Magnetohydrodynamic properties of incompressible Meissner fluids
We consider a superconducting material that exists in the liquid state, more
precisely, in which the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect persists in the liquid
state. First, we investigate how the shape of such a hypothetical Meissner
liquid will adapt to accomodate for an applied external field. In particular,
we analyse the case of a droplet of Meissner fluid, and compute the elongation
of the droplet and its quadrupole frequency as a function of the applied field.
Next, the influence of an applied field on the flow of the liquid is studied
for the case of a surface wave. We derive the dispersion relation for surface
waves on an incompressible Meissner fluid. We discuss some candidate
realizations of the Meissner fluids and for the case of a superconducting
colloid discuss which regime of wave lengths would be most affected by the
Meissner effect.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
Does monetary policy generate recessions?
The issue of uncovering the effects of monetary policy is far short of resolution. In the identified VAR literature, restrictions have been imposed to identify the effects of unpredictable monetary policy disturbances. We offer critical views on the unreasonable assumptions in the existing work and argue for careful economic argument about identifying assumptions. We display a structural stochastic equilibrium model in which our VAR identification would produce correct results while drawing attention to the serious lack of time series fit in most of the DSGE literature.Monetary policy
Three-loop quark form factor at high energy: the leading mass corrections
We compute the leading mass corrections to the high-energy behavior of the
massive quark vector form factor to three loops in QCD in the
double-logarithmic approximation.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figures, LaTe
