Critical exponents and unusual properties of the broken phase in the 3d-RP(2) antiferromagnetic model
We present the results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the antiferromagnetic
RP(2) model in three dimensions. With finite-size scaling techniques we
accurately measure the critical exponents and compare them with those of O(N)
models. We are able to parameterize the corrections-to-scaling. The symmetry
properties of the broken phase are also studied.Comment: 4 pages, TeX type, Poster session contribution to "Lattice96"

Antiferromagnetism in four dimensions: search for non-triviality
We present antiferromagnetism as a mechanism capable of modifying
substantially the phase diagram and the critical behaviour of statistical
mechanical models. This is particularly relevant in four dimensions, due to the
connection between second order transition points and the continuum limit as a
quantum field theory. We study three models with an antiferromagnetic
interaction: the Ising and the O(4) Models with a second neighbour negative
coupling, and the \RP{2} Model. Different conclusions are obtained depending
on the model.Comment: 4 pages LateX. Contribution to Lat9
Instanton-like Contributions to the Dynamics of Yang-Mills Fields on the Twisted Torus
We study lattice gauge theory in small volumes and with twist
. We investigate the presence of the periodic instantons of

splitting of energy flux sectors \mbox{.}Comment: 17 text pages + 1 Table + 3 postscript figures, report# FTUAM/92-3
