Note on Triangle Anomalies and Assignment of Singlet in 331-like Model
It is pointed out that in the like model which uses both fundamental
and complex conjugate representations for an assignment of the representations
to the left-handed quarks and the scalar representation to their corresponding
right-handed counterparts, the nature of the scalar should be taken into
account in order to make the fermion triangle anomalies in the theory
anomaly-free, i.e. renormalizable in a sense with no anomalies, even after the
spontaneous symmetry breaking.Comment: 8 page no figures, acknowledgments adde
Microstructure and superconducting properties of hot isostatically pressed MgB2
Bulk samples of MgB2 have been formed by hot isostatic pressing (HIPping) of
commercial powder at 100MPa and 950=B0C. The resulting material is 100% dense
with a sharp superconducting transition at 37.5K. Microstructural studies have
indicated the presence of small amounts of second phases within the material,
namely MgO and B rich compositions, probably MgB4. Magnetisation measurements
performed at 20K have revealed values of Jc=1.3 x 106A/cm2 at zero field, and
9.3 x 105A/cm2 at 1T. Magneto optical (MO) studies have shown direct evidence
for the superconducting homogeneity and strong intergranular current flow in
the material.Comment: 3 pages, 6 figures, text updated, new references included and

Spinor Parallel Propagator and Green's Function in Maximally Symmetric Spaces
We introduce the spinor parallel propagator for maximally symmetric spaces in
any dimension. Then, the Dirac spinor Green's functions in the maximally
symmetric spaces R^n, S^n and H^n are calculated in terms of intrinsic
geometric objects. The results are covariant and coordinate-independent.Comment: 7 page
Dispersive Gap Mode of Phonons in Anisotropic Superconductors
We estimate the effect of the superconducting gap anisotropy in the
dispersive gap mode of phonons, which is observed by the neutron scattering on
borocarbide superconductors. We numerically analyze the phonon spectrum
considering the electron-phonon coupling, and examine contributions coming from
the gap suppression and the sign change of the pairing function on the Fermi
surface. When the sign of the pairing function is changed by the nesting
translation, the gap mode does not appear. We also discuss the suppression of
the phonon softening of the Kohn anomaly due to the onset of superconductivity.
We demonstrate that observation of the gap dispersive mode is useful for
sorting out the underlying superconducting pairing function.Comment: 7 pages, 12 figures, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Charge and orbital ordering in underdoped La1-xSrxMnO3
We have explored spin, charge and orbitally ordered states in La1-xSrxMnO3 (0
< x < 1/2) using model Hartree-Fock calculations on d-p-type lattice models. At
x=1/8, several charge and orbitally modulated states are found to be stable and
almost degenerate in energy with a homogeneous ferromagnetic state. The present
calculation indicates that a ferromagnetic state with a charge modulation along
the c-axis which is consistent with the experiment by Yamada et al. might be
responsible for the anomalous behavior around x = 1/8.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
