Low-energy behavior of a quantized scalar field in the linearly expanding universe
We study positive frequency mode solutions of a massive scalar field at an initial stage in the spatially flat, linearly expanding Robertson-Walker universe. The essential point is that the initial time is taken to be small enough, but nonzero (e.g., the Planck time), and the mode is determined by a kind of WKB condition. We calculate the created particle spectrum, and show that its low-energy behavior is considerably different from the previous results.

The Renormalized Energy-Momentum Tensor In a Robertson -Walker Universe
An expectation value of the energy·momentum tensor for a massive scalar field propagating in a Robertson-\\;'alker universe is calculated by taking account of both effects caused by the particle creation and the vacuum polarization. A special case of the Chitre-Hartle universe which enables us to perform an explicit calculation is also treated.

An Infinite Number of Static Soliton Solutions to the 5D Einstein-Maxwell Equations with a Dilaton Field
We study the 5D static Einstein-Maxwell equations with a dilaton field. We develop an infinite number of solutions using a soliton technique. We study the rod structure of a two-soliton solution and show that a 5D dilatonic black ring and black hole solutions are included. Subject Index: 450, 451

Axially symmetric solution of the Einstein equation with solitons in extra dimensions
Abstract We give the solution to the higher dimensional Einstein equation with axial symmetry by using the inverse scattering method. The solution consists of two solitons in the external dimensions and any number of solitons in the internal dimensions.

De Sitter metric as a self-consistent solution of the back reaction problem
Abstract The de Sitter metric is a solution of the Einstein equation even when quantum effects of matter fields are included. However between the curvature and the cosmological constant Λ changes drastically. For some values of Λ, there are two or three solutions, while there is none in some other cases. There can be even a positive curvature solution for negative Λ. These features depend on mass and spin of matter fields and the matter-curvature coupling.

A Metric Representation of Belavin's Yang-Mills Pseudoparticle Solution and Its Relation to Some Isotropic Universe
In order to investigate a physical connection between the quantum tunneling processes (vacuum-to vacuum transition or thermal radiation) of Yang-Mills 11 •*' and gravitational" pseudoparticles, T omimatsu"'<l compared several (especially, topological) properties of the Belavin and Schwarzschild solutions with each other in terms of their Euclidean metrics. For that purpose, he transformed the Belavin solution into a metric form on the basis of Carmeli's'l formalism which describes the general theory of relativity in the form of an SL (2, C) gauge field. He showed that, of the two important topological quantities P (the Pontryagin number) and X (the Euler characteristic), P= 0 and ;: '-2 for the rewritten Belavin solution, similar to the result that P= 0 and !: ~, 2 for the Schwarzschild solution. To assure the idea that the origin of radiation with a thermal nature from both pseudoparticles is due to the fact that their x's are non-vanishing, he"b' performed a path-integral approach to the quantization of a massive scalar field in the gravitational field corresponding to Belavin' s solution. The resulting energy spectrum was an incomplete thermal one because of its non -uniform temper a ture and non -zero

New states of gauge theories on a circle
A bstractWe study a one-dimensional large-N U(N) gauge theory on a circle as a toy model of higher dimensional Yang-Mills theories at finite temperature. To investigate the profile of the thermodynamical potential in this model, we evaluate a stochastic time evolution of several states, and find that an unstable confinement phase at high temperature does not decay to a stable deconfinement phase directly. Before it reaches the deconfinement phase, it develops to several intermediate states. These states are characterised by the expectation values of the Polyakov loop operators, which wind the temporal circle different times. We reveal that these intermediate states are the saddle point solutions of the theory, and similar solutions exist in a wide class of SU(N) and U(N) gauge theories on S1 including QCD and pure Yang-Mills theories in various dimensions. We also consider a Kaluza-Klein gravity, which is the gravity dual of the one-dimensional gauge theory on a spatial S1, and show that these solutions may be related to multi black holes localised on the S1. Then we present a connection between the stochastic time evolution of the gauge theory and the dynamical decay process of a black string though the Gregory-Laflamme instability.

Investigation of Matrix Theory via Super Lie Algebra
This paper reports the investigation of a matrix model via super Lie algebra, following the proposal of L. Smolin. We consider the osp(1|32,R) nongauged matrix model and gl(1|32,R) gauged matrix model, especially paying attention to the supersymmetry and the relationship with IKKT model. This paper is based on the collaboration with the collaboration with S.Iso, H.Kawai and Y.Ohwashi.

General approach to the sign problem: Factorization method with multiple observables
The sign problem is a notorious problem, which occurs in Monte Carlo simulations of a system with the partition function whose integrand is not real positive. The basic idea of the factorization method applied on such a system is to control some observables in order to determine and sample efficiently the region of configuration space which gives important contribution to the partition function. We argue that it is crucial to choose appropriately the set of the observables to be controlled in order for the method to work successfully in a general system. This is demonstrated by an explicit example, in which it turns out to be necessary to control more than one observable. Extrapolation to large system size is possible due to the nice scaling properties of the factorized functions, and known results obtained by an analytic method are shown to be consistently reproduced.

Curved-space classical solutions of a massive supermatrix model
We investigate here a supermatrix model with a mass term and a cubic interaction. It is based on the super Lie algebra osp(1|32,R), which could play a role in the construction of the eleven-dimensional M-theory. This model contains a massive version of the IIB matrix model, where some fields have a tachyonic mass term. Therefore, the trivial vacuum of this theory is unstable. However, this model possesses several classical solutions where these fields build noncommutative curved spaces and these solutions are shown to be energetically more favorable than the trivial vacuum. In particular, we describe in details two cases, the SO(3)×SO(3)×SO(3) (three fuzzy 2-spheres) and the SO(9) (fuzzy 8-sphere) classical backgrounds.

Monte Carlo studies of the GWW phase transition in large-N gauge theories
Abstract In the study of the small ten-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole, the black hole to string transition is an important problem. In [L. Alvarez-Gaume, P. Basu, M. Marino, S.R. Wadia, Eur. Phys. J. C 48 (2006) 647 hep-th/0605041], a possible identification is made between the Gross–Witten–Wadia (GWW) type third-order large- N phase transition in the boundary gauge theory and the string-black hole transition in the bulk. In this Letter, we exhibit the existence of the GWW transition by Monte Carlo simulation in the zero mode bosonic action of the finite-temperature N = 4 SYM theory on S 3 . Exhibiting this transition in the truncated but highly non-trivial gauge theory implies that in the vicinity of the critical temperature T c , the system goes critical, and the fluctuations give rise to universal formulas derived in [L. Alvarez-Gaume, P. Basu, M. Marino, S.R. Wadia, Eur. Phys. J. C 48 (2006) 647, hep-th/0605041]. We also discuss the issue of SO ( 6 ) R -symmetry breaking.
