Double hypernuclei and the Λ-Λ interaction

The binding energy of the double hypernucleus Be¹⁰ analyzed using an -particle model. A relationship is found between B, the binding energy of two -particlcs, and ¯V, the - potential integral. For the experimental value B = 17.5 Me V ¯V varies from 250 to 850 MeV-F³ according to the form of the - potential used.In conclusion, I wish to thank S. N. Kryuchkova for carrying out these calculations on a Minsk-2 electronic computer. I also wish to thank my senior colleague, V. A. Filimonov, for his support in the completion of the present work.     

On the Surface Pressure for the Edwards-Anderson Model

For the Edwards-Anderson model we introduce an integral representation for the surface pressure (per unit surface) in terms of a quenched moment of the bond-overlap on the surface. We consider free , periodic and antiperiodic ^* boundary conditions (by symmetry ⁽⁾=^(*)), and prove the bounds We show moreover that at high temperatures ⁽⁾ is close to ^2/4 and ⁽⁾ is close to ^2/4 uniformly in the volume .     

Weakly Bound States in Light Hypernuclei

From the viewpoint of critical stability, we discuss the three- and four-body structure of ⁶He, ⁷He, ⁴He, and ⁴H. With the + + N three-body model, ⁶He is found to have a three-layer structure of the matter distribution: core, a skin and neutron halo. Also the level structure of ⁷He with the three-body model of ⁵He + n + n is predicted. This stimulates a new study of neutron-rich and proton-rich hypernuclei. By performing a four-body calculation with both NNN and NNN channels and with both NN and NNN channels, we show that the N-N and -N couplings are very important in critical stability of few-body hypernuclear systems.     

Nontrivial extensions of a representation of the Poincaré group with mass and helicity zero by its tensorial product

Let U(a, ) be a representation of the Poincaré group with mass and helicity zero, realized in the space of C -functions with compact support on ³, without the origin. Let U ⁽²⁾(a, ) denote the tensorial product of U(a, ) by itself. We explicitly determine the cocycles of extension of U(a, ) by U ⁽²⁾(a, ) and we prove that the nontrivial cohomology is indexed by (u(),),u()D ¹ _]0,3\,.     

Inertial reference frames in Einstein's theory of gravitation

A physical definition of the inertial reference frame (IRF) is given, and the properties of solutions of the Einstein equation (with cosmological constant), which admit an IRF (IRF solutions) are investigated. Their Petrov type is uniquely determined by the viscous stress tensor. Only the typesI, D or 0 are possible. The unique vacuum IRF solution is the Minkowski space-time. The unique IRF solution belonging to a perfect fluid is the Einstein universe. is of special importance. For=0, the only physically admissible IRF solution is the Minkowski space-time. For0, only interior solutions with strong restrictions for density and pressure are possible.     

The prediction of the behaviour of Λ-hyperon electromagnetic form factors

The behaviour of the -hyperon electric and magnetic form factors is predicted within the modified three resonance ((783), (1020), (1680)) vector-meson dominance (VMD) model with correct analytic properties and the asymptotic behaviour predestinated by the quark model for baryons. The resonance couplings to are evaluated from the known couplings to nucleons by utilizing theSU(3) symmetry and normalization conditions for Dirac and Pauli form factors. The masses and widths of the considered vector mesons are fixed at the world averaged values. The optimal position of the effective inelastic threshold, common for Dirac and Pauli form factors, is determined from the fit of the only existing Orsay DM2 point on the cross section att=5·693 GeV². The mean square charge and magnetic radii of the -hyperon are found to be r _E ² =0·018 F² and r _M ² =–0·027 F², respectively.The authors are very much indebted to Prof. R. Baldini-Ferroli for calling their attention to the problem of -hyperon e.m. ff 's in connection with the FENICE experiment.

Representations of central extensions of differentiably simple lie superalgebras

LetS be a simple Lie algebra of characteristic 0 and (n) be the Grassmann superalgebra inn indeterminates. We can form the Lie superalgebraS (n). The purpose of this paper is to classify all finite dimensional irreducible representations of all central extensions ofS (n). We will also give a character formula for these representations.     

Effects of a positive cosmological constant on circular orbits in the reissner-nordström,schwarzschild, and kerr fields

Criteria for the existence and stability of circular orbits in a general stationary axisymmetric field are established using the equation of geodesic deviation. Circular orbits in the ReissnerNordström, Schwarzschild and Kerr fields, all with a positive cosmological constant included, are considered and the effects of are detailed.     

Charge Fluctuations in the Two-Dimensional One-Component Plasma

We study, via computer simulations, the fluctuations in the net electric charge in a two-dimensional, one component plasma (OCP) with uniform background charge density –e in a region inside a much larger overall neutral system. Setting e=1, this is the same as the fluctuations in N , the number of mobile particles of charge e. As expected, the distribution of N has, for large , a Gaussian form with a variance which grows only as ^||, where || is the length of the perimeter of . The properties of this system depend only on the coupling parameter =kT, which is the same as the reciprocal temperature in our units. Our simulations show that when the coupling parameter increases, ^() decreases to an asymptotic value ^()^(2)/2 which is equal (or very close) to that obtained for the corresponding variance of particles on a rigid triangular lattice. Thus, for large , the characteristic length _L=2^/ associated with charge fluctuations behaves very differently from that of the Debye length, _D1/ , which it approaches as 0. The pair correlation function of the OCP is also studied.     

On the existence of rotating stars in general relativity

The Newtonian equations of motion, and Newton's law of gravitation can be obtained by a limit of Einstein's equations. For a sufficiently small constant the existence of a set of solutions (0) of Einstein's equations of a stationary, axisymmetric star is proven. This existence is proven in weighted Sobolev spaces with the implicit function theorem. Since the value of the causality constant depends only on the units used to measure the velocity, the existence of a solution for any small is physically interesting.     

Λ-d Scattering

A three-particle variational calculation of the cross sections and phases of elastic -d scattering in the doublet and quartet states with zero orbital angular momentum is carried out in the energy range from 0 to 20 MeV (laboratory system of coordinates). The calculation is carried out with semirealistic N-N Afnan-Tang potentials and -N potent: —N, which describe -p scattering correctly, as well as the binding energy of the hyperfragments ⁵ He, ¹³ C (within the scope of the + core model), and ³ H (considered as a three-body system).Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 114–118, 1981.     

Large charge fluctuations in classical Coulomb systems

The typical fluctuation of the net electric chargeQ contained in a subregion of an infinitely extended equilibrium Coulomb system is expected to grow only as S, whereS is the surface area of. For some cases it has been previously shown thatQ/S has a Gaussian distribution as ¦¦. Here we study the probability law for larger charge fluctuations (large-deviation problem). We discuss the case when both ¦¦ andQ are large, but now withQ of an order larger than S. For a given value ofQ, the dominant microscopic configurations are assumed to be those associated with the formation of a double electrical layer along the surface of. The probability law forQ is then determined by the free energy of the double electrical layer. In the case of a one-component plasma, this free energy can be computed, for large enoughQ, by macroscopic electrostatics. There are solvable two-dimensional models for which exact microscopic calculations can be done, providing more complete results in these cases. A variety of behaviors of the probability law are exhibited.     

Conformal field theories,representations and lattice constructions

An account is given of the structure and representations of chiral bosonic meromorphic conformal field theories (CFT's), and, in particular, the conditions under which such a CFT may be extended by a representation to form a new theory. This general approach is illustrated by considering the untwisted andZ ₂-twisted theories, () and respectively, which may be constructed from a suitable even Euclidean lattice . Similarly, one may construct lattices and by analogous constructions from a doubly-even binary code . In the case when is self-dual, the corresponding lattices are also. Similarly, () and are self-dual if and only if is. We show that has a natural triality structure, which induces an isomorphism and also a triality structure on . For the Golay code, is the Leech lattice, and the triality on is the symmetry which extends the natural action of (an extension of) Conway's group on this theory to the Monster, so setting triality and Frenkel, Lepowsky and Meurman's construction of the natural Monster module in a more general context. The results also serve to shed some light on the classification of self-dual CFT's. We find that of the 48 theories () and with central charge 24 that there are 39 distinct ones, and further that all 9 coincidences are accounted for by the isomorphism detailed above, induced by the existence of a doubly-even self-dual binary code.     

Absolute Continuity of Vitali–Hahn–Saks Measure Convergence Theorems

In this paper, we prove the following improved Vitali–Hahn–Saks measure convergence theorem: Let (L, 0, 1) be a Boolean algebra with the sequential completeness property, (G, ) be an Abelian topological group, be a nonnegative finitely additive measure defined on L, {_n: n N} be a sequence of finitely additive s-bounded G-valued measures defined on L, too. If for each a L, {_n(a)}_{n N} is a -convergent sequence, for each nN, when { (a)} convergent to 0, {_n(a)} is -convergent, then when { (a)} convergent to 0, {_n(a)} are -convergent uniformly with respect to nN     

Debye screening for two-dimensional Coulomb systems at high temperatures

The grand canonical ensemble of a two-dimensional Coulomb system with±1 charges is proved to have screening phenomena in its high-temperature region. The Coulomb potential in a finite region is assumed to be (–)^–1, where is the Laplacian with zero boundary conditions on. The hard-core condition is not assumed. The model is set up by separating (–)^–1 into a shortrange part and a long-range part depending on a parameter. The self-energies are subtracted only for the short-range part and therefore a choice of is a choice of subtraction of self-energies. The method of proof is in general the same as that of Brydges-Federbush Debye screening, except that here a modification for the short-range part of the potentials is needed.     

Gauge covariant theory of the generating operator. I

A gauge covariant formulation of the generating operator (-operator) theory for the Zakharov-Shabat system is proposed. The operator , corresponding to the gauge equivalent system in the pole gauge is explicitly calculated. Thus the unified approach to the nonlinear Schrödinger-type equations based on is automatically reformulated with the help of for the Heisenberg ferromagnet-type equations. Consequently, it is established that the conserved densities for the Heisenberg-ferromagnet-type equations are polynomial inS(x) and itsx-derivatives. Special attention is paid to the interrelation between the hierarchies of symplectic structures corresponding to the above mentioned families of gauge-equivalent equations. It is shown that the geometrical properties of the conjugated operator * are gaugeindependent.     

Meson decays of hypertritium

Using ³ H and³He wave functions found by multiparameter variation calculations with N-potentials consistent with fundamental hypernuclear data and Afnan-Tang and Malfiet-Tjon type NN-potentials, the fraction of two particle ^–-decays in the total number of ^–-decays in ³ H is calculated and the ³ H lifetime is estimated. The results obtained are compared with experimental data on decay and binding energy of ³ H.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 44–48, March, 1988.     

Amplitude and energy coefficients of reflected and refracted light

The tensor of reflected and refracted light was first introduced into the principal axes and then the latter were transformed into thep ands direction of the electric field strength. The amplitude coefficient of thep-components of refracted light has different forms depending on which complex unit vector is unit with respect to the square or the absolute value. The energy coefficient has the same value in both cases.

Hypernuclear spectroscopy

Conclusions The main difference between the- nucleus and the nucleon-nucleus interaction is in the spin dependence. The spin-spin and spin-orbit interaction is an order of magnitude weaker for the-nucleus than for the nucleon-nucleus system. If we want to emphasize the difference between hypernuclei and nuclei in an oversimplifying manner, we may say that the particle in the nucleus behaves like a spinless neutron.This radical difference in the behaviour of particles and nucleons in nuclear matter presents a sensitive test for the models of nuclear matter. Hypernuclear spectroscopy if studied in detail, a program just begun, promises to give valuable information on the effective properties of the quasiparticles in the nucleus and their interactions, both basic ingredients of nuclear models.Rather surprisingly, hypernuclei live long enough to observe individual states, as can be deduced from the berylium results. These results should be verified as soon as possible. If they are confirmed, this will challenge experimentalists to determine the -nucleus interaction in the same way as done for particles and the theorists to explain why the strong decay of particles in the nucleus is hindered.Invited talk at the symposium Mesons and Light Nuclei, Liblice, Czechoslovakia, June 1981.
