On the initial condition for evolution of the perturbative QCD Pomeron in the nucleus
It is shown that subdominant terms found in the reggeized gluon diagram
technique, to be added to Pomeron fan diagrams with the 3P interaction, can be
exactly taken into account by taking the initial condition for evolution in the
Glauber form. This demonstrates complete equivalence of the dipole picture and
the reggeized gluon approach not only on the leading level but also on the
subleading level.Comment: 5 pages in LaTe
Loops in the gluon emission amplitude: reggeization from the Glauber scattering
It is shown that in the Glauber scattering of a fast quark in the external
field loop corrections to the gluon emission amplitude due to virtual softer
gluon after renormalization coincide with a correction due to reggeization of
the exchanged gluon in the BFKL picture.Comment: 26 pages, 10 figure
BKP states in the inclusive gluon production
Inclusive cross-section for gluon production is calculated by the dispersion
technique in the NLO in the perturbative QCD with a large number of colours.
The found cross-section coincides with the one derived in the dipole picture.
No trace of the BKP states is found.Comment: 30 pages, 17 figures. Appendix with a new observation added.

Fusion of strings vs. percolation and the transition to the quark-gluon plasma
In most of the models of hadronic collisions the number of exchanged colour
strings grows with energy and atomic numbers of the projectile and target. At
high string densities interaction between them should melt them into the
quark-gluon plasma state. It is shown that under certain assumptions about the
the string interaction, a phase transition to the quark gluon plasma indeed
takes place in the system of many colour strings. It may be of the first or
second order (percolation), depending on the particular mechanism of the
interaction. The critical string density is about unity in both cases. The
critical density may have been already reached in central Pb-Pb collisions at
158 A GeV.Comment: 16 pages, 3 Postscript figure
Pomeron fan diagrams in perturbative QCD
Within QCD reggeon field theory we study the formation of two subsequent
triple pomeron vertices in the process PPPPPP. We make use of an
earlier investigation ~\cite{Bartels:1999aw} of the six-reggeon amplitude in
deep inelastic scattering and show that in the large- limit pomeron fan
diagrams emerge with the same triple pomeron vertex in all places. We thus
confirm the BK-equation, but we also find additional terms related to the
reggeization of the gluon, and we discuss their potential significance. Our
analysis also includes the general pomeron two odderon vertex: a
particular version of this vertex has been included into earlier
generalizations the BK equation.Comment: 22 pages, 10 figure
Dependence of boundary lubrication on the misfit angle between the sliding surfaces
Using molecular dynamics based on Langevin equations with a coordinate- and
velocity-dependent damping coefficient, we study the frictional properties of a
thin layer of "soft" lubricant (where the interaction within the lubricant is
weaker than the lubricant-substrate interaction) confined between two solids.
At low driving velocities the system demonstrates stick-slip motion. The
lubricant may or may not be melted during sliding, thus exhibiting either the
"liquid sliding" (LS) or the "layer over layer sliding" (LoLS) regimes. The
LoLS regime mainly operates at low sliding velocities. We investigate the
dependence of friction properties on the misfit angle between the sliding
surfaces and calculate the distribution of static frictional thresholds for a
contact of polycrystalline surfaces.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figure
Production of a gluon with the exchange of three reggeized gluons in the Lipatov effective action approach
In the Regge kinematics the amplitude for gluon production off three
scattering centers is found in the Lipatov effective action technique. The
vertex for gluon emission with the reggeon splitting in three reggeons is
calculated and its transversality is demonstrated. It is shown that in the sum
of all contributions terms containing principal value singularities are
cancelled and substituted by the standard Feynman poles. These results may be
used for calculation of the inclusive cross-section for gluon production on two
nucleons in the nucleus.Comment: 22 pages, 9 figures; submitted to Eur.Phys.Jour.
Production of Strange Clusters and Strange Matter in Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions at the AGS
Production probabilities for strange clusters and strange matter in Au+Au
collisions at AGS energy are obtained in the thermal fireball model. The only
parameters of the model, the baryon chemical potential and temperature, were
determined from a description of the rather complete set of hadron yields from
Si+nucleus collisions at the AGS. For the production of light nuclear fragments
and strange clusters the results are similar to recent coalescence model
calculations. Strange matter production with baryon number larger than 10 is
predicted to be much smaller than any current experimental sensitivities.Comment: 9 Pages (no figures
Instability in hydraulic machines demonstration rig
In fluid flow machines, the working fluid involved in rotative motion due to shaft rotation significantly modifies the rotor synchronous response. This can result in the rotor maintaining the high vibration amplitude that occurs at resonance over an extended rotative speed range. The phase changes in this range are typically very small. The fluid may also create rotor instability, i.e., subsynchronous self-excited vibrations, when the rotative speed is sufficiently high. This rotor instability is often related and increases with higher rotor unbalance (Opposite to other types of instability such as oil whirl/whip, internal friction, etc.). The rotor rig demonstrates typical dynamic behavior of hydraulic machines. At lower speeds the effect of amplitude/phase mentioned above is noticeable; at higher speeds the subsynchronous instability occurs
Three Generations on the Quintic Quotient
A three-generation SU(5) GUT, that is 3x(10+5bar) and a single 5-5bar pair,
is constructed by compactification of the E_8 heterotic string. The base
manifold is the Z_5 x Z_5-quotient of the quintic, and the vector bundle is the
quotient of a positive monad. The group action on the monad and its
bundle-valued cohomology is discussed in detail, including topological
restrictions on the existence of equivariant structures. This model and a
single Z_5 quotient are the complete list of three generation quotients of
positive monads on the quintic.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX. v2: section on anomaly cancellation adde
