The Rigid Backbone: A New Geometry For Percolation., Anthony Day, R. Tremblay, A.-M. Tremblay

Anthony Roy Day

It is shown that the diluted two-dimensional central-force problem belongs to a new class of percolation problems. Geometric properties such as the fractal dimension of the backbone, the correlation-length exponent, and the connectivity are completely different from those of previously studied percolation problems. Explicit calculations of the backbone and the construction of an algorithm which identifies the infinite rigid cluster clearly demonstrate the absence of singly connected bonds, the overwhelming importance of loops, and the long-range nature of the rigidity.

Quantum Electrodynamics At Finite Temperature, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein, Rw Robinett

Barry R Holstein

We present a systematic examination of finite temperature effects in quantum electrodynamics at one loop order. We calculate mass, charge, and wavefunction renormalization, demonstrate the running of the coupling constant at high temperatures, and study the renormalized vertex function and the energy momentum tensor. The confusion in the literature concerning the finite temperature corrections to the electron's magnetic moment is resolved. We also present the finite temperature effects in scalar electrodynamics. Throughout we stress the need to provide a well-defined method to observe a given quantity when interpreting the results of a calculation, and we suggest new techniques which incorporate …

Spectral Properties Of Percolating Central Force Elastic Networks, Anthony Day, R. Tremblay, A.-M. Tremblay

Anthony Roy Day

The exponent describing the low frequency spectrum of vibrations for the central force universality class is computed with both the Coherent Potential Approximation and numerical simulations. The results of both calculations agree surprisingly well.

Reanalysis Of Higgs-Boson-Exchange Models Of Cp Violation, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein

Barry R Holstein

We reexamine the value of ɛ'/ɛ in models where CP violation is due to the exchange of charged Higgs bosons. Previous work has been flawed by incorrect treatment of the chiral properties of weak amplitudes. We use the effective-chiral-Lagrangian framework to clear up these aspects. The resultant value of ɛ'/ɛ is estimated to be in the neighborhood of ɛ'/ɛ=-0.006, although this estimate could be off by a factor of two or three in either direction. This value is consistent with the present experimental bounds.

Semileptonic Hyperon Decay - A Problem For Chiral Perturbation-Theory, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein

Barry R Holstein

We study the recently computed mk2lnm2k corrections to hyperton beta decay found in chiral perturbation theory. The inclusion of these effects is not compatible with the high precision hyperon data, yielding a fit much inferior to the standard assumption of SU(3) invariance. This incompatibility of data and theory is a problem for the application of chiral perturbation theory.

Viscosity Measurements In Dilute Helium-3-Helium-4 Mixtures, George Schmiedeshoff

George Schmiedeshoff

We have measured the viscosity of a dilute mixture of 3He in 4He at temperatures from 5 to 100 mK and in magnetic fields of 0.35, 2.01 and 8.76 T using a vibrating wire viscometer. Subject to our choice of calibration function, the data at 0.35 T is in good agreement with theory. Due to an interaction of our viscometer with the magnetic field the motion of the wire at 2.01 and 8.76 T is not understood; however, the 2.01 T data can be brought into agreement with the 0.35 T data by adjusting a geometrical constant. An increase in …

On The Eigenvalue Problem For Toeplitz Matrices Generated By Rational Functions, William F. Trench

William F. Trench

We give formulas for the characteristic polynomial and eigenvectors of of $n\times n$ Toeplitz matrices generated by a formal Laurent series of a rational function $R(z)$. The formulas are in terms of a certain fixed polynomial with coefficients that are simple functions of $\lambda$ and the coefficients of $R(z)$. The complexity of the formulas is independent of $n$.
