Lattice Topological Field Theory in Two Dimensions

M. Fukuma, S. Hosono, H. Kawai

The lattice definition of a two-dimensional topological field theory (TFT) is given generically, and the exact solution is obtained explicitly. In particular, the set of all lattic…

Do Solar Neutrino Experiments Imply New Physics?

John N. Bahcall, H. A. Bethe

None of the 1000 solar models in a full Monte Carlo simulation is consistent with the results of the chlorine or the Kamiokande experiments. Even if the solar models are forced art…

Eluding the no-hair conjecture: Black holes in spontaneously broken gauge theories

Brian R. Greene, Samir D. Mathur, Christopher M. O'Neill

We study regular and black hole solutions to the coupled classical Einstein--Yang-Mills--Higgs system. It has long been thought that black hole solutions in the spontaneously broke…

Hysteresis and hierarchies: dynamics of disorder-driven first-order phase transformations

James P. Sethna, Karin Dahmen, Sivan Kartha +3

We use the zero-temperature random-field Ising model to study hysteretic behavior at first-order phase transitions. Sweeping the external field through zero, the model exhibits hys…

Many Body Theory of Charge Transfer in Hyperthermal Atomic Scattering

J. B. Marston, D. R. Andersson, E. R. Behringer +4

We use the Newns-Anderson Hamiltonian to describe many-body electronic processes that occur when hyperthermal alkali atoms scatter off metallic surfaces. Following Brako and Newns,…

Generalized Gluon Currents and Applications in QCD

G. Mahlon, T. M. Yan, C. Dunn

We consider the process containing two quark lines and an arbitrary number of gluons in a spinor helicity framework. A current with two off-shell gluons appears in the amplitude. W…

Quantum Affine Symmetry as Generalized Supersymmetry

A. LeClair, C. Vafa

The quantum affine $\CU_q (\hat{sl(2)}) $ symmetry is studied when is an even root of unity. The structure of this algebra allows a natural generalization of N=2 supersymmetr…

On the Viability of Lattice Perturbation Theory

G. P. Lepage, P. B. Mackenzie

In this paper we show that the apparent failure of QCD lattice perturbation theory to account for Monte Carlo measurements of perturbative quantities results from choosing the bare…

Chiral Lagrangians for Radiative Decays of Heavy Hadrons

H. Y. Cheng, C. Y. Cheung, G. L. Lin +3

The radiative decays of heavy mesons and heavy baryons are studied in a formalism which incorporates both the heavy quark symmetry and the chiral symmetry. The chiral Lagrangians f…

Electromagnetic response of a static vortex line in a type-II superconductor : a microscopic study

Boldizsar Janko, Joel D. Shore

The electromagnetic response of a pinned Abrikosov fluxoid is examined in the framework of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism. The matrix elements and the selection rules for both…

Destructive quantum interference in spin tunneling problems

Jan von Delft, Christopher L. Henley

In some spin tunneling problems, there are several different but symmetry-related tunneling paths that connect the same initial and final configurations. The topological phase fact…

Melting a copper cluster: Critical droplet theory

Ole H. Nielsen, James P. Sethna, Per Stoltze +2

We simulate the melting of a 71 A diameter cluster of Cu. At low temperatures the crystal exhibits facets. With increasing temperatures the open facets pre-melt, the melted regions…

Sine-Gordon =/= Massive Thirring, and Related Heresies

Timothy R. Klassen, Ezer Melzer

By viewing the Sine-Gordon and massive Thirring models as perturbed conformal field theories one sees that they are different (the difference being observable, for instance, in fin…

S-matrices for Perturbed N=2 Superconformal Field Theory from quantum groups

A. LeClair, D. Nemeschansky, N. P. Warner

S-matrices for integrable perturbations of superconformal field theories are studied. The models we consider correspond to perturbations of the coset theory $G_k \times H_{g-…
