    Application of a coordinate space method for the evaluation of lattice Feynman diagrams in two dimensions

    Full text link
    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 G(x)G(x) 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 detail and correcting a few typo

    Gravitational radiation from highly magnetized nascent neutron stars in supernova remnants

    Get PDF
    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

    Full text link
    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 modified, main results unchanged. v4: published version in Prog.

    The ~U(12)-Classification Scheme, Static U(4)-Spin Symmetry for Light-Quarks and "Exotic" Hadrons

    Full text link
    Several years ago we have proposed a manifestly covariant U~(12)SF\tilde{U}(12)_{SF}-classification scheme of hadrons, which maintains the successful SU(6)SFO(3)LSU(6)_{SF}\otimes O(3)_{L} 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 SU(2)ρSU(2)_{\rho}-spin for (confined) light quarks, which leads to existence of new type of ``exotic'' hadrons, called ``chiralons'' and to a selection rule, ρ3\rho_{3}-line rule, on the spectator quark line. A series of puzzling new hadrons recently observed such as X(3872)-meson family and Θ(1540)\Theta (1540) and so on are possibly classified mostly as chiralons.Comment: Nov 2005. 5pp. To appear in the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Hadron Spectroscopy (Hadron05), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 21-26 Aug 200
