I present a detailed SUSY QCD calculation of the decay rate of the lightest Higgs boson $H^0_2$\ into two gluons, where all quarks and scalar quarks are taken within the relevant loop diagrams. I include the mixing of all the scalar partners of the left and right handed quarks and show that their contribution is more than several tens of per cent compared to

It is argued that the gauge anomalies are only the artefacts of quantum field theory when certain subtleties are not taken into account. With the Berry's phase needed to satisfy certain boundary conditions of the generating path integral, the gauge anomalies associated with homotopically nontrivial gauge transformations are shown explicitly to be elimina

The nature of Mean Field Solutions to the Equations of Motion of the Chern--Simons Landau--Ginsberg (CSLG) description of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (FQHE) is studied. Beginning with the conventional description of this model at some chemical potential $μ_0$ and magnetic field $B$ corresponding to a ``special'' filling fraction $ν=2πρ/eB=1/n$

The conformal transformation in the Einstein - Hilbert action leads to a new frame where an extra scalar degree of freedom is compensated by the local conformal-like symmetry. We write down a most general action resulting from such transformation and show that it covers both general relativity and conformally coupled to gravity scalar field as the particular

Thermodynamics is derived rigorously for the 1D supersymmetric {\it t-J} model and its SU($K,1$) generalization with inverse-square exchange. The system at low temperature is described in terms of spinons, antispinons, holons and antiholons obeying fractional statistics. They are all free and make the spin susceptibility independent of electron density, and

We develop a theory of Brownian motion of a massive particle, including the effects of inertia (Kramers' problem), in spaces with curvature and torsion. This is done by invoking the recently discovered generalized equivalence principle, according to which the equations of motion of a point particle in such spaces can be obtained from the Newton equation

Mukai's space, parametrizing simple sheaves on a K3 surface S whose numerical invariants are those of a line bundle on a curve C in S, is interpreted as a deformation of Hitchin's system on C. This is used to show that the nilpotent cone in Mukai space is Lagrangian. In rank 2, components of this nilpotent cone are described as affine bundles over sy

This paper introduces to the calculus of regular expressions a replace operator, ->, and defines a set of replacement expressions that concisely encode several alternate variations of the operation. The basic case is unconditional obligatory replacement: UPPER -> LOWER Conditional versions of replacement, such as, UPPER -> LOWER || LEFT _ RIGHT constrain the

Error-tolerant recognition enables the recognition of strings that deviate mildly from any string in the regular set recognized by the underlying finite state recognizer. Such recognition has applications in error-tolerant morphological processing, spelling correction, and approximate string matching in information retrieval. After a description of the conce

We calculate the two body Cabibbo allowed non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons $Λ_c$ and $Ξ_c$ which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. We use data on the Cabbibo favoured non-leptonic decays $Λ_c \rightarrow Λπ^{+}$ and $Λ_c \rightarrow Σ^{+} π^{0 }$ to obtain information on the form factors in the $c \rightarrow s $ transition.

We develop a new and general method to calculate the effects of \cp\ violation from extensions of the standard model on the mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis. We illustrate its applicability in the framework of two-higgs doublet models.

We prove that every 3-manifold possesses a $C^1$, volume-preserving flow with no fixed points and no closed trajectories. The main construction is a volume-preserving version of the Schweitzer plug. We also prove that every 3-manifold possesses a volume-preserving, $C^\infty$ flow with discrete closed trajectories and no fixed points (as well as a PL flow wi

Four dimensional heterotic string effective action is known to admit non-rotating electrically and magnetically charged black hole solutions. It is shown that the partition functions and entropies in both the cases are identical when these black hole solutions are related by S-duality transformations. The entropy is computed and is vanishing for each black h

A representation of a subgroup H of a finite-dimensional group G can be used to induce a nonlinear realization of G. If the nonlinearly realized symmetry is gauged, then the BRST charge can be related by a similarity transformation to the BRST charge for the gauged linear realization of H (plus a cohomologically trivial piece). It is shown that the relation

A useful connection between two-loop massive vacuum integrals and one-loop off-shell triangle diagrams with massless internal particles is established for arbitrary values of the space-time dimension n.

We calculate the semi-leptonic decays of $Λ_c$ and $Λ_b$ baryons which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. In a previous work we used data on the Cabibbo favoured non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons $Λ_c \rightarrow Λπ^{+}$ and $Λ_c \rightarrow Σ^{+} π^{0 }$ to obtain information on the form factors in the $c \rightarrow s $ transition.

Syntactic natural language parsers have shown themselves to be inadequate for processing highly-ambiguous large-vocabulary text, as is evidenced by their poor performance on domains like the Wall Street Journal, and by the movement away from parsing-based approaches to text-processing in general.

A variety of statistical methods for noun compound analysis are implemented and compared. The results support two main conclusions. First, the use of conceptual association not only enables a broad coverage, but also improves the accuracy. Second, an analysis model based on dependency grammar is substantially more accurate than one based on deepest constitue

It is shown that if there are two distinct phase transition temperatures to the hadronic phase ( as is currently favoured), then QCD demands a condensation to a weakly interacting massive glueball. This glueball then becomes a natural candidate for the cosmological dark matter. Note that this does not involve any exotic extensions beyond the Standard Model o

Some linguistic constraints cannot be effectively resolved during parsing at the location in which they are most naturally introduced. This paper shows how constraints can be propagated in a memoizing parser (such as a chart parser) in much the same way that variable bindings are, providing a general treatment of constraint coroutining in memoization.

Physical mass spectra of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in 1+1 dimensions are evaluated in the light-cone gauge with a compact spatial dimension. The supercharges are constructed and the infrared regularization is unambiguously prescribed for supercharges, instead of the light-cone Hamiltonian.

Starting with algebraic solutions, whose parameters have no specific interpretation, and then using these symmetr

I present arguments to the affect that the topological phase of string theory must be event-symmetric. This motivates a search for a universal string group for discrete strings in event-symmetric space-time which unifies space-time symmetry with internal gauge symmetry. This is partially successful but the results are incomplete and I speculate on the use of

In this paper we investigate the statistical properties of gravitational lenses for models in which a cosmological term decreases with time as $Λ\propto a^{-m}$, where $a$ is the scale factor and $m$ is a parameter ($0 \leq m < 3$). We show that for given low values of the present matter density parameter $Ω_{m0}$, there is a wide range of values for $m$ for

A generalization of the eight vertex model by means of higher spin representations of the Sklyanin algebra is investigated by the quantum inverse scattering method and the algebraic Bethe Ansatz. Under the well-known string hypothesis low-lying excited states are considered and scattering phase shifts of two physical particles are calculated. The $S$ matrix

We consider a phenomenological extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model which incorporates chaotic inflation and a radiatively generated intermediate mass scale. Initially a period of chaotic inflation is driven by a quartic potential associated with the right-handed electron sneutrino. Supersymmetry relates the quartic coupling of the inflatio

Some of the extremal black hole solutions in string theory have the same quantum numbers as the Bogomol&#39;nyi saturated elementary string states. We explore the possibility that these black holes can be identified to elementary string excitations. It is shown that stringy effects could correct the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for the black hole entropy in su

We formulate an interpretation of the theory of physical superselection sectors in terms of vertex operator algebra language. Using this formulation we give a construction of simple current from a primary semisimple element of weight one. We then prove that if a rational vertex operator algebra $V$ has a simple current $M$ satisfying certain conditions, then

The wave equations for self/anti-self conjugate Majorana-McLennan-Case $j=1/2$ and $j=1$ spinors, proposed by Ahluwalia, are re-written to covariant form. The connection with the Foldy-Nigam-Bargmann-Wightman-Wigner (FNBWW) type quantum field theory is discussed.

We consider a new action of a two-dimensional field theory interacting with gravitational field. The action is interpreted as the area of a surface imbedded into four-dimensional Mincowski target space. In addition to reparametrization invariance the new action has one extra infinite-dimensional local symmetry with a clear geometrical meaning. The special ga

Gravity coupled three--dimensional $σ$--model describing the stationary Einstein--Maxwell--dilaton system with general dilaton coupling is studied.

The {\it {gauge - fixing} } and {\it gaugeless } methods for reducing the phase space in the generalized Hamiltonian dynamics are compared with the aim to define the class of admissible gauges . In the gaugeless approach, the reduced phase space of a Hamiltonian system with the first class constraints is constructed locally, without any gauge fixing, using t

The systematic method for the conversion of first class constraints to the equivalent set of Abelian one based on the Dirac equivalence transformation is developed.

The method of constructing of extended phase space for singular theories which permits the consideration of covariant gauges without the introducing of a ghost fields, is proposed.

We quantize the Chern-Simons-Proca theory in three dimensions by using the Batalin-Tyutin Hamiltonian method, which systematically embeds second class constraint system into first class by introducing new fields in the extended phase space. As results, we obtain simultaneously the Stückelberg scalar term, which is needed to cancel the gauge anomaly due to th

I calculate heavy-light decay constants in a nonrelativistic potential model. The resulting estimate of heavy quark symmetry breaking conflicts with similar estimates from lattice QCD.

A previous approach with Fermi-Dirac distributions for fermion partons is here improved to comply with the expected low $x$ behaviour of structure functions. We are so able to get a fair description of the unpolarized and polarized structure functions of the nucleons as well as of neutrino data. We cannot reach definite conclusions, but confirm our suspicion

The supersymmetric $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ theory with minimal particle content and general soft supersymmetry breaking terms has 110 physical parameters in its flavor sector: 30 masses, 39 real mixing angles and 41 phases.

A central tenet of the new theory of gravity proposed by H. Yilmaz is the inclusion of a gravitational stress-energy tensor $-{t_μ}^ν$ along with the matter stress-energy tensor ${T_μ}^ν$ on the right hand side of the Einstein field equations. This change does not effect the Newtonian limit of the field equations since these terms are quadratic in potential

Bernard Lang defines parsing as the calculation of the intersection of a FSA (the input) and a CFG. Viewing the input for parsing as a FSA rather than as a string combines well with some approaches in speech understanding systems, in which parsing takes a word lattice as input (rather than a word string). Furthermore, certain techniques for robust parsing ca

Variations in polarization efficiency (p/A) of interstellar grains as a function of environment place vital constraints on models for the mechanism of their alignment.

We study the non-localization of extended worldsheet supersymmetry under T-duality, when the associated complex structure depends on the coordinate with respect to which duality is performed. First, the canonical transformation which implements T-duality is generalized to the supersymmetric non-linear $σ$-models. Then, we obtain the non-local object which re

We demonstrate that the main part of the observed nuclear suppression of dilepton and charmonium production, especially the x-dependence of the suppression, can be explained by the absorption of fast initial partons.

It is argued that black hole condensation can occur at conifold singularities in the moduli space of type II Calabi--Yau string vacua.

The vacuum polarization functions $\Pi(q^2)$ of charged and neutral gauge bosons which arise from top and bottom quark loops lead to important shifts in relations between electroweak parameters which can be measured with ever-increasing precision.

We explicitly show the analogy between the symmetry breaking scheme for the GUT flipped $SU(5)$ with that of the Weinberg-Salam theory of electroweak interactions.

I will argue why and how it is that precise measurements of the self-couplings of the weak vector bosons are a vista on the mechanism of symmetry breaking. Guided by what we have learnt from the present precision data, it is suggested which of the many so-called anomalous self-couplings should be given priority in future searches.

We study the nonlinear transport properties of NS (normal-superconductor) and NSN structures by means of a self-consistent microscopic description. A nonzero superfluid velocity causes the various quasiparticle channels within S to open at different voltages. The gap reduction is very sensitive to the details of quasiparticle scattering. At low temperatures,

A new one-dimensional fermion model depending on two independent interaction parameters is formulated and solved exactly by the Bethe ansatz method. The Hamiltonian of the model contains the Hubbard interaction and correlated hopping as well as pair hopping terms. The density-density and pair correlations are calculated which manifest superconducting propert

We analyze the electrical conductance $G(ϕ)$ of a two-dimensional, phase coherent structure in contact with two superconductors, which is known to be an oscillatory function of the phase difference $ϕ$ between the superconductors. It is predicted that for a metallic sample, the amplitude of oscillation is enhanced by placing a normal barrier at the interface

Predicting urban growth is important for practical reasons, and also for the challenge it presents to theoretical frameworks for cluster dynamics. Recently, the model of diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) has been applied to describe urban growth, and results in tree-like dendritic structures which have a core or ``central business district&#39;&#39; (CBD).

In this paper we will present our ongoing work on a plan-based discourse processor developed in the context of the Enthusiast Spanish to English translation system as part of the JANUS multi-lingual speech-to-speech translation system. We will demonstrate that theories of discourse which postulate a strict tree structure of discourse on either the intentiona

We have performed self-consistent calculations for first and second row atoms using a variant of density-functional theory, the optimized effective potential method, with an approximation due to Krieger, Li and Iafrate and a correlation-energy functional developed by Colle and Salvetti. The mean absolute deviation of first-row atomic ground-state energies fr
