-Meson Decays and Strong Breaking in the Three-Flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Model
We study the and
decays using an extended three-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model that includes
the 't~Hooft instanton induced interaction. We find that the -meson mass,
the decay width and the
decay width are in good agreement with the experimental values when the
breaking is strong and the flavor singlet-octet mixing angle
is about zero. The effects of the breaking on the baryon
number one and two systems are also studied.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, 2 eps figures, Talk given at the Joint

Precursor of Color Superconductivity in Hot Quark Matter
We investigate possible precursory phenomena of color superconductivity in
quark matter at finite temperature T with use of a simple Nambu-Jona-Lasinio
model. It is found that the fluctuating pair field exists with a prominent
strength even well above the critical temperature T_c. We show that the
collective pair field has a complex energy located in the second Riemann sheet,
which approaches the origin as T is lowered to T_c. We discuss the possible
relevance of the precursor to the observables to be detected in heavy ion
collisions.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, version to appear in Phys. Rev. D. Discussions

Spin 3/2 Penta-quarks in anisotropic lattice QCD
A high-precision mass measurement for the pentaquark (5Q) Theta^+ in
J^P=3/2^{\pm} channel is performed in anisotropic quenched lattice QCD using a
large number of gauge configurations as N_{conf}=1000. We employ the standard
Wilson gauge action at beta=5.75 and the O(a) improved Wilson (clover) quark
action with kappa=0.1210(0.0010)0.1240 on a 12^3 \times 96 lattice with the
renormalized anisotropy as a_s/a_t = 4. The Rarita-Schwinger formalism is
adopted for the interpolating fields. Several types of the interpolating fields
with isospin I=0 are examined such as (a) the NK^*-type, (b) the
(color-)twisted NK^*-type, (c) a diquark-type. The chiral extrapolation leads
to only massive states, i.e., m_{5Q} \simeq 2.1-2.2 GeV in J^P=3/2^- channel,
and m_{5Q} = 2.4-2.6 GeV in J^P=3/2^+ channel. The analysis with the hybrid
boundary condition(HBC) is performed to investigate whether these states are
compact 5Q resonances or not. No low-lying compact 5Q resonance states are
found below 2.1GeV.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, 4 table
Chiral and Color-superconducting Phase Transitions with Vector Interaction in a Simple Model (Addenda)
In the preceding paper(Prog.Theor.Phys.108(2002)929 or hep-ph/0207255), we
have shown that the critical line of the first order chiral transition of QCD
can have two endpoints. In this addendum, we elucidate the mechanism to realize
the two-endpoint structure in the QCD phase diagram and argue the robustness
for the appearance of such an interesting phase structure
Upper Bound on the region of Separable States near the Maximally Mixed State
A lower bound on the amount of noise that must be added to a GHZ-like
entangled state to make it separable (also called the random robustness) is
found using the transposition condition. The bound is applicable to arbitrary
numbers of subsystems, and dimensions of Hilbert space, and is shown to be
exact for qubits. The new bound is compared to previous such bounds on this
quantity, and found to be stronger in all cases. It implies that increasing the
number of subsystems, rather than increasing their Hilbert space dimension is a
more effective way of increasing entanglement. An explicit decomposition into
an ensemble of separable states, when the state is not entangled,is given for
the case of qubits.Comment: 2 figures. accepted J. Opt. B: Quantum Semiclass. Opt. (2000
