Hidden Yangian symmetry in sigma model on squashed sphere
We discuss a hidden symmetry of a two-dimensional sigma model on a squashed S3. The SU(2) current can be improved so that it can be regarded as a flat connection. Then we can obtain an infinite number of conserved non-local charges and show the Yangian algebra by directly checking the Serre relations. This symmetry is also deduced from the coset structure of the squashed sphere. The same argument is applicable to the warped AdS3 spaces by the double Wick rotations.

Higher Loop Bethe Ansatz for Open Spin-Chains in AdS/CFT
We propose a perturbative asymptotic Bethe ansatz (PABA) for open spin-chain systems whose Hamiltonians are given by matrices of anomalous dimension for composite operators, and apply it to two types of composite operators related to two different brane configurations. One is an AdS4 ? S2-brane in the bulk AdS5 ? S5 which gives rise to a defect conformal field theory (dCFT) in the dual field theory, and the other is a giant graviton system with an open string excitation. In both cases, excitations on open strings attaching to D-branes (a D5-brane for the dCFT case, and a spherical D3-brane for the giant graviton case) can be represented by magnon states in the spin-chains with appropriate boundary conditions, in which informations of the D-branes are encoded. We concentrate on single-magnon problems, and explain how to calculate boundary S-matrices via the PABA technique. We also discuss the energy spectrum in the BMN limit.

A semiclassical string description of Wilson loop with local operators
Abstract We discuss a semiclassical string description to circular Wilson loops without/with local operator insertions. Type IIB string theory on AdS 5 × S 5 is expanded around the corresponding classical solutions with respect to fluctuations and semiclassical quadratic actions are computed. Then the dual corresponding operators describing the fluctuations are discussed from the point of view of a small deformation of the Wilson loops. The result gives new evidence for AdS/CFT correspondence.

Intersecting noncommutative M5-branes from covariant open supermembrane
Abstract We study intersecting noncommutative (NC) M5-branes from κ -invariance of an open supermembrane action with constant three-form fluxes. The κ -invariance gives rise to possible D-brane configurations for which projection operators can be determined. We construct projection operators for two types of 1/4 BPS intersecting NC M5-branes. The one is an intersection of two NC M5-branes: NC M 5 ⊥ NC M5 (3). The other is that of an NC M5-brane and a commutative (C) M5-brane: NC M 5 ⊥ C M5 (1). An NC M5-brane can be viewed as a bound state of M5 and M2, and the configurations M 2 ⊥ M 5 (1) and M 2 ⊥ M 2 (0) are realized on the intersecting M5-branes. Taking a commutative limit the allowed intersecting M5-branes are surely reproduced: M 5 ⊥ M 5 (3) and M 5 ⊥ M 5 (1).

Open spinning strings and AdS/dCFT duality
We consider open spinning string solutions on an AdS4 ? S2-brane (D5-brane) in the bulk AdS5 ? S5 background. By taking account of the breaking of SO(6)R to SO(3)H ? SO(3)V due to the presence of the AdS-brane, the open rotating string ansatz is discussed. We construct the elliptic folded/circular open string solutions in the SU(2) and the SL(2) sectors, so that they satisfy the appropriate boundary conditions. On the other hand, in the SU(2) sector of the gauge theory, we compute the matrix of anomalous dimension of the defect operator, which turns out to be the hamiltonian of an open integrable spin chain. Then we consider the coordinate Bethe ansatz with arbitrary number of impurities, and compare the boundary condition of the Bethe wavefunction with that of the corresponding open string solution. We also discuss the Bethe ansatz for the open SL(2) spin chain with several supports from the string theory side. Then, in both SU(2) and SL(2) sectors, we analyze the Bethe equations in the thermodynamic limit and formulate the `doubling trick' on the Riemann surface associated with the gauge theory.

Giant graviton and quantum stability in the matrix model on app-wave background
We study classical solutions in Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase (BMN) matrix model. A supersymmetric (1/2 BPS) fuzzy sphere is one of the classical solutions and corresponds to a giant graviton. We also consider other classical solutions, such as non-supersymmetric fuzzy sphere and harmonic oscillating gravitons. Some properties of oscillating gravitons are discussed. In particular, oscillating gravitons turn into usual supergravitons in the limit mu -> 0. Moreover, we calculate the one-loop effective action around the supersymmetric fuzzy sphere by the use of the background field method and show the quantum stability of the giant graviton. Also, the instability of the non-supersymmetric fuzzy sphere is proven.

N=1* model and glueball superpotential from renormalization group-improved perturbation theory
A method for computing the low-energy non-perturbative properties of SUSY GFT, starting from the microscopic lagrangian model, is presented. The method relies on covariant SUSY Feynman graph techniques, adapted to low energy, and Renormalization-Group-improved perturbation theory. We apply the method to calculate the glueball superpotential in = 1 SU(2) SYM and obtain a potential of the Veneziano-Yankielowicz type.

Magnetic moment of proton drip-line nucleus 9C
Abstract The magnetic moment of the proton drip-line nucleus 9 C (I π = 3 2 − , T 1 2 =126 ms ) has been measured for the first time, using the β-NMR detection technique with polarized radioactive beams. The measured value for the magnetic moment is |μ( 9 C )| = 1.3914±0.0005 μ N . The deduced spin expectation value 〈σ〉 of 1.44 is unusually larger than any other ones of even-odd nuclei.

A new vector-tensor theory and higher-dimensional cosmology
A new vector-tensor model of classical gravity, which contains coupling between the field strength of the vector field and the curvature tensors in six dimensions, is proposed. Cosmological solutions of the scale factors in this model with the compactified space are obtained. The generalization of the model is also considered.

The Central Drift Chamber of the BELLE detector at the KEK B-factory is a cylindrical wire chamber device that uses a helium-based gas and aluminum field wires and is situated in a 1.5 T magnetic field. The transverse momentum resolution for charged tracks with 1.0 GeV/c transverse momentum is 0.35%. This paper describes the chamber's configuration and performance.
