Effect of ionic ordering in conductivity experiments of DNA aqueous solutions

The effects of ionic ordering in DNA water solutions are studied by conductivity experiments. The conductivity measurements are performed for the solutions of DNA with KCl salt in the temperature range from 28 to 70 C. Salt concentration vary from 0 to 2 M. The conductivity of solutions without DNA but with the same concentration of KCl salt are also performed. The results show that in case of salt free solution of DNA the melting process of the double helix is observed, while in case of DNA solution with added salt the macromolecule denaturation is not featured. For salt concentrations lower than some critical one (0.4 M) the conductivity of DNA solution is higher than the conductivity of KCl water solution without DNA. Starting from the critical concentration the conductivity of KCl solution is higher than the conductivity of DNA solution with added salt. For description of the experimental data phenomenological model is elaborated basing on electrolyte theory. In framework of the developed model a mechanism of counterion ordering is introduced. According to this mechanism under the low salt concentrations electrical conductivity of the system is caused by counterions of DNA ion-hydrate shell. Increasing the amount of salt to the critical concentration counterions condense on DNA polyanion. Further increase of salt concentration leads to the formation of DNA-salt complexes that decreases the conductivity of the system.Comment: 12 pages, 6figures. Ukr. J. Phys. (2014

Integrability of the symmetry reduced bosonic dynamics and soliton generating transformations in the low energy heterotic string effective theory

Integrable structure of the symmetry reduced dynamics of massless bosonic sector of the heterotic string effective action is presented. For string background equations that govern in the space-time of $D$ dimensions ($D\ge 4$) the dynamics of interacting gravitational, dilaton, antisymmetric tensor and any number $n\ge 0$ of Abelian vector gauge fields, all depending only on two coordinates, we construct an \emph{equivalent} $(2 d+n)\times(2 d+n)$ matrix spectral problem ($d=D-2$). This spectral problem provides the base for the development of various solution constructing procedures (dressing transformations, integral equation methods). For the case of the absence of Abelian gauge fields, we present the soliton generating transformations of any background with interacting gravitational, dilaton and the second rank antisymmetric tensor fields. This new soliton generating procedure is available for constructing of various types of field configurations including stationary axisymmetric fields, interacting plane, cylindrical or some other types of waves and cosmological solutions.Comment: 4 pages; added new section on Belinski-Zakharov solitons and new expressions for calculation of the conformal factor; corrected typo

Laser in the axial electric field as a tool to search for P-, T- invariance violation

We consider rotation of polarization plane of the laser light when a gas laser is placed in a longitudinal electric field (10~kV/cm). It is shown that residual anisotropy of the laser cavity 10^{-6} and the sensitivity to the angle of polarization plane rotation about 10^{-11} -10^{-12} rad allows one to measure an electron EDM with the sensitivity about 10^{-30} e cm.Comment: 12 page

A nonperturbative model for the strong running coupling within potential approach

A nonperturbative model for the QCD invariant charge, which contains no low-energy unphysical singularities and possesses an elevated higher loop corrections stability, is developed in the framework of potential approach. The static quark-antiquark potential is constructed by making use of the proposed model for the strong running coupling. The obtained result coincides with the perturbative potential at small distances and agrees with relevant lattice simulation data in the nonperturbative physically-relevant region. The developed model yields a reasonable value of the QCD scale parameter, which is consistent with its previous estimations obtained within potential approach.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure

Two dimensional lattice gauge theory based on a quantum group

In this article we analyze a two dimensional lattice gauge theory based on a quantum group.The algebra generated by gauge fields is the lattice algebra introduced recently by A.Yu.Alekseev,H.Grosse and V.Schomerus we define and study wilson loops and compute explicitely the partition function on any Riemann surface. This theory appears to be related to Chern-Simons Theory.Comment: 35 pages LaTex file,CPTH A302-05.94 (we have corrected some misprints and added more material to be complete

Expanded Strings in the Background of NS5-branes via a M2-brane, a D2-brane and D0-branes

Classical configurations of a M2-brane, a D2-brane and D0-branes are investigated in the background of an infinite array of M5-branes or NS5-branes. On the M2-brane, we discuss three kinds of configurations, such as a sphere, a cylinder and a torus-like one. These are stabilized by virtue of the background fluxes of M5-branes. The torus-like M2-brane configuration has winding and momentum numbers of 11th direction, and in terms of the type IIA superstring theory, this corresponds to a torus-like D2-brane with electric and magnetic fluxes on it. We also reproduce the same configuration from a non-abelian Born-Infeld action for D0-branes. It will be a construction of closed strings from D0-branes. An electric flux quantization condition on the D2-brane is also discussed in terms of D0-branes.Comment: 33 pages, 6 figures, references and footnote added, confusing expressions and introduction are improved, version to appear in JHE

2D induced gravity from canonically gauged WZNW system

Starting from the Kac--Moody structure of the WZNW model for SL(2,R) and using the general canonical formalism, we formulate a gauge theory invariant under local SL(2,R) x SL(2,R) and diffeomorphisms. This theory represents a gauge extension of the WZNW system, defined by a difference of two simple WZNW actions. By performing a partial gauge fixing and integrating out some dynamical variables, we prove that the resulting effective theory coincides with the induced gravity in 2D. The geometric properties of the induced gravity are obtained out of the gauge properties of the WZNW system with the help of the Dirac bracket formalism.Comment: LaTeX, 21 page

2D Induced Gravity as an Effective WZNW System

We introduced a dynamical system given by a difference of two simple SL(2,R) WZNW actions in 2D, and defined the related gauge theory in a consistent way. It is shown that gauge symmetry can be fixed in such a way that, after integrating out some dynamical variables in the functional integral, one obtains the induced gravity action.Comment: LaTeX, 16 page
