Updates of effects on CP angles determination in B decays
The recently observed CP violation in B decay and -\ovar{B} mixing data
put constraints on the mass of and the parameters of the right-handed
current quark mixing matrix in gauge
model. It is shown that the allowed region of parameters are severely
restricted for light with mass on the order of 1 TeV. There exist sets of
parameters which can accommodate large CP violation as measured by Belle,
, for TeV.Comment: 11pages, 19 figures, LaTeX2
Lattice study on two-color QCD with six flavors of dynamical quarks
We study the dynamics of SU(2) gauge theory with NF=6 Dirac fermions by means
of lattice simulation to investigate if they are appropriate to realization of
electroweak symmetry breaking. The discrete analogue of beta function for the
running coupling constant defined under the Schroedinger functional boundary
condition are computed on the lattices up to linear size of L/a=24 and preclude
the existence of infrared fixed point below 7.6. Gluonic observables such as
heavy quark potential, string tension, Polyakov loop suggest that the target
system is in the confining phase even in the massless quark limit.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figures, Proceedings of The 30th International Symposium

Robust Standard Errors in Transformed Likelihood Estimation of Dynamic Panel Models
This paper extends the transformed maximum likelihood approach for estimation of dynamic panel data models by Hsiao, Pesaran, and Tahmiscioglu (2002) to the case where the errors are crosssectionally heteroskedastic. This extension is not trivial due to the incidental parameters problem that arises, and its implications for estimation and inference. We approach the problem by working with a mis-specified homoskedastic model. It is shown that the transformed maximum likelihood estimator continues to be consistent even in the presence of cross-sectional heteroskedasticity. We also obtain standard errors that are robust to cross-sectional heteroskedasticity of unknown form. By means of Monte Carlo simulation, we investigate the finite sample behavior of the transformed maximum likelihood estimator and compare it with various GMM estimators proposed in the literature. Simulation results reveal that, in terms of median absolute errors and accuracy of inference, the transformed likelihood estimator outperforms the GMM estimators in almost all cases
Self-organization of structures and networks from merging and small-scale fluctuations
We discuss merging-and-creation as a self-organizing process for scale-free
topologies in networks. Three power-law classes characterized by the power-law
exponents 3/2, 2 and 5/2 are identified and the process is generalized to
networks. In the network context the merging can be viewed as a consequence of
optimization related to more efficient signaling.Comment: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, In Pres
Tenth-order lepton g-2: Contribution from diagrams containing a sixth-order light-by-light-scattering subdiagram internally
This paper reports the result of our evaluation of the tenth-order QED
correction to the lepton g-2 from Feynman diagrams which have sixth-order
light-by-light-scattering subdiagrams, none of whose vertices couple to the
external magnetic field. The gauge-invariant set of these diagrams, called Set
II(e), consists of 180 vertex diagrams. In the case of the electron g-2 (a_e),
where the light-by-light subdiagram consists of the electron loop, the
contribution to a_e is found to be - 1.344 9 (10) (\alpha /\pi)^5. The
contribution of the muon loop to a_e is - 0.000 465 (4) (\alpha /\pi)^5. The
contribution of the tau-lepton loop is about two orders of magnitudes smaller
than that of the muon loop and hence negligible. The sum of all of these
contributions to a_e is - 1.345 (1) (\alpha /\pi)^5. We have also evaluated the
contribution of Set II(e) to the muon g-2 (a_\mu). The contribution to a_\mu
from the electron loop is 3.265 (12) (\alpha /\pi)^5, while the contribution of
the tau-lepton loop is -0.038 06 (13) (\alpha /\pi)^5. The total contribution
to a_\mu, which is the sum of these two contributions and the mass-independent
part of a_e, is 1.882 (13) (\alpha /\pi)^5.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures, REVTeX4, axodraw.sty used, changed title,
