Formation of \eta'(958)-mesic nuclei and axial U_A(1) anomaly at finite density

We discuss the possibility to produce the bound states of the $\eta'(958)$ meson in nuclei theoretically. We calculate the formation cross sections of the $\eta'$ bound states with the Green function method for ($\gamma$,p) reaction and discuss the experimental feasibility at photon facilities like SPring-8. We conclude that we can expect to observe resonance peaks in ($\gamma$,p) spectra for the formation of $\eta'$ bound states and we can deduce new information on $\eta'$ properties at finite density. These observations are believed to be essential to know the possible mass shift of $\eta'$ and deduce new information of the effective restoration of the chiral $U_A(1)$ anomaly in the nuclear medium.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Differential symmetry breaking operators I : General theory and F-method

International audienceWe prove a one-to-one correspondence between differential symmetry breaking operators for equivariant vector bundles over two homogeneous spaces and certain homomorphisms for representations of two Lie algebras, in connection with branching problems of the restriction of representations. We develop a new method (F-method) based on the algebraic Fourier transform for generalized Verma modules, which characterizes differential symmetry breaking operators by means of certain systems of partial differential equations. In contrast to the setting of real flag varieties, continuous symmetry breaking operators of Hermitian symmetric spaces are proved to be differential operators in the holomorphic setting. In this case symmetry breaking operators are characterized by differential equations of second order via the F-method

The Nature of Support from Adult Sansei (Third Generation) Children to Older Nisei (Second Generation) Parents in Japanese Canadian Families

Given the growing ethnocultural diversity of Canada's aging population and the increased research focus on the role of the family in the social support of older persons, it is important to explore the ways in which adult ethnic minority children provide assistance to older parents within the context of the family. The current study contributes to research on intergenerational support systems in later life in Japanese Canadian families by examining the factors, particularly the cultural value of oya koh koh (filial obligation), affecting the nature of support from adult children to older parents. Using data gathered from interviews with 100 older nisei (second generation) parents and 100 adult sansei (third generation) children in British Columbia, the study focuses on the frequency, quality and provision of three types of support: emotional, service, and financial. Results of logistic regression analyses indicate that oya koh koh has a significant effect on children's provision of emotional support, but no effect on financial or service support. Parent's health and socioeconomic status are found to have significant effects on children's provision of financial and service support. Child's availability is also a major determinant of financial support. Further, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analyses results suggest that oya koh koh has a significant effect on the quality of emotional support provided by children to their parents. Findings are discussed in terms of the North American Asian "ideal" family myth and directions for future research.family support; filial obligation, intergenerational relations; Japanese Canadian; model minority myth

Quantum network coding for quantum repeaters

This paper considers quantum network coding, which is a recent technique that enables quantum information to be sent on complex networks at higher rates than by using straightforward routing strategies. Kobayashi et al. have recently showed the potential of this technique by demonstrating how any classical network coding protocol gives rise to a quantum network coding protocol. They nevertheless primarily focused on an abstract model, in which quantum resource such as quantum registers can be freely introduced at each node. In this work, we present a protocol for quantum network coding under weaker (and more practical) assumptions: our new protocol works even for quantum networks where adjacent nodes initially share one EPR-pair but cannot add any quantum registers or send any quantum information. A typically example of networks satisfying this assumption is {\emph{quantum repeater networks}}, which are promising candidates for the implementation of large scale quantum networks. Our results thus show, for the first time, that quantum network coding techniques can increase the transmission rate in such quantum networks as well.Comment: 9 pages, 11figure

Lepton Energy Asymmetry and Precision SUSY study at Hadron Colliders

We study the distribution of lepton pairs from the second lightest neutralino decay \tilde{\chi}^0_2-->\tilde{l}l followed by \tilde{l}\to \tilde{\chi}^0_1 l. The distribution of the ratio of lepton transverse momenta A_T shows peak structure if m_{ll}< m^{max}_{ll}/2 is required. The peak position A_T^{peak} is described by a simple function of the ino and slepton masses in the m_{ll}\sim 0 limit. When a moderate m_{ll} cut is applied, A_T^{peak} depends on the \tilde{\chi}^0_2 velocity distribution, but the dependence would be corrected by studying the lepton P_T distribution. A_T^{peak} and the edge of m_{ll} distributions are used to determine the mass parameters involved in the decay for parameters of interest to LHC experiments. For some cases the ino and slepton masses may be determined within 10% by the lepton distribution only independent of model assumptions. Correct combinations of A_{T}^{peak} and m_{ll}^{edge} would be identified even if different \tilde{\chi}^0_2 decay chains are co-existing. The analysis could be extended to the Tevatron energy scale or other cascade decays.Comment: 31 pages, 15 figure

Coexistence of distinct charge fluctuations in θ\theta-(BEDT-TTF)2_2X

Using the Lanczos exact-diagonalization and density-matrix renormalization group methods, we study the extended Hubbard model at quarter filling defined on the anisotropic triangular lattice. We focus on charge ordering (CO) phenomena induced by onsite and intersite Coulomb interactions. We determine the ground-state phase diagram including three CO phases, i.e., diagonal, vertical, and three-fold CO phases, based on the calculated results of the hole density and double occupancy. We also calculate the dynamical density-density correlation functions and find possible coexistence of the diagonal and three-fold charge fluctuations in a certain parameter region where the onsite and intersite interactions compete. Furthermore, the characteristic features of the optical conductivity for each CO phase are discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure

Constraints on mass matrices due to measured property of the mixing matrix

It is shown that two specific properties of the unitary matrix $V$ can be expressed directly in terms of the matrix elements and eigenvalues of the hermitian matrix $M$ which is diagonalized by $V$. These are the asymmetry $\Delta(V)= |V_{12}|^2- |V_{21}|^2$, of $V$ with respect to the main diagonal and the Jarlskog invariant $J(V)= {\rm Im}(V_{11}V_{12}^* V_{21}^* V_{22})$. These expressions for $\Delta(V)$ and $J(V)$ provide constraints on possible mass matrices from the available data on $V$.Comment: 5 pages, Late

Universal charge transport of the Mn oxides in the high temperature limit

We have found that various Mn oxides have the universal resistivity and thermopower in the high temperature limit. The resistivities and thermopowers of all the samples go toward constant values of 7$\pm$1 m$\Omega$cm and $-79\pm$3 $\mu$V/K, which are independent of carrier density and crystal structures. We propose that the electric conduction occurs in a highly localized way in the high temperature limit, where the exchange of entropy and charge occurs in the neighboring Mn$^{3+}$ and Mn$^{4+}$ ions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 eps figures, to be published in J.
