    Correction to the Chiral Magnetic Effect from axial-vector interaction

    Full text link
    The recent lattice calculation at finite axial chemical potential suggests that the induced current density of the chiral magnetic effect (CME) is somehow suppressed comparing with the standard analytical formula. We show in a NJL-type model of QCD that such a suppression is a natural result when considering the influence of the attractive axial-vector interaction. We point out that the lattice result doesn't need to be quantitatively consistent with the analytical formula due to the chirality density-density correlation. We also investigate the nonperturbative effect of instanton molecules on the CME. Since an unconventional repulsive axial-vector interaction is induced, the CME will be enhanced significantly by the instanton-anti-instanton pairings. Such a prediction needs to be tested by more improved lattice simulations. We further demonstrate that the axial-vector interaction plays an important role on the Tβˆ’ΞΌAT-\mu_A phase diagram.Comment: 9 pages,5 figures, references added, some comments modified.

    Perturbations of the Yang-Mills field in the universe

    Full text link
    It has been suggested that the Yang-Mills (YM) field can be a kind of candidate for the inflationary field at high energy scales or the dark energy at very low energy scales, which can naturally give the equation of state βˆ’1<Ο‰<0-1<\omega<0 or Ο‰<βˆ’1\omega<-1. We discuss the zero order and first order Einstein equations and YM field kinetic energy equations of the free YM field models. From the zero order equations, we find that Ο‰+1∝aβˆ’2\omega+1\propto a^{-2}, from which it follows that the equation of state of YM field always goes to -1, independent of the initial conditions. By solving the first order Einstein equations and YM field equations, we find that in the YM field inflationary models, the scale-invariant primordial perturbation power spectrum cannot be generated. Therefore, only this kind of YM field is not enough to account for inflationary sources. However, as a kind of candidate of dark energy, the YM field has the `sound speed' cs2=βˆ’1/3<0c_s^2=-1/3<0, which makes the perturbation Ο•\phi have a damping behavior at the large scale. This provides a way to distinguish the YM field dark energy models from other kinds of models.Comment: 5 pages, no figur

    In this paper, we establish the Freidlin-Wentzell's large deviations for quasilinear parabolic stochastic partial differential equations with multiplicative noise, which are neither monotone nor locally monotone. The proof is based on the weak convergence approach

    Periodic Solutions for Circular Restricted 4-body Problems with Newtonian Potentials

    Full text link
    We study the existence of non-collision periodic solutions with Newtonian potentials for the following planar restricted 4-body problems: Assume that the given positive masses m1,m2,m3m_{1},m_{2},m_{3} in a Lagrange configuration move in circular obits around their center of masses, the sufficiently small mass moves around some body. Using variational minimizing methods, we prove the existence of minimizers for the Lagrangian action on anti-T/2 symmetric loop spaces. Moreover, we prove the minimizers are non-collision periodic solutions with some fixed wingding numbers
