چکیده
We study the pair production of open strings in constant external electric fields, using a general framework which encodes both relativistic string theory and generic linearly extended systems as well. In the relativistically invariant case we recover previous results, both for pair production and for the effective Born-Infeld action. We then derive a non-relativistic limit where the propagation velocity along the string is much smaller than the velocity of light obtaining quantum dissipation. We calculate the pair nucleation rate for this case, which could be relevant for applications.

Noncritical strings in the " coupling constant " phase space and bosonic string in the affine-metric curved space are dissipative systems. But the quantum descriptions of the dissipative systems have well known ambiguities. We suggest some approach to solve the problems of this description. The generalized Poisson algebra for dissipative systems is considered.

We consider the action of a subtorus of the big torus on a toric variety. The aim of the paper is to define a natural notion of a quotient for this setting and to give an explicit algorithm for the construction of this quotient from the combinatorial data corresponding to the pair consisting of the subtorus and the toric variety. Moreover, we study the relations of such quotients with good quot...

Quark confinement in Buchmüller’s picture of a rotating flux tube is reconsidered in the context of a minimum area evaluation of the Wilson loop. The question is asked whether resulting spin independent dynamics are consistent with Thomas precessional spin dependence leading from electric confinement. The answer appears to be in the negative; self-consistency of the picture found in the literat...

The intermittency analysis of single event data (particle moments) in multiparticle production is improved, taking into account corrections due to the reconstruction of history of a particle cascade. This approach is tested within the framework of the α-model. ∗e-mail: [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract We present a progress report on MERLIN radio imaging of a radio outburst from GRS 1915+105. The major ejection occurred at the end of a ∼ 20 day ‘plateau’ state, characterised by low/hard X-ray fluxes and a relatively strong flat-spectrum radio component. Apparent superluminal motions have been mapped with unprecedented resolution, and imply higher velocities in the jet than previously...
