Antiferromagnetic Ising model in an imaginary magnetic field
We study the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model with a purely
imaginary magnetic field, which can be thought of as a toy model for the usual
physics. Our motivation is to have a benchmark calculation in a system
which suffers from a strong sign problem, so that our results can be used to
test Monte Carlo methods developed to tackle such problems. We analyze here
this model by means of analytical techniques, computing exactly the first eight
cumulants of the expansion of the effective Hamiltonian in powers of the
inverse temperature, and calculating physical observables for a large number of
degrees of freedom with the help of standard multi-precision algorithms. We
report accurate results for the free energy density, internal energy, standard
and staggered magnetization, and the position and nature of the critical line,
which confirm the mean-field qualitative picture, and which should be
quantitatively reliable, at least in the high-temperature regime, including the
entire critical line

Massive Schwinger model at finite
Using the approach developed in [V. Azcoiti, G. Di Carlo, A. Galante, V.
Laliena, \textit{Phys. Lett.} \textbf{B563}, (2003) 117], we are able to
reconstruct the behavior of the massive 1-flavor Schwinger model with a
term and a quantized topological charge. We calculate the full
dependence of the order parameter with . Our results at
are compatible with Coleman's conjecture on the phase diagram of this model.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure
El tiempo a través del tiempo
El presente ensayo pretende ser una introducción general al problema filosófico del tiempo desde sus muy diferentes formas y posibilidades de ser abordado. En este sentido, el artículo recorre el problema desde diferentes puntos de vista y da breve cuenta de la pluralidad y diversidad de los tiempos que se encuentran en las diferentes definiciones filosóficas, en los diferentes estratos del saber, en las diferentes épocas y culturas, y también en los diferentes instrumentos que miden el propio tiempo.The present essay is designed to be a general introduction to the philosophical problem of time from its very different forms and ways of approaching. In this sense, the article covers the problem from different perspectives and gives a brief account of the plurality and diversity of the time found in the different philosophical definitions, in the different layers of knowledge, in different periods and cultures and also in the different instruments used to measure time itself
Family farming in the agricultural census of 2006: the legal mark and the options for their identification.
(Agricultura familiar no censo agropecuário 2006: o marco legal e as opções para sua identificação). Visando delimitar a agricultura familiar no Censo Agropecuário 2006, o Ministério do Desenvolvimento Agrário (MDA) e o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) elaboraram metodologia para construção de uma variável identificando os estabelecimentos agropecuários recenseados e que se ajustam ao conceito previsto na Lei n.11.326, de 24 de julho de 2006. O texto apresenta os passos metodológicos utilizados e alguns resultados
Frustration in Lattice Gauge Theory
We introduce a U(1) lattice gauge theory which incorporates explicit
frustration in . We show, by identifying an appropiate order parameter and
through computer simulations, the existence of a frustrated region in the phase
diagram of the model. We study this phase diagram and the nature of the
transition lines.Comment: 3 pages, Latex, 5 figures, espcrc2.sty needed, Talk presented by E.

Las huellas de la oralidad en siete cuentos de la narrativa del treinta
Seguir las huellas de la oralidad en algunos cuentos de la narrativa ecuatoriana
de los treinta es, sin duda, una tarea compleja, porque no se trata de textos que se
inscriben dentro de lo que Walter J. Ong llama oralidad primaria, es decir, “a la
oralidad de una cultura que carece de todo conocimiento de la escritura o de la
impresión”,1 sino de la literatura (letra) hecha, precisamente, por letrados, por
escritores y constituida por textos fijados, hasta cierto punto, por la escritura, es decir,
de la oralidad secundaria, de aquella que depende de la impresión y en general de la
tecnología.
Por lo tanto es necesario considerar, para este estudio, tanto la oralidad como la
escritura –oralidad primaria y oralidad secundaria– como dos niveles dialógicos de
análisis e interpretación, no excluyentes sino complementarios. Por esta razón sería
más apropiado hablar de los efectos de la oralidad en textos escritos, que modelizan
un tipo de cultura, en este caso, la del montubio de las primeras décadas del siglo XX –
la de la época del cacao–. Entonces, la pregunta básica a la que vamos a tratar de
responder es: ¿cómo se representa dicha cultura oral en los textos seleccionados? (“El
cholo del cuerito e venao” y “El cholo que se castró”, de Demetrio Aguilera Malta; “El
Guaraguao” y “La salvaje”, de Joaquín Gallegos Lara; “Mardecido llanto” y “El malo”,
de Enrique Gil Gilbert; y “Banda de pueblo”, de José de la Cuadra.
