On the significance of polarization charge and isomagnetic surface in the interaction between conducting fluid and magnetic field
From the frozen-in field lines concept, a highly conducting fluid can move
freely along, but not traverse to, magnetic field lines. We discuss this topic
and find that in the study of the frozen-in field lines concept, the effects of
inductive and capacitive reactance have been omitted. When admitted, the
relationships among the motional electromotive field, the induced electric
field, the eddy electric current, and the magnetic field becomes clearer and
the frozen-in field line concept can be reconsidered. We emphasize the
importance of isomagnetic surfaces and polarization charges, and show
analytically that whether a conducting fluid can freely traverse magnetic field
lines or not depends solely on the magnetic gradient in the direction of fluid
motion. If a fluid does not change its density distribution and shape (can be
regarded as a quasi-rigid body), and as long as it is moving along an
isomagnetic surface, it can freely traverse magnetic field lines without any
magnetic resistance no matter how strong the magnetic field is. When our
analysis is applied, the origin of the magnetic field of sunspots can be
interpreted easily. In addition, we also present experimental results to
support our analysis.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figures, 4 table
Modular invariance for conformal full field algebras
Let V^L and V^R be simple vertex operator algebras satisfying certain natural
uniqueness-of-vacuum, complete reducibility and cofiniteness conditions and let
F be a conformal full field algebra over the tensor product of V^L and V^R. We
prove that the q_\tau-\bar{q_\tau}-traces (natural traces involving
q_\tau=e^{2\pi i\tau} and \bar{q_\tau}=\bar{e^{2\pi i\tau}}) of geometrically
modified genus-zero correlation functions for F are convergent in suitable
regions and can be extended to doubly periodic functions with periods 1 and
\tau. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for these functions to be
modular invariant. In the case that V^L=V^R and F is one of those constructed
by the authors in \cite{HK}, we prove that all these functions are modular
invariant.Comment: 54 page
