Prepotentials, Bi-linear Forms on Periods and Enhanced Gauge Symmetries in Type-II Strings

We construct a bi-linear form on the periods of Calabi-Yau spaces. These are used to obtain the prepotentials around conifold singularities in type-II strings compactified on Calabi-Yau space. The explicit construction of the bi-linear forms is achieved for the one-moduli models as well as two moduli models with K3-fibrations where the enhanced gauge symmetry is known to be observed at conifold locus. We also show how these bi-linear forms are related with the existence of flat coordinates. We list the resulting prepotentials in two moduli models around the conifold locus, which contains alpha' corrections of 4-D N=2 SUSY SU(2) Yang-Mills theory as the stringy effect.

Quantum Double-Torus

A symmetry extending the $T^2$-symmetry of the noncommutative torus $T^2_q$ is studied in the category of quantum groups. This extended symmetry is given by the quantum double-torus defined as a compact matrix quantum group consisting of the disjoint union of $T^2$ and $T^2_{q^2}$. The bicross-product structure of the polynomial Hopf algebra of the quantum double-torus is computed. The Haar measure and the complete list of unitary irreducible representations of the quantum double-torus are determined explicitly.

Experimental evidence for Shekhtman-Entin-Wohlman-Aharony (SEA) interactions in Ba2CuGe2O7

New neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering experiments on Ba2CuGe2O7 suggest that the previously suggested model for the magnetism of this material (an ideal sinusoidal spin spiral, stabilized by isotropic exchange and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions) needs to be refined. Both new and previously published experimental results can be quantitatively explained by taking into account the Shekhtman-Entin-Wohlman-Aharony (SEA) term, a special anisotropy term that was predicted to always accompany Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions in insulators. Our experimental results present the first clear evidence to that SEA interactions can lead to substantial observable effects in a real magnetic system.

Similarity and Difference between Magnetic- and Nonmagnetic-Impurity Effects in Spin-Peierls Cuprate CuGeO_3

We have measured the magnetic susceptibility of single-crystal Cu_{1-x}Ni_xGeO_3 to study doping effects of the magnetic impurity (Ni^{2+} has S=1 spin) on the inorganic spin-Peierls (SP) material CuGeO_3. We observed the disappearance of the SP transition and the abrupt increase of the Neel temperature from 2.5 to 3.4 K at x nearly equal to 0.020, which indicates the first-order phase transition between the dimerized-antiferromagnetic (D-AF) and the uniform-antiferromagnetic (U-AF) phases, as was discovered in Mg-doped (Mg^{2+} is nonmagnetic) system [T. Masuda et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 4566 (1998)]. This indicates that this transition is universal for the doping to Cu site. We also found another phase with the easy axis in the a-c plane in low x region.

The phase transition between dimerized-antiferromagnetic and uniform-antiferromagnetic phases in impurity-doped spin-Peierls cuprate CuGeO3

We discovered a first-order phase transition between dimerized-antiferromagnetic and uniform-antiferromagnetic phases in impurity-doped spin-Peierls (SP) cuprate Cu{1-x}MgxGeO3. As impurity concentration increases, linear reduction of SP transition temperature (T{SP}) and linear increase of Neel temperature (TN) are observed up to x = 0.023. At this critical concentration (xc) SP transition suddenly disappears and TN jumps discontinuously. The peak of the susceptibility at xc around TN is not so sharp as those at other concentrations, which indicates the phase separation of low and high concentration phases. These results indicate the existence of the first-order phase transition between dimerized-antiferromagnetic and uniform-antiferromagnetic long-range orders.
