We perform long-term simulations of spinning binary neutron stars, with our highest dimensionless spin being $\chi \sim 0.32$. To assess the importance of spin during the inspiral we vary the spin, and also use two equations of state, one…
We discuss questions related to the interpretation of unexpected results of measurements of the proton form factors ratio G_E/G_M in the polarization experiments done in JLab in the region of 0.5 < Q^2 < 8.5 GeV^2. For this purpose, in the…
We calculate the contributions arising at order $\alpha_s$ in the QCD sum rule for the spin-symmetry violating universal function $\chi_3(v\cdot v')$, which appears at order $1/m_Q$ in the heavy quark expansion of meson form factors. In…
We consider two limiting regimes, the large-spin and the mean-field limit, for the dynamical evolution of quantum spin systems. We prove that, in these limits, the time evolution of a class of quantum spin systems is determined by a…
A calculation of the non-singlet part of spin dependent structure function, $xg_1^{NS}(x,Q^2)$ and associated sum rule, the Bjorken Sum rule up to next-next-to-leading order(NNLO) is presented. We use a unified approach incorporating Regge…
In several situations of interest, spin polarization may be generated far from the boundaries of a sample by nonlinear effects of an electric current, even when such a generation is forbidden by symmetry in the linear regime. We present an…
In a recent eprint [1] it is argued that the experimental determinations of the spin-dependent structure function g1 have been done incorrectly and that a reanalysis of those data suggests that the original motivation to argue fora "spin…
We systematically compute the effective short-range potentials arising from second order QCD-diagrams related to bound states of quarks, antiquarks, and gluons. Our formalism relies on the assumption that the exchanged gluons are massless,…
The neutron spin structure function, $g_{1n}$, has been of considerable interest recently in connection with the Bjorken sum rule and the proton spin crisis. Work on this problem has concentrated on measurements at low-$x$. We recall the…
The role of the $U(1)_A$ anomaly in QCD phenomenology is reviewed, focusing on the relation between quark dynamics and gluon topology. Topics covered include a generalisation of the Witten-Veneziano formula for the mass of the $\eta'$, the…
The empirical identification of bound states of gluons has remained a central goal of hadron spectroscopy. We suggest an experimentally challenging, but model--independent way to assess which zero charge, isospin-zero mesons have a large…
The theoretical predictions are given for the forward limit of the unpolarized spin-flip isovector generalized parton distribution function $(E^u - E^d)(x, \xi, t)$ within the framework of the chiral quark soliton model, with full inclusion…
The dynamical evolution of collisionless particles in an expanding background is described. After discussing qualitatively the key features, the gravitational clustering of collisionless particles in an expanding universe is modelled using…
We discuss the nonleading, ``soft" contribution to the pion form factor at intermediate momentum transfer within operator product expansion approach. We argue, that the corresponding contribution can temporarily {\bf simulate} the leading…
This talk reviews some of the hot topics in spin physics and related subjects, including perturbative QCD predictions for polarized parton distributions and their possible behaviours at small x, the Bjorken and singlet sum rules and the…
Spin correlations, using a generic spin basis, are investigated to leading order in QCD for top quark production at lepton colliders. Even though, these radiative corrections induce an anomalous gamma/Z magnetic moment for the top quarks…
In this second paper in a series, we show that the the general statistical approach to nonrelativistic quantum mechanics developed in the first paper yields a representation of quantum spin and magnetic moments based on classical…
We derive, in a manifestly covariant and electromagnetic gauge independent way, the evolution law of the electric field $E^\alpha = Ee^\alpha\ (e^\alpha e_\alpha=1)$, relative to an arbitrary set of instantaneous observers along a null…
We derive two sum rules by studying the low energy Compton scattering on a target of arbitrary (nonzero) spin j. In the first sum rule, we consider the possibility that the intermediate state in the scattering can have spin |j \pm 1| and…
We describe a mechanism of spin transfer between individual quantum dots that does not require tunneling. Incident circularly-polarized photons create inter-band excitons with non-zero electron spin in the first quantum dot. When the…
