Surface-wave solitons on the interface between a linear medium and a nonlocal nonlinear medium
We address the properties of surface-wave solitons on the interface between a
semi-infinite homogeneous linear medium and a semi-infinite homogeneous
nonlinear nonlocal medium. The stability, energy flow and FWHM of the surface
wave solitons can be affected by the degree of nonlocality of the nonlinear
medium. We find that the refractive index difference affects the power
distribution of the surface solitons in two media. We show that the different
boundary values at the interface can lead to the different peak position of the
surface solitons, but it can not influence the solitons stability with a
certain degree of nonlocality.Comment: 8 pages, 14 figures, 15 references, and so o
Cancellation of divergences in unitary gauge calculation of process via one W loop, and application
Following the thread of R. Gastmans, S. L. Wu and T. T. Wu, the calculation
in the unitary gauge for the process via one W loop is
repeated, without the specific choice of the independent integrated loop
momentum at the beginning. We start from the 'original' definition of each
Feynman diagram, and show that the 4-momentum conservation and the Ward
identity of the W-W-photon vertex can guarantee the cancellation of all terms
among the Feynman diagrams which are to be integrated to give divergences
higher than logarithmic. The remaining terms are to the most logarithmically
divergent, hence is independent from the set of integrated loop momentum. This
way of doing calculation is applied to process via one W loop
in the unitary gauge, the divergences proportional to including
quadratic ones are all cancelled, and terms proportional to are
shown to be zero. The way of dealing with the quadratic divergences
proportional to in has subtle implication on the
employment on the Feynman rules especially when those rules can lead to high
level divergences. So calculation without integration on all the
functions until have to is a more proper or maybe necessary way of the
employment of the Feynman rules.Comment: 1 figure, 34 pages (updated
