    Dual versions of N=2 supergravity and spontaneous supersymmetry breaking

    Full text link
    In this paper, using a model of N=2 supergravity - vector multiplets interaction with the scalar field geometry SU(1,m)/SU(m)U(1)SU(1,m)/SU(m)\otimes U(1) as an example, we show that even when the geometry is fixed one can have a whole family of the Lagrangians that differ by the vector field duality transformations. As a byproduct, for this geometry we have constructed a model of (m-1) vector multiplets interacting with the hidden sector admitting spontaneous supersymmetry breaking with two arbitrary scales and without a cosmological term.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, IHEP preprint 94-9

    On Wilson Criterion

    Full text link
    U(1) gauge theory with the Villain action on a cubic lattice approximation of three- and four-dimensional torus is considered. The naturally chosen correlation functions converge to the correlation functions of the R-gauge electrodynamics on three- and four-dimensional torus as the lattice spacing approaches zero only for the special scaling. This special scaling depends on a choice of a correlation function system. Another scalings give the degenerate continuum limits. The Wilson criterion for the confinement is ambiguous. The asymptotics of the smeared Wilson loop integral for the large loop perimeters is defined by the density of the loop smearing over a torus which is transversal to the loop plane. When the initial torus radius tends to infinity the correlation functions converge to the correlation functions of the R-gauge Euclidean electrodynamics.Comment: latex, 6 page

    Interaction of instantons in a gauge theory forcing their identical orientation

    Full text link
    A gauge theory model in which there exists a specific interaction between instantons is considered. An effective action describing this interaction possesses a minimum when the instantons have identical orientation. The considered interaction might provide a phase transition into the state where instantons have a preferred orientation. This phase of the gauge-field theory is important because it can give the description of gravity in the framework of the gauge theory.Comment: 8 pages, Revte

    The nuclear electric polarizability of 6He

    Full text link
    We present an estimate of the nuclear electric polarizability of the 6He halo nucleus based on six-body microscopic calculations. Wave functions are obtained from semi-realistic two-body interactions using the hyperspherical harmonics expansion method. The polarizability is calculated as a sum rule of the dipole response function using the Lanczos algorithm and also by integrating the photo-absorption cross section calculated via the Lorentz integral transform method. We obtain alpha_E=1.00(14) fm^3, which is much smaller than the published value 1.99(40) fm^3 extracted from experimental data. This points towards a potential disagreement between microscopic theories and experimental observations.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, minor changes, added error analysi

    Experimental observation of the longitudinal plasma excitation in intrinsic Josephson junctions

    Full text link
    We have investigated the current-voltage characteristics (IVCs) of intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs). Recently, it is predicted that the longitudinal plasma wave can be excited by the parametric resonance in IJJs. Such an excitation induces a singularity called as breakpoint region around switch back region in the IVC. We have succeeded in the observation of the breakpoint region in the IVC of the mesa with 5 IJJs at 4.2 K. Furthermore, it is found that the temperature dependence of the breakpoint current is in agreement with the theoretical prediction. This suggests that the wave number of the excited plasma wave varies with temperature.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures. Dubna-Nano2008, Accepted for JPCS

    On the problem of catastrophic relaxation in superfluid 3-He-B

    Full text link
    In this Letter we discussed the parametric instability of texture of homogeneous (in time) spin precession, explaining how spatial inhomogeneity of the texture may change the threshold of the instability in comparison with idealized spatial homogeneous case, considered in our JETP Letter \textbf{83}, 530 (2006), cond-mat/0605386. This discussion is inspired by critical Comment of I.A. Fomin (cond-mat/0606760) related to the above questions. In addition we considered here results of direct numerical simulations of the full Leggett-Takagi equation of motion for magnetization in superfluid 3He-B and experimental data for magnetic field dependence of the catastrophic relaxation, that provide solid support of the theory of this phenomenon, presented in our 2006 JETP Letter.Comment: 5 pages, 1 fig. included, JETP Lett. style, submitted to JETP Lett. as response to Comment cond-mat/060676

    Direct photon spectrum and elliptic flow produced from Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=2.76\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider within an integrated hydrokinetic model

    The photon transverse momentum spectrum and its anisotropy from Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider energy sNN=2.76\sqrt {s_{NN}}=2.76 TeV are investigated within the integrated hydrokinetic model (iHKM). Photon production is accumulated from the different processes at the various stages of relativistic heavy ion collisions: from the primary hard photons of very early stage of parton collisions to the thermal photons from equilibrated quark-gluon and hadron gas stages. Along the way a hadronic medium evolution is treated in two distinct, in a sense opposite, approaches: chemically equilibrated and chemically frozen system expansion. Studying the centrality dependence of the results obtained allows us to conclude that a relatively strong transverse momentum anisotropy of thermal radiation is suppressed by prompt photon emission which is an isotropic. We find out that this effect is getting stronger as centrality increases because of the simultaneous increase in the relative contribution of prompt photons in the soft part of the spectra. The substantial results obtained in iHKM with nonzero viscosity (η/s=0.08\eta/s=0.08) for photon spectra and v2v_2 coefficients are mostly within the error bars of experimental data, but there is some systematic underestimation of both observables for the near central events. We claim that a situation could be significantly improved if an additional photon radiation that accompanies the presence of a deconfined environment is included. Since a matter of a space-time layer where hadronization takes place is actively involved in anisotropic transverse flow, both positive contributions to the spectra and v2v_2 are considerable, albeit such an argument needs further research and elaboration.Comment: 21 pages, 6 figure
