Double inflation in supergravity and the primordial black hole formation
We study a double inflation model (a hybrid inflation + a new inflation) in
supergravity and discuss the formation of primordial black holes (PBHs) with
mass \sim 10^{-20}-10^{5}M_{\odot}. We find that in a wide range of parameter
space, we obtain PBHs which amount to \Omega \simeq 1, i.e., PBH dark matter.
Also, we find a set of inflation parameters which produces PBHs evaporating
now. Those PBHs may be responsible for antiproton fluxes observed by the BESS
experiment.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures (RevTeX file
Single-spin asymmetries in the leptoproduction of transversely polarized hyperons
We analyze single-spin asymmetries (SSAs) in the leptoproduction of
transversely polarized hyperons within the collinear twist-3
formalism. We calculate both the distribution and fragmentation terms in two
different gauges (lightcone and Feynman) and show that the results are
identical. This is the first time that the fragmentation piece has been
analyzed for transversely polarized hadron production within the collinear
twist-3 framework. In lightcone gauge we use the same techniques that were
employed in computing the analogous piece in , which
has become an important part to that reaction. With this in mind, we also
verify the gauge invariance of the formulas for the transverse SSA in the
leptoproduction of pions.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, reference added, version to appear in Phys. Lett.
Longitudinal-transverse double-spin asymmetries in single-inclusive leptoproduction of hadrons
We analyze the longitudinal-transverse double-spin asymmetry in
lepton-nucleon collisions where a single hadron is detected in the final state,
i.e., . This is a subleading-twist
observable in collinear factorization, and we look at twist-3 effects in both
the transversely polarized nucleon and the unpolarized outgoing hadron. Results
are anticipated for this asymmetry from both HERMES and Jefferson Lab Hall A,
and it could be measured as well at COMPASS and a future Electron-Ion Collider.
We also perform a numerical study of the distribution term, which, when
compared to upcoming experimental results, could allow one to learn about the
"worm-gear"-type function as well as assess the role of
quark-gluon-quark correlations in the initial-state nucleon and twist-3 effects
in the fragmenting unpolarized hadron.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures, minor changes to the text, version to appear in

A small and light weight heat exchanger for on-board helium refrigerator
A small and light weight heat exchanger used for small helium refrigerator has been developed by Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. This heat exchanger is a laminated metal heat exchanger which consists of perforated aluminum metal plates and glassfiber reinforced plastic separators. The size is from 100 mm to 28 mm in diameter and about 300 mm in length. The weight is from 2.5 kg to 0.6 kg. Also it can be used between room temperature and liquid helium temperature. The thermal efficiency obtained has been more than 96%. The heat exchanger has been practically used for on-board helium refrigerator in Japanese National Railways' superconducting magnetic levitated trains
Random matrix theory of unquenched two-colour QCD with nonzero chemical potential
We solve a random two-matrix model with two real asymmetric matrices whose
primary purpose is to describe certain aspects of quantum chromodynamics with
two colours and dynamical fermions at nonzero quark chemical potential mu. In
this symmetry class the determinant of the Dirac operator is real but not
necessarily positive. Despite this sign problem the unquenched matrix model
remains completely solvable and provides detailed predictions for the Dirac
operator spectrum in two different physical scenarios/limits: (i) the
epsilon-regime of chiral perturbation theory at small mu, where mu^2 multiplied
by the volume remains fixed in the infinite-volume limit and (ii) the
high-density regime where a BCS gap is formed and mu is unscaled. We give
explicit examples for the complex, real, and imaginary eigenvalue densities
including Nf=2 non-degenerate flavours. Whilst the limit of two degenerate
masses has no sign problem and can be tested with standard lattice techniques,
we analyse the severity of the sign problem for non-degenerate masses as a
function of the mass split and of mu.
On the mathematical side our new results include an analytical formula for
the spectral density of real Wishart eigenvalues in the limit (i) of weak
non-Hermiticity, thus completing the previous solution of the corresponding
quenched model of two real asymmetric Wishart matrices.Comment: 45 pages, 31 figures; references added, as published in JHE
Twist-2 Generalized TMDs and the Spin/Orbital Structure of the Nucleon
Generalized transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions (GTMDs) encode
the most general parton structure of hadrons. Here we focus on two twist-2
GTMDs which are denoted by and in parts of the literature.
As already shown previously, both GTMDs have a close relation to orbital
angular momentum of partons inside a hadron. However, recently even the mere
existence of and has been doubted. We explain why this
claim does not hold. We support our model-independent considerations by
calculating the two GTMDs in the scalar diquark model and in the quark-target
model, where we also explicitly check the relation to orbital angular momentum.
In addition, we compute and at large transverse momentum in
perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics and show that they are nonzero.Comment: 29 pages, 6 figures; two clarifications and a reference added;

Monoid automata for displacement context-free languages
In 2007 Kambites presented an algebraic interpretation of
Chomsky-Schutzenberger theorem for context-free languages. We give an
interpretation of the corresponding theorem for the class of displacement
context-free languages which are equivalent to well-nested multiple
context-free languages. We also obtain a characterization of k-displacement
context-free languages in terms of monoid automata and show how such automata
can be simulated on two stacks. We introduce the simultaneous two-stack
automata and compare different variants of its definition. All the definitions
considered are shown to be equivalent basing on the geometric interpretation of
memory operations of these automata.Comment: Revised version for ESSLLI Student Session 2013 selected paper
