New Guinea is a region characterized by rapid oblique convergence between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. The detailed tectonics of the region, including the partitioning of relative block motions and fault slip rates within this complex boundary plate boundary zone are still not well understood. In this study, we quantify the distribution of the deformation throughout the central a…

Statistical models of geomagnetic secular variations in terms of a Giant Gaussian Process (GGP) are compared with palaeontensity databases (Brunhes epoch, effusive rocks). We tested two GGP models TK and QC (suggested by Tauxe-Kent and Quidelleur-Courtillot) against 392 volcanic palaeointensity data, and found both models to be incompatible with the data. Even though at present there is no acce…

We derive the consistency relations for a chaotic inflation model with a non-minimal coupling to gravity. For a quadratic potential in the limit of a small non-minimal coupling parameter ξ and for a quartic potential without assuming small ξ , we give the consistency relations among the spectral index ns , the tensor-to-scalar ratio r , and the running of the spectral index α. W…

The extended completeness relation (ECR), established in the complex scaling method, is applied to the energy levels calculated from the absorbing boundary condition (ABC) using the basis expansion technique. The strength function of the binary breakup, induced by the external dipole field, is calculated on the basis of the ABC + ECR method. The strength function calculated from ABC + ECR nicel…

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been widely used in environmental applications to study processes associated with subsurface contaminants and contaminant remediation. Anthropogenic alterations in subsurface electrical conductivity associated with contamination often originate from highly industrialized areas with significant amounts of buried metallic infrastructure. The deleterious…

An Abelian gauge theory with a Chern–Simons (CS) term is investigated for a four-component Dirac fermion in 1 + 2 dimensions. The Ball–Chiu (BC) vertex function is employed to modify the rainbow-ladder approximation for the Schwinger–Dyson (SD) equation. We numerically solve the SD equation and show the gauge dependence for the resulting phase boundary for the parity and the chiral symmetry.

On the basis of quantum field theory, we consider a unified description of various processes accompanied by neutrinos, namely, weak decays and oscillation processes. The structures of the expectation values of flavor-neutrino numbers with respect to the neutrino-source hadron state are investigated. Due to the smallness of neutrino masses, we naturally obtain the old (i.e., premixing) formulas …

Two-player N-strategy games quantized according to the Eisert–Lewenstein–Wilkens scheme [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 3077 (1999)] are considered. Group-theoretical methods are applied to the problem of finding a general formof gate operators (entanglers) under the assumption that the set of classical pure strategies is contained in the set of pure quantum ones. The role of the stability group of t…

Since the development of the radiating electron theory by P. A.M. Dirac in 1938 [P. A.M. Dirac, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 167, 148 (1938)], many authors have tried to reformulate this model, called the “radiation reaction”. Recently, this equation has become important for ultra-intense laser–electron (plasma) interactions. In our recent research, we found a stabilized model of the radiation r…
