Typical length scales in conducting disorderless networks
We take advantage of a recently established equivalence, between the
intermittent dynamics of a deterministic nonlinear map and the scattering
matrix properties of a disorderless double Cayley tree lattice of connectivity
, to obtain general electronic transport expressions and expand our
knowledge of the scattering properties at the mobility edge. From this we
provide a physical interpretation of the generalized localization length.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
Removing zero Lyapunov exponents in volume-preserving flows
Baraviera and Bonatti proved that it is possible to perturb, in the c^1
topology, a volume-preserving and partial hyperbolic diffeomorphism in order to
obtain a non-zero sum of all the Lyapunov exponents in the central direction.
In this article we obtain the analogous result for volume-preserving flows.Comment: 10 page
Using zeros of the canonical partition function map to detect signatures of a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition
Using the two dimensional model as a test case, we show that
analysis of the Fisher zeros of the canonical partition function can provide
signatures of a transition in the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless ()
universality class. Studying the internal border of zeros in the complex
temperature plane, we found a scenario in complete agreement with theoretical
expectations which allow one to uniquely classify a phase transition as in the
class of universality. We obtain in excellent accordance with
previous results. A careful analysis of the behavior of the zeros for both
regions and in the
thermodynamic limit show that goes to zero in the former
case and is finite in the last one

Superinflation, quintessence, and the avoidance of the initial singularity
We consider the dynamics of a spatially flat universe dominated by a
self-interacting nonminimally coupled scalar field. The structure of the phase
space and complete phase portraits for the conformal coupling case are given.
It is shown that the non-minimal coupling modifies drastically the dynamics of
the universe. New cosmological behaviors are identified, including
superinflation (), avoidance of big bang singularities through
classical birth of the universe from empty Minkowski space, and spontaneous
entry into and exit from inflation. The relevance of this model to the
description of quintessence is discussed.Comment: RevTex, 10 pages, 4 figures, To appear in the proceedings of the 5th

Electromagnetic Fields of Slowly Rotating Magnetized Gravastars
We study the dipolar magnetic field configuration and present solutions of
Maxwell equations in the internal background spacetime of a a slowly rotating
gravastar. The shell of gravastar where magnetic field penetrated is modeled as
sphere consisting of perfect highly magnetized fluid with infinite
conductivity. Dipolar magnetic field of the gravastar is produced by a circular
current loop symmetrically placed at radius at the equatorial plane.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication to Mod. Phys. Lett.
Periodic Gravitational Waves From Small Cosmic String Loops
We consider a population of small, high-velocity cosmic string loops. We
assume the typical length of these loops is determined by the gravitational
radiation scale and use the results of \cite{Polchinski:2007rg} which pointed
out their highly relativistic nature. A study of the gravitational wave
emission from such a population is carried out. The large Lorentz boost
involved causes the lowest harmonics of the loops to fall within the frequency
band of the LIGO detector. Due to this feature the gravitational waves emitted
by such loops can be detected in a periodic search rather than in burst or
stochastic analysis.
It is shown that, for interesting values of the string tension
(10^{-10}\lsim G\mu\lsim 10^{-8}) the detector can observe loops at
reasonably high redshifts and that detection is, in principle, possible. We
compute the number of expected observations produced by such a process. For a
10 hour search we find that this number is of order . This is a
consequence of the low effective number density of the loops traveling along
the line of sight. However, small probabilities of reconnection and longer
observation times can improve the result.Comment: 1+15 pages, 7 figure
