Extended Modified Observable Technique for a Multi-Parametric Trilinear Gauge Coupling Estimation at LEP II
This paper describes the extension of the Modified Observables technique in
estimating simultaneously more than one Trilinear Gauge Couplings. The optimal
properties, unbiasedness and consistent error estimation of this method are
demonstrated by Monte Carlo experimentation using four-fermion
final state topologies. Emphasis is given in the determination of the expected
sensitivities in estimating the and
pair of couplings with data from the 183
GeV LEPII run.Comment: (17 pages, 8 figures
Thermodynamics of genuine non-equilibrium states under feedback control
For genuine non-equilibrium states that even at fixed external control
parameter exhibit dissipation, we extend the Hatano-Sasa equality to processes
with feedback control. The resulting bound on the maximal extractable work is
substantially sharper than what would follow from applying the Sagawa-Ueda
equality to transitions involving such states. For repeated measurements at
short enough intervals, the power thus extracted can even exceed the average
cost of driving as demonstrated explicitly with a simple, analytically solvable
example.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Extracting work from a single heat bath through feedback
Work can be extracted from a single heat bath if additional information is
available. For the paradigmatic case of a Brownian particle in a harmonic
potential, whose position has been measured with finite precision, we determine
the optimal protocol for manipulating the center and stiffness of the potential
in order to maximize this work in a finite-time process. The bound on this work
imposed by a generalized second law inequality involving information can be
reached only if both position and stiffness of the potential are controlled and
the process is quasistatic. Estimates on the power delivered by such an
"information machine" operating cyclically follow from our analytical results.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Multidimensional Binning Techniques for a Two Parameter Trilinear Gauge Coupling Estimation at LEP II
This paper describes two generalization schemes of the Optimal Variables
technique in estimating simultaneously two Trilinear Gauge Couplings. The first
is an iterative procedure to perform a 2-dimensional fit using the linear terms
of the expansion of the probability density function with respect to the
corresponding couplings, whilst the second is a clustering method of
probability distribution representation in five dimensions. The pair production
of W's at 183 GeV center of mass energy, where one W decays leptonically and
the other hadronically, was used to demonstrate the optimal properties of the
proposed estimation techniques.Comment: (25 pages, 11 figures
The Physics of UHECRs: Spectra, Composition and the Transition Galactic-Extragalactic
We review the experimental evidences about flux and mass composition of ultra
high energy cosmic rays in connection with theoretical scenarios concerning
astrophysical sources. In this context, we also address the discussion about
the expected transition between cosmic rays produced inside the Galaxy and
those coming from the intergalactic space.Comment: 6 pages, 10 figures, invited talk given at the "2016 International
Conference on Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR2016)", Kyoto (Japan),

Even Orientations and Pfaffian graphs
We give a characterization of Pfaffian graphs in terms of even orientations,
extending the characterization of near bipartite non--pfaffian graphs by
Fischer and Little \cite{FL}. Our graph theoretical characterization is
equivalent to the one proved by Little in \cite{L73} (cf. \cite{LR}) using
linear algebra arguments
A note on 2--bisections of claw--free cubic graphs
A \emph{--bisection} of a bridgeless cubic graph is a --colouring
of its vertex set such that the colour classes have the same cardinality and
all connected components in the two subgraphs induced by the colour classes
have order at most . Ban and Linial conjectured that {\em every bridgeless
cubic graph admits a --bisection except for the Petersen graph}.
In this note, we prove Ban--Linial's conjecture for claw--free cubic graphs
Hermitian clifford analysis
This paper gives an overview of some basic results on Hermitian Clifford analysis, a refinement of classical Clifford analysis dealing with functions in the kernel of two mutually adjoint Dirac operators invariant under the action of the unitary group. The set of these functions, called Hermitian monogenic, contains the set of holomorphic functions in several complex variables. The paper discusses, among other results, the Fischer decomposition, the Cauchy–Kovalevskaya extension problem, the axiomatic radial algebra, and also some algebraic analysis of the system associated with Hermitian monogenic functions. While the Cauchy–Kovalevskaya extension problem can be carried out for the Hermitian monogenic system, this system imposes severe constraints on the initial Cauchy data. There exists a subsystem of the Hermitian monogenic system in which these constraints can be avoided. This subsystem, called submonogenic system, will also be discussed in the paper
The effect of different regulators in the non-local field-antifield quantization
Recently it was shown how to regularize the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV)
field-antifield formalism of quantization of gauge theories with the non-local
regularization (NLR) method. The objective of this work is to make an analysis
of the behaviour of this NLR formalism, connected to the BV framework, using
two different regulators: a simple second order differential regulator and a
Fujikawa-like regulator. This analysis has been made in the light of the well
known fact that different regulators can generate different expressions for
anomalies that are related by a local couterterm, or that are equivalent after
a reparametrization. This has been done by computing precisely the anomaly of
the chiral Schwinger model.Comment: 9 pages, Revtex. To appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys.
