Effect of three‐pion unitarity on resonance poles from heavy meson decays
We study the final state interaction in 3π decay of meson resonances at the Excited Baryon Analysis Center (EBAC) of JLab. We apply the dynamical coupled‐channels formulation which has been extensively used by EBAC to extract N* information. The formulation satisfies the 3π unitarity condition which has been missed in the existing works with the isobar models. We report the effect of the 3π unitarity on the meson resonance pole positions and Dalitz plot.

Consideration of nuclear forces from the viewpoint of the renormalization group: Relation of nuclear forces between phenomenological approach and nuclear effective field theory
A relation between nuclear forces derived using a phenomenological approach and nuclear effective field theory (NEFT) is proposed from a renormalization group point of view. A phenomenological nuclear force (V ph ) and an NEFT-based NN-potential (V EFT ) are satisfactorily related to each other through the Wilsonian renormalization group (WRG) method. It is clearly shown that use of the simple contact interactions in NEFT is adequate to simulate small scale phenomena, and that an NEFT-based NN-potential (V EFT ) is free from dependence on the model used to describe small scale phenomena. We study the characteristics of V EFT from a WRG point of view, emphasizing points that have not previously been fully recognized. We also use the V low k method and a unitary transformation method to relate V ph to V EFT . It is found that they are not appropriate for this purpose.

Extraction of Meson Resonances from Three-pions Photo-production Reactions
We have investigated the model dependence of meson resonance properties extracted from the Dalitz-plot analysis of the three-pions photoproduction reactions on the nucleon. Within a unitary model developed in Phys. Rev. D 84, 114019 (2011), we generate Dalitz-plot distributions as data to perform an isobar model fit that is similar to most of the previous analyses of three-pion production reactions. It is found that the resonance positions from the two models agree well when both fit the data accurately, except for the resonance poles near branch points. The residues of the resonant amplitudes extracted from the two models and by the usual Breit-Wigner procedure agree well only for the isolated resonances with narrow widths. For overlapping resonances, most of the extracted residues could be drastically different. Our results suggest that even with high precision data, the resonance extraction should be based on models within which the amplitude parametrization is constrained by three-particle unitarity condition.

Renormalization group analysis of nuclear current operators
A Wilsonian renormalization group (WRG) equation for nuclear current operators in two-nucleon systems is derived. Nuclear current operators relevant to low-energy Gamow-Teller transitions are analyzed using the WRG equation. We employ the axial two-body current operators from phenomenological models and heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory, which are quite different from one another in describing small-scale physics. After reducing the model space of the operators using the WRG equation, we find that there still remains a significant model dependence at {lambda}=200 MeV, where {lambda} is the sharp cutoff specifying the size of the model space. A model-independent effective current operator is found at a rather small cutoff value, {lambda}=70 MeV. By simulating the effective current operator at {lambda}=70 MeV, we obtain a current operator based on a pionless theory, thereby arguing that an equivalence relation exists between nuclear current operators of phenomenological models and those of effective field theories.

Meson spectroscopy with unitary coupled-channels model for heavy-meson decay into three mesons
We develop a model for describing excited mesons decay into three mesons. The properties of the excited mesons can be extracted with this model. The model maintains the three-body unitarity that has been missed in previous data analyses based on the conventional isobar models. We study an importance of the three-body unitarity in extracting hadron properties from data. For this purpose, we use the unitary and isobar models to analyze the same pseudo data of gamma p -> pi+pi+pi-n, and extract the properties of excited mesons. We find a significant difference between the unitary and isobar models in the extracted properties of excited mesons, such as the mass, width and coupling strength to decay channels.

Explanation of the More Effective Effective Field Theory
We show that the so-called more effective effective field theory (MEEFT) is essentially equivalent to the proper nuclear effective field theory (NEFT) in describing low-energy electroweak processes in nuclei. A key to understanding their equivalence is the relation between aN EFT-based NN -potential and a phenomenological potential through the Wilsonian renormalization group equation. We also discuss an important advantage of MEEFT.

Off-shell crosscap state and orientifold planes with background dilatons
Abstract We show that a non-trivial dilaton condensation alters the dimensions of orientifold planes. An off-shell crosscap state which naturally interpolates between the usual on-shell crosscap states and their T-duals plays an important role in the analysis. We present an explicit representation of the off-shell crosscap state on an RP 2 worldsheet in the gauge in which the worldsheet curvature in the bulk of the fundamental region of the RP 2 vanishes. We show that the non-trivial dilaton condensation reproduces the correct descent relation among orientifold plane tensions.

Closed-string tachyon condensation and loop corrected on-shell effective action of open-string tachyons
We propose a basic strategy to obtain a consistent on-shell effective action of open-string tachyons, on the background where closed-string tachyons are already condensed. We use sigma-model approach, basically. We regard D-instanton-like objects with appropriate weight as closed-string tachyon tadpoles, and we insert them into worldsheets to analyze the effect of closed-string tachyons.

Closed-String Tachyon Condensation and the On-Shell Effective Action of Open-String Tachyons
We study how the effect of closed-string tachyon condensation can enter into the on-shell effective action of open-string tachyons in the bosonic case. We also consider open-string one-loop quantum corrections to the on-shell action. We use a sigma-model approach with boundary terms, and we utilize some results of boundary string field theory (BSFT) to define the on-shell effective action. We regard D-instanton-like objects with appropriate weight as closed-string tachyon tadpoles, and we insert them into worldsheets to analyze the effect of closed-string tachyons.

Effective temperature of nonequilibrium dense matter in holography
We study properties of effective temperature of non-equilibrium steady states by using the anti-de Sitter spacetime/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence. We consider non-equilibrium systems with a constant flow of current along an electric field, in which the current is carried by both the doped charges and those pair created by the electric field. We find that the effective temperature agrees with that of the Langevin systems if we take the limit where the pair creation is negligible. The effect of pair creation raises the effective temperature whereas the current by the doped charges contributes to lower the effective temperature in a wide range of the holographic models.
