We present self-dual spin-3 and 4 actions using relevant dreibein fields. since these actions start with a Chern-Simons like kinetic term (and therefore cannot be obtained through dimensional reduction) one might wonder whether they need the presence of auxiliary ghost-killings fields. It turns out that they must contain, also in this three dimensional case,

C. Aragone, P. J. Arias, A. Khoudeir

We present a second order gravity action which consists of ordinary Einstein action augmented by a first-order, vector like, Chern-Simons quasi topological term.This theory is ghost-free and propagates a pure spin-2 mode. It is diffeomorphism invariant, although its local Lorentz invariance has been spontaneously broken.

A scenario for the generation of the baryon asymmetry in the early Universe is proposed in which cosmic string loops, predicted by theories where the baryon and/or lepton numbers are gauged symmetries, collapse during the friction dominated period of string evolution. This provides a mechanism for the departure from thermal equilibrium necessary to have a no

In the last 20 years we have accumulated an enormous amount of data on elementary particles and their interactions. This data serves two purposes: to fix the phenomenological parameters of the Standard Model [SM] and to verify that the SM is an excellent description of nature. It is our goal to understand the origin of these many arbitrary parameters. In thi

We find a canonical $N{=}2$ superconformal algebra (SCA) in the BRST complex associated to any affine Lie algebra $\hat{\mathbf{h}}$ with $\mathbf{h}$ semisimple. In contrast with the similar known results for the Virasoro, $N{=}1$ supervirasoro, and $W_3$ algebras, this SCA does not depend on the particular "matter" representation chosen. Therefore it follo

Extended super self-dual systems have a structure reminiscent of a ``matreoshka''. For instance, solutions for N=0 are embedded in solutions for N=1, which are in turn embedded in solutions for N=2, and so on. Consequences of this phenomenon are explored. In particular, we present an explicit construction of local solutions of the higher-N super self-duality

Several aspects of fusion rings and fusion rule algebras, and of their manifestations in twodimensional (conformal) field theory, are described: diagonalization and the connection with modular invariance; the presentation in terms of quotients of polynomial rings; fusion graphs; various strategies that allow for a partial classification; and the role of the

We examine extended inflation models enhanced by the addition of a coupling between the inflaton field and the space-time curvature. We examine two types of model, where the underlying inflaton potential takes on second-order and first-order form respectively. One aim is to provide models which satisfy the solar system constraints on the Brans--Dicke paramet

T. Poeschel, H. J. Herrmann

We present a simple model for the friction of two solid bodies moving against each other. In a self consistent way we can obtain the dependence of the macroscopic friction force as a function of the driving velocity, the normal force and the ruggedness of the surfaces in contact. Our results are discussed in the context of friction laws used in earthquake mo

We introduce the notion of ortho-symplectic super triple system, and apply it to find solutions of super Yang-Baxter equation. Also, the para-statistics are formulated as a Lie-super triple system.

Hai-Yang Cheng, M. Huang, C. F. Wai

Parity-violating (pv) effects in inclusive hadron and jet productions in high energy hadron-hadron collisions are analyzed. Such effects arise from the interference between strong and weak amplitudes. This interference gives rise to a nonzero value of the pv parameters $A_L$ and $P_L$, where $A_L$ measures the difference in the inclusive cross sections of, f

We discuss the functional Schroedinger picture for fermions in external fields for both stationary and time-dependent problems. We give formal results for the ground state and the solution of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation for QED in arbitrary dimensions, while more explicit results are obtained in two dimensions. For both the massless and massive

In principle, the tensor metric (gravity-wave) perturbations that arise in inflationary models can, beyond probing the underlying inflationary model, provide information about the Universe: ionization history, presence of a cosmological constant, and epoch of matter-radiation equality. Because tensor perturbations give rise to anisotropy of the cosmic backgr

RGEs for coefficients of dim-5 operators giving rise to neutrino masses in the seesaw mechanism are written down in the SM, 2HDM and MSSM, and solved numerically. RG evolution of these coefficients modifies tree-level seesaw predictions for neutrino masses and mixing angles in SO(10)-type GUT models as strongly as quark Yukawa coupling evolution.

Aleksej V. Chechkin, Dmitrij P. Sorokin, Vladimir V. Yanovsky

For the electromagnetic fields, hydrodynamic media and turbulent flows we consider the relationship between a topological characteristic of vector fields known as helicity and the angular momentum of the medium, and discuss, in this respect, the problem of helicity and angular momentum transfer from the electromagnetic field to a medium.

Jens Johannesson, Mario Liu

We study the hydrodynamics of the A-B interface with finite curvature. The interface tension is shown to enhance both the transition velocity and the amplitudes of second sound. In addition, the magnetic signals emitted by the growing bubble are calculated, and the interaction between many growing bubbles is considered.

G. Lazarides, C. Panagiotakopoulos, Q. Shafi

We present a supersymmetric grand unification scheme based on the gauge group SU(3)_c X SU(3)_L X SU(3)_R in which the proton and the lightest supersymmetric particle are stable, neutrinos are necessarily massive, and the observed baryon asymmetry originates in the lepton sector. Such models are also consistent with the measured value of sin^2\Theta_W as wel

Martin Lavelle, David McMullan

A sufficient condition for the confinement of quarks is presented. Quarks are shown to be unobservable. Colour singlets are however, observables. The results of deep inelastic scattering are discussed. We argue that QCD does not exhibit a deconfining transition.

Dmitrij P. Sorokin, Dmitrij V. Volkov

Drawing an analogy with the Dirac theory of fermions interacting with electromagnetic and gravitational field we write down supersymmetric equations of motion and construct a superfield action for particles with spin 1/4 and 3/4 (quartions), where the role of quartion momentum in effective (2+1)--dimensional space-time is played by an abelian gauge superfiel

The properties of vortices in Josephson junction arrays are investigated in the quantum regime near the superconductor-insulator transition. We derive and study an effective action for vortex dynamics that is valid in the region where the charging energy is comparable to the Josephson coupling energy. In the superconducting phase the onset of quantum effects

P. Di Francesco, O. Aharony, S. Yankielowicz

We compute the elliptic genera of orbifolds associated with $N=2$ super--conformal theories which admit a Landau-Ginzburg description. The identification of the elliptic genera of the macroscopic Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds with those of the corresponding microscopic $N=2$ orbifolds further supports the conjectured identification of these theories. For $SU(N)$

M. Boiti, F. Pempinelli, A. Pogrebkov

The solution $u(t,x,y)$ of the Kadomtsev--Petviashvili I (KPI) equation with given initial data $u(0,x,y)$ belonging to the Schwartz space is considered. No additional special constraints, usually considered in literature, as $\int\!dx\,u(0,x,y)=0$ are required to be satisfied by the initial data. The problem is completely solved in the framework of the spec

Fractional superstrings experience new types of ``internal projections'' which alter or deform their underlying worldsheet conformal field theories. In this talk I summarize some recent results concerning both the worldsheet theory which remains after the internal projections have acted, and the spacetime statistics properties of its various sectors.

One of the possible modes suggested for detecting the Higgs particle is $pp\rightarrow ZZ\rightarrow\ell^+\ell^-\nu\bar{\nu}$, where the Higgs appears as a resonance on a Jacobian background. Unfortunately there are QCD background processes which mimic the final state and we are obliged to impose stringent kinematic cuts to remove them. However, in doing so

Eric Roddick, David Stroud

We study a model Hamiltonian for superconductivity in underdamped Josephson junction arrays in the presence of an offset voltage between the array and the substrate. We develop an approximate zero-temperature (T = 0) phase diagram as a function of Josephson coupling, charging energy, and offset voltage, using a simple Hartree-type mean-field approximation. W

The experimentally predicted existence of a proton halo in $^8$B is confirmed by dynamical microscopic multiconfiguration cluster model calculations. The thickness of the proton halo in $^8$B is 0.5 $fm$ while in $^8$Li a 0.4 $fm$ thick neutron halo has been found. It is shown that the huge quadrupole moment of $^8$B partly comes from the very distortable $^

We will summarize some aspects of the scenario of a strongly interacting symmetry breaking sector via which the longitudinal vector boson scattering becomes strong. We will examine the feasibility of observing such strong $W_L W_L$ signal at the future hadronic supercolliders.

We present results of a detailed investigation of the temperature dependence of the spatial string tension in SU(2) gauge theory. We show, for the first time, that the spatial string tension is scaling on the lattice and thus is non-vanishing in the continuum limit. It is temperature independent below Tc and rises rapidly above. For temperatures larger than

We present a string-inspired/derived supergravity model based on the flipped $SU(5)\times U(1)$ structure supplemented by a minimal set of additional matter representations such that unification occurs at the string scale ($\sim10^{18}\GeV$). This model is complemented by two string supersymmetry breaking scenaria: the $SU(N,1)$ no-scale supergravity model a

Michael Dine

We consider certain naturalness questions in supersymmetric theories. Various suggestions which give rise to squark degeneracies are reviewed. A stringy scenario, discussed by Kaplunovsky and Louis, is the only one which leads to complete degeneracy of squarks and sleptons at the high scale. Alternatives include the possible existence of a gauged non-Abelian

Using the upper bound on the effective number of light neutrino species during primordial nucleosynthesis and the cosmological pion-pole mechanism $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow \pi^0\rightarrow \gamma X$, we obtain an upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay BR$(\pi^0\rightarrow \gamma X)<3\times 10^{-13}$, where $X$ is any long-lived weakly interacting n

P. LaFrance, E. L. Lomon, M. Aw

The $NN$ scattering near inelastic threshold is sensitive to the long-range diagonal interaction in the produced isobar channel. Earlier models included meson exchange potentials in the $NN$ sector and connecting that sector to isobar channels, as well as an $R$-matrix description of short-range quark effects. Including the diagonal pion exchange contributio

The effective action on an orbifolded sphere is computed for minimally coupled scalar fields. The results are presented in terms of derivatives of Barnes zeta-functions and it is shown how these may be evaluated. Numerical values are shown.

Yigal Shamir

It is shown that an interacting theory, defined on a regular lattice, must have a vector-like spectrum if the following conditions are satisfied: (a)~locality, (b)~relativistic continuum limit without massless bosons, and (c)~pole-free effective vertex functions for conserved currents. The proof exploits the zero frequency inverse retarded propagator of an a

We consider a hierarchy of the natural type Hamiltonian systems of $n$ degrees of freedom with polynomial potentials separable in general ellipsoidal and general paraboloidal coordinates. We give a Lax representation in terms of $2\times 2$ matrices for the whole hierarchy and construct the associated linear $r$-matrix algebra with the $r$-matrix dependent o

P. Di Francesco, P. Ginsparg, J. Zinn-Justin

We review recent progress in 2D gravity coupled to $d<1$ conformal matter, based on a representation of discrete gravity in terms of random matrices. We discuss the saddle point approximation for these models, including a class of related $O(n)$ matrix models. For $d<1$ matter, the matrix problem can be completely solved in many cases by the introduction of

Andrei Linde, Dmitri Linde, Arthur Mezhlumian

We consider chaotic inflation in the theories with the effective potentials phi^n and e^{\alpha\phi}. In such theories inflationary domains containing sufficiently large and homogeneous scalar field \phi permanently produce new inflationary domains of a similar type. We show that under certain conditions this process of the self-reproduction of the Universe

A. A. Migdal

We develop the formulation of turbulence in terms of the functional integral over the phase space configurations of the vortex cells. The phase space consists of Clebsch coordinates at the surface of the vortex cells plus the Lagrange coordinates of this surface plus the conformal metric. Using the Hamiltonian dynamics we find an invariant probability distri

Gravitational collapse of the cylindrical elongated cloud is studied by numerical magnetohydrodynamical simulations. In the infinitely long cloud in hydrostatic configuration, small perturbations grow by the gravitational instability. The most unstable mode indicated by a linear perturbation theory grows selectively even from a white noise. The growth rate a

We present a complete calculation of the cross section for neutralino annihilation into the two-gluon final state. This channel can be quite important for the phenomenology of neutralino annihilation due to the well-known helicity suppression of neutralino annihilation into light quarks and leptons. In addition, we calculate the cross section for annihilatio

Alfred Hübler, David Pines

We describe the results of analytic calculations and computer simulations of adaptive predictors (predictive agents) responding to an evolving chaotic environment and to one another. Our simulations are designed to quantify adaptation and to explore co-adaptation for a simple calculable model of a complex adaptive system. We first consider the ability of a s

S. Laporta

The contributions to the $g-2$ of the muon from some eighth-order (four-loop) graphs containing one-loop and two-loop vacuum polarization insertions have been evaluated analytically in QED perturbation theory, expanding the results in the ratio of the electron to muon mass ${(m_e / m_\mu)}$. The results agree with the numerical evaluations and the asymptotic

Joseph D. Romano

As shown by Ashtekar in the mid 80's, general relativity can be extended to incorporate degenerate metrics. This extension is not unique, however, as one can change the form of the hamiltonian constraints and obtain an {\it alternative} degenerate extension of general relativity that disagrees with Ashtekar's original theory when the triads vectors are degen

R. A. Kraenkel, S. M. Kurcbart, J. G. Pereira, M. A. Manna

By using the long-wave approximation, a system of coupled evolution equations for the bulk velocity and the surface perturbations of a B\'enard-Marangoni system is obtained. It includes nonlinearity, dispersion and dissipation, and it can be interpreted as a dissipative generalization of the usual Boussinesq system of equations. As a particular case, a stric

J. Bricmont, A. Kupiainen

We prove two stability results for the scale invariant solutions of the nonlinear heat equation $\partial_t u=\Delta u - |u|^{p-1}u$ with $1<p<1+{2\over n}$, $n$ being the spatial dimension. The first result is that a small perturbation of a scale invariant solution vanishes as $t\rightarrow\infty$. The second result is global, with a positivity condition on

Johan Bijnens, Eduardo de Rafael, Hanqing Zheng

We discuss vector, axial-vector, scalar and pseudoscalar two-point functions at low and intermediate energies. We first review what is known from chiral perturbation theory, as well as from a heat kernel expansion within the context of the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (ENJL) model of ref. \cite{12}. In this work we derive then these two-point functions to all

R. Brako, ž. Crljen

We reanalyse theoretical considerations and experimental data, in an attempt to decide hether there is another scale in the fractional quantum Hall effect problem, in addition to the magnetic scale defined by the magnetic length $a_c$ or the cyclotron energy $\hbar \omega_c$. We then discuss possible implications of a new scale on the formulation of a theore

M. Matone

This is the first part of an investigation concerning the formulation of 2D gravity in the framework of the uniformization theory of Riemann surfaces. As a first step in this direction we show that the classical Liouville action appears in the expression of the correlators of topological gravity. Next we derive an inequality involving the cutoff of 2D gravit

T. D. Palev, N. I. Stoilova, J. Van der Jeugt

Explicit expressions for the generators of the quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(n/m)]$ acting on a class of irreducible representations are given. The class under consideration consists of all essentially typical representations: for these a Gel'fand-Zetlin basis is known. The verification of the quantum superalgebra relations to be satisfied is shown to reduce

D G C McKeon, a K Rebhan

In a previous paper we have shown how, for bosonic fields, the generating functional in both relativistic quantum field theory and thermal field theory can be evaluated by use of a standard quantum mechanical path integral. In this paper we extend this method to include fermionic fields. A particular problem is posed by Green's functions with external fermio

S. Vandoren, A. Van Proeyen

The Batalin--Vilkovisky (BV) formalism is a useful framework to study gauge theories. We summarize a simple procedure to find a a gauge--fixed action in this language and a way to obtain one--loop anomalies. Calculations involving the antifields can be greatly simplified by using a theorem on the antibracket cohomology. The latter is based on properties of a

CP violation in the decays $t \to \ell^+\nu b$ and $\bar t \to \ell^-\bar\nu \bar b$ from the production process $e^-e^+ \to \ttbar$ is discussed. Since the asymmetry proposed as a measure of CP violation vanishes even at the one-loop level in the Standard Model (SM), it may be a useful tool to search for sources of CP violation outside of the SM. As an illu

M. Kreuzer, A. N. Schellekens

We give a complete classification of all simple current modular invariants, extending previous results for $(\Zbf_p)^k$ to arbitrary centers. We obtain a simple explicit formula for the most general case. Using orbifold techniques to this end, we find a one-to-one correspondence between simple current invariants and subgroups of the center with discrete tors

We study on-shell and off-shell properties of the supersymmetric sinh-Gordon and perturbed SUSY Yang-Lee models using the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz and form factors. Identifying the supersymmetric models with the Eight Vertex Free Fermion Model, we derive inversion relation for inhomogeneous transfer matrix and TBA equations and get correct UV results. We o

The problems that are connected with Lagrangians which depend on higher order derivatives (namely additional degrees of freedom, unbound energy from below, etc.) are absent if effective Lagrangians are considered because the equations of motion may be used to eliminate all higher order time derivatives from the effective interaction term.

T-Duality invariant worldsheet string actions, recently written down by Schwarz and Sen, are coupled to the worldsheet gauge fields. It is shown that the integration of the dual coordinates gives the conventional, vector, axial and chiral, gauged string actions for the appropriate choice of the gauged isometries. Alternatively, the gauge field integration is

A definition of quantum mechanics on a manifold $ M $ is proposed and a method to realize the definition is presented. This scheme is applicable to a homogeneous space $ M = G / H $. The realization is a unitary representation of the transformation group $ G $ on the space of vector bundle-valued functions. When $ H \ne \{ e \} $, there exist a number of ine

We present a powerful method for calculating the thermodynamic properties of the Hubbard model in infinite dimensions, using an exact diagonalization of an Anderson model with a finite number of sites. At finite temperatures, the explicit diagonalization of the Anderson Hamiltonian allows the calculation of Green&#39;s functions with a resolution far superio

Werner Krauth, Michel Caffarel

We apply an exact diagonalization method to the the infinite-D two-band Hubbard model. The method is essentially exact for the calculation of thermodynamic properties for all but the smallest frequencies and yields a resolution unavailable in Monte Carlo calculations. We establish the instability of the normal state with respect to singlet superconductivity

Steven Weinberg

We calculate the effective action of a superconductor, without assuming that either the electron-electron potential or the Fermi surface obey rotational invariance. This approach leads to the same gap equation and equilibrium free energy as more conventional methods. The results are used to obtain the Gell-Mann - Low renormalization group equations for the e

Jouko Mickelsson

In this talk I want to explain the operator substractions needed to regularize gauge currents in a second quantized theory. The case of space-time dimension $3+1$ is considered in detail. In presence of chiral fermions the regularization effects a modification of the local commutation relations of the currents by local Schwinger terms. In $1+1$ dimensions on

Recently, a class of interaction round the face (IRF) solvable lattice models were introduced, based on any rational conformal field theory (RCFT). We investigate here the connection between the general solvable IRF models and the fusion ones. To this end, we introduce an associative algebra associated to any graph, as the algebra of products of the eigenval

R. Bijker, F. Iachello, A. Leviatan

We propose an algebraic description of the geometric structure of baryons in terms of the algebra $U(7)$. We construct a mass operator that preserves the threefold permutational symmetry and discuss a collective model of baryons with the geometry of an oblate top.

A. N. Leznov, A. V. Razumov

It is shown how the canonical symmetry is used to look for the hierarchy of the Hamiltonian operators relevant to the system under consideration. It appears that only the invariance condition can be used to solve the problem.

Kresimir Demeterfi, Joao P. Rodrigues

We derive an equation which gives the tree-level scattering amplitudes for tachyons in the black hole background using the exact states of the collective field hamiltonian corresponding to a deformed matrix model recently proposed by Jevicki and Yoneya. Using directly the symmetry algebra we obtain explicit expression for a class of amplitudes in the tree ap

We review the current status of heavy quark symmetry and its applications to weak decays of hadrons containing a single heavy quark. After an introduction to the underlying physical ideas, we discuss in detail the formalism of the heavy quark effective theory, including a comprehensive treatment of symmetry breaking corrections. We then illustrate some nonpe

We present a new scheme to extract numerically ``optimal'' interatomic potentials from large amounts of data produced by first-principles calculations. The method is based on fitting the potential to ab initio atomic forces of many atomic configurations, including surfaces, clusters, liquids and crystals at finite temperature. The extensive data set overcome

The finite form of the $N=2$ super-Weyl transformations in the chiral and twisted-chiral irreducible formulations of the two-dimensional $N=2$ superfield supergravity are found in $N=2$ superspace. The super-Weyl anomaly of the $N=2$ extended fermionic string theory is computed in terms of the $N=2$ superfields, by using a short time expansion of the $N=2$ c

We investigate the stability of large-scale structures in Burgers' equation under the perturbation of high wave-number noise in the initial conditions. Analytical estimates are obtained for random initial data with spatial spectral density k^n, n < 1. Numerical investigations are performed for the case n=0, using a parallel implementation of the Fast Legendr

W. Kerler, A. Weber

An algorithm for Monte Carlo simulations is proposed in which the parameter controlling the strength of the transition becomes a dynamical variable and in which efficient transitions are achieved by cluster steps. It allows to avoid the strongly suppressed tunneling between the phases by travelling easily via the second order region. Numerical results for th

Simulation results of Ising systems for several update rules, observables, and dimensions are analyzed. The lattice-size dependence is discussed for the autocorrelation times and for the weights of eigenvalues, giving fit results in the case of power laws. Implications of spectral properties are pointed out and the behavior of a particular observable not gov

Kenji Iohara, Feodor Malikov

We explicitly write dowm integral formulas for solutions to Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations with coefficients in non-bounded -- neither highest nor lowest weight -- $\gtsl_{n+1}$-modules. The formulas are closely related to WZNW model at a rational level.

Kenji Iohara, Feodor Malikov

We introduce and study action of quantum groups on skew polynomial rings and related rings of quotients. This leads to a ``q-deformation'' of the Gel'fand-Kirillov conjecture which we partially prove. We propose a construction of automorphisms of certain non-commutaive rings of quotients coming from complex powers of quantum group generators; this is applied

Boris Feigin, Feodor Malikov

We study a family of modules over Kac-Moody algebras realized in multi-valued functions on a flag manifold and find integral representations for intertwining operators acting on these modules. These intertwiners are related to some expressions involving complex powers of Lie algebra generators. When applied to affine Lie algebras, these expressions give inte

$CP$ violating effects in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) can lead to excessively large contributions to the neutron EDM (\dn). We write criteria which ensure that the low energy supergravity (SUGRA) parametrization of the MSSM does not require fine-tunings or large mass scales to evade the constraint from \dn, and consider the implications

Robert Crittenden, Richard L. Davis, Paul J. Steinhardt

The contribution of gravitational wave (tensor metric) and energy density (scalar metric) fluctuations to the cosmic microwave background polarization is computed by numerically solving the relativistic radiation transfer equations. We find that the tensor contribution is significant only at large angular scales (multipoles $\ell \lta 40$). For standard reco

Properties and experimental predictions of a broad class of supergravity grand unified models possessing an $SU(5)$-type proton decay and $R$ parity are described. Models of this type can be described in terms of four parameters at the Gut scale in addition to those of the Standard Model i.e. $m_o$ (universal scalar mass), $m_{1/2}$ (universal gaugino mass),

J. Dai, J. F. Gunion, R. Vega

We demonstrate that expected efficiencies and purities for $b$-tagging at SSC/LHC detectors should allow detection of at least one of the Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model in $t\anti t$~Higgs production, with Higgs$\rta b\anti b$ decay, over a substantial range of supersymmetric parameter space. In particular, with the addition of this mode to

N. J. Cornish, J. W. Moffat, D. C. Tatarski

We examine gravitational waves in an isolated axi--symmetric reflexion symmetric NGT system. The structure of the vacuum field equations is analyzed and the exact solutions for the field variables in the metric tensor are found in the form of expansions in powers of a radial coordinate. We find that in the NGT axially symmetric case the mass of the system re

The rate of the emission of the high energy low-mass dileptons from the QGP is found in the first nonvanishing order with respect to strong coupling. We base on the real-time kinetic approach [2] without an explicit assumption about a complete thermal equilibrium in the emitting system. For the class of the partons distributions which may simulate that of th

M. Freeman, P. West

We show that any covariant scattering amplitude of the $W_3$ string will contain, as part of its integrand, a factor that obeys the differential equations satisfied by an Ising model correlation function. This factor can thus be identified with such a correlation function, in agreement with a previous result of the authors. The $W_3$ string is also shown to

D. Birmingham, M. Rakowski

We analyze the subdivision properties of certain lattice gauge theories for the discrete abelian groups $Z_{p}$, in four dimensions. In these particular models we show that the Boltzmann weights are invariant under all $(k,l)$ subdivision moves, when the coupling scale is a $p$th root of unity. For the case of manifolds with boundary, we demonstrate analytic

A. Sevrin, R. Siebelink, W. Troost

Taking the induced action for gauge fields coupled to affine currents as an example, we show how loop calculations in non-local two-dimensional field theories can be regulated. Our regularisation method for one loop is based on the method of Pauli and Villars. We use it to calculate the renormalisation factors for the corresponding effective actions, clearin

W. Beenakker, A. Denner

We review the status of theoretical predictions for W-pair production at high energies. We discuss a systematic scenario towards a Monte-Carlo generator for e^+e^- --> 4f(\gamma), which meets the experimental requirements. In particular we summarize the recent developments in this field.

This paper generalizes classical results of Griffiths, Dolgachev and Steenbrink on the cohomology of hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. Given a $d$-dimensional projective simplicial toric variety $P$ and an ample hypersurface $X$ defined by an polynomial $f$ in the homogeneous coordinate ring $S$ of $P$ (as defined in an earlier paper of the first

The specific nonlinear vector $\sigma$-model coupled to Einstein gravity is investigated. The model arises in the studies of the gravitating matter in non-commutative geometry. The static spherically symmetric spacetimes are identified by direct solving of the field equations. The asymptotically flat black hole with the ``non-commutative'' vector hair appear

Mitsuko Abe, A. Nakamichi, T. Ueno

We propose a topological version of four-dimensional (Euclidean) Einstein gravity, in which anti-self-dual 2-forms and an SU(2) connection are used as fundamental fields. The theory describes the moduli space of conformally self-dual Einstein manifolds. In the presence of a cosmological constant, we evaluate the index of the elliptic complex associated with

Martin Lavelle, David McMullan

The true variables in QED are the transverse photon components and Dirac's physical electron, constructed out of the fermionic field and the longitudinal components of the photon. We calculate the propagators in terms of these variables to one loop and demonstrate their gauge invariance. The physical electron propagator is shown not to suffer from infrared d

We demonstrate that QED exhibits a previously unobserved symmetry. Some consequences are discussed.

P. F. González-Díaz

Two new exact analytical solutions of the euclidean Einstein equations for a minimal massless scalar field and negative cosmological constant have been obtained. These solutions are given in terms of Jacobian elliptic or circular functions, rather than hyperbolic functions, connect large asymptotic regions of maximally-symmetric anti-DeSitter metrics through

For a generic $\Ww$ algebra, we give an algorithmic procedure for factoring out all fields of dimension $1/2$, both bosonic and fermionic, and some fields of dimension $1$. This generalizes and makes more explicit the Goddard-Schwimmer theorem for free fermions. We also show how the induced gravity theory for the original $\Ww$ algebra containing the free fi

We discuss the process by which energy, initially evenly distributed in a nonlinear lattice, can localize itself into large amplitude excitations. We show that, the standard modulational instability mechanism, which can initiate the process by the formation of small amplitude breathers, is completed efficiently, in the presence of discreteness, by energy exc

To test a multicluster approach for halo nuclei, we give a unified description for the ground states of $^6$He and $^8$He in a model comprising an $\alpha$ cluster and single-neutron clusters. The intercluster wave function is taken a superposition of terms belonging to different arrangements, each defined by a set of Jacobi coordinates. Each term is then a

*REVISED VERSION* Two quark propagators with different analytic structure are employed in on and off mass-shell Bethe-Salpeter type equations for the pion and scalar diquark form-factors. One of the quark propagators has been calculated with the inclusion of a trivial quark-gluon vertex and, as a consequence, contains a complex conjugate pair of logarithmic

The presence of protostellar disks can greatly increase the dissipation during close stellar encounters, leading to the formation of a significant population of binaries during the initial collapse and virialization of a cluster. We have used N-body simulations of collapsing globular clusters to find the major factors that determine the efficiency of binary

A number of examples of Hamiltonian systems that are integrable by classical means are cast within the framework of isospectral flows in loop algebras. These include: the Neumann oscillator, the cubically nonlinear Schr\"odinger systems and the sine-Gordon equation.

(substantial changes to section 3.2, otherwise minor) We present an analysis of the hydrodynamic stability of a cold slab bounded by two accretion shocks. Previous numerical work has shown that when the Mach number of the shock is large the slab is unstable. Here we show that to linear order both the bending and breathing modes of such a slab are stable. How

We present partial numerical results in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with soft breaking of supersymmetry, and radiative breaking of the electroweak symmetry. We impose the additional relation, bottom mass = tau mass at the GUT scale. For the special case of the strict no-scale model, in which global supersymmetry breaking arises solely from soft

It is shown that $SL(n,R)$ KdV hierarchy can be expressed as definite nonpolynomials in Kac Moody currents and their derivatives by the action of Borel subgroup of $SL(n,R)$ on the phase space of centrally extended $sl(n,R)$ Kac Moody currents. Construction of Lax pair is shown, confirming Drinfeld Sokolov type Hamiltonian reduction. This suggests an example

A recent analysis has shown that it may be possible at the SSC to extract information about $Z'$ couplings via the decay $Z' \to jj$. This technique was found to be useful for some extended electroweak models provided the $Z'$ is relatively light. In the present paper, we generalize this procedure to the LHC and to $Z'$'s which are more massive than 1 TeV. (
