We study an interaction of 2D quasiparticles with linear dispersion E = ±u|p| (graphene) with impurity potentials. It is shown that in 1D potential well (quantum wire) there are discrete levels, corresponding to localized states, whereas in 2D well (quantum dot) there are no such states. Scattering cross-section of electrons (holes) of graphene by an axially symmetric potential well is found an...

In [Ans08a, Ans08b], we investigated monic multivariate non-commutative orthogonal polynomials, their recursions, states of orthogonality, and corresponding continued fraction expansions. In this note, we collect a number of examples, demonstrating what these general results look like for the most important states on non-commutative polynomials, namely for various product states. In particular,...

The spectrum of D2-branes wrapped on an ALE space of general ADE type is determined, by representing them as boundary states of N = 2 superconformal minimal models. The stable quantum states have RR charges which precisely represent the gauge fields of the corresponding Lie algebra. This provides a simple and direct physical link between the ADE classification of N =2 superconformal field theor...

Euler diagrams use topological properties to represent settheoretical concepts and thus are ‘intuitive’ to some people. When reasoning with Euler diagrams, it is essential to have a notion of correspondence among the regions in different diagrams. At the semantic level, two regions correspond when they represent the same set. However, we wish to construct a purely syntactic definition of corres...

To the Editors: In their recent publication, Swati S. Sathe and Peter J. Harte (Mech. Dev. 52,77-87, 1995) claim to have "reisolated' the extra sex combs (esc) gene of Drosophila from our published transgenic stock (Frei et aI., EMBO J. 4,979-987, 1985) by inverse PCR, using P element and rosy primers. This description is wrong because our published transgenic stock carried the esc trans gene w...

Two sources of strong phases in the decays B to ππ are identified: (1) “quasi-elastic scattering” corresponding to intermediate states like ππ and ρρ, (2) “cc̄” corresponding to intermediate states like DD̄ and D∗D̄∗. Possibilities of using data to identify these two sources are discussed and illustrated. Present data suggests both sources may be significant. The decay of B → ππ may be considered ...

Following the linear programming prescription of Ref. [6], the d ⊗ d Bell diagonal entanglement witnesses are provided. By using Jamiolkowski isomorphism, it is shown that the corresponding positive maps are the generalized qudit Choi maps. Also by manipulating particular d ⊗ d Bell diagonal separable states and constructing corresponding bound entangled states, it is shown that thus obtained d...
