A Toy Model for Gauge-Mediation in Intersecting Brane Models
We discuss the phenomenology of a toy intersecting brane model where
supersymmetry is dynamically broken in an open string hidden sector and
gauge-mediated to the visible sector. Scalar masses ~ TeV are easily
realizable, and R-symmetry is broken. These ideas are easily generalizable to
other intersecting brane models.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX, references added, some discussion clarifie
Properties of Phase transitions of a Higher Order
The following is a thermodynamic analysis of a III order (and some aspects of
a IV order) phase transition. Such a transition can occur in a superconductor
if the normal state is a diamagnet. The equation for a phase boundary in an H-T
(H is the magnetic field, T, the temperature) plane is derived. by considering
two possible forms of the gradient energy, it is possible to construct a field
theory which describes a III or a IV order transition and permits a study of
thermal fluctuations and inhomogeneous order parameters.Comment: 13 pages, revtex, no figure
Some Implications of inverse-Compton Scattering of Hot Cocoon Radiation by relativistic jets in Gamma-Ray Bursts
Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) relativistic jets are surrounded by hot cocoons
which confine jets during their punch out from the progenitor star. These
cocoons are copious sources of X-ray photons that can be and are
inverse-Compton (IC) scattered to MeV--GeV energies by electrons in the
relativistic jet. We provide detailed estimates for IC flux resulting from
various interactions between X-ray photons and the relativistic jet, and
describe what we can learn about GRB jets and progenitor stars from the
detection (or an upper limit) of these IC scattered photons.Comment: 26 pages 7 figures (comments most welcome
Two quantum spin models on the checkerboard lattice with an exact two-fold degenerate Shastry-Sutherland ground state
Two quantum spin models with bilinear-biquadratic exchange interactions are
constructed on the checkerboard lattice. It is proved that, under certain
sufficient conditions on the exchange parameters, their ground states consist
of two degenerate Shastry-Sutherland singlet configurations. The constructions
are studied for arbitrary spin-S. The sufficient conditions for the existence
of ferromagnetic ground state are also found exactly. The approximate quantum
phase diagrams are presented using the exact results, together with a
variational estimate for the N\'eel antiferromagnetic phase. A two-leg spin-1/2
ladder model, based on one of the above constructions, is considered which
admits exact solution for a large number of eigenstates. The ladder model is
shown to have exact level-crossing between the rung-singlet state and the AKLT
state in the singlet ground state. Also introduced is the notion of
perpendicularity for quantum spin vectors, which appears in the discussion on
one of the two checkerboard models, and is discussed in the Appendix.Comment: Revtex, 10 pages, 6 figures, 3 table
Transmit Antenna Selection for Physical-Layer Network Coding Based on Euclidean Distance
Physical-layer network coding (PNC) is now well-known as a potential
candidate for delay-sensitive and spectrally efficient communication
applications, especially in two-way relay channels (TWRCs). In this paper, we
present the error performance analysis of a multiple-input single-output (MISO)
fixed network coding (FNC) system with two different transmit antenna selection
(TAS) schemes. For the first scheme, where the antenna selection is performed
based on the strongest channel, we derive a tight closed-form upper bound on
the average symbol error rate (SER) with -ary modulation and show that the
system achieves a diversity order of 1 for . Next, we propose a
Euclidean distance (ED) based antenna selection scheme which outperforms the
first scheme in terms of error performance and is shown to achieve a diversity
order lower bounded by the minimum of the number of antennas at the two users.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, Globecom 2017 (Wireless Communications

Performance Analysis of NOMA-based Cooperative Relaying in {\alpha} - {\mu} Fading Channels
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is widely recognized as a potential
multiple access technology for efficient radio spectrum utilization in the
fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications standard. In this paper, we study
the average achievable rate and outage probability of a cooperative relaying
system (CRS) based on NOMA (CRS-NOMA) over wireless links governed by the
- generalized fading model; here and designate the
nonlinearity and clustering parameters, respectively, of each link. The average
achievable rate is represented in closed-form using Meijer's G-function and the
extended generalized bivariate Fox's H-function (EGBFHF), and the outage
probability is represented using the lower incomplete Gamma function. Our
results confirm that the CRS-NOMA outperforms the CRS with conventional
orthogonal multiple access (CRS-OMA) in terms of spectral efficiency at high
transmit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). It is also evident from our results that
with an increase in the value of the nonlinearity/clustering parameter, the SNR
at which the CRS-NOMA outperforms its OMA based counterpart becomes higher.
Furthermore, the asymptotic analysis of the outage probability reveals the
dependency of the diversity order of each symbol in the CRS-NOMA system on the
and parameters of the fading links.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, accepted in IEEE International
