Evaluation of specific heat for superfluid helium between 0 - 2.1 K based on nonlinear theory

The specific heat of liquid helium was calculated theoretically in the Landau theory. The results deviate from experimental data in the temperature region of 1.3 - 2.1 K. Many theorists subsequently improved the results of the Landau theory by applying temperature dependence of the elementary excitation energy. As well known, many-body system has a total energy of Galilean covariant form. Therefore, the total energy of liquid helium has a nonlinear form for the number distribution function. The function form can be determined using the excitation energy at zero temperature and the latent heat per helium atom at zero temperature. The nonlinear form produces new temperature dependence for the excitation energy from Bose condensate. We evaluate the specific heat using iteration method. The calculation results of the second iteration show good agreement with the experimental data in the temperature region of 0 - 2.1 K, where we have only used the elementary excitation energy at 1.1 K.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Journal of Physics: Conference Serie

Commuting Charges of the Quantum Korteweg-deVries and Boussinesq Theories from the Reduction of W(infinity) and W(1+infinity) Algebras

Integrability of the quantum Boussinesq equation for c=-2 is demonstrated by giving a recursive algorithm for generating explicit expressions for the infinite number of commuting charges based on a reduction of the W(infinity) algebra. These charges exist for all spins $s \geq 2$. Likewise, reductions of the W(infinity/2) and W((1+infinity)/2) algebras yield the commuting quantum charges for the quantum KdV equation at c=-2 and c=1/2, respectively.Comment: 11 pages, RevTe

Calogero-Moser Models III: Elliptic Potentials and Twisting

Universal Lax pairs of the root type with spectral parameter and independent coupling constants for twisted non-simply laced Calogero-Moser models are constructed. Together with the Lax pairs for the simply laced models and untwisted non-simply laced models presented in two previous papers, this completes the derivation of universal Lax pairs for all of the Calogero-Moser models based on root systems. As for the twisted models based on B_n, C_n and BC_nroot systems, a new type of potential term with independent coupling constants can be added without destroying integrability. They are called extended twisted models. All of the Lax pairs for the twisted models presented here are new, except for the one for the F_4 model based on the short roots. The Lax pairs for the twisted G_2 model have some novel features. Derivation of various functions, twisted and untwisted, appearing in the Lax pairs for elliptic potentials with the spectral parameter is provided. The origin of the spectral parameter is also naturally explained. The Lax pairs with spectral parameter, twisted and untwisted, for the hyperbolic, the trigonometric and the rational potential models are obtained as degenerate limits of those for the elliptic potential models.Comment: LaTeX2e with amsfonts.sty, 36 pages, no figure

Non-Gaussianity of the primordial perturbation in the curvaton model

We use the delta N -formalism to investigate the non-Gaussianity of the primordial curvature perturbation in the curvaton scenario for the origin of structure. We numerically calculate the full probability distribution function allowing for the non-instantaneous decay of the curvaton and compare this with analytic results derived in the sudden-decay approximation. We also present results for the leading-order contribution to the primordial bispectrum and trispectrum. In the sudden-decay approximation we derive a fully non-linear expression relating the primordial perturbation to the initial curvaton perturbation. As an example of how non-Gaussianity provides additional constraints on model parameters, we show how the primordial bispectrum on CMB scales can be used to constrain variance on much smaller scales in the curvaton field. Our analytical and numerical results allow for multiple tests of primordial non-Gaussianity, and thus they can offer consistency tests of the curvaton scenario.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures.

Explicit solutions of the classical Calogero & Sutherland systems for any root system

Explicit solutions of the classical Calogero (rational with/without harmonic confining potential) and Sutherland (trigonometric potential) systems is obtained by diagonalisation of certain matrices of simple time evolution. The method works for Calogero & Sutherland systems based on any root system. It generalises the well-known results by Olshanetsky and Perelomov for the A type root systems. Explicit solutions of the (rational and trigonometric) higher Hamiltonian flows of the integrable hierarchy can be readily obtained in a similar way for those based on the classical root systems.Comment: 18 pages, LaTeX, no figur

QCD phase diagram and charge fluctuations

We discuss the phase structure and fluctuations of conserved charges in two flavor QCD. The importance of the density fluctuations to probe the existence of the critical end point is summarized. The role of these fluctuations to identify the first order phase transition in the presence of spinodal phase separation is also discussed.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, plenary talk given at the 19th International Conference on Ultrarelativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions: Quark Matter 2006 (QM 2006), Shanghai, China, 14-20 Nov 200

Virtual photon structure functions and positivity constraints

We study the three positivity constraints among the eight virtual photon structure functions, derived from the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and which are hence model-independent. The photon structure functions obtained from the simple parton model show quite different behaviors in a massive quark or a massless quark case, but they satisfy, in both cases, the three positivity constraints. We then discuss an inequality which holds among the unpolarized and polarized photon structure functions $F_1^\gamma$, $g_1^\gamma$ and $W_{TT}^\tau$, in the kinematic region $\Lambda^2\ll P^2 \ll Q^2$, where $-Q^2 (-P^2)$ is the mass squared of the probe (target) photon, and we examine whether this inequality is satisfied by the perturbative QCD results.Comment: 24 pages, 13 eps figure

The alphaalphas2alpha alpha_s^2 corrections to the first moment of the polarized virtual photon structure function g1gamma(x,Q2,P2)g_1^gamma(x,Q^2,P^2)

We present the next-to-next-to-leading order ($alpha alpha_s^2$) corrections to the first moment of the polarized virtual photon structure function $g_1^gamma(x,Q^2,P^2)$ in the kinematical region $Lambda^2 ll P^2 ll Q^2$, where $-Q^2(-P^2)$ is the mass squared of the probe (target) photon and $Lambda$ is the QCD scale parameter. In order to evaluate the three-loop-level photon matrix element of the flavor singlet axial current, we resort to the Adler-Bardeen theorem for the axial anomaly and we calculate in effect the two-loop diagrams for the photon matrix element of the gluon operator. The $alpha alpha_s^2$ corrections are found to be about 3% of the sum of the leading order ($alpha$) andthe next-to-leading order ($alpha alpha_s$) contributions, when $Q^2=30 sim 100 {rm GeV}^2$and $P^2=3{rm GeV}^2$, and the number of active quark flavors $n_f$ is three to five.Comment: 21 page
