Superspace Formulation for the BRST Quantization of the Chiral Schwinger Model
It has recently been shown that the Field Antifield quantization of anomalous
irreducible gauge theories with closed algebra can be represented in a BRST
superspace where the quantum action at one loop order, including the Wess
Zumino term, and the anomalies show up as components of the same superfield. We
show here how the Chiral Schwinger model can be represented in this
formulation.Comment: 11 pages, Late
Axial Anomaly from the BPHZ regularized BV master equation
A BPHZ renormalized form for the master equation of the field antifiled (or
BV) quantization has recently been proposed by De Jonghe, Paris and Troost.
This framework was shown to be very powerful in calculating gauge anomalies. We
show here that this equation can also be applied in order to calculate a global
anomaly (anomalous divergence of a classically conserved Noether current),
considering the case of QED. This way, the fundamental result about the
anomalous contribution to the Axial Ward identity in standard QED (where there
is no gauge anomaly) is reproduced in this BPHZ regularized BV framework.Comment: 10 pages, Latex, minor changes in the reference
A Monte-Carlo generator for statistical hadronization in high energy e+e- collisions
We present a Monte-Carlo implementation of the Statistical Hadronization
Model in e+e- collisions. The physical scheme is based on the statistical
hadronization of massive clusters produced by the event generator Herwig within
the microcanonical ensemble. We present a preliminary comparison of several
observables with measurements in e+e- collisions at the Z peak. Although a fine
tuning of the model parameters is not carried out, a general good agreement
between its predictions and data is found.Comment: 19 pages, 28 figures, 6 tables. v2: added sections on comparison
between the Statistical Hadronization Model and the Cluster Model and on the
interplay between Herwig cluster splitting algorithm and Statistical
Hadronization Model predictions. Fixed typos and references added. Version

A photometric analysis of Abell 1689: two-dimensional multi-structure decomposition, morphological classification, and the Fundamental Plane
We present a photometric analysis of 65 galaxies in the rich cluster Abell
1689 at , using the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys
archive images in the rest-frame -band. We perform two-dimensional
multi-component photometric decomposition of each galaxy adopting different
models of the surface-brightness distribution. We present an accurate
morphological classification for each of the sample galaxies. For 50 early-type
galaxies, we fit both a de Vaucouleurs and S\'ersic law; S0s are modelled by
also including a disc component described by an exponential law. Bars of SB0s
are described by the profile of a Ferrers ellipsoid. For the 15 spirals, we
model a S\'ersic bulge, exponential disc, and, when required, a Ferrers bar
component. We derive the Fundamental Plane by fitting 40 early-type galaxies in
the sample, using different surface-brightness distributions. We find that the
tightest plane is that derived by S\'ersic bulges. We find that bulges of
spirals lie on the same relation. The Fundamental Plane is better defined by
the bulges alone rather than the entire galaxies. Comparison with local samples
shows both an offset and rotation in the Fundamental Plane of Abell 1689.Comment: 53 pages, 71 figures, MNRAS in pres
