On Haag Duality for Pure States of Quantum Spin Chain
We consider quantum spin chains and their translationally invariant pure
states. We prove Haag duality for quasilocal observables localized in
semi-infinite intervals when the von Neumann algebras generated by observables
localized in these intervals are not type I
Congressional Record Tribute: Braziel, Rick
Prior to serving as Chief of Police, Rick, who is a graduate of California State University- Sacramento and the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, was appointed as the Deputy Chief of the Offices of Operations, Investigations, Technical Services, and Homeland Security and Emergency Services. Rick is a co-author of the book titled Cop Talk: Essential Communicating Skills for Community Policing and is nationally recognized for his instruction in communication skills on this topic.Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Chief Rick Braziel as he retires from the Sacramento Police Department, an organization he served admirably over three decades. As the Chief of Police since 2008 and a member of the department since 1979, Rick has been pivotal in upholding and carrying out the mission of the Sacramento Police Department and his leadership will be missed. I ask all my colleagues to join me in honoring one of Sacramento’s finest public servants.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
Heavy Quark Interactions in Finite Temperature QCD
We study the free energy of a heavy quark-antiquark pair in a thermal medium.
We constuct a simple ansatz for the free energy for two quark flavors motivated
by the Debye-H\"uckel theory of screening.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, contribution to the proceedings of the

Temporal meson correlators at finite temperature on quenched anisotropic lattice
We study charmonium correlators at finite temperature in quenched anisotropic
lattice QCD. The smearing technique is applied to enhance the low energy part
of the correlator. We use two analysis procedures: the maximum entropy method
for extraction of the spectral function without assuming specific form, as an
estimate of the shape of spectral function, and the fit assuming
typical forms as quantitative evaluation of the parameters associated to the
forms. We find that at the ground state peak has almost the
same mass as at T=0 and almost vanishing width. At , our result
suggests that the correlator still has nontrivial peak structure at almost the
same position as below with finite width.Comment: Lattice 2002 Nonzero temperature 3page
Kakutani Dichotomy on Free States
Two quasi-free states on a CAR or CCR algebra are shown to generate
quasi-equivalent representations unless they are disjoint.Comment: 12 page
Critical Behavior of J/psi across the Phase Transition from QCD sum rules
We study behavior of J/psi in hot gluonic matter using
QCD sum rules. Taking into account temperature dependences of the gluon
condensates extracted from lattice thermodynamics for the pure SU(3) system, we
find that the mass and width of J/psi exhibit rapid change across the critical
temperature.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures. Poster contribution for Quark Matter 2008. To be

Impact of Assimilated and Interactive Aerosol on Tropical Cyclogenesis
This article investigates the impact 3 of Saharan dust on the development of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic. A global data assimilation and forecast system, the NASA GEOS-5, is used to assimilate all satellite and conventional data sets used operationally for numerical weather prediction. In addition, this new GEOS-5 version includes assimilation of aerosol optical depth from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The analysis so obtained comprises atmospheric quantities and a realistic 3-d aerosol and cloud distribution, consistent with the meteorology and validated against Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) and CloudSat data. These improved analyses are used to initialize GEOS-5 forecasts, explicitly accounting for aerosol direct radiative effects and their impact on the atmospheric dynamics. Parallel simulations with/without aerosol radiative effects show that effects of dust on static stability increase with time, becoming highly significant after day 5 and producing an environment less favorable to tropical cyclogenesis
