Corrections to Sirlin's Theorem in Chiral Perturbation Theory
We present the results of the first two-loop calculation of a form factor in
full Chiral Perturbation Theory. We choose a specific
linear combination of and form factors (the one
appearing in Sirlin's theorem) which does not get contributions from order
operators with unknown constants. For the charge radii, the correction to
the previous one-loop result turns out to be significant, but still there is no
agreement with the present data due to large experimental uncertainties in the
kaon charge radii.Comment: 6 pages, Latex, 2 LaTeX figure
An infinite family of superintegrable Hamiltonians with reflection in the plane
We introduce a new infinite class of superintegrable quantum systems in the
plane. Their Hamiltonians involve reflection operators. The associated
Schr\"odinger equations admit separation of variables in polar coordinates and
are exactly solvable. The angular part of the wave function is expressed in
terms of little -1 Jacobi polynomials. The spectra exhibit "accidental"
degeneracies. The superintegrability of the model is proved using the
recurrence relation approach. The (higher-order) constants of motion are
constructed and the structure equations of the symmetry algebra obtained.Comment: 19 page
Convergence of resonances on thin branched quantum wave guides
We prove an abstract criterion stating resolvent convergence in the case of
operators acting in different Hilbert spaces. This result is then applied to
the case of Laplacians on a family X_\eps of branched quantum waveguides.
Combining it with an exterior complex scaling we show, in particular, that the
resonances on X_\eps approximate those of the Laplacian with ``free''
boundary conditions on , the skeleton graph of X_\eps.Comment: 48 pages, 1 figur
