q-Deformed Kink Solutions
The q-deformed kink of the model is obtained via the
normalisable ground state eigenfunction of a fluctuation operator associated
with the q-deformed hyperbolic functions. From such a bosonic zero-mode the
q-deformed potential in 1+1 dimensions is found, and we show that the
q-deformed kink solution is a kink displaced away from the origin.Comment: REvtex, 11 pages, 2 figures. Preprint CBPF-NF-005/03, site at

Three dimensional Lifshitz black hole and the Korteweg-de Vries equation
We consider a solution of three dimensional New Massive Gravity with a
negative cosmological constant and use the AdS/CTF correspondence to inquire
about the equivalent two dimensional model at the boundary. We conclude that
there should be a close relation with the Korteweg-de Vries equation.Comment: 4 page
On Matrix Superpotential and Three-Component Normal Modes
We consider the supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) with three-
component normal modes for the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) states. An
explicit form of the SUSY QM matrix superpotential is presented and the
corresponding three-component bosonic zero-mode eigenfunction is investigated.Comment: 17 pages, no figure. Paper accepted for publication in Journal of

On Useful Conformal Tranformations In General Relativity
Local conformal transformations are known as a useful tool in various
applications of the gravitational theory, especially in cosmology. We describe
some new aspects of these transformations, in particular using them for
derivation of Einstein equations for the cosmological and Schwarzschild
metrics. Furthermore, the conformal transformation is applied for the
dimensional reduction of the Gauss-Bonnet topological invariant in to the
spaces of lower dimensions.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX. The paper is intended mainly for pedagogical
purposes and represents a collection of exercises concerning local conformal
transformations and dimensional reduction. To be published in "Gravitation

A semiquantitative approach to the impurity-band-related transport properties of GaMnAs nanolayers
We investigate the spin-polarized transport of GaMnAs nanolayers in which a
ferromagnetic order exists below a certain transition temperature. Our
calculation for the self-averaged resistivity takes into account the existence
of an impurity band determining the extended ("metallic" transport) or
localized (hopping by thermal excitation) nature of the states at and near the
Fermi level. Magnetic order and resistivity are inter-related due to the
influence of the spin polarization of the impurity band and the effect of the
Zeeman splitting on the mobility edge. We obtain, for a given range of Mn
concentration and carrier density, a "metallic" behavior in which the transport
by extended carriers dominates at low temperature, and is dominated by the
thermally excited localized carriers near and above the transition temperature.
This gives rise to a conspicuous hump of the resistivity which has been
experimentally observed and brings light onto the relationship between
transport and magnetic properties of this material
