Generation of Magnetic Field in the Pre-recombination Era
We study the possibility of generating magnetic fields during the evolution
of electron, proton, and photon plasma in the pre-recombination era. We show
that a small magnetic field can be generated in the second order of
perturbation theory for scalar modes with adiabatic initial conditions. The
amplitude of the field is \la 10^{-30} \rm G at the present epoch for scales
from sub-kpc to \ga 100 \rm Mpc.Comment: 8 page
On the Clustering of GRBs on the Sky
The two-point correlation of the 4th (current) BATSE catalog (2494 objects)
is calculated. It is shown to be consistent with zero at nearly all angular
scales of interest. Assuming that GRBs trace the large scale structure in the
universe we calculate the angular correlation function for the standard CDM
(sCDM) model. It is shown to be at if the
BATSE catalog is assumed to be a volume-limited sample up to .
Combined with the error analysis on the BATSE catalog this suggests that nearly
GRBs will be needed to make a positive detection of the two-point
angular correlation function at this angular scale.Comment: 5 pages, Latex with aipproc.sty, incl. 1 ps-Fig., Proc. of the 5th

Mirror Symmetry of Calabi-Yau Supermanifolds
We study super Landau-Ginzburg mirrors of the weighted projective superspace
WCP^{3|2} which is a Calabi-Yau supermanifold and appeared in
hep-th/0312171(Witten) in the topological B-model. One of them is an elliptic
fibration over the complex plane whose coordinate is given in terms of two
bosonic and two fermionic variables as well as Kahler parameter of WCP^{3|2}.
The other is some patch of a degree 3 Calabi-Yau hypersurface in CP^2 fibered
by the complex plane whose coordinate depends on both above four variables and
Kahler parameter but its dependence behaves quite differently.Comment: 12pp; the last paragraph of section 1 improved and some

Bichromatically driven double well: parametric perspective of the strong-field control landscape reveals the influence of chaotic states
The aim of this work is to understand the influence of chaotic states in
control problems involving strong fields. Towards this end, we numerically
construct and study the strong field control landscape of a bichromatically
driven double well. A novel measure based on correlating the overlap
intensities between Floquet states and an initial phase space coherent state
with the parametric motion of the quasienergies is used to construct and
interpret the landscape features. "Walls" of no control, robust under
variations of the relative phase between the fields, are seen on the control
landscape and associated with multilevel interactions involving chaotic Floquet
states.Comment: 9 pages and 6 figures. Rewritten and expanded version of
