    Massive modes in magnetized brane models

    Full text link
    We study higher dimensional models with magnetic fluxes, which can be derived from superstring theory. We study mass spectrum and wavefunctions of massless and massive modes for spinor, scalar and vector fields. We compute the 3-point couplings and higher order couplings among massless modes and massive modes in 4D low-energy effective field theory. These couplings have non-trivial behaviors, because wavefunctions of massless and massive modes are non-trivial.Comment: 21 page

    Flavor structure in D-brane models: Majorana neutrino masses

    Get PDF
    We study the flavor structure in intersecting D-brane models. We study anomalies of the discrete flavor symmetries. We analyze the Majorana neutrino masses, which can be generated by D-brane instanton effects. It is found that a certain pattern of mass matrix is obtained and the cyclic permutation symmetry remains unbroken. As a result, trimaximal mixing matrix can be realized if Dirac neutrino mass and charged lepton mass matrices are diagonal.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figur

    Standard Model-like D-brane models and gauge couplings

    Get PDF
    We systematically search intersecting D-brane models, which just realize the Standard Model chiral matter contents and gauge symmetry. We construct new classes of non-supersymmetric Standard Model-like models. We also study gauge coupling constants of these models. The tree level gauge coupling is a function of compactification moduli, string scale, string coupling and winding number of D-branes. By tuning them, we examine whether the models can explain the experimental values of gauge couplings. As a result, we find that the string scale should be greater than 10141510^{14-15}GeV if the compactification scale and the string scale are the same order.Comment: 25 pgaes, 12 figures: v2 appendix adde

    α\alpha-cluster excited states in 32^{32}S

    Get PDF
    α\alpha-cluster excited states in 32^{32}S are investigated with an extended 28^{28}Si+α\alpha cluster model, in which the 28^{28}Si core deformation and rotation, and the α\alpha-cluster breaking are incorporated. In the GCM calculation with the extended 28^{28}Si+α\alpha cluster model, the α\alpha-cluster excited states are obtained near the 28^{28}Si+α\alpha threshold energy. The 28^{28}Si core deformation and rotation effects, and also the α\alpha-clusters breaking in the 28^{28}Si+α\alpha system are discussed. It is found that the rotation of the oblately deformed 28^{28}Si core gives a significant effect to the α\alpha-cluster excited states whereas the α\alpha-cluster breaking gives only a minor effect

    Interactively Picking Real-World Objects with Unconstrained Spoken Language Instructions

    Full text link
    Comprehension of spoken natural language is an essential component for robots to communicate with human effectively. However, handling unconstrained spoken instructions is challenging due to (1) complex structures including a wide variety of expressions used in spoken language and (2) inherent ambiguity in interpretation of human instructions. In this paper, we propose the first comprehensive system that can handle unconstrained spoken language and is able to effectively resolve ambiguity in spoken instructions. Specifically, we integrate deep-learning-based object detection together with natural language processing technologies to handle unconstrained spoken instructions, and propose a method for robots to resolve instruction ambiguity through dialogue. Through our experiments on both a simulated environment as well as a physical industrial robot arm, we demonstrate the ability of our system to understand natural instructions from human operators effectively, and how higher success rates of the object picking task can be achieved through an interactive clarification process.Comment: 9 pages.

    Cosmic R-string, R-tube and Vacuum Instability

    Full text link
    We show that a cosmic string associated with spontaneous U(1)RU(1)_R symmetry breaking gives a constraint for supersymmetric model building. In some models, the string can be viewed as a tube-like domain wall with a winding number interpolating a false vacuum and a true vacuum. Such string causes inhomogeneous decay of the false vacuum to the true vacuum via rapid expansion of the radius of the tube and hence its formation would be inconsistent with the present Universe. However, we demonstrate that there exist metastable solutions which do not expand rapidly. Furthermore, when the true vacua are degenerate, the structure inside the tube becomes involved. As an example, we show a "bamboo"-like solution, which suggests a possibility observing an information of true vacua from outside of the tube through the shape and the tension of the tube.Comment: 28 pages, 17 figures, v2: references added, improved arguments in sec 3.5.

    The purpose of this study is to clarify the differences in myoelectric activities and power exerting the lower limbs of the performance that is jumping height is high and low people in the rebound jump. The subjects was 23 male students belong to track and field (age : 20.8 i 0.9 years, height : 179.6 * 6.1 an, and body mass : 82.3 * 17.0 kg). The subjects performed five-repeated rebound jump (5RJ), based on the jumping height of the result, divided into jumping high-high group (GOOD) and the low group (POOR), it was compared with the lower limbs joint power and myoelectric activity. As a result, fi was dearly that differences in the performance of GOOD and POOR has become the appropriate preliminary motion that was preactiviation of the lower limbs muscles in the before foot contact and due to the quick action in take off of the first half
