Light quark masses in quantum chromodynamics and chiral symmetry breaking

We derive model independent lower bounds for the sums of effective quark masses \(\bar m_u + \bar m_d \) and \(\bar m_u + \bar m_s \) . The bounds follow from the combination of the spectral representation properties of the hadronic axial currents two-point functions and their behavior in the deep euclidean region (known from a perturbative QCD calculation to two loops and the leading non-perturbative contribution). The bounds incorporate PCAC in the Nambu-Goldstone version. If we define the invariant masses \(\hat m\) by $$\bar m_i = \hat m_i \left( {{{\frac{1}{2}\log Q^2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\frac{1}{2}\log Q^2 } {\Lambda ^2 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\Lambda ^2 }}} \right)^{{{\gamma _1 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\gamma _1 } {\beta _1 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\beta _1 }}} $$ and <F ²> is the vacuum expectation value of $$F^2 = \Sigma _a F_{(a)}^{\mu v} F_{\mu v(a)} $$ , we find, e.g., $$\hat m_u + \hat m_d \geqq \sqrt {\frac{{2\pi }}{3} \cdot \frac{{8f_\pi m_\pi ^2 }}{{3\left\langle {\alpha _s F^2 } \right\rangle ^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} }}} $$ ; with the value <α _u F ²?0.04GeV⁴, recently suggested by various analysis, this gives $$\hat m_u + \hat m_d \geqq 35MeV$$ . The corresponding bounds on \(\bar m_u + \bar m_s \) are obtained replacingm _π ² f _π bym _K ² f _K . The PCAC relation can be inverted, and we get upper bounds on the spontaneous masses, \(\hat \mu \) : $$\hat \mu \leqq 170MeV$$ where \(\hat \mu \) is defined by $$\left\langle {\bar \psi \psi } \right\rangle \left( {Q^2 } \right) = \left( {{{\frac{1}{2}\log Q^2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\frac{1}{2}\log Q^2 } {\Lambda ^2 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\Lambda ^2 }}} \right)^d \hat \mu ^3 ,d = {{12} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{12} {\left( {33 - 2n_f } \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {33 - 2n_f } \right)}}$$ .     

Krein formula with compensated singularities for the ND-mapping and the generalized Kirchhoff condition at the Neumann Schrödinger junction

The Neumann Schrödinger operator \(\mathcal{L}\) is considered on a thin 2D star-shaped junction, composed of a vertex domain Ω_int and a few semi-infinite straight leads ω _m , m = 1, 2, ..., M, of width δ, δ ? diam Ω_int, attached to Ω_int at Γ ? ?Ω_int. The potential of the Schrödinger operator l ^ω on the leads vanishes, hence there are only a finite number of eigenvalues of the Neumann Schrödinger operator L _int on Ω_int embedded into the open spectral branches of l ^ω with oscillating solutions χ _±(x, p) = \(e^{ \pm iK_ + x} e_m \) of l ^ω χ _± = p ² χ _±. The exponent of the open channels in the wires is

$K_ + (\lambda ) = p\sum\limits_{m = 1}^M {e^m } \rangle \langle e^m = \sqrt \lambda P_ + $

, with constant e _m , on a relatively small essential spectral interval Δ ? [0, π ² δ ^?2). The scattering matrix of the junction is represented on Δ in terms of the ND mapping

$\mathcal{N} = \frac{{\partial P_ + \Psi }}{{\partial x}}(0,\lambda )\left| {_\Gamma \to P_ + \Psi _ + (0,\lambda )} \right|_\Gamma $

as

$S(\lambda ) = (ip\mathcal{N} + I_ + )^{ - 1} (ip\mathcal{N} - I_ + ), I_ + = \sum\limits_{m = 1}^M {e^m } \rangle \langle e^m = P_ + $

. We derive an approximate formula for \(\mathcal{N}\) in terms of the Neumann-to-Dirichlet mapping \(\mathcal{N}_{\operatorname{int} } \) of L _int and the exponent K _? of the closed channels of l ^ω . If there is only one simple eigenvalue λ ₀ ∈ Δ, L _intφ0 = λ _0φ0 then, for a thin junction, \(\mathcal{N} \approx |\vec \phi _0 |^2 P_0 (\lambda _0 - \lambda )^{ - 1} \) with

$\vec \phi _0 = P_ + \phi _0 = (\delta ^{ - 1} \int_{\Gamma _1 } {\phi _0 (\gamma )} d\gamma ,\delta ^{ - 1} \int_{\Gamma _2 } {\phi _0 (\gamma )} d\gamma , \ldots \delta ^{ - 1} \int_{\Gamma _M } {\phi _0 (\gamma )} d\gamma )$

and \(P_0 = \vec \phi _0 \rangle |\vec \phi _0 |^{ - 2} \langle \vec \phi _0 \),

$S(\lambda ) \approx \frac{{ip|\vec \phi _0 |^2 P_0 (\lambda _0 - \lambda )^{ - 1} - I_ + }}{{ip|\vec \phi _0 |^2 P_0 (\lambda _0 - \lambda )^{ - 1} + I_ + }} = :S_{appr} (\lambda )$

. The related boundary condition for the components P ₊Ψ(0) and P ₊Ψ′(0) of the scattering Ansatz in the open channel \(P_ + \Psi (0) = (\bar \Psi _1 ,\bar \Psi _2 , \ldots ,\bar \Psi _M ), P_ + \Psi '(0) = (\bar \Psi '_1 , \bar \Psi '_2 , \ldots , \bar \Psi '_M )\) includes the weighted continuity (1) of the scattering Ansatz Ψ at the vertex and the weighted balance of the currents (2), where

$\frac{{\bar \Psi _m }}{{\bar \phi _0^m }} = \frac{{\delta \sum\nolimits_{t = 1}^M { \bar \Psi _t \bar \phi _0^t } }}{{|\vec \phi _0 |^2 }} = \frac{{\bar \Psi _r }}{{\bar \phi _0^r }} = :\bar \Psi (0)/\bar \phi (0), 1 \leqslant m,r \leqslant M$

(1)

,

$\sum\limits_{m = 1}^M {\bar \Psi '_m } \bar \phi _0^m + \delta ^{ - 1} (\lambda - \lambda _0 )\bar \Psi /\bar \phi (0) = 0$

(1)

. Conditions (1) and (2) constitute the generalized Kirchhoff boundary condition at the vertex for the Schrödinger operator on a thin junction and remain valid for the corresponding 1D model. We compare this with the previous result by Kuchment and Zeng obtained by the variational technique for the Neumann Laplacian on a shrinking quantum network.

     

Cosmological General Relativity with Scale Factor and Dark Energy

In this paper the four-dimensional (4-D) space-velocity Cosmological General Relativity of Carmeli is developed by a general solution of the Einstein field equations. The Tolman metric is applied in the form 1 $$ ds^2 = g_{\mu \nu} dx^{\mu} dx^{\nu} = \tau^2 dv^2 -e^{\mu} dr^2 - R^2 \left(d{\theta}^2 + \mbox{sin}^2{\theta} d{\phi}^2 \right), $$ where g _μν is the metric tensor. We use comoving coordinates x ^α = (x ⁰, x ¹, x ², x ³) = (τv, r, θ, ?), where τ is the Hubble-Carmeli time constant, v is the universe expansion velocity and r, θ and ? are the spatial coordinates. We assume that μ and R are each functions of the coordinates τv and r. The vacuum mass density ρ _Λ is defined in terms of a cosmological constant Λ, 2 $$ \rho_{\Lambda} \equiv -\frac{ \Lambda } { \kappa \tau^2 }, $$ where the Carmeli gravitational coupling constant κ = 8πG/c ² τ ², where c is the speed of light in vacuum. This allows the definitions of the effective mass density 3 $$ \rho_{eff} \equiv \rho + \rho_{\Lambda} $$ and effective pressure 4 $$ p_{eff} \equiv p - c \tau \rho_{\Lambda}, $$ where ρ is the mass density and p is the pressure. Then the energy-momentum tensor 5 $$ T_{\mu \nu} = \tau^2 \left[ \left(\rho_{eff} + \frac{p_{eff}} {c \tau} \right) u_{\mu} u_{\nu} - \frac{p_{eff}} {c \tau} g_{\mu \nu} \right], $$ where u _μ = (1,0,0,0) is the 4-velocity. The Einstein field equations are taken in the form 6 $$ R_{\mu \nu} = \kappa \left(T_{\mu \nu} - \frac{1} {2} g_{\mu \nu} T \right), $$ where R _μν is the Ricci tensor, κ = 8πG/c ² τ ² is Carmeli’s gravitation constant, where G is Newton’s constant and the trace T = g ^αβ T _αβ . By solving the field equations (6) a space-velocity cosmology is obtained analogous to the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker space-time cosmology. We choose an equation of state such that 7 $$ p = w_e c \tau \rho, $$ with an evolving state parameter 8 $$ w_e \left(R_v \right) = w_0 + \left(1 - R_v \right) w_a, $$ where R _v = R _v (v) is the scale factor and w ₀ and w _a are constants. Carmeli’s 4-D space-velocity cosmology is derived as a special case.     

A new determination of the capture ratior_c = \frac{{\sum ^ - p \to \sum ^0 n}}{{(\sum ^ - p \to \sum ^0 n) + (\sum ^ - p \to \Lambda ^0 n)}}, the Λ0-lifetime and the ∑−-Λ0 mass difference

The two∑ ^? reactions at rest∑ ^? p→Λ ⁰ n and∑ ^? p→Λ ⁰ n have been studied in order to determine the capture ratio $$r_c = \frac{{\sum ^ - p \to \sum ^0 n}}{{(\sum ^ - p \to \sum ^0 n) + (\sum ^ - p \to \Lambda ^0 n)}}$$ , theΛ ⁰-lifetime and the∑ ^?-Λ ⁰ mass difference. The following results were obtained: $$\begin{gathered} rc = 0.474 \pm 0.016 \hfill \\ \tau _{\Lambda ^0 } = (2.47 \pm 0.08) \times 10^{ - 10} \sec \hfill \\ M_{\sum ^ - } - M_{\sum ^0 } = 81.64 \pm 0.09{{MeV} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{MeV} {c^2 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {c^2 }} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ The∑ ^?-mass was determined from the range of the stopping∑ ^?-hyperons,M _∑} =1197.19±0.32 MeV/c ².     

Measurement of the Λ→p μ− ¯v branching ratio

A sample of 1.2× 10⁶ Λ-hyperons was analyzed in order to detect the rare decay mode: Λ →pμ^?¯v. The Λ-hyperons were produced by stoppingK ^?-mesons in the 81 cm Saclay hydrogen bubble chamber at the CERN PS. We obtained for the branching ratio: $$\frac{{\Gamma {\text{(}}\Lambda \to p\mu ^ - \bar \nu )}}{{\Gamma {\text{(}}\Lambda \to {\text{all)}}}} = (1.4 \pm 0.5) \times 10^{ - 4} ,$$ based on 20 events, of which 6 have to be attributed to the background from the reaction $$\Lambda \to p\pi ^ - , \pi ^ - \to \mu ^ - \bar v.$$ The background was determined by a Monte Carlo calculation.     

A special class of stationary flows for two-dimensional Euler equations: A statistical mechanics description

We consider the canonical Gibbs measure associated to aN-vortex system in a bounded domain Λ, at inverse temperature \(\widetilde\beta \) and prove that, in the limitN→∞, \(\widetilde\beta \) /N→β, αN→1, where β∈(?8π, + ∞) (here α denotes the vorticity intensity of each vortex), the one particle distribution function ?^N = ? ^N x,x∈Λ converges to a superposition of solutions ? _α of the following Mean Field Equation: $$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\varrho _{\beta (x) = } \frac{{e^{ - \beta \psi } }}{{\mathop \smallint \limits_\Lambda e^{ - \beta \psi } }}; - \Delta \psi = \varrho _\beta in\Lambda } \\ {\psi |_{\partial \Lambda } = 0.} \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ Moreover, we study the variational principles associated to Eq. (A.1) and prove thai, when β→?8π⁺, either ?_β → δ _{x 0} (weakly in the sense of measures) wherex ₀ denotes and equilibrium point of a single point vortex in Λ, or ?_β converges to a smooth solution of (A.1) for β=?8π. Examples of both possibilities are given, although we are not able to solve the alternative for a given Λ. Finally, we discuss a possible connection of the present analysis with the 2-D turbulence.     

Infinite differentiability for one-dimensional spin system with long range random interaction

We consider one-dimensional spin systems with Hamiltonian: $$H\left( {\sigma _\Lambda } \right) = - \sum\limits_{t,t' \in \Lambda } {\frac{{\varepsilon _{tt'} }}{{\left| {t - t'} \right|^\alpha }}\sigma _t \sigma _{t'} - h\sum\limits_{t \in \Lambda } {\sigma _t } } $$ , where ? _tt′ are independent random variables and, using decimation and the cluster expansion, we show that, when α>3/2 andE(? _tt′ )=0, for any magnetic fieldh and inverse temperature β, the correlation functions and the free energy areC ^∞ both inh and β. Moreover we discuss an example, obtained by a particular choice of the probability distribution of the ? _tt′ 's, where the quenched magnetization isC ^∞ but fails to be analytic inh for suitableh and β.     

Asymptotics for Large Time of Global Solutions to the Generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation

We study the large time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equations $ \left\{\alignedat2 &u_t + u_{xxx} + \sigma\partial_x^{-1}u_{yy}= - (u^{\rho})_x, &;&;\qquad (t,x,y) \in {\bold R}\times {\bold R}^2,\\ \vspace{.5\jot} &u(0,x,y) = u_0 (x,y),&;&; \qquad (x,y) \in{\bold R}^2, \endalignedat \right. \TAG KP $ \left\{\alignedat2 &u_t + u_{xxx} + \sigma\partial_x^{-1}u_{yy}= - (u^{\rho})_x, &;&;\qquad (t,x,y) \in {\bold R}\times {\bold R}^2,\\ \vspace{.5\jot} &u(0,x,y) = u_0 (x,y),&;&; \qquad (x,y) \in{\bold R}^2, \endalignedat \right. \TAG KP where † = 1 or † = m 1. When „ = 2 and † = m 1, (KP) is known as the KPI equation, while „ = 2, † = + 1 corresponds to the KPII equation. The KP equation models the propagation along the x-axis of nonlinear dispersive long waves on the surface of a fluid, when the variation along the y-axis proceeds slowly [10]. The case „ = 3, † = m 1 has been found in the modeling of sound waves in antiferromagnetics [15]. We prove that if „ S 3 is an integer and the initial data are sufficiently small, then the solution u of (KP) satisfies the following estimates: ||u(t)||_￥ ￡ C (1 + |t|)^-1 (log(2+|t|))^k, ||u_x(t)||_￥ ￡ C (1 + |t|)^-1 \|u(t)\|_\infty \le C (1 + |t|)^{-1} (\log (2+|t|))^{\kappa}, \|u_x(t)\|_\infty \le C (1 + |t|)^{-1} for all t ] R, where s = 1 if „ = 3 and s = 0 if „ S 4. We also find the large time asymptotics for the solution.     

Large Time Asymptotics for the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation

We study the large time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} u_{t} + u_{xxx} + \sigma \partial_{x}^{-1}u_{yy} = -\partial_{x}u^{2}, \quad \quad (x, y) \in {\bf R}^{2}, t \in {\bf R},\\ u(0, x, y) = u_{0}( x, y), \, \quad \quad \qquad \qquad (x, y) \in {\bf R}^{2},\end{array}\right.$$ where σ = ±1 and \({\partial_{x}^{-1} = \int_{-\infty}^{x}dx^{\prime} }\) . We prove that the large time asymptotics of the derivative u _x of the solution has a quasilinear character.     

Collisional damping of transverse waves in a plasma

The effect of collisions on transverse waves in a homogeneous, field free plasma is investigated by means of Gross-Krook collision model. The dispersion relation is calculated by assuming the collision frequency to be small andKλ _D ?1. The damping rate ω _I is obtained as $$\omega _I = \frac{{\nu _{ei} }}{2}\frac{{\omega _p^2 }}{{\omega _0^2 }}\left[ {1 + \frac{{3K^2 \lambda _D^2 \omega _p^2 }}{{\omega _0^2 }} - \frac{{K^2 \lambda _D^2 \omega _p^4 }}{{\omega _0^4 }}} \right] + \frac{{\nu _{ee} }}{2}\frac{{\omega _p^2 }}{{\omega _0^2 }}\left( {\frac{{K^2 \lambda _D^2 \omega _p^2 }}{{\omega _0^2 }}} \right)$$ where ω ₀ ² =c ² K ²+ω ₂ ^p , andv _ei andv _ee are electron-ion and electron-electron collision frequency respectively.     

Neutral strange particle exclusive production in charged current high-energy antineutrino interactions

The cross section of the quasi-elastic reactions \(\bar v_\mu p \to \mu ^ + \Lambda (\Sigma ^0 )\) in the energy range 5–100 GeV is determined from Fermilab 15′ bubble chamber antineutrino data. TheQ ² analysis of quasi-elastic Λ events yieldsM _A=1.0±0.3 GeV/c² for the axial mass value. With zero µΛ K ⁰ events observed, the 90% confidence level upper limit \(\sigma (\bar v_\mu p \to \mu ^ + \Lambda {\rm K}^0 )< 2.0 \cdot 10^{ - 40} cm^2 \) is obtained. At the same time, we found that the cross section of reaction \(\bar v_\mu p \to \mu ^ + \Lambda {\rm K}^0 + m\pi ^0 \) is equal to \(\left( {3.9\begin{array}{*{20}c} { + 1.6} \\ { - 1.3} \\ \end{array} } \right) \cdot 10^{ - 40} cm^2 \) .     

Some results for SU(N) gauge-fields on the Hypertorus

We show how to prove and to understand the formula for the “Pontryagin” indexP for SU(N) gauge fields on the HypertorusT ⁴, seen as a four-dimensional euclidean box with twisted boundary conditions. These twists are defined as gauge invariant integers moduloN and labelled byN _μv (=?N _μv ). In terms of these we can write (ν∈#x2124;) $$P = \frac{1}{{16\pi ^2 }}\int {Tr(G_{\mu v} \tilde G_{\mu v} )d_4 x = v + \left( {\frac{{N - 1}}{N}} \right) \cdot \frac{{n_{\mu v} \tilde n_{\mu v} }}{4}} $$ . Furthermore we settle the last link in the proof of the existence of zero action solutions with all possible twists satisfying \(\frac{{n_{\mu v} \tilde n_{\mu v} }}{4} = \kappa (n) = 0(\bmod N)\) for arbitraryN.     

Uniqueness and the global Markov property for Euclidean fields: The case of general exponential interaction

The uniqueness and the global Markov property for the regular Gibbs measure corresponding to the interaction $$U_\Lambda (\varphi ): = \lambda \int\limits_\Lambda {d_2 x\int {d\varrho (\alpha ):e^{\alpha \varphi } :_0 (x)} } $$ [forλ>0,d?(α) a probability measure with support in \(( - 2\sqrt {\pi ,} 2\sqrt \pi )\) ] is proved.     

Additivity of the entropy and definition of the temperature for quantum systems

A closed quantum systemL is considered which is described by a microcanonical ensemble.L consists of two rather weakly interacting subsystemsL ₁,L ₂. In a rigorous way, the additivity of the entropy is proved by deriving an expression for the entropy density ofL in terms of the entropy densities ofL ₁ andL ₂. Rigorous implies that the thermodynamic limit is taken. In the second part, it is shown how a microcanonical state of the composite system — provided this limit exists — gives rise to a canonical state , when restricted toL ₁, providedL ₁ is very small as compared toL ₂; is defined as a limit of Gibbs states. This yields a definition of the equilibrium temperature ^–1.On leave of absence from the Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Göttingen.

Partial wave amplitudes for ³ P ₀, ³ F ₃, ³ D ₃ and ³ G ₃ exhibit a behaviour very similar to resonances observed in Crystal Barrel data.

Critical Edge Behavior and the Bessel to Airy Transition in the Singularly Perturbed Laguerre Unitary Ensemble

In this paper, we study the singularly perturbed Laguerre unitary ensemble $$\frac{1}{Z_n} ({\rm det}\,\, M)^\alpha e^{- {\rm tr}\, V_t(M)}dM, \qquad \alpha > 0,$$ with \({V_t(x) = x + t/x,\,\, x \in (0,+\infty)}\) and t >  0. Due to the effect of t/x for varying t, the eigenvalue correlation kernel has a new limit instead of the usual Bessel kernel at the hard edge 0. This limiting kernel involves \({\psi}\) -functions associated with a special solution to a new third-order nonlinear differential equation, which is then shown to be equivalent to a particular Painlevé III equation. The transition of this limiting kernel to the Bessel and Airy kernels is also studied when the parameter t changes in a finite interval (0, d]. Our approach is based on Deift–Zhou nonlinear steepest descent method for Riemann–Hilbert problems.     

Pion-pion interaction andK 2x03C0;x03C0;x03C0;-decay

The enhancement of theK _2π ⁺ -decay compared to theK _2π ⁰ -decay is discussed on the basis of the\(|\mathop {\Delta {\rm I}}\limits^ \to | = \tfrac{1}{2}\)-rule. The enhancement factor is calculated by dispersion methods which yield an expression depending only on the phase shift of the two pion system in theJ=0,I=0,2 state. This expression has been studied in the framework of simple models for the two-pion interaction in order to obtain a survey of the possibilities for the cause of the anomalous large ratioK _2π ⁺ /K _2π ⁰ . Only characteristic cases have been considered and, as far as possible, experimental results of theπ-π-interaction are taken into account.     

Localization in the ground state of a disordered array of quantum rotators

We consider the zero-temperature behavior of a disordered array of quantum rotators given by the finite-volume Hamiltonian: $$H_\Lambda = - \mathop \Sigma \limits_{x \in \Lambda } \frac{{h(x)}}{2}\frac{{\partial ^2 }}{{\partial \varphi (x)^2 }} - J\mathop \Sigma \limits_{\left\langle {x,y} \right\rangle \in \Lambda } \cos (\varphi (x) - \varphi (y))$$ , wherex,y∈Z ^d , 〈,〉 denotes nearest neighbors inZ ^d ;J>0 andh={h(x)>0,x∈Z ^d } are independent identically distributed random variables with common distributiondμ(h), satisfying ∫h ^?δ dμ(h)<∞ for some δ>0. We prove that for anym>0 it is possible to chooseJ(m) sufficiently small such that, if 0<J<J(m), for almost every choice ofh and everyx∈Z ^d the ground state correlation function satisfies $$\left\langle {\cos (\varphi (x) - \varphi (y))} \right\rangle \leqq C_{x,h,J} e^{ - m\left| {x - y} \right|} $$ for ally∈Z ^d withC _x,h,J <∞.
