Note on Coherent States and Adiabatic Connections, Curvatures
We give a possible generalization to the example in the paper of Zanardi and
Rasetti (quant-ph/9904011). For this generalized one explicit forms of
adiabatic connection, curvature and etc. are given.Comment: Latex file, 12 page
Survival Rates of Planets in Open Clusters: the Pleiades, Hyades, and Praesepe clusters
In clustered environments, stellar encounters can liberate planets from their
host stars via close encounters. Although the detection probability of planets
suggests that the planet population in open clusters resembles that in the
field, only a few dozen planet-hosting stars have been discovered in open
clusters. We explore the survival rates of planets against stellar encounters
in open clusters similar to the Pleiades, Hyades, and Praesepe and embedded
clusters. We performed a series of N-body simulations of high-density and
low-density open clusters, open clusters that grow via mergers of subclusters,
and embedded clusters. We semi-analytically calculated the survival rate of
planets in star clusters up to 1Gyr using relative velocities, masses, and
impact parameters of intruding stars. Less than 1.5% of close-in planets within
1 AU and at most 7% of planets with 1-10 AU are ejected by stellar encounters
in clustered environments after the dynamical evolution of star clusters. If a
planet population from 0.01-100 AU in an open cluster initially follows the
probability distribution function of exoplanets with semi-major axis ()
between 0.03-3 AU in the field discovered by RV surveys, the PDF of surviving
planets beyond ~10 AU in open clusters can be slightly modified to . The production rate of free-floating planets (FFPs) per star is
0.0096-0.18, where we have assumed that all the stars initially have one giant
planet with a mass of 1--13 MJ in a circular orbit. The expected frequency of
FFPs is compatible with the upper limit on that of FFPs indicated by recent
microlensing surveys. Our survival rates of planets in open clusters suggest
that planets within 10 AU around FGKM-type stars are rich in relatively-young
(<~10-100 Myr for open clusters and ~1-10 Myr for embedded clusters), less
massive open clusters, which are promising targets for planet searches.Comment: 23 pages, 15 figures, A&A accepte
The unitary-model-operator approach to nuclear many-body problems
Microscopic nuclear structure calculations have been performed within the
framework of the unitary-model-operator approach. Ground-state and
single-particle energies are calculated for nuclei around ^{14}C, ^{16}O and
^{40}Ca with modern nucleon-nucleon interactions.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, Talk presented at the International Symposium on

Pull-out fibers from composite materials at high rate of loading
Numerical and experimental results are presented on the pullout phenomenon in composite materials at a high rate of loading. The finite element method was used, taking into account the existence of a virtual shear deformation layer as the interface between fiber and matrix. Experimental results agree well with those obtained by the finite element method. Numerical results show that the interlaminar shear stress is time dependent, in addition, it is shown to depend on the applied load time history. Under step pulse loading, the interlaminar shear stress fluctuates, finally decaying to its value under static loading
Shell structures in oxygen isotopes described with modern nucleon-nucleon interactions
Shell structures in the N\simeq Z nucleus ^{17}O and the neutron-rich oxygen
isotopes ^{23}O and ^{25}O are microscopically described by calculating
single-particle energies with modern nucleon-nucleon interactions within the
framework of the unitary-model-operator approach. It is found that the effect
of three-body cluster terms on the single-particle energy is more important in
^{23}O and ^{25}O than ^{17}O.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, Talk at the International Symposium on "A New Era
