Theory of Dynamic Stripe Induced Superconductivity
Annette Bussmann-Holder, K. Alex Muller, Roman Micnas +4
Since the recently reported giant isotope effect on T* [1] could be consistently explained within an anharmonic spin-charge-phonon interaction model, we consider here the role play…
On Pauli's invention of non-abelian Kaluza-Klein Theory in 1953
N. Straumann
There are documents which show that Wolfgang Pauli developed in 1953 the first consistent generalization of the five-dimensional theory of Kaluza, Klein, Fock and others to a highe…
Dynamic critical properties of the vortex-glass transition derived from angular-dependent properties of LaSrCuO films
T. Schneider, G. I. Meijer, J. Perret +2
We present resistivity data on a high-quality LaSrCuO film measured in a magnetic field of 1 T applied at an angle to the c axis. Using these data, the in…
in the minimal supersymmetric standard model
S. Prelovsek, D. Wyler
The minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with universal soft breaking terms has a negligible effect on the rare decay rate. We therefore study a general model wit…
Evidence for novel polaronic Fermi-liquid in doped oxides
A. S. Alexandrov, Guo-meng Zhao, H. Keller +3
The modern multi-polaron theory predicts a polaronic Fermi-liquid state, but such a state has not been unambigously confirmed by experiment so far. Here we report theoretical and e…
Cosmological thermal decoupling and primordial molecules
Denis Puy
Primordial chemistry began, at the recombination epoch, when the adiabatic expansion caused the temperature of the radiation to fall below 4000K. The chemistry of the early Univers…
Cosmochemistry in the early Universe
Denis Puy
At early times the Universe was filled up with an extremely dense and hot gas. Due to the expansion it cooled below the binding energies of atoms which led to the formation of the…
Isotope effects in underdoped cuprate superconductors: a quantum phenomenon
T. Schneider, H. Keller
We show that the unusual doping dependence of the isotope effects on transition temperature and zero temperature in - plane penetration depth naturally follows from the doping driv…
Uniqueness of Simultaneity
Domenico Giulini
We consider the problem of uniqueness of certain simultaneity structures in flat spacetime. Absolute simultaneity is specified to be a non-trivial equivalence relation which is inv…
Theory of pi pi scattering
Gilberto Colangelo
I describe the current status of the theory of pi pi scattering, reviewing in particular recent work on the numerical solution of Roy equations and on the matching between these an…
Supernova and Cosmology
M. Signore, D. Puy
These lecture notes intend to form a short pedagogical introduction to the use of typical type Ia-Supernovae (hereafter SNIa) as standard candles to determine the energy density of…
Critical behavior of the massless free field at the depinning transition
Erwin Bolthausen, Yvan Velenik
We consider the d-dimensional massless free field localized by a delta-pinning of strength e. We study the asymptotics of the variance of the field, and of the decay-rate of its 2-…
Decoherence: A dynamical approach to superselection rules?
Domenico Giulini
It is well known that the dynamical mechanism of decoherence may cause apparent superselection rules, like that of molecular chirality. These `environment-induced' or `soft' supers…
Shape and geometry of galaxy clusters and the SZ effect
L. Grenacher, R. Piffaretti, D. Puy +2
We discuss the influence of the finite extension and the geometry of clusters of galaxies, as well as of the polytropic temperature profile, on the determination of the Hubble cons…
Self-adjoint wave equations for dynamical perturbations of self-gravitating fields
O. Sarbach, M. Heusler, O. Brodbeck
It is shown that the dynamical evolution of linear perturbations on a static space-time is governed by a constrained wave equation for the extrinsic curvature tensor. The spatial p…
".. I didn't reflect much on what I was doing.." How Planck discovered his radiation formula
Domenico Giulini, Norbert Straumann
On December 14. 1900, Max Planck communicated his derivation of his radiation formula, which he later called ``an act of desperation''. This date is widely recognized as birthday o…
On Wolfgang Pauli's most important contributions to physics
Norbert Straumann
After some brief biographical notes, Wolfgang Pauli's main contributions to general relativity, quantum theory, quantum field theory, and elementary particle physics are reviewed.…
Higher-dimensional BF theories in the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism: The BV action and generalized Wilson loops
Alberto S. Cattaneo, Carlo A. Rossi
This paper analyzes in details the Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization procedure for BF theories on n-dimensional manifolds and describes a suitable superformalism to deal with the mas…
On the mystery of the cosmic vacuum energy density
Norbert Straumann
After a short history of the -term it is explained why the (effective) cosmological constant is expected to obtain contributions from short-distance physics, corresponding to an…
The mystery of cosmological vacuum energy density and the accelerated expansion of the universe
Domenico Giulini, Norbert Straumann
The principles of General Relativity allow for a non-vanishing cosmological constant, which can possibly be interpreted at least partially in terms of quantum-fluctuations of matte…
Electromagnetic corrections for the analysis of low energy pi-p scattering data
A. Gashi, E. Matsinos, G. C. Oades +2
We calculate the electromagnetic corrections to the isospin invariant mixing angle and to the two eigenphases for the s and p-waves for low energy pi-p elastic and charge exchange…
Electromagnetic corrections to the hadronic phase shifts in low energy pi+p elastic scattering
A. Gashi, E. Matsinos, G. C. Oades +2
We calculate the s and p-wave electromagnetic corrections which must be subtracted from the nuclear phase shifts obtained from the analysis of low energy pi+p elastic scattering da…
Asphericity of galaxy clusters and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect
D. Puy, L. Grenacher, Ph. Jetzer +1
In this paper we investigate the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect and the X-ray surface brightness for clusters of galaxies with a non-spherical mass distribution. In particular, we…
Bulk experimental evidence of half-metallic ferromagnetism in doped manganites
Guo-meng Zhao, H. Keller
We report precise measurements and quantitative data analysis on the low-temperature resistivity of several ferromagnetic manganite films. We clearly show that there exists a T^{4.…
