Clustering of Far-Infrared Galaxies in the AKARI All-Sky Survey
We present the first measurement of the angular two-point correlation
function for AKARI 90-m point sources, detected outside of the Milky Way
plane and other regions characterized by high Galactic extinction, and
categorized as extragalactic sources according to our far-infrared-color based
criterion (Pollo et al. 2010). This is the first measurement of the large-scale
angular clustering of galaxies selected in the far-infrared after IRAS
measurements. Although a full description of clustering properties of these
galaxies will be obtained by more detailed studies, using either spatial
correlation function, or better information about properties and at least
photometric redshifts of these galaxies, the angular correlation function
remains the first diagnostics to establish the clustering properties of the
catalog and observed galaxy population. We find a non-zero clustering signal in
both hemispheres extending up to degrees, without any significant
fluctuations at larger scales. The observed correlation function is well fitted
by a power law function. The notable differences between a northern and
southern hemisphere are found, which can be probably attributed to the
photometry problems and point out to a necessity of performing a better
calibration in the data from southern hemisphere.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, accepted for publication in Earth, Planets, and

Colour confinement as dual Meissner effect: gauge theory
We demonstrate that confinement in gauge theory is produced by dual
superconductivity of the vacuum. We show that for (temperature of
deconfining phase transition) the symmetry related to monopole charge
conservation is spontaneously broken; for the symmetry is restored.Comment: 10 pages + 4 figures, uuencoded shell archiv
Strategic Transparency and Electoral Pressure
© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. This paper investigates how an office-motivated incumbent can use transparency enhancement on public spending to signal his budgetary management ability and win re-election. We show that, when the incumbent faces a popular challenger, transparency policy can be an effective signaling device. It is also shown that electoral pressure can have a nonmonotonic effect on transparency, but a higher electoral pressure always increases the informativeness of signaling and the voter's utility
Creutz Ratios From Color-Truncated Lattice Configurations
We investigate whether information about Creutz ratios is encoded,
separately, in each gluon color component of numerically generated lattice
configurations. Working in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in Landau gauge, we set
two of the three gluon color components to zero, and compensate for the loss of
two-thirds of the fluctuation by simply rescaling the remaining component by a
factor of . Creutz ratios are then computed with this "abelianized"
configuration. We find that the Creutz ratios of loops constructed from
abelianized links converge to the usual Creutz ratios in the scaling regime.Comment: 5 pages, plain LaTeX, one figur
An Almost Perfect Quantum Lattice Action for Low-energy SU(2) Gluodynamics
We study various representations of infrared effective theory of SU(2)
Gluodynamics as a (quantum) perfect lattice action. In particular we derive a
monopole action and a string model of hadrons from SU(2) Gluodynamics. These
are lattice actions which give almost cut-off independent physical quantities
even on coarse lattices. The monopole action is determined by numerical
simulations in the infrared region of SU(2) Gluodynamics. The string model of
hadrons is derived from the monopole action by using BKT transformation. We
illustrate the method and evaluate physical quantities such as the string
tension and the mass of the lowest state of the glueball analytically using the
string model of hadrons. It turns out that the classical results in the string
model is near to the one in quantum SU(2) Gluodynamics.Comment: 39 pages, 10 figure
Analyzing powers in inclusive pion production at high energy and the nucleon spin structure
Analyzing powers in inclusive pion production in high energy transversely
polarized proton-proton collisions are studied theoretically in the framework
of the quark recombination model. Calculations by assuming the SU(6)
spin-flavor symmetry for the nucleon structure disagree with the experiments.
We solve this difficulty by taking into account the %We overcome this
difficulty by taking into account the realistic spin distribution functions of
the nucleon, which differs from the SU(6) expectation at large , %but
coincides with a perturbative QCD constraint on the ratio of the unpolarized
valence distributions, as . We also discuss the kaon spin
asymmetry and find in the polarized proton-proton
collisions at large .Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, late
Multiple peak aggregations for the Keller-Segel system
In this paper we derive matched asymptotic expansions for a solution of the
Keller-Segel system in two space dimensions for which the amount of mass
aggregation is , where Previously available asymptotics
had been computed only for the case in which N=1
Causal Propagators for Algebraic Gauges
Applying the principle of analytic extension for generalized functions we
derive causal propagators for algebraic non-covariant gauges. The so generated
manifestly causal gluon propagator in the light-cone gauge is used to evaluate
two one-loop Feynman integrals which appear in the computation of the
three-gluon vertex correction. The result is in agreement with that obtained
through the usual prescriptions.Comment: LaTex, 09 pages, no figure
Aging dynamics in reentrant ferromagnet: CuCoCl-FeCl graphite bi-intercalation compound
Aging dynamics of a reentrant ferromagnet
CuCoCl-FeCl graphite bi-intercalation compound has
been studied using AC and DC magnetic susceptibility. This compound undergoes
successive transitions at the transition temperatures ( K) and
( K). The relaxation rate exhibits a characteristic
peak at close to a wait time below , indicating that
the aging phenomena occur in both the reentrant spin glass (RSG) phase below
and the ferromagnetic (FM) phase between and . The
relaxation rate () in the FM phase
exhibits two peaks around and a time much shorter than under
the positive -shift aging, indicating a partial rejuvenation of domains. The
aging state in the FM phase is fragile against a weak magnetic-field
perturbation. The time () dependence of around is well approximated by a stretched exponential relaxation:
. The exponent depends on
, , and . The relaxation time () exhibits a
local maximum around 5 K, reflecting a chaotic nature of the FM phase. It
drastically increases with decreasing temperature below .Comment: 16 pages,16 figures, submitted to Physical Review
