Silence:True Communication
This paper examines the issue of communication in Harold Pinter’s The Dumb Waiter. The main characters Gus and Ben are simple characters and their means of communication are the central theme in this play. It shows that even though the two characters interact and talk and discuss, they don’t really communicate. The essence of the difference between just talking and really communicating is analyzed. Key words: Silence, communication Résumé: L’article présent examine le problème de communication dans Le Serveur muet de Harold Pinter. Les personnages principaux Gus et Ben sont des figures simples, et leur sens de communication est le thème central de cette pièce. L’article montre que, bien que les deux personnages s’interagirent, parlent et discutent, ils ne communiquent pas véritablement. L’essence de la différence entre la conversation et la communication est analysée. Mots-Clés: silence, communicatio
The study of light invisible particles in decays
In this paper, we study the light scalar and pseudoscalar invisible particles
in the flavor changing neutral current processes of the meson. Effective
operators are introduced to describe the couplings between quarks and light
invisible particles. The Wilson coefficients are extracted from the
experimental results of the and mesons, which are used to predict the
upper limits of the branching fractions of the similar decay processes for the
meson. The hadronic transition matrix element is calculated with the
instantaneously approximated Bethe-Salpeter method. The upper limits of the
branching fractions when taking different values are presented. It is
found that at some region of , the channel has the largest upper limit which is of the order of
, and for , the largest value of the
upper limits can achieve the order of . Other decay modes, such as
and ,
are also considered.Comment: 24 pages, 35 figure
Revisiting van der Waals like behavior of f(R) AdS black holes via the two point correlation function
Van der Waals like behavior of AdS black holes is revisited via two
point correlation function, which is dual to the geodesic length in the bulk.
The equation of motion constrained by the boundary condition is solved
numerically and both the effect of boundary region size and gravity are
probed. Moreover, an analogous specific heat related to is
introduced. It is shown that the graphs of AdS black holes
exhibit reverse van der Waals like behavior just as the graphs do. Free
energy analysis is carried out to determine the first order phase transition
temperature and the unstable branch in curve is removed by a
bar . It is shown that the first order phase transition temperature is
the same at least to the order of for different choices of the
parameter although the values of free energy vary with . Our result
further supports the former finding that charged AdS black holes behave
much like RN-AdS black holes. We also check the analogous equal area law
numerically and find that the relative errors for both the cases
and are small enough. The fitting functions between and for both cases are also
obtained. It is shown that the slope is around 3, implying that the critical
exponent is about . This result is in accordance with those in former
literatures of specific heat related to the thermal entropy or entanglement
entropy.Comment: Revised version. Match the published version. 14pages,5figure
Statistics of Chaotic Resonances in an Optical Microcavity
Distributions of eigenmodes are widely concerned in both bounded and open
systems. In the realm of chaos, counting resonances can characterize the
underlying dynamics (regular vs. chaotic), and is often instrumental to
identify classical-to-quantum correspondence. Here, we study, both
theoretically and experimentally, the statistics of chaotic resonances in an
optical microcavity with a mixed phase space of both regular and chaotic
dynamics. Information on the number of chaotic modes is extracted by counting
regular modes, which couple to the former via dynamical tunneling. The
experimental data are in agreement with a known semiclassical prediction for
the dependence of the number of chaotic resonances on the number of open
channels, while they deviate significantly from a purely
random-matrix-theory-based treatment, in general. We ascribe this result to the
ballistic decay of the rays, which occurs within Ehrenfest time, and
importantly, within the timescale of transient chaos. The present approach may
provide a general tool for the statistical analysis of chaotic resonances in
open systems.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, and a supplemental informatio
