Electronic Structure of Disclinated Graphene in an Uniform Magnetic Field
The electronic structure in the vicinity of the 1-heptagonal and 1-pentagonal
defects in the carbon graphene plane is investigated. Using a continuum gauge
field-theory model the local density of states around the Fermi energy is
calculated for both cases. In this model, the disclination is represented by an
SO(2) gauge vortex and corresponding metric follows from the elasticity
properties of the graphene membrane. To enhance the interval of energies, a
self-consistent perturbation scheme is used. The Landau states are investigated
and compared with the predicted values.Comment: keywords: graphene, heptagonal defect, elasticity, carbon nanohorns,

Measurement of \Gamma_{ee}(J/\psi)*Br(J/\psi->e^+e^-) and \Gamma_{ee}(J/\psi)*Br(J/\psi->\mu^+\mu^-)
The products of the electron width of the J/\psi meson and the branching
fraction of its decays to the lepton pairs were measured using data from the
KEDR experiment at the VEPP-4M electron-positron collider. The results are
\Gamma_{ee}(J/\psi)*Br(J/\psi->e^+e^-)=(0.3323\pm0.0064\pm0.0048) keV,
\Gamma_{ee}(J/\psi)*Br(J/\psi->\mu^+\mu^-)=(0.3318\pm0.0052\pm0.0063) keV.
Their combinations
\Gamma_{ee}\times(\Gamma_{ee}+\Gamma_{\mu\mu})/\Gamma=(0.6641\pm0.0082\pm0.0100)
keV,
\Gamma_{ee}/\Gamma_{\mu\mu}=1.002\pm0.021\pm0.013 can be used to improve
theaccuracy of the leptonic and full widths and test leptonic universality.
Assuming e\mu universality and using the world average value of the lepton
branching fraction, we also determine the leptonic \Gamma_{ll}=5.59\pm0.12 keV
and total \Gamma=94.1\pm2.7 keV widths of the J/\psi meson.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
New precise determination of the \tau lepton mass at KEDR detector
The status of the experiment on the precise lepton mass measurement
running at the VEPP-4M collider with the KEDR detector is reported. The mass
value is evaluated from the cross section behaviour around the
production threshold. The preliminary result based on 6.7 pb of data is
MeV. Using 0.8 pb of data
collected at the peak the preliminary result is also obtained:

Search for narrow resonances in e+ e- annihilation between 1.85 and 3.1 GeV with the KEDR Detector
We report results of a search for narrow resonances in e+ e- annihilation at
center-of-mass energies between 1.85 and 3.1 GeV performed with the KEDR
detector at the VEPP-4M e+ e- collider. The upper limit on the leptonic width
of a narrow resonance Gamma(R -> ee) Br(R -> hadr) < 120 eV has been obtained
(at 90 % C.L.)
Measurement of main parameters of the \psi(2S) resonance
A high-precision determination of the main parameters of the \psi(2S)
resonance has been performed with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e^{+}e^{-}
collider in three scans of the \psi(2S) -- \psi(3770) energy range. Fitting the
energy dependence of the multihadron cross section in the vicinity of the
\psi(2S) we obtained the mass value
M = 3686.114 +- 0.007 +- 0.011 ^{+0.002}_{-0.012} MeV and the product of the
electron partial width by the branching fraction into hadrons \Gamma_{ee}*B_{h}
= 2.233 +- 0.015 +- 0.037 +- 0.020 keV.
The third error quoted is an estimate of the model dependence of the result
due to assumptions on the interference effects in the cross section of the
single-photon e^{+}e^{-} annihilation to hadrons explicitly considered in this
work.
Implicitly, the same assumptions were employed to obtain the charmonium
leptonic width and the absolute branching fractions in many experiments.
Using the result presented and the world average values of the electron and
hadron branching fractions, one obtains the electron partial width and the
total width of the \psi(2S):
\Gamma_{ee} =2.282 +- 0.015 +- 0.038 +- 0.021 keV,
\Gamma = 296 +- 2 +- 8 +- 3 keV.
These results are consistent with and more than two times more precise than
any of the previous experiments
Heat kernel expansion: user's manual
The heat kernel expansion is a very convenient tool for studying one-loop
divergences, anomalies and various asymptotics of the effective action. The aim
of this report is to collect useful information on the heat kernel coefficients
scattered in mathematical and physical literature. We present explicit
expressions for these coefficients on manifolds with and without boundaries,
subject to local and non-local boundary conditions, in the presence of various
types of singularities (e.g., domain walls). In each case the heat kernel
coefficients are given in terms of several geometric invariants. These
invariants are derived for scalar and spinor theories with various
interactions, Yang-Mills fields, gravity, and open bosonic strings. We discuss
the relations between the heat kernel coefficients and quantum anomalies,
corresponding anomalous actions, and covariant perturbation expansions of the
effective action (both "low-" and "high-energy" ones).Comment: 113 pp, to be submitted to Phys.Repts, v2: added references and

Ortho-Quinone methides as key intermediates in cascade heterocyclizations
Development of new methods of heterocyclic synthesis is still a topical issue. In this connection, the trend related to the use of highly reactive o-quinone methides for the synthesis and functionalization of heterocycles appears rather promising. Since most of o-quinone methides are unstable, the choice of precursors and generation conditions is highly important for subsequent transformations involving them. Various methods of generation of o-quinone methides and cascade hetero- cyclizations in which the formation of these compounds is a key step are surveyed in the review. The trends of using o-quinone methides in the synthesis of various heterocycles are analyzed and the heterocyclization reactions involving these compounds are classified. © 2017 Russian Academy of Sciences and Turpion Ltd
