On the Ricci dark energy model
We study the Ricci dark energy model (RDE) which was introduced as an
alternative to the holographic dark energy model. We point out that an
accelerating phase of the RDE is that of a constant dark energy model. This
implies that the RDE may not be a new model of explaining the present
accelerating universe.Comment: 8 page
Thermoelectric effects in quantum dots
We report a numerical renormalization-group study of the thermoelectric
effect in the single-electron transistor (SET) and side-coupled geometries. As
expected, the computed thermal conductance and thermopower curves show
signatures of the Kondo effect and of Fano interference. The thermopower curves
are also affected by particle-hole asymmetry.Comment: 8 pages with 3 figures; accepted for publication in Physica B

Specific heat of two-dimensional diluted magnets
Using Monte Carlo techniques, the two-dimensional site-diluted Ising model is
studied. In particular, properties of the specific heat, its critical behaviour
and the emergence of a non-singular maximum above the transition temperature at
moderate concentration of defects, are discussed.Comment: 10 pages, 5 eps-figures, elsart-style, submitted to Physica
Quasi-multi-Regge Processes with a Quark Exchange in the t-channel
The QCD amplitudes for particle's production in the quasi-multi-Regge
kinematics with a quark exchange in crossing channels are calculated in the
Born approximation. In particular they are needed to find next-to-leading
corrections to the quark Regge trajectory and to the integral kernel of the
Bethe-Salpeter equation for the t-channel partial wave with fermion quantum
numbers and a negative signature. The gauge-invariant action for the
interaction of the reggeized quarks and gluons with the usual particles is
constructed.Comment: LaTeX, 10 page
The critical amplitude ratio of the susceptibility in the random-site two-dimensional Ising model
We present a new way of probing the universality class of the site-diluted
two-dimensional Ising model. We analyse Monte Carlo data for the magnetic
susceptibility, introducing a new fitting procedure in the critical region
applicable even for a single sample with quenched disorder. This gives us the
possibility to fit simultaneously the critical exponent, the critical amplitude
and the sample dependent pseudo-critical temperature. The critical amplitude
ratio of the magnetic susceptibility is seen to be independent of the
concentration of the empty sites for all investigated values of . At the same time the average effective exponent is found
to vary with the concentration , which may be argued to be due to
logarithmic corrections to the power law of the pure system. This corrections
are canceled in the susceptibility amplitude ratio as predicted by theory. The
central charge of the corresponding field theory was computed and compared well
with the theoretical predictions.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
A new non-Fermi liquid fixed point
We study a new exchange interaction in which the conduction electrons with
pseudo spin interact with the impurity spin . Due to the
overscreening of the impurity spin by higher conduction electron spin, a new
non-trivial intermediate coupling strength fixed point is realized. Using the
numerical renormalization group (NRG), we show that the low-energy spectra are
described by a non-Fermi liquid excitation spectrum. A conformal field theory
analysis is compared with NRG results and excellent agreement is obtained.
Using the double fusion rule to generate the operator spectrum with the
conformal theory, we find that the specific heat coefficient and magnetic
susceptibility will diverge as , that the scaling dimension of an
applied magnetic field is , and that exchange anisotropy is always
relevant. We discuss the possible relevance of our work to two-level system
Kondo materials and dilute cerium alloys, and we point out a paradox in
understanding the Bethe-Ansatz solutions to the multichannel Kondo model.Comment: Revised. 20 page
Reversible magnetization of MgB2 single crystals with a two-gap nature
We present reversible magnetization measurements on MgB2 single crystals in
magnetic fields up to 2.5 T applied parallel to the crystal's c-axis. This
magnetization is analyzed in terms of the Hao-Clem model, and various
superconducting parameters, such as the critical fields [Hc(0) and Hc2(0)], the
characteristic lengths [xi(0) and lambda(0)], and the Ginzburg-Landau
parameter, kappa, are derived. The temperature dependence of the magnetic
penetration depth, lambda(T), obtained from the Hao-Clem analysis could not be
explained by theories assuming a single gap. Our data are well described by
using a two-gap model.Comment: 20 pages, 1 table, 4 figures, will be published in Phys. Rev.

New Effective Feynman-like Rules for the Multi-Regge QCD Asymptotics of Inclusive Multijet Production
New effective Feynman-like rules are defined for inclusive multijet cross
sections in the multi-Regge regime. The solution of the BFKL equation is used
as a starting point. The resulting rules involve conformal weight and rapidity
as a momentum and a coordinate respectively and are translation invariant in
the coordinates. We use the effective rules to calculate ultra high energy
asymptotics of inclusive multijet production. The dependence on the parton
densities occurs only in the overall normalization of the asymptotic cross
sections.Comment: 12 pages in Latex, 3 figs by epsfig, refs update
