Explicit Construction of Spin 4 Casimir Operator in the Coset Model SO^(5)1×SO^(5)m/SO^(5)1+m \hat{SO} (5)_{1} \times \hat{SO} (5)_{m} / \hat{SO} (5)_{1+m}

We generalize the Goddard-Kent-Olive (GKO) coset construction to the dimension 5/2 operator for $\hat{so} (5)$ and compute the fourth order Casimir invariant in the coset model $\hat{SO} (5)_{1} \times \hat{SO} (5)_{m} / \hat{SO} (5)_{1+m}$ with the generic unitary minimal $c < 5/2$ series that can be viewed as perturbations of the $m \rightarrow \infty$ limit, which has been investigated previously in the realization of $c= 5/2$ free fermion model.Comment: 11 page

Non-Subelliptic estimates for the tangential Cauchy-Riemann system

We prove non-subelliptic estimates for the tangential Cauchy-Riemann system over a weakly "$q$-pseudoconvex" higher codimensional submanifold $M$ of \C^n. Let us point out that our hypotheses do not suffice to guarantee subelliptic estimates, in general. Even more: hypoellipticity of the tangential C-R system is not in question (as shows the example by Kohn in case of a Levi-flat hypersurface). However our estimates suffice for existence of smooth solutions to the inhomogeneous C-R equations in certain degree. The main ingredients in our proofs are the weighted $L^2$ estimates by H\"ormander and Kohn and the tangential $\bar\partial$-Neumann operator by Kohn. As for the notion of $q$ pseudoconvexity we follow closely Zampieri. The main technical result is a version for "perturbed" $q$-pseudoconvex domains of a similar result by Ahn who generalizes in turn Chen-Shaw.Comment: 21 page

Perturbing Around A Warped Product Of AdS_4 and Seven-Ellipsoid

We compute the spin-2 Kaluza-Klein modes around a warped product of AdS_4 and a seven-ellipsoid. This background with global G_2 symmetry is related to a U(N) x U(N) N=1 superconformal Chern-Simons matter theory with sixth order superpotential. The mass-squared in AdS_4 is quadratic in G_2 quantum number and KK excitation number. We determine the dimensions of spin-2 operators using the AdS/CFT correspondence. The connection to N=2 theory preserving SU(3) x U(1)_R is also discussed.Comment: 21pp; The second and last paragraphs of section 2, the footnotes 1 and 2 added and to appear in JHE

Supersymmetric Reflection Matrices

We briefly review the general structure of integrable particle theories in 1+1 dimensions having N=1 supersymmetry. Examples are specific perturbed superconformal field theories (of Yang-Lee type) and the N=1 supersymmetric sine-Gordon theory. We comment on the modifications that are required when the N=1 supersymmetry algebra contains non-trivial topological charges.Comment: 7 pages, Revtex, 2 figures, talk given at the International Seminar on Supersymmetry and Quantum Field Theory, dedicated to the memory of D.V.Volkov, Kharkov (Ukraine), January 5-7, 199

Spacelike boundaries from the c=1 Matrix Model

We find classical solutions of two dimensional noncritical string theory which give rise to geometries with spacelike boundaries, similar to spacetimes with cosmological event horizons. In the c=1 matrix model, these solutions have a representation as simple time dependent configurations. We obtain the causal structure of the resulting spacetimes. Using the macroscopic loop transform, we probe the form of the tachyon condensate in the asymptotic regions.Comment: 22 pages, 5 figures, v2: reference added, v3: minor correction

More on Meta-Stable Brane Configuration

We describe the intersecting brane configuration of type IIA string theory corresponding to the meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua in four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric SU(N_c) gauge theory with an antisymmetric flavor, a conjugate symmetric flavor, eight fundamental flavors, m_f fundamental flavors and m_f antifundamental flavors. This is done by analyzing the N=1 supersymmetric SU(2m_f-N_c+4) magnetic gauge theory with dual matters and the corresponding dual superpotential.Comment: 20 pp, 3 figures; Pages 11,12, and 14 improved; to appear in CQ

Temperature‐dependent transmission extended electron energy‐loss fine structure of aluminum

Inelastic electron scattering experiments in a transmission electron microscope provide a probe of core electron excitations that have binding energies below 2 keV, and that are localized within submicron diameter sample volumes. Extended electron energy‐loss fine‐structure measurements which show the variation with temperature of the mean squared relative displacement of aluminum yield a localized measurement of the Debye temperature which is in excellent agreement with macroscopic measurements

Weak-localization and rectification current in non-diffusive quantum wires

We show that electron transport in disordered quantum wires can be described by a modified Cooperon equation, which coincides in form with the Dirac equation for the massive fermions in a 1+1 dimensional system. In this new formalism, we calculate the DC electric current induced by electromagnetic fields in quasi-one-dimensional rings. This current changes sign, from diamagnetic to paramagnetic, depending on the amplitude and frequency of the time-dependent external electromagnetic field.Comment: changed title, added more detail, to appear in J.
