Dilatons in the topological soliton model for the hyperons
We show that the predicted hyperon masses in the topological soliton model are very sensitive to the value of the gluon condensate parameter that appears when the scale invariance and trace anomaly of QCD are taken into account by introduction of a dilaton field. This contrasts with the insensitivity of the soliton pro...

The effective potential at finite temperature in the left-right symmetric model
We obtain the effective potential at finite temperature within the left-right symmetric model. We take the Higgs sector to consist of two doublets and calculate its finite temperature effective potential up to the order of ``ring-diagrams'', using analogous techniques to those employed in the derivation of the effectiv...

Instability of Bubbles Near the Hadron--Quark-Gluon-Plasma Phase Transition
The small surface tension of the interface between hadronic and quark-gluon-plasma domains, along with a negative curvature tension, implies that the uniform plasma is unstable against spontaneous formation of hadronic bubbles. We furthermore show that spherical bubbles are not stable against small perturbations.

Variational Method for Studying Solitons in the KdV equation

We present a QCD sum rule calculation of the spin-symmetry violating universal function $\chi_2(v\cdot v')$, which appears at order $1/m_Q$ in the heavy quark expansion of meson form factors. This function vanishes in the standard approximation, where radiative effects are neglected. For the first time, the complete se...

Second Order Power Corrections in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory II. Baryon Form Factors
The analysis of $1/m_Q^2$ corrections of the previous paper is extended to the semileptonic decays of heavy baryons. We focus on the simplest case, the ground state $\Lambda_Q$ baryons, in which the light degrees of freedom are in a state of zero total angular momentum. The formalism, while identical in spirit, is cons...

For the ground state pseudoscalar and vector mesons, this expansion...
