Symmetry consideration and eg bands in NdNiO3 and YNiO3
Group theoretical analyses are applied to the magnetic and electronic
structures of NdNiO3 and YNiO3, whose electronic structures have been studied
very recently by the LSDA+U method. The Jahn-Teller distortion cannot satisfy
the experimentally observed magnetic diffraction. The resultant ground state
magnetic stuructures are monoclinic P_ba in NdNiO3 case and P_b2_1/a in YNiO3
case, respectively.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Proc. Int. Symp. ISSP-Kashiwa 200
Self-similar solutions and collective coordinate methods for Nonlinear Schrodinger Equations
In this paper we study the phase of self-similar solutions to general
Nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. From this analysis we gain insight on the
dynamics of nontrivial solutions and a deeper understanding of the way
collective coordinate methods work. We also find general evolution equations
for the most relevant dynamical parameter corresponding to the width of
the solution. These equations are exact for self-similar solutions and provide
a shortcut to find approximate evolution equations for the width of
non-self-similar solutions similar to those of collective coordinate methods
Nahm dualities on the torus - a synthesis
We give a unified description of self-dual SU(2) gauge fields on tori of size
lt x ls^3 based on a mixture of analytical and numerical methods using the Nahm
transformation, extended to the case of twisted boundary conditions. We show
how torus calorons (lt/ls small) are Nahm dual to the torus instantons (lt/ls
large). Holonomies are dual to the locations of constituents, this duality
becoming exact in the limiting cases ls or lt --> infinity. Implications for
the moduli spaces are discussed.Comment: Latex, 22 pages, 8 figures in 11 postscript file
Kaluza's theory in generalized coordinates
Maxwell's equations can be obtained in generalized coordinates by considering
the electromagnetic field as an external agent. The work here presented shows
how to obtain the electrodynamics for a charged particle in generalized
coordinates eliminating the concept of external force. Based on Kaluza's
formalism, the one here presented extends the 5x5 metric into a 6x6 space-time
giving enough room to include magnetic monopoles in a very natural way.Comment: 11 pages, RevTex. Accepted for publication in the Journal of

Electron iduced light emission in photonic crystals
The interaction of a fast electron with a photonic crystal is studied by
solving the Maxwell equations exactly for the external field provided by the
electron in the presence of the crystal. The polarization currents and charges
produced by the passage of the electron give rise to the emission of the
so-called Smith-Purcell radiation. The emitted light probability is obtained by
integrating the Poynting vector over planes parallel to the crystal at a large
distance from the latter. Both reflected and transmitted light components are
analyzed and related to the photonic band structure of the crystal. Emission
spectra are compared with the energy loss probability and also with the
reflectance and transmittance of the crystal.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, nano-7/ecoss-21 proceedings, submitted to Surface

Simplest miniversal deformations of matrices, matrix pencils, and contragredient matrix pencils
V. I. Arnold [Russian Math. Surveys 26 (2) (1971) 29-43] constructed a simple
normal form for a family of complex n-by-n matrices that smoothly depend on
parameters with respect to similarity transformations that smoothly depend on
the same parameters. We construct analogous normal forms for a family of real
matrices and a family of matrix pencils that smoothly depend on parameters,
simplifying their normal forms by D. M. Galin [Uspehi Mat. Nauk 27 (1) (1972)
241-242] and by A. Edelman, E. Elmroth, B. Kagstrom [Siam J. Matrix Anal. Appl.
18 (3) (1997) 653-692].Comment: 20 page
Particle production from symmetry breaking after inflation and leptogenesis
Recent studies suggest that the process of symmetry breaking after inflation
typically occurs very fast, within a single oscillation of the
symmetry-breaking field, due to the spinodal growth of its long-wave modes,
otherwise known as `tachyonic preheating'. We show how this sudden transition
from the false to the true vacuum can induce a significant production of
particles, bosons and fermions, coupled to the symmetry-breaking field. We find
that this new mechanism of particle production in the early Universe may have
interesting consequences for the origin of supermassive dark matter and the
generation of the observed baryon asymmetry through leptogenesis.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figures. Significantly enlarged version, including a more
detailed discussion of leptogenesis. To appear in Physics Letters
Multi-Caloron solutions
We discuss the construction of multi-caloron solutions with non-trivial
holonomy, both as approximate superpositions and exact self-dual solutions. The
charge k SU(n) moduli space can be described by kn constituent monopoles. Exact
solutions help us to understand how these constituents can be seen as
independent objects, which seems not possible with the approximate
superposition. An "impurity scattering" calculation provides relatively simple
expressions. Like at zero temperature an explicit parametrization requires
solving a quadratic ADHM constraint, achieved here for a class of axially
symmetric solutions. We will discuss the properties of these exact solutions in
detail, but also demonstrate that interesting results can be obtained without
explicitly solving for the constraint.Comment: 31 pages, 7 figures (in 19 parts
Deformed commutators on quantum group module-algebras
AbstractWe construct quantum commutators on module-algebras of quasi-triangular Hopf algebras. These are quantum-group covariant and have generalized antisymmetry and Leibniz properties. If the Hopf algebra is triangular they additionally satisfy a generalized Jacobi identity, turning the module-algebra into a quantum-Lie algebra
Classification of Inflationary Potentials
Brans-Dicke gravity is remarkable not only in that General Relativity and
Mach's Principle find a common enlarged scenario where they are mutually
consistent, but also in that it provides a very interesting quantum
cosmological model within the inflationary paradigm. The interplay between the
Brans-Dicke scalar and the inflaton field plays an important
r\^{o}le during the course of inflation, and although the dynamics as such is
governed by the potential, the onset and the end of inflation are determined by
the values of both fields jointly. The relative position of the beginning-- and
end-of-inflation curves (BoI and EoI respectively) is the most relevant factor
in determining the resulting quantum cosmological scenario. The classification
of potentials that is given in this paper is based on the criterion of whether
the BoI and EoI boundaries enclose a finite or infinite area in the
(,) plane where inflation takes place. It is shown that this
qualitative classification distinguishes two classes of potentials that yield
very different cosmologies and it is argued that only those theories in which
BoI and EoI enclose a finite area in the (,) plane are compatible
with our observable universe.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
