Lattice monopole action in pure SU(3) QCD

We obtain an almost perfect monopole action numerically after abelian projection in pure SU(3) lattice QCD. Performing block-spin transformations on the dual lattice, the action fixed depends only on a physical scale b. Monopole condensation occurs for large b region. The numerical results show that two-point monopole interactions are dominant for large b. We next perform the block-spin transformation analytically in a simplified case of two-point monopole interactions with a Wilson loop on the fine lattice. The perfect operator evaluating the static quark potential on the coarse b-lattice are derived. The monopole partition function can be transformed into that of the string model. The static potential and the string tension are estimated in the string model framework. The rotational invariance of the static potential is recovered, but the string tension is a little larger than the physical one.Comment: 21pages,4figures,to be published in JHE

Monopole Condensation in Lattice SU(2) QCD

This is the short review of Monte-Carlo studies of quark confinement in lattice QCD. After abelian projections both in the maximally abelian and Polyakov gauges, it is seen that the monopole part alone is responsible for confinement. A block spin transformation on the dual lattice suggests that lattice $SU(2)$ QCD is always ( for all $\beta$) in the monopole condensed phase and so in the confinement phase in the infinite volume limit.Comment: Contribution to Confinement '95, March 1995, Osaka, Japan.

Various representations of infrared effective lattice QCD

We study various representations of the infrared effective theory of SU(2) gluodynamics starting from the monopole action derived recently. We determine the coupling constants in the abelian-Higgs model directly from lattice QCD and evaluate the type of the QCD vacuum. The string action is derived using the BKT transformation on the lattice. At the classical level this action reproduces the physical string tension with a good accuracy.Comment: 3 pages, LaTeX, 2 figures; talk presented at LATTICE9

Multi-label Ferns for Efficient Recognition of Musical Instruments in Recordings

In this paper we introduce multi-label ferns, and apply this technique for automatic classification of musical instruments in audio recordings. We compare the performance of our proposed method to a set of binary random ferns, using jazz recordings as input data. Our main result is obtaining much faster classification and higher F-score. We also achieve substantial reduction of the model size

Evidence of Strong Correlation between Instanton and QCD-monopole on SU(2) Lattice

The correlation between instantons and QCD-monopoles is studied both in the lattice gauge theory and in the continuum theory. An analytical study in the Polyakov-like gauge, where $A_4(x)$ is diagonalized, shows that the QCD-monopole trajectory penetrates the center of each instanton, and becomes complicated in the multi-instanton system. Using the SU(2) lattice with $16^4$, the instanton number is measured in the singular (monopole-dominating) and regular (photon-dominating) parts, respectively. The monopole dominance for the topological charge is found both in the maximally abelian gauge and in the Polyakov gauge.Comment: 4 pages, Latex, 3 figures. Talk presented by H.

Current status of the muon g − 2 interpretations within two-Higgs-doublet models

In this article, we review and update implications of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon g−2) anomaly for two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs), which are classified according to imposed symmetries and their resulting Yukawa sector. In the minimal setup, the muon g−2 anomaly can be accommodated by the type-X (leptophilic) 2HDM, flavor-aligned 2HDM (FA2HDM), muon-specific 2HDM (μ2HDM), and μτ-flavor-violating 2HDM. We summarize all relevant experimental constraints from high-energy collider experiments and flavor experiments, as well as the theoretical constraints from the perturbative unitarity and vacuum stability bounds, to these 2HDMs in light of the muon g−2 anomaly. We clarify the available parameter spaces of these 2HDMs and investigate how to probe the remaining parameter regions in future experiments. In particular, we find that, due to the updated Bs→μ+μ− measurement, the remaining parameter region of the FA2HDM is almost equivalent to the one of the type-X 2HDM. Furthermore, based on collider simulations, we find that the type-X 2HDM is excluded and the μ2HDM scenario will be covered with the upcoming run 3 data

Chemistry of Soft Porous Crystals:Structural Dynamics and Gas Adsorption Properties

In this Minireview, we discuss the fundamental chemistry of soft porous crystals (SPCs) by characterizing their common structural features and the resulting structural softness and transitions. In particular, we focus on the recently emerging properties based on metastable transitions and those arising from local dynamics. By comparing the resulting adsorption properties to those of commonly applied rigid adsorbents, we highlight the potential of SPCs to revolutionize adsorption-based technologies, considering our current understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects. We provide brief outlines for the experimental and computational characterization of such phenomena and offer an outlook toward next-generation SPCs likely to be discovered in the next decade

Confinement and Topological Charge in the Abelian Gauge of QCD

We study the relation between instantons and monopoles in the abelian gauge. First, we investigate the monopole in the multi-instanton solution in the continuum Yang-Mills theory using the Polyakov gauge. At a large instanton density, the monopole trajectory becomes highly complicated, which can be regarded as a signal of monopole condensation. Second, we study instantons and monopoles in the SU(2) lattice gauge theory both in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge and in the Polyakov gauge. Using the $16^3 \times 4$ lattice, we find monopole dominance for instantons in the confinement phase even at finite temperatures. A linear-type correlation is found between the total monopole-loop length and the integral of the absolute value of the topological density (the total number of instantons and anti-instantons) in the MA gauge. We conjecture that instantons enhance the monopole-loop length and promote monopole condensation.Comment: 3 pages, LaTeX, Talk presented at LATTICE96(topology

Effective Monopole Action at Finite Temperature in SU(2) Gluodynamics

Effective monopole action at finite temperature in SU(2) gluodynamics is studied on anisotropic lattices. Using an inverse Monte-Carlo method and the blockspin transformation for space directions, we determine 4-dimensional effective monopole action at finite temperature. We get an almost perfect action in the continuum limit under the assumption that the action is composed of two-point interactions alone. It depends on a physical scale $b_s$ and the temperature $T$. The temperature-dependence appears with respect to the spacelike monopole couplings in the deconfinement phase, whereas the timelike monopole couplings do not show any appreciable temperature-dependence. The dimensional reduction of the 4-dimensional SU(2) gluodynamics ((SU(2))$_{4D}$) at high temperature is the 3-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model ($(GG)_{3D}$). The latter is studied at the parameter region obtained from the dimensional red uction. We compare the effective instanton action of $(GG)_{3D}$ with the timelike monopole action obtained from (SU(2))$_{4D}$. We find that both agree very well for $T \ge 2.4T_c$ at large $b$ region. The dimensional reduction works well also for the effective action.Comment: 34 pages, 23 figure

D * polarization vs. R D(∗) anomalies in the leptoquark models

Polarization measurements in B → D(*)Ƭν̅ are useful to check consistency in new physics explanations for the RD and RD* anomalies. In this paper, we investigate the D* and Ƭ polarizations and focus on the new physics contributions to the fraction of a longitudinal D* polarization (F D*/L ), which is recently measured by the Belle collaboration F D*/L = 0:60 ± 0:09, in model-independent manner and in each single leptoquark model (R2, S1 and U1) that can naturally explain the RD(*) anomalies. It is found that B(B+/c → Ƭ⁺ν) severely restricts deviation from the Standard Model (SM) prediction of F D*/L,SM = 0:46 ± 0:04 in the leptoquark models: [0:43; 0:44], [0:42; 0:48], and [0:43; 0:47] are predicted as a range of F D*/L for the R2, S1, and U1 leptoquark models, respectively, where the current data of RD(*) is satised at 1 σ level. It is also shown that the Ƭ polarization observables can much deviate from the SM predictions. The Belle II experiment, therefore, can check such correlations between RD(*) and the polarization observables, and discriminate among the leptoquark models
