Parameter in the Holographic Walking/Conformal Technicolor
We explicitly calculate the parameter in entire parameter space of the
holographic walking/conformal technicolor (W/C TC), based on the deformation of
the holographic QCD by varying the anomalous dimension from
through continuously. The parameter is given as a
positive monotonic function of which is fairly insensitive to
and continuously vanishes as when , where
is the vacuum expectation value of the bulk scalar field at the infrared
boundary of the 5th dimension and is related to the mass of (techni-)
meson () and the decay constant () as for . However, although is related to the
techni-fermion condensate \condense, we find no particular suppression of
and hence of due to large , based on the correct
identification of the renormalization-point dependence of \condense in
contrast to the literature. Then we argue possible behaviors of
as \condense \to 0 near the conformal window characterized by the Banks-Zaks
infrared fixed point in more explicit dynamics with . It is
a curious coincidence that the result from ladder Schwinger-Dyson and
Bethe-Salpeter equations well fits in the parameter space obtained in this
paper. When is realized, the holography suggests a novel
possibility that vanishes much faster than the dynamical mass does.Comment: typo, a version to be published in Progress of Theoretical Physic
Holographic Techni-dilaton
Techni-dilaton, a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of scale symmetry, was
predicted long ago in the Scale-invariant/Walking/Conformal Technicolor
(SWC-TC) as a remnant of the (approximate) scale symmetry associated with the
conformal fixed point, based on the conformal gauge dynamics of ladder
Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation with non-running coupling. We study the
techni-dilaton as a flavor-singlet bound state of techni-fermions by including
the techni-gluon condensate (tGC) effect into the previous (bottom-up)
holographic approach to the SWC-TC, a deformation of the holographic QCD with
by large anomalous dimension . With
including a bulk scalar field corresponding to the gluon condensate, we first
improve the Operator Product Expansion of the current correlators so as to
reproduce gluonic term both in QCD and SWC-TC. We find in QCD about
(negative) contribution of gluon condensate to the meson mass. We
also calculate the oblique electroweak -parameter in the presence of the
effect of the tGC and find that for the fixed value of the tGC effects
dramatically reduce the flavor-singlet scalar (techni-dilaton) mass (in the unit of ), while the vector and axial-vector masses
and are rather insensitive to the tGC, where is the
decay constant of the techni-pion. If we use the range of values of tGC implied
by the ladder SD analysis of the non-perturbative scale anomaly in the large
QCD near the conformal window, the phenomenological constraint predicts the techni-dilaton mass GeV which is within
reach of LHC discovery.Comment: 28 pages, 11 eps files, typos corrected, references added, Fig.1

Predictive Simulation for Surface Fault Occurrence Using High-Performance Computing
Numerical simulations based on continuum mechanics are promising methods for the estimation of surface fault displacements. We developed a parallel finite element method program to perform such simulations and applied the program to reproduce the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, where surface rupture was observed. We constructed an analysis model of the 5 × 5 × 1 km domain, including primary and secondary faults, and inputted the slip distribution of the primary fault, which was obtained through inversion analysis and the elastic theory of dislocation. The simulated slips on the surface were in good agreement with the observations. We then conducted a predictive simulation by inputting the slip distributions of the primary fault, which were determined using a strong ground motion prediction method for an earthquake with a specified source fault. In this simulation, no surface slip was induced in the sub-faults. A large surface slip area must be established near a sub-fault to induce the occurrence of a slip on the surface
