Repulsion of Resonance States and Exceptional Points
Level repulsion is associated with exceptional points which are square root singularities of the energies as functions of a (complex) interaction parameter. This is also valid for resonance state energies. Using this concept it is argued that level anti-crossing (crossing) must imply crossing (anti-crossing) of the cor...

A New Calculation of the Recombination Epoch
We have developed an improved recombination calculation of H, HeI, and HeII in the early Universe which involves a line-by-line treatment of each atomic level. We find two major differences compared with previous calculations. Firstly, the ionization fraction x_e is approximately 10% smaller for redshifts <~800, due to...

Production and decays of stops, sbottoms, and staus
We present a phenomenological analysis of production and decays of stops, sbottoms, and staus in e+e- collisions with sqrt(s) = 500 - 800 GeV. We include SUSY-QCD and Yukawa coupling corrections as well as initial state radiation. We show that e- beam polarization is a powerful tool for a determination of the underlyin...

Little String Theory in a Double Scaling Limit
A double scaling limit can be defined in string theory on a Calabi-Yau (CY) manifold by approaching a point in moduli space where the CY space develops an isolated singularity and at the same time taking the string coupling to zero, while keeping a particular combination of the two parameters fixed. This leads to a dec...

Quantum Cryptography using larger alphabets
Like all of quantum information theory, quantum cryptography is traditionally based on two level quantum systems. In this letter, a new protocol for quantum key distribution based on higher dimensional systems is presented. An experimental realization using an interferometric setup is also proposed. Analyzing this prot...

The Einstein Equations on the 3-Brane World
We carefully investigate the gravitational equations of the brane world, in which all the matter forces except gravity are confined on the 3-brane in a 5-dimensional spacetime with $Z_2$ symmetry. We derive the effective gravitational equations on the brane, which reduce to the conventional Einstein equations in the lo...

We study a model of unsupervised learning where the real-valued data vectors are isotropically distributed, except for a single symmetry breaking binary direction $\bm{B}\in\{-1,+1\}^{N}$, onto which the projections have a Gaussian distribution. We show that a candidate vector $\bm{J}$ undergoing Gibbs learning in this...

Equation of motion in a scalar model of gravity
A scalar model of gravity is considered. We propose Lorentz invariant field equation $\square f = k\eta_{ab}f_{,a}f_{,b}$. The aim of this model is to get, approximately, Newton's law of gravity. It is shown that $f=-\frac 1k\ln(1-k\frac mr)$ is the unique spherical symmetric static solution of the field equation. $f$ ...

Two knots in three-space are S-equivalent if they are indistinguishable by Seifert matrices. We show that S-equivalence is generated by the doubled-delta move on knot diagrams. It follows as a corollary that a knot has trivial Alexander polynomial if and only if it can be undone by doubled-delta moves.

Minimal Entropy of States Emerging from Noisy Quantum Channels
In this paper, we consider the minimal entropy of qubit states transmitted through two uses of a noisy quantum channel, which is modeled by the action of a completely positive trace-preserving (or stochastic) map. We provide strong support for the conjecture that this minimal entropy is additive, namely that the minimu...

A Quantum Algorithm for finding the Maximum
This paper describes a quantum algorithm for finding the maximum among N items. The classical method for the same problem takes O(N) steps because we need to compare two numbers in one step. This algorithm takes O(sqrt(N)) steps by exploiting the property of quantum states to exist in a superposition of states and henc...

Lattice Gauge Theory
The status of lattice calculations in Quantum Field Theory is reviewed. A major part is devoted to recent progress in formulating exact chiral symmetry on the lattice. Another topic which has received a lot of attention is the influence of dynamical quark effects. Attempts to quantify these effects for the light hadron...

A brief review of "little string theories"
This is a brief review of the current state of knowledge on "little string theories", which are non-gravitational theories having several string-like properties. We focus on the six dimensional maximally supersymmetric "little string theories" and describe their definition, some of their simple properties, the motivati...

Local structure of In_(0.5)Ga_(0.5)As from joint high-resolution and differential pair distribution function analysis
High resolution total and indium differential atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs) for In_(0.5)Ga_(0.5)As alloys have been obtained by high energy and anomalous x-ray diffraction experiments, respectively. The first peak in the total PDF is resolved as a doublet due to the presence of two distinct bond lengths, In...

On the Snow Line in Dusty Protoplanetary Disks
The snow line, in Hayashi's (1981) model, is where the temperature of a black body that absorbed direct sunlight and re-radiated as much as it absorbed, would be 170~K. It is usually assumed that the cores of the giant planets, e.g., Jupiter, form beyond the snow line. Since Hayashi, there have been a series of more de...

Neutron Stars in Supernova Remnants
I briefly summarize some facts and ideas concerning the presence of neutron stars in Supernova remnants. While sources similar to the Crab Nebula require the presence of a central energetic object, shell-type remnants such as Cas A are compatible with the presence of neutron stars releasing a weak relativistic wind.

Zero-variance principle for Monte Carlo algorithms
We present a general approach to greatly increase at little cost the efficiency of Monte Carlo algorithms. To each observable to be computed we associate a renormalized observable (improved estimator) having the same average but a different variance. By writing down the zero-variance condition a fundamental equation de...

The Dust Content and Opacity of Actively Star-Forming Galaxies
(Abridged) We present far-infrared (FIR) photometry at 150 micron and 205 micron of eight low-redshift starburst galaxies obtained with the ISO Photometer. Five of the eight galaxies are detected in both wavebands and these data are used, in conjunction with IRAS archival photometry, to model the dust emission at lambd...

Bounds on complex eigenvalues and resonances
We obtain bounds on the complex eigenvalues of non-self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials, and also on the complex resonances of self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators. Our bounds are compared with numerical results, and are seen to provide useful information.

We present the I-band luminosity function of the red giant branch stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the data from the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey (Zaritsky, Harris & Thompson, 1997). Selecting stars in uncrowded, low-extinction regions, a discontinuity in the luminosity function is observed at I_...

Semiclassical approach to the thermodynamics of spin chains
Using the PQSCHA semiclassical method, we evaluate thermodynamic quantities of one-dimensional Heisenberg ferro- and antiferromagnets. Since the PQSCHA reduces their evaluation to classical-like calculations, we take advantage of Fisher's exact solution to get all results in an almost fully analytical way. Explicitly c...

Field Theoretical Analysis of On-line Learning of Probability Distributions
On-line learning of probability distributions is analyzed from the field theoretical point of view. We can obtain an optimal on-line learning algorithm, since renormalization group enables us to control the number of degrees of freedom of a system according to the number of examples. We do not learn parameters of a mod...
