Triple and quartic interactions of Higgs bosons in the two-Higgs-doublet model with CP violation
We consider the two-Higgs-doublet model with explicit CP-violation, where the
effective Higgs potential is not CP-invariant at the tree-level. Three neutral
Higgs bosons of the model are the mixtures of CP-even and CP-odd bosons which
exist in the CP-conserving limit of the theory. The mass spectrum and
tree-level couplings of the neutral Higgs bosons to gauge bosons and fermions
are significantly dependent on the parameters of the Higgs boson mixing matrix.
We calculate the Higgs-gauge boson, Higgs-fermion, triple and quartic Higgs
self-interactions in the MSSM with explicit CP-violation in the Higgs sector
and CP-violating Yukawa interactions of the third generation scalar quarks. In
some regions of the MSSM parameter space substantial changes of the
self-interaction vertices take place, leading to significant suppression or
enhancement of the multiple Higgs boson production cross sections.Comment: 29 pages, 4 figures. Minor changes in section 3, misprints in (47)

Engineering physics of superconducting hot-electron bolometer mixers
Superconducting hot-electron bolometers are presently the best performing
mixing devices for the frequency range beyond 1.2 THz, where good quality
superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) devices do not exist. Their
physical appearance is very simple: an antenna consisting of a normal metal,
sometimes a normal metal-superconductor bilayer, connected to a thin film of a
narrow, short superconductor with a high resistivity in the normal state. The
device is brought into an optimal operating regime by applying a dc current and
a certain amount of local- oscillator power. Despite this technological
simplicity its operation has been found to be controlled by many different
aspects of superconductivity, all occurring simultaneously. A core ingredient
is the understanding that there are two sources of resistance in a
superconductor: a charge conversion resistance occurring at an
normal-metal-superconductor interface and a resistance due to time- dependent
changes of the superconducting phase. The latter is responsible for the actual
mixing process in a non-uniform superconducting environment set up by the
bias-conditions and the geometry. The present understanding indicates that
further improvement needs to be found in the use of other materials with a
faster energy-relaxation rate. Meanwhile several empirical parameters have
become physically meaningful indicators of the devices, which will facilitate
the technological developments.Comment: This is an author-processed copy of an Invited contribution to the

Quasi-two-dimensional complex plasma containing spherical particles and their binary agglomerates
A new type of quasi-two-dimensional complex plasma system was observed which
consisted of monodisperse microspheres and their binary agglomerations
(dimers). The particles and their dimers levitated in a plasma sheath at
slightly different heights and formed two distinct sublayers. The sys- tem did
not crystallize and may be characterized as disordered solid. The dimers were
identified based on their characteristic appearance in defocused images, i.e.,
rotating interference fringe pat- terns. The in-plane and inter-plane particle
separations exhibit nonmonotonic dependence on the discharge pressure which
agrees well with theoretical predictions
Classical and Quantum Nonultralocal Systems on the Lattice
We classify nonultralocal Poisson brackets for 1-dimensional lattice systems
and describe the corresponding regularizations of the Poisson bracket relations
for the monodromy matrix . A nonultralocal quantum algebras on the lattices for
these systems are constructed.For some class of such algebras an
ultralocalization procedure is proposed.The technique of the modified
Bethe-Anzatz for these algebras is developed.This technique is applied to the
nonlinear sigma model problem.Comment: 33 pp. Latex. The file is resubmitted since it was spoiled during

Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction for difference operators and deformations of W-algebras. II. General Semisimple Case
The paper is the sequel to q-alg/9704011. We extend the Drinfeld-Sokolov
reduction procedure to q-difference operators associated with arbitrary
semisimple Lie algebras. This leads to a new elliptic deformation of the Lie
bialgebra structure on the associated loop algebra. The related classical
r-matrix is explicitly described in terms of the Coxeter transformation. We
also present a cross-section theorem for q-gauge transformations which
generalizes a theorem due to R.Steinberg.Comment: 19 pp., AMS-LaTeX. The paper replaces a temporarily withdrawn text;
the first part (written by E. Frenkel, N. Reshetikhin, and M. A.

Dual parametrization of GPDs versus the double distribution Ansatz
We establish a link between the dual parametrization of GPDs and a popular
parametrization based on the double distribution Ansatz, which is in prevalent
use in phenomenological applications. We compute several first forward-like
functions that express the double distribution Ansatz for GPDs in the framework
of the dual parametrization and show that these forward-like functions make the
dominant contribution into the GPD quintessence function. We also argue that
the forward-like functions with contribute to the
leading singular small- behavior of the imaginary part of DVCS
amplitude. This makes the small- behavior of \im A^{DVCS} independent
of the asymptotic behavior of PDFs. Assuming analyticity of Mellin moments of
GPDs in the Mellin space we are able to fix the value of the -form factor in
terms of the GPD quintessence function and the forward-like function

Thermal budget of superconducting digital circuits at sub-kelvin temperatures
Superconducting single-flux-quantum (SFQ) circuits have so far been developed
and optimized for operation at or above helium temperatures. The SFQ approach,
however, should also provide potentially viable and scalable control and
read-out circuits for Josephson-junction qubits and other applications with
much lower, milli-kelvin, operating temperatures. This paper analyzes the
overheating problem which becomes important in this new temperature range. We
suggest a thermal model of the SFQ circuits at sub-kelvin temperatures and
present experimental results on overheating of electrons and silicon substrate
which support this model. The model establishes quantitative limitations on the
dissipated power both for "local" electron overheating in resistors and
"global" overheating due to ballistic phonon propagation along the substrate.
Possible changes in the thermal design of SFQ circuits in view of the
overheating problem are also discussed.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, submitted to J. Appl. Phy
