Pionic BEC--BCS crossover at finite isospin chemical potential
We study the character change of the pionic condensation at finite isospin
chemical potential \mu_\mathrm{I} by adopting the linear sigma model as a
non-local interaction between quarks. At low |\mu_\mathrm{I}| the condensation
is purely bosonic, then the Cooper pairing around the Fermi surface grows
gradually as |\mu_\mathrm{I}| increases. This q-\bar q pairing is weakly
coupled in comparison with the case of the q-q pairing that leads to color
superconductivity.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures, typos in eq.(6) and refs.[37] and [41] are

Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov Approach for Nuclear Matter with Non-Linear Coupling Terms
We investigate the pairing property of nuclear matter with Relativistic
Hartree-Bogoliubov(RHB) approach. Recently, the RHB approach has been widely
applied to nuclear matter and finite nuclei. We have extended the RHB approach
to be able to include non-linear coupling terms of mesons. In this paper we
apply it to nuclear matter and observe the effect of non-linear terms on
pairing gaps.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
Anti-damping spin transfer torque through epitaxial Nickel oxide
We prepare the high quality epitaxial
MgO(001)[100]/Pt(001)[100]/NiO(001)[100]/FeNi/SiO2 films to investigate the
spin transport in the NiO antiferromagnetic insulator. The ferromagnetic
resonance measurements of the FeNi under a spin current injection from the Pt
by the spin Hall effect revealed the change of the ferromagnetic resonance
linewidth depending on the amount of the spin current injection. The results
can be interpreted that there is an angular momentum transfer through the NiO.
A high efficient angular momentum transfer we observed in the epitaxial NiO can
be attributed to the well-defined orientation of the antiferromagnetic moments
and the spin quantization axis of the injected spin current
Prediction for from Non-Abelian Flavor Symmetry
It is shown that the ratio of branching ratios in Higgs boson decay in a simplified () model is . This prediction is
on a footing with the successful one in mixing, . This value for differs from that of the minimal standard
model by a very large factor (over 250,000) and can provide a smoking gun for
() flavor symmetry.Comment: Additional explanation. Typo
Strong Incompatability of Tribimaximal Mixing with Quark-Lepton Complementarity
Although tribimaximal mixing (TBM) and quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) are
both compatible with experimental data within one standard deviation (), the TBM and QLC assumptions are mutually exclusive by .Comment: Reference added. Minor edi
Constraints on Deflation from the Equation of State of Dark Energy
In cyclic cosmology based on phantom dark energy the requirement that our
universe satisfy a CBE-condition ({\it Comes Back Empty}) imposes a lower bound
on the number of causal patches which separate just prior to
turnaround. This bound depends on the dark energy equation of state with . More accurate measurement of will
constrain . The critical density in the model has a lower
bound or
when the smallest bound state has size m, or m,
respectively.Comment: 23 pages, 3 figures, typos fixe
The electronic specific heat in the pairing pseudogap regime
When pairing correlations in a quasi two dimensional electron system induce a
pseudogap in the single particle density of states, the specific heat must also
contain a sizeable pair contribution. The theoretically calculated specific
heat for such a system is compared to the experimental results of Loram and his
collaborators for underdoped YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} and La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_4 samples.
The size and doping dependence of the extracted pseudogap energy scale for both
materials is comparable to the values obtained from a variety of other
experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 5 eps figure
Possibility of \Lambda\Lambda pairing and its dependence on background density in relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model
We calculate a \Lambda\Lambda pairing gap in binary mixed matter of nucleons
and \Lambda hyperons within the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model. Lambda
hyperons to be paired up are immersed in background nucleons in a normal state.
The gap is calculated with a one-boson-exchange interaction obtained from a
relativistic Lagrangian. It is found that at background density
\rho_{N}=2.5\rho_{0} the \Lambda\Lambda pairing gap is very small, and that
denser background makes it rapidly suppressed. This result suggests a
mechanism, specific to mixed matter dealt with relativistic models, of its
dependence on the nucleon density. An effect of weaker \Lambda\Lambda
attraction on the gap is also examined in connection with revised information
of the \Lambda\Lambda interaction.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, REVTeX 4; substantially rewritten, emphasis is

Meson mass at real and imaginary chemical potentials
The chemical-potential dependence of pi and sigma meson masses is analyzed at
both real and imaginary chemical potentials, and
, by using the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio
(PNJL) model that possesses both the extended symmetry and the
chiral symmetry. In the region, the meson masses have the
Roberge-Weiss periodicity. Assuming that the meson masses will be measured at
finite by lattice QCD in future, we simulate how meson masses
at finite are extracted from those at finite ,
and propose a reliable extraction method.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, typo corrected, some discussions clarified,
