Noncommutative open strings from Dirac quantization

We study Dirac commutators of canonical variables on D-branes with a constant Neveu-Schwarz 2-form field by using the Dirac constraint quantization method, and point out some subtleties appearing in previous works in analyzing constraint structure of the brane system. Overcoming some ad hoc procedures, we obtain desirable noncommutative coordinates exactly compatible with the result of the conformal field theory in recent literatures. Furthermore, we find interesting commutator relations of other canonical variables.Comment: 13 pages, revtex, Expressions are change

Massless vs. Massive Hawking Radiation in AdS2_2 Spacetime

We study massless and massive Hawking radiations on a two-dimensional AdS spacetime. For the massless case, the quantum stress-energy tensor of a massless scalar field on the AdS background is calculated, and the expected null radiation is obtained. However, for the massive case, the scattering analysis is performed in order to calculate the absorption and reflection coefficients which are related to statistical Hawking temperature. On the contrary to the massless case, we obtain a nonvanishing massive radiation.Comment: 13 pages, revtex, to appear in Phys. Lett.

Reduced-complexity transmit-beamforming codebook search algorithm

A two-stage reduced-complexity index search algorithm is proposed for finding the best vector in the codebook of quantised equal gain transmission based multiple-input multiple-output arrangements. When the number of transmit antennas is more than three, the normalised complexity is halved while maintaining the same symbol error rate as the benchmark

Decay Rate and Low-Energy Near-Horizon Dynamics of Acoustic Black Holes

We study the low-energy dynamics of an acoustic black hole near the sonic horizon. For the experimental test of black hole evaporation in the laboratory, the decay rate (greybody factor) of the acoustic black hole (sonic hole) can be calculated by the usual low-energy perturbation method. As a consequence, we obtain the decay rate of the sonic horizon from the absorption and the reflection coefficients. Moreover, we show that the thermal emission from the sonic horizon is only proportional to a control parameter which describes the velocity of the fluid.Comment: 13pages, 3figures, RevTeX3, some minors corrected. version to appear in PL
