    For each integer n1n\ge 1, we demonstrate that a (2n+1)(2n+1)-dimensional generalized MICZ-Kepler problem has an \mr{Spin}(2, 2n+2) dynamical symmetry which extends the manifest \mr{Spin}(2n+1) symmetry. The Hilbert space of bound states is shown to form a unitary highest weight \mr{Spin}(2, 2n+2)-module which occurs at the first reduction point in the Enright-Howe-Wallach classification diagram for the unitary highest weight modules. As a byproduct, we get a simple geometric realization for such a unitary highest weight \mr{Spin}(2, 2n+2)-module.Comment: 27 pages, Refs. update

    DDˉD^*\bar D^* molecule interpretation of Zc(4025)Z_c(4025)

    We have used QCD sum rules to study the newly observed charged state Zc(4025)Z_c(4025) as a hidden-charm DDˉD^*\bar D^* molecular state with the quantum numbers IG(JP)=1+(1+)I^G(J^{P})=1^+(1^{+}). Using a DDˉD^*\bar D^* molecular interpolating current, we have calculated the two-point correlation function and the spectral density up to dimension eight at leading order in αs\alpha_s. The extracted mass is mX=(4.04±0.24)m_X=(4.04\pm0.24) GeV. This result is compatible with the observed mass of Zc(4025)Z_c(4025) within the errors, which implies a possible molecule interpretation of this new resonance. We also predict the mass of the corresponding hidden-bottom BBˉB^*\bar B^* molecular state: mZb=(9.98±0.21)m_{Z_b}=(9.98\pm0.21) GeV.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. Version appears in Eur. Phys. J.

    Particles in classically forbidden area, neutron skin and halo, and pure neutron matter in Ca isotopes

    The nucleon density distributions and the thickness of pure neutron matter in Ca isotopes were systematically studied using the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model (SHF) from the β\beta-stability line to the neutron drip-line. The pure neutron matter, related with the neutron skin or halo, was shown to depend not only on the Fermi levels of the neutrons but also on the orbital angular momentum of the valence neutrons. New definitions for the thickness of pure neutron matter are proposed.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

    Friedmann cosmology with a generalized equation of state and bulk viscosity

    Full text link
    The universe media is considered as a non-perfect fluid with bulk viscosity and described by a more general equation of state. We assume the bulk viscosity is a linear combination of the two terms: one is constant, and the other is proportional to the scalar expansion θ=3a˙/a\theta=3\dot{a}/a. The equation of state is described as p=(γ1)ρ+p0p=(\gamma-1)\rho+p_0, where p0p_0 is a parameter. This model can be used to explain the dark energy dominated universe. Different choices of the parameters may lead to three kinds of fates of the cosmological evolution: no future singularity, big rip, or Type III singularity of Ref. [S. Nojiri, S.D. Odintsov, and S. Tsujikawa, Phys. Rev. D \textbf{71}, 063004 (2005)].Comment: 5 pages and 4 fig

    How accurate are the non-linear chemical Fokker-Planck and chemical Langevin equations?

    Full text link
    The chemical Fokker-Planck equation and the corresponding chemical Langevin equation are commonly used approximations of the chemical master equation. These equations are derived from an uncontrolled, second-order truncation of the Kramers-Moyal expansion of the chemical master equation and hence their accuracy remains to be clarified. We use the system-size expansion to show that chemical Fokker-Planck estimates of the mean concentrations and of the variance of the concentration fluctuations about the mean are accurate to order Ω3/2\Omega^{-3/2} for reaction systems which do not obey detailed balance and at least accurate to order Ω2\Omega^{-2} for systems obeying detailed balance, where Ω\Omega is the characteristic size of the system. Hence the chemical Fokker-Planck equation turns out to be more accurate than the linear-noise approximation of the chemical master equation (the linear Fokker-Planck equation) which leads to mean concentration estimates accurate to order Ω1/2\Omega^{-1/2} and variance estimates accurate to order Ω3/2\Omega^{-3/2}. This higher accuracy is particularly conspicuous for chemical systems realized in small volumes such as biochemical reactions inside cells. A formula is also obtained for the approximate size of the relative errors in the concentration and variance predictions of the chemical Fokker-Planck equation, where the relative error is defined as the difference between the predictions of the chemical Fokker-Planck equation and the master equation divided by the prediction of the master equation. For dimerization and enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the errors are typically less than few percent even when the steady-state is characterized by merely few tens of molecules.Comment: 39 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in J.
