Triple Products and Yang-Baxter Equation (II): Orthogonal and Symplectic Ternary Systems

We generalize the result of the preceeding paper and solve the Yang-Baxter equation in terms of triple systems called orthogonal and symplectic ternary systems. In this way, we found several other new solutions.Comment: 38 page

A new screening function for Coulomb renormalization

We introduce a new screening function which is useful for the few-body Coulomb scattering problem in ``screening and renormalization'' scheme. The new renormalization phase factor of the screening function is analytically shown. The Yukawa type of the screening potential has been used in several decades, we modify it to make more useful. As a concrete example, we compare the proton-proton scattering phase shifts calculated from these potentials. The numerical results document that high precision calculations of the renormalization are performed by the new screening function.Comment: 4 pages, 8 figure

Black Strings in Our World

The brane world scenario is a new approach to resolve the problem on how to compactify the higher dimensional spacetime to our 4-dimensional world. One of the remarkable features of this scenario is the higher dimensional effects in classical gravitational interactions at short distances. Due to this feature, there are black string solutions in our 4-dimensional world. In this paper, assuming the simplest model of complex minimally coupled scalar field with the local U(1) symmetry, we show a possibility of black-string formation by merging processes of type I long cosmic strings in our 4-dimensional world. No fine tuning for the parameters in the model might be necessary.Comment: 11pages, no figur

Phase transition of color-superconductivity and cooling behavior of quark stars

We discuss the color-superconductivity and its effect on the cooling behavior of strange quark stars. The neutrino emissivity and specific heat of quark matter are calculated within the BCS theory. In the superconducting phase, the emissivity decreases and causes suppression of the cooling rate. It is shown that the phase transition leads to a sudden discontinuous suppression of the cooling rate in cooperation with the specific heat.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure

Bogoliubov quasiparticle spectra of the effective d-wave model for cuprate superconductivity

An exact-diagonalization technique on finite-size clusters is used to study the ground state and excitation spectra of the two-dimensional effective fermion model, a fictious model of hole quasiparticles derived from numerical studies of the two-dimensional t-J model at low doping. We show that there is actually a reasonable range of parameter values where the $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave pairing of holes occurs and the low-lying excitation can be described by the picture of Bogoliubov quasiparticles in the BCS pairing theory. The gap parameter of a size $\Delta_d\simeq 0.13|V|$ (where $V$ is the attractive interaction between holes) is estimated at low doping levels. The paired state gives way to the state of clustering of holes for some stronger attractions.Comment: 4 pages, RevTeX. Figures available upon request to [email protected]. To be published in Phys.

Geometric Bremsstrahlung in the Early Universe

We discuss photon emission from particles decelerlated by the cosmic expansion. This can be interpretated as a kind of bremsstrahlung induced by the Universe geometry. In the high momentum limit its transition probability does not depend on detailed behavior of the expansion.Comment: 20 pages, No figure
