Instantons and the large N_c limit, A.D. 2004

Thomas Schaefer

We review our current understanding of instanton effects in the large N_c limit of QCD. We argue that the instanton liquid can have a smooth large N_c limit which is in agreement w…

Radiative strength functions in 93-98Mo

M. Guttormsen, R. Chankova, U. Agvaanluvsan +12

Radiative strength functions (RSFs) in 93-98Mo have been extracted using the (3He,alpha gamma) and (3He,3He' gamma) reactions. The RSFs are U-shaped as function of gamma energy wit…

Instantons and Monte Carlo Methods in Quantum Mechanics

Thomas Schaefer

In these lectures we describe the use of Monte Carlo simulations in understanding the role of tunneling events, instantons, in a quantum mechanical toy model. We study, in particul…

A prohibition of equilibrium spin currents in multi-terminal ballistic devices

A. A. Kiselev, K. W. Kim

We show that in the multi-terminal ballistic devices with intrinsic spin-orbit interaction connected to normal metal contacts there are no equilibrium spin currents present at any…

A novel variational approach for Quantum Field Theory: example of study of the ground state and phase transition in Nonlinear Sigma Model

Yuriy Mishchenko, Chueng-Ryong Ji

We discuss a novel form of the variational approach in Quantum Field Theory in which the trial quantum configuration is represented directly in terms of relevant expectation values…

Exploring Properties of Dark and Visible Mass Distribution on Different Scales in the Universe

Yuriy Mishchenko, Chung-Ryong Ji

In this short note we discuss recent observation of linear correlation on log-log scale between distribution of dark and visible mass in gravitationally bound systems. The coeffici…

Neutrino Scattering, Absorption and Annihilation above the accretion disks of Gamma Ray Bursts

J. P. Kneller, G. C. McLaughlin, R. Surman

The central engine that drives gamma ray burst (GRB) explosions may derive from the ability of electrons/positrons and nucleons to tap into the momentum and energy from the large n…

INTEGRAL/SPI Limits on Electron-Positron Annihilation Radiation from the Galactic Plane

B. J. Teegarden, K. Watanabe, P. Jean +24

The center of our Galaxy is a known strong source of electron-positron 511-keV annihilation radiation. Thus far, however, there have been no reliable detections of annihilation rad…

The Maurer-Cartan structure of BRST differential

Jining Gao

In this paper, we construct a new sequence of generators of the BRST complex and reformulate the BRST differential so that it acts on elements of the complex much like the Maurer-C…

Neutrino Emission from Ungapped Quark Matter

Thomas Schafer, Kai Schwenzer

We study neutrino emission from a normal, ungapped, quark phase in the core of a compact star. Neutrino emission from non-interacting quark matter leads to an emissivity that scale…
