The quantization of the chiral Schwinger model based on the BFT-BFV formalism II
We apply an improved version of Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin (BFT) Hamiltonian
method to the a=1 chiral Schwinger Model, which is much more nontrivial than
the a>1.\delta\xi$ in the measure. As a result, we explicitly
obtain the fully gauge invariant partition function, which includes a new type
of Wess-Zumino (WZ) term irrelevant to the gauge symmetry as well as usual WZ
action.Comment: 17 pages, To be published in J. Phys.

Fast Fight Detection
Action recognition has become a hot topic within computer vision. However, the action recognition community has focused mainly on relatively simple actions like clapping, walking, jogging, etc. The detection of specific events with direct practical use such as fights or in general aggressive behavior has been comparatively less studied. Such capability may be extremely useful in some video surveillance scenarios like prisons, psychiatric centers or even embedded in camera phones. As a consequence, there is growing interest in developing violence detection algorithms. Recent work considered the well-known Bag-of-Words framework for the specific problem of fight detection. Under this framework, spatio-temporal features are extracted from the video sequences and used for classification. Despite encouraging results in which high accuracy rates were achieved, the computational cost of extracting such features is prohibitive for practical applications. This work proposes a novel method to detect violence sequences. Features extracted from motion blobs are used to discriminate fight and non-fight sequences. Although the method is outperformed in accuracy by state of the art, it has a significantly faster computation time thus making it amenable for real-time applications
Maximizing phonon thermal conductance for ballistic membranes
At low temperatures, phonon scattering can become so weak that phonon
transport becomes ballistic. We calculate the ballistic phonon conductance G
for membranes using elasticity theory, considering the transition from three to
two dimensions. We discuss the temperature and thickness dependence and
especially concentrate on the issue of material parameters. For all membrane
thicknesses, the best conductors have, counter-intuitively, the lowest speed of
sound.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, proceedings to phonons 2007 conferenc
Einstein Gravity on a Brane in 5D Non-compact Flat Spacetime -DGP model revisited-
We revisit the 5D gravity model by Dvali, Gabadadze, and Porrati (DGP).
Within their framework it was shown that even in 5D non-compact Minkowski space
, the Newtonian gravity can emerge on a brane at short distances by
introducing a brane-localized 4D Einstein-Hilbert term
in the action. Based on this idea,
we construct simple setups in which graviton standing waves can arise, and we
introduce brane-localized derivative terms as a correction to
. We show that the gravity potential
of brane matter becomes at {\it long} distances, because the
brane-localized derivative terms allow only a smooth graviton wave function
near the brane. Since the bulk gravity coupling may be arbitrarily small,
strongly interacting modes from the 5D graviton do not appear. We note that the
brane metric utilized to construct
can be relatively different from the bulk metric by a conformal factor, and
show that the graviton tensor structure that the 4D Einstein gravity predicts
are reproduced in DGP type models.Comment: 1+12 pages, no figure, to appear in JHE
A Novel Method for the Solution of the Schroedinger Eq. in the Presence of Exchange Terms
In the Hartree-Fock approximation the Pauli exclusion principle leads to a
Schroedinger Eq. of an integro-differential form. We describe a new spectral
noniterative method (S-IEM), previously developed for solving the
Lippman-Schwinger integral equation with local potentials, which has now been
extended so as to include the exchange nonlocality. We apply it to the
restricted case of electron-Hydrogen scattering in which the bound electron
remains in the ground state and the incident electron has zero angular
momentum, and we compare the acuracy and economy of the new method to three
other methods. One is a non-iterative solution (NIEM) of the integral equation
as described by Sams and Kouri in 1969. Another is an iterative method
introduced by Kim and Udagawa in 1990 for nuclear physics applications, which
makes an expansion of the solution into an especially favorable basis obtained
by a method of moments. The third one is based on the Singular Value
Decomposition of the exchange term followed by iterations over the remainder.
The S-IEM method turns out to be more accurate by many orders of magnitude than
any of the other three methods described above for the same number of mesh
points.Comment: 29 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.

Photonic Crystal Cavities and Waveguides
Recently, it has also become possible to microfabricate high reflectivity mirrors by creating two- and three-dimensional periodic structures. These periodic "photonic crystals" can be designed to open up frequency bands within which the propagation of electromagnetic waves is forbidden irrespective of the propagation direction in space and define photonic bandgaps. When combined with high index contrast slabs in which light can be efficiently guided, microfabricated two-dimensional photonic bandgap mirrors provide us with the geometries needed to confine and concentrate light into extremely small volumes and to obtain very high field intensities. Here we show the use of these "artificially" microfabricated crystals in functional nonlinear optical devices, such as lasers, modulators, and waveguides
