Stringy Derivation of Nahm Construction of Monopoles
We derive the Nahm construction of monopoles from exact tachyon condensation
on unstable D-branes. The Dirac operator used in the Nahm construction is
identified with the tachyon profile in our D-brane approach, and we provide
physical interpretation of the procedures Nahm gave. Crucial is the
introduction of infinite number of brane-antibranes from which arbitrary
D-brane can be constrcuted, exhibitting a unified view of various D-branes. We
explicitly show the equivalence of the D3-brane boundary state with the
monopole profile and the D1-brane boundary state with the Nahm data as
transverse scalars.Comment: 18 pages, 4 eps figures, JHEP style, comments about low energy limits

Distinct doping dependences of the pseudogap and superconducting gap LaSrCuO cuprate superconductors
We have performed a temperature-dependent angle-integrated photoemission
study of lightly-doped to heavily-overdoped LaSrCuO and
oxygen-doped LaCuO. We found that both the magnitude * of
the (small) pseudogap and the temperature \textit{T}* at which the pseudogap is
opened increases with decreasing hole concentration, consistent with previous
studies. On the other hand, the superconducting gap was found to
remain small for decreasing hole concentration. The results can be explained if
the superconducting gap opens only on the Fermi arc around the nodal
(0,0)-() direction while the pseudogap opens around (, 0).Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
A Matrix Model for Baryons and Nuclear Forces
We propose a new matrix model describing multi-baryon systems. We derive the
action from open string theory on the wrapped baryon vertex D-branes embedded
in the D4-D8 model of large N holographic QCD. The positions of k baryons are
unified into k x k matrices, with spin/isospin of the baryons encoded in a set
of k-vectors. Holographic baryons are known to be very small in the large 't
Hooft coupling limit, and our model offers a better systematic approach to
dynamics of such baryons at short distances. We compute energetics and spectra
(k=1), and also short-distance nuclear force (k=2). In particular, we obtain a
new size of the holographic baryon and find a precise form of the repulsive
core of nucleons. This matrix model complements the instanton soliton picture
of holographic baryons, whose small size turned out to be well below the
natural length scale of the approximation involved there. Our results show
that, nevertheless, the basic properties of holographic baryons obtained there
are robust under stringy corrections within a few percents.Comment: 30 pages. v3: more comments added, published versio
Real-time simulation of jet engines with digital computer. 1: Fabrication and characteristics of the simulator
The fabrication and performance of a real time jet engine simulator using a digital computer are discussed. The use of the simulator in developing the components and control system of a jet engine is described. Comparison of data from jet engine simulation tests with actual engine tests was conducted with good agreement
Nucleon strange quark content from two-flavor lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry
Strange quark content of the nucleon is calculated in dynamical lattice QCD
employing the overlap fermion formulation. For this quantity, exact chiral
symmetry guaranteed by the Ginsparg-Wilson relation is crucial to avoid large
contamination due to a possible operator mixing with . Gauge
configurations are generated with two dynamical flavors on a 16^3 x 32 lattice
at a lattice spacing a \simeq 0.12fm. We directly calculate the relevant
three-point function on the lattice including a disconnected strange quark loop
utilizing the techniques of all-to-all quark propagator and low-mode averaging.
Our result f_{T_s} = 0.032(8)(22), is in good agreement with our previous
indirect estimate using the Feynman-Hellmann theorem.Comment: 31 pages, 22 figures; version published in PR
