Torsion Phenomenology at the LHC

We explore the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to test the dynamical torsion parameters. The form of the torsion action can be established from the requirements of consistency of effective quantum field theory. The most phenomenologically relevant part of the torsion tensor is dual to a massive axial vector field. This axial vector has geometric nature, that means it does not belong to any representation of the gauge group of the SM extension or GUT theory. At the same time, torsion should interact with all fermions, that opens the way for the phenomenological applications. We demonstrate that LHC collider can establish unique constraints on the interactions between fermions and torsion field considerably exceeding present experimental lower bounds on the torsion couplings and its mass. It is also shown how possible non-universal nature of torsion couplings due to the renormalization group running between the Planck and TeV energy scales can be tested via the combined analysis of Drell-Yan and $t\bar{t}$ production processes

Riemannian Geometry of Noncommutative Surfaces

A Riemannian geometry of noncommutative n-dimensional surfaces is developed as a first step towards the construction of a consistent noncommutative gravitational theory. Historically, as well, Riemannian geometry was recognized to be the underlying structure of Einstein's theory of general relativity and led to further developments of the latter. The notions of metric and connections on such noncommutative surfaces are introduced and it is shown that the connections are metric-compatible, giving rise to the corresponding Riemann curvature. The latter also satisfies the noncommutative analogue of the first and second Bianchi identities. As examples, noncommutative analogues of the sphere, torus and hyperboloid are studied in detail. The problem of covariance under appropriately defined general coordinate transformations is also discussed and commented on as compared with other treatments.Comment: 28 pages, some clarifications, examples and references added, version to appear in J.

Efeito da calagem e da adubação com fósforo e potássio sobre a produção de matéria seca, nodulação e teores de proteína bruta, fósforo e cálcio de leguminosas tropicais.

Foram estudados, em casa de vegetação, em Teresina, PI, a produção de nódulos, o peso da parte aérea e da raiz e os teores de PB, P e Ca das leguminosas forrageiras arbóreas angico-de-bezerro (P. moniliformis Benth.) e caneleiro (C. macrophyllum Tul.). Utilizaram-se vasos com duas plantas, e os tratamentos: testemunha, K, P, P + K, Cal, Cal + k, Cal + P e Cal + P + K. O solo foi coletado sob a copa de árvores de cada espécie..

Efeito de doses crescentes de fosforo sobre as pastagens nativas da regiao de agreste piauiense.

Foi conduzido um ensaio no municipio de Demerval Lobao em uma area tipica do "agreste" piauiense, para estudar o efeito da adubacao fosfatada sobre pastagens nativas. O solo predominante da area experimental foi classificado como areia quatzosa, cujos resultados da analise quimica de fertilidade foram: fosforo 5 ppm, potassio 28 ppm, calcio mais magnesio 0,9 mE%, aluminio 0,6 mE% e pH 4,8. A vegetacao foi raleada, queimada e marcadas as parcelas de 10m x 10m. Os tratamentos forma pastagem nativa nao adubada e adubada com 10, 20, 40 e 160 kg de P2O5/ha, sob a forma de superfosfato simples. A pastagem foi avaliada duas vezes por ano, durante 3 anos, de 1977 a 1979. Retiravam-se de cada parcela 4 subamostras de 0,5m , que eram misturadas, separando-se em seguuida em gramineas, leguminosas e outras familias. Estas eram secadas a 70 C para determinacao de materia seca e analise quimica para fosforo, potassio e calcio. A producao de materia seca aumentou quando foram aumentadas as doses de fosforo aplicadas no solo, sendo que maior rendimento foi obtido como a dose de 80 kg de P2O5/ha. As menores percentagens de gramineas foram observadas nas doses mais altas de fosforo. Os teores de fosforo na parte aerea das gramineas e das leguminosas foram crescendo com as doses de fosforo, com o maximo de 0,17% nas gramineas na dose de 160kg de P2O5/ha e de 28% nas leguminosas na dose de 80kg de p2O5/ha. As leguminosas tiveram maiores teores de fosforo, calcio e potassio que as gramineas.bitstream/item/37229/1/CIR040001.pd

The solar, exoplanet and cosmological lithium problems

We review three Li problems. First, the Li problem in the Sun, for which some previous studies have argued that it may be Li-poor compared to other Suns. Second, we discuss the Li problem in planet hosting stars, which are claimed to be Li-poor when compared to field stars. Third, we discuss the cosmological Li problem, i.e. the discrepancy between the Li abundance in metal-poor stars (Spite plateau stars) and the predictions from standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. In all three cases we find that the "problems" are naturally explained by non-standard mixing in stars.Comment: Astrophysics and Space Science, in press. New version has one reference correcte
