Issues on 3D Noncommutative Electromagnetic Duality
We extend the ordinary 3D electromagnetic duality to the noncommutative (NC)
space-time through a Seiberg-Witten map to second order in the noncommutativity
parameter (theta), defining a new scalar field model. There are similarities
with the 4D NC duality, these are exploited to clarify properties of both
cases. Up to second order in theta, we find that duality interchanges the
2-form theta with its 1-form Hodge dual *theta times the gauge coupling
constant, i.e., theta --> *theta g^2 (similar to the 4D NC electromagnetic
duality). We directly prove that this property is false in the third order
expansion in both 3D and 4D space-times, unless the slowly varying fields limit
is imposed. Outside this limit, starting from the third order expansion, theta
cannot be rescaled to attain an S-duality. In addition to possible applications
on effective models, the 3D space-time is useful for studying general
properties of NC theories. In particular, in this dimension, we deduce an
expression that significantly simplifies the Seiberg-Witten mapped Lagrangian
to all orders in theta.Comment: 15 pages, revtex4. v.2: We added a proof that the terms in (4.9) are

Using high-frequency data and time series models to improve yield management
We show the potential contribution of time series models (TSM) to the analysis of high frequency (less than monthly) time series of economic activity. The evolution of the series is induced by stable patterns of behavior of economic agents; but these patterns are so complex that simple smoothing techniques or subjective forecasting can not consider all underlying factors and TSM are needed if a full efficient analysis is to be carried out. The main ideas are illustrated with an apllication to Spanish daily electricity consumption
