Magnetic properties of the spin-1/2 XXZ model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice: Effect of long-range interactions
We study magnetic properties of the Ising-like XXZ model on the
Shastry-Sutherland lattices with long-range interactions, using the quantum
Monte Carlo method. This model shows magnetization plateau phases at one-half
and one-third of the saturation magnetization when additional couplings are
considered. We investigate the finite temperature transition to one-half and
one-third plateau phases. The obtained results suggest that the former case is
of the first order and the latter case is of the second order. We also find
that the system undergoes two successive transitions with the 2D Ising model
universality, although there is a single phase transition in the Ising limit
case. Finally, we estimate the coupling ratio to explain the magnetization
process observed in Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
Relating quarks and leptons without grand-unification
In combination with supersymmetry, flavor symmetry may relate quarks with
leptons, even in the absence of a grand-unification group. We propose an
SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) model where both supersymmetry and the assumed A4 flavor
symmetries are softly broken, reproducing well the observed fermion mass
hierarchies and predicting: (i) a relation between down-type quarks and charged
lepton masses, and (ii) a correlation between the Cabibbo angle in the quark
sector, and the reactor angle characterizing CP violation in neutrino
oscillations.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, version published in PR
Tri-bimaximal Mixing and Cabibbo Angle in S4 Flavor Model with SUSY
We present a flavor model of quarks and leptons with the non-Abelian discrete
symmetry in the framework of the SU(5) SUSY GUT. Three generations of
-plets in SU(5) are assigned to of while the first and
second generations of 10-plets in SU(5) are assigned to of , and
the third generation of 10-plet is assigned to of . Right-handed
neutrinos are also assigned to for the first and second generations
and for the third generation. We predict the Cabibbo angle as well
as the tri-bimaximal mixing of neutrino flavors. We also predict the
non-vanishing of the neutrino flavor mixing due to higher dimensional
mass operators. Our predicted CKM mixing angles and the CP violation are
consistent with experimental values. We also study SUSY breaking terms in the
slepton sector. Our model leads to smaller values of flavor changing neutral
currents than the present experimental bounds.Comment: 32 pages, 4 figures, some references are added, with minor

Phases of a bilayer Fermi gas
We investigate a two-species Fermi gas in which one species is confined in
two parallel layers and interacts with the other species in the
three-dimensional space by a tunable short-range interaction. Based on the
controlled weak coupling analysis and the exact three-body calculation, we show
that the system has a rich phase diagram in the plane of the effective
scattering length and the layer separation. Resulting phases include an
interlayer s-wave pairing, an intralayer p-wave pairing, a dimer Bose-Einstein
condensation, and a Fermi gas of stable Efimov-like trimers. Our system
provides a widely applicable scheme to induce long-range interlayer
correlations in ultracold atoms.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures; (v2) stability of trimer is emphasized; (v3)

Schroedinger functional formalism with domain-wall fermion
Finite volume renormalization scheme is one of the most fascinating scheme
for non-perturbative renormalization on lattice.
By using the step scaling function one can follow running of renormalized
quantities with reasonable cost.
It has been established the Schroedinger functional is very convenient to
define a field theory in a finite volume for the renormalization scheme.
The Schroedinger functional, which is characterized by a
Dirichlet boundary condition in temporal direction, is well defined and works
well for the Yang-Mills theory and QCD with the Wilson fermion.
However one easily runs into difficulties if one sets the same sort of the
Dirichlet boundary condition for the overlap Dirac operator or the domain-wall
fermion.
In this paper we propose an orbifolding projection procedure to impose the
Schroedinger functional Dirichlet boundary condition on the domain-wall
fermion.Comment: 32 page
One loop renormalization for the axial Ward-Takahashi identity in Domain-wall QCD
We calculate one-loop correction to the axial Ward-Takahashi identity given
by Furman and Shamir in domain-wall QCD. It is shown perturbatively that the
renormalized axial Ward-Takahashi identity is satisfied without fine tuning and
the ``conserved'' axial current receives no renormalization, giving .
This fact will simplify the calculation of the pion decay constant in numerical
simulations since the decay constant defined by this current needs no lattice
renormalization factor.Comment: 16 pages, 3 axodraw.sty figure
Critical property of spin-glass transition in a bond-disordered classical antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with a biquadratic interaction
Motivated by puzzling spin-glass behaviors observed in many pyrochlore-based
magnets, effects of magnetoelastic coupling to local lattice distortions were
recently studied by the authors for a bond-disordered antiferromagnet on a
pyrochlore lattice [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 047204 (2011)]. Here, we extend the
analyses with focusing on the critical property of the spin-glass transition
which occurs concomitantly with a nematic transition. Finite-size scaling
analyses are performed up to a larger system size with 8192 spins to estimate
the transition temperature and critical exponents. The exponents are compared
with those in the absence of the magnetoelastic coupling and with those for the
canonical spin-glass systems. We also discuss the temperature dependence of the
specific heat in comparison with that in canonical spin-glass systems as well
as an experimental result.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, proceedings for LT2
Incommensurate--commensurate transitions in the mono-axial chiral helimagnet driven by the magnetic field
The zero temperature phase diagram of the mono-axial chiral helimagnet in the
magnetic field plane formed by the components parallel and perpendicular to the
helical axis is thoroughly analyzed. The nature of the transition to the
commensurate state depends on the angle between the field and the helical axis.
For field directions close to the directions parallel or perpendicular to the
helical axis the transition is continuous, while for intermediate angles the
transition is discontinuous and the incommensurate and commensurate states
coexist on the transition line. The continuous and discontinuous transition
lines are separated by two tricritical points with specific singular behaviour.
The location of the continuous and discontinuous lines and of the tricritical
points depend strongly on the easy-plane anisotropy, the effect of which is
analyzed. For large anisotropy the conical approximation locates the transition
line very accurately, although it does not predict the continuous transitions
nor the tricitical behaviour. It is shown that for large anisotropy, as in
CrNb3S6, the form of the transition line is universal, that is, independent of
the sample, and obeys a simple equation. The position of the tricritical
points, which is not universal, is theoretically estimated for a sample of
