Hybrid Quasicrystals, Transport and Localization in Products of Minimal Sets

We consider convex combinations of finite-valued almost periodic sequences (mainly substitution sequences) and put them as potentials of one-dimensional tight-binding models. We prove that these sequences are almost periodic. We call such combinations {\em hybrid quasicrystals} and these studies are related to the minimality, under the shift on both coordinates, of the product space of the respective (minimal) hulls. We observe a rich variety of behaviors on the quantum dynamical transport ranging from localization to transport.Comment: 3 figures. To appear in Journal of Stat. Physic

Structure of trajectories of complex matrix eigenvalues in the Hermitian-non-Hermitian transition

The statistical properties of trajectories of eigenvalues of Gaussian complex matrices whose Hermitian condition is progressively broken are investigated. It is shown how the ordering on the real axis of the real eigenvalues is reflected in the structure of the trajectories and also in the final distribution of the eigenvalues in the complex plane.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure

Hadronic form factors and the J/ψJ/\psi secondary production cross section: an update

Improving previous calculations, we compute the $D + \bar{D} \to J/\psi + \pi$ cross section using the most complete effective lagrangians available. The new crucial ingredients are the form factors on the charm meson vertices, which are determined from QCD sum rules calculations. Some of them became available only very recently and the last one, needed for our present purpose, is calculated in this work.Comment: 12 pages, 9 eps figure

Does the D−/D+D^-/D^+ production asymmetry decrease at large xFx_F?

We have applied the meson cloud model (MCM) to calculate the asymmetries in $D$ and $D_s$ meson production in high energy $\Sigma^-$-nucleus and $\pi^-$-nucleus collisions. We find a good agreement with recent data. Our results suggest that the asymmetries may decrease at large $x_F$.Comment: revised version with new figures and added references to appear in Phys. Rev.
