From scalar to string confinement
We outline a connection between scalar quark confinement, a
phenomenologically successful concept heretofore lacking fundamental
justification, and QCD. Although scalar confinement does not follow from QCD,
there is an interesting and close relationship between them. We develop a
simple model intermediate between scalar confinement and the QCD string for
illustrative purposes. Finally, we find the bound state masses of scalar,
time-component vector, and string confinement analytically through
semi-classical quantization.Comment: ReVTeX, 9 pages, 5 figure
Static response of Fermi liquids with tensor interactions
We use Landau's theory of a normal Fermi liquid to derive expressions for the
static response of a system with a general tensor interaction that conserves
the total spin and the total angular momentum of the quasiparticle-quasihole
pair. The magnetic susceptibility is calculated in detail, with the inclusion
of the center of mass tensor and cross vector terms in addition to the exchange
tensor one. We also introduce a new parametrization of the tensor Landau
parameters which significantly reduces the importance of high angular harmonic
contributions. For nuclear matter and neutron matter we find that the two most
important effects of the tensor interaction are to give a contribution from
multipair states and to renormalize the magnetic moments. Response to a weak
probe may be calculated using similar methods, replacing the magnetic moments
with the matrix elements of the weak charges
The Contribution of the Light Quark Condensate to the Pion-Nucleon Sigma Term
There has been a discrepancy between values of the pion-nucleon sigma term
extracted by two different methods for many years. Analysis of recent high
precision pion-nucleon data has widened the gap between the two determinations.
It is argued that the two extractions correspond to different quantities and
that the difference between them can be understood and calculated.Comment: Modern Physics Letters A (in press
Analytic Quantization of the QCD String
We perform an analytic semi-classical quantization of the straight QCD string
with one end fixed and a massless quark on the other, in the limits of orbital
and radial dominant motion. We compare our results to the exact numerical
semi-classical quantization. We observe that the numerical semi-classical
quantization agrees well with our exact numerical canonical quantization.Comment: RevTeX, 10 pages, 9 figure

Unitary ambiguity in the extraction of the E2/M1 ratio for the transition
The resonant electric quadrupole amplitude in the transition is of great interest for the understanding of
baryon structure. Various dynamical models have been developed to extract it
from the corresponding photoproduction multipole of pions on nucleons. It is
shown that once such a model is specified, a whole class of unitarily
equivalent models can be constructed, all of them providing exactly the same
fit to the experimental data. However, they may predict quite different
resonant amplitudes. Therefore, the extraction of the E2/M1() ratio (bare or dressed) which is based on a dynamical
model using a largely phenomenological interaction is not unique.Comment: 10 pages revtex including 4 postscript figure
Semi-leptonic B decays into higher charmed resonances
We apply HQET to semi-leptonic meson decays into a variety of excited
charm states. Using three realistic meson models with fermionic light degrees
of freedom, we examine the extent that the sum of exclusive single charmed
states account for the inclusive semi-leptonic decay rate. The consistency
of form factors with the Bjorken and Voloshin sum rules is also investigated.Comment: Latex, 27 pages. A few references and errors corrected, to appear in

Spectrum of Curvature Perturbation of Multi-field Inflation with Small-Field Potential
In this paper, we have studied the spectrum of curvature perturbation of
multi-field inflation with general small-field potential. We assume that the
isocurvature perturbation may be neglected, and by using the Sasaki-Stewart
formalism, we found that the spectrum may be redder or bluer than of its
corresponding single field. The result depends upon the values of fields and
their effective masses at the horizon-crossing time. We discuss the relevant
cases.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, to publish in JCA
