A new approach to reduction of the Neumann problem in acoustic scattering to a non-hypersingular integral equation

The Neumann problem for the propagative Helmholtz equation inthe exterior of several bodies (obstacles) is studied in twoand three dimensions by a special modification of the boundaryintegral equation method. This modification can be called the'method of interior boundaries', because additional boundariesare introduced inside scattering bodies. The solution of theproblem is obtained in the form of a single layer potentialon the whole boundary. The density in the potential satisfiesthe uniquely solvable Fredholm equation of the second kind andcan be computed by standard codes. In fact our method holdsfor any positive wave numbers.     

Estimation ofv μ→v τ oscillation parameters in the E-564 hybrid experiment

The limits on the parameters of thev _μ→v _τ oscillations are obtained in the E-564 hybrid experiment: Δm ²≦4.5 eV² and sin²(2θ)≦6.0·10^?2 (90% CL). A possibility of direct observation of τ-lepton decays in the nuclear emulsion vertex detector allowed the sensitivity of this experiment to the parameters of the oscillations to be increased.     

Metal-insulator crossover in high T c cuprates: A gauge field approach

A metal-insulator crossover appears in the experimental data for in-plane resistivity of underdoped cuprates and a range of superconducting cuprates in the presence of a strong magnetic field suppressing superconductivity. We propose an explanation for this phenomenon based on a gauge field theory approach to the t-J model. In this approach, based on a formal spin-charge separation, the low energy effective action describes gapful spinons (with a theoretically derived doping dependence of the gap m _s ² ∼ δ| ln δ|) and holons with finite Fermi surface (ɛF ∼ tδ) interacting via a gauge field whose basic effect on the spinons is to bind them into overdamped spin waves, shifting their gap by a damping term linear in T, which causes the metal-insulator crossover. The presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane acts by increasing the damping, in turn producing a big positive transverse in-plane magnetoresistance at low T, as experimentally observed.
