Application of a coordinate space method for the evaluation of lattice Feynman diagrams in two dimensions
We apply a new coordinate space method for the evaluation of lattice Feynman
diagrams suggested by L\"uscher and Weisz to field theories in two dimensions.
Our work is to be presented for the theories with massless propagators. The
main idea is to deal with the integrals in position space by making use of the
recursion relation for the free propagator which allows to compute the
propagator recursively by its values around origin. It turns out that the
method is very efficient and gives very precise results. We illustrate the
technique by evaluating a number of two- and three-loop diagrams explicitly.Comment: 25 pages, Latex, 2 figures, revised by discussing some points in more

Gravitational radiation from highly magnetized nascent neutron stars in supernova remnants
We consider the spin evolution of highly magnetized neutron stars in a
hypercritical inflow just after their birth in supernovae. Presence of a strong
magnetic field could deform the star and if the symmetry axis of the field is
misaligned with that of stellar rotation, the star will be an emitter of
gravitational wave. Here we investigate the possibility of gravitational
radiation from such a star when there is a hypercritical inflow onto it. The
stellar configuration is slightly deformed away from spherical by the intense
magnetic field; the rotational angular frequency of the star is determined by
the balance between the accretion torque and the magnetic dipole radiation. An
estimation of the characteristic amplitude of the gravitational radiation from
such systems is given. (abridged abstract)Comment: 5pages. To appear in MNRA
Decay Rates of Fixed Planes and Closed-string Tachyons on Unstable Orbifolds
We consider closed-string tachyon condensation in the twisted sectors on the
C/Z_{2n+1} \times R^{7,1} orbifold. We calculate the localized energy density
in the fixed plane on the orbifold at the one-loop level, and we obtain the
decay rate per unit volume of the fixed plane to leading order. We show that
the decay rate increases monotonically as a function of n.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX. v2: typos corrected. v3: section 5 is

The ~U(12)-Classification Scheme, Static U(4)-Spin Symmetry for Light-Quarks and "Exotic" Hadrons
Several years ago we have proposed a manifestly covariant
-classification scheme of hadrons, which maintains the
successful framework in Non-Relativistic Quark
Model and is also reconcilable with the mechanism of Spontaneously-Broken
Chiral Symmetry in Relativistic Field Theoretical Models. The essential point
here is to notice the overlooked freedom of the -spin for
(confined) light quarks, which leads to existence of new type of ``exotic''
hadrons, called ``chiralons'' and to a selection rule, -line rule, on
the spectator quark line. A series of puzzling new hadrons recently observed
such as X(3872)-meson family and and so on are possibly
classified mostly as chiralons.Comment: Nov 2005. 5pp. To appear in the proceedings of the 11th International
