High-Temperature Series Expansions for Random Potts Models
We discuss recently generated high-temperature series expansions for the free
energy and the susceptibility of random-bond q-state Potts models on hypercubic
lattices. Using the star-graph expansion technique quenched disorder averages
can be calculated exactly for arbitrary uncorrelated coupling distributions
while keeping the disorder strength p as well as the dimension d as symbolic
parameters. We present analyses of the new series for the susceptibility of the
Ising (q=2) and 4-state Potts model in three dimensions up to order 19 and 18,
respectively, and compare our findings with results from field-theoretical
renormalization group studies and Monte Carlo simulations.Comment: 16 pages,cmp209.sty (included), 9 postscript figures, author

High-temperature series for the bond-diluted Ising model in 3, 4 and 5 dimensions
In order to study the influence of quenched disorder on second-order phase
transitions, high-temperature series expansions of the \sus and the free energy
are obtained for the quenched bond-diluted Ising model in --5
dimensions. They are analysed using different extrapolation methods tailored to
the expected singularity behaviours. In and 5 dimensions we confirm
that the critical behaviour is governed by the pure fixed point up to dilutions
near the geometric bond percolation threshold. The existence and form of
logarithmic corrections for the pure Ising model in is confirmed and
our results for the critical behaviour of the diluted system are in agreement
with the type of singularity predicted by renormalization group considerations.
In three dimensions we find large crossover effects between the pure Ising,
percolation and random fixed point. We estimate the critical exponent of the
\sus to be at the random fixed point.Comment: 16 pages, 10 figure
Interaction dependence of composite fermion effective masses
We estimate the composite fermion effective mass for a general two particle
potential r^{-\alpha} using exact diagonalization for polarized electrons in
the lowest Landau level on a sphere. Our data for the ground state energy at
filling fraction \nu=1/2 as well as estimates of the excitation gap at \nu=1/3,
2/5 and 3/7 show that m_eff \sim \alpha^{-1}.Comment: 4 pages, RevTeX, 5 figure
Star-graph expansions for bond-diluted Potts models
We derive high-temperature series expansions for the free energy and the
susceptibility of random-bond -state Potts models on hypercubic lattices
using a star-graph expansion technique. This method enables the exact
calculation of quenched disorder averages for arbitrary uncorrelated coupling
distributions. Moreover, we can keep the disorder strength as well as the
dimension as symbolic parameters. By applying several series analysis
techniques to the new series expansions, one can scan large regions of the
parameter space for any value of . For the bond-diluted 4-state
Potts model in three dimensions, which exhibits a rather strong first-order
phase transition in the undiluted case, we present results for the transition
temperature and the effective critical exponent as a function of
as obtained from the analysis of susceptibility series up to order 18. A
comparison with recent Monte Carlo data (Chatelain {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev.
E64, 036120(2001)) shows signals for the softening to a second-order transition
at finite disorder strength.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
Unpolarized quasielectrons and the spin polarization at filling fractions between 1/3 and 2/5
We prove that for a hard core interaction the ground state spin polarization
in the low Zeeman energy limit is given by for filling fractions in
the range . The same result holds for a Coulomb
potential except for marginally small magnetic fields. At the magnetic fields
unpolarized quasielectrons can manifest themselves by a characteristic
peak in the I-V characteristics for tunneling between two
ferromagnets.Comment: 8 pages, Latex. accepted for publication in Phys.Rev.
Static solitons with non-zero Hopf number
We investigate a generalized non-linear O(3) -model in three space
dimensions where the fields are maps . Such maps are
classified by a homotopy invariant called the Hopf number which takes integer
values. The model exhibits soliton solutions of closed vortex type which have a
lower topological bound on their energies. We explicitly compute the fields for
topological charge 1 and 2 and discuss their shapes and binding energies. The
effect of an additional potential term is considered and an approximation is
given for the spectrum of slowly rotating solitons.Comment: 13 pages, RevTeX, 7 Postscript figures, minor changes have been made,

Sphaleron Effects Near the Critical Temperature
We discuss one-loop radiative corrections to the sphaleron-induced baryon
number-violating transition rate near the electroweak phase transition in the
standard model. We emphasize that in the case of a first-order transition a
rearrangement of the loop expansion is required close to the transition
temperature. The corresponding expansion parameter, the effective 3-dimensional
gauge coupling approaches a finite dependent value at the critical
temperature.
The
(Higgs mass) dependence of the 1-loop radiative corrections is discussed in
the framework of the heat kernel method. Radiative corrections are small
compared to the leading sphaleron contribution as long as the Higgs mass is
small compared to the W mass. To 1-loop accuracy, there is no Higgs mass range
compatible with experimental limits where washing-out of a B+L asymmetry could
be avoided for the minimal standard model with one Higgs doublet.Comment: 17 pages, RevTeX, (4 figures in a separate uuencoded file),
