Deformation of Schild String
We attempt to construct new superstring actions with a -plet of Majorana
fermions , where is the dimensional space-time
index and is the two dimensional spinor index, by deforming the Schild
action. As a result, we propose three kinds of actions: the first is invariant
under N=1 (the world-sheet) supersymmetry transformation and the
area-preserving diffeomorphism. The second contains the Yukawa type
interaction. The last possesses some non-locality because of bilinear terms of
. The reasons why completing a Schild type superstring action
with is difficult are finally discussed.Comment: 12 pages, Latex, both title and abstract are changed, discussion of

Divergent Thermal Conductivity in Three-dimensional Nonlinear lattices
Heat conduction in three-dimensional nonlinear lattices is investigated using
a particle dynamics simulation. The system is a simple three-dimensional
extension of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU-) nonlinear lattices, in
which the interparticle potential has a biquadratic term together with a
harmonic term. The system size is , and the heat is made to
flow in the direction the Nose-Hoover method. Although a linear
temperature profile is realized, the ratio of enerfy flux to temperature
gradient shows logarithmic divergence with . The autocorrelation function of
energy flux is observed to show power-law decay as ,
which is slower than the decay in conventional momentum-cnserving
three-dimensional systems (). Similar behavior is also observed in
the four dimensional system.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures. Accepted for publication in J. Phys. Soc. Japan

Higher Derivative Corrections to Eleven Dimensional Supergravity via Local Supersymmetry
In this paper we derive higher derivative corrections to the eleven
dimensional supergravity by applying the Noether method with respect to the N=1
local supersymmetry. An ansatz for the higher derivative effective action,
which includes quartic terms of the Riemann tensor, is parametrized by 132
parameters. Then we show that by the requirement of the local supersymmetry,
the higher derivative effective action is essentially described by two
parameters. The bosonic parts of these two superinvariants completely match
with the known results obtained by the perturbative calculations in the type
IIA superstring theory. Since the calculations are long and systematic, we
build the computer programming to check the cancellation of the variations
under the local supersymmetry. This is an extended version of our previous
paper hep-th/0508204.Comment: 67 pages, no figure, references added, typos correcte
Chameleonic dilaton, nonequivalent frames, and the cosmological constant problem in quantum string theory
The chameleonic behaviour of the String theory dilaton is suggested. Some of
the possible consequences of the chameleonic string dilaton are analyzed in
detail. In particular, (1) we suggest a new stringy solution to the
cosmological constant problem and (2) we point out the non-equivalence of
different conformal frames at the quantum level. In order to obtain these
results, we start taking into account the (strong coupling) string loop
expansion in the string frame (S-frame), therefore the so-called form factors
are present in the effective action. The correct Dark Energy scale is recovered
in the Einstein frame (E-frame) without unnatural fine-tunings and this result
is robust against all quantum corrections, granted that we assume a proper
structure of the S-frame form factors in the strong coupling regime. At this
stage, the possibility still exists that a certain amount of fine-tuning may be
required to satisfy some phenomenological constraints. Moreover in the E-frame,
in our proposal, all the interactions are switched off on cosmological length
scales (i.e. the theory is IR-free), while higher derivative gravitational
terms might be present locally (on short distances) and it remains to be seen
whether these facts clash with phenomenology. A detailed phenomenological
analysis is definitely necessary to clarify these points
Long-Time Behavior of Velocity Autocorrelation Function for Interacting Particles in a Two-Dimensional Disordered System
The long-time behavior of the velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) is
investigated by the molecular dynamics simulation of a two-dimensional system
which has both a many-body interaction and a random potential. With
strengthening the random potential by increasing the density of impurities, a
crossover behavior of the VACF is observed from a positive tail, which is
proportional to t^{-1}, to a negative tail, proportional to -t^{-2}. The latter
tail exists even when the density of particles is the same order as the density
of impurities. The behavior of the VACF in a nonequilibrium steady state is
also studied. In the linear response regime the behavior is similar to that in
the equilibrium state, whereas it changes drastically in the nonlinear response
regime.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
Conserved Charges in Einstein Gauss-Bonnet theory
Using Noether's identities, we define a superpotential with respect to a
background for the Einstein Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity. As an example, we
show that its associated conserved charge yields the mass-energy of a
D-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet black hole in an anti-de Sitter spacetime.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, references added, typos corrected, version to appear

Non-strange Dibaryon Resonances Observed in the Reaction
Coherent double neutral-pion photoproduction on the deuteron,
{}, has been experimentally studied at incident
photon energies ranging from 0.75 to 1.15 GeV. The total cross section as a
function of the center-of-mass energy shows resonance-like
behavior, which peaks at approximately 2.47 and 2.63 GeV. The measured angular
distribution of deuteron emission is rather flat, which cannot be reproduced by
the kinematics of quasi-free production with deuteron coalescence.
In invariant-mass distributions, a clear peak is observed at
GeV with a width of GeV. The
spin-parity of this state is restricted to , or from the
angular distributions of the two s. The present work shows strong
evidence for the existence of an isovector dibaryon resonance with a mass of
2.14 GeV. The assignment is consistent with the theoretically
predicted state, and also with the energy dependence of the
partial-wave amplitude for the
{} and {} reactions.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure
dS/CFT Duality on the Brane with a Topological Twist
We consider a brane universe in an asymptotically de Sitter background
spacetime of arbitrary dimensionality. In particular, the bulk spacetime is
described by a ``topological de Sitter'' solution, which has recently been
investigated by Cai, Myung and Zhang. In the current study, we begin by showing
that the brane evolution is described by Friedmann-like equations for radiative
matter. Next, on the basis of the dS/CFT correspondence, we identify the
thermodynamic properties of the brane universe. We then demonstrate that many
(if not all) of the holographic aspects of analogous AdS-bulk scenarios
persist. These include a (generalized) Cardy-Verlinde form for the CFT entropy
and various coincidences when the brane crosses the cosmological horizon.Comment: 24 pages, Latex; references added and Section 5 enhance
Cosmological and black hole brane-world Universes in higher derivative gravity
General model of multidimensional -gravity including Riemann tensor
square term (non-zero case) is considered. The number of brane-worlds in
such model is constructed (mainly in five dimensions) and their properties are
discussed. Thermodynamics of S-AdS BH (with boundary) is presented when
perturbation on is used. The entropy, free energy and energy are
calculated. For non-zero the entropy (energy) is not proportional to the
area (mass). The equation of motion of brane in BH background is presented as
FRW equation. Using dual CFT description it is shown that dual field theory is
not conformal one when is not zero. In this case the holographic entropy
does not coincide with BH entropy (they coincide for Einstein gravity or
HD gravity where AdS/CFT description is well applied).
Asymmetrically warped background (analog of charged AdS BH) where Lorentz
invariance violation occurs is found. The cosmological 4d dS brane connecting
two dS bulk spaces is formulated in terms of parameters of -gravity.
Within proposed dS/CFT correspondence the holographic conformal anomaly from
five-dimensional higher derivative gravity in de Sitter background is
evaluated.Comment: LaTeX file 40 pages, references added, version to appear in PR
