediction from multi-aligned sequences
It has been well accepted that the RNA secondary structures of most
functional non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are closely related to their functions and
are conserved during evolution. Hence, prediction of conserved secondary
structures from evolutionarily related sequences is one important task in RNA
bioinformatics; the methods are useful not only to further functional analyses
of ncRNAs but also to improve the accuracy of secondary structure predictions
and to find novel functional RNAs from the genome. In this review, I focus on
common secondary structure prediction from a given aligned RNA sequence, in
which one secondary structure whose length is equal to that of the input
alignment is predicted. I systematically review and classify existing tools and
algorithms for the problem, by utilizing the information employed in the tools
and by adopting a unified viewpoint based on maximum expected gain (MEG)
estimators. I believe that this classification will allow a deeper
understanding of each tool and provide users with useful information for
selecting tools for common secondary structure predictions.Comment: A preprint of an invited review manuscript that will be published in
