Local Quasitriangular Hopf Algebras
We find a new class of Hopf algebras, local quasitriangular Hopf algebras, which generalize quasitriangular Hopf algebras. Using these Hopf algebras, we obtain solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation in a systematic way. The category of modules with finite cycles over a local quasitriangular Hopf algebra is a braided tensor category.

Infinite Families of Gauge-Equivalent R-Matrices and Gradations of Quantized Affine Algebras
Associated with the fundamental representation of a quantum algebra such as Uq(A1) or Uq(A2), there exist infinitely many gauge-equivalent R-matrices with different spectralparameter dependences. It is shown how these can be obtained by examining the infinitely many possible gradations of the corresponding quantum affine algebras, such as and , and explicit formulae are obtained for those two cases. Spectral-dependent similarity (gauge) transformations relate the R-matrices in different gradations, Nevertheless, the choice of gradation can be physically significant, as is illustrated in the case of quantum affine Toda field theories.

Elliptic Gaudin models and elliptic KZ equations
The Gaudin models based on the face-type elliptic quantum groups and the XYZ Gaudin models are studied. The Gaudin model Hamiltonians are constructed and are diagonalized by using the algebraic Bethe ansatz method. The corresponding face-type Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations and their solutions are given.

Construction of basis vectors for symmetric irreducible representations of O(5) $ \supset$ O(3)
Abstract.A recursive method for the construction of symmetric irreducible representations of $ O(2l+1)$ in the $ O(2l+1)\supset O(3)$ basis for identical boson systems is proposed. The formalism is realized based on the group chain $ U(2l+1)\supset U(2l-1)\otimes U(2)$ , of which the symmetric irreducible representations are simply reducible. The basis vectors for symmetric irreducible representations of the $ O(2l+1)\supset O(2l-1)\otimes U(1)$ can easily be constructed from those of U(2l + 1) $ \supset$U(2l - 1) ⊗ U(2) $ \supset$O(2l - 1) ⊗ U(1) with no l -boson pairs, namely with the total boson number exactly equal to the seniority number in the system, from which one can construct symmetric irreducible representations of $ O(2l+1)$ in the $ O(2l-1)\otimes U(1)$ basis when all symmetric irreducible representations of O(2l - 1) are known. As a starting point, basis vectors of symmetric irreducible representations of O(5) are constructed in the $ O_{1}(3)\otimes U(1)$ basis, where $ O_{1}(3)\equiv O(2l-1)$ , when l = 2 , which is generated not by the angular momentum operators of the d -boson system, but by the operators constructed from d -boson creation (annihilation) operators $ d^{\dagger}_{\mu}$ ( $ d_{\mu}$ with $ \mu=1$ , 0, -1 . Matrix representations of $ O(5)\supset O_{1}(3)\otimes U(1)$ , together with the elementary Wigner coefficients, are presented. After the angular momentum projection, a three-term relation in determining the expansion coefficients of the $ O(5)\supset O(3)$ basis vectors, where the O(3) group is generated by the angular momentum operators of the d -boson system, in terms of those of $ O_{1}(3)\otimes U(1)$ is derived. The eigenvectors of the projection matrix with zero eigenvalues constructed according to the three-term relation completely determine the basis vectors of $ O(5)\supset O(3)$ . Formulae for evaluating the elementary Wigner coefficients of $ O(5)\supset O(3)$ are derived explicitly. Analytical expressions of some elementary Wigner coefficients of $ O(5)\supset O(3)$ for the coupling $ (\tau 0)\otimes(1 0)$ with resultant angular momentum quantum number L = 2$ \tau$ + 2 - k for $ k=0,2,3,\ldots,6$ with a multiplicity 2 case for k = 6 are presented.

Determination of the Newtonian gravitational constant G with time-of-swing method.
We present a new value of the Newtonian gravitational constant G by using the time-of-swing method. Several improvements greatly reduce the uncertainties: (1) measuring the anelasticity of the fiber directly; (2) using spherical source masses minimizes the effects of density inhomogeneity and eccentricities; (3) using a quartz block pendulum simplifies its vibration modes and minimizes the uncertainty of inertial moment; (4) setting the pendulum and source masses both in a vacuum chamber reduces the error of measuring the relative positions. By two individual experiments, we obtain G = 6.673 49(18) x 10;{-11} m;{3} kg;{-1} s;{-2} with a standard uncertainty of about 2.6 parts in 10;{5}.

Radiative decays of bottomonia into charmonia and light mesons
In the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, we study the radiative decays of bottomonia into charmonia, including $\Upsilon\to \chi_{cJ}\gamma$, $\Upsilon\to \eta_c\gamma$, $\eta_b\to J/\psi\gamma$, and $\chi_{bJ}\to J/\psi\gamma$. We give predictions for their branching ratios with numerical calculations. E.g., we predict the branching ratio for $\eta_b\to J/\psi\gamma$ is about $1\times 10^{-7}$. As a phenomenological model study, we further extend our calculation to the radiative decays of bottomonia into light mesons by assuming the $f_2(1270)$, $f_2'(1525)$ and other light mesons to be described by nonrelativistic $q\bar q ~(q=u,d,s)$ bound states with constituent quark masses. The calculated branching ratios for $\Upsilon\to f_2(1270)\gamma$ and $\Upsilon\to f_2'(1525)\gamma$ are roughly consistent with the CLEO data. Comparisons with radiative decays of charmonium into light mesons such as $J/\psi\to f_2(1270)\gamma$ are also given. In all calculations the QED contributions are taken into account and found to be significant in some processes.

Effective Theory and Simple Completions for Neutrino Interactions
We consider all the dimension 6 operators as well as some simple extensions of the standard model that give new contributions to neutrino interactions with matter. Such interactions are usually parametrized by ϵ_(αβ), where α and β are neutrino flavor indices taking the values e, μ and τ. In the simple models we consider the ϵ_(αβ)'s are much more constrained than in the operator-based model-independent approach. Typically the ϵ_(αβ)'s are restricted to be smaller in magnitude than around 10^(−3). In some of the leptoquark models, a specific pattern for the leptoquark Yukawa couplings allows the diagonal element ϵ_(ττ) to be as large as ∼0.1, or one of ϵ_(ee), ϵ_(μμ)∼0.01. We discuss the interplay between neutrino physics and leptoquark searches at the LHC.

A self-gravitating Dirac–Born–Infeld global monopole
We generalize the field theory of the global monopole to the Dirac–Born–Infeld (DBI) field and investigate the gravitational property of a DBI global monopole in four-dimensional spherically symmetric spacetime. The coupled equations for the metric and the DBI scalar field are solved asymptotically and numerically. It is found that, just as for a canonical global monopole, the gravitational effect of the DBI global monopole is equivalent to that of a deficit solid angle in the metric plus a negative mass at the origin. However, compared with a canonical global monopole, for the same false vacuum and symmetry-breaking scale, a DBI global monopole has a relatively smaller core and a larger absolute value of effective mass. Thus, it can yield a larger deflect angle when the light is passing by. Especially, when the scale of the warp factor is small enough, the effective mass of a DBI global monopole does not depend apparently on the value of the false vacuum, which is qualitatively different from that of a canonical global monopole.

Cosmological solutions of a nonlocal model with a perfect fluid
A nonlocal gravity model which does not assume the existence of a new dimensional parameter in the action and includes a function f(−1R), with the d'Alembertian operator, is studied. By specifying an exponential form for the function f and including a matter sector with a constant equation of state parameter, all available power-law solutions in the Jordan frame are obtained. New power-law solutions in the Einstein frame are also probed. Furthermore, the relationship between power-law solutions in both frames, established through conformal transformation, is substantially clarified. The correspondence between power-law solutions in these two frames is proven to be a very useful tool in order to obtain new solutions in the Einstein frame.
