Description of Relativistic Heavy--Light Quark--Antiquark Systems via Dirac Equations
Starting from the QCD Lagrangian and taking into account both perturbative and nonperturbative effects, we use the method of vacuum correlators to derive the Dirac equation (rigorously for the Coulomb interaction and heuristically for the confining potential) for a system consisting of a light quark and heavy antiquark...

Long Distance Contribution to $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$
We estimate the long distance contribution to the $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ decay amplitude using chiral perturbation theory. We find that it is likely to be less than a few percent of the part of the short distance contribution proportional to the square of the charm quark mass. In the large $N_c$ limit the ...

Finite-element quantum electrodynamics. II. Lattice propagators, current commutators, and axial-vector anomalies
We apply the finite-element lattice equations of motion for quantum electrodynamics given in the first paper in this series to examine anomalies in the current operators. By taking explicit lattice divergences of the vector and axial-vector currents we compute the vector and axial-vector anomalies in two and four dimen...

Testing Gluon Self-Interactions in Three Jet Events at Hadron Colliders
The effective operator tr(G^3) is the only dimension-6 gluonic operator that cannot be related to four-quark operators. A peculiar property of this operator is that it does not contribute to two-jet production at hadron colliders, at the level of one operator insertion and leading-order in alpha_s; therefore we study i...

We use the gauged linear sigma model introduced by Witten to calculate instanton expansions for correlation functions in topological sigma models with target space a toric variety $V$ or a Calabi--Yau hypersurface $M \subset V$. In the linear model the instanton moduli spaces are relatively simple objects and the corre...

The Refined Elliptic Genus and Coulomb Gas Formulations of $N=2$ Superconformal Coset Models
We describe, in some detail, a number of different Coulomb gas formulations of $N=2$ superconformal coset models. We also give the mappings between these formulations. The ultimate purpose of this is to show how the Landau-Ginzburg structure of these models can be used to extract the $W$-generators, and to show how the...

Fermionic and bosonic pair creation in an external electric field at finite temperature using the functional Schr\"odinger representation
We solve the time evolution of the density matrix both for fermions and bosons in the presence of a homogeneous but time dependent external electric field. The number of particles produced by the external field, as well as their distribution in momentum space is found for finite times. Furthermore, we calculate the pro...

Separation of variables and the XXZ Gaudin magnet
In this work we generalise previous results connecting (rational) Gaudin magnet models and classical separation of variables. It is shown that the connection persists for the case of linear r-matrix algebra which corresponds to the trigonometric 4x4 r-matrix (of the XXZ type). We comment also on the corresponding probl...
