Synchrotron radiation by fast fermions in heavy-ion collisions

We study the synchrotron radiation of gluons by fast quarks in strong magnetic field produced by colliding relativistic heavy-ions. We argue that due to high electric conductivity of plasma, time variation of the magnetic field is slow and estimate its relaxation time. We calculate the energy loss due to synchrotron radiation of gluons by fast quarks. We find that the typical energy loss per unit length for a light quark at LHC is a few GeV per fm. This effect alone predicts quenching of jets with $p_\bot$ up to about 20 GeV. We also show that the spin-flip transition effect accompanying the synchrotron radiation leads to a strong polarization of quarks and leptons with respect to the direction of the magnetic field. Observation of the lepton polarization may provide a direct evidence of existence of strong magnetic field in heavy-ion collisions.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures; v3: estimate of the relaxation time of magnetic field is revised, acknowledgment adde

Pseudo-epsilon expansion and the two-dimensional Ising model

Starting from the five-loop renormalization-group expansions for the two-dimensional Euclidean scalar \phi^4 field theory (field-theoretical version of two-dimensional Ising model), pseudo-\epsilon expansions for the Wilson fixed point coordinate g*, critical exponents, and the sextic effective coupling constant g_6 are obtained. Pseudo-\epsilon expansions for g*, inverse susceptibility exponent \gamma, and g_6 are found to possess a remarkable property - higher-order terms in these expansions turn out to be so small that accurate enough numerical estimates can be obtained using simple Pade approximants, i. e. without addressing resummation procedures based upon the Borel transformation.Comment: 4 pages, 4 tables, few misprints avoide

Quantum teleportation of optical images with frequency conversion

We describe a new version of continuous variables quantum holographic teleportation of optical images. Unlike the previously proposed scheme, it is based on the continuous variables quantum entanglement between the light fields of different frequencies and allows for the wavelength conversion between the original and the teleported images. The frequency tunable holographic teleportation protocol can be used as a part of light-matter interface in parallel quantum information processing and parallel quantum memoryComment: 4 pages, 3 Postscript figures, RevTeX

Classification of integrable Volterra type lattices on the sphere. Isotropic case

The symmetry approach is used for classification of integrable isotropic vector Volterra lattices on the sphere. The list of integrable lattices consists mainly of new equations. Their symplectic structure and associated PDE of vector NLS-type are discussed.Comment: 16 page

Six-loop ε\varepsilon expansion study of three-dimensional nn-vector model with cubic anisotropy

The six-loop expansions of the renormalization-group functions of $\varphi^4$ $n$-vector model with cubic anisotropy are calculated within the minimal subtraction (MS) scheme in $4 - \varepsilon$ dimensions. The $\varepsilon$ expansions for the cubic fixed point coordinates, critical exponents corresponding to the cubic universality class and marginal order parameter dimensionality $n_c$ separating different regimes of critical behavior are presented. Since the $\varepsilon$ expansions are divergent numerical estimates of the quantities of interest are obtained employing proper resummation techniques. The numbers found are compared with their counterparts obtained earlier within various field-theoretical approaches and by lattice calculations. In particular, our analysis of $n_c$ strengthens the existing arguments in favor of stability of the cubic fixed point in the physical case $n = 3$
