Based on the formulation of Drinfel'd, Chari, and Pressley, a technique to analyze the structure of tensor products of the Yangian algebra representations is presented. We then apply the results to the $S$-matrix theory of the $G\otimes G$-invariant nonlinear $σ$-model ($G$-principal chiral model) by Ogievetsky, Reshetikhin, and Wiegmann. We show how the

We consider the flavour problem in a supersymmetric Grand Unified theory with gauged SU(6) group, where the Higgs doublets are understood as pseudo-Goldstone bosons of a larger $\SU(6)\otimes\SU(6)$ global symmetry of the Higgs superpotential. A key element of this work is that we never appeal to any flavour symmetry. One main interesting feature emerges: on

The ground state of the $\SO(2n)_{1} \times \SO(2n)_{1} \over \SO(2n)_{2}$ coset theories, perturbed by the $ϕ^{id,id}_{adj}$ operator and those of the sine-Gordon theory, for special values of the coupling constant in the attracting regime, is the same. In the first part of this paper we extend these results to the $\SO(2n-1)$ cases. In the second part, we

The tensionless limit of classical string theory may be formulated as a topological theory on the world-sheet. A vector density carries geometrical information in place of an internal metric. It is found that path-integral quantization allows for the definition of several, possibly inequivalent quantum theories. String amplitudes are constructed from vector

An extension of the Dirac procedure for the quantization of constrained systems is necessary to address certain issues that are left open in Dirac's original proposal. These issues play an important role especially in the context of non-linear, diffeomorphism invariant theories such as general relativity. Recently, an extension of the required type was p

We examine whether a minimal string model possessing the same massless spectra as the MSSM can be obtained from $Z_4$, $Z_6$ and $Z_8$ orbifold constructions. Using an anomaly cancellation condition of the target space duality symmetry, we derive allowable values of a level $k_1$ of U(1)$_Y$ for the minimal string model on the orbifolds through computer anal

Calculations of the axial-vector component to the radiative correction for superallowed Fermi $0^+ \rightarrow 0^+$ nuclear beta decay are here modified with quenched rather than free-nucleon coupling constants for the axial-vector and electromagnetic interactions with nucleons. The result increases the deduced value of $V_{ud}$ but does not restore unitarit

We use the continuum random phase approximation to describe the muon capture on C-12, O-16 and Ca-40. We reproduce the experimental total capture rates on these nuclei to better than 10% using the free nucleon weak form factors and two different residual interactions. However, the calculated rates for the same residual interactions are significantly lower th

The cross section of the reaction $^3$He$(γ,pn)p_{spec}$ in the energy range 150 - 450 MeV has been calculated in a quasifree two-body model and compared with a recent kinematically complete experiment. In comparison with free deuteron disintegration the cross section is increased by a factor of about 1.5 in reasonable agreement with the data for photon ener

Given a $C^{1+γ}$ hyperbolic Cantor set $C$, we study the sequence $C_{n,x}$ of Cantor subsets which nest down toward a point $x$ in $C$. We show that $C_{n,x}$ is asymptotically equal to an ergodic Cantor set valued process. The values of this process, called limit sets, are indexed by a Hölder continuous set-valued function defined on D. Sullivan's dua

We review the insights into black hole entropy that arise from the formulation of gravitation theory in terms of dimensional continuation. The role of the horizon area and the deficit angle of a conical singularity at the horizon as canonically conjugate dynamical variables is analyzed.

Target space symmetries are studied for orbifold compactified string theories containing Wilson line background fields. The symmetries determined are for those moduli which contribute to the string loop threshold corrections of the gauge coupling constants. The groups found are subgroups of the modular group $PSL(2, Z)$ and depend on the choice of discrete W

J. Ellis, N. Mavromatos, D. Nanopoulos

We discuss some physical aspects of our Liouville approach to non-critical strings, including the emergence of a microscopic arrow of time, effective field theories as classical ``pointer'' states in theory space, $CPT$ violation and the possible apparent non-conservation of angular momentum. We also review the application of a phenomenological param

Yang-Mills models with compact gauge group coupled to matter fields are considered. The general tools developed in a companion paper are applied to compute the local cohomology of the BRST differential $s$ modulo the exterior spacetime derivative $d$ for all values of the ghost number, in the space of polynomials in the fields, the ghosts, the antifields (=s

The vector system of linear differential equations for a field with arbitrary fractional spin is proposed using infinite-dimensional half-bounded unitary representations of the $\overline{SL(2,R)}$ group. In the case of $(2j+1)$-dimensional nonunitary representations of that group, $0<2j\in Z$, they are transformed into equations for spin-$j$ fields. A local

The main properties of indefinite Kac-Moody and Borcherds algebras, considered in a unified way as Lorentzian algebras, are reviewed. The connection with the conformal field theory of the vertex operator construction is discussed. By the folding procedure a class of subalgebras is obtained.

Electromagnetism would be a ``more unified&#39;&#39; theory if there were elementary magnetic monopoles and/or particles with both electric and magnetic charges (dyons).

We show that a recent proposal by Nambu to generate a hierarchy among Yukawa couplings in the standard model may be easily implemented in superstring models. In such models, two of the main ingredients of the Nambu proposal find a natural explanation: minimising with respect to the Yukawas amounts to a minimisation with respect to the underlying moduli field

The contributions of non-standard four-neutrino contact interactions to electroweak observables are considered at the one-loop level by using the effective quantum field theory. The analysis is done in terms of three unknown parameters: the strength of the non-standard neutrino interactions, $\tilde{F}$, an additional derivative coupling needed to renormaliz

We calculate the single spin asymmetry in the inclusive pion production in proton-proton collisions. We generate the asymmetry at the level of fragmentation function (Collins effect) by the Lund coloured string mechanism. We compare our results with the Fermilab E704 data from polarized proton-proton collisions at 200 GeV. We show that the transversely polar

We compute the photon spectrum and the rate for the decays $B(D)\to lν_lγ$ These photonic modes constitute a potentially large background for the purely leptonic decays which are used to extract the heavy meson decay constants. While the rate for $D\to l\n\g$ is small, the radiative decay in the $B$ meson case could be of comparable magnitude or even larger

Direct evaluation of the 1-loop fluctuation determinant of non-static degrees of freedom in a complete static background is advocated to be more efficient for the determination of the effective three-dimensional model of the electroweak phase transition than the one-by-one evaluation of Feynman diagrams. The relation of the couplings and fields of the effect

We present a new method of calculating scalar propagator and vertex functions in the two-loop approximation, for arbitrary masses of particles. It is based on a double integral representation, suitable for numerical evaluation. Real and imaginary parts of the diagrams are calculated separately, so that there is no need to use complex arithmetics in the numer

By treating CP-violating interaction as a perturbative term, we solve the Dirac equation in the background of electroweak bubble wall (the distorted wave Born approximation). We obtain the transmission and reflection coefficients for a chiral fermion incident from the symmetric-phase region and for the one from the broken-phase region respectively. There hol

We study polarized $e^-e^-$ scattering into $\WW$, $\WZ$ and $\ZZ$ final states within the framework of the standard model of electroweak interactions. These mechanisms for producing pairs of weak gauge bosons are potential backgrounds to new reactions beyond the realm of the standard model. At a centre-of-mass energy of 500 GeV the total cross sections are

We sketch a systematic approach to multiloop calculations. We focus on the Z-factors of a renormalizable theory and show that they can be obtained by purely algebraic methods based on power-counting and the forest structure of the divergent graphs.

A monopole creation operator is constructed: its vacuum expectation value is an order parameter for dual superconductivity in that, if different from zero it signals spontaneous breaking of the U(1) symmetry corresponding to monopole charge conservation. The operator is tested on compact U(1) gauge theory on lattice. For SU(2) gauge theory it clearly demonst

In this paper, the behavior of a spherical hole in an otherwise infinite and uniform universe is investigated. First, the Newtonian theory is developed. The concept of negative gravity, an outward gravitational force acting away from the center of the spherical hole, is presented, and the resulting expansion of the hole is investigated. Then, the same result

We determine the different possible space-time metrics inside an infinite rotating hollow cylinder with given energy density and longitudinal and azimuthal stresses, the metric outside the cylinder being chosen of the spinning cosmic string type. The solutions we obtain for various domains of values of the cylinder parameters include a space-time with topolo

With a model calculation, we demonstrate that a non-invasive measurement of intrinsic quantum Hall effect defined by the local chemical potential in a ballistic quantum wire can be achieved with the aid of a pair of voltage leads which are separated by potential barriers from the wire. Büttiker&#39;s formula is used to determine the chemical potential being

We consider the force on the end of a polymer chain being pulled through a network at velocity $v$, using computer simulations. We develop algorithms for measuring the force on the end of the chain using lattice models of polymers. Our algorithm attaches a spring to the end being pulled and uses its average extension to calculate the force. General problems

We introduce the bilingual dual-coding theory as a model for bilingual mental representation. Based on this model, lexical selection neural networks are implemented for a connectionist transfer project in machine translation. This lexical selection approach has two advantages. First, it is learnable. Little human effort on knowledge engineering is required.

John Carroll

The paper demonstrates that exponential complexities with respect to grammar size and input length have little impact on the performance of three unification-based parsing algorithms, using a wide-coverage grammar. The results imply that the study and optimisation of unification-based parsing must rely on empirical data until complexity theory can more accur

What is the role of clusters of galaxies in probing the large-scale velocity field of the universe? We investigate the distribution of peculiar velocities of clusters of galaxies in the popular low-density ($Ω=0.3$) flat Cold-Dark-Matter (CDM) cosmological model, which best fits many large-scale structure observations. An $Ω=1$ CDM model is also studied for

We present results for the two-point angular correlation function of galaxies to a limiting magnitude of r=26. The final sample is 97% complete to r=26.0, yielding 5730 galaxies over a 90.1 sq. arcmin field. The correlation function for our faint galaxies can be parameterised by a power law, $A θ^{-0.8}$, in agreement with the clustering statistics of shallo

Light element ($^6$Li, $^7$Li and $^9$Be) depletion isochrones for halo stars have been calculated with standard stellar evolution models. These models include the latest available opacities and are computed through the sub-giant branch. If $^6$Li is not produced in appreciable amounts by stellar flares, then the detection of $^6$Li in HD 84937 by Smith, Lam

If the COBE detection of CMB fluctuations is used to normalize the power spectrum of primordial density fluctuations in a cold dark matter--dominated universe, early reionization is likely to result in a substantial diminution of primordial temperature fluctuations on degree scales. I argue that the reionization may be non--Gaussian because of feedback effec

Recent observations by the ROSAT X-ray satellite of the Vela supernova remnant have revealed, in addition to the previously identified compact nebula, a nearly circular emitting region with a radius of about 4 degrees. The Vela pulsar is slightly off the center of this circular region, consistent with its measured proper motion of about 100km/s and an age of

We show that observational data for four Abell clusters of galaxies support the Gur\-za\-dyan-Kocharyan relation between the Hausdorff dimension and the dynamical properties of a galaxy system. The Hausdorff dimension is calculated using the two-point correlation function, while the dynamical parameters are estimated using available data and reasonable assum

An atlas of deep, wide-field R-band CCD images of a complete sample of distant, X-ray-selected clusters of galaxies is presented. These clusters are the 41 most distant (z>= 0.15) and most X-ray luminous (Lx >= 2x10**44 erg\s-1) clusters in the Einstein Observatory Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS) catalog that are observable from Mauna Kea (delta >

We develop a renormalized continuum field theory for a directed polymer interacting with a random medium and a single extended defect. The renormalization group is based on the operator algebra of the pinning potential; it has novel features due to the breakdown of hyperscaling in a random system. There is a second-order transition between a localized and a

We show how sum rules for the weak decays of heavy flavor hadrons can be derived as the moments of spectral distributions in the small velocity (SV) limit. This systematic approach allows us to determine corrections to these sum rules, to obtain new sum rules and it provides us with a transparent physical interpretation; it also opens a new perspective on th

In the scattering picture, thermal radiation effects may be associated with the `above barrier&#39; reflection coefficient, which comes into play because of complex turning points.

D. Kharzeev, H. Satz

The cross section for the \J~and \U~interaction with light hadrons is calculated in short-distance QCD, based on the large heavy quark mass and the resulting large energy gap to open charm or beauty. The low energy form of the cross section is determined by the gluon structure functions at large $ x$; hence it remains very small until quite high energies. Th

A Theorem due to Guillemin and Sternberg about geometric quantization of Hamiltonian actions of compact Lie groups $G$ on compact Kaehler manifolds says that the dimension of the $G$-invariant subspace is equal to the Riemann-Roch number of the symplectically reduced space. Combined with the shifting-trick, this gives explicit formulas for the multiplicities

Tim R. Morris

We investigate the Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) description of ($Z_2$ invariant) one-component scalar field theory, in the approximation in which all momentum dependence is discarded in the effective vertices. In this context we show how one can perform a systematic search for non-perturbative continuum limits without making any assumption about the for

We study some conditions for the hierarchy $m_{3/2} << M_P$ to occur naturally in a generic effective supergravity theory. Absence of fine-tuning and perturbative calculability require that the effective potential has a sliding gravitino mass and vanishing cosmological constant, up to ${\cal O}(m_{3/2}^4)$ corrections. In particular, cancellation of quadrati

The theory of reheating of the Universe after inflation is developed. The transition from inflation to the hot Universe turns out to be strongly model-dependent and typically consists of several stages. Immediately after inflation the field $ϕ$ begins rapidly rolling towards the minimum of its effective potential. Contrary to some earlier expectations, parti

We study the $O(N)$ nonlinear $σ$ model on a three-dimensional compact space $S^1 \times S^2$ (of radii $L$ and $R$ respectively) by means of large $N$ expansion, focusing on the finite size effects and conformal symmetries of this model at the critical point. We evaluate the correlation length and the Casimir energy of this model and study their dependence

We report work done with T. Jayaraman (hep-th/9405146) in this talk. In a recent paper, Hitchin introduced generalisations of the Teichmuller space of Riemann surfaces. We relate these spaces to the Teichmuller spaces of W-gravity. We show how this provides a covariant description of W-gravity and naturally leads to a Polyakov path integral prescription for

It is shown that a top mass of 174+/-17 GeV, as quoted recently by the CDF Collaboration, constrains the mixing angle between the Higgs doublets in the Minimal Supersymmmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) to: 1.2<tan beta<5.5 at the 90% C.L.. The most probable value corresponds to tan beta = 1.56; such a small value causes a large mixing in the sto

Formulae are provided to express any two-loop scalar integral with arbitrary masses and arbitrary external momenta in terms of an integral of one fairly simple function or of its derivatives.

In the Standard Model with two Higgs doublets (type II), which has a consistent trend to a flavor gauge theory and its related flavor democracy in the quark and the leptonic sectors (unlike the minimal Standard Model) when the energy of the probes increases, we impose the mixed quark-lepton flavor democracy at high ``transition&#39;&#39; energy and assume th

This may represent a possible

The equivalence theorem states that the leading part of the amplitude for a process with external longitudinally polarized vector bosons is given by the amplitude in which the longitudinal vector bosons are replaced by the corresponding pseudo-Goldstone bosons.

It is shown that a simple breaking of the subnuclear democracy leads to a successful description of the mixing between the second and third family. In the lepton channel the $ν_{μ} - ν_{τ}$ oscillations are expected to be described by a mixing angle of $2.65^ {\circ }$ which might be observed soon in neutrino experiments.

Using spherical ansatz, we construct dual equations for non-abelian gauge fields in Minkowski space. The analytically continued instanton is shown to satisfy the dual equations but assumes a more ansatz. It is not the solution of MIT second order differential equation. The symmetries of the solution function space are examined. The relevant physics is review

Recently, MIT group found a numerical solution to non-abelian gauge fields which is shown to contain non-integer topological number. Using this fact, V.V.Khoze has argued that the vacuum theta angle is zero. Here, we study this in a complimentary way--its physical respect. The key point is MIT solution has an infinite action. Using this, we prove the vacuum

We have determined chemical abundances and radial velocities for stars in the field of the zeta Sculptoris cluster.

A new Majoron model is presented within the framework of the seesaw mechanism. Its Higgs sector consists of only doublet representations and the lepton-number violation takes place at the same scale of the electroweak symmetry breaking. This model is different from the singlet- or triplet-Majoron model in several respects: it is free from the \(ρ\)-parameter

Schemes for fermion masses should predict elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix.

A new $(1,1)$-dimensional super vector bundle which exists on any super Riemann surface is described.

Discretized light-cone quantization of (3+1)-dimensional electrodynamics is discussed, with careful attention paid to the interplay between gauge choice and boundary conditions.

We discuss the importance of measuring $ρ= ReF/ImF$ at LHC to test the forward dispersion relations and local QFT. It is pointed out that at LHC we can reach a short distance domain that has not been pre-explored by QED. This is in contrast with all previous tests of the dispersion relations.

It has been shown, in the case of meson photoproduction, that the power-law falloff of these reactions can be described by lowest order (real) sum rules, at moderate momentum transfer. The phases of these processes, in this regime, are usually thought to be non-perturbative. In a sum rule framework, however, they can possibly be described by radiative correc

We calculate the transverse energy flow accompanying small $x$ deep-inelastic events and compare with recent data obtained at HERA. In the central region between the current jet and the remnants of the proton we find that BFKL leading $\ln(1/x)$ dynamics gives a distinctively large transverse energy distribution, in approximate agreement with recent data.

We present new radiative mechanisms for generating Majorana neutrino masses, within an extension of the standard model that successfully generates radiative charged lepton masses, order by order, from heavy sequential leptons. Only the new sequential neutral lepton has a right-handed partner, and its Majorana mass provides the seed for Majorana neutrino mass

We calculate the two--loop electroweak corrections to the fermionic decay width of the Higgs boson at leading order in $m_{H}$. The sum of one--loop and two--loop radiative corrections turns out to be at 6% level over the whole range of $m_{H}$ where the perturbation theory is supposed to be a sensible approximation. We show that the perturbative approach br

We discuss how higher-point QCD amplitudes may be constructed from lower point ones by imposing the factorization constraints in the limits as external momenta become collinear. As a particular example, the all-$n$ gluon one-loop amplitude with maximal helicity violation is presented. We also discuss the necessary collinear behavior of the $n$-gluon amplitud

We propose to study the behavior of complicated numerical solutions to Einstein&#39;s equations for generic cosmologies by following the geodesic motion of a swarm of test particles. As an example, we consider a cylinder of test particles initially at rest in the plane symmetric Gowdy universe on $T^3 \times R$. For a circle of test particles in the symmetry

This paper begins with a short presentation of the Bianchi IX or ``Mixmaster&#39;&#39; cosmological model, and some ways of writing the Einstein equations for it. There is then an interlude describing how I came to a study of this model, and then a report of some mostly unpublished work from a Ph.\ D. thesis of D. M. (Prakash) Chitre relating approximate sol

We consider the functional Schrodinger equation for a self interacting scalar field in an expanding geometry. By performing a time dependent scale transformation on the argument of the field we derive a functional Schrodinger equation whose hamiltonian is time independent but involves a time-odd term associated to a constraint on the expansion current. We st
