Nonpropagation of massive mode on AdS2 in topologically massive gravity
Making use of Achucarro-Ortiz (AO) type of dimensional reduction, we study
the topologically massive gravity with a negative cosmological constant on AdS2
spacetimes. For a constant dilaton, this two-dimensional model also admits
three AdS2 vacuum solutions, which are related to two AdS3 and warped AdS3
backgrounds with an identification upon uplifting three dimensions. We carry
out the perturbation analysis around these backgrounds to find what is a
physically propagating field. However, it turns out that there is no
propagating massive mode on AdS2 background, in contrast to the Kaluza-Klein
(KK) type of dimensional reduction. We note that two dimensionally reduced
actions are different and thus, the non-equivalence of their on-shell
amplitudes is obtained.Comment: 19 pages, version to appear in EPJ
Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy in BaRuO systems
We investigated the temperature-dependence of the Raman spectra of a
nine-layer BaRuO single crystal and a four-layer BaRuO epitaxial film,
which show pseudogap formations in their metallic states. From the polarized
and depolarized spectra, the observed phonon modes are assigned properly
according to the predictions of group theory analysis. In both compounds, with
decreasing temperature, while modes show a strong hardening, (or
) modes experience a softening or no significant shift. Their different
temperature-dependent behaviors could be related to a direct Ru metal-bonding
through the face-sharing of RuO. It is also observed that another
mode of the oxygen participating in the face-sharing becomes split at low
temperatures in the four layer BaRuO. And, the temperature-dependence of
the Raman continua between 250 600 cm is strongly correlated to
the square of the plasma frequency. Our observations imply that there should be
a structural instability in the face-shared structure, which could be closely
related to the pseudogap formation of BaRuO systems.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures. to be published in Phys. Rev.

Z^* Resonances: Phenomenology and Models
We explore the phenomenology of, and models for, the Z^* resonances, the
lowest of which is now well established, and called the Theta. We provide an
overview of three models which have been proposed to explain its existence
and/or its small width, and point out other relevant predictions, and potential
problems, for each. The relation to what is known about KN scattering,
including possible resonance signals in other channels, is also discussed.Comment: 29 pages, uses RevTeX4; expanded version (published form
Spin-dependent (magneto)transport through a ring due to spin-orbit interaction
Electron transport through a one-dimensional ring connected with two external
leads, in the presence of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of strength \alpha and a
perpendicular magnetic field is studied. Applying Griffith's boundary
conditions we derive analytic expressions for the reflection and transmission
coefficients of the corresponding one-electron scattering problem. We
generalize earlier conductance results by Nitta et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 75,
695 (1999)] and investigate the influence of \alpha, temperature, and a weak
magnetic field on the conductance. Varying \alpha and temperature changes the
position of the minima and maxima of the magnetic-field dependent conductance,
and it may even convert a maximum into a minimum and vice versa.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figure
Hawking Temperature in Taub-NUT (A)dS spaces via the Generalized Uncertainty Principle
Using the extended forms of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle from string
theory and the quantum gravity theory, we drived Hawking temperature of a
Taub-Nut-(A)dS black hole. In spite of their distinctive natures such as
asymptotically locally flat and breakdown of the area theorem of the horizon
for the black holes, we show that the corrections to Hawking temperature by the
generalized versions of the the Heisenberg uncertainty principle increases like
the Schwarzschild-(A)dS black hole and give the reason why the Taub-Nut-(A)dS
metric may have AdS/CFT dual picture.Comment: version published in General Relativity and Gravitatio
Two charged strangeonium-like structures observable in the process
Via the Initial Single Pion Emission (ISPE) mechanism, we study the
invariant mass spectrum distribution of . Our calculation indicates there exist a sharp peak
structure () close to the threshold and a broad
structure () near the threshold. In addition, we
also investigate the process due to
the ISPE mechanism, where a sharp peak around the threshold
appears in the invariant mass spectrum distribution. We
suggest to carry out the search for these charged strangeonium-like structures
in future experiment, especially Belle II, Super-B and BESIII.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures. Accepted by Eur. Phys. J.
Long-distant contribution and radiative decays to light vector meson
The discrepancy between the PQCD calculation and the CLEO data for
() stimulates our interest in
exploring extra mechanism of decay. In this work, we apply an
important non-perturbative QCD effect, i.e., hadronic loop mechanism, to study
radiative decay. Our numerical result shows that the
theoretical results including the hadronic loop contribution and the PQCD
calculation of are consistent with the corresponding
CLEO data of . We expect further experimental
measurement of at BES-III, which will be helpful to
test the hadronic loop effect on decay.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures. Accepted for publication in Eur. Phys. J.
Layered ferromagnet-superconductor structures: the state and proximity effects
We investigate clean mutilayered structures of the SFS and SFSFS type, (where
the S layer is intrinsically superconducting and the F layer is ferromagnetic)
through numerical solution of the self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes
equations for these systems. We obtain results for the pair amplitude, the
local density of states, and the local magnetic moment. We find that as a
function of the thickness of the magnetic layers separating adjacent
superconductors, the ground state energy varies periodically between two stable
states. The first state is an ordinary "0-state", in which the order parameter
has a phase difference of zero between consecutive S layers, and the second is
a "-state", where the sign alternates, corresponding to a phase difference
of between adjacent S layers. This behavior can be understood from simple
arguments. The density of states and the local magnetic moment reflect also
this periodicity.Comment: 12 pages, 10 Figure
Light-Front Approach for Pentaquark Strong Decays
Assuming the two diquark structure for the pentaquark state as advocated in
the Jaffe-Wilczek model, we study the strong decays of light and heavy
parity-even pentaquark states using the light-front quark model in conjunction
with the spectator approximation. The narrowness of the Theta width is ascribed
to the p-wave configuration of the diquark pair. Taking the Theta width as a
benchmark, we estimate the rates of the strong decays Xi_{3/2}-- to Xi- pi-,
Sigma- K-, Sigma_{5c}0 to D_s- p, D_{s0}*- p and Xi_{5c}0 to D_s- Sigma+,
D_{s0}^{*-} Sigma+ with Sigma_{5c} Xi_{5c} being antisextet charmed pentaquarks
and D_{s0}* a scalar strange charmed meson. The ratio of Gamma(P_c to Baryon
D_{s0}*)/Gamma(P_c to Baryon D_s) is very useful for verifying the parity of
the antisextet charmed pentaquark P_c. It is expected to be of order unity for
an even parity P_c and much less than one for an odd parity pentaquark.Comment: 24 pages, 2 figure
