Probing Quintessence with Time Variation of Couplings
Creators: name: Wetterich, C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many models of quintessence predict a time variation of the fundamental constants as well as a composition-dependent gravity like long-range force mediated by the cosmon. We present bounds for the cosmon coupling to matter and radiation within a grand unified framework. The unification scale, the unified gauge coupling and the Fermi scale are allowed to vary independently. We find that the variation of the weak scale compared to the nucleon mass is severely restricted. The violation of the equivalence principle turns out to be substantially larger than in models where only the electromagnetic fine structure constant varies with time. We also show that in contrast to gravity the local cosmon field in a condensed object does not decouple from the cosmological evolution. In consequence, the cosmon interaction constitutes a possible quantitative link between cosmological observations and several areas of high precision experiments concerning the local time or space variation of couplings and tests of the equivalence principle.

description: Transits in the planetary system WASP-4 were recently found to occur 80s earlier than expected in observations from the TESS satellite. We present 22 new times of mid-transit that confirm the existence of transit timing variations, and are well fitted by a quadratic ephemeris with period decay dP/dt = -9.2 +/- 1.1 ms/yr. We rule out instrumental issues, stellar activity and the Applegate mechanism as possible causes. The light-time effect is also not favoured due to the non-detection of changes in the systemic velocity. Orbital decay and apsidal precession are plausible but unproven. WASP-4b is only the third hot Jupiter known to show transit timing variations to high confidence. We discuss a variety of observations of this and other planetary systems that would be useful in improving our understanding of WASP-4 in particular and orbital decay in general.

Parton saturation and N_part scaling of semi--hard processes in QCD

description: We argue that the suppression of high p_t hadrons discovered recently in heavy ion collisions at RHIC may be a consequence of saturation in the Color Glass Condensate. We qualitatively and semi-quantitatively describe the data, in particular, the dependence upon the number of nucleon participants. We show that if parton saturation sets in at sufficiently small energy, then in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies the cross sections of semi-hard processes should scale approximately with the number of participants, N_{part}. Our results provide a possible explanation of both the absence of apparent jet quenching at SPS energies and its presence at RHIC. Under the same assumption we predict that in semi--central and central pA (dA) collisions at collider energies the dependence of semi--hard processes on the number of participating nucleons of the nucleus will change to \sim (N_{part}^A)^{1/2}. The forthcoming data on dA collisions will provide a crucial test of this description.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the framework of superfield formalism, we demonstrate the existence of a new local, covariant, continuous and nilpotent (dual-BRST) symmetry for the BRST invariant Lagrangian density of a self-interacting two ($1 + 1$)-dimensional (2D) non-Abelian gauge theory (having no interaction with matter fields). The local and nilpotent Noether conserved charges corresponding to the above continuous symmetries find their geometrical interpretation as the translation generators along the odd (Grassmannian) directions of the four ($2 + 2)$-dimensional supermanifold.

description: We study General Freudenthal Transformations (GFT) on black hole solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar (super)gravity theories with global symmetry of type $E_7$. GFT can be considered as a 2-parameter, $a, b\in {\mathbb R}$, generalisation of Freudenthal duality: $x\mapsto x_F= a x+b\tilde{x}$, where $x$ is the vector of the electromagnetic charges, an element of a Freudenthal triple system (FTS), carried by a large black hole and $ \tilde{x}$ is its Freudenthal dual. These transformations leave the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy invariant up to a scalar factor given by $a^2\pm b^2$. For any $x$ there exists a one parameter subset of GFT that leave the entropy invariant, $a^2\pm b^2=1$, defining the subgroup of Freudenthal rotations. The Freudenthal plane defined by span$_\mathbb{R}\{x, \tilde{x}\}$ is closed under GFT and is foliated by the orbits of the Freudenthal rotations. Having introduced the basic definitions and presented their properties in detail, we consider the relation of GFT to the global sysmmetries or U-dualites in the context of supergravity. We consider explicit examples in pure supergravity, axion-dilaton theories and $N=2,D=4$ supergravities obtained from $D=5$ by dimensional reductions associated to (non-degenerate) $ reduced$ FTS's descending from cubic Jordan Algebras.

By integrating out the electron field and the nonzero bosonic Matsubara modes, we construct an effective three-dimensional field theory that is valid at distances $R\gg1/T$. As applications, we reproduce the ring-improved free energy and calculate the Debye mass to order $e^5$.

description: We propose determining |V_{ub}| from inclusive semileptonic B decay using combined cuts on the leptonic and hadronic invariant masses to eliminate the b->c background. Compared to a pure dilepton invariant mass cut, the uncertainty from unknown order (Λ_{QCD}/m_b)^3 terms in the OPE is significantly reduced and the fraction of b->u events is roughly doubled. Compared to a pure hadronic invariant mass cut, the uncertainty from the unknown light-cone distribution function of the b quark is significantly reduced. We find that |V_{ub}| can be determined with theoretical uncertainty at the 5-10% level.

String-Loop Corrected Magnetic Black Holes

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We discuss the form of the string-loop-corrected effective action obtained by compactification of the heterotic string theory on the manifold $K3\times T^2$ or on its orbifold limit and the loop-corrected magnetic black hole solutions of the equations of motion. Effective 4D theory has N=2 local supersymmetry. Using the string-loop-corrected prepotential of the N=2 supersymmetric theory, which receives corrections only from the string world sheets of torus topology, we calculate the loop corrections to the tree-level gauge couplings and solve the loop-corrected equations of motion. At the string-tree level, the effective gauge couplings decrease at small distances from the origin, and in this region string-loop corrections to the gauge couplings become important. A possibility of smearing the singularity of the tree-level supersymmetric solution with partially broken supersymmetry by quantum corrections is discussed.

description: We investigate how the presence of a localized impurity in a Bose-Einstein condensate of trapped cold atoms that interact with each other weakly and repulsively affects the profile of the condensed and excited components at zero temperature. By solving the Gross-Pitaevskii and Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations, we find that an impurity-boson contact attraction (repulsion) causes both components to change in spatial structure in such a way as to be enhanced (suppressed) around the impurity, while slightly declining (growing) in a far region from the impurity. Such behavior of the quantum depletion of the condensate can be understood by decomposing the impurity-induced change in the profile of the excited component with respect to the radial and azimuthal quantum number. A significant role of the centrifugal potential and the "hole" excitation level is thus clarified.

description: Background: The aim of the study is to know the prevalence of molar relationship in primary dentition in Saudi children.Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to record the molar relationship in 560, 2-6-year-old randomly selected Saudi children and to observe the differences between the age groups. Intra oral examination was done after consent from the parents. Molar relationship was recorded clinically.Results: 51.26% of the children had a 'flush terminal plane' molar relationship. The proportion of children with distal step molar relationship was significantly lower 35 (6.2%). 42.6% exhibits mesial step molar relation in children. Conclusions: Flush terminal Plane- the molar relationship is a most common molar relationship, and it also increases with age. Deciduous molar relationship changes as age increases. Least prevalence is distal step molar relationship.

description: Solomonomimus Schuh Figure 39
 Solomonomimus Schuh,1984:221 (n.gen.,descr.,disc.).
 TYPE SPECIES: Solomonomimus roroni Schuh, 1984, by original designation.
DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by flattened pronotal collar, distinctly shiny head, pronotum, and scutellum, large eyes occupying entire height of head in lateral view, weakly swollen posterior lobe of pronotum weakly convex in lateral view and completely obscuring mesoscutum in dorsal view, finely punctuate, nearly parallel-sided hemelytron, presence of a posterolateral swelling on corium anterior to cuneal fracture forming a lobelike process, posterior area of cuneus darker than remainder of hemelytron, broad and parallel-sided abdomen, and abdominal sternite 1 broader than long.
 Female: Unknown.
HOSTS: Unknown.
DISTRIBUTION: Solomon Islands.
 DISCUSSION: This genus is very similar externally to Ctypomiris due to the weak medial constriction and nearly parallel-sided lateral margins of the hemelytron, the nearly rectangular head (especially C. kokure), and the partial transverse hemelytral fascia. However, Ctypomiris has a distinctive endosoma with the apex bearing several spinelike processes, which do not occur in Solomonomimus. Further, the clypeus is flush with the frons in lateral view for Solomonomimus, whereas in both species of Ctypomiris the clypeus extends past the frons in lateral view and is visible dorsally.

(Figs. 1–10, Table 3)
 Egg is oval, roughly bean-shaped. Dorsal side is convex, differing from all other species studied, with attachment stalk situated medially, in longitudinal axis almost centrally, only slightly closer to posterior egg pole than to anterior pole. Lateral sides are only slightly sunken/concave longitudinally, each slanting toward ventral side. Ventral side is narrower than dorsal, merging gradually into lateral sides, without any conspicuous structures, as e.g. longitudinal ribs in Rhopalus maculatus.
In hatching, the larva forces off the pseudoperculum at anterior egg pole. Pseudoperculum is rounded, almost circular, flattened and distinctly separated by paler ring with slightly indicated ridge of different structure from surrounding chorion. Convex chorionic elevations in shape of elongated rhomboids form structure of this ridge.
Chorion is dull, with tetragonal, approximately rhomboidal convex elevations emarginated by low ridges, and with small convex central plate in each tetragon. Structure of pseudoperculum is slightly different from that of surrounding chorion; ridges demarcating elevations are less distinct.
Two micropylar processes are in longitudinal egg axis, one is on pseudoperculum close to the anterior pole of egg, the other on dorsal side close to pseudoperculum and anterior egg pole. Micropyle is distinct, larger than in Rhopalini, protruding from egg outline. It has a more complicated, S shape in lateral view, with short stem and broaden apex with single opening directed roughly anteriad.
Attachment stalk is developed as distinct chorionic structure roughly in center of dorsal egg side. It is about the same size as micropyle, cylindrical with slightly broadened apex, and surface smooth.
Egg is brown after oviposition, darkening to brown to blackish.
Measurements (in mm): length 1.23 (1.14–1.33), width 0.56 (0.51–0.60).

description: Food production and supply has been on the decline in Nigeria with a consequent impact on household food security. This study examined the influence of urban farming on household food security in Oyo State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 159 farm households in a cross-sectional survey. Structured questionnaire was used to obtain data on socio-economic characteristics, determine the food security status of urban crop farming households in the study area, and examine the effects of urban crop production on households’ food security status. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics while the statistical tools were Food Security Index (FSI) and Probit Regression Model (PRM). Results revealed that 84.9% of the respondents was male, 81.2% married. The average age, household size, and farm size were 49.6 years, 6 persons, 1.1 hectares respectively. Most (75.5%) of the respondents did not have access to consumption credit and 62.3% did not belong to any farmers association. Based on minimum daily energy requirement per adult equivalent of N230.8, 90.6% of the farm households was food secure. The PRM showed that age (β = -0.1, p<0.05), household size (β= -0.4, p<0.01) and economic efficiency (β = -61.6, p<0.05) reduced the probability of household food security while access to consumption credit (β= 1.7, p<0.05) and allocative efficiency (β = 67.9, p<0.05) increased the probability of household food security. The study concluded that urban farming significantly influence household food security.

 Sejanus biniguni Schuh, 1984: 157, figs. 499, 504, 508, 517–519 (n. sp., diag., descr., DV, MG).
 DISCUSSION: Schuh (1984) stated that he tentatively included several species within Sejanus until knowledge of the fauna of the Indo-Pacific matures and acknowledged that they may belong to other lineages despite genitalic and claw characters that are similar to congeners and the Leucophoropterini more broadly. Sejanus biniguni from Papua New Guinea is one of those taxa, and based on the results of a subfamily-level analysis (Menard et al., in press) this species has a combination of several characters that make its placement within Sejanus and Leucophoropterini problematic. First, the left paramere is unlike any Leucophoropterini, with the posterior process bent down at an angle from the base (Schuh, 1984: fig. 518), whereas all Leucophoropterini have the posterior process straight. Second, while the endosoma is C-shaped with a horsecollar–shaped secondary gonopore, it possesses spicules surrounding the secondary gonopore, while all Leucophoropterini have no elaborations around the secondary gonopore. Lastly, the coloration is unlike Sejanus, Ausejanus, and all other Leucophoropterini; Sejanus biniguni is primarily yellow with faint red longitudinal stripes on the pronotum and scutellum and has pigmentation in the form of spots on the metafemora and at the bases of the tibial spines (Schuh, 1984), whereas in all Leucophoropterini the head, thorax, and often the appendages are either dark brown or red and have unicolorous metafemoral and metatibial coloration (however, cf. Sejanus luteoelytratus for an exception).

This southernmost island of the Mariana Islands chain in Micronesia had been under U.S. Naval administration since 1898, when it was taken from Spain at the conclusion of the Spanish-American War. This thesis examines Guam under Japanese naval rule in relation to the navy's policies for Japan's South Sea Islands (Nan'yô Guntô). The South Sea Islands were the Micronesian islands occupied by Japan in 1914, and mandated-to Japan by the League of Nations in 1919. With its own notion of the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere ideology, the Navy occupied Guam and other southern areas, and attempted to establish political and economic relationships with territories and peoples under its rule. On Guam, the navy's civil administration organization, the Minseibu, was responsible for this task. The navy's goal was "organic integration" between Japan and Guam. However, the navy did not explain the measures that would provide direction and substance to "organic," although it was the navy's favourite term. To understand the terminology and actual policies, this thesis examines two major issues: the navy's pre-war policies for the South Sea Islands and its governing plans for the South Seas; and the Guam Minseibu's policy for political, economic, and cultural affairs for ruling the Chamorro people. I argue that the navy's concept of "organic" was prepared as a guiding idea for peaceful economic expansion to the south. However, it evolved according to Japan's urgent need for natural resources and became a plan for the military defence of the Pacific. With Japan's move toward aggression and shortage of defence resources, the navy's ideal of "organic" was transformed. The "organic" policy that aimed at mutual cooperation was turned into ethnic rule. This was expressed in the Guam Minseibu's rule over the Chamorros. As a result, Guam and its people were thrown into a centripetal movement toward Japan's military, society, state, and Emperor system. The navy's unique ideal was finally exposed for what it was, concentric circles of the Japanese government's Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere ideology. This is the first study to reconstruct Japanese naval administration on Guam based on government and naval documents, private records, and oral testimony, while 'taking into consideration the relationship between two different colonial entities, Guam, a U.S. territory, and the South Sea Islands, Japan's strategic area.

description: Improved possibilities to find the Higgs boson in diffractive events, having less hadronic activity, depend on whether the cross section is large enough. Based on the soft color interaction models that successfully describe diffractive hard scattering at HERA and the Tevatron, we find that only a few diffractive Higgs events may be produced at the Tevatron, but we predict a substantial rate at the LHC.

description: For a limited range of indices $p$, we obtain $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ boundedness for singular integral operators whose kernels satisfy a condition weaker than the typical Hörmander smoothness estimate. These operators are assumed to be bounded (or weakly bounded) on $L^{s}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ for some index $s$. Our estimates are obtained via interpolation from the appropriate weak-type estimates. We provide two proofs of this result. One proof is based on the Calderón-Zygmund decomposition, while the other uses ideas of Nazarov, Treil, and Volberg.

Mirror matter admixtures and isospin breaking in the ΔI=1/2 rule in Ω^- two body non-leptonic decays

description: We discuss a description of Ω^- two body non-leptonic decays based on possible, albeit tiny, admixtures of mirror matter in ordinary hadrons. The ΔI=1/2 rule enhancement is obtained as a result of isospin symmetry and, more importantly, the rather large observed deviations from this rule result from small isospin breaking. This analysis lends support to the possibility that the enhancement phenomenon observed in low energy weak interactions may be systematically described by mirror matter admixtures in ordinary hadrons.

 DISCUSSION: We were able to view images of the holotype and genitalia of this species. The overall dark brown coloration, absence of any white pigmentation along the anterior margin of the cuneus, the lack of a partial or complete transverse fascia, and the relatively large, twisted endosoma with a spinelike apical process are unlike those of any Leucophoropterini. Although Ausejanus mcdonaldi and several species of Sejanus are also nearly completely dark brown, they have a small, S- or C-shaped endosoma without an apical spine. If there is an apical spine in Leucophoropterini (e.g., S. ecnomiscos), there is some form of white pigmentation on the anterior margin of the cuneus. Sejanus leai does not possess either combination of these characters; therefore, we are placing the taxa in incertae sedis until additional characters can confirm its generic or tribal placement.

Initial growth response of three early spacing technologies in nine-year-old native Eucalyptus sieberi in East Gippsland, Victoria

description: There is potential to increase productivity from the regrowth forests of East Gippsland, Victoria by investing in more intensive silviculture. A review of literature shows that early spacing of selected stands can increase merchantable volume and decrease rotation lengths which could then increase annual yields and/ or alleviate the pressure to harvest forests with high conservation values. This sub-thesis investigates three early spacing technologies used to space nine-year-old Eucalyptus sieberi in the Cann River Forest District. The three spacing treatments included a non-selective spacing using a mechanical slasher and two treatments that removed trees using a combination of non-selective spacing with either a stem injection of herbicide or a clearing saw that physically removed trees. All treatments were compared to an unspaced control. Stocking and basal area reductions between treatments were found to be different post-treatment in 1992. This was largely due to the proportion of area selectively spaced with the mechanical slasher. There was also natural variation in stocking in the stand, however this could not be quantified due to a lack of replication across treatments. Growth over two years was analysed using Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) based on a Mixed Model for unbalanced data. There was a significant (p

description: We consider constraints on the distance, inclination and component masses in the X-ray binary GX 339--4 resulting from published works, and then construct detailed evolutionary models for the donor. From both considerations, and assuming the black-hole nature for the compact object (i.e., its mass $>3\rm{M}_{\odot}$), the possible donor mass is $\approx$0.5--$1.4\rm{M}_{\odot}$, the inclination is $\approx{40}^\circ$--$60^\circ$ and the distance is $\approx$8--12\,kpc. The corresponding mass of the compact object is $\approx$4--$11\rm{M}_{\odot}$. We then confirm a previous estimate that the theoretical conservative mass transfer rate in GX 339--4 is $\lesssim{10^{-9}}\rm{M}_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. This is $\gtrsim$10 times lower than the average mass accretion rate estimated from the long-term X-ray light curve. We show that this discrepancy can be solved in two ways. One solution invokes irradiation of the donor by X-rays from accretion, which can temporarily enhance the mass transfer rate. We found that absorption of a $\sim$1 per cent of the irradiating luminosity results in the transfer rate equal to the accretion rate. The time scale at which the transfer rate will vary is estimated to be $\sim$10 yr, which appears consistent with the observations. The other solution invokes non-conservative mass transfer. This requires that $\approx$70 per cent of the transferred mass escapes as a strong outflow and carries away the specific angular momentum comparable to that of the donor.

description: A calculation of the fluxes of primary particles arriving to the Earth's vicinity as well as those produced in the interactions of the primaries with the atmosphere is presented. The result of calculations is compared with the experimental data obtained with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS). A good agreement of calculated and measured fluxes of charged particles supports the viability of the atmospheric neutrino flux calculation.

Towards a General Theory of Quantized Fields on the Anti-de Sitter Space-Time

description: We propose a general framework for studying quantum field theory on the anti-de-Sitter space-time, based on the assumption of positivity of the spectrum of the possible energy operators. In this framework we show that the n-point functions are analytic in suitable domains of the complex AdS manifold, that it is possible to Wick rotate to the Euclidean manifold and come back, and that it is meaningful to restrict AdS quantum fields to Poincare' branes. We give also a complete characterization of two-point functions which are the simplest example of our theory. Finally we prove the existence of the AdS-Unruh effect for uniformly accelerated observers on trajectories crossing the boundary of AdS at infinity, while that effect does not exist for all the other uniformly accelerated trajectories.

(Figs. 11–16)
 Egg is elongated, rounded, more slender than eggs of Ch. schillingi and R. maculatus. Dorsal side is slightly convex, wide, without attachment stalk. Lateral sides are only slightly sunken longitudinally. Ventral side is narrower than dorsal, merging continuously into lateral sides without any special structures, such as longitudinal ribs.
In hatching, the larva forces off the pseudoperculum at anterior egg pole. Pseudoperculum is almost circular, slightly flattened and separated from surrounding chorion by pale low ridge of different structure. Chorion of this ridge with only fine tubercles to almost smooth.
Chorion is dull, with distinct low rounded tubercles in regular arrangement, surface between tubercles smooth. Structure of pseudoperculum identical with egg body.
Two micropylar processes are in longitudinal egg axis, one is on pseudoperculum close to the anterior egg pole, the other on dorsal side close to pseudoperculum and anterior egg pole. Micropyle is shaped as simple bent conical channel with single apical opening, directed dorsoposteriad or ventroposteriad. Entire micropylar process is bent posteriorly and pressed to chorion, thus appearing as a small rounded tubercle.
Egg is green after oviposition, becoming dark green-brown.
Measurements (in mm): length 1.11 (1.10–1.14), width 0.37 (0.35–0.39).

description: It is the purpose of this thesis to enunciate and prove a collection of explicit results in the theory of prime numbers. First, the problem of primes in short intervals is considered. We furnish an explicit result on the existence of primes between consecutive cubes. To prove this, we first derive an explicit version of the Riemann--von Mangoldt explicit formula. We then assume the Riemann hypothesis and improve on the known conditional explicit estimates for primes in short intervals. Using recent results on primes in arithmetic progressions, we prove two new results in additive number theory. First, we prove that every integer greater than two can be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. We then work similarly to prove that every integer greater than ten and not congruent to one modulo four can be written as the sum of the square of a prime and a square-free number. Finally, we provide new explicit results on an arcane inequality of Ramanujan. We solve the inequality completely on the assumption of the Riemann hypothesis.

description: Roy's equations, which incorporate crossing symmetry of the pion-pion scattering amplitudes, are used to resolve the present ambiguity between two solutions for the scalar-isoscalar phase shifts below 1 GeV. It is shown that the "down-flat" solution satisfies well Roy's equations and consequently crossing symmetry while the other solution called "up-flat" does not and thus should be eliminated.
