Calculating the I = 2 Pion Scattering Length Using Tadpole Improved Clover Wilson Action on Coarse Anisotropic Lattices
In an exploratory study, using the tadpole improved clover Wilson quark action on small, coarse and anisotropic lattices, the pipi scattering length in the I = 2 channel is calculated within quenched approximation. A new method is proposed which enables us to make chiral extrapolation of our lattice results without calculating the decay constant on the lattice. Finite volume and finite lattice spacing errors are analyzed and the results are extrapolated towards the infinite volume and continuum limit. Comparisons of our lattice results with the new experiment and the results from Chiral Perturbation Theory are made. Good agreements are found. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Generalized Lüscher’s formula in multichannel baryon-baryon scattering
In this paper, L\"uscher's formula is generalized to the case of two spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles in two-channel scattering based on Ref. \cite{Li:2012bi}. This is first done in a non-relativistic quantum mechanics model and then generalized to quantum field theory. 
We show that L\"uscher's formula obtained from these two different methods are equivalent up to terms that are exponentially suppressed in the box size. This formalism can be readily applied to future lattice QCD calculations.

A heavy Higgs particle in the TeV mass range
Abstract The first simulation results are presented on Higgs mass calculations in the spontaneously broken phase of the Higgs sector in the minimal Standard Model with higher derivative regulator. A heavy Higgs particle is found in the TeV mass range in the presence of a complex conjugate ghost pair at higher energies. The ghost pair evades easy experimental detection and a nonperturbative reinterpretation of the triviality Higgs mass bound becomes necessary.

Pure gauge glueballs at finite temperature
Pure gauge glueballs at finite temperature are investigated in a large temperature range from 0:3Tc to 1:9Tc on anisotropic lattices. Optimized glueball operators are used to obtain better signals. It is found in all 20 symmetry channels that the pole masses MG of glueballs remain almost constants when the temperature approaches the critical temperature Tc from below, and start to reduce gradually with the temperature going above Tc. The glueball correlators in 0 ++ , 0 i+ , and 2 ++ channels, are also analyzed based on the Breit-Wigner ansatz by assuming a thermal width Γ to the pole mass ω0. While ω0's are insensitive to T in the whole temperature range, Γ's exhibit distinct behavior below and above Tc: They are only few percents of ω0 when T Tc and reach values of roughly Γ » ω0=2 at T … 1:9Tc.

Mean-field calculations for the three-dimensional Holstein model
The electron-phonon Holstein model is studied in three spatial dimensions. It is argued that this model can be used to account for major features of the high-Tc BaPb1-xBixO3 and BaxK1-xBiO3 systems. Mean-field calculations are performed via a path integral representation of the model. Charge-density-wave order parameters and transition temperatures are obtained.

Confronting Heavy Tau Neutrinos with Neutrino Oscillations
If the tau neutrino is as heavy as 10 MeV which may have certain astrophysical implications, the neutrino mass pattern is studied so as to accommodate the new oscillation observations. It predicts that the electron neutrino has Marjorana mass around 0.05 eV. A supersymmetric model is described to realize the above scenario.

Algebraic cobordism of filtered vector bundles on varieties: Notes on a work of Lee and Pandharipande
The construction of double point cobordism groups of vector bundles on varieties in the work [Lee-P] (arXiv:1002.1500 [math.AG]) of Yuan-Pin Lee and Rahul Pandharipande gives immediately double point cobordism groups of filtered vector bundles on varieties. We note also that among the four basic operations – direct sum, tensor product, dual, and Hom – on vector bundles on varieties, only taking dual is compatible with double point cobordisms of vector bundles on varieties in general, by a demonstration on an example of vector bundles on Calabi-Yau 3-folds. A question on refined and/or higher algebraic cobordisms of vector bundles on varieties is posed in the end.

Decay Widths of Excited Heavy Mesons from Quantum Chromodynamics Sum Rules in the Infinite Mass Limit
The widths for pionic decays of the lowest two excited doublets (0(+), 1(+)) and (1(+), 2(+)) of heavy mesons are studied with quantum Chromodynamics sum rules in the heavy quark effective theory. The interpolating currents used allow us to distinguish the two 1(+) states without contamination in the infinite mass Limit. The soft pion approximation is not used in the calculations.

MINOS anomaly as a signal of Lorentz violation
Recently, the MINUS Collaboration reported an anomaly that the mass-squared difference and mixing angle of (v) over bar (mu) (v) over bar (tau) are both different from that of (v) over bar (mu) (v) over bar (tau) . In this Letter, based on the framework of neutrino oscillations, terms that break the Lorentz symmetry are used as perturbation to explain this anomaly and satisfactory results are got. Remarkably, some surprising conclusions, one of which is that in the high energy limit (hundreds of GeV) neutrino oscillation pattern will be independent of energy, are also arrived.

Note on the slope parameter of the baryonic Lambda(b) ---> Lambda(c) Isgur-Wise function
Abstract Using the framework of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory we have re-analyzed the Isgur–Wise function describing semileptonic Λ b → Λ c decays in the QCD sum rule approach. The slope parameter of the Isgur–Wise function is found to be ρ 2 = 1.35 ± 0.13 , which is consistent with an experimental measurement and a lattice calculation. To O ( 1 / m b , 1 / m c ) of the heavy quark expansion the integrated Λ b decay width is used to extract the CKM matrix element V c b for which we obtain a value of | V c b | = 0.041 ± 0.004 ± 0.001 in excellent agreement with the value of | V c b | determined from semileptonic B → D ∗ decays.
