The fluctuations of the giant cluster for percolation on random split trees

A split tree of cardinality $n$ is constructed by distributing $n$ "balls" in a subset of vertices of an infinite tree which encompasses many types of random trees such as $m$-ary search trees, quad trees, median-of-$(2k+1)$ trees, fringe-balanced trees, digital search trees and random simplex trees. In this work, we study Bernoulli bond percolation on arbitrary split trees of large but finite cardinality $n$. We show for appropriate percolation regimes that depend on the cardinality $n$ of the split tree that there exists a unique giant cluster, the fluctuations of the size of the giant cluster as $n \rightarrow \infty$ are described by an infinitely divisible distribution that belongs to the class of stable Cauchy laws. This work generalizes the results for the random $m$-ary recursive trees in Berzunza (2015). Our approach is based on a remarkable decomposition of the size of the giant percolation cluster as a sum of essentially independent random variables which may be useful for studying percolation on other trees with logarithmic height; for instance in this work we study also the case of regular trees.Comment: 43 page

Isospin symmetry breaking of K and K* mesons

We use the method of QCD sum rules to investigate the isospin symmetry breaking of K and K* mesons. The electromagnetic effect, difference between up and down current-quark masses and difference between up and down quark condensates are important. We perform sum rule analyses of their masses and decay constant differences, which are consistent with experimental values. Our results yield Delta f_K = f_{K^0} - f_{K^\pm} = 1.5 MeV.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, one reference adde

Light Scalar Mesons in the QCD Sum Rule

We study the light scalar mesons in the QCD sum rule. We find that there are five independent scalar tetraquark currents in the local form, and we perform QCD sum rule analysis using both these currents and their combinations. Compared with the sum rules by conventional \bar{q} q currents, our result supports a tetraquark structure for low-lying scalar mesons.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure.

Weak Decays of Doubly Heavy Baryons: Multi-body Decay Channels

The newly-discovered $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ decays into the $\Lambda_{c}^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$, but the experimental data has indicated that this decay is not saturated by any two-body intermediate state. In this work, we analyze the multi-body weak decays of doubly heavy baryons $\Xi_{cc}$, $\Omega_{cc}$, $\Xi_{bc}$, $\Omega_{bc}$, $\Xi_{bb}$ and $\Omega_{bb}$, in particular the three-body nonleptonic decays and four-body semileptonic decays. We classify various decay modes according to the quark-level transitions and present an estimate of the typical branching fractions for a few golden decay channels. Decay amplitudes are then parametrized in terms of a few SU(3) irreducible amplitudes. With these amplitudes, we find a number of relations for decay widths, which can be examined in future.Comment: 47pages, 1figure. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1707.0657

Light vector meson and heavy baryon strong interaction

We calculate the coupling constants between the light vector mesons and heavy baryons within the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rule in the leading order of heavy quark effective theory. Most resulting sum rules are stable with the variations of the Borel parameter and the continuum threshold. The extracted couplings will be useful in the study of the possible heavy baryon molecular states
