Pure annihilation decay of strange beauty meson into two charm heavy mesons

In this study, the heavy to heavy decay of \begin{document}$ B^0_s\rightarrow D^{*+}D^- $\end{document} is evaluated through the factorization approach by using the final state interaction as an effective correction. Under the factorization approach, this decay mode occurs only through the annihilation process, so a small amount is produced. Feynman's rules state that six meson pairs can be assumed for the intermediate states before the final meson pairs are produced. By taking into account the effects of twelve final state interaction diagrams in the calculations, a significant correction is obtained. These effects correct the value of the branching ratio obtained by the pure factorization approach from \begin{document}$ (2.41\pm1.37)\times10^{-5} $\end{document} to \begin{document}$ (8.27\pm2.23)\times10^{-5} $\end{document}. The value obtained for the branching ratio of the \begin{document}$ B^0_s\rightarrow D^{*+}D^- $\end{document} decay is consistent with the experimental results.     

New convolutions and their applicability to integral equations of Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel type

We propose four new convolutions exhibiting convenient factorization properties associated with two finite interval integral transformations of Fourier-type together with their norm inequalities. Moreover, we study the solvability of a class of integral equations of Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel type (on finite intervals) with the help of the factorization identities of such convolutions. Fourier-type series are used to produce the solution formula of such equations, and a Shannon-type sampling formula is also obtained.     

Revisiting radiative leptonic B decay

In this paper, we summarize the existing methods of solving the evolution equation of the leading-twist \begin{document}$B$\end{document}-meson LCDA. Then, in the Mellin space, we derive a factorization formula with next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) resummation for the form factors \begin{document}$F_{A,V}$\end{document} in the \begin{document}$B \to \gamma \ell\nu$\end{document} decay at leading power in \begin{document}$\Lambda/m_b$\end{document}. Furthermore, we investigate the power suppressed local contributions, factorizable non-local contributions (which are suppressed by \begin{document}$1/E_\gamma$\end{document} and \begin{document}$1/m_b$\end{document}), and soft contributions to the form factors. In the numerical analysis, which employs the two-loop-level hard function and the jet function, we find that both the resummation effect and the power corrections can sizably decrease the form factors. Finally, the integrated branching ratios are also calculated for comparison with future experimental data.     

Decomposition of ideals into pseudo-irreducible ideals

A proper ideal of a commutative ring is called pseudo-irreducible if it cannot be written as a product of two comaximal proper ideals. In this paper, we give a necessary and su?cient condition for every proper ideal of a commutative ring to be a product of pairwise comaximal pseudo-irreducible ideals. Examples of such rings include Laskerian rings, or more generally J-Noetherian rings and ZD-rings. We study when certain classes of rings satisfy this condition.

High‐temperature superconductivity and long‐range order in strongly correlated electronic systems

A selective review of the question of how repulsive electron correlations might give rise to off‐diagonal long‐range order (ODLRO) in high‐temperature superconductors is presented. The article makes detailed explanations of the relevance to superconductivity of reduced electronic density matrices and how these can be used to understand whether ODLRO might arise from Coulombic repulsions in strongly correlated electronic systems. Time‐reversed electron pairs on alternant Cuprate and the iron‐based pnictide and chalcogenide lattices may have a weak long‐range attractive tail and much stronger short‐range repulsive Coulomb interaction. The long‐range attractive tail may find its origin in one of the many suggested proposals for high‐T_c superconductivity and thus has an uncertain origin. A phenomenological Hamiltonian is invoked whose model parameters are obtained by fitting to experimental data. A detailed summary is given of the arguments that such interacting electrons can cooperate to produce a superconducting state in which time‐reversed pairs of electrons effectively avoid the repulsive hard‐core of the Coulomb interaction but reside on average in the attractive well of the long‐range potential. Thus, the pairing of electrons itself provides an enhanced screening mechanism. The alternant lattice structure is the key to achieving robust high‐temperature superconductivity with dx²‐y² or sign alternating s‐wave or s± condensate symmetries in cuprates and iron‐based compounds. Some attention is also given to the question first raised by Leggett as to where the Coulombic energy is saved in the superconducting transition in cuprates. A mean‐field‐type model in which the condensate density serves as an order parameter is discussed. Many of the observed trends in the thermal properties of cuprate superconductors are reproduced giving strong support for the proposed model for high‐temperature superconductivity in such strongly correlated electronic systems. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Evaluation and default time for companies with uncertain cash flows

In this study, we propose a modelling framework for evaluating companies financed by random liabilities, such as insurance companies or commercial banks. In this approach, earnings and costs are driven by double exponential jump–diffusion processes and bankruptcy is declared when the income falls below a default threshold, which is proportional to the charges. A change of numeraire, under the Esscher risk neutral measure, is used to reduce the dimension. A closed form expression for the value of equity is obtained in terms of the expected present value operators, with and without disinvestment delay. In both cases, we determine the default threshold that maximizes the shareholder’s equity. Subsequently, the probabilities of default are obtained by inverting the Laplace transform of the bankruptcy time. In numerical applications of the proposed model, we apply a procedure for calibration based on market and accounting data to explain the behaviour of shares for two real-world examples of insurance companies.
