Physics (IHEP). large scale structure formation (LSS), comes from the Differential Micro­ wave Radiometer (DMR) which provided the first evidence for CMB anisotropy. Some anisotropy on the angular slice probed by COBE is expected in any reasonable model of LSS. COBE's measurement of the quadrupole anisotropy at six parts per million provides an important clue for developing a 'standard model' of LSS. The COBE numbers are in remarkably good agreement with the predictions of a particularly simple class of LSS models proposed almost a decade ago, with far reach­ ing implications for dark matter searches. Hot big bang cosmology predicts the existence of the CMB, discovered by Penzias and Wilson in 1965. 16 CERN Courier, July/August 1993 Models based on the simultaneous existence of cold and hot dark matter find it easier to explain large-scale structures in the Universe, providing a better fit to the COBE microwave background fluctuations as well as data from galaxy surveys. Not shown is data on smaller scales, where such models predict less formation, also in good agreement with observations. so much small scale power that it was found necessary to associate galaxies only with high (and therefore rarer) peaks in density ('galactic biasing'). The mass fluctuations in a biased CDM model are several times smaller than fluctuations in galactic number density evaluated on an appropriate scale. However with this level of bias, the CDM scenario does not possess enough large-scale power to explain cluster correlations, bulk flows of galaxies, and galactic concentrations observed in recent redshift surveys. Even more signifi­ cantly, however, the biased CDM model predicts a quadrupole signal several times smaller than that estimated by COBE for the HZ spectrum.

    Nuclear Physics B 723 (2005) 3–32 Wrapping interactions and the genus expansion of the 2-point function of composite operators Christoph Sieg a, Alessandro Torrielli b a Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, D-80805 München, Germany b Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Institut für Physik, Newtonstraße 15, D-12489 Berlin, Germany Received 26 May 2005; accepted 7 June 2005 Available online 1 July 2005 Abstract We perform a systematic analysis of wrapping interactions for a general class of theories with color degrees of freedom, including N = 4 SYM. Wrapping interactions arise in the genus expansion of the 2-point function of composite operators as finite size effects that start to appear at a certain order in the coupling constant at which the range of the interaction is equal to the length of the operators. We analyze in detail the relevant genus expansions, and introduce a strategy to single out the wrapping contributions, based on adding spectator fields. We use a toy model to demonstrate our procedure, performing all computations explicitly. Although completely general, our treatment should be particularly useful for applications to the recent problem of wrapping contributions in some checks of the AdS/CFT correspondence. 2005 Elsevier B.V.

From the year 2007 we started our new project of “Yukawa International program of Quark-Hadron Sciences (YIPQS)” funded by Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. In this project we select a few research topics each year for long- term workshops and invite leading experts from abroad to stimulate discussions and foster collaborations among workshop participants. In the year 2011 we held two long-term work- shops on ”Dynamics and correlations in exotic nuclei” and on ”Novel Quantum States in Condensed Matter: Correlation, Frustration and Topology”, and extensive discussions have been exchanged. Our report contains some of the results obtained during these workshops.
