Reexamination of a Bound on the Dirac Neutrino Magnetic Moment from the Supernova Neutrino Luminosity

The neutrino helicity-flip process under the conditions of the supernova core is reinvestigated. Instead of the uniform ball model for the SN core used in previous analyses, realistic models for radial distributions and time evolution of physical parameters in the SN core are considered. A new upper bound on the Dirac neutrino magnetic moment is obtained from the limit on the supernova core luminosity for nu_R emission.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX, 8 EPS figures, submitted to Int. J.

Vortex line representation for flows of ideal and viscous fluids

It is shown that the Euler hydrodynamics for vortical flows of an ideal fluid coincides with the equations of motion of a charged {\it compressible} fluid moving due to a self-consistent electromagnetic field. Transition to the Lagrangian description in a new hydrodynamics is equivalent for the original Euler equations to the mixed Lagrangian-Eulerian description - the vortex line representation (VLR). Due to compressibility of a "new" fluid the collapse of vortex lines can happen as the result of breaking (or overturning) of vortex lines. It is found that the Navier-Stokes equation in the vortex line representation can be reduced to the equation of the diffusive type for the Cauchy invariant with the diffusion tensor given by the metric of the VLR

Quiver varieties and a noncommutative P²

To any finite group Γ ⊂ SL₂(ℂ) and each element t in the center of the group algebra Of Γ we associate a category, Coh(ℙ²_(Γ, τ),ℙ¹). It is defined as a suitable quotient of the category of graded modules over (a graded version of) the deformed preprojective algebra introduced by Crawley-Boevey and Holland. The category Coh(ℙ²_(Γ, τ),ℙ¹) should be thought of as the category of coherent sheaves on a ‘noncommutative projective space’, ℙ²_(Γ, τ), equipped with a framing at ℙ¹, the line at infinity. Our first result establishes an isomorphism between the moduli space of torsion free objects of Coh(ℙ²_(Γ, τ),ℙ¹) and the Nakajima quiver variety arising from G via the McKay correspondence. We apply the above isomorphism to deduce a generalization of the Crawley-Boevey and Holland conjecture, saying that the moduli space of ‘rank 1’ projective modules over the deformed preprojective algebra is isomorphic to a particular quiver variety. This reduces, for Γ = {1}, to the recently obtained parametrisation of the isomorphism classes of right ideals in the first Weyl algebra, A₁, by points of the Calogero– Moser space, due to Cannings and Holland and Berest and Wilson. Our approach is algebraic and is based on a monadic description of torsion free sheaves on ℙ²_(Γ, τ). It is totally different from the one used by Berest and Wilson, involving τ-functions
