Eight-quark interactions as a chiral thermometer
A NJL Lagrangian extended to six and eight quark interactions is applied to
study temperature effects (SU(3) flavor limit, massless case), and (realistic
massive case). The transition temperature can be considerably reduced as
compared to the standard approach, in accordance with recent lattice
calculations. The mesonic spectra built on the spontaneously broken vacuum
induced by the 't Hooft interaction strength, as opposed to the commonly
considered case driven by the four-quark coupling, undergoes a rapid crossover
to the unbroken phase, with a slope and at a temperature which is regulated by
the strength of the OZI violating eight-quark interactions. This strength can
be adjusted in consonance with the four-quark coupling and leaves the spectra
unchanged, except for the sigma meson mass, which decreases. A first order
transition behavior is also a possible solution within the present approach.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, prepared for the proceedings of Quark Matter 2008

Low-temperature thermal conductivity in polycrystalline graphene
The low-temperature thermal conductivity in polycrystalline graphene is
theoretically studied. The contributions from three branches of acoustic
phonons are calculated by taking into account scattering on sample borders,
point defects and grain boundaries. Phonon scattering due to sample borders and
grain boundaries is shown to result in a -behaviour in the thermal
conductivity where varies between 1 and 2. This behaviour is found to
be more pronounced for nanosized grain boundaries.

The accuracy of merging approximation in generalized St. Petersburg games
Merging asymptotic expansions of arbitrary length are established for the
distribution functions and for the probabilities of suitably centered and
normalized cumulative winnings in a full sequence of generalized St. Petersburg
games, extending the short expansions due to Cs\"org\H{o}, S., Merging
asymptotic expansions in generalized St. Petersburg games, \textit{Acta Sci.
Math. (Szeged)} \textbf{73} 297--331, 2007. These expansions are given in terms
of suitably chosen members from the classes of subsequential semistable
infinitely divisible asymptotic distribution functions and certain derivatives
of these functions. The length of the expansion depends upon the tail
parameter. Both uniform and nonuniform bounds are presented.Comment: 30 pages long version (to appear in Journal of Theoretical

High-Energy X-ray Radiation Registration Model
It is proved the necessity for carrying out computing experiments according to the mean value and the square of registered X-ray photons absorbed energy of in a scintillation detector. The offered imitation model of the transfer and registration of high-energy X-ray radiation in a sensing volume of CsI and CdWO[4] scintillation detectors is based on a Monte Carlo method. The model considers leakage of secondary photons and electrons. It is offered approaches to justification of adequacy of the developed model of a high-energy X-ray radiation registration
Non-Degenerate Ultrametric Diffusion
General non-degenerate p-adic operators of ultrametric diffusion are
introduced. Bases of eigenvectors for the introduced operators are constructed
and the corresponding eigenvalues are computed. Properties of the corresponding
dynamics (i.e. of the ultrametric diffusion) are investigated.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figure
