Monopole Condensation in Lattice SU(2) QCD
This is the short review of Monte-Carlo studies of quark confinement in
lattice QCD. After abelian projections both in the maximally abelian and
Polyakov gauges, it is seen that the monopole part alone is responsible for
confinement. A block spin transformation on the dual lattice suggests that
lattice QCD is always ( for all ) in the monopole condensed
phase and so in the confinement phase in the infinite volume limit.Comment: Contribution to Confinement '95, March 1995, Osaka, Japan. Names of

Development of Cu-spin correlation in Bi_1.74_Pb_0.38_Sr_1.88_Cu_1-y_Zn_y_O_6+d_ high-temperature superconductors observed by muon spin relaxation
A systematic muon-spin-relaxation study in Bi-2201 high-Tc cuprates has
revealed for the first time that the Cu-spin correlation (CSC) is developed at
low temperatures below 2 K in a wide range of hole concentration where
superconductivity appears. The CSC tends to become weak gradually with
increasing hole-concentration. Moreover, CSC has been enhanced through the 3%
substitution of Zn for Cu. These results are quite similar to those observed in
La-214 high-Tc cuprates. Accordingly, it has been suggested that the intimate
relation between the so-called spin-charge stripe correlations and
superconductivity is a universal feature in hole-doped high-Tc cuprates.
Furthermore, apparent development of CSC, which is suppressed through the Zn
substitution oppositely, has been observed in non-superconducting heavily
overdoped samples, being argued in the context of a recently proposed
ferromagnetic state in heavily overdoped cuprates.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Time-Dependent Dynamics of the Bose-Fermi Mixed Condensed System
We study the monopole oscillation in the bose-fermi mixed condensed system by
performing the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevsky (GP) and Vlasov equations. We
find that the big damping exists for the fermion oscillation in the mixed
system even at zero temperatureComment: 5pages, 2 figure
Hole-trapping by Ni, Kondo effect and electronic phase diagram in non-superconducting Ni-substituted La2-xSrxCu1-yNiyO4
In order to investigate the electronic state in the normal state of high-Tc
cuprates in a wide range of temperature and hole-concentration, specific-heat,
electrical-resistivity, magnetization and muon-spin-relaxation (muSR)
measurements have been performed in non-superconducting Ni-substituted
La2-xSrxCu1-yNiyO4 where the superconductivity is suppressed through the
partial substitution of Ni for Cu without disturbing the Cu-spin correlation in
the CuO2 plane so much. In the underdoped regime, it has been found that there
exist both weakly localized holes around Ni and itinerant holes at high
temperatures. With decreasing temperature, all holes tend to be localized,
followed by the occurrence of variable-range hopping conduction at low
temperatures. Finally, in the ground state, it has been found that each Ni2+
ion traps a hole strongly and that a magnetically ordered state appears. In the
overdoped regime, on the other hand, it has been found that a Kondo-like state
is formed around each Ni2+ spin at low temperatures. In conclusion, the ground
state of non-superconducting La2-xSrxCu1-yNiyO4 changes upon hole doping from a
magnetically ordered state with the strong hole-trapping by Ni2+ to a metallic
state with Kondo-like behavior due to Ni2+ spins, and the quantum phase
transition is crossover-like due to the phase separation into short-range
magnetically ordered and metallic regions.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Effective Monopole Action at Finite Temperature in SU(2) Gluodynamics
Effective monopole action at finite temperature in SU(2) gluodynamics is
studied on anisotropic lattices. Using an inverse Monte-Carlo method and the
blockspin transformation for space directions, we determine 4-dimensional
effective monopole action at finite temperature. We get an almost perfect
action in the continuum limit under the assumption that the action is composed
of two-point interactions alone. It depends on a physical scale and the
temperature . The temperature-dependence appears with respect to the
spacelike monopole couplings in the deconfinement phase, whereas the timelike
monopole couplings do not show any appreciable temperature-dependence. The
dimensional reduction of the 4-dimensional SU(2) gluodynamics ((SU(2)))
at high temperature is the 3-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model ().
The latter is studied at the parameter region obtained from the dimensional red
uction. We compare the effective instanton action of with the
timelike monopole action obtained from (SU(2)). We find that both agree
very well for at large region. The dimensional reduction
works well also for the effective action.Comment: 34 pages, 23 figure
Alfv\'en wave-driven wind from RGB and AGB stars
We develop a magnetohydrodynamical model of Alfv\'en wave-driven wind in open
magnetic flux tubes piercing the stellar surface of Red Giant Branch (RGB) and
Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, and investigate the physical properties of
the winds. The model simulations are carried out along the evolutionary tracks
of stars with initial mass in the range of 1.5 to 3.0 and initial
metallicity =0.02. The surface magnetic field strength being set
to be 1G, we find that the wind during the evolution of star can be classified
into the following four types; the first is the wind with the velocity higher
than 80 km s in the RGB and early AGB (E-AGB) phases; the second is the
wind with outflow velocity less than 10 km s seen around the tip of RGB
or in the E-AGB phase; the third is the unstable wind in the E-AGB and
thermally pulsing AGB (TP-AGB) phases; the fourth is the stable massive and
slow wind with the mass-loss rate higher than 10 yr and
the outflow velocity lower than 20 km s in the TP-AGB phase. The
mass-loss rates in the first and second types of wind are two or three orders
of magnitude lower than the values evaluated by an empirical formula. The
presence of massive and slow wind of the fourth type suggests the possibility
that the massive outflow observed in TP-AGB stars could be attributed to the
Alfv\'en wave-driven wind.Comment: 17 pages, 15 figures, accepted for publication in Ap
