    Full text link
    Within the instanton liquid model, we study the dependence of the gauge invariant two--point quark correlator on the path used to perform the color parallel transport between two points in the Euclidean space.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure

    Integration of nonsmooth 2-forms: From Young to Itô and Stratonovich

    Get PDF
    We show that geometric integrals of the type ∫Ωfdg1∧dg2 can be defined over a two-dimensional domain Ω when the functions f, g1, g2:R2→R are just Hölder continuous with sufficiently large Hölder exponents and the boundary of Ω has sufficiently small dimension, by summing over a refining sequence of partitions the discrete Stratonovich or Itô type terms. This leads to a two-dimensional extension of the classical Young integral that coincides with the integral introduced recently by R. Züst. We further show that the Stratonovich-type summation allows to weaken the requirements on Hölder exponents of the map g=(g1,g2) when f(x)=F(x,g(x)) with F sufficiently regular. The technique relies upon an extension of the sewing lemma from Rough paths theory to alternating functions of two-dimensional oriented simplices, also proven in the paper

    Dynamical analysis of the cluster pair: A3407 + A3408

    We carried out a dynamical study of the galaxy cluster pair A3407 \& A3408 based on a spectroscopic survey obtained with the 4 meter Blanco telescope at the CTIO, plus 6dF data, and ROSAT All-Sky-Survey. The sample consists of 122 member galaxies brighter than mR=20m_R=20. Our main goal is to probe the galaxy dynamics in this field and verify if the sample constitutes a single galaxy system or corresponds to an ongoing merging process. Statistical tests were applied to clusters members showing that both the composite system A3407 + A3408 as well as each individual cluster have Gaussian velocity distribution. A velocity gradient of ∌847±114\sim 847\pm 114 km  s−1\rm km\;s^{-1} was identified around the principal axis of the projected distribution of galaxies, indicating that the global field may be rotating. Applying the KMM algorithm to the distribution of galaxies we found that the solution with two clusters is better than the single unit solution at the 99\% c.l. This is consistent with the X-ray distribution around this field, which shows no common X-ray halo involving A3407 and A3408. We also estimated virial masses and applied a two-body model to probe the dynamics of the pair. The more likely scenario is that in which the pair is gravitationally bound and probably experiences a collapse phase, with the cluster cores crossing in less than ∌\sim1 h−1h^{-1} Gyr, a pre-merger scenario. The complex X-ray morphology, the gas temperature, and some signs of galaxy evolution in A3408 suggests a post-merger scenario, with cores having crossed each other ∌1.65h−1\sim 1.65 h^{-1}Gyr ago, as an alternative solution.Comment: 17 pages, 12 figures, submitted to MNRAS, accepted 2016 May 9.

    Lichen striatus associated with psoriasis vulgaris treated with oral acitretin.

    Get PDF
    Lichen striatus (LS) is an uncommon dermatosis of unknown etiology that presents as a continuous or interrupted linear band of pink, tan, red or skin-colored papules in a blaschkoid distribution. The lesions are generally solitary and unilateral, but unusual extensive cases with multiple and bilateral lesions have been also described. Albeit LS is typically an asymptomatic and self-limited dermatosis, it may cause a significant psychological distress in some patients, thus requiring an appropriate therapy. Topical steroid is the most commonly used treatment but it is not always effective. We report a case of LS unresponsive to topical steroid therapy associated with psoriasis vulgaris successfully treated with oral acitretin
