A New Anomaly Matching Condition?

We formulate ``Witten'' matching conditions for confining gauge theories. The conditions are analogous to 't Hooft's, but involve Witten's global SU(2) anomaly. Using a group theoretic result of Geng, Marshak, Zhao and Okubo, we show that if the fourth homotopy group of the flavor group $H$ is trivial ($\Pi_4(H) = 0$) then realizations of massless composite fermions that satisfy the 't Hooft conditions also satisfy the Witten conditions. If $\Pi_4 (H)$ is nontrivial, the new matching conditions can yield additional information about the low energy spectrum of the theory. We give a simple physical proof of Geng, et. al.'s result.Comment: 11 pages, LaTex, all macros include

An Examination of the Editors and Friendship of the Tang Songs and Poems in the Classification of the Categories

Zhao Mengkui’s compilation of Tang poems is one of the largest collections of Tang poems in the Southern Song Dynasty, and has served as a guide in the history of the compilation of Chinese Tang poems. Zhao Mengkui, the compiler of the “Tang Songs and Poems”, was born into a royal family of imperial examiners and had excellent family roots and profound academic training. The problem of the different records of Zhao Mengkui’s origin is due to the fact that he lived in a different place of official transfer. In his life, Zhao Mengkui had a close personal friendship with Liu Kezhuang, Li Qianwei, Lin Xiyi, and other literati. It is an important reference value for the study of the compilation of the Tang Songs and Poems

Geochemitry of the Xiong’er volcanic rocks: implications for the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic accretion of the North China Craton

This journal supplement has title: Awards Ceremony Speeches and Abstracts of the 19th Annual V.M. Goldschmidt ConferenceThe Xiong.er volcanic belt along the southern margin of the North China Craton is dominated by basaltic andesite and andesite with minor dacite and rhyolite. Geochemically, the Xiong.er volcanic rocks fall in the calc-alkaline series, with enrichments in the LILE and LREE, and negative anomalies on Nb-Ta-Ti, similar to arc-related volcanic rocks (He et al. 2008; Zhao et al. 2009). Available SHRIMP and LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon age data indicate that the volcanism forming the Xiong.er volcanic rocks erupted intermittently over a protracted interval from 1.78 Ga, through 1.76-1.75 Ga and 1.65 Ga, to 1.45 Ga, though a major phase of the volcanism occurred at 1.78-175 Ga (He et al. 2009). Taken together, the Xiong.er volcanic belt was most likely a Paleo-Mesoproterozoic continental magmatic arc at the southern margin of the North China Craton. Age-similar continental magmatic arcs were also present at the southeastern margin of Laurentia, southern margin of Baltica, northwestern margin of Amonzonia, and southern and eastern margins of the North Australia Craton, which are considered to represent subduction-related outbuilding on the continental margins of the supercontinent Columbia (Zhao et al. 2004).postprintThe 19th Annual Goldschmidt Conference, Davos, Switzerland, 21-26 June 2009.

Ingredients of nuclear matrix element for two-neutrino double-beta decay of 48Ca

Large-scale shell model calculations including two major shells are carried out, and the ingredients of nuclear matrix element for two-neutrino double beta decay are investigated. Based on the comparison between the shell model calculations accounting only for one major shell ($pf$-shell) and those for two major shells ($sdpf$-shell), the effect due to the excitation across the two major shells is quantitatively evaluated.Comment: To appear in J.
