Quadrupole Instabilities of Relativistic Rotating Membranes
We generalize recent study of the stability of isotropic (spherical) rotating
membranes to the anisotropic ellipsoidal membrane. We find that while the
stability persists for deformations of spin , the quadrupole and higher
spin deformations () lead to instabilities. We find the relevant
instability modes and the corresponding eigenvalues. These indicate that the
ellipsoidal rotating membranes generically decay into finger-like
configurations.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur
Rotating Toroidal Branes in Supermembrane and Matrix Theory
In the lightcone frame, where the supermembrane theory and the Matrix model
are strikingly similar, the equations of motion admit an elegant
complexification in even dimensional spaces. Although the explicit rotational
symmetry of the target space is lost, the remaining unitary symmetries apart
from providing a simple and unifying description of all known solutions suggest
new ones for rotating spherical and toroidal membranes. In this framework the
angular momentum is represented by U(1) charges which balance the nonlinear
attractive forces of the membrane. We examine in detail a six dimensional
rotating toroidal membrane solution which lives in a 3-torus, and admits
stable radial modes. In Matrix Theory it corresponds to a toroidal N-
brane bound state. We demonstrate its existence and discuss its radial
stability.Comment: 7 pages, revte
Production of large volume discharges in water and their industrial applications
Plasmas with a large volume have been produced in low pressure gases using the diffusion and flow of plasmas. In liquid, arc discharge plasmas have been produced for the basic researches and some applications. The volume of the arc plasma is limited. Here, the production of large volume discharge plasmas in water and their industrial applications are described
