Analytic solutions for nonlinear waves in coupled reacting systems

We analyze a system of reacting elements harmonically coupled to nearest neighbors in the continuum limit. An analytic solution is found for traveling waves. The procedure is used to find oscillatory as well as solitary waves. A comparison is made between exact solutions and solutions of the piecewise linearized system, showing how the linearization affects the amplitude and frequency of the solutions.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, RevTeX 4 styl

Dual WDVV Equations in N=2 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory

This paper studies the dual form of Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV) equations in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by applying a duality transformation to WDVV equations. The dual WDVV equations called in this paper are non-linear differential equations satisfied by dual prepotential and are found to have the same form with the original WDVV equations. However, in contrast with the case of weak coupling calculus, the perturbative part of dual prepotential itself does not satisfy the dual WDVV equations. Nevertheless, it is possible to show that the non-perturbative part of dual prepotential can be determined from dual WDVV equations, provided the perturbative part is given. As an example, the SU(4) case is presented. The non-perturbative dual prepotential derived in this way is consistent to the dual prepotential obtained by D'Hoker and Phong.Comment: misprints are corrected, revtex, 10 page

Systematic perturbation approach for a dynamical scaling law in a kinetically constrained spin model

The dynamical behaviours of a kinetically constrained spin model (Fredrickson-Andersen model) on a Bethe lattice are investigated by a perturbation analysis that provides exact final states above the nonergodic transition point. It is observed that the time-dependent solutions of the derived dynamical systems obtained by the perturbation analysis become systematically closer to the results obtained by Monte Carlo simulations as the order of a perturbation series is increased. This systematic perturbation analysis also clarifies the existence of a dynamical scaling law, which provides a implication for a universal relation between a size scale and a time scale near the nonergodic transition.Comment: 17 pages, 7 figures, v2; results have been refined, v3; A figure has been modified, v4; results have been more refine

Doping dependent quasiparticle band structure in cuprate superconductors

We present an exact diagonalization study of the single particle spectral function in the so-called t-t'-t''-J model in 2D. As a key result, we find that unlike the `pure' t-J model, hole doping leads to a major reconstruction of the quasiparticle band structure near (pi,0): whereas for the undoped system the quasiparticle states near (pi,0) are deep below the top of the band at (pi/2,pi/2), hole doping shifts these states up to E_F, resulting in extended flat band regions close to E_F and around (pi,0). This strong doping-induced deformation can be directly compared to angle resolved photoemission results on Sr_2 Cu Cl_2 O_2, underdoped Bi2212 and optimally doped Bi2212. We propose the interplay of long range hopping and decreasing spin correlations as the mechanism of this deformation.Comment: 4 pages, Revtex, with 4 embedded eps figures.

Exact Charged 2-Body Motion and the Static Balance Condition in Lineal Gravity

We find an exact solution to the charged 2-body problem in $(1+1)$ dimensional lineal gravity which provides the first example of a relativistic system that generalizes the Majumdar-Papapetrou condition for static balance.Comment: latex,7 pages, 2 figure

Inflation from Superstring/M-Theory Compactification with Higher Order Corrections II -- Case of Quartic Weyl Terms --

We present a detailed study of inflationary solutions in M-theory with higher order quantum corrections. We first exhaust all exact and asymptotic solutions of exponential and power-law expansions in this theory with quartic curvature corrections, and then perform a linear perturbation analysis around fixed points for the exact solutions in order to see which solutions are more generic and give interesting cosmological models. We find an interesting solution in which the external space expands exponentially and the internal space is static both in the original and Einstein frames. This may be regarded as moduli stabilization by higher order corrections. Furthermore, we perform a numerical calculation around this solution and find numerical solutions which give enough e-foldings. We also briefly summarize similar solutions in type II superstrings.Comment: 40 pages, 11 figures, v2: additional explanations, refs. added, to appear in PR

CO(J=6-5) Observations of the Quasar SDSS1044-0125 at z = 5.8

We present a result of the quasar CO(J=6-5) observations of SDSSp J104433.04-012502.2 at z = 5.8. Ten-days observations with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array yielded an rms noise level of ~ 2.1 mJy/beam in a frequency range from 101.28 GHz to 101.99 GHz at a velocity resolution of 120 km/s. No significant clear emission line was detected in the observed field and frequency range. Three sigma upper limit on the CO(J=6-5) luminosity of the object is 2.8 x 10^10 K km/s pc^2, corresponding to a molecular gas mass of 1.2 x 10^11 Solar Mass, if a conversion factor of 4.5 Solar Mass /(K km/s pc^2) is adopted. The obtained upper limit on CO luminosity is slightly smaller than those observed in quasars at z=4-5 toward which CO emissions are detected.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, LaTeX2e, to appear in Publication of Astronomical Society of Japan (PASJ), Postscript file available at ftp://ftp.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/iwata/preprint/sdss1044/sdss.ps.g

Global solutions for higher-dimensional stretched small black holes

Small black holes in heterotic string theory have vanishing horizon area at the supergravity level, but the horizon is stretched to the finite radius $AdS_2 \times S^{D-2}$ geometry once higher curvature corrections are turned on. This has been demonstrated to give good agreement with microscopic entropy counting. Previous considerations, however, were based on the classical local solutions valid only in the vicinity of the event horizon. Here we address the question of global existence of extremal black holes in the $D$-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory with the Gauss-Bonnet term introducing a variable dilaton coupling $a$ as a parameter. We show that asymptotically flat black holes exist only in a bounded region of the dilaton couplings $0 < a < a_{\rm cr}$ where $a_{\rm cr}$ depends on $D$. For $D \geq 5$ (but not for $D = 4$) the allowed range of $a$ includes the heterotic string values. For $a > a_{\rm cr}$ numerical solutions meet weak naked singularities at finite radii $r = r_{\rm cusp}$ (spherical cusps), where the scalar curvature diverges as $|r - r_{\rm cusp}|^{-1/2}$. For $D \geq 7$ cusps are met in pairs, so that solutions can be formally extended to asymptotically flat infinity choosing a suitable integration variable. We show, however, that radial geodesics cannot be continued through the cusp singularities, so such a continuation is unphysical.Comment: 26 pages, 19 figures, minor correction

Deformable self-propelled particles

A theory of self-propelled particles is developed in two dimensions assuming that the particles can be deformed from a circular shape when the propagating velocity is increased. A coupled set of equations in terms of the velocity and a tensor variable to represent the deformation is introduced to show that there is a bifurcation from a straight motion to a circular motion of a single particle. Dynamics of assembly of the particles is studied numerically where there is a global interaction such that the particles tend to cause an orientational order.Comment: 4pages, 4figure

OM Theory and V-duality

We show that the (M5, M2, M2$'$, MW) bound state solution of eleven dimensional supergravity recently constructed in hep-th/0009147 is related to the (M5, M2) bound state one by a finite Lorentz boost along a M5-brane direction perpendicular to the M2-brane. Given the (M5, M2) bound state as a defining system for OM theory and the above relation between this system and the (M5, M2, M2', MW) bound state, we test the recently proposed V-duality conjecture in OM theory. Insisting to have a decoupled OM theory, we find that the allowed Lorentz boost has to be infinitesimally small, therefore resulting in a family of OM theories related by Galilean boosts. We argue that such related OM theories are equivalent to each other. In other words, V-duality holds for OM theory as well. Upon compactification on either an electric or a `magnetic' circle (plus T-dualities as well), the V-duality for OM theory gives the known one for either noncommutative open string theories or noncommutative Yang-Mills theories. This further implies that V-duality holds in general for the little m-theory without gravity.Comment: 17 pages, typos corrected and references adde
