<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     

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.     

<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.     

<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.     

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 .     

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.

The Dirac Operator on <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>(2)

We construct a 3⁺-summable spectral triple over the quantum group SU_q(2) which is equivariant with respect to a left and a right action of The geometry is isospectral to the classical case since the spectrum of the operator D is the same as that of the usual Dirac operator on the 3-dimensional round sphere. The presence of an equivariant real structure J demands a modification in the axiomatic framework of spectral geometry, whereby the commutant and first-order properties need be satisfied only modulo infinitesimals of arbitrary high order.Partially supported by Polish State Committee for Scientific Research (KBN) under grant 2 P03B 022 25.Regular Associate of the Abdus Salam ICTP, Trieste.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(4) string tensions from the fat-center-vortices model

The thick- or fat-center-vortices model has been applied to a calculation of the potentials between static sources of various SU(4) representations. For intermediate distances, a linear potential is obtained. For this region the string tensions agree qualitatively with both flux tube counting and Casimir scaling, even though for some representations it favors flux tube counting more. In addition, our results confirm the existence of two different string tensions for non-zero 4-ality representations at large distances. In this area, zero 4-ality representations are screened. In our computations, we have used only the first non-trivial vortex of SU(4).Received: 30 April 2005, Published online: 22 June 2005PACS: 11.15 Ha, 12.38 Aw, 2.39 Pn     

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.     

Maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing in an <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(5) model

We show that maximal atmospheric and large solar neutrino mixing can be implemented in SU(5) gauge theories, by making use of the U(1) _F symmetry associated with a suitably defined family number F, together with a Z₂ symmetry which does not commute with F. U(1) _F is softly broken by the mass terms of the right-handed neutrino singlets, which are responsible for the seesaw mechanism; in additio n, U(1) _F is also spontaneously broken at the electroweak scale. In our scenario, lepton mixing stems exclusively from the right-handed-neutrino Majorana mass matrix, whereas the CKM matrix originates solely in the up-type-quark sector. We show that, despite the non-supersymmetric character of our model, unification of the gauge couplings can be achieved at a scale 10¹⁶ GeV < m _U < 10¹⁹ GeV; indeed, we have found a particula r solution to this problem which yields results almost identical to the ones of the minimal supersymmetric standard model.

Integrable string models with constant <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(3) torsion

We used the local invariant chiral currents to obtain new integrable string equations for string WZW model type with SU(3) constant torsion. We solved Burgers equation of motion for first invariant current in. terms of Lambert function. We show that string model with SU(n), n > 3 constant torsion does not integrable, because procedure of decomposition of non-primitive invariant chiral currents to primitive currents is the procedure of introduction of infinite-dimensions matrix of second kind constraints in bi-Hamiltonian approach to integrable systems.     

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.     

Non-vacuum Bianchi types <Emphasis Type="Italic">I</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">V</Emphasis> in <Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>) gravity

In a recent paper (Sharif and Shamir in Class. Quantum Grav. 26:235020, 2009), we have studied the vacuum solutions of Bianchi types I and V spacetimes in the framework of metric f (R) gravity. Here we extend this work to perfect fluid solutions. For this purpose, we take stiff matter to find energy density and pressure of the universe. In particular, we find two exact solutions in each case which correspond to two models of the universe. The first solution gives a singular model while the second solution provides a non-singular model. The physical behavior of these models has been discussed using some physical quantities. Also, the function of the Ricci scalar is evaluated.     

Trace anomaly and quasi-particles in finite temperature <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>) gauge theory

We consider deconfined matter in SU(N) gauge theory as an ideal gas of transversely polarized quasi-particle modes having a temperature-dependent mass m(T). Just above the transition temperature, the mass is assumed to be determined by the critical behavior of the energy density and the screening length in the medium. At high temperature, it becomes proportional to T as the only remaining scale. The resulting (trace anomaly based) interaction measure Δ=(ϵ−3P)/T ⁴ and energy density are found to agree well with finite temperature SU(3) lattice calculations.     

A Pseudo-cocycle for the Comultiplication on the Quantum <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">2</Emphasis>) Group

<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.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>) black holes

We study the f (R)-Maxwell black hole imposed by constant curvature and its all thermodynamic quantities, which may lead to the Reissner-Nordström-AdS black hole by redefining Newtonian constant and charge. Further, we obtain the f (R)-Yang-Mills black hole imposed by constant curvature, which is related to the Einstein-Yang-Mills black hole in AdS space. Since there is no analytic black hole solution in the presence of Yang-Mills field, we obtain asymptotic solutions. Then, we confirm the presence of these solutions in a numerical way.     

Weyl group, <Emphasis Type="Italic">CP</Emphasis> and the kink-like field configurations in the effective <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(3) gauge theory

Effective Lagrangian for Yang-Mills gauge fields invariant under the standard space-time and local gauge SU(3) transformations is considered. It is demonstrated that a set of twelve degenerated minima exists as soon as a nonzero gluon condensate is postulated. The minima are connected to each other by the parity transformations and Weyl group transformations associated with the color su(3) algebra. The presence of degenerated discrete minima in the effective potential leads to the solutions of the effective Euclidean equations of motion in the form of the kink-like gauge field configurations interpolating between different minima. Spectrum of charged scalar field in the kink background is discussed.     

Ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity in Eu<Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis> = <Emphasis Type="Italic">O</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>): pressure effects

Ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity in Eu monochalcogenides have been investigated by ab initio density functional theory in the DFT+U approach. Exchange interaction parameters and Curie temperatures under pressure are studied and discussed using Heisenberg Hamiltonian with first and second-nearest-neighbor interactions. The calculations showed that the hydrostatic pressure perfectly improves the Curie temperature (EuO: T _C = 175 K; EuS: T _C = 33.8 K) and in the other hand it cannot induce the spontaneous polarization (P _s ). The effect of uniaxial and biaxial pressure is also studied. Although the uniaxial strains slightly increases the Curie temperature, it ensures the ferrolectricity in these systems by producing a spontaneous polarization of the order of P _s (EuO) = 57.50 μC/cm² and P _s (EuS) = 42.86 μC/cm² with pressures of 5% and 4%, respectively. The search for new model systems is a necessity to better understand the physics related to multiferroïc materials and to consider possible applications.
