In this paper, we extend the result of Kitaev and Korotkin to the case where a monodromy-preserving deformation has an irregular singularity. For the monodromy-preserving deformation, we obtain the $\tau$-function whose deformation…
The structure of the form factors stemmed from the hadronization of QCD currents in the energy region of the resonances can be explored through the analyses of exclusive hadronic decays of the tau lepton. I give a short review on the later…

The anomalous magnetic moment of the tau lepton $a_\tau = (g_\tau -2)/2$ strikingly evades measurement, but is highly sensitive to new physics such as compositeness or supersymmetry. We propose using ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions at…
A preliminary measurement of the branching fraction of the tau- -> 3h-2h+nu decay (h= pi, K$) with the BaBar detector is found to be {8.52 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.40} x 10E-4, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. The…
We have calculated the decay $\tau \rightarrow \nu \pi(K) \gamma$. We present the photon energy spectrum, the meson-photon invariant mass spectrum and the integrated rate as a function of a photon energy cut or an invariant mass cut. Both…
We calculate distributions for tau+ tau- gamma production at LEP 1 taking into account a potentially existing anomalous magnetic moment a_tau of the tau lepton. The existing upper limits for |a_tau| are known from the dependence of the…
The leading hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moments of the electron and the $\tau$-lepton are determined by a four-flavour lattice QCD computation with twisted mass fermions. The continuum limit is taken and systematic…
Analytic formulae are given for order alpha_s perturbative QCD corrections to the double differential distribution of the tau lepton energy and the invariant mass of the tau + antineutrino system in semileptonic decays of the bottom quark.…
It is pointed out that certain CP-odd momentum correlations in the production and subsequent decay of tau pairs in $e^+e^-$ collisions get enhanced when the $e^-$ is longitudinally polarized. Analytic expressions for these correlations are…

Measurements of identified particles from Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on nuclear modification, baryon-to-meson ratios, and elliptic flow at intermediate transverse momentum ($1.5 < p_T <…
The $\tau^\pm$, highly polarized in the direction of the incident beam, can be obtained from the $e^\pm$ collider with the polarized incident $e^-$ (and preferably also the $e^+$) beam. This polarization vector $\longvec…

We revisit the constraints implied by SN 1987 A observations on the decay rate of a multi-MeV $\nu_\tau$ decaying into the visible channel $\nu_\tau \rightarrow e^+ e^- \nu_e$, if its lifetime is more than 10 {\it sec.}. We discuss its…
