Extinctions and Correlations for Uniformly Discrete Point Processes with Pure Point Dynamical Spectra
The paper investigates how correlations can completely specify a uniformly
discrete point process. The setting is that of uniformly discrete point sets in
real space for which the corresponding dynamical hull is ergodic. The first
result is that all of the essential physical information in such a system is
derivable from its -point correlations, . If the system is
pure point diffractive an upper bound on the number of correlations required
can be derived from the cycle structure of a graph formed from the dynamical
and Bragg spectra. In particular, if the diffraction has no extinctions, then
the 2 and 3 point correlations contain all the relevant information.Comment: 16 page
QCD near the Light Cone
Starting from the QCD Lagrangian, we present the QCD Hamiltonian for near
light cone coordinates. We study the dynamics of the gluonic zero modes of this
Hamiltonian. The strong coupling solutions serve as a basis for the complete
problem. We discuss the importance of zero modes for the confinement mechanism.Comment: 32 pages, ReVTeX, 2 Encapsulated PostScript figure
A cross impact methodology for the assessment of US telecommunications system with application to fiber optics development: Executive summary
A cross impact model of the U.S. telecommunications system was developed. For this model, it was necessary to prepare forecasts of the major segments of the telecommunications system, such as satellites, telephone, TV, CATV, radio broadcasting, etc. In addition, forecasts were prepared of the traffic generated by a variety of new or expanded services, such as electronic check clearing and point of sale electronic funds transfer. Finally, the interactions among the forecasts were estimated (the cross impacts). Both the forecasts and the cross impacts were used as inputs to the cross impact model, which could then be used to stimulate the future growth of the entire U.S. telecommunications system. By varying the inputs, technology changes or policy decisions with regard to any segment of the system could be evaluated in the context of the remainder of the system. To illustrate the operation of the model, a specific study was made of the deployment of fiber optics, throughout the telecommunications system
Quantum Electrodynamics in the Light-Front Weyl Gauge
We examine QED(3+1) quantised in the `front form' with finite `volume'
regularisation, namely in Discretised Light-Cone Quantisation. Instead of the
light-cone or Coulomb gauges, we impose the light-front Weyl gauge . The
Dirac method is used to arrive at the quantum commutation relations for the
independent variables. We apply `quantum mechanical gauge fixing' to implement
Gau{\ss}' law, and derive the physical Hamiltonian in terms of unconstrained
variables. As in the instant form, this Hamiltonian is invariant under global
residual gauge transformations, namely displacements. On the light-cone the
symmetry manifests itself quite differently.Comment: LaTeX file, 30 pages (A4 size), no figures. Submitted to Physical

The Prediction of Mass of Z'-Boson from Mixing
B_q^0-B_^0 bar mixing offers a profound probe into the effects of new
physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper, and
mass differences are considered taking the effect of both
Z-and Z' -mediated flavour-changing neutral currents in the
mixing (q = d, s). Our estimated mass of Z' boson is accessible at the
experiments LHC and B-factories in near future.Comment: 11 pages, 02 Figure
Dynamical tunnelling with ultracold atoms in magnetic microtraps
The study of dynamical tunnelling in a periodically driven anharmonic
potential probes the quantum-classical transition via the experimental control
of the effective Planck's constant for the system. In this paper we consider
the prospects for observing dynamical tunnelling with ultracold atoms in
magnetic microtraps on atom chips. We outline the driven anharmonic potentials
that are possible using standard magnetic traps, and find the Floquet spectrum
for one of these as a function of the potential strength, modulation, and
effective Planck's constant. We develop an integrable approximation to the
non-integrable Hamiltonian and find that it can explain the behaviour of the
tunnelling rate as a function of the effective Planck's constant in the regular
region of parameter space. In the chaotic region we compare our results with
the predictions of models that describe chaos-assisted tunnelling. Finally we
examine the practicality of performing these experiments in the laboratory with
Bose-Einstein condensates.Comment: V1: 12 pages, 10 figures. V2: 14 pages, 12 figures, significantly

Transverse QCD Dynamics Near the Light Cone
Starting from the QCD Hamiltonian in near-light cone coordinates, we study
the dynamics of the gluonic zero modes. Euclidean 2+1 dimensional lattice
simulations show that the gap at strong coupling vanishes at intermediate
coupling. This result opens the possibility to synchronize the continuum limit
with the approach to the light cone.Comment: 15 pages, LaTeX, 3 figures (7 PS files
