Construction of fuzzy S**4
We construct a fuzzy $S^4$, utilizing the fact that ${\bf CP}^3$ is an $S^2$ bundle over $S^4$. We find that a fuzzy $S^4$ can be described by a block-diagonal form whose embedding square matrix represents a fuzzy ${\bf CP}^3$. We discuss some pending issues on fuzzy $S^4$, i.e., precise matrix-function correspondence, associativity of the algebra, and etc. Similarly, we also obtain a fuzzy $S^8$, using the fact that ${\bf CP}^7$ is a ${\bf CP}^3$ bundle over $S^8$.

Application of abelian holonomy formalism to the elementary theory of numbers
We consider an abelian holonomy operator in two-dimensional conformal field theory with zero-mode contributions. The analysis is made possible by use of a geometric-quantization scheme for abelian Chern-Simons theory on S1 × S1 × R. We find that a purely zero-mode part of the holonomy operator can be expressed in terms of Riemann's zeta function. We also show that a generalization of linking numbers can be obtained in terms of the vacuum expectation values of the zero-mode holonomy operators. Inspired by mathematical analogies between linking numbers and Legendre symbols, we then apply these results to a space of Fp = Z/pZ, where p is an odd prime number. This enables us to calculate “scattering amplitudes” of identical odd primes in the holonomy formalism. In this framework, the Riemann hypothesis can be interpreted by means of a physically obvious fact, i.e., there is no notion of “scattering” for a single-particle system. Abelian gauge theories described by the zero-mode holonomy operators will be usef...

Holonomies of gauge fields in twistor space 4: Functional MHV rules and one-loop amplitudes
Abstract We consider generalization of the Cachazo–Svrcek–Witten (CSW) rules to one-loop amplitudes of N = 4 super Yang–Mills theory in a recently developed holonomy formalism in twistor space. We first reconsider off-shell continuation of the Lorentz-invariant Nair measure for the incorporation of loop integrals. We then formulate an S-matrix functional for general amplitudes such that it implements the CSW rules at quantum level. For one-loop MHV amplitudes, the S-matrix functional correctly reproduces the analytic expressions obtained in the Brandhuber–Spence–Travaglini (BST) method. Motivated by this result, we propose a novel regularization scheme by use of an iterated-integral representation of polylogarithms and obtain a set of new analytic expressions for one-loop NMHV and N 2 MHV amplitudes in a conjectural form. We also briefly sketch how the extension to one-loop non-MHV amplitudes in general can be carried out.

On the deconfining limit in (2+1)-dimensional Yang–Mills theory
Abstract We consider ( 2 + 1 ) -dimensional Yang–Mills theory on S 1 × S 1 × R in the framework of a Hamiltonian approach developed by Karabali, Kim and Nair. The deconfining limit in the theory can be discussed in terms of one of the S 1 radii of the torus ( S 1 × S 1 ), while the other radius goes to infinity. We find that the limit agrees with the previously known result for a dynamical propagator mass of a gluon. We also make comparisons with numerical data.

Noncommutative gravity: Fuzzy sphere and others
Gravity on noncommutative analogues of compact spaces can give a finite mode truncation of ordinary commutative gravity. We obtain the actions for gravity on the noncommutative two-sphere and on the noncommutative ${\mathbf{CP}}^{2}$ in terms of finite dimensional $(N\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}N)$ matrices. The commutative large N limit is also discussed.

Holonomies of gauge fields in twistor space 3: Gravity as a square of N=4 theory
Abstract In a recent paper, we show that an S-matrix functional for graviton amplitudes can be described by an N = 8 supersymmetric gravitational holonomy operator in twistor space. In this paper, we obtain an alternative expression for the gravitational holonomy operator such that it can be interpreted as a square of an N = 4 holonomy operator for frame fields, by taking a sum of certain shuffles over ordered indices. The new expression leads to amplitudes of not only spin-2 gravitons but also spin-0 massless particles. We discuss that the squared model is favored as a theory of quantum gravity.

Two‐dimensional Langevin approach to nuclear fission
The bidimensional Langevin for the symmetric fission of 213At were solved without approximations using computer generated stochastic forces. Two dissipation mechanisms have been studied: a typical weak one (hydrodynamical viscosity) and a typical strong one (energy transferred to nucleonic motions from their changing self consistent potential). Calculated transient times (2.10−20 sec or less) are comparable with those extracted from measurements of prescission neutron multiplicity. The kinetic energy distribution of the fission fragments was calculated for nuclear temperatures T=1,2 and 3 MeV. A good agreement between theory and experiment was found for the variation with T of both its mean value and its variance. The calculated absolute values are however slightly lower than the empirical ones. At the same time it was also possible to test the validity of a deterministic (Lagrange) approach to the mean value of the prescission kinetic energy. The error involved was found to decrease with increasing T and...

Analysis of the fusion hindrance in mass-symmetric heavy ion reactions
The fusion hindrance, which is also denominated by the term extra-push, is studied on mass-symmetric systems by the use of the liquid drop model with the two-center parameterization. Following the idea that the fusion hindrance exists only if the liquid drop barrier (saddle point) is located at the inner side of the contact point after overcoming the outer Coulomb barrier, the reactions in which two barriers are overlapped with each other are determined. It is shown that there are many systems where the fusion hindrance does not exist for the atomic number of projectile or target nucleus Z ⩽ 43, while for Z> 43, all of the mass-symmetric reactions are fusion-hindered.

Evidence for nuclear Landau-Zener effect: New resonance mechanism in heavy-ion reactions
Characteristic resonancelike peaks recently observed in the angle-integrated inelastic cross sections for the /sup 13/C-/sup 17/O system are understood in terms of the Landau-Zener excitation mechanism at energy level crossings. Angle-integrated inelastic cross sections estimated with the Landau-Zener formula show a series of resonancelike peaks as a function of incident energy, each of which is associated with a grazing angular momentum of the relative motion between nuclei. Simple expressions are given for resonance energies and ''widths'' of new ''resonances.'' This resonance mechanism is a new one, which has not been known in nuclear reactions nor in atomic collisions, although it is based on the well-known Landau-Zener promotion mechanism.

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE FISSION TIME OF THE SUPER-HEAVY ELEMENTS?
Recent experiments performed at GANIL with a crystal blocking technique have shown direct evidences of long fission times in the Super-Heavy Elements (SHE) region. Aimed to localize the SHE island of stability, can these experiments give access to the fission barrier and then to the shell-correction energy? In this paper, we calculate the fission time of heavy elements by using a new code, KEWPIE2, devoted to the study of the SHE. We also investigate the effect of potential structure beyond the saddle on the fission time.
