Loop Formulas for Description Logic Programs
Description Logic Programs (dl-programs) proposed by Eiter et al. constitute
an elegant yet powerful formalism for the integration of answer set programming
with description logics, for the Semantic Web. In this paper, we generalize the
notions of completion and loop formulas of logic programs to description logic
programs and show that the answer sets of a dl-program can be precisely
captured by the models of its completion and loop formulas. Furthermore, we
propose a new, alternative semantics for dl-programs, called the {\em canonical
answer set semantics}, which is defined by the models of completion that
satisfy what are called canonical loop formulas. A desirable property of
canonical answer sets is that they are free of circular justifications. Some
properties of canonical answer sets are also explored.Comment: 29 pages, 1 figures (in pdf), a short version appeared in ICLP'1
General one-loop formulas for decay
Radiative corrections to the are evaluated in the
one-loop approximation. The unitary gauge gauge is used. The analytic result is
expressed in terms of the Passarino-Veltman functions. The calculations are
applicable for the Standard Model as well for a wide class of its gauge
extensions. In particular, the decay width of a charged Higgs boson can be derived. The consistence of our formulas and
several specific earlier results is shown.Comment: 33 pages, 3 figures, a new section (V) and references were improved

On Loop Formulas with Variables
Recently Ferraris, Lee and Lifschitz proposed a new definition of stable
models that does not refer to grounding, which applies to the syntax of
arbitrary first-order sentences. We show its relation to the idea of loop
formulas with variables by Chen, Lin, Wang and Zhang, and generalize their loop
formulas to disjunctive programs and to arbitrary first-order sentences. We
also extend the syntax of logic programs to allow explicit quantifiers, and
define its semantics as a subclass of the new language of stable models by
Ferraris et al. Such programs inherit from the general language the ability to
handle nonmonotonic reasoning under the stable model semantics even in the
absence of the unique name and the domain closure assumptions, while yielding
more succinct loop formulas than the general language due to the restricted
syntax. We also show certain syntactic conditions under which query answering
for an extended program can be reduced to entailment checking in first-order
logic, providing a way to apply first-order theorem provers to reasoning about
non-Herbrand stable models.Comment: 10 pages. In Proc. Eleventh International Conference on Principles of

New Formulas and Predictions for Running Masses at Higher Scales in MSSM
Including contributions of scale-dependent vacuum expectation values of Higgs
scalars, we derive new one-loop formulas analytically for running quark-lepton
masses at higher scales in MSSM. Apart from the gauge-coupling dependence being
different from earlier formulas, the third-generation- Yukawa-coupling effects
are absent in the masses of the first two generations. While predicting the
masses and numerically, we also include two-loop effects.Comment: 9 pages Latex.Typos correcte
Computing Loops With at Most One External Support Rule
If a loop has no external support rules, then its loop formula is equivalent to a set of unit clauses; and if it has exactly one external support rule, then its loop formula is equivalent to a set of binary clauses. In this paper, we consider how to compute these loops and their loop formulas in a normal logic program, and use them to derive consequences of a logic program. We show that an iterative procedure based on unit propagation, the program completion and the loop formulas of loops with no external support rules can compute the same consequences as the “Expand ” operator in smodels, which is known to compute the well-founded model when the given normal logic program has no constraints. We also show that using the loop formulas of loops with at most one external support rule, the same procedure can compute more consequences, and these extra consequences can help ASP solvers such as cmodels to find answer sets of certain logic programs
Many-body effects in graphene beyond the Dirac model with Coulomb interaction
This paper is devoted to development of perturbation theory for studying the
properties of graphene sheet of finite size, at nonzero temperature and
chemical potential. The perturbation theory is based on the tight-binding
Hamiltonian and arbitrary interaction potential between electrons, which is
considered as a perturbation. One-loop corrections to the electron propagator
and to the interaction potential at nonzero temperature and chemical potential
are calculated. One-loop formulas for the energy spectrum of electrons in
graphene, for the renormalized Fermi velocity and also for the dielectric
permittivity are derived.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figure
Six and seven loop Konishi from Luscher corrections
In the present paper we derive six and seven loop formulas for the anomalous
dimension of the Konishi operator in N=4 SYM from string theory using the
technique of Luscher corrections. We derive analytically the integrand using
the worldsheet S-matrix and evaluate the resulting integral and infinite sum
using a combination of high precision numerical integration and asymptotic
expansion. We use this high precision numerical result to fit the integer
coefficients of zeta values in the final analytical answer. The presented six
and seven loop results can be used as a cross-check with FiNLIE on the string
theory side, or with direct gauge theory computations. The seven loop level is
the theoretical limit of this Luscher approach as at eight loops
double-wrapping corrections will appear.Comment: 18 pages, typos correcte
