Wormhole as the end state of two-dimensional black hole evaporation

We present a specific two-dimensional dilaton gravity model in which a black hole evaporates leaving a wormhole at the end state. As the black hole formed by infalling matter in a initially static spacetime evaporates by emitting Hawking radiation, the black hole singularity that is initially hidden behind a timelike apparent horizon meets the shrinking horizon. At this intersection point, we imposed boundary conditions which require disappearance of the black hole singularity and generation of the exotic matter which is the source of the wormhole as the end state of the black hole. These, of course, preserve energy conservation and continuity of the metric.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, latex. to appear in Phys. Lett. B (1999

Gauge bosons and the AdS_3/LCFT_2 correspondence

We study the relationship between the gauge boson coupled to spin 2 operator and the singleton in three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space(AdS$_3$). The singleton can be expressed in terms of a pair of dipole ghost fields $A$ and $B$ which couple to $D$ and $C$ operators on the boundary of AdS$_3$. These operators form the logarithmic conformal field theory(LCFT$_2$). Using the correlation function for logarithmic pair, we calculate the greybody factor for the singleton. In the low temperature limit of $\omega \gg T_{\pm}$, this is compared with the result of the bulk AdS$_3$ calculation of the gauge boson. We find that the gauge boson cannot be realized as a model of the AdS$_3$/LCFT$_2$ correspondence.Comment: 9 pages, no figures, previous version should be replaced with this, the result was reverse

Spectator Behavior in a Quantum Hall Antidot with Multiple Bound Modes

We theoretically study Aharonov-Bohm resonances in an antidot system with multiple bound modes in the integer quantum Hall regime, taking capacitive interactions between the modes into account. We find the spectator behavior that the resonances of some modes disappear and instead are replaced by those of other modes, due to internal charge relaxation between the modes. This behavior is a possible origin of the features of previous experimental data which remain unexplained, spectator behavior in an antidot molecule and resonances in a single antidot with three modes.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to be published in Physical Review Letter

Arithmetic completely regular codes

In this paper, we explore completely regular codes in the Hamming graphs and related graphs. Experimental evidence suggests that many completely regular codes have the property that the eigenvalues of the code are in arithmetic progression. In order to better understand these "arithmetic completely regular codes", we focus on cartesian products of completely regular codes and products of their corresponding coset graphs in the additive case. Employing earlier results, we are then able to prove a theorem which nearly classifies these codes in the case where the graph admits a completely regular partition into such codes (e.g, the cosets of some additive completely regular code). Connections to the theory of distance-regular graphs are explored and several open questions are posed.Comment: 26 pages, 1 figur

Large-N Yang-Mills Theory as Classical Mechanics

To formulate two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with adjoint matter fields in the large-N limit as classical mechanics, we derive a Poisson algebra for the color-invariant observables involving adjoint matter fields. We showed rigorously in J. Math. Phys. 40, 1870 (1999) that different quantum orderings of the observables produce essentially the same Poisson algebra. Here we explain, in a less precise but more pedagogical manner, the crucial topological graphical observations underlying the formal proof.Comment: 8 pages, 3 eps figues, LaTeX2.09, aipproc macros needed; conference proceeding of MRST '99 (10-12 May, 1999, Carleton University, Canada
