Off-diagonal Bethe ansatz solution of the XXX spin-chain with arbitrary boundary conditions
Employing the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz method proposed recently by the present authors, we exactly diagonalize the XXX spin chain with arbitrary boundary fields. By constructing a functional relation between the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix and the quantum determinant, the associated T-Q relation and the Bethe ansatz equations are derived.

title: Off-diagonal Bethe ansatz solutions of the anisotropic spin-1/2 chains with arbitrary boundary fields
abstract: The anisotropic spin-1/2 chains with arbitrary boundary fields are diagonalized with the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz method. Based on the properties of the R-matrix and the K-matrices, an operator product identity of the transfer matrix is constructed at some special points of the spectral parameter. Combining with the asymptotic behavior (for XXZ case) or the quasi-periodicity properties (for XYZ case) of the transfer matrix, the extended T-Q ansatzes and the corresponding Bethe ansatz equations are derived.

title: Drinfeld twists and symmetric Bethe vectors of supersymmetric fermion models
abstract: We construct the Drinfeld twists (factorizing F-matrices) of the gl(m|n)-invariant fermion model. Completely symmetric representation of the pseudo-particle creation operators of the model are obtained in the basis provided by the F-matrix (the F-basis). We resolve the hierarchy of the nested Bethe vectors in the F-basis for the gl(m|n) supersymmetric model.

title: Exact solution of the Izergin-Korepin model with general non-diagonal boundary terms
abstract: A bstractThe Izergin-Korepin model with general non-diagonal boundary terms, a typical integrable model beyond A-type and without U(1)-symmetry, is studied via the offdiagonal Bethe ansatz method. Based on some intrinsic properties of the R-matrix and the K-matrices, certain operator product identities of the transfer matrix are obtained at some special points of the spectral parameter. These identities and the asymptotic behaviors of the transfer matrix together allow us to construct the inhomogeneous T − Q relation and the associated Bethe ansatz equations. In the diagonal boundary limit, the reduced results coincide exactly with those obtained via other methods.

title: Primary fields and screening currents of gl(2|2) non-unitary conformal field theory
abstract: The non-semisimple gl(2)k current superalgebra in the standard basis and the corresponding non-unitary conformal field theory are investigated. Infinite families of primary fields corresponding to all finite-dimensional irreducible typical and atypical representations of gl(212) and three (two even and one odd) screening currents of the first kind are constructed explicitly in terms of ten free fields.

title: Eigenvalues of Ruijsenaars–Schneider models associated with An−1 root system in Bethe ansatz formalism
abstract: Ruijsenaars–Schneider models associated with An−1 root system with a discrete coupling constant are studied. The eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian are given in terms of the Bethe ansatz formulas. Taking the “nonrelativistic” limit, we obtain the spectrum of the corresponding Calogero–Moser systems in the third formulas of Felder et al.

title: Fermion masses and flavor mixing in supersymmetric SO(10) model
abstract: We study fermion masses and flavor mixing in a supersymmetric SO ( 10 ) model, where 10, 120 and 126 ¯ Higgs multiplets have Yukawa couplings with matter multiplets and give masses to quarks and leptons through the breaking chain of a Pati–Salam group. This brings about that, at the GUT energy scale, the lepton mass matrices are related to the quark ones via several breaking parameters, and the small neutrino masses arise from a Type II see-saw mechanism. When evolving renormalization group equations for the fermion mass matrices from the GUT scale to the electroweak scale, in a specific parameter scenario, we show that the model can elegantly accommodate all observed values of masses and mixing for the quarks and leptons, especially, it's predictions for the bi-large mixing in the leptonic sector are very well in agreement with the current neutrino experimental data.

title: Resonance phenomena and threshold features in positron—helium scattering
abstract: Investigations of resonances and threshold behaviors in positron—helium scattering have been made using the momentum-space coupled-channels optical method. The positronium formation channels are considered via an equivalent-local complex potential. The s-wave resonances and the Wigner cusp feature at the positronium (n = 1) formation threshold are compared with the previous reports. The p- and the d-wave resonances and a Wigner cusp feature at the positronium (n = 2) formation threshold are reported for the first time.

title: The Color Excesses of Type Ia Supernovae from Single-Degenerate Channel Model
abstract: Single Degenerate model is the most widely accepted progenitor model of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), in which a carbon-oxygen white dwarf (CO WD) accretes hydrogen-rich material from a main sequence or a slightly evolved star (WD +MS) to increase its mass, and explodes when its mass approaches the Chandrasekhar mass limit. During the mass transfer phase between the two components, an optically thick wind may occur and the material lost as the wind may exist as circumstellar material (CSM). Searching the CSM around progenitor star is helpful to discriminate different progenitor models of SNe Ia. Meanwhile, the CSM is a source of color excess.The purpose of this paper is to study the color excess produced from the single-degenerate progenitor model with optically thick wind, and reproduce the distribution o f color excesses of SNe Ia. Meng et al. (2009) systemically carried out binary evolution calculation of the WD +MS systems for various metallicities and showed the parameters of the systems before Roche lobe overflow and at the moment of supernova explosion in Meng & Yang (2009). With the results of Meng et al. (2009), we calculate the color excesses of SNe Ia at maximum light via a simple analytic method.We reproduces the distribution of color excesses of SNe Ia by our binary population synthesis approach if the velocity of the optically thick wind is taken to be of order of magnitude of 10 km s −1 . However, if the wind velocity is larger than 100 km s −1 , the reproduction is bad.

title: Ground state mass spectrum for scalar diquarks with Bethe-Salpeter equation
abstract: In this article, we study the structures of the pseudoscalar mesons $\pi$, $K$ and the scalar diquarks $U^a$, $D^a$, $S^a$ in the framework of the coupled rainbow Schwinger-Dyson equation and ladder Bethe-Salpeter equation with the confining effective potential. The $u$, $d$, $s$ quarks have small current masses, and the renormalization is very large, the mass poles in the timelike region are absent which implements confinement naturally. The Bethe-Salpeter wavefunctions of the pseudoscalar mesons $\pi$, $K$ and the scalar diquarks $U^a$, $D^a$, $S^a$ have the same type (Gaussian type) momentum dependence, center around zero momentum and extend to the energy scale about $q^2=1GeV^2$ which happen to be the energy scale for the chiral symmetry breaking, the strong interactions in the infrared region result in bound (or quasi-bound) states. The numerical results for the masses and decay constants of the $\pi$, $K$ mesons can reproduce the experimental values, the ground state masses of the scalar diquarks $U^a$, $D^a$, $S^a$ are consistent with the existing theoretical calculations. We suggest a new Lagrangian which may explain the uncertainty of the masses of the scalar diquarks .

title: Grand Canonical Ensembles in General Relativity
abstract: We develop a formalism for general relativistic, grand canonical ensembles in space-times with timelike Killing fields. Using that, we derive ideal gas laws, and show how they depend on the geometry of the particular space-times. A systematic method for calculating Newtonian limits is given for a class of these space-times, which is illustrated for Kerr space-time. In addition, we prove uniqueness of the infinite volume Gibbs measure, and absence of phase transitions for a class of interaction potentials in anti-de Sitter space.
