Rotating Superconductors and the Frame-independent London Equation
A frame-independent, thermodynamically exact London equation is presented,
which is especially valid for rotating superconductors. A direct result is the
unexpectedly high accuracy () for the usual expression of the
London moment.Comment: 4 pages, 0 figure
Gravitational Lensing and Anisotropies of CBR on the Small Angular Scales
We investigate the effect of gravitational lensing, produced by linear
density perturbations, for anisotropies of the Cosmic Background Radiation
(CBR) on scales of arcminutes. In calculations, a flat universe ()
and the Harrison-Zel'dovich spectrum () are assumed. The numerical results
show that on scales of a few arcminutes, gravitational lensing produces only
negligible anisotropies in the temperature of the CBR. Our conclusion disagrees
with that of Cay\'{o}n {\it et al.} who argue that the amplification of on scales may even be larger than 100\%.Comment: Accepted by MNRAS. 16 pages, 2 figures, tarred, compressed and

Lattice Gluon Propagator in the Landau Gauge: A Study Using Anisotropic Lattices
Lattice gluon propagators are studied using tadpole and Symanzik improved
gauge action in Landau gauge. The study is performed using anisotropic lattices
with asymmetric volumes. The Landau gauge dressing function for the gluon
propagator measured on the lattice is fitted according to a leading power
behavior: with an exponent at small
momenta. The gluon propagators are also fitted using other models and the
results are compared. Our result is compatible with a finite gluon propagator
at zero momentum in Landau gauge.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure
Renormalizability of Massive Gravity in Three Dimensions
We discuss renormalizability of a recently established, massive gravity
theory with particular higher derivative terms in three space-time dimensions.
It is shown that this massive gravity is certainly renormalizable as well as
unitary, so it gives us a physically interesting toy model of perturbative
quantum gravity in three dimensions.Comment: 13 pages, no figure
