Amplification of Quantum Meson Modes in the Late Time of Chiral Phase Transition
It is shown that there exists a possibility of amplification of amplitudes of
quantum pion modes with low momenta in the late time of chiral phase transition
by using the Gaussian wave functional approximation in the O(4) linear sigma
model. It is also shown that the amplification occurs in the mechanism of the
resonance by forced oscillation as well as the parametric resonance induced by
the small oscillation of the chiral condensate. These mechanisms are
investigated in both the case of spatially homogeneous system and the spatially
expanded system described by the Bjorken coordinate.Comment: 17 pages, 16 figure
Novel Lifshitz point for chiral transition in the magnetic field
Based on the generalized Ginzburg-Landau theory, chiral phase transition is
discussed in the presence of magnetic field. Considering the chiral density
wave we show chiral anomaly gives rise to an inhomogeneous chiral phase for
nonzero quark-number chemical potential. Novel Lifshitz point appears on the
vanishing chemical potential line, which may be directly explored by the
lattice QCD simulation.Comment: 4pages,2figure
A new description of motion of the Fermionic SO(2N+2) top in the classical limit under the quasi-anticommutation relation approximation
The boson images of fermion SO(2N+1) Lie operators have been given together
with those of SO(2N+2) ones. The SO(2N+1) Lie operators are generators of
rotation in the (2N+1)-dimensional Euclidian space (N: number of
single-particle states of the fermions). The images of fermion
annihilation-creation operators must satisfy the canonical anti-commutation
relations, when they operate on a spinor subspace. In the regular
representation space we use a boson Hamiltonian with Lagrange multipliers to
select out the spinor subspace. Based on these facts, a new description of a
fermionic SO(2N+2) top is proposed. From the Heisenberg equations of motions
for the boson operators, we get the SO(2N+1) self-consistent field (SCF)
Hartree-Bogoliubov (HB) equation for the classical stationary motion of the
fermion top. Decomposing an SO(2N+1) matrix into matrices describing paired and
unpaired modes of fermions, we obtain a new form of the SO(2N+1) SCF equation
with respect to the paired-mode amplitudes. To demonstrate the effectiveness of
the new description based on the bosonization theory, the extended HB
eigenvalue equation is applied to a superconducting toy-model which consists of
a particle-hole plus BCS type interaction. It is solved to reach an interesting
and exciting solution which is not found in the traditional HB eigenvalue
equation, due to the unpaired-mode effects. To complete the new description,
the Lagrange multipliers must be determined in the classical limit. For this
aim a quasi anti-commutation-relation approximation is proposed. Only if a
certain relation between an SO(2N+1) parameter z and the N is satisfied,
unknown parameters k and l in the Lagrange multipliers can be determined
withuout any inconcistency.Comment: 36 pages, no figures, typos corrected, published versio
Magnetic ordering and fluctuation in kagome lattice antiferromagnets, Fe and Cr jarosites
Jarosite family compounds, KFe_3(OH)_6(SO_4)_2, (abbreviate Fe jarosite), and
KCr_3(OH)_6(SO_4)_2, (Cr jarosite), are typical examples of the Heisenberg
antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice and have been investigated by means of
magnetization and NMR experiments. The susceptibility of Cr jarosite deviates
from Curie-Weiss law due to the short-range spin correlation below about 150 K
and shows the magnetic transition at 4.2 K, while Fe jarosite has the
transition at 65 K. The susceptibility data fit well with the calculated one on
the high temperature expansion for the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome
lattice. The values of exchange interaction of Cr jarosite and Fe jarosite are
derived to be J_Cr = 4.9 K and J_Fe = 23 K, respectively. The 1H-NMR spectra of
Fe jarosite suggest that the ordered spin structure is the q = 0 type with
positive chirality of the 120 degrees configuration. The transition is caused
by a weak single-ion type anisotropy. The spin-lattice relaxation rate, 1/T_1,
of Fe jarosite in the ordered phase decreases sharply with lowering the
temperature and can be well explained by the two-magnon process of spin wave
with the anisotropy.Comment: REVTeX, 14 pages with 5 figures. Submitted to Canadian Journal of

Haldane Gap and Hidden Order in the S=2 Antiferromagnetic Quantum Spin Chain
We have investigated Haldane's conjecture for the S=2 isotropic
antiferromagnetic quantum spin chain with nearest-neighbor exchange J. Using a
density matrix renormalization group algorithm for chains up to L=350 spins, we
find in the thermodynamic limit a finite spin gap of Delta = 0.085(5)J and a
finite spin-spin correlation length xi = 49(1) lattice spacings. We establish
the ground state energy per bond to be E_0=-4.761248(1)J. We show that the
ground state has a hidden topological order that is revealed in a nonlocal
string correlation function. This means that the physics of the S=2 chain can
be captured by a valence-bond solid description. We also observe effective free
spin-1 states at the ends of an open S=2 chain.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX 2.09, 3 PostScript figure
A Note on the Eigenvalue Problem in the su(1,1)-Algebra
Normalization constant in the eigenstate appearing in the eigenvalue problem
of the su(1,1)-algebra is discussed. This normalization constant is expressed
in terms of the Gauss' hypergeometric series which is not absolutely
convergent. It is proved that this series is obtained as a certain limit of an
absolutely convergent series, which was conjectured in the previous paper.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
On the Eigenvalue Problem of the su(1,1)-Algebra and the Coupling Scheme of Two su(1,1)-Spins
After recapitulating the eigenvalue problem of the su(1,1)-algebra in the
conventional form, the same problem is treated in an unconventional form, in
which the eigenvalue is pure imaginary. Further, the coupling scheme of two
su(1,1)-spins is discussed in the framework of two possibilities, in which
certain new aspects appear. Finally, the coupling scheme developed in this
paper is applied to a concrete example, which will serve boson realization of
the so(4)- and the so(3,1)-algebra presented in the next paper.Comment: 19 pages, No figur
Fluctuation effects in the theory of microphase separation of diblock copolymers in the presence of an electric field
We generalize the Fredrickson-Helfand theory of the microphase separation in
symmetric diblock copolymer melts by taking into account the influence of a
time-independent homogeneous electric field on the composition fluctuations
within the self-consistent Hartree approximation. We predict that electric
fields suppress composition fluctuations, and consequently weaken the
first-order transition. In the presence of an electric field the critical
temperature of the order-disorder transition is shifted towards its mean-field
value. The collective structure factor in the disordered phase becomes
anisotropic in the presence of the electric field. Fluctuational modulations of
the order parameter along the field direction are strongest suppressed. The
latter is in accordance with the parallel orientation of the lamellae in the
ordered state.Comment: 16 page
Comment on ``Density Matrix Renormalization Group Study of the Haldane Phase in Random One-Dimensional Antiferromagnets"
In a recent Letter (PRL 83, 3297 (1999)), Hida presented numerical results
indicating that the Haldane phase of the Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin-1
chain is stable against bond randomness, for box distributions of the bond
strength, even when the box distribution stretches to zero bond strength. The
author thus concluded that the Haldane phase is stable against bond randomness
for any distribution of the bond strength, no matter how broad. In this
Comment, we (i) point out that the randomness distributions studied in this
Letter do not represent the broadest possible distributions, and therefore
these numerical results do not lead to the conclusion that the Haldane phase is
stable against any randomness; and (ii) provide a semiquantitative estimate of
the critical randomness beyond which the Haldane phase yields to the Random
Singlet phase, in a specific class of random distribution functions for the
bond strength.Comment: A comment on PRL 83, 3297 (1999). One pag
