Light hadrons in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD
This talk will focus on recent results by the MILC collaboration from
simulations of light hadrons in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD. We have achieved high
precision results in the pseudoscalar sector, including masses and decay
constants, plus quark masses and Gasser-Leutwyler parameters from well
controlled chiral perturbation theory fits to our data. We also show
spectroscopy results for vector mesons and baryons.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of the First Meeting of the APS Topical

Semileptonic Decays of Heavy Mesons with the Fat Clover Action
We are studying a variety of semileptonic decays of heavy-light mesons in an
effort to improve the determination of the heavy-quark Standard-Model CKM
matrix elements. Our fermion action is a novel, improved ``fat'' clover action
that promises to reduce problems with exceptional configurations. Dynamical sea
quarks are included in a mixed approach, i.e. we use staggered sea quarks and
fat-clover valence quarks. Here we report preliminary results.Comment: LATTICE99(heavyqk) - 3p, 4 Postscript fig
The equation of state with nonzero chemical potential for 2+1 flavors
We present results for the QCD equation of state with nonzero chemical
potential using the Taylor expansion method with terms up to sixth order in the
expansion. Our calculations are performed on asqtad 2+1 quark flavor lattices

Scars of Invariant Manifolds in Interacting Chaotic Few-Body Systems
We present a novel extension of the concept of scars for the wave functions
of classically chaotic few-body systems of identical particles with rotation
and permutation symmetry. Generically there exist manifolds in classical phase
space which are invariant under the action of a common subgroup of these two
symmetries. Such manifolds are associated with highly symmetric configurations.
If sufficiently stable, the quantum motion on such manifolds displays a notable
enhancement of the revival in the autocorrelation function which is not
directly associated with individual periodic orbits. Rather, it indicates some
degree of localization around an invariant manifold which has collective
characteristics that should be experimentally observable.Comment: 4 pages, RevTeX, 4 PS/EPS-figures, uses psfig.sty, quantum
