A relativistic quark model for mesons with an instanton-induced interaction

We present new results of a relativistic quark model based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation in its instantaneous approximation. Assuming a linearly rising confinement potential with an appropriate spinorial structure in Dirac space and adopting a residual interaction based on instanton effects, we can compute masses of the light mesons up to highest observed angular momenta with a natural solution of the U _A(1) problem. The calculated ground states masses and the radial excitations describe the experimental results well. In this paper, we will also discuss our results concerning numerous meson decay properties. For processes like π⁺/K ⁺↦e ⁺υ_eγ and 0^-↦γγ at various photon virtualities, we find a good agreement with experimental data. We will also comment on the form factors of the K _?3 decay and on the decay constants of the π, K and η mesons. For the sake of completeness, we will furthermore present the electromagnetic form factors of the charged π and K mesons as well as a comparison of the radiative meson decay widths with the most recent experimental data.

Elastic scattering of intermediate-energy weakly bound particles on 12C nuclei

The differential cross-section for elastic scattering of deuterons at 700 MeV, ⁶Li and ⁶He at 2.07 GeV nuclei on ¹²C nucleus is calculated under the assumption of two-cluster (for deuterons and ⁶Li) and three-cluster (for ⁶He) structure of incident particle. For ⁶Li-¹²C and ⁶He-¹²C elastic scattering it is shown that there are quantitative distinctions in the behaviour of the observables calculated in the above approaches.

The Dilute Potts Model on Random Surfaces

We present a new solution of the asymmetric two-matrix model in the large-N limit which only involves a saddle point analysis. The model can be interpreted as Ising in the presence of a magnetic field, on random dynamical lattices with the topology of the sphere (resp. the disk) for closed (resp. open) surfaces; we elaborate on the resulting phase diagram. The method can be equally well applied to a more general (Q+1)-matrix model which represents the dilute Potts model on random dynamical lattices. We discuss in particular duality of boundary conditions for open random surfaces.     

Globally coupled systems with prescribed synchronized dynamics

A system of globally coupled maps whose synchronized dynamics differs from the individual (chaotic) evolution is considered. For nonchaotic synchronized dynamics, the synchronized state becomes stable at a critical coupling intensity lower than that of the fully chaotic case. Below such critical point, synchronization is also stable in a set of finite intervals. Moreover, the system is shown to exhibit multistability, so that even when the synchronized state is stable not all the initial conditions lead to synchronization of the ensemble.

Dynamical mean-field theory of a simplified double-exchange model

Simplified double-exchange model including transfer of the itinerant electrons with spin parallel to the localized spin in the same site and the indirect interaction J of kinetic type between localized spins is comprihensively investigated. The model is exactly solved in infinite dimensions. The exact equations describing the main ordered phases (ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic) are obtained for the Bethe lattice with (z is the coordination number) in analytical form. The exact expression for the generalized paramagnetic susceptibility of the localized-spin subsystem is also obtained in analytical form. It is shown that temperature dependence of the uniform and the staggered susceptibilities has deviation from Curie-Weiss law. Dependence of Curie and Néel temperatures on itinerant-electron concentration is discussed to study instability conditions of the paramagnetic phase. Anomalous temperature behaviour of the chemical potential, the thermopower and the specific heat is investigated near the Curie point. It is found for J=0 that the system is unstable towards temperature phase separation between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states. A phase separation connected with antiferromagnetic and the paramagnetic phases can occur only at . Zero-temperature phase diagram including the phase separation between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states is given. Received 28 May 1999 and Received in final form 14 July 1999     

Three-dimensional integrable models and associated tangle invariants

In this paper we show that the Boltzmann weights of the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model give representations of the braid group if some suitable spectral limits are taken. In the trigonometric case we classify all possible spectral limits which produce braid group representations. Furthermore, we prove that for some of them we get cyclotomic invariants of links and for others we obtain tangle invariants generalizing the cyclotomic ones.     

Discrete symmetry groups of vertex models in statistical mechanics

We analyze discrete symmetry groups of vertex models in lattice statistical mechanics represented as groups of birational transformations. They can be seen as generated by involutions corresponding respectively to two kinds of transformations onq×q matrices: the inversion of theq×q matrix and an (involutive) permutation of the entries of the matrix. We show that the analysis of the factorizations of the iterations of these transformations is a precious tool in the study of lattice models in statistical mechanics. This approach enables one to analyze two-dimensionalq ⁴-state vertex models as simply as three-dimensional vertex models, or higher-dimensional vertex models. Various examples of birational symmetries of vertex models are analyzed. A particular emphasis is devoted to a three-dimensional vertex model, the 64-state cubic vertex model, which exhibits a polynomial growth of the complexity of the calculations. A subcase of this general model is seen to yield integrable recursion relations. We also concentrate on a specific two-dimensional vertex model to see how the generic exponential growth of the calculations reduces to a polynomial growth when the model becomes Yang-Baxter integrable. It is also underlined that a polynomial growth of the complexity of these iterations can occur even for transformations yielding algebraic surfaces, or higher-dimensional algebraic varieties.     

Variational approach to spin fluctuations in the Hubbard model

We study a one parameter variational wave function to improve the spin density wave ground state of the Hubbard model by inclusion of quantum spin fluctuations. Using a perturbative approach and novel lattice summation techniques we present analytical as well as numerical results for the correlation energies and the staggered magnetizations in one and two dimensions. We find ground state energies which are satisfyingly close to known exact results and are significantly lower than those of existing Gutzwiller and numerical treatments.
