Brown-Rho Scaling in the Strong Coupling Lattice QCD

We examine the Brown-Rho scaling for meson masses in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD with one species of staggered fermion. Analytical expression of meson masses is derived at finite temperature and chemical potential. We find that meson masses are approximately proportional to the equilibrium value of the chiral condensate, which evolves as a function of temperature and chemical potential.Comment: Prepared for Chiral Symmetry in Hadron and Nuclear Physics (Chiral07), Nov. 13-16, 2007, Osaka, Japa

Phase structure and chiral limit of compact lattice QED with Wilson fermions

We study the phase structure and chiral limit of $4d$ compact lattice QED with Wilson fermions (both dynamical and quenched). We use the standard Wilson action (WA) and also the modified action (MA) with some lattice artifacts suppressed. We show that lattice artifacts influence the distributions of eigenvalues $~\lambda_i~$ of the fermionic matrix especially for small values of $~\lambda_i~$. Our main conclusion is that the chiral limit of compact QED can be efficiently located using different techniques.

Lattice supersymmetry in 1D with two supercharges

A consistent formulation of a fully supersymmetric theory on the lattice has been a long standing challenge. In recent years there has been a renewed interest on this problem with different approaches. At the basis of the formulation we present in the following there is the Dirac-Kahler twisting procedure, which was proposed in the continuum for a number of theories, including N=4 SUSY in four dimensions. Following the formalism developed in recent papers, an exact supersymmetric theory with two supercharges on a one dimensional lattice is realized using a matrix-based model. The matrix structure is obtained from the shift and clock matrices used in two dimensional non-commutative field theories. The matrix structure reproduces on a one dimensional lattice the expected modified Leibniz rule. Recent claims of inconsistency of the formalism are discussed and shown not to be relevant.Comment: 14 pages, Presented by SA and AD at the XXV International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory, July 30 - August 4 2007, Regensburg, German

Microscopic observation of superconducting fluctuations in κ\kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2_{2}Cu[N(CN)2_{2}]Br by 13^{13}C NMR spectroscopy

We performed $^{13}$C-NMR experiment and measured spin-lattice relaxation rate divided by temperature $1/T_{1}T$ near the superconducting (SC) transition temperature $T_{c}$ in $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$Cu[N(CN)$_{2}$]Br ($\kappa$-Br salt), and $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$Cu(NCS)$_{2}$ ($\kappa$-NCS salt). We observed the reduction of $1/T_{1}T$ starting at the temperature higher than $T_c$ in $\kappa$-Br salt. Microscopic observation of quasi-particle density of states in the fluctuating SC state revealed the effects of short-range Cooper pairs induced in the normal state to the quasi-particle density of states. We also performed systematic measurements in the fields both parallel and perpendicular to the conduction plane in $\kappa$-Br and $\kappa$-NCS salts, and confirmed that the reduction of $1/T_{1}T$ above $T_{c}$ is observed only in $\kappa$-Br salt regardless of the external field orientation.Comment: Accepted for publication in PR

The origin of the phase separation in partially deuterated κ\kappa-(ET)2_2Cu[N(CN)2_2]Br studied by infrared magneto-optical imaging spectroscopy

The direct observation of the phase separation between the metallic and insulating states of 75 %-deuterated $\kappa$-(ET)$_2$Cu[N(CN)$_2$]Br ($d33$) using infrared magneto-optical imaging spectroscopy is reported, as well as the associated temperature, cooling rate, and magnetic field dependencies of the separation. The distribution of the center of spectral weight ($$) of $d33$ did not change under any of the conditions in which data were taken and was wider than that of the non-deuterated material. This result indicates that the inhomogenity of the sample itself is important as part of the origin of the metal - insulator phase separation.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in Solid State Commu

N=2 Supersymmetric Model with Dirac-Kahler Fermions from Generalized Gauge Theory in Two Dimensions

We investigate the generalized gauge theory which has been proposed previously and show that in two dimensions the instanton gauge fixing of the generalized topological Yang-Mills action leads to a twisted N=2 supersymmetric action. We have found that the R-symmetry of N=2 supersymmetry can be identified with the flavour symmetry of Dirac-Kahler fermion formulation. Thus the procedure of twist allows topological ghost fields to be interpreted as the Dirac-Kahler matter fermions.Comment: 22 pages, LaTe
