The quantum double in integrable quantum field theory
Various aspects of recent works of affine quantum group symmetry of integrable 2D quantum field theory are reviewed and further clarified. A geometrical meaning is given to the quantum double, and other properties of quantum groups. The S-matrix is identified with the universal R-matrix. Multiplicative presentations of the yangian double are analyzed.

Logarithmic Yangians in WZW Models
A new action of the Yangians in the WZW models is displayed. Its structure is generic and level-independent. This Yangian is the natural extension at the conformal point of the one unraveled in massive theories with current algebras. Hopefully, this new symmetry of WZW models will lead to a deeper understanding of the integrable structure of conformal field theories and their deformations.

On Root Multiplicities of Some Hyperbolic Kac–Moody Algebras
Using the coset construction, we compute the root multiplicities at level-3 for some hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebras including the basic hyperbolic extension of A11 and E10.

Spin-Charge Separation and the Spin Quantum Hall Effect
We use quantum field theory methods to study the network model for the spin quantum hall transition. When the couplings are fine tuned in a certain way, the spin and charge degrees of freedom, corresponding to the su-percurrent algebras su(2) 0 and osp(2|2) −2 respectively, completely decouple. This simpler theory is exactly solvable and some critical exponents are computed and shown to agree with the recent predictions based on percolation. The general network model is shown to be in a different universality class by identifying the attractive direction of the renormalization group flow.

Anomalous scaling in the N-point functions of a passive scalar.
A recent analysis of the 4-point correlation function of the passive scalar advected by a time-decorrelated random flow is extended to the N-point case. It is shown that all stationary-state inertial-range correlations are dominated by homogeneous zero modes of singular operators describing their evolution. We compute analytically the zero modes governing the N-point structure functions and the anomalous dimensions corresponding to them to the linear order in the scaling exponent of the 2-point function of the advecting velocity field. The implications of these calculations for the dissipation correlations are discussed.

QCD and Hadronic Interactions with Initial-State-Radiation at B-Factories
— The efforts to improve on the precision of the measurement and theoretical prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aμ have turned into a test of our understanding of the hadronic contribution to vacuum polarisation. I describe how recent measurements of hadron production in e+e− interactions with initial-state radiation provide precision measurements of the hadron cross section, and have improved on the contribution to the prediction of the value of aμ that dominates the global uncertainty.

Particle identification using the DIRC in BaBar
Abstract The Ba B ar DIRC runs extremely well at design luminosities, providing excellent PID in both ring and veto modes. Machine backgrounds expected as PEP-II goes to much higher luminosities (10 34 cm 2 ·s −1 or more) in the next 5 years will require faster data acquisition electronics and further shielding of the SOB from low energy machine produced gamma rays.
