CP-Violation in B_{q} Decays and Final State Strong Phases

Using the unitarity, SU(2) and $C$-invariance of hadronic interactions, the bounds on final state phases are derived. It is shown that values obtained for the final state phases relevant for the direct CP-asymmetries $A_{CP}(B^{0}\to K^{+}\pi ^{-},K^{0}\pi ^{0})$ are compatiable with experimental values for these asymmetries. For the decays $B^{0}\to D^{(\ast)-}\pi ^{+}$ $(D^{(\ast)+}\pi ^{-})$ described by two independent single amplitudes $A_{f}$ and $A_{\bar{f}}^{\prime}$ with differnt weak phases (0 and $\gamma$) it is argued that the $C$-invariance of hadronic interactions implies the equality of the final state phase $\delta_{f}$ and $\delta_{\bar{f}}^{\prime}$. This in turn implies, the CP-asymmetry $$ is determined by weak phase ($2\beta +\gamma)$ only whereas $\frac{S_{+}-S_{-}}{2}=0.$ Assuming factorization for tree graphs, it is shown that the $B\to D^{(\ast)}$ form factors are in excellent agreement with heavy quark effective theory. From the experimental value for $(\frac{S_{+}+S_{-}}{2})_{D^{\ast}\pi},$ the bound $\sin (2\beta +\gamma)\geq 0.69$ is obtained and (\frac{S_{+}+S_{-}}{2%}) _{D_{S}^{\ast -}K^{+}}\approx -(0.41\pm 0.08)\sin \gamma is predicted. For the decays described by the amplitudes $A_{f}\neq A_{\bar{f}}$ such as $B^{0}\longrightarrow \rho ^{+}\pi ^{-}:$ $A_{\bar{f}}$ and $B^{0}\longrightarrow \rho ^{-}\pi ^{+}:A_{f}$ where these amplitudes are given by tree and penguin diagrams with differnt weak phases, it is shown that in the limit $\delta_{f,\bar{f}}^{T}\to 0,r_{f,\bar{f}}\cos \delta_{f,\bar{f}}=\cos \alpha$ and $\frac{S_{\bar{f}}}{S_{f}}=\frac{S}=-\frac{\sqrt{1-C_{\bar{f}}^{2}}}{\sqrt{1-C_{f}^{2}}}$Comment: 20 Pages, 1 Figure, Appeared in PR

Exact Ground State Wave Functions for N Anyons in a Magnetic Field on a Torus

The complete set of ground state wave functions for N anyons in an external magnetic field on the torus is found. The cases when the filling factor is less than or equal to one are considered. The single valued description of anyons is employed through out by coupling bosons to a Chern-Simons field. At the end, the Chern-Simons interaction is removed by a singular gauge transformation as a result of which the wave functions become multi-component in agreement with other studies.Comment: 10 pages, Latex document, USITP-93-0
