Heavy Meson Masses in Chiral Perturbation Theory With Heavy Quark Symmetry
The SU(3) and hyperfine mass splittings of mesons containing a single heavy quark are computed to one-loop order in chiral perturbation theory with heavy quark spin symmetry. Electromagnetic contributions of order αem are included. The observed values of the mass splittings are consistent with the one-loop chiral perturbation theory calculation. The d− u hyperfine splitting (D∗+ −D)− (D∗0 −D) i...
متن کاملDuality Symmetries and Topology Change in String Theory
Duality symmetries for strings moving in non-trivial spacetime backgrounds are analysed. It is shown that for backgrounds generated from WZW and coset CFT models such duality symmetries are exact to all orders in string perturbation theory. Their implications for string dynamics in non-trivial/singular spacetimes are discussed. CERN-TH.7003/93 September 1993 ∗ Talk given at the EPS 93 Conferenc...
متن کاملCern-th.6901/93 a Lattice Monte Carlo Study of the Hot Electroweak Phase Transition
We study the finite temperature electroweak phase transition with lattice perturbation theory and Monte Carlo techniques. Dimensional reduction is used to approximate the full four-dimensional SU(2) + a fundamental doublet Higgs theory by an effective three-dimensional SU(2) + adjoint Higgs + fundamental Higgs theory with coefficients depending on temperature via screening masses and mass count...
متن کاملThe Super-Heat-Kernel Expansion and the Renormalization of the Pion–Nucleon Interaction*
A recently proposed super-heat-kernel technique is applied to SU(2)L × SU(2)R heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. A previous result for the one-loop divergences of the pion–nucleon system to O(p3) is confirmed, giving at the same time an impressive demonstration of the efficiency of the new method. The cumbersome and tedious calculations of the conventional approach are now reduced to a fe...
متن کاملThe Dual Faces of String
Duality symmetries for strings moving in non-trivial spacetime backgrounds are analysed. It is shown that, for backgrounds generated from compact WZW and coset models, such duality symmetries are exact to all orders in string perturbation theory. A global treatment of duality symmetries is given, by associating them to the known symmetries of affine current algebras ( affine-Weyl group and exte...
