Ultra peripheral heavy ion collisions and the energy dependence of the nuclear radius
To estimate realistic cross sections in ultra peripheral heavy ion collisions
we must remove effects of strong absorption. One method to eliminate these
effects make use of a Glauber model calculation, where the nucleon-nucleon
energy dependent cross sections at small impact parameter are suppressed. In
another method we impose a geometrical cut on the minimal impact parameter of
the nuclear collision (, where is the radius of ion
""). In this last case the effect of a possible nuclear radius dependence
with the energy has not been considered in detail up to now. Here we introduce
this effect showing that for final states with small invariant mass the effect
is negligible. However when the final state has a relatively large invariant
mass, e.g. an intermediate mass Higgs boson, the cross section can decrease up
to 50%.Comment: To appear in Phys. Lett.
MGD-decoupled black holes, anisotropic fluids and holographic entanglement entropy
The holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) is investigated for a black hole
under the minimal geometric deformation (MGD) procedure, created by
gravitational decoupling via an anisotropic fluid, in an AdS/CFT on the brane
setup. The respective HEE corrections are computed and confronted to the
corresponding corrections for both the standard MGD black holes and the
Schwarzschild ones.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figure
Diffeomorphism Invariance and Local Lorentz Invariance
We show that diffeomorphism invariance of the Maxwell and the Dirac-Hestenes
equations implies the equivalence among different universe models such that if
one has a linear connection with non-null torsion and/or curvature the others
have also. On the other hand local Lorentz invariance implies the surprising
equivalence among different universe models that have in general different
G-connections with different curvature and torsion tensors.Comment: 19 pages, Revtex, Plenary Talk presented at VII International

Gauge Fixing in the Maxwell Like Gravitational Theory in Minkowski Spacetime and in the Equivalent Lorentzian Spacetime
In a previous paper we investigate a Lagrangian field theory for the
gravitational field (which is there represented by a section g^a of the
orthonormal coframe bundle over Minkowski spacetime. Such theory, under
appropriate conditions, has been proved to be equivalent to a Lorentzian
spacetime structure, where the metric tensor satisfies Einstein field
equations. Here, we first recall that according to quantum field theory ideas
gravitation is described by a Lagrangian theory of a possible massive graviton
field (generated by matter fields and coupling also to itself) living in
Minkowski spacetime. The graviton field is moreover supposed to be represented
by a symmetric tensor field h carrying the representations of spin two and zero
of the Lorentz group. Such a field, then (as it is well known), must
necessarily satisfy the gauge condition given by Eq.(3) below. Next, we
introduce an ansatz relating h to the 1-form fields g^a. Then, using the
Clifford bundle formalism we derive, from our Lagrangian theory, the exact wave
equation for the graviton and investigate the role of the gauge condition given
by Eq.(3) in obtaining a reliable conservation law for the energy-momentum
tensor of the gravitational plus the matter fields in Minkowski spacetime.
Finally we ask the question: does Eq.(3) fix any gauge condition for the field
g of the effective Lorentzian spacetime structure that represents the field h
in our theory? We show that no gauge condition is fixed a priory, as is the
case in General Relativity. Moreover we investigate under which conditions we
may fix Logunov gauge condition.Comment: 15 pages. This version corrects some misprints of the published

Information-Entropic for Travelling Solitons in Lorentz and CPT Breaking Systems
In this work we group three research topics apparently disconnected, namely
solitons, Lorentz symmetry breaking and entropy. Following a recent work [Phys.
Lett. B 713 (2012) 304], we show that it is possible to construct in the
context of travelling wave solutions a configurational entropy measure in
functional space, from the field configurations. Thus, we investigate the
existence and properties of travelling solitons in Lorentz and CPT breaking
scenarios for a class of models with two interacting scalar fields. Here, we
obtain a complete set of exact solutions for the model studied which display
both double and single-kink configurations. In fact, such models are very
important in applications that include Bloch branes, Skyrmions, Yang-Mills,
Q-balls, oscillons and various superstring-motivated theories. We find that the
so-called Configurational Entropy (CE) for travelling solitons, which we name
as travelling Configurational Entropy (TCE), shows that the best value of
parameter responsible to break the Lorentz symmetry is one where the energy
density is distributed equally around the origin. In this way, the
information-theoretical measure of travelling solitons in Lorentz symmetry
violation scenarios opens a new window to probe situations where the parameters
responsible for breaking the symmetries are random. In this case, the TCE
selects the best value
