<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) x <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) nonlocal quark model with confinement

The nonlocal version of the SU(2) x SU(2) symmetric four-quark interaction of the NJL type is considered. Each of the quark lines contains the form factors. These form factors remove the ultraviolet divergences in quark loops. The additional condition on the quark mass function m(p) ensures the absence of the poles in the quark propagator (quark confinement). The constituent-quark mass m(0) is expressed through the cut-off parameter , MeV in the chiral limit. These parameters are fixed by the experimental value of the weak pion decay and allow us to describe the mass of the light scalar meson, the strong decay and the D/S ratio in the decay in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.Received: 16 June 2003, Revised: 28 July 2003, Published online: 18 December 2003PACS: 14.40.-n Mesons - 11.10.Lm Nonlinear or nonlocal theories and models - 12.39.Ki Relativistic quark model     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(3)-Instantons and <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">Spin</Emphasis>(7)-Heterotic String Solitons

Necessary and sufficient conditions to the existence of a hermitian connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion and holonomy contained in SU(3) are given. A formula for the Riemannian scalar curvature is obtained. Non-compact solution to the supergravity-type I equations of motion with non-zero flux and non-constant dilaton is found in dimension 6. Non-conformally flat non-compact solutions to the supergravity-type I equations of motion with non-zero flux and non-constant dilaton are found in dimensions 7 and 8. A Riemannian metric with holonomy contained in G₂ arises from our considerations and Hitchin’s flow equations, which seems to be new. Compact examples of SU(3),G₂ and Spin(7) instanton satisfying the anomaly cancellation conditions are presented.     

Polynomial Realization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>l<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>(2) and Fusion Rules at Exceptional Values of <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>

Representations of the sℓ_q(2) algebra are constructed in the space of polynomials of real (complex) variable for q^N=1. The spin addition rule based on eigenvalues of Casimir operator is illustrated on few simplest cases and conjecture for general case is formulated.     

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-boson-fermion realizations of the quantum superalgebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">osp</Emphasis>(1/2))

We show that our construction of realizations for algebras and quantum algebras can be generalized to quantum superalgebras too. We studyan example of quantum superalgebra U _q (osp(1/2)) and give the boson-fermion realization with respect to one pair of q-boson operators and one pair of fermions.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) Non-Abelian Photon

In this paper, we have proposed S U(2) non-Abelian electromagnetism gauge theory. In the theory, photon has self-interaction and interaction between them, which can explain photon entanglement phenomenon in quantum information. Otherwise, we find there are three kinds photons γ ⁺, γ ^? and γ ⁰, they have electric charge + e _γ , ? e _γ and 0, respectively, these prediction are accordance with some experiment results.     

On Dirac sheet configurations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) lattice fields

Finite temperature Euclidean SU(2) lattice gauge fields close to the deconfinement phase transition are subjected to cooling. We find relatively stable or absolutely stable configurations with an action below the one-instanton action both in the deconfinement and the confinement phases. In this paper we attempt to interpret these lowest action configurations. Their action is purely magnetic and amounts to , where N_t (N_s) is the timelike (spacelike) lattice size, while the topological charge vanishes. In the confined phase part of the corresponding lattice configurations turns out to be absolutely stable with respect to the cooling process in which case Abelian projection reveals a homogeneous, purely Abelian magnetic field closed over the boundary in one of the spatial directions. Referring to the dyonic structure established for the confinement phase near T_c and based on the observation made for this phase that such events below the instanton action S_inst emerge from dyon-antidyon annihilation, the question of the stability (metastability) is discussed for both phases. The hypothetically different dyonic structure of the deconfinement phase, inaccessible by cooling, could explain the metastability.Received: 14 October 2003, Revised: 27 January 2004, Published online: 8 April 2004     

Entropy for <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(3)<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis></Subscript> quark states

We discuss the quantum state structure using the standard model for three colored quarks in the fundamental representations of SU(3)_c making up the singlet ground state of the hadrons. This allows us to calculate a finite von Neumann entropy from the quantum reduced density matrix, which we explicitly evaluate for the quarks in a model for the meson and baryon states.Received: 9 December 2003, Revised: 23 January 2004, Published online: 8 April 2004D.E.

Contracted Hamiltonian on Symmetric Space <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(3)/<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) and Conserved Quantities

We study the quantum model on symmetric space SU(3)/SU(2). By using the Inonu-Wigner contraction to Lie algebra su(3), we arrive at a special case of three-body Sutherland model. It has shown that by calculating conservative quantities of this model, it has Poincare Lie algebra, too.     

On the degeneracy of <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(3)<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis></Subscript> topological phases

The ground state degeneracy of an SU(N) _k topological phase with n quasiparticle excitations is a relevant quantity for quantum computation, condensed matter physics, and knot theory. It is an open question to find a closed formula for this degeneracy for any N >2. Here we present the problem in an explicit combinatorial way and analyze the case N = 3. While not finding a complete closed-form solution, we obtain generating functions and solve some special cases.     

Fermion Localization on the <Emphasis Type="Italic">orbifold</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>

The hierarchical structure of fermion masses of the Standard Model is explained in split fermion models by localizing the fermions at different points in an extra dimension. We consider split fermion models with two bulk scalars compactified on an orbifold. In the static case we find analytical expression for the localizer. We also address the issue of stability of the localizer. We also find exact solutions for the fermion zero modes. We explore the parameter space of the model. We find ample opportunity for construction of phenomenologically viable theories exist.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>) Cosmology from <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-theory

From a macroscopic theory of the quantum vacuum in terms of conserved relativistic charges (generically denoted by q ^(a) with label a), we have obtained, in the low-energy limit, a particular type of f(R) model relevant to cosmology. The macroscopic quantum-vacuum theory allows us to distinguish between different phenomenological f(R) models on physical grounds. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Quasi-Conformal Actions,Quaternionic Discrete Series and Twistors: <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2, 1) and <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis><Subscript>2(2)</Subscript>

Quasi-conformal actions were introduced in the physics literature as a generalization of the familiar fractional linear action on the upper half plane, to Hermitian symmetric tube domains based on arbitrary Jordan algebras, and further to arbitrary Freudenthal triple systems. In the mathematics literature, quaternionic discrete series unitary representations of real reductive groups in their quaternionic real form were constructed as degree 1 cohomology on the twistor spaces of symmetric quaternionic-Kähler spaces. These two constructions are essentially identical, as we show explicitly for the two rank 2 cases SU(2, 1) and G ₂₍₂₎. We obtain explicit results for certain principal series, quaternionic discrete series and minimal representations of these groups, including formulas for the lowest K-types in various polarizations. We expect our results to have applications to topological strings, black hole micro-state counting and to the theory of automorphic forms.

Nonperturbative model of hot <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) gluodynamics

A hot-gluodynamics model based on taking consistently into account nonperturbative fluctuations of the gluon field in the temperature-deconfining phase is proposed. In order to perform averaging over nonperturbative fields, the gluon system (partition function) is broken down into a fast and a slow subsystem. In one of these subsystems, nonperturbative fields play the role of rapidly changing (stochastic) degrees of freedom, whose effect on soft gluons is considered within the cluster-expansion method for Green’s functions in the nonperturbative background field. The effect of long-wavelength chromomagnetic fluctuations on hard gluons is studied within adiabatic perturbation theory in the strong-field approximation. The pressure and the energy density of SU(2) gluon matter are calculated for T > T _c .     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) invariants of symmetric qubit states

We express the density matrix for the N-qubit symmetric state or spin-j state (j = N/2) in terms of the well-known Fano statistical tensor parameters. Employing the multi-axial representation, where the spin-j density matrix is shown to be characterized by j(2j + 1) axes and 2j real scalars, we enumerate the number of invariants constructed out of these axes and scalars. We calculate these invariants explicitly in the particular case of the pure and mixed spin-1 state.     

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis> = <Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis><Subscript>7/2</Subscript>-shell nuclei: Experimental highlights

During the last decade, as the experimental and computing means and techniques have rapidly evolved, the experimental investigation of the f_7/2-shell nuclei has gained renewed interest. TheN = Z nuclei studied with the GASP array range from ⁴⁴Ti to ⁵²Fe. The results extended the knowledge of their structure up to high spins and excitation energies, above band terminations, where the competition with the charged-particles emission was initially thought to obscure the possibility of gamma-ray spectroscopy investigation. The paper highlights some of the most outstanding properties of these nuclei such as the nuclear rotation and backbending effects, band termination states, yrast traps, non-natural parity bands, competition between T = 0 and T = 1 pn pairing modes.Received: 30 October 2002, Published online: 16 March 2004PACS: 21.10.-k Properties of nuclei; nuclear energy levels - 21.60.Cs Shell model - 23.20.Lv transitions and level energies - 27.40. + z C.A.

A reanalysis of finite temperature <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>) gauge theory

We revise the SU(N _c ), N _c =3,4,6, lattice data on pure gauge theories at finite temperature by means of a quasi-particle approach. In particular, we focus on the relation between the effective mass of the quasi-particle and the order of the deconfinement transition, the scaling of the interaction measure with N²_c -1N^{2}_{c} -1, the role of gluon condensate, and the screening mass.
