    R-matrix Approach to Quantum Superalgebras su_{q}(m|n)

    Full text link
    Quantum superalgebras suq(m∣n)su_{q}(m\mid n) are studied in the framework of RR-matrix formalism. Explicit parametrization of L(+)L^{(+)} and L(−)L^{(-)} matrices in terms of suq(m∣n)su_{q}(m\mid n) generators are presented. We also show that quantum deformation of nonsimple superalgebra su(n∣n)su(n\mid n) requires its extension to u(n∣n)u(n\mid n).Comment: 14 page

    Theory of elastic interaction between colloidal particles in the nematic cell in the presence of the external electric or magnetic field

    The Green function method developed in Ref.[S. B. Chernyshuk and B. I. Lev, Phys. Rev. E \textbf{81}, 041707 (2010)] is used to describe elastic interactions between axially symmetric colloidal particles in the nematic cell in the presence of the external electric or magnetic field. General formulas for dipole-dipole, dipole-quadrupole and quadrupole-quadrupole interactions in the homeotropic and planar nematic cells with parallel and perpendicular field orientations are obtained. A set of new results has been predicted: 1) \textit{Deconfinement effect} for dipole particles in the homeotropic nematic cell with negative dielectric anisotropy Δϵ<0\Delta\epsilon<0 and perpendicular to the cell electric field, when electric field is approaching it's Frederiks threshold value E⇒EcE\Rightarrow E_{c}. This means cancellation of the confinement effect found in Ref. [M.Vilfan et al. Phys.Rev.Lett. {\bf 101}, 237801, (2008)] for dipole particles near the Frederiks transition while it remains for quadrupole particles. 2) New effect of \textit{attraction and stabilization} of the particles along the electric field parallel to the cell planes in the homeotropic nematic cell with Δϵ<0\Delta\epsilon<0 . The minimun distance between two particles depends on the strength of the field and can be ordinary for . 3) Attraction and repulsion zones for all elastic interactions are changed dramatically under the action of the external field.Comment: 15 pages, 17 figure

    Rapid roll Inflation with Conformal Coupling

    Full text link
    Usual inflation is realized with a slow rolling scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. In contrast, we consider dynamics of a scalar with a flat effective potential, conformally coupled to gravity. Surprisingly, it contains an attractor inflationary solution with the rapidly rolling inflaton field. We discuss models with the conformal inflaton with a flat potential (including hybrid inflation). There is no generation of cosmological fluctuations from the conformally coupled inflaton. We consider realizations of modulated (inhomogeneous reheating) or curvaton cosmological fluctuations in these models. We also implement these unusual features for the popular string-theoretic warped inflationary scenario, based on the interacting D3-anti D3 branes. The original warped brane inflation suffers a large inflaton mass due to conformal coupling to 4-dimensional gravity. Instead of considering this as a problem and trying to cure it with extra engineering, we show that warped inflation with the conformally coupled, rapidly rolling inflaton is yet possible with N=37 efoldings, which requires low energy scales 1-100 TeV of inflation. Coincidentally, the same warping numerology can be responsible for the hierarchy. It is shown that the scalars associated with angular isometries of the warped geometry of compact manifold (e.g. S^3 of KS geometry) have solutions identical to conformally coupled modes and also cannot be responsible for cosmological fluctuations. We discuss other possibilities.Comment: 15 pages, version accepted for publication in PR
