From Perturbation Theory to Confinement: How the String Tension is built up
We study the spatial volume dependence of electric flux energies for SU(2)
Yang-Mills fields on the torus with twisted boundary conditions. The results
approach smoothly the rotational invariant Confinement regime. The would-be
string tension is very close to the infinite volume result already for volumes
of . We speculate on the consequences of our result for
the Confinement mechanism.Comment: 6p, ps-file (uuencoded). Contribution to Lattice'93 Conference

No solvable lambda-value term left behind
In the lambda calculus a term is solvable iff it is operationally relevant.
Solvable terms are a superset of the terms that convert to a final result
called normal form. Unsolvable terms are operationally irrelevant and can be
equated without loss of consistency. There is a definition of solvability for
the lambda-value calculus, called v-solvability, but it is not synonymous with
operational relevance, some lambda-value normal forms are unsolvable, and
unsolvables cannot be consistently equated. We provide a definition of
solvability for the lambda-value calculus that does capture operational
relevance and such that a consistent proof-theory can be constructed where
unsolvables are equated attending to the number of arguments they take (their
"order" in the jargon). The intuition is that in lambda-value the different
sequentialisations of a computation can be distinguished operationally. We
prove a version of the Genericity Lemma stating that unsolvable terms are
generic and can be replaced by arbitrary terms of equal or greater order.Comment: 43 page
Optimality of programmable quantum measurements
We prove that for a programmable measurement device that approximates every
POVM with an error , the dimension of the program space has to grow
at least polynomially with . In the case of qubits we can
improve the general result by showing a linear growth. This proves the
optimality of the programmable measurement devices recently designed in [G. M.

Isolated vacua in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories
An explicit proof of the existence of nontrivial vacua in the pure
supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with higher orthogonal SO(N), N>=7 or the
G_2 gauge group defined on a 3-torus with periodic boundary conditions is
given. Extra vacuum states are separated by an energy barrier from the
perturbative vacuum A_i=0 and its gauge copies.Comment: 8 pages, no figures, late
Gauge invariant structures and Confinement
By looking at cooled configurations on the lattice, we study the presence of
peaks in the action density, or its electric and magnetic components, in the
SU(2) gauge vacuum. The peaks are seen to be of instanton-like nature and their
number variation takes care of the drop in the string tension observed when
cooling. Possible explanations of this finding are analysed.Comment: uuencoded and compressed file of the Postcript file newpaper.ps,

A model for conservative chaos constructed from multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates with a trap in 2 dimensions
To show a mechanism leading to the breakdown of a particle picture for the
multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates(BECs) with a harmonic trap in high
dimensions, we investigate the corresponding 2- nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger
equation (Gross-Pitaevskii equation) with use of a modified variational
principle. A molecule of two identical Gaussian wavepackets has two degrees of
freedom(DFs), the separation of center-of-masses and the wavepacket width.
Without the inter-component interaction(ICI) these DFs show independent regular
oscillations with the degenerate eigen-frequencies. The inclusion of ICI
strongly mixes these DFs, generating a fat mode that breaks a particle picture,
which however can be recovered by introducing a time-periodic ICI with zero
average. In case of the molecule of three wavepackets for a three-component
BEC, the increase of amplitude of ICI yields a transition from regular to
chaotic oscillations in the wavepacket breathing.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Instanton classical solutions of SU(3) fixed point actions on open lattices
We construct instanton-like classical solutions of the fixed point action of
a suitable renormalization group transformation for the SU(3) lattice gauge
theory. The problem of the non-existence of one-instantons on a lattice with
periodic boundary conditions is circumvented by working on open lattices. We
consider instanton solutions for values of the size (0.6-1.9 in lattice units)
which are relevant when studying the SU(3) topology on coarse lattices using
fixed point actions. We show how these instanton configurations on open
lattices can be taken into account when determining a few-couplings
parametrization of the fixed point action.Comment: 23 pages, LaTeX, 4 eps figures, epsfig.sty; some comments adde
An extended Agassi model: algebraic structure, phase diagram, and large size limit
The Agassi model is a schematic two-level model that involves pairing and
monopole-monopole interactions. It is, therefore, an extension of the well
known Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model. In this paper we review the algebraic
formulation of an extension of the Agassi model as well as its bosonic
realization through the Schwinger representation. Moreover, a mean-field
approximation for the model is presented and its phase diagram discussed.
Finally, a analysis, with proportional to the degeneracy of each
level, is worked out to obtain the thermodynamic limit of the ground state
energy and some order parameters from the exact Hamiltonian diagonalization for
finite.Comment: Accepted in Physica Scripta. Focus on SSNET 201
