We develop a microscopic theoryof the trion polaron: a bound state of two electrons and one hole, dressed by longitudinal optical (LO) phonons. Starting from the Frohlich Hamiltonian, which describes the interaction of charged particles…
For a pair of distinct non-CM newforms of weights at least 2, having rational integral Fourier coefficients $a_{1}(n)$ and $a_{2}(n)$, under GRH, we obtain an estimate for the set of primes $p$ such that $$ \omega(a_1(p)-a_2(p)) \le […
A recently proposed parametrization for the deep inelastic diffractive cross section is used to describe the H1 94 data. We find two possible solutions, and we discuss them is some detail.
A new connection between two different necessary conditions for a polymatroid to be linearly representable is presented. Specifically, we prove that the existence of a tensor product with the uniform matroid of rank two on three elements…
From the point of view of the R-parity breaking supersymmetric model, we propose a scalar top (stop) search with longitudinally polarized electron (e-) and positron(e+) beams which will soon be available at the upgraded HERA. Fully…
These notes are a summary of our efforts to answer the question in the title. Our answer is in the affirmative as: (i) HERA data indicate a large value of the gluon structure function; (ii) no contradictions with the asymptotic predictions…
A first measurement is presented of exclusive photoproduction of $\rho^0$ mesons associated with leading neutrons at HERA. The data were taken with the H1 detector in the years 2006 and 2007 at a centre-of-mass energy of 319 GeV and…
New experimental data from HERA explore the region of very small x and small and moderate $Q^2$. We study the role of unitarity corrections in the description of these data. For that, we propose a model separating the small and large…
We present here some arguments to support our suggestion that data on the helicity structure for the hard exclusive electroproduction of $\rho$ mesons at HERA (and in possible future high-energy electron-proton colliders) provide useful…
We provide a simpler proof and slight strengthening of Morrey's famous lemma on $\varepsilon$-conformal mappings. Our result more generally applies to Sobolev maps with values in a complete metric space and we obtain applications to the…
This paper supersedes the preprint Superloop Equations in the Double Scaling Limit, CERN-TH-6575. It is an improved version with corrections in the derivation of the continuum limit, a clarification of the doubling of degrees of freedom for…
We describe new QCD fits to diffractive cross sections measured at HERA and we use the parton densities derived from these fits to predict the shape of the dijet mass fraction in double Pomeron exchange at the Tevatron. We discuss the…
A contact four-fermion interaction between light quarks and electrons has been evoked as a possible explanation for the excess of events observed by HERA at high-$Q^2$. We explore the 1-loop effects of such interaction in $\Gamma(Z^0 \to…
Light charged hadron production data in the current fragmentation region at HERA are calculated using next-to-leading order perturbative calculations and fragmentation functions obtained from similar data from e+ e- reactions. General good…
In this paper we argue that in the kinematic range given by $ 1 \ll \ln(1/\as^2) \ll \as Y \ll \frac{1}{\as}$, we can reduce the Pomeron calculus to the exchange of non-interacting Pomerons with the renormalized amplitude of their…
The polaron model of H. Fr\"ohlich describes an electron coupled to the quantized longitudinal optical modes of a polar crystal. In the strong-coupling limit one expects that the phonon modes may be treated classically, which leads to a…
By using an extended Regge parametrization and taking into account the discrepancies in the high-energy pp and p(bar)p total cross section data, in both accelerator and cosmic-ray regions, we estimate extrema bounds for the soft Pomeron…
There is no theoretical reason to think that the spin-flip component of the Pomeron is zero. One can measure the spin-flip part using Coulomb-nuclear interference (CNI). Perturbative QCD calculations show that the spin-flip component is…
We show that every isoperimetric set in R^N with density is bounded if the density is continuous and bounded by above and below. This improves the previously known boundedness results, which basically needed a Lipschitz assumption; on the…
We give predictions for diffractive heavy flavour production at the Tevatron and the LHC in leading--order approximation. In the framework of these studies we use three different models for the partonic structure of the Pomeron recently…
