Exact classical solutions of nonlinear sigma models on supermanifolds
We study two-dimensional nonlinear sigma models with target spaces being the complex super-Grassmannian manifolds, that is, coset supermanifolds G(m, p vertical bar n, q) congruent to U(m vertical bar n)/[U(p vertical bar q) circle times U(m-p vertical bar n-q)] for 0 <= p <= m, 0 <= q <= n and 1 <= p+q. The projective superspace CPm-1 vertical bar n is a special case of p=1, q=0. For the two-dimensional Euclidean base space, a wide class of exact classical solutions (or harmonic maps) are constructed explicitly and elementarily in terms of Gramm-Schmidt orthonormalisation procedure starting from holomorphic bosonic and fermionic supervector input functions. The construction is a generalisation of the non-super-case published more than twenty years ago by one of the present authors.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Baryogenesis and asymmetric dark matter from the left–right mirror symmetric model
abstract: The paper suggests a left–right mirror symmetric model to account for the baryogenesis and asymmetric dark matter. The model can simultaneously accommodate the standard model, neutrino physics, matter–antimatter asymmetry and dark matter. In particular, it naturally and elegantly explains the origin of the baryon and dark matter asymmetries, and clearly gives the close interrelations of them. In addition, the model predicts a number of interesting results, e.g. that the cold dark matter neutrino mass is 3.1 times the proton mass. It is also feasible and promising to test the model in future experiments.

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: Solar models with revised abundances and opacities
abstract: Using reconstructed opacities, we construct solar models with low heavy-element abundance. Rotational mixing and enhanced diffusion of helium and heavy elements are used to reconcile the recently observed abundances with helioseismology. The sound speed and density of models in which the relative and absolute diffusion coefficients for helium and heavy elements have been increased agree with seismically inferred values at better than the 0.005 and 0.02 fractional levels, respectively. However, the surface helium abundance of the enhanced diffusion model is too low. The low-helium problem in the enhanced diffusion model can be solved to a great extent by rotational mixing. The surface helium and the convection zone depth of rotating model M04R3, which has a surface Z of 0.0154, agree with the seismic results at the levels of 1 sigma and 3 sigma, respectively. M04R3 is almost as good as the standard model M98. Some discrepancies between the models constructed in accord with the new element abundances and seismic constraints can be solved individually, but it seems difficult to resolve them as a whole.

title: Decay constants of the pion and B mesons with the Bethe–Salpeter equation
abstract: In this Letter, we investigate the under-structures of the π and B mesons in the framework of the Bethe–Salpeter equation with the confining effective potential (infrared modified flat bottom potential). In bare quark–gluon vertex approximation, we obtain the algebraic expressions for the solutions of the coupled rainbow Schwinger–Dyson equation and ladder Bethe–Salpeter equation. Firstly, we neglect the rainbow Schwinger–Dyson equation, take the bare quark propagator and solve the Bethe–Salpeter equation numerically alone. Although the bare quark propagator cannot embody dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and has a mass pole in the time-like region, it can give reasonable results for the values of decay constants f π and f B compared with the values of experimental data and other theoretical calculations, such as lattice simulations and QCD sum rules. Secondly, we explore those mesons within the framework of the coupled rainbow Schwinger–Dyson equation and ladder Bethe–Salpeter equation. The Schwinger–Dyson functions for the u and d quarks are greatly renormalized at small momentum region and the curves are steep at about q 2 =1 GeV 2 which indicates an explicitly dynamical symmetry breaking. The Euclidean time Fourier-transformed quark propagator has no mass poles in the time-like region which naturally implements confinement. As for the b quark, the current mass is very large, the renormalization is more tender, however, mass pole in the time-like region is also absent. The Bethe–Salpeter wavefunctions for both the π and B mesons have the same type (Gaussian type) momentum dependence as the corresponding wavefunctions with the bare quark propagator, however, the quantitative values are changed and the values for the decay constants f π and f B are changed correspondingly.
