Comment on the Calculation of the Angular Momentum and Mass for the (Anti-) Self Dual Charged Spinning BTZBTZ Black Hole

A recent paper [M. Kamata and T. Koikawa, Phys. Lett. {\bf B353} (1995) 196.] claimed to obtain the charged version of the $(2+1)$-dimensional spinning $BTZ$ black hole solution by assuming a (anti-) self dual condition imposed on the electric and magnetic fields. We point out that the angular momentum and mass diverge at spatial infinity and as a consequence the solution is unphysicalComment: 4 pages, Latex, no figures, final version to be publised in Phys.

High-energy String Scatterings of Compactified Open String

We calculate high-energy massive string scattering amplitudes of compactified open string. We derive infinite linear relations, or stringy symmetries, among soft high-energy string scattering amplitudes of different string states in the Gross kinematic regime (GR). In addition, we systematically analyze all hard power-law and soft exponential fall-off regimes of high-energy compactified open string scatterings by comparing the scatterings with their 26D noncompactified counterparts. In particular, we discover the existence of a power-law regime at fixed angle and an exponential fall-off regime at small angle for high-energy compactified open string scatterings. The linear relations break down as expected in all power-law regimes. The analysis can be extended to the high-energy scatterings of the compactified closed string, which corrects and extends the previous results in [28] .Comment: 16 pages, 1 table. v2:typos corrected,references added. v3,v4:Eq.(26) typos.

Deligne-Lusztig Constructions for Division Algebras and the Local Langlands Correspondence

Let $K$ be a local non-Archimedean field of positive characteristic and let $L$ be the degree-$n$ unramified extension of $K$. Via the local Langlands and Jacquet-Langlands correspondences, to each sufficiently generic multiplicative character of $L$, one can associate an irreducible representation of the multiplicative group of the central division algebra $D$ of invariant $1/n$ over $K$. In 1979, Lusztig proposed a cohomological construction of supercuspidal representations of reductive $p$-adic groups analogous to Deligne-Lusztig theory for finite reductive groups. In this paper we prove that when $n=2$, the $p$-adic Deligne-Lusztig (ind-)scheme $X$ induces a correspondence between smooth one-dimensional representations of $L^\times$ and representations of $D^\times$ that matches the correspondence given by the LLC and JLC.Comment: 61 pages.
