Nonlinearity of vacuum reggeons and exclusive diffractive production of vector mesons at HERA

The processes of exclusive photo- and electroproduction of vector mesons $\rho^0$(770), $\phi$(1020) and $J/\psi$(3096) at collision energies $30 GeV<W<300 GeV$ and transferred momenta squared $0<-t<2 GeV^2$ are considered in the framework of a phenomenological Regge-eikonal scheme with nonlinear Regge trajectories in which their QCD asymptotic behavior is taken into account explicitly. By comparison of available experimental data from ZEUS and H1 Collaborations with the model predictions it is demonstrated that corresponding angular distributions and integrated cross-sections in the above-mentioned kinematical range can be quantitatively described with use of two $C$-even vacuum Regge trajectories. These are the "soft" pomeron dominating the high energy reactions without a hard scale and the "hard" pomeron giving an essential contribution to photo- and electroproduction of heavy vector mesons and deeply virtual electroproduction of light vector mesons.Comment: 25 pages, 12 figure

Two- and three-body problem with Floquet-driven zero-range interactions

We study the two-body scattering problem in the zero-range approximation with a sinusoidally driven scattering length and calculate the relation between the mean value and amplitude of the drive for which the effective scattering amplitude is resonantly enhanced. In this manner we arrive at a family of curves along which the effective scattering length diverges but the nature of the corresponding Floquet-induced resonance changes from narrow to wide. Remarkably, on these curves the driving does not induce heating. In order to study the effect of these resonances on the three-body problem we consider one light and two heavy particles with driven heavy-light interaction in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and find that the Floquet driving can be used to tune the three-body and inelasticity parameters.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figure

Dynamically Generated Open and Hidden Charm Meson Systems

We will study open and hidden charm scalar meson resonances within two different models. The first one is a direct application of a chiral Lagrangian already used to study flavor symmetry breaking in Skyrme models. In another approach to the problem a SU(4) symmetric Lagrangian is built and the symmetry is broken down to SU(3) by identifying currents where heavy mesons are exchanged and suppressing those. Unitarization in couple channels leads to dynamical generation of resonances in both models, in particular a new hidden charm resonance with mass 3.7 GeV is predicted. The small differences between these models and with previous works will be discussed.Comment: 32 pages, 10 figures.

Elliptic fibrations associated with the Einstein spacetimes

Given a conformally nonflat Einstein spacetime we define a fibration $P$ over it. The fibres of this fibration are elliptic curves (2-dimensional tori) or their degenerate counterparts. Their topology depends on the algebraic type of the Weyl tensor of the Einstein metric. The fibration $P$ is a double branched cover of the bundle of null direction over the spacetime and is equipped with six linearly independent 1-forms which satisfy certain relatively simple system of equations.Comment: 15 pages, Late
