These superpotentials are s ingular when expressed in terms of local gauge-invariant chiral fields. We show that these effective superpotentials\, despite being singular\, are perfectly sensible\, i.e. they correctly describe the moduli space of vacua\, are consistent under RG flow to fewer flavors upon turning on masses\, and also (in the case of SU(2) gauge group) reproduce by a tre e-level calculation all the higher-derivative F-terms recently calculate d by Beasley and Witten by instanton methods.

Pr eviously\, only the extreme small and large mass limits were known for t his quantity. Our result interpolates smoothly between these previously known limits. The computational method makes use of the fact that the si ngle instanton background has radial symmetry\, so that the computation can be reduced to a sum over partial waves of logarithms of radial deter minants\, each of which can be computed numerically in an efficient mann er. The bare sum over partial waves is divergent and must be regulated a nd renormalized. The method is general and versatile\, and can be applie d to many field theoretic computations.

The first lecture should be introductor y and will discuss the fundamental features of the theories on both side s of the correspondence\, namely N=4 super Yang-Mills\, and type IIB str ing theory on $AdS_5\\times S5$ (including Dp-brane solutions). In the s econd and third lectures we will discuss the correspondence between thes e two theories proposed by Maldacena\, and consider mathching of various quantities\, including the prescription for computing N=4 correlation f unctions using supergravity (we will only briefly consider $\\alpha '$ c orrections). Then\, in the fourth and fifth lectures\, we will consider extensions of Maldacena's correspondence to theories with lower amounts supersymmetry\, paying special attention to the $N=1$ supersymmetric Kl ebanov-Witten's theory on the conifold.

Sometimes\, macroscopic correla tions in such systems can be summarized in the form of an "effective" fi eld theory.

We show that regular Be the-ansatz eigenvectoros of the XXZ spin chain at root of unity are high est weight vectors of the sl(2) algebra. We give a rigorous proof for th is statement [2]. Then\, we evaluate the Drinfeld polynomial of a given XXZ Bethe-ansatz eigenstate\, and derive a formula for expressing the Dr infeld polynomial in terms of solutions of the Bethe-ansatz equations\, which was explicitly conjectured by Fabricius and McCoy in Ref. [3]. It follows from the proof that when roots of the Drinfeld polynomial are di stinct\, the degenerate multiplicity of the Bethe state is givn by some power of 2. We also review some relevant results for the 8-vertex model. \n\n[1] T.D.\, K. Fabricius and B.M. McCoy\, J. Stat. Phys.

This problem is of great importance\n for finding viable implementatio ns of the adiabatic quantum\n computation. It also arises in the condens ed matter physics\n in the context of ground state engineering. In my ta lk I show how to\n map a given n-spin target Hamiltonian with\n bounded- strength k-spin interactions onto a simulator Hamiltonian with\n two-spi n interactions such that the ground state\n energy of the target and the simulator Hamiltonian are the same up to\n an extensive error O(n epsil on) for arbitrary small epsilon.\n The strength of interactions in the s imulator Hamiltonian is bounded\n by a constant inpependent of the syste m\n size n. This reduction is accomplished using a new way of deriving an\n effective low-energy Hamiltonian\n which relies on the Schrieffer-W olff transformation of many-body physics.

In complex systems\, energy levels change to energy landscapes. Understanding the energy landscape is important b ecause transitions in the landscape correspond to motions and reactions. For any complex system\, the exploration of the energy landscape is a f ormidable problem. Glasses and proteins are probably the systems where t he energy landscapes are beginning to emerge from experimental\, theoret ical\, and computational studies. Recent results show that the energy la ndscape of even a simple protein is extremely complex and that the dynam ics is controlled not only by the protein proper\, but is strongly influ enced by motions in the hydration shell and in the bulk solvent. \nJoint Chemistry/Physics colloquium.

Me asurements of the electromagnetic field make it possible to relate great ly enhanced fluctuations of local and spatially integrated flux in multi ply-scattering samples to the statistics of the underlying wave. Fourier transforming the measured field spectra yields the time evolution of el ectromagnetic pulses and reveals the growing impact of weak localization in time. The diffusion coefficient is increasingly suppressed in time\, while the degree of intensity correlation grows rapidly in diffusive an d localized samples.  Since the distribution of wave trajectories within a medium at a given time delay is not affected by absorption or amplifi cation\, the role of loss or gain in wave propagation can be unscrambled .\n UID:FAC48E41-21DE-4D67-AEC3-B623D6836F9F TRANSP:OPAQUE DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20041130T154500 DTSTAMP:20041029T180203Z SUMMARY:Physics & Astronomy Colloquium - Azi Genak\, Queens College "Pho ton Localization in the Time Domain" Harriman Hall P-137 CREATED:20080916T141603Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20041130T171500 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:FC8ACD18-B1E3-417F-AE2B-864FEECDB648 DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20040729T100000 DTSTAMP:20040817T170247Z SUMMARY:A.

Discovered in  1909\, enormous research efforts have been expended to  nderstand the virus and to prevent the disease. Two ex cellent vaccines\, developed in the nineteen fifties\, broke the frighte ning grip of poliovirus on societies and\, indeed\, the World Health Org anization is currently conducting a campaign to globally eradicate the a gent. Nevertheless\, poliovirus\, one of the best known viruses of all t imes\, is still being studied extensively as model for a large number of RNA viruses. The chemical structure of the virus was elucidated by us i n 1981\, its three dimensional structure by J. Hogle in 1985. Textbook w isdom states that viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites unable to replicate outside intact cells. In 1991\, however\, we provided evide nce that poliovirus can replicate de novo in a cell free extract. Moreov er\, in 2002\, we showed that the only information necessary to generate poliovirus outside living cells is its "formula"\, that is\, the sequen ce of its genome available in the public domain. The chemical/biochemica l synthesis of poliovirus based exclusively on information from the inte rnet resulted in a deluge of responses\, ranging from ethical questions to those of the value of the experiment\, bioterrorism\, publication of scientific information\, and  national security.

In the se cond and third lectures we will discuss the correspondence between these two theories proposed by Maldacena\, and consider mathching of various quantities\, including the prescription for computing N=4 correlation fu nctions using supergravity (we will only briefly consider $\\alpha '$ co rrections). Then\, in the fourth and fifth lectures\, we will consider e xtensions of Maldacena's correspondence to theories with lower amounts s upersymmetry\, paying special attention to the $N=1$ supersymmetric Kle banov-Witten's theory on the conifold.

In particular\, a s tunning consequence is that the mass of neutrinos is not a fixed parame ter but depends on the density of the neutrinos \nthemselves in the envi ronment. The Sun is packed with neutrinos\, and solar \nneutrino physics is getting very accurate. So the Sun provides a great laboratory to tes t these ideas and get new insights into neutrino properties\, in \na fai rly model independent way.\n UID:C034ADEE-890F-4AF9-B15E-C6ED59D8DE10 TRANSP:OPAQUE DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20050413T153000 DTSTAMP:20050411T172304Z SUMMARY:YITP Seminar -Marco Cirelli\, Yale U.

The first lecture should be introductory and will discuss the fundamental features of the theories on both sides of the correspondence\, namely N=4 super Yang-Mills\, and type IIB stri ng theory on $AdS_5\\times S5$ (including Dp-brane solutions). In the se cond and third lectures we will discuss the correspondence between these two theories proposed by Maldacena\, and consider mathching of various quantities\, including the prescription for computing N=4 correlation fu nctions using supergravity (we will only briefly consider $\\alpha '$ co rrections). Then\, in the fourth and fifth lectures\, we will consider e xtensions of Maldacena's correspondence to theories with lower amounts s upersymmetry\, paying special attention to the $N=1$ supersymmetric Kle banov-Witten's theory on the conifold. Then\, time permitting we will di scuss Klebanov-Strassler's cascading solution as a realization of RG flo w through a series of Seiberg dualitites\, leading to a conjectured conf ining theory at the end of the duality cascade.\n UID:220103D1-ED3E-42A1-A0E0-48A4AE601EC9 TRANSP:OPAQUE DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20050718T130000 DTSTAMP:20050725T163853Z SUMMARY:YITP Lecture Series\, Daniel Robles-Llana "Introduction to the A dS/CFT Correspondence" YITP Common Room MT6-125 CREATED:20080916T141545Z DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20050718T140000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:5 TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:176808A4-6A57-4709-996B-1DF0C7D4F8D9 DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20050815T100000 DTSTAMP:20050815T140854Z SUMMARY:Anatoly Y.

At tree-level\, new recursion relations fora mplitudes of gluons give rise to the most compact formulas known up to n ow. At one-loop\, any amplitude of gluons in N=4 super-Yang-Mills can be written as a linear combination of known scalar box integrals with coef ficients that are rational functions. Using a generalization of unitarit y cuts\, in particular quadruple cuts\, any coefficient can be easily wr itten as the product of four tree-level amplitudes. Therefore\, this new technique solves the problem of computing one-loop amplitudes in N=4 su per-Yang-Mills.

Our predictions for the one-electron spectral-func tion agree quantitatively for the whole momentum and energy bandwidth wi th the peak dispersions observed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectro scopy in the quasi-1D organic conductor TTF-TCNQ \\cite{spectral}. Moreo ver\, we study the phase diagram observed for the $rm{(TMTTF)_2X}$ and $ rm{(TMTSF)_2X}$ series of organic compounds by means of a system of weak ly coupled Hubbard chains. This study relies on combining the PDT for th e spectral functions of the uncoupled chain system with a renormalizatio n group analysis for the coupled chains. At finite energies or temperatu res larger than the inter-chain transfer integral the system is best des cribed in terms of decoupled chains. Thus\, the frequency dependence of the real part of the optical conductivity of the non-Fermi-liquid metall ic phase is studied by use of the 1D Hubbard model \\cite{optical}. On t he other hand\, for lower energy the interplay between electronic correl ations and the inter-chain coupling controls the physics and superconduc tivity becomes the leading instability for small values of the onsite re pulsion and very small doping \\cite{chains}. Otherwise\, the spin densi ty wave is the leading instability for low-energy values. Our prediction s are consistent with the phase diagram of the above series of compounds .\n UID:050F8FAE-57BE-4BD8-ADBD-7F9E0327082A TRANSP:OPAQUE DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20041103T143000 DTSTAMP:20041103T161213Z SUMMARY:YITP Seminar - José M.

With this goal in mind\, we study non-conformal gauge theories on D3-bra nes probing singularities that are constructed by the addition of fracti onal branes. The RG flows associated to these theories can be interprete d as duality cascades. We find evidence that such flows are often chaoti c\, show self-similar fractal features and exhibit exotic features such a duality walls. We explore the validity of the a-theorem conjecture in this context. Finally\, we develop a general supergravity construction w hich we use to construct gravity duals for del Pezzo surfaces that match our field theory beta functions.

The resulting quasiparticle trajectories define\nw orld-lines in 2+1 dimensional space-time\, and the corresponding\nquantu m gates depend only on the topology of the braids formed by\nthese world -lines. This connection between braiding world lines and\nquantum compua tion stems from the deep connection between quantum\nfield theories and knot invariants. While this idea seems rather\nabstract and exotic\, the re is mounting evidence that such states of\nmatter do exist in quantum Hall systems and the effort to harness\ntheir properties for this type o f quantum computation is rapidly\nmounting. In this talk I will review t he field of topological quantum\ncompuation and I will show how quantum compuations are mapped to\nparticular world-line braids\, thus "compilin g" a quantum computation\ninto "machine language" instructions.

In order to make a practical simulation possible\, approxi mate numerical methods such as DMRG\, quantum Monte Carlo\, or the coupl ed cluster technique have been developed.  Although these methods work q uite well in practice\, it is not always known that they give rise to pr ovably efficient simulation algorithms in the complexity-theoretic sense .  In my talk I will outline the main ideas of  the complexity-theoretic  approach to  quantum Hamiltonian problems and review the progress achie ved during the last years. I will describe an algorithm that computes th e ground state energy and correlation functions for 2-local Hamiltonians in which the magnitude of spin-spin interactions is small compared to t he Zeeman energy.  The running time of the algorithm is provably polynom ial in the number of spins and the required precision. The main technica l ingredient of the algorithm is a generalized Kirkwood-Thomas ansatz fo r the ground state. In the second part of the talk I will describe a ran dom walk algorithm for computing ground state properties of frustration- free Hamiltonians avoiding the "sign problem".

We will discuss the dyo nic spectrum\nthat the SL(2\,Z) duality demands. One monopole moduli spa ce will be\ndiscussed. The action on the moduli space will be that of\ns upersymmetric quantum mechanics. This action is quantized by\nobserving the equivalence between the Hilbert space of states and\ndifferential fo rms on the manifold.\n Then the moduli space of two well separated m onopoles is\ndiscussed. The metric obtained in this approximation is the Taub-NUT\nmetric. With this motivation\, following Sen's arguments\, we look for\nthe dyonic states in the exact two monopole moduli space. The exact\nmetric\, obtained by Atiyah and Hitchin\, will be stated without proof.\nUsing the correspondence between forms and supersymmetric Hilbe rt\nspace\, we will be able to obtain the exact spectrum of dyons in the \ntwo monopole spectrum as predicted by SL(2\,Z) duality.

Principle examples will be 0 and 1 dimensio nal SUSY QFT\, which leads us to the Witten index that counts the number of bosonic Susy groundstates minus fermionic. We will see that in the o perator language of Susy quantum mechanics\, the Hilbert space is relate d to the space of differential forms on the target manifold\, thus the w itten index becomes the euler number. Extending to sigma models we we'll ses how Susy invariance of the action enforces special property of the targe manifold.\n\nThen we will come to local 1 dimensional Susy. The BR ST quantization shows that the cohomology of the system is a spinor for N=1\, vector for N=2 e.t.c. We will attemp to couple to background by ex tending the BRST charge by minimal coupling\, the requirement of nilpote nt of the BRST charge will enforce field equations on the background. As a non-trivial example\, we will show that N=2 spinnig particle can cosi stently couple to background YM fields.\n\nReferences:\nFor introduction to global 1-d Susy quantum mechanics see\n "Mirror Symmetry" the book c hp 9 10.\nFor cohomology of spinning particles see R.

However\, in the hadronic environment of the LHC \, most events have very complex signatures. A successful search for the Higgs or new physics then requires the precise understanding of Standar d Model backgrounds. Precision calculations of the relevant scattering p rocesses are extremely difficult\, the main bottleneck being the computa tion of multi-leg one-loop amplitudes. To date\, no complete 2 -> 4 proc ess has been calculated using traditional (Feynman graph) techniques. I will present new on-shell methods for the calculation of multi-leg ampli tudes. These methods have been implemented in the program BlackHat. I wi ll report on the first next-to-leading order QCD computation of a 2 -> 4 process in hadronic collisions\, W + 3 jet production\, that can be dir ectly compared to experiment.

This duali ty was found in the\ncontext of Generalized Complex Geometry (GCG)\, whi ch is an appropriate\nmathematical language for type II Supergravity. GC G was first used in the\ncontext of flux compactifications. We begin by briefly reviewing how GCG\nprovides a mathematical characterization of i nternal manifolds\, when one\nis looking for type II SUSY Minkowski flux vacua. Then we give more\ndetails on GCG\, in order to understand the a ction of Twist duality. After\npresenting the latter\, we give concrete type II solutions that are mapped\nthis way. Finally\, we turn to the he terotic String Theory\, where no GCG\ndescription has been made so far. We introduce GCG objects\, and then\nperform the Twist duality to reprod uce the known Kähler/non-Kähler\ntransition.
