New conjecture for the SUq(N)SU_q(N) Perk-Schultz models

We present a new conjecture for the $SU_q(N)$ Perk-Schultz models. This conjecture extends a conjecture presented in our article (Alcaraz FC and Stroganov YuG (2002) J. Phys. A vol. 35 pg. 6767-6787, and also in cond-mat/0204074).Comment: 3 pages 0 figure

The Deuteron Spin Structure Functions in the Bethe-Salpeter Approach and the Extraction of the Neutron Structure Function g1n(x)g_1^n(x)

The nuclear effects in the spin-dependent structure functions $g_1^D$ and $b_2^D$ are calculated in the relativistic approach based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation with a realistic meson-exchange potential. The results of calculations are compared with the non-relativistic calculations. The problem of extraction of the neutron spin structure function, $g_1^n$, from the deuteron data is discussed.Comment: (Talk given at the SPIN'94 International Symposium, September 15-22, 1994, Bloomington, Indiana), 6 pages, 5 figures, Preprint Alberta Thy 29-9

Matrix Model Calculations beyond the Spherical Limit

We propose an improved iterative scheme for calculating higher genus contributions to the multi-loop (or multi-point) correlators and the partition function of the hermitian one matrix model. We present explicit results up to genus two. We develop a version which gives directly the result in the double scaling limit and present explicit results up to genus four. Using the latter version we prove that the hermitian and the complex matrix model are equivalent in the double scaling limit and that in this limit they are both equivalent to the Kontsevich model. We discuss how our results away from the double scaling limit are related to the structure of moduli space.Comment: 44 page

Self force in 2+1 electrodynamics

The radiation reaction problem for an electric charge moving in flat space-time of three dimensions is discussed. The divergences stemming from the pointness of the particle are studied. A consistent regularization procedure is proposed, which exploits the Poincar\'e invariance of the theory. Effective equation of motion of radiating charge in an external electromagnetic field is obtained via the consideration of energy-momentum and angular momentum conservation. This equation includes the effect of the particle's own field. The radiation reaction is determined by the Lorentz force of point-like charge acting upon itself plus a non-local term which provides finiteness of the self-action.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figure
