Vertex Operators, $\mathbb{C}^3$ Curve and Topological Vertex
In this article, we prove the conjecture that Kodaira-Spencer theory for the topological vertex is a free fermion theory. By dividing the $\mathbb{C}^3$ curve into core and asymptotic regions and using Boson-Fermion correspondence, we construct a generic three-leg correlation function which reformulates the topological vertex in a vertex operator approach. We propose a conjecture of the correlation function identity which in a degenerate case becomes Zhou\rq{}s identity for a Hopf link.

A Statistical Analysis of Point-like Sources in the Chandra Galactic Center Survey ∗
The Chandra Galactic Center Survey detected similar to 800 X-ray point-like sources in the 2 degrees x 0.8 degrees sky region around the Galactic Center. We study the spatial and luminosity distributions of these sources according to their spectral properties. Fourteen bright sources detected are used to fit jointly an absorbed power-law model, from which the power-law photon index is determined to be similar to 2.5. Assuming that all other sources have the same power-law form, the relation between hardness ratio and HI column density N-H is used to estimate the NH values for all sources. Monte Carlo simulations show that these sources are more likely concentrated in the Galactic center region, rather than distributed throughout the Galactic disk. We also find that the luminosities of the sources are positively correlated with their HI column densities, i.e., a more luminous source has a higher HI column density. From this relation, we suggest that the X-ray luminosity comes from the interaction between an isolated old neutron star and interstellar medium (mainly dense molecular clouds). Using the standard Bondi accretion theory and the statistical information of molecular clouds in the Galactic center, we confirm this positive correlation and calculate the luminosity range in this scenario, which is consistent with the observation (10(32)-10(35) erg s(-1)).

Calogero-Sutherland model in interacting fermion picture and explicit construction of Jack states
The 40-year-old Calogero-Sutherland (CS) model remains a source of inspirations for understanding 1d interacting fermions. At $\beta=1, \text{or}0$, the CS model describes a free non-relativistic fermion, or boson theory, while for generic $\beta$, the system can be interpreted either as interacting fermions or bosons, or free anyons depending on the context. However, we shall show in this letter that the fermionic picture is advantageous in diagonalizing the CS Hamiltonian. Comparing to the previously known multi-integral representation or the Dunkl operator formalism for the CS wave functions, our method depends on the (upper or lower) triangular nature of the fermion interaction, which is resolved in perturbation theory of the second quantized form. The eigenstate is constructed from a multiplet of unperturbed states and the perturbation is of finite order. The full construction is a similarity transformation from the free fermion theory, in the same spirit as the Landau Fermi liquid theory and the 1d Luttinger liquid theory. That means quasi-particles or anyons can be represented in terms of free fermion modes (or bosonic modes via bosonization). The method is applicable to other (higher than one space dimension) systems for which the adiabatic theorem applies.

HARDNESS RATIO ESTIMATION IN LOW COUNTING X-RAY PHOTOMETRY
Hardness ratios are commonly used in X-ray photometry to roughly indicate spectral properties. They are usually defined as the ratio of counts in two different wave bands. This definition, however, is problematic when the counts are very limited. Here we instead define the hardness ratio using the lambda-parameter of Poisson processes and develop an estimation method via Bayesian statistics. Our Monte Carlo simulations show the validity of our method. Based on this new definition we can estimate the hydrogen column density for the photoelectric absorption of X-ray spectra in the case of low counting statistics.

Recursions in Calogero-Sutherland Model Based on Virasoro Singular Vectors
The present work is much motivated by finding an explicit way in the construction of the Jack symmetric function, which is the spectrum generating function for the Calogero-Sutherland (CS) model. To accomplish this work, the hidden Virasoro structure in the CS model is much explored. In particular, we found that the Virasoro singular vectors form a skew hierarchy in the CS model. Literally, skew is analogous to coset, but here specifically refer to the operation on the Young tableaux. In fact, based on the construction of the Virasoro singular vectors, this hierarchical structure can be used to give a complete construction of the CS states, i.e. the Jack symmetric functions, recursively. The construction is given both in operator formalism as well as in integral representation. This new integral representation for the Jack symmetric functions may shed some insights on the spectrum constructions for the other integrable systems.

AGT conjecture and AFLT states: a complete construction
A complete construction of the AFLT states is proposed. With this construction and for all the cases we have checked, the AGT conjecture on the equivalence of Nekrasov Instanton Counting (NIC) to the $Vir\oplus u(1)$ conformal block has been verified to be true.

Hyperon Production from Neutrino–Nucleon Reaction
The neutrino induced hyperon production processes $${\bar{\nu}_{e/\mu} + p \to e^+/\mu^+ + \pi + \Lambda/\Sigma}$$ν¯e/μ+p→e+/μ++π+Λ/Σ may provide a unique clean place for studying low energy $${\pi\Lambda/\Sigma}$$πΛ/Σ interaction and hyperon resonances below KN threshold. The production rates for some neutrino induced hyperon production processes are estimated with theoretical models. Suggestions are made for the study of hyperon production from neutrino–nucleon reaction at present and future neutrino facilities.

FIVE-DIMENSIONAL KALUZA–KLEIN THEORY WITH A SOURCE
A free test particle in five-dimensional Kaluza–Klein space–time will show its electricity in the reduced four-dimensional space–time when it moves along the fifth dimension. In the light of this observation, we study the coupling of a five-dimensional dust field with the Kaluza–Klein gravity. It turns out that the dust field can curve the five-dimensional space–time in such a way that it provides exactly the source of the electromagnetic field in the four-dimensional space–time after the dimensional reduction.

Photoproduction of bound states with hidden charm
The photo-production of $J/\Psi$-$^3He$ bound state ($[^3He]_{J/\Psi}$) on a $^4He$ target has been investigated using the impulse approximation. The calculations have been performed using several $\gamma+N \rightarrow J/\Psi +N$ models based on the Pomeron-exchange and accounting for the pion-exchange mechanism at low energies. The $J/\Psi$ wavefunctions in $[^3He]_{J/\Psi}$ are generated from various $J/\Psi$-nucleus potentials which are constructed by either using a procedure based on the Pomeron-quark coupling mechanism or folding a $J/\Psi$-N potential ($v_{J/\Psi,N}$) into the nuclear densities. We consider $v_{J/\Psi,N}$ derived from the effective field theory approach, Lattice QCD, and Pomeron-quark coupling mechanism. The upper bound of the predicted total cross sections is about $0.1 - 0.3$ pico-barn. We also consider the possibility of photo-production of a six quark-$J/\Psi$ bound state ($[q^6]_{J/\Psi})$ on the $^3He$ target. The Compound Bag Model of $NN$ scattering and the quark cluster model of nuclei are used to estimate the $[q^6]$-N wavefunction in $^3He$ by imposing the condition that the calculated $^3He$ charge form factor must be consistent with what is predicted by the conventional nuclear model. The upper bound of the predicted total cross sections of $\gamma + ^3He \rightarrow [q^6]_{J/\Psi} +N$ is about 2 - 4 pico-barn, depending on the model of $\gamma+N \rightarrow J/\Psi +N$ used in the calculations. Our results call for the need of precise measurements of $\gamma+p \rightarrow J/\Psi +p$ and also the $\gamma+^2H\rightarrow J/\Psi +n + p $ reactions near the threshold.

Supersymmetric AdS3 × S2 M-theory geometries with fluxes
Motivated by a recent observation that the LLM geometries admit 1/4-BPS M5-brane probes with worldvolume AdS3 × Σ2 × S1 preserving the R-symmetry, SU(2) × U(1), we initiate a classification of the most general AdS3×S2 geometries in M-theory dual to two-dimensional chiral $$ \mathcal{N} = \left( {4,0} \right) $$ SCFTs. We retain all field strengths consistent with symmetry and derive the torsion conditions for the internal six-manifold, M6, in terms of two linearly independent spinors. Surprisingly, we identify three Killing directions for M6, but only two of these generate isometries of the overall ansatz. We show that the existence of this third direction depends on the norm of the spinors. With the torsion conditions derived, we establish the MSW solution as the only solution in the class where M6 is an SU(3)-structure manifold. Then, specialising to the case where the spinors define an SU(2)-structure, we note that supersymmetry dictates that all magnetic fluxes necessarily thread the S2. Finally, by assuming that the two remaining Killing directions are parallel and aligned with one of the two vectors defining the SU(2)-structure, we derive a general relationship for the two spinors before extracting a known class of solutions from the torsion conditions.

Dynamical gap from holography in the charged dilaton black hole
We study the holographic non-relativistic fermions in the presence of the bulk dipole coupling in a charged dilatonic black hole background. We explore the nontrivial effects of the bulk dipole coupling, the fermion charge as well as the dilaton field on the flat band, the Fermi surface and the emergence of the gap by investigating the spectral function of the non-relativistic fermion system. In particular, we find that the presence of the flat band in the non-relativistic case will suppress the Fermi momentum. We also observe that the effect of the dipole coupling in the dilaton gravity is more explicit. Finally, we consider the non-relativistic fermions at nonzero temperature. A phase transition from an insulator to a conducting state is observed as the fermion system becomes hotter.
