A paper on holonomies (vol.3) submitted to arXiv

The paper is on gravity interpreted as a square of gauge theory. I have been thinking about this topic over five years and now finally get a satisfying answer. The paper is available at arXiv:1008.2800.

Atsuko nominated for Young Investigator Awards of HRS

The award competition is organized by the Heart Rhythm Society and is called the Young Investigator Awards (YIA), now in its 30th year. For more information, see this and this (in Japanese).
Congratulations!

A paper on abelian holonomy formalism submitted to arXiv

In this paper we consider an application of abelian holonomy formalism to elementary number theory and propose an interesting physical interpretation of the Riemann hypothesis. The paper is now available at arXiv:1005.4299.

A paper on M(atrix) theory compactification appears in Phys. Rev. D, now available online

The article is available at
http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevD.81.046006.
I would like to thank the referee for critical comments; without the comments I would never be able to realize my mistakes in the original version of this paper. So I am grateful to the referee very much.
Accordingly I have revised my doctoral dissertation since it contains most of the materials in the paper. A revised dissertation in an abridged style is now available at
arXiv:1002.4937 [hep-th].

Atsuko soon becomes a PhD in medicine!

The other day Atsuko Abe (my wife) passed an oral exam for her PhD in medicine.
Research subject is something like

Circadian Variation of Late Potentials in Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation
Associated with J Waves: Insights into Pathophysiology and Risk Stratification

Congratulations! We are proud of you.
I hope you keep helpful to many patients.

Visit to Yasushi Inoue's literary museum

The museum is located in what is called CLEMATIS-no-OKA near Numazu City, about 120km east of Tokyo. Many original manuscripts of the author's are exhibited. It was a valuable experience.

Japanese translation of Nair's QFT book now published from Springer Japan

I would like to thank Prof. Iso at KEK for collaboration. I would also like to thank staffs of the publisher for professional support.

Corrections made in a planet-position program

Computed planetary positions are now improved in comparison with Rika Nenpyo, Chronological Scientific Tables 2009.

Holonomy papers appear in Nucl.Phys.B, now available online

The articles are available at
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2009.09.026 (Yang-Mills theory),

I would like to thank editors and supporting staff of the journal for making the publications as quickly and accurate as possible.

Add "Reviews" to the item of Miscellaneous

Taking this opportunity, I become a member of American Mathematical Society.

Corrections made in a program of moon-position calculations

In a program of planetary orbit calculations, moon positions are set to those at 0:00 GMT. Now the program is revised, reflecting input time information. (Yes, I know the moon is not a planet; I include moon positions as supplemental data for those who might be interested in astrology or whatever.)
