Full pseudoscalar mesonic chiral Lagrangian at p6 order under the unitary group
We construct the full p6 order chiral Lagrangians for the unitary group and
special unitary groups, including nf-, three- and two-flavor cases, all
bilinear currents (scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, axial-vector and tensor
currents) and theta parameter. The number of independent operators are 1391,
1326 and 969 for each of the flavor unitary groups. From these results, we find
one extra linear relation among the traditional p4 order low-energy constants
under the U(3) group, and some more linear relations with tensor sources for
the p6 order low-energy constants in the special unitary groups. We develop a
scheme to obtain the relations for the dependent operators in terms of
independent operators.Comment: 23 page
Achieving acoustic cloak by using compressible background flow
We propose a scheme of acoustic spherical cloaking by means of background
irrotational flow in compressible fluid. The background flow forms a virtual
curved spacetime and guides the sound waves bypass the cloaked objects. To
satisfy the laws of real fluid, we show that spatially distributed mass source
and momentum source are necessary to supply. The propagation of sound waves in
this system is studied via both geometric acoustics approximation and full wave
approach. The analytic solution of sound fields is obtained for plane wave
incidence. The results reveal the effect of phase retardation (or lead) in
comparison with the ordinary transformation-acoustic cloak. In addition, the
ability of cloaking is also evaluated for unideal background flows by analyzing
the scattering cross section.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figure
