Hard X-ray imaging observation of fluctuating bursts

Measurements were done to obtain the one-dimensional sizes of rapidly fluctuating bursts with fast spikes whose rise times are typically about one second, and in some extreme cases less than 0.1 second. The results of two bursts with fast spikes are presented. One has a soft spectrum, and the other has a very hard spectrum. The measured one-dimensional size of both events indicates relatively a small size and simple structure. It can be said, however, that the source size is not so small as expected from its rapid time variations. Therefore, a thermal explanation of these bursts seems to be excluded

Integrating out Holographic QCD back to Hidden Local Symmetry

We develop a previously proposed gauge-invariant method to integrate out infinite towers of vector and axialvector mesons arising as Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes in a class of holographic models of QCD (HQCD). We demonstrate that HQCD can be reduced to the chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) with the hidden local symmetry (HLS) (so-called HLS-ChPT) having only the lowest KK mode identified as the HLS gauge boson, and the Nambu-Goldstone bosons. The ${\cal O} (p^4)$ terms in the HLS-ChPT are completely determined by integrating out infinite towers of vector/axialvector mesons in HQCD: Effects of higher KK modes are fully included in the coefficients. As an example, we apply our method to the Sakai-Sugimoto model.Comment: To appear in proceedings of SCGT09, Nagoya, Japan, 8 page

RPA for Light-Front Hamiltonian Field Theory

A self-consistent random phase approximation (RPA) is proposed as an effective Hamiltonian method in Light-Front Field Theory (LFFT). We apply the general idea to the light-front massive Schwinger model to obtain a new bound state equation and solve it numerically.Comment: A major revision in presentation, while the results essentially unchanged. 2 figs. replaced, 1 fig. added, some parts of Sec. V moved to Sec. IV, some wording changed, typos correcte

Coarse-grained loop algorithms for Monte Carlo simulation of quantum spin systems

Recently, Syljuasen and Sandvik proposed a new framework for constructing algorithms of quantum Monte Carlo simulation. While it includes new classes of powerful algorithms, it is not straightforward to find an efficient algorithm for a given model. Based on their framework, we propose an algorithm that is a natural extension of the conventional loop algorithm with the split-spin representation. A complete table of the vertex density and the worm-scattering probability is presented for the general XXZ model of an arbitrary S with a uniform magnetic field.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, insert a word "squared" in the first line of the caption of Fig.7 and correct the label of vertical axis of Fig.
