A Bi-Hamiltonian Formulation for Triangular Systems by Perturbations
A bi-Hamiltonian formulation is proposed for triangular systems resulted by
perturbations around solutions, from which infinitely many symmetries and
conserved functionals of triangular systems can be explicitly constructed,
provided that one operator of the Hamiltonian pair is invertible. Through our
formulation, four examples of triangular systems are exhibited, which also show
that bi-Hamiltonian systems in both lower dimensions and higher dimensions are
many and varied. Two of four examples give local 2+1 dimensional bi-Hamiltonian
systems and illustrate that multi-scale perturbations can lead to
higher-dimensional bi-Hamiltonian systems.Comment: 16 pages, to appear in J. Math. Phy
Reexamining the "finite-size" effects in isobaric yield ratios using a statistical abrasion-ablation model
The "finite-size" effects in the isobaric yield ratio (IYR), which are shown
in the standard grand-canonical and canonical statistical ensembles (SGC/CSE)
method, is claimed to prevent obtaining the actual values of physical
parameters. The conclusion of SGC/CSE maybe questionable for neutron-rich
nucleus induced reaction. To investigate whether the IYR has "finite-size"
effects, the IYR for the mirror nuclei [IYR(m)] are reexamined using a modified
statistical abrasion-ablation (SAA) model. It is found when the projectile is
not so neutron-rich, the IYR(m) depends on the isospin of projectile, but the
size dependence can not be excluded. In reactions induced by the very
neutron-rich projectiles, contrary results to those of the SGC/CSE models are
obtained, i.e., the dependence of the IYR(m) on the size and the isospin of the
projectile is weakened and disappears both in the SAA and the experimental
results.Comment: 5 pages and 4 figure
Deformations of Closed Strings and Topological Open Membranes
We study deformations of topological closed strings. A well-known example is
the perturbation of a topological closed string by itself, where the
associative OPE product is deformed, and which is governed by the WDVV
equations. Our main interest will be closed strings that arise as the boundary
theory for topological open membranes, where the boundary string is deformed by
the bulk membrane operators. The main example is the topological open membrane
theory with a nonzero 3-form field in the bulk. In this case the Lie bracket of
the current algebra is deformed, leading in general to a correction of the
Jacobi identity. We identify these deformations in terms of deformation theory.
To this end we describe the deformation of the algebraic structure of the
closed string, given by the BRST operator, the associative product and the Lie
bracket. Quite remarkably, we find that there are three classes of deformations
for the closed string, two of which are exemplified by the WDVV theory and the
topological open membrane. The third class remains largely mysterious, as we
have no explicit example.Comment: 50 pages, LaTeX; V2: minor changes, 2 references added, V3: typos

A Class of Coupled KdV systems and Their Bi-Hamiltonian Formulations
A Hamiltonian pair with arbitrary constants is proposed and thus a sort of
hereditary operators is resulted. All the corresponding systems of evolution
equations possess local bi-Hamiltonian formulation and a special choice of the
systems leads to the KdV hierarchy. Illustrative examples are given.Comment: 8 pages, late
Simultaneous planar growth of amorphous and crystalline Ni silicides
We report a solid-state interdiffusion reaction induced by rapid thermal annealing and vacuum furnace annealing in evaporated Ni/Si bilayers. Upon heat treatment of a Ni film overlaid on a film of amorphous Si evaporated from a graphite crucible, amorphous and crystalline silicide layers grow uniformly side by side as revealed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and backscattering spectrometry. This phenomenon contrasts with the silicide formation behavior previously observed in the Ni-Si system, and constitutes an interesting counterpart of the solid-state interdiffusion-induced amorphization in Ni/Zr thin-film diffusion couples. Carbon impurity contained in the amorphous Si film stabilizes the amorphous phase. Kinetic and thermodynamic factors that account for the experimental findings are discussed
Extension of Hereditary Symmetry Operators
Two models of candidates for hereditary symmetry operators are proposed and
thus many nonlinear systems of evolution equations possessing infinitely many
commutative symmetries may be generated. Some concrete structures of hereditary
symmetry operators are carefully analyzed on the base of the resulting general
conditions and several corresponding nonlinear systems are explicitly given out
as illustrative examples.Comment: 13 pages, LaTe
Probing CP-violating Higgs contributions in gamma-gamma -> f anti-f through fermion polarization
We discuss the use of fermion polarization for studying neutral Higgs bosons
at a photon collider. To this aim we construct polarization asymmetries which
can isolate the contribution of a Higgs boson in , , from that of the QED continuum. This can help in getting
information on the coupling in case is a CP
eigenstate. We also construct CP-violating asymmetries which can probe CP
mixing in case has indeterminate CP. Furthermore, we take the MSSM with
CP violation as an example to demonstrate the potential of these asymmetries in
a numerical analysis. We find that these asymmetries are sensitive to the
presence of a Higgs boson as well as its CP properties over a wide range of
MSSM parameters. In particular, the method suggested can cover the region where
a light Higgs boson may have been missed by LEP due to CP violation in the
Higgs sector, and may be missed as well at the LHC.Comment: 14 pages, 14 figures, typeset in revtex4. Version which has appeared

Mixing of 1/2^- Octets under SU(3) Symmetry
We investigate the J^p=1/2^- baryons in the octets based on flavor SU(3)
symmetry. Since baryons with same quantum numbers can mix with each other, we
consider the mixing between two octets before their mixing with the singlet.
Most predicted decay widths are consistent with the experimental data, and
meanwhile we predict two possible mass ranges of the two octets.Comment: 8 latex page
