Modified Reconstruction of Standard Model in Non-Commutative Differential Geometry
Sogami recently proposed the new idea to express Higgs particle as a kind of
gauge particle by prescribing the generalized covariant derivative with gauge
and Higgs fields operating on quark and lepton fields. The field strengths for
both the gauge and Higgs fields are defined by the commutators of the covariant
derivative by which he could obtain the Yang-Mills Higgs Lagrangian in the
standard model. Inspired by Sogami's work, we present a modification of our
previous scheme to formulate the spontaneously broken gauge theory in
non-commutative geometry on the discrete space; Minkowski space multiplied by
two points space by introducing the generation mixing matrix in operation of
the generalized derivative on the more fundamental fields a_i(x,y) which
compose the gauge and Higgs fields. The standard model is reconstructed
according to the modified scheme, which does not yields not only any special
relations between the particle masses but also the special restriction on the
Higgs potential.Comment: 21 page
Dense and Warm Molecular Gas between Double Nuclei of the Luminous Infrared Galaxy NGC 6240
High spatial resolution observations of the 12CO(1-0), HCN(1-0), HCO+(1-0),
and 13CO(1-0) molecular lines toward the luminous infrared merger NGC 6240 have
been performed using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array and the RAINBOW
Interferometer. All of the observed molecular emission lines are concentrated
in the region between the double nuclei of the galaxy. However, the
distributions of both HCN and HCO+ emissions are more compact compared with
that of 12CO, and they are not coincident with the star-forming regions. The
HCN/12CO line intensity ratio is 0.25; this suggests that most of the molecular
gas between the double nuclei is dense. A comparison of the observed high
HCN/13CO intensity ratio, 5.9, with large velocity gradient calculations
suggests that the molecular gas is dense [n(H_2)=10^{4-6} cm^-3] and warm
(T_kin>50 K). The observed structure in NGC 6240 may be explained by time
evolution of the molecular gas and star formation, which was induced by an
almost head-on collision or very close encounter of the two galactic nuclei
accompanied with the dense gas and star-forming regions.Comment: 25 pages, 8 figures, To be appeared in PASJ 57, No.4 (August 25,

Numerical Computation of Thermoelectric and Thermomagnetic Effects
Phenomenological equations describing the Seebeck, Hall, Nernst, Peltier,
Ettingshausen, and Righi-Leduc effects are numerically solved for the

BRST invariant Lagrangian of spontaneously broken gauge theories in noncommutative geometry
The quantization of spontaneously broken gauge theories in noncommutative
geometry(NCG) has been sought for some time, because quantization is crucial
for making the NCG approach a reliable and physically acceptable theory. Lee,
Hwang and Ne'eman recently succeeded in realizing the BRST quantization of
gauge theories in NCG in the matrix derivative approach proposed by Coquereaux
et al. The present author has proposed a characteristic formulation to
reconstruct a gauge theory in NCG on the discrete space .
Since this formulation is a generalization of the differential geometry on the
ordinary manifold to that on the discrete manifold, it is more familiar than
other approaches. In this paper, we show that within our formulation we can
obtain the BRST invariant Lagrangian in the same way as Lee, Hwang and Ne'eman
and apply it to the SU(2)U(1) gauge theory.Comment: RevTeX, page
Millimeter- and Submillimeter-Wave Observations of the OMC-2/3 Region; I. Dispersing and Rotating Core around an Intermediate-mass Protostar MMS 7
We report the results of H13CO+(1-0), CO(1-0), and 3.3 mm dust continuum
observations toward one of the strongest mm-wave sources in OMC-3, MMS 7, with
the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA) and the Nobeyama 45 m telescope. With the
NMA, we detected centrally-condensed 3.3 mm dust-continuum emission which
coincides with the MIR source and the free-free jet. Our combined H13CO+
observations have revealed a disk-like envelope. The size and the mass of the
disk-like envelope are 0.15 times 0.11 pc and 5.1 - 9.1 M_sun, respectively.
The combined map also shows that the outer portion of the disk-like envelope
has a fan-shaped structure which delineates the rim of the CO(1-0) outflow
observed with the NMA. The position-velocity (P-V) diagrams in the H13CO+ (1-0)
emission show that the velocity field in the disk-like envelope is composed of
a dispersing gas motion and a possible rigid-like rotation. The mass dispersing
rate is estimated to be (3.4 - 6.0) times 10^-5 M_sun/yr, which implies that
MMS 7 has an ability to disperse ~10 M_sun during the protostellar evolutional
time of a few times 10^5 yr. The specific angular momentum of the possible
rotation in the disk-like envelope is nearly two orders of magnitude larger
than that in low-mass cores. The turn-over point of the power law of the
angular momentum distribution in the disk-like envelope (< 0.007 pc), which is
likely to be related to the outer radius of the central mass accretion, is
similar to the size of the 3.3 mm dust condensation. The intermediate-mass
protostar MMS 7 is in the last stage of the main accretion phase and that the
substantial portion of the outer gas has already been dispersed, while the mass
accretion may still be on-going at the innermost region traced by the dusty
condensation.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, ApJ accepted pape
Reconstruction of the spontaneously broken gauge theory in non-commutative geometry
The scheme previously proposed by the present authors is modified to
incorporate the strong interaction by affording the direct product internal
symmetry. We do not need to prepare the extra discrete space for the color
gauge group responsible for the strong interaction to reconstruct the standard
model and the left-right symmetric gauge model(LRSM). The approach based on
non-commutative geometry leads us to presents many attractive points such as
the unified picture of the gauge and Higgs field as the generalized connection
on the discrete space; Minkowski space multipied by N-points discrete space.
This approach leads us to unified picture of gauge and Higgs fields as the
generalized connection. The standard model needs N=2 discrete space for
reconstruction in this formalism. \lr is still alive as a model with the
intermediate symmetry of the spontaneously broken SO(10) grand unified
theory(GUT). N=3 discrete space is needed for the reconstruction of LRSM to
include two Higgs bosons and which are as usual transformed as
(2,2*,0)$ and (1,3,-2) under left-handed SU(2)x right-handed SU(2)x U(1),
respectively. xi is responsible to make the right handed-neutrino Majorana
fermion and so well explains the seesaw mechanism. Up and down quarks have the
different masses through the vacuum expectation value of phi.Comment: 21 page
