Singular behaviour of the electromagnetic field
The singularities of the electromagnetic field are derived to include all the
point-like multipoles representing an electric charge and current distribution.
Firstly derived in the static case, the result is generalized to the dynamic
one. We establish a simple procedure for passing from the first, to the second
case.Comment: Latex, 21.pages, no figure
Searches for phenomena beyond the Standard Model at the LHC with the ATLAS and CMS detectors
The LHC has delivered several fb-1 of data in spring and summer 2011, opening
new windows of opportunity for discovering phenomena beyond the Standard Model.
A summary of the searches conducted by the ATLAS and CMS experiments based on
about 1 fb-1 of data is presented.Comment: Presented at Lepton-Photon 2011, Mumbai, India; 10 pages, 11 figure
Stable gravastars with generalised exteriors
New spherically symmetric gravastar solutions, stable to radial
perturbations, are found by utilising the construction of Visser and Wiltshire.
The solutions possess an anti--de Sitter or de Sitter interior and a
Schwarzschild--(anti)--de Sitter or Reissner--Nordstr\"{o}m exterior. We find a
wide range of parameters which allow stable gravastar solutions, and present
the different qualitative behaviours of the equation of state for these
parameters.Comment: 14 pages, 11 figures, to appear in Classical and Quantum Gravit
Random matrix theory and
We suggest that the spectral properties near zero virtuality of three
dimensional QCD, follow from a Hermitean random matrix model. The exact
spectral density is derived for this family of random matrix models both for
even and odd number of fermions. New sum rules for the inverse powers of the
eigenvalues of the Dirac operator are obtained. The issue of anomalies in
random matrix theories is discussed.Comment: 10p., SUNY-NTG-94/1
Correction Factors for Reactions involving Quark-Antiquark Annihilation or Production
In reactions with production or annihilation, initial-
and final-state interactions give rise to large corrections to the lowest-order
cross sections. We evaluate the correction factor first for low relative
kinetic energies by studying the distortion of the relative wave function. We
then follow the procedure of Schwinger to interpolate this result with the
well-known perturbative QCD vertex correction factors at high energies, to
obtain an explicit semi-empirical correction factor applicable to the whole
range of energies. The correction factor predicts an enhancement for
in color-singlet states and a suppression for color-octet states, the effect
increasing as the relative velocity decreases. Consequences on dilepton
production in the quark-gluon plasma, the Drell-Yan process, and heavy quark
production processes are discussed.Comment: 25 pages (REVTeX), includes 2 uuencoded compressed postscript figure
Phase-plane analysis of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmologies in Brans-Dicke gravity
We present an autonomous phase-plane describing the evolution of
Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models containing a perfect fluid (with barotropic
index gamma) in Brans-Dicke gravity (with Brans-Dicke parameter omega). We find
self-similar fixed points corresponding to Nariai's power-law solutions for
spatially flat models and curvature-scaling solutions for curved models. At
infinite values of the phase-plane variables we recover O'Hanlon and Tupper's
vacuum solutions for spatially flat models and the Milne universe for negative
spatial curvature. We find conditions for the existence and stability of these
critical points and describe the qualitative evolution in all regions of the
(omega,gamma) parameter space for 0-3/2. We show that the
condition for inflation in Brans-Dicke gravity is always stronger than the
general relativistic condition, gamma<2/3.Comment: 24 pages, including 9 figures, LaTe

Gauge theories as a geometrical issue of a Kaluza-Klein framework
We present a geometrical unification theory in a Kaluza-Klein approach that
achieve the geometrization of a generic gauge theory bosonic component.
We show how it is possible to derive the gauge charge conservation from the
invariance of the model under extra-dimensional translations and to geometrize
gauge connections for spinors, thus we can introduce the matter just by free
spinorial fields. Then, we present the applications to i)a pentadimensional
manifold , so reproducing the original Kaluza-Klein theory,
unless some extensions related to the rule of the scalar field contained in the
metric and the introduction of matter by spinors with a phase dependence from
the fifth coordinate, ii)a seven-dimensional manifold , in which we geometrize the electro-weak model by
introducing two spinors for any leptonic family and quark generation and a
scalar field with two components with opposite hypercharge, responsible of
spontaneous symmetry breaking.Comment: 37 pages, no figure
Nuclei in a chiral SU(3) model
Nuclei can be described satisfactorily in a nonlinear chiral SU(3)-framework,
even with standard potentials of the linear -model. The condensate
value of the strange scalar meson is found to be important for the properties
of nuclei even without adding hyperons. By neglecting terms which couple the
strange to the nonstrange condensate one can reduce the model to a Walecka
model structure embedded in SU(3). We discuss inherent problems with chiral
SU(3) models regarding hyperon optical potentials.Comment: 25 pages, RevTe
Stars in five dimensional Kaluza Klein gravity
In the five dimensional Kaluza Klein (KK) theory there is a well known class
of static and electromagnetic--free KK--equations characterized by a naked
singularity behavior, namely the Generalized Schwarzschild solution (GSS). We
present here a set of interior solutions of five dimensional KK--equations.
These equations have been numerically integrated to match the GSS in the
vacuum. The solutions are candidates to describe the possible interior perfect
fluid source of the exterior GSS metric and thus they can be models for stars
for static, neutral astrophysical objects in the ordinary (four dimensional)
spacetime.Comment: 15 pages, 8 figures. To be published in EPJ
