Study of N*(1440) from J/Psi Decays

For $J/Ψ\to\bar pp π^0$ and $\bar ppπ^+π^-$, the $π^0p$ and $pπ^+π^-$ systems are limited to be pure isospin 1/2 due to isospin conservation. This is a big advantage in studying $N^*$ resonances from $J/Ψ$ decays, compared with $πN$ and $γN$ experiments. The process $J/Ψ\to\bar pN^*$ or $p\bar N^*$ provides a new way to probe the internal structure of the $N^*$ resonances. Here we report a quark model calculation for $J/Ψ\to\bar pp$, $pN^*(1440)$ and $\bar N^*N^*$. The implication for the internal structure of $N^*(1440)$ is discussed.

$Q^2$--Dependence of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn Sum Rule

We test the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum rule numerically by calculating the total photon absorption cross sections $σ_{1/2}$ and $σ_{3/2}$ on the nucleon via photon excitation of baryon resonances in the constituent quark model. A total of seventeen, low-lying, non-strange baryon resonances are included in this calculation. The transverse and longitudinal interference cross section, $σ_{1/2}^{TL}$, is found to play an important role in the study of the $Q^2$ variation of the sum rule. The results show that the GDH sum rule is saturated by these resonances at a confidence level of 94%. In particular, the $P_{33}(1232)$ excitation largely saturates the sum rule at $Q^2 = 0$, and dominates at small $Q^2$. The GDH integral has a strong $Q^2$-dependence below $Q^2= 1.0 {GeV}^2$ and changes its sign around $Q^2= 0.3 {GeV}^2$. It becomes weakly $Q^2$-dependent for $Q^2 > 1.0 {GeV}^2$ because of the quick decline of the resonance contributions. We point out that the $Q^2$ variation of the GDH sum rule is very important for understanding the nucleon spin structure in the non-perturbative QCD region.

Time-Dependent Symmetries of Variable-Coefficient Evolution Equations and Graded Lie Algebras

Polynomial-in-time dependent symmetries are analysed for polynomial-in-time dependent evolution equations. Graded Lie algebras, especially Virasoro algebras, are used to construct nonlinear variable-coefficient evolution equations, both in 1+1 dimensions and in 2+1 dimensions, which possess higher-degree polynomial-in-time dependent symmetries. The theory also provides a kind of new realisation of graded Lie algebras. Some illustrative examples are given.

Graded Symmetry Algebras of Time-Dependent Evolution Equations and Application to the Modified KP equations

By starting from known graded Lie algebras, including Virasoro algebras, new kinds of time-dependent evolution equations are found possessing graded symmetry algebras. The modified KP equations are taken as an illustrative example: new modified KP equations with $m$ arbitrary time-dependent coefficients are obtained possessing symmetries involving $m$ arbitrary functions of time. A particular graded symmetry algebra for the modified KP equations is derived in this connection homomorphic to the Virasoro algebras.

Integrable Theory of the Perturbation Equations

An integrable theory is developed for the perturbation equations engendered from small disturbances of solutions. It includes various integrable properties of the perturbation equations: hereditary recursion operators, master symmetries, linear representations (Lax and zero curvature representations) and Hamiltonian structures etc. and provides us a method to generate hereditary operators, Hamiltonian operators and symplectic operators starting from the known ones. The resulting perturbation equations give rise to a sort of integrable coupling of soliton equations. Two examples (MKdV hierarchy and KP equation) are carefully carried out.
