The CPT group of the spin-3/2 field
We find out that both the matrix and the operator CPT groups of the spin-3/2
field (with or without mass) are respectively isomorphic to
and . These groups are exactly
the same groups as for the Dirac field, though there is no a priori reason why
they should coincide.Comment: 9 pages. We are replacing the original version (v1) because there was
a mistake in the calculation which led to wrong group
Branching Ratio and CP-asymmetry for B-> 1^{1}P_{1}gamma decays
We calculate the branching ratios for B_{d}^{0}->(b_{1},h_{1})gamma at
next-to-leading order (NLO) of alpha_{s} where b_{1} and h_{1} are the
corresponding radially excited axial vector mesons of rho and omega
respectively. Using the SU(3)symmetry for the form factor, the branching ratio
for B_{d}^{0}->(b_{1},h_{1})gamma is expressed in terms of the branching ratio
of the B_{d}^{0}-> K_{1}gamma and it is found to be
B(B_{d}^{0}->b_{1}gamma)=0.71* 10^{-6} and B(B_{d}^{0}-> h_{1}gamma)
=0.74*10^{-6}. We also calculate direct CP asymmetry for these decays and find,
in confirmity with the observations made in the literature, that the hard
spectator contributions significantely reduces the asymmetry arising from the
vertex corrections alone. The value of CP-asymmetry is 10% and is negative like
rho and omega in the Standard Model.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
Branching ratio for B -> K_1 gamma decay in next-to-leading order in LEET
Branching ratio for B -> K_1 gamma at next-to-leading order of alpha_s has
been calculated in Large Energy Effective Theory. By incorporating the higher
twist effects in light cone decay amplitude for axial K-meson, it is shown that
the form factor is not sensitive to these twists.Comment: 9 postscript figures, text 9 page
The tip-link antigen, a protein associated with the transduction complex of sensory hair cells, is protocadherin-15
Sound and acceleration are detected by hair bundles, mechanosensory structures located at the apical pole of hair cells in the inner ear. The different elements of the hair bundle, the stereocilia and a kinocilium, are interconnected by a variety of link types. One of these links, the tip link, connects the top of a shorter stereocilium with the lateral membrane of an adjacent taller stereocilium and may gate the mechanotransducer channel of the hair cell. Mass spectrometric and Western blot analyses identify the tip-link antigen, a hitherto unidentified antigen specifically associated with the tip and kinocilial links of sensory hair bundles in the inner ear and the ciliary calyx of photoreceptors in the eye, as an avian ortholog of human protocadherin-15, a product of the gene for the deaf/blindness Usher syndrome type 1F/DFNB23 locus. Multiple protocadherin-15 transcripts are shown to be expressed in the mouse inner ear, and these define four major isoform classes, two with entirely novel, previously unidentified cytoplasmic domains. Antibodies to the three cytoplasmic domain-containing isoform classes reveal that each has a different spatiotemporal expression pattern in the developing and mature inner ear. Two isoforms are distributed in a manner compatible for association with the tip-link complex. An isoform located at the tips of stereocilia is sensitive to calcium chelation and proteolysis with subtilisin and reappears at the tips of stereocilia as transduction recovers after the removal of calcium chelators. Protocadherin-15 is therefore associated with the tip-link complex and may be an integral component of this structure and/or required for its formatio
Hyperon Nonleptonic Weak Decays Revisited
We first review the current algebra - PCAC approach to nonleptonic octet
baryon 14 weak decay B (\to) (B^{\prime})(\pi) amplitudes. The needed four
parameters are independently determined by (\Omega \to \Xi \pi),(\Lambda K) and
(\Xi ^{-}\to \Sigma ^{-}\gamma) weak decays in dispersion theory tree order. We
also summarize the recent chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) version of the
eight independent B (\to) (B^{\prime}\pi) weak (\Delta I) = 1/2 amplitudes
containing considerably more than eight low-energy weak constants in one-loop
order.Comment: 10 pages, RevTe
Proving the Low Energy Theorem of Hidden Local Symmetry
Based on the Ward-Takahashi identity for the BRS symmetry, we prove to all
orders of the loop expansion the low energy theorem of hidden local symmetry
for the vector mesons (KSRF (I) relation) in the
/ nonlinear chiral Lagrangian.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, DPNU-93-01/KUNS-117
