Angular momentum mixing in a non-spherical color superconductor
We study the angular momentum mixing effects in the color superconductor with non-spherical pairing. We first clarify the concept of the angular momentum mixing with a toy model for non-relativistic and spinless fermions. Then we derive the gap equation for the polar phase of dense QCD by minimizing the CJT free energy. The solution of the gap equation consists of all angular momentum partial waves of odd parity. The corresponding free energy is found to be lower than that reported in the literature with p -wave only.

title: Effect of gauge-field fluctuations on the phase transition between normal and color-superconducting quark matter
abstract: Type-I color superconductors display a first-order phase transition due to thermal gauge-field fluctuations. We numerically evaluated the critical temperature of the first-order phase transition and the corresponding discontinuity of the diquark condensate at the critical point.

title: Gauge field fluctuations and first-order phase transition in color superconductivity.
abstract: We study the gauge field fluctuations in dense quark matter and determine the temperature of the induced first-order phase transition to the color-superconducting phase in weak coupling. We find that the local approximation of the coupling between the gauge potential and the order parameter, employed in the Ginzburg-Landau theory, has to be modified by restoring the full momentum dependence of the polarization function of gluons in the superconducting phase.

title: Bosonization of lattice fermions.
abstract: For any purely fermionic system on a lattice in arbitrary space dimension we prove that there is a different but well-defined system on the same lattice, consisting of both [ital bona] [ital fide] fermions and bosons with an interaction depending on a parameter [lambda], which characterizes a same-site repulsion between particles. The energy spectrum and the scattering matrix of the former are identical to those in the finite energy sector of the latter, in the limit [lambda][r arrow][infinity] (i.e., hard-core repulsion). This general theorem is applied to a resonance-boson model in a lattice fermion system, whose solution may have relevance to high-[ital T][sub [ital c]] superconductivity.

title: A neutral two-flavor LOFF color superconductor
abstract: In this Letter we construct analytically a LOFF color superconducting state that is both color and charge neutral using the weak coupling approximation. We demonstrate that this state is free from chromomagnetic instabilities. Its relevance to the realistic quark matter at moderately high baryon density is discussed.

title: WZW model based on the extended de Sitter group
abstract: We study the WZW model based on the centrally extended 2D de Sitter algebra. We obtain the spacetime metric and its explicitly conformally flat expression. The symmetries of the spacetime are found by identifying the Killing vectors with the group generators. The energy-momentum tensor obtained from the affine-Sugawara construction agrees with that from the more conventional approach. The exact center charge agrees to one-loop order with the one-loop beta function equations. We have also studied the representations of the corresponding enveloping Virasoro algebra.

title: A neural network clustering algorithm for the ATLAS silicon pixel detector
abstract: A novel technique to identify and split clusters created by multiple charged particles in the ATLAS pixel detector using a set of artificial neural networks is presented. Such merged clusters are a common feature of tracks originating from highly energetic objects, such as jets. Neural networks are trained using Monte Carlo samples produced with a detailed detector simulation. This technique replaces the former clustering approach based on a connected component analysis and charge interpolation. The performance of the neural network splitting technique is quantified using data from proton-proton collisions at the LHC collected by the ATLAS detector in 2011 and from Monte Carlo simulations. This technique reduces the number of clusters shared between tracks in highly energetic jets by up to a factor of three. It also provides more precise position and error estimates of the clusters in both the transverse and longitudinal impact parameter resolution.
