Effective potential for local composite operators and the problem of factorization of multi-field condensates

A new formulation of effective potential for local composite operators is given. The two-fermion condensate \(\langle \bar \Psi \Psi \rangle \) and four-fermion condensate \(\langle \bar \Psi \Psi \bar \Psi \Psi \rangle \) are calculated simultaneously in the Gross-Neveu model up to next-to-the-leading order in 1/N expansion. It is shown that factorization \(\langle \bar \Psi \Psi \bar \Psi \Psi \rangle = C_1 \langle \bar \Psi \Psi \rangle ^2 \) holds only in theN→∞ limit and the non-factorized part of \(\langle \bar \Psi \Psi \bar \Psi \Psi \rangle \) contributed by the order-1/N terms is comparable to \(C_1 \langle \bar \Psi \Psi \rangle ^2 \) when takingN=3.     

Novel scaling behavior of directed polymers: Disorder distribution with long tails

We study the problem of directed polymers (DP) on a square lattice. The distribution of disorder is assumed to be independent but non-Gaussian. We show that for distributions with a power-law tailP() 1/||¹⁺ , where>2, so that the mean and variance are well defined, the scaling exponentv of the DP model depends on in a continuous fashion.

Exponential approximations in the classes of life distributions

In this paper we discuss the approximation of life distributions by exponential ones. The main results are: (1) F NBUE, where its mean is 1, we have , 0, where = 1 - ₂/2, ₂ being the second moment ofF. The inequality is sharp. (2) In the case ofFIFR, the upper bound is . (3) For the HNBUE class, the upper bound is min . Furthermore, the improved upper bound is . In addition, we show 0} |\bar G(t) - e^{ - t} | \leqslant \sqrt {\frac{\rho }{2}} $$ " align="middle" border="0"> , where (4) For the IMRL class, the upper bound is /(1+) ([1]). Here we give a simple proof.Project supported by the National Natural Science Fund of China.     

Determination of the partial electron capture- and spontaneous-fission half-lives of254No

The isotope²⁵⁴No was produced in the fusion reaction⁴⁸Ca +²⁰⁸Pb. Using the velocity filter SHIP and radiochemical techniques it was found that the nuclide²⁵⁴No with a half-life of 55 s decays byα, EC, and spontaneous-fission. Deduced partial half-lives are (61±2) s forα-decay, (550 _?160 ⁺³⁷⁰ ) s for EC and [2.2 _?1.0 ^+2.0 ]×10⁴ s for spontaneous fission.     

Determination of total inorganic iodine in seawater by cathodic stripping square wave voltammetry

A method has been designed for the reduction of iodate to iodide in seawater and subsequent determination of total dissolved iodine as iodide by cathodic stripping square wave voltammetry. The pH of the sample is lowered to about 1-2 and iodate is reduced to iodide with sodium sulfite under this acidic condition. The pH of the sample is then raised to 8-9 before the concentration of iodide is measured.
