<Session 2: Fish Telemetry II>Homing behaviour of black rockfish
19–22 May 2021 Kyoto, JapanA lot of rockfish in the genus Sebastes exhibit distinctive homing ability. They can return back to an original location after displacement of metres or even kilometres. The black rockfish S. cheni is a site-specific fish, and shows homing to their original habitat after displacement. Using highresolution acoustic telemetry, we monitored homing behavior of the eight rockfish. The results demonstrated that they spent their time around the release site, and during this period they moved in the upstream and/or downstream direction. Then they gradually returning to their familiar area, and finally showed directed movements to the original habitat
Meta-stable Vacuum in Spontaneously Broken N=2 Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
We consider an N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) \times U(1) gauge theory with N_f=2
massless flavors and a Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) term. In the presence of the FI
term, supersymmetry is spontaneously broken at tree level (on the Coulomb
branch), leaving a pseudo-flat direction in the classical potential. This
vacuum degeneracy is removed once quantum corrections are taken into account.
Due to the SU(2) gauge dynamics, the effective potential exhibits a local
minimum at the dyon point, where not only supersymmetry but also U(1)_R
symmetry is broken, while a supersymmetric vacuum would be realized toward
infinity with the runaway behavior of the potential. This local minimum is
found to be parametrically long-lived. Interestingly, from a phenomenological
point of view, in this meta-stable vacuum the massive hypermultiplets inherent
in the theory play the role of the messenger fields in the gauge mediation
scenario, when the Standard Model gauge group is embedded into their flavor
symmetry.Comment: 27 pages, 11 figures, journal reference added, minor modifications in

Color Superconductivity in N=2 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
We study vacuum structure of N=2 supersymmetric (SUSY) QCD, based on the
gauge group SU(2) with N_f=2 flavors of massive hypermultiplet quarks, in the
presence of non-zero baryon chemical potential (\mu). The theory has a
classical vacuum preserving baryon number symmetry, when a mass term, which
breaks N=2 SUSY but preserves N=1 SUSY, for the adjoint gauge chiral multiplet
(m_{ad}) is introduced. By using the exact result of N=2 SUSY QCD, we analyze
low energy effective potential at the leading order of perturbation with
respect to small SUSY breaking parameters, \mu and m_{ad}. We find that the
baryon number is broken as a consequence of the SU(2) strong gauge dynamics, so
that color superconductivity dynamically takes place at the non-SUSY vacuum.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures, a figure and discussions added in Sec. 4,

Massive Hyper-Kahler Sigma Models and BPS Domain Walls
With the non-Abelian Hyper-Kahler quotient by U(M) and SU(M) gauge groups, we
give the massive Hyper-Kahler sigma models that are not toric in the N=1
superfield formalism. The U(M) quotient gives N!/[M! (N-M)!] (N is a number of
flavors) discrete vacua that may allow various types of domain walls, whereas
the SU(M) quotient gives no discrete vacua. We derive BPS domain wall solution
in the case of N=2 and M=1 in the U(M) quotient model.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figure, contribution to the Proceedings of the

The Experimental plan of the 4m Resonant Sideband Extraction Prototype for The LCGT
The 4m Resonant Sideband Extraction (RSE) interferometer is a planned prototype of the LCGT interferometer. The aim of the experiment is to operate a powerrecycled Broadband RSE interferometer with suspended optics and to achieve diagonalization of length signals of the central part of the interferometer directly through the optical setup. Details of the 4m RSE interferometer control method as well as the design of the experimental setup will be presented
Re-appearance of antiferromagnetic ordering with Zn and Ni substitution in La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4
The effects of nonmagnetic Zn and magnetic Ni substitution for Cu site on
magnetism are studied by measurements of uniform magnetic susceptibility for
lightly doped La_{2-x}Sr_xCu_{1-z}M_zO_4 (M=Zn or Ni) polycrystalline samples.
For the parent x=0, Zn doping suppresses the N\'{e}el temperature T_N whereas
Ni doping hardly changes T_N up to z=0.3. For the lightly doped samples with
T_N~0, the Ni doping recovers T_N. For the superconducting samples, the Ni
doping induces the superconductivity-to-antiferromagnetic transition (or
crossover). All the heavily Ni doped samples indicate a spin glass behavior at
\~15 K.Comment: 2 pages including 3 figures, to be published in Physica C (LT23,

Noise-Induced Synchronization and Clustering in Ensembles of Uncoupled Limit-Cycle Oscillators
We study synchronization properties of general uncoupled limit-cycle
oscillators driven by common and independent Gaussian white noises. Using phase
reduction and averaging methods, we analytically derive the stationary
distribution of the phase difference between oscillators for weak noise
intensity. We demonstrate that in addition to synchronization, clustering, or
more generally coherence, always results from arbitrary initial conditions,
irrespective of the details of the oscillators.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
