The Stochastic Quantization Method in Phase Space and a New Gauge Fixing Procedure

We study the stochastic quantization of the system with first class constraints in phase space. Though the Langevin equations of the canonical variables are defined without ordinary gauge fixing procedure, gauge fixing conditions are automatically selected and introduced by imposing stochastic consistency conditions upon the first class constraints. Then the equilibrium solution of the Fokker-Planck equation is identical with corresponding path integral distribution.Comment: 18 pages (Plain TeX), CHIBA-EP-7

(D+1)-Dimensional Formulation for D-Dimensional Constrained Systems

D-dimensional constrained systems are studied with stochastic Lagrangian and\break Hamiltonian. It is shown that stochastic consistency conditions are second class constraints and Lagrange multiplier fields can be determined in (D+1)-dimensional canonical formulation. The Langevin equations for the constrained system are obtained as Hamilton's equations of motion where conjugate momenta play a part of noise fields.Comment: 10 pages (Plain TeX), CHIBA-EP-58-Re

Dynamical Symmetry Breaking on Langevin Equation : Nambu ⋅\cdot Jona-Lasinio Model

In order to investigate dynamical symmetry breaking, we study Nambu$\cdot$Jona-Lasinio model in the large-N limit in the stochastic quantization method. Here in order to solve Langevin equation, we impose specified initial conditions and construct ``effective Langevin equation'' in the large-N limit and give the same non-perturbative results as path-integral approach gives. Moreover we discuss stability of vacuum by means of ``effective potential''.Comment: 12 pages (Plain TeX), 7 figures(not included, sorry!), CHIBA-EP-6

Eternally accelerating spacelike braneworld cosmologies

We construct an eternally inflating spacelike brane world model. If the space dimension of the brane is three (SM2) or six (SM5) for M theory or four (SD3) for superstring theory, a time-dependent $n$-form field would supply a constant energy density and cause exponentially expansion of the spacelike brane. In these cases, the hyperbolic space perpendicular to the brane would not vary in size. In the other cases, however, the extra space would vary in size.Comment: 8 pages, Mod. Phys. Lett.

Ferromagnetic insulating phase in Pr{1-x}Ca{x}MnO3

A ferromagnetic insulating (FM-I) state in Pr0.75Ca0.25MnO3 has been studied by neutron scattering experiment and theoretical calculation. The insulating behavior is robust against an external magnetic field, and is ascribed to neither the phase separation between a ferromagnetic metallic (FM-M) phase and a non-ferromagnetic insulating one, nor the charge ordering. We found that the Jahn-Teller type lattice distortion is much weaker than PrMnO3 and the magnetic interaction is almost isotropic. These features resembles the ferromagnetic metallic state of manganites, but the spin exchange interaction J is much reduced compared to the FM-M state. The theoretical calculation based on the staggered type orbital order well reproduces several features of the spin and orbital state in the FM-I phase.Comment: REVTeX4, 10 pages, 9 figure

Specific Heat and Superfluid Density for Possible Two Different Superconducting States in NaxCoO2.yH2O

Several thermodynamic measurements for the cobaltate superconductor, NaxCoO2.yH2O, have so far provided results inconsistent with each other. In order to solve the discrepancies, we microscopically calculate the temperature dependences of specific heat and superfluid density for this superconductor. We show that two distinct specific-heat data from Oeschler et al. and Jin et al. are reproduced, respectively, for the extended s-wave state and the p-wave state. Two different superfluid-density data are also reproduced for each case. These support our recent proposal of possible two different pairing states in this material. In addition, we discuss the experimentally proposed large residual Sommerfeld coefficient and extremely huge effective carrier mass.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, Submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp

Roles of Bond Alternation in Magnetic Phase Diagram of RMnO3

In order to investigate nature of the antiferromagnetic structures in perovskite RMnO3, we study a Heisenberg J1-J2 model with bond alternation using analytical and numerical approaches. The magnetic phase diagram which includes incommensurate spiral states and commensurate collinear states is reproduced. We discuss that the magnetic structure with up-up-down-down spin configuration (E-type structure) and the ferroelectricity emerge cooperatively to stabilize this phase. Magnetoelastic couplings are crucial to understand the magnetic and electric phase diagram of RMnO3.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
