The coupled-channel analysis of the D and D_s mesons

The shift of the p-wave $D_s$ meson mass due to coupling to the DK channel is calculated without fitting parameters using the chiral Lagrangian. As a result the original $Q\bar q$ mass 2.490 MeV generically calculated in the relativistic quark models is shifted down to the experimental value 2317 MeV. With the same Lagrangian the shift of the radial excited $1^-$ level is much smaller, while the total width $\Gamma > 100$ MeV and the width ratio is in contradiction with the $D^*(2632)$ state observed by SELEX group.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure

On the Poisson equation and diffusion approximation 3

We study the Poisson equation Lu+f=0 in R^d, where L is the infinitesimal generator of a diffusion process. In this paper, we allow the second-order part of the generator L to be degenerate, provided a local condition of Doeblin type is satisfied, so that, if we also assume a condition on the drift which implies recurrence, the diffusion process is ergodic. The equation is understood in a weak sense. Our results are then applied to diffusion approximation.Comment: Published at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/009117905000000062 in the Annals of Probability (http://www.imstat.org/aop/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org

Quantum orientational melting of mesoscopic clusters

By path integral Monte Carlo simulations we study the phase diagram of two - dimensional mesoscopic clusters formed by electrons in a semiconductor quantum dot or by indirect magnetoexcitons in double quantum dots. At zero (or sufficiently small) temperature, as quantum fluctuations of particles increase, two types of quantum disordering phenomena take place: first, at small values of quantum de Boer parameter q < 0.01 one can observe a transition from a completely ordered state to that in which different shells of the cluster, being internally ordered, are orientationally disordered relative to each other. At much greater strengths of quantum fluctuations, at q=0.1, the transition to a disordered (superfluid for the boson system) state takes place.Comment: 4 pages, 6 Postscript figure

Phonon origin of high Tc in Superconducting cuprates

Eliashberg theory (ET) generalized for the account of the peculiar properties of the finite zone width electron-phonon (EP) systems with the non constant electron density of states, the electron-hole nonequivalence, chemical potential renormalization with doping and frequency, and electron correlations in the vertex function is used for the study of Tc in cuprates. The phonon contribution to the nodal anomalous electron Green function (GF) in cuprates is considered. The pairing on the full width of the electron zone was taken into account, not just on the Fermi surface. It is found that the finite zone width phenomenon in the newly derived Eliashberg equations for the finite zone width EP system together with the abrupt fall of the density of states above the Fermi surface are the crucial factors for the appearance of the high temperature superconductivity phenomenon. It is shown that near the optimal doping in the hole-doped cuprates high value is reproduced with the EP interaction constant obtained from tunnel experiments.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure

Manifestation of exciton Bose condensation in induced two-phonon emission and Raman scattering

The unusual two-photon emission by Bose-condensed excitons caused by simultaneous recombination of two excitons with opposite momenta leaving the occupation numbers of excitonic states with momenta $p nonequal to 0$ unchanged (below coherent two-exciton recombination) is investigated. Raman scattering accompanied by the analogous two-exciton recombination (or creation) is also analyzed. The excess momentum equal to the change of the electromagnetic field momentum in these processes can be transferred to phonons or impurities. The processes under consideration take place if there is Bose condensation in the interacting exciton system, and, therefore, can be used as a new method to reveal exciton Bose condensation. If the frequency of the incident light $\omega< 2\Omega$ ($\Omega$ is the frequency corresponding to the recombination of an exciton with p=0), the coherent two-exciton recombination with the excess momentum elastically transferred to impurities leads to the appearance of the spectral line $2\Omega-\omega$ corresponding to the induced two-photon emission. In this case the anti-Stokes line on frequency $\omega+2\Omega$ also appears in the Raman spectrum. If $\omega>2\Omega$, there are both Stokes and anti-Stokes lines on frequencies $\omega\pm2\Omega$ in the Raman spectrum. The induced two-photon emission is impossible in this case. The spectral lines mentioned above have phonon replicas on frequencies $|\omega\pm (2\Omega-n\omega^s_0)|$ corresponding to the transmission of the excess momentum (partially or as a whole) to optical phonons of frequency $\omega^s_0$ ($n$ is an integer number).Comment: 21 pages, 2 Postscript figures.
