dS/CFT correspondence from the Brick Wall method

We research the entropy of a black hole in curved space-times by 't Hooft`s approach, so-called the brick wall method. One of these space-time, a asymptotically dS space-time has two physical horizons; one is a black hole horizon and the other is a cosmological horizon. The others have only one horizon, a black hole horizon. Using this model, we calculate all thermodynamic quantities containing the background geometric effect and show that entropy is proportional to area of each boundary. Furthermore, we show that the Cardy-Verlinde formula can be rederived from the physical quantities of the brick wall method and this fact becomes a evidence of the dS/CFT correspondence.

Zero Modes and the Atiyah-Singer Index in Noncommutative Instantons

We study the bosonic and fermionic zero modes in noncommutative instanton backgrounds based on the ADHM construction. In k instanton background in U(N) gauge theory, we show how to explicitly construct 4Nk (2Nk) bosonic (fermionic) zero modes in the adjoint representation and 2k (k) bosonic (fermionic) zero modes in the fundamental representation from the ADHM construction. The number of fermionic zero modes is also shown to be exactly equal to the Atiyah-Singer index of the Dirac operator in the noncommutative instanton background. We point out that (super)conformal zero modes in non-BPS instantons are affected by the noncommutativity. The role of Lorentz symmetry breaking by the noncommutativity is also briefly discussed to figure out the structure of U(1) instantons.

Propagators in Noncommutative Instantons

We explicitly construct Green functions for a field in an arbitrary representation of gauge group propagating in noncommutative instanton backgrounds based on the ADHM construction. The propagators for spinor and vector fields can be constructed in terms of those for the scalar field in noncommutative instanton background. We show that the propagators in the adjoint representation are deformed by noncommutativity while those in the fundamental representation have exactly the same form as the commutative case.

Radiative Correctionsin Noncommutative QED

We study the radiative corrections of the noncommutative QED at the one-loop level. A correction of the magnetic dipole moment due to the noncommutativity are evaluated. As in the ordinary QED, IR divergence is shown to vanish when we combine both the tree level Bremsstrahlung diagram and the one-loop electron vertex function.

$CP^{1}$ model with Hopf term and fractional spin statistics

We reconsider the $CP^{1}$ model with the Hopf term by using the Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin (BFT) scheme, which is an improved version of the Dirac quantization method. We also perform a semi-classical quantization of the topological charge Q sector by exploiting the collective coordinates to explicitly show the fractional spin statistics.

Noncommutative Instantons on R^2_{NC} x R^2_C

We study U(1) and U(2) noncommutative instantons on R^2_{NC} x R^2_C based on the ADHM construction. It is shown that a mild singularity in the instanton solutions for both self-dual and anti-self-dual gauge fields always disappears in gauge invariant quantities and thus physically regular solutions can be constructed even though any projected states are not involved in the ADHM construction. Furthermore the instanton number is also an integer.

Comments on Instantons on Noncommutative R^4

We study U(1) and U(2) instanton solutions on noncommutative R^4 based on the noncommutative version of ADHM equation proposed by Nekrasov and Schwarz. It is shown that the anti-self-dual gauge fields on self-dual noncommutative R^4 correctly give integer instanton numbers for all cases we consider. We also show that the completeness relation in the ADHM construction is generally satisfied even for noncommutative spaces.

Noncommutative field theory description of quantum Hall skyrmions

We revisit the quantum Hall system with no Zeeman splitting energy using the noncommutative field theory. We analyze the BPS condition for the delta-function interaction near the filling factor $ν=1$. Multi-skyrmions are shown to saturate the BPS bounds. The dimension of the moduli space of $k$ skyrmions is $4k+2$. Advantage of the noncommutative field description is demonstrated through the derivation of the effective nonlinear $σ$ model Lagrangian.

The CP(n) Model on Noncommutative Plane

We construct the consistent CP(n) model on noncommutative plane. The Bogomolny bound on the energy is saturated by (anti-)self-dual solitons with integer topological charge, which is independent of their scaling and orientation. This integer quantization is satisfied for our general solutions, which turns out regular everywhere. We discuss the possible implication of our result to the instanton physics in Yang-Mills theories on noncommutative R^4.

Twisted Bundles on Noncommutative $T^4$ and D-brane Bound States

We construct twisted quantum bundles and adjoint sections on noncommutative $T^4$, and investigate relevant D-brane bound states with non-Abelian backgrounds. We also show that the noncommutative $T^4$ with non-Abelian backgrounds exhibits SO$(4,4|Z)$ duality and via this duality we get a Morita equivalent $T^4$ on which only D0-branes exist. For a reducible non-Abelian background, the moduli space of D-brane bound states in Type II string theory takes the form $\prod_a (T^4)^{q_a}/S_{q_a}$.

N=8 SCFT and M Theory on AdS_4 x RP^7

We study M theory on $AdS_4 \times \RP^7$ corresponding to 3 dimensional ${\cal N}=8$ superconformal field theory which is the strong coupling limit of 3 dimensional super Yang-Mills theory. For SU(N) theory, a wrapped M5 brane on $\RP^5$ can be interpreted as baryon vertex. For $SO(N)/Sp(2N)$ theory, by using the property of (co-)homology of $\RP^7$, we classify various wrapping branes and consider domain walls and the baryon vertex.

Maxwell Chern-Simons Solitons from Type IIB String Theory

We study various three-dimensional supersymmetric Maxwell Chern-Simons solitons by using type IIB brane configurations. We give a systematic classification of soliton spectra such as topological BPS vortices and nontopological vortices in $\mathcal{N}=2,3$ supersymmetric Maxwell Chern-Simons system via the branes of type IIB string theory. We identify the brane configurations with the soliton spectra of the field theory and obtain a nice agreement with field theory aspects. We also discuss possible brane constructions for BPS domain wall solutions.

Maximum Mass of Boson Star Formed by Self-Interacting Scalar Fields

We make analytic derivation for maximum masses of stable boson stars formed by scalar fields with any higher order self-interactions and show that those are equivalent to numerical results. It is shown that the contribution of the higher order self-interaction terms to the maximum mass decreases as $(m/M_p)^2$ power.

Moduli Space Dimensions of Multi-Pronged Strings

The numbers of bosonic and fermionic zero modes of multi-pronged strings are counted in ${\cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory and compared with those of the IIB string theory. We obtain a nice agreement for the fermionic zero modes, while our result for the bosonic zero modes differs from that obtained in the IIB string theory. The possible origin of the discrepancy is discussed

Relics of cosmological quark-hadron phase transition

We propose that the amplified density fluctuations by the vanishing sound velocity effect during the cosmological quark-hadron phase transition lead to quark-gluon plasma lumps decoupled from the expansion of the universe, which may evolve to quark nuggets (QNs). Assuming power-law spectrum of density fluctuations, we investigate the parameter ranges for the QNs to play the role of baryonic dark matter and give inhomogeneities which could affect big-bang nucleosynthesis within the observational bounds of CMBR anisotropy. The QNs can give the strongest constraint ever found on the spectral index.

SO/Sp Monopoles and Branes with Orientifold 3 Plane

We study BPS monopoles in 4 dimensional N=4 SO(N) and $Sp(N)$ super Yang-Mills theories realized as the low energy effective theory of $N$ (physical and its mirror) parallel D3 branes and an {\it Orientifold 3 plane} with D1 branes stretched between them in type IIB string theory. Monopoles on D3 branes give the natural understanding by embedding in SU(N) through the constraints on both the asymptotic Higgs field (corresponding to the horizontal positions of D3 branes) and the magnetic charges (corresponding to the number of D1 branes) imposed by the O3 plane. The compatibility conditions of Nahm data for monopoles for these groups can be interpreted very naturally through the D1 branes in the presence of O3 plane.

Anyonic physical observables and spin phase transition

The quantization of charged matter system coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields is analyzed in a covariant gauge fixing, and gauge invariant physical anyon operators satisfying fractional statistics are constructed in a symmetric phase, based on Dirac's recipe performed on QED. This method provides us a definite way of identifying physical spectrums free from gauge ambiguity and constructing physical anyon operators under a covariant gauge fixing. We then analyze the statistical spin phase transition in a symmetry-broken phase and show that the Higgs mechanism transmutes an anyon satisfying fractional statistics into a canonical boson, a spin 0 Higgs boson or a topologically massive photon.

Pointlike structure for super p-branes

We present an efficient method to understand the p-brane dynamics in a unified framework. For this purpose, we reformulate the action for super p-branes in the form appropriate to incorporate the pointlike (parton) structure of higher dimensional p-branes and intend to interpret the p-brane dynamics as the collective dynamics of superparticles. In order to examine such a parton picture of super p-branes, we consider various superparticle configurations that can be reduced from super p-branes, especially, a supermembrane, and study the partonic structure of classical p-brane solutions.
