Neutrino clustering in the galaxy with a global monopole
In spherically symmetric, static spacetime, we show that only j=1/2 fermions can satisfy both Einstein's field equation and Dirac's equation. It is also shown that neutrinos are able to have effective masses and cluster in the galactic halo when they are coupled to a global monopole situated at the galactic core. Astronomical implications of the results are discussed.

RAPIDITY GAP OF WEAKLY COUPLED LEPTOQUARK PRODUCTION IN ep COLLIDER
We show that the current bounds on the leptoquark couplings imply that if leptoquarks are produced in ep collisions, a significant fraction of them could form a leptoquark–quark bound state. The decay of the bound state has a distinct event shape with rapidity gap. A possible application of this observation in the leptoquark search at HERA is discussed.

Estimating higher order perturbative coefficients using Borel transform
A new method of estimating higher order perturbative coefficients is discussed. It exploits the rapid, asymptotic growth of perturbative coefficients and the information on the singularities in the complex Borel plane. A comparison with other methods is made in several Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) expansions.

Heavy quark mass determination from the quarkonium ground state energy: a pole mass approach
The heavy quark pole mass in perturbation theory suffers from a renormalon caused, inherent uncertainty of O(?QCD). This fundamental difficulty of determining the pole mass to an accuracy better than the inherent uncertainty can be overcome by direct resummation of the first infrared renormalon. We show how a properly defined pole mass as well as the mass for the top and bottom quarks can be determined accurately from the O(m?s5) quarkonium ground state energy.

Baryon number violation in dense matter. On the relation with anomalous high energy scattering
Abstract The recent claim of the equivalence of baryon number violation in dense matter and that of high energy scattering is examined. We present a plausible argument against the claim. We also calculate the anomalous decay rate of dense matter to (μ/E 0 ) 8 3 In (μ/E 0 ) order. To this order, we find the anomalous decay rate is completely equivalent to the anomalous cross section of the high energy scattering calculated by the valley method.

Light bending by nonlinear electrodynamics under strong electric and magnetic field
We calculate the bending angles of light under the strong electric and magnetic fields by a charged black hole and a magnetized neutron star according to the nonlinear electrodynamics of Euler-Heisenberg interaction. The bending angle of light by the electric field of charged black hole is computed from geometric optics and a general formula is derived for light bending valid for any orientation of the magnetic dipole. The astronomical significance of the light bending by magnetic field of a neutron star is discussed.

The Chern-Simons coefficient in supersymmetric Yang-Mills Chern-Simons theories
We study one-loop corrections to the Chern-Simons coefficient κ = k4π in N = 1, 2, 3 supersymmetric Yang-Mills Chern-Simons systems. In the pure bosonic case, the shift of the parameter k is known to be k → k + cv, where cv is the quadratic Casimir of the gauge group. In the N = 1 case, the fermionic contribution cancels the bosonic contribution by half and the shift is k → k + cv2, making the theory anomalous if cv is odd. In the N = 2, 3 cases, the fermionic contribution cancels the bosonic contribution completely and there is no correction. We also calculate the mass corrections, and show that the supersymmetry is preserved. As the matter fields decouple from the gauge field in the pure Chern-Simons limit, this work sheds some light on the regularization dependency of the correction in pure Chern-Simons systems. We also discuss the implication to the case when the gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken by the Higgs mechanism.

KRICHEVER — NOVIKOV BASES FOR THE BOSONIC STRING
The global operator formalism proposed recently by Krichever and Novikov using meromorphic tensor fields on general Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus is applied to the bosonic string. The well-known Green's function of the scalar boson fields is obtained in a simple manner from the spectral representation. Proof of Wick's theorem is also given.

Canonical quantization of open string and noncommutative geometry
We perform canonical quantization of open strings in the $D$-brane background with a $B$-field. Treating the mixed boundary condition as a primary constraint, we get a set of secondary constraints. Then these constraints are shown to be equivalent to orbifold conditions to be imposed on normal string modes. These orbifold conditions are a generalization of the familiar orbifold conditions which arise when we describe open strings in terms of closed strings. Solving the constraints explicitly, we obtain a simple Hamiltonian for the open string, which reveals the nature of noncommutativity transparently.

Quantum Brownian Motion on a Triangular Lattice and Fermi-Bose Equivalence: An Application of Boundary State Formulation
We discuss the Bose-Fermi equivalence in the quantum Brownian motion (QBM) on a triangular lattice, mapping the action for the QBM into a string theory action with a periodic boundary tachyon potential. We construct new Klein factors which are more appropriate than the conventional ones to deal with the quantum field theories defined on a two dimensioanl space-time with boundaries. Using the Fermi-Bose equivalence with the new Klein factors, we show that the model for the quantum Bownian motion on a triangular lattice is equivalent to the Thirring model with boundary terms, which are quadratic in fermion field operators, in the off-critical regions and to a SU(3) × SU(3) free fermion theory with quadratic boundary terms at the critical point.
