We discuss a possible exact equivalence of the Abelian Higgs model and a scalar theory of a magnetic vortex field in 2 + 1 dimensions. The vortex model has a current-current interaction and can be viewed as a strong coupling limit of a massive vector theory. The fixed point structure of the theory is discussed and mapped into fixed points of the Higgs model.

Self-consistent new renormalization group flow equations for an O(N)-symmetric scalar theory are approximated in next-to-leading order of the derivative expansion. The Wilson-Fisher fixed point in three dimensions is analyzed in detail and various critical exponents are calculated.

One of the authors having made an experimental investigation on the currents produced in a trough of water by a blast of air driven along the surface of the water, it was desired to test the correctness of his deductions by actual observations in a large lake. Loch Ness was chosen on account of its length and uniformity of basin, as it was thought that the length and narrowness of the loch would lead to clearly defined currents being set up in the lake. The sequel showed, as in the case of observations on seiches, that it would have been better to confine attention to a smaller lake, for a twofold reason, (1) because in a large lake the difficulties of observations are much greater than in a small lake during stormy weather, and in very deep lakes the difficulties in the way of obtaining a fixed point from which to use the current meter are formidable, and (2) because it would seem from a few observations made in Loch Garry (Ness Basin) that currents are more defined and more regular in small than in great lakes.

We study the effect of a finite temperature on the correlation function of quantum magnetic vortex lines in the framework of the (3 + 1)-dimensional Abelian Higgs model. The vortex energy is inferred from the large distance behavior of these correlation functions. For large straight vortices of length L, we obtain that the energy is proportional to TL2 differently from the zero temperature result which is proportional to L. The case of closed strings is also analyzed. For T = 0, we evaluate the correlation function and energy of a large ring. Finite closed vortices do not exist as genuine excitations for any temperature.

We consider the gravity dual of strongly coupled system at a Lifshitz-fixed point and finite temperature, which was constructed in a recent work arXiv:0909.0263. We construct an Abelian–Higgs model in that background and calculate condensation and conductivity using holographic techniques. We find that condensation happens and DC conductivity blows up when temperature turns below a critical value. We also study the zero temperature limit of strongly coupled system at the Lifshitz-fixed point.

We present the phenomenology of the weak interactions in a historical perspective, from Fermi’s four-fermion theory to the V−A current×current interaction. The experiments of C.S. Wu, which established parity violation, and M. Goldhaber, which measured the neutrino helicity, are described. We study in turn the leptonic, semi-leptonic and non-leptonic weak interactions. We introduce the concept of the conserved vector current and the partially conserved axial current and show that the latter is the result of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry with the pion the corresponding pseudo-Goldstone boson. We study Gell–Mann’s current algebra and derive the Adler–Weisberger relation. Strangeness changing weak interactions and the Cabibbo theory are described. We present a phenomenological analysis of CP-violation in the neutral kaon system and we end with the intermediate vector boson hypothesis.

This chapter discusses the representation of the weak interaction as a current-current interaction that violates parity and charge conjugation invariance. It describes the experiments that demonstrate that this violation is maximal. The resulting theory is called the V-A theory of the weak interaction. The chapter works out the predictions of the V-A theory for muon and pion decay and high-energy neutrino scattering and shows the comparison to experiment.

The influence from a current on the relative motions and wave drift forces for moored floater can be quite significant. In this paper, a benchmark study is carried out for three programs, MULDIF, WADAM and WASIM, with the focus on their capability on handling the wave-current interaction problem. A semi-submersible model Troll B and a tanker model KVLCC2 are used for this study. The motions, free surface elevation at specified off-body points and mean drift forces are calculated by the programs in different current or forward speed conditions. Analysis results are compared and discussed, with the aim to evaluate the numerical performance of each programs and their validity range in terms of current speed.
