Critical view of the claimed pentaquark
We use a theoretical model of the reaction
adapted to the experiment done at LEPS where a peak was observed and associated
to the pentaquark. The study shows that the method used in
the experiment to associate momenta to the undetected proton and neutron,
together with the chosen cuts, necessarily creates an artificial broad peak in
the assumed invariant mass in the region of the claimed
. It is shown that the LEPS fit to the data, used to make the
claim of the , grossly distorts the background. An
alternative fit, assuming a background plus a fluctuation, returns a background
practically equal to the theoretical one and a fluctuation identical to the one
seen in the experimental spectrum of 2 significance.Comment: Conference Proceedin
Three body resonances in two meson-one baryon systems
We report four 's and three 's, in the 1500 - 1800 MeV
region, as two meson - one baryon S-wave resonances. We solve Faddeev
equations in the coupled channel approach. The invariant mass of one of the
meson-baryon pairs and that of the three particles have been varied and peaks
in the squared three body -matrix have been found very close to the existing
= -1, low lying baryon resonances. The input two-body
-matrices for meson-meson and meson-baryon interaction have been calculated
by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation with the potentials obtained in the
chiral unitary approach.Comment: corrected version, new channels evaluated, new references adde
An analysis of the Lattice QCD spectra for and
In this talk I present the results obtained using effective field theories in
a finite volume from a reanalysis of lattice data on the systems,
where bound states of and are found and associated with the states
and , respectively. We confirm the presence of
such states on the lattice data and determine the weight of the channel in
the wave function of and that of in the wave function
of . Our results indicate a large meson-meson component in both
cases.Comment: Conference Proceedings, Hadron 2017, Salamanca, Spai
Genus and spot density in the COBE DMR first year anisotropy maps
A statistical analysis of texture on the {\it COBE}-DMR first year sky maps
based on the genus and spot number is presented. A generalized
statistic is defined in terms of ``observable'' quantities: the genus and spot
density that would be measured by different cosmic observers. This strategy
together with the use of Monte Carlo simulations of the temperature
fluctuations, including all the relevant experimental parameters, represent the
main difference with previous analyses. Based on the genus analysis we find a
strong anticorrelation between the quadrupole amplitude and the
spectral index of the density fluctuation power spectrum at recombination
of the form K for fixed
, consistent with previous works. The result obtained based on the spot
density is consistent with this relation. In addition to the
previous results we have determined, using Monte Carlo simulations, the minimum
uncertainty due to cosmic variance for the determination of the spectral index
with the genus analysis. This uncertainty is .Comment: 5 pages, uuencode file containing text and 1 figure. MNRAS in press
Non-Hermitian robust edge states in one-dimension: Anomalous localization and eigenspace condensation at exceptional points
Capital to topological insulators, the bulk-boundary correspondence ties a
topological invariant computed from the bulk (extended) states with those at
the boundary, which are hence robust to disorder. Here we put forward an
ordering unique to non-Hermitian lattices, whereby a pristine system becomes
devoid of extended states, a property which turns out to be robust to disorder.
This is enabled by a peculiar type of non-Hermitian degeneracy where a
macroscopic fraction of the states coalesce at a single point with geometrical
multiplicity of , that we call a phenomenal point.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
A strategy for the design of skyrmion racetrack memories
Magnetic storage based on racetrack memory is very promising for the design
of ultra-dense, low-cost and low-power storage technology. Information can be
coded in a magnetic region between two domain walls or, as predicted recently,
in topological magnetic objects known as skyrmions. Here, we show the
technological advantages and limitations of using Bloch and Neel skyrmions
manipulated by spin current generated within the ferromagnet or via the
spin-Hall effect arising from a non-magnetic heavy metal underlayer. We found
that the Neel skyrmion moved by the spin-Hall effect is a very promising
strategy for technological implementation of the next generation of skyrmion
racetrack memories (zero field, high thermal stability, and ultra-dense
storage). We employed micromagnetics reinforced with an analytical formulation
of skyrmion dynamics that we developed from the Thiele equation. We identified
that the excitation, at high currents, of a breathing mode of the skyrmion
limits the maximal velocity of the memory
Three body systems with strangeness and exotic systems
We report on four 's and three 's, in the 1500 - 1800 MeV
region, as two meson - one baryon S-wave resonances found by solving
the Faddeev equations in the coupled channel approach, which can be associated
to the existing = -1, low lying baryon resonances. On the
other hand we also report on a new, hidden strangeness state, mostly made
of , with mass around 1920 MeV, which we think could be
responsible for the peak seen in the around this
energy. Finally we address a very novel topic in which we show how few body
systems of several mesons can be produced, with their spins aligned up
to J=6, and how these states found theoretically can be associated to several
known mesons with spins J=2,3,4,5,6.Comment: Talk at the 21st European Conference on Few Body Problems in Physics,

Study of the system using QCD sum rules
In this talk I present a study of the system made by using the
method of QCD sum rules. Considering isospin and spin projectors, we
investigate the different configurations and obtain three mesons with
isospin , spin , , and with masses MeV,
MeV, and MeV, respectively. The last state can be
related to (spin 2) listed by the Particle Data Group, while one
of the first two might be associated with , whose spin-parity is
unknown. In the case of we also find evidences of three states with
spin 0, 1 and 2, respectively, with masses MeV, MeV,
and MeV.Comment: Contribution to the proceedings of the XXXVI Reuni\~ao de Trabalho

A new perspective on the Faddeev equations and the system from chiral dynamics and unitarity in coupled channels
We review recent work concerning the interaction and Faddeev
equations with chiral dynamics which allow us to look at the from a
different perspective and pay attention to problems that have been posed in
previous studies on the subject. We show results which provide extra
experimental evidence on the existence of two states. We then
show the findings of a recent approach to Faddeev equations using chiral
unitary dynamics, where an explicit cancellation of the two body off shell
amplitude with three body forces stemming from the same chiral Lagrangians
takes place. This removal of the unphysical off shell part of the amplitudes is
most welcome and renders the approach unambiguous, showing that only on shell
two body amplitudes need to be used. With this information in mind we use an
approximation to the Faddeev equations within the fixed center approximation to
study the system, providing answers within this approximation to
questions that have been brought before and evaluating binding energies and
widths of this three body system. As a novelty with respect to recent work on
the topic we find a bound state of the system with spin S=1, like a bound state
of -deuteron, less bound that the one of S=0, where all recent efforts
have been devoted. The width is relatively large in this case, suggesting
problems in a possible experimental observation.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures, one misprint corrected, Nuclear Physics A in

Delta rho pi interaction leading to N* and Delta* resonances
We have performed a calculation for the three body system
by using the fixed center approximation to Faddeev equations, taking the
interaction between and , and, and and
from the chiral unitary approach. We find several peaks in the modulus
squared of the three-body scattering amplitude, indicating the existence of
resonances, which can be associated to known and and baryon states.Comment: Presented at the 21st European Conference on Few-Body Problems in
