We study the giant magnon solutions in the near horizon geometry of the Neveu-Schwarz (NS) 5-brane background. In conformal gauge, we find magnon dispersion relation in the large angular momentum (J) limit. We further show that the giant magnon poses uniform distribution of the angular momentum along the string world-sheet as in case of AdS5 × S5 spacetime.

The form of the propagating electrostatic Bernstein mode in a relativistic electron-positron plasma is markedly different from that in the classical plasma, once the momentum-dependent cyclotron frequency is accounted for in full inside the integrations. Given that particles in different parts of momentum space "see" a different cyclotron frequency, there is no simple global singularity which r...

We study the dispersion relation for scalar excitations in supersymmetric, noncommutative theories at finite temperature. In N =4 Yang-Mills the low momenta modes have superluminous group velocity. In the massless Wess-Zumino model the minimum of the dispersion relation is at non zero momentum for temperatures above T0 ≈ (gθ) 1 2 . We briefly comment on N =2 Yang-Mills at finite density.

Within the framework of a relativistic transport model (ART) for heavy-ion collisions at AGS energies, we examine the effects of kaon dispersion relation on the transverse flow of kaons and their transverse momentum and azimuthal angle distributions. We find that the transverse flow is the most sensitive observable for studying the kaon dispersion relation in dense medium.

The Cn parameters are the dispersion coefficients while R is the distance between the two nuclei. The procedures for determining the dispersion coefficients for identical atoms in two spherically symmetric states are known and there has been a lot of activity in calculating the van der Waals coefficients for such atoms 3–9 . When one of the atoms is in a state with nonzero angular momentum the ...
