چکیده
We give an upper estimate for the number of gamma ray bursts from ordinary (non-superconducting) cosmic strings expected to be observed at terrestrial detectors. Assuming that cusp annihilation is the mechanism responsible for the bursts we consider strings arising at a GUT phase transition and compare our estimate with the recent BATSE results. Further we give a lower limit for the effective area of future detectors designed to detect the cosmic string induced flux of gamma ray bursts.

We report on measurements of the total cross section for ee → γγ for center-ofmass energies between 57.4 and 59.5 GeV, using the AMY detector at the TRISTAN collider. We set new limits on the production of a possible new s-channel resonance decaying into photon pairs.

A critical assessment of the available calculations of the top quark width is presented. QCD corrections, the finite mass of the b quark and the effect of the W width are included as well as the electroweak corrections. The relative importance of these corrections is demonstrated for the realistic range of top masses. For the QCD corrected decay rate we use the formulae from [1] and include the...

We perform a perturbative analysis of the Aharonov-Bohm problem to one loop in a field-theoretic formulation, and show that contact interactions are necessary for renormalizability. In general, the classical scale invariance of this problem is broken quantum mechanically. There exists however a critical point for which this anomaly disappears.

Canonical treatment of two dimensional gravity as an anomalous gauge theory ABSTRACT The extended phase space method of Batalin, Fradkin and Vilkovisky is applied to formulate two dimensional gravity in a general class of gauges. A BRST formulation of the light-cone gauge is presented to reveal the relationship between the BRST symmetry and the origin of SL(2, R) current algebra. From the same ...

Low-harmonic formulas for closed relativistic strings are given. General parametrizations are presented for the addition of second-and third-harmonic waves to the fundamental wave. The method of determination of the parametriza-tions is based upon a product representation found for the finite Fourier series of string motion in which the constraints are automatically satisfied. The construction ...
