The charges of a twisted brane

Matthias R Gaberdiel, Terry Gannon

The charges of the twisted D-branes of certain WZW models are determined. The twisted D-branes are labelled by twisted representations of the affine algebra, and their charge is si…

An Automorphism of A Free Metabelian Group Without Fixed Points

Martin Kassabov

We construct an example of an IA-automorphism of the free metabelian group of rank without nontrivial fixed points. That gives a negative answer to the question raised by…

Maximal Bell's Inequality Violation for Non Maximal Entanglement

M. Kobayashi, F. Khanna, A. Mann +2

Bell's inequality violation (BIQV) for correlations of polarization is studied for a {\it product} state of two two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV) states. The violation allowed is sho…

Experimental studies of unbiased gluon jets from e+e- annihilations using the jet boost algorithm

The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi

We present the first experimental results based on the jet boost algorithm, a technique to select unbiased samples of gluon jets in e+e- annihilations, i.e. gluon jets free of bias…

Spin Torque and its Relation to Spin Filtering

Wonkee Kim, F. Marsiglio

The spin torque exerted on a magnetic moment is a reaction to spin filtering when spin-polarized electrons interact with a thin ferromagnetic film. We show that, for certain condit…

Classical and Quantum Decay of Oscillatons: Oscillating Self-Gravitating Real Scalar Field Solitons

Don N. Page

The oscillating gravitational field of an oscillaton of finite mass M causes it to lose energy by emitting classical scalar field waves, but at a rate that is non-perturbatively ti…

Transport in vortex state of d-wave superconductors at zero temperature: Wiedemann-Franz violation

Wonkee Kim, F. Marsiglio, J. P. Carbotte

We show that the Wiedemann-Franz law is violated at zero temperature in the vortex state of a d-wave BCS superconductor with isotropic impurity scattering. We use a semiclassical a…

Self Adjoint Extensions of Phase and Time Operators

G. Gour, F. C. Khanna, M. Revzen

It is shown that any real and even function of the phase (time) operator has a self-adjoint extension and its relation to the general phase operator problem is analyzed.

Self-Consistent Modification To The Electron Density Of States Due To Electron-Phonon Coupling In Metals

Fatih Dogan, Frank Marsiglio

The "standard" theory of a normal metal consists of an effective electron band which interacts with phonons and impurities. The effects due to the electron-phonon interaction are o…
