Evolving small-world networks with geographical attachment preference
We introduce a minimal extended evolving model for small-world networks which
is controlled by a parameter. In this model the network growth is determined by
the attachment of new nodes to already existing nodes that are geographically
close. We analyze several topological properties for our model both
analytically and by numerical simulations. The resulting network shows some
important characteristics of real-life networks such as the small-world effect
and a high clustering.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
Early photon-shock interaction in stellar wind: sub-GeV photon flash and high energy neutrino emission from long GRBs
For gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) born in a stellar wind, as the reverse shock
crosses the ejecta, usually the shocked regions are still precipitated by the
prompt MeV \gamma-ray emission. Because of the tight overlapping of the MeV
photon flow with the shocked regions, the optical depth for the GeV photons
produced in the shocks is very large. These high energy photons are absorbed by
the MeV photon flow and generate relativistic e^\pm pairs. These pairs
re-scatter the soft X-ray photons from the forward shock as well as the prompt
\gamma-ray photons and power detectable high energy emission, significant part
of which is in the sub-GeV energy range. Since the total energy contained in
the forward shock region and the reverse shock region are comparable, the
predicted sub-GeV emission is independent on whether the GRB ejecta are
magnetized (in which case the reverse shock IC and synchrotron self-Compton
emission is suppressed). As a result, a sub-GeV flash is a generic signature
for the GRB wind model, and it should be typically detectable by the future
{\em Gamma-Ray Large Area Telescope} (GLAST). Overlapping also influence
neutrino emission. Besides the 10^{15} \sim 10^{17} eV neutrino emission
powered by the interaction of the shock accelerated protons with the
synchrotron photons in both the forward and reverse shock regions, there comes
another eV neutrino emission component powered by protons interacting
with the MeV photon flow. This last component has a similar spectrum to the one
generated in the internal shock phase, but the typical energy is slightly
lower.Comment: 7 pages, accepted for publication in Ap
The Short Range Mechanism of N-N interaction in the Extended Chiral SU(3) Quark Model
We give the comparisons between the chiral SU(3) quark model and the extended
chiral SU(3) quark model. The results show that the phase shifts of NN
scattering are very similar. However, the short range mechanisms of
nucleon-nucleon interaction are totally different. In the chiral SU(3) quark
model, the short range interaction is dominantly from OGE, and in the extended
chiral SU(3) quark model, it is dominantly from vector meson exchanges.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure. Contribution talk at MENU2004, to be published in

The yoga of commutators
In the present paper we discuss some recent versions of localisation methods
for calculations in the groups of points of algebraic-like and classical-like
groups. Namely, we describe relative localisation, universal localisation, and
enhanced versions of localisation-completion. Apart from the general strategic
description of these methods, we state some typical technical results of the
conjugation calculus and the commutator calculus. Also, we state several recent
results obtained therewith, such as relative standard commutator formulae,
bounded width of commutators, with respect to the elementary generators, and
nilpotent filtrations of congruence subgroups. Overall, this shows that
localisation methods can be much more efficient, than expected
