Hunting for asymptotia at LHC
We discuss whether the behaviour of some hadronic quantities, such as the
total cross-section, the ratio of the elastic to the total cross-section, are
presently exhibiting the asymptotic behaviour expected at very large energies.
We find phenomenological evidence that at LHC7 there is still space for further
evolution.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, talk given by G. Pancheri at International

Proton-proton forward scattering at the LHC
Recently the TOTEM experiment at the LHC has released measurements at
TeV of the proton-proton total cross section, ,
and the ratio of the real to imaginary parts of the forward elastic amplitude,
. Since then an intense debate on the -parity asymptotic nature of the
scattering amplitude was initiated. We examine the proton-proton and the
antiproton-proton forward data above 10 GeV in the context of an eikonal
QCD-based model, where nonperturbative effects are readily included via a QCD
effective charge. We show that, despite an overall satisfactory description of
the forward data is obtained by a model in which the scattering amplitude is
dominated by only crossing-even elastic terms, there is evidence that the
introduction of a crossing-odd term may improve the agreement with the
measurements of at TeV. In the Regge language the
dominant even(odd)-under-crossing object is the so called Pomeron (Odderon).Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, 1 table. Phenomenological approach revised,
results and conclusions changed, suggesting now the presence of Odderon
effects in forward scattering (once confirmed the TOTEM data at 13 TeV
An Infinite Number of Closed FLRW Universes for Any Value of the Spatial Curvature
The Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmological models are based
on the assumptions of large-scale homogeneity and isotropy of the distribution
of matter and energy. They are usually taken to have spatial sections that are
simply connected; they have finite volume in the positive curvature case, and
infinite volume in the null and negative curvature ones. I want to call the
attention to the existence of an infinite number of models, which are based on
these same metrics, but have compact, finite volume, multiply connected spatial
sections. Some observational implications are briefly mentioned.Comment: 4 pages. Contribution to the 5th International Workshop on Astronomy

Some integrals ocurring in a topology change problem
In a paper presented a few years ago, De Lorenci et al. showed, in the
context of canonical quantum cosmology, a model which allowed space topology
changes (Phys. Rev. D 56, 3329 (1997)). The purpose of this present work is to
go a step further in that model, by performing some calculations only estimated
there for several compact manifolds of constant negative curvature, such as the
Weeks and Thurston spaces and the icosahedral hyperbolic space (Best space).Comment: RevTeX article, 4 pages, 1 figur
Casimir energy in a small volume multiply connected static hyperbolic pre-inflationary Universe
A few years ago, Cornish, Spergel and Starkman (CSS), suggested that a
multiply connected ``small'' Universe could allow for classical chaotic mixing
as a pre-inflationary homogenization process. The smaller the volume, the more
important the process. Also, a smaller Universe has a greater probability of
being spontaneously created. Previously DeWitt, Hart and Isham (DHI) calculated
the Casimir energy for static multiply connected flat space-times. Due to the
interest in small volume hyperbolic Universes (e.g. CSS), we generalize the DHI
calculation by making a a numerical investigation of the Casimir energy for a
conformally coupled, massive scalar field in a static Universe, whose spatial
sections are the Weeks manifold, the smallest Universe of negative curvature
known. In spite of being a numerical calculation, our result is in fact exact.
It is shown that there is spontaneous vacuum excitation of low multipolar
components.Comment: accepted for publication in phys. rev.

Performance Evaluation of CORBA Concurrency Control Service Using Stochastic Petri Nets
The interest in performance evaluation of middleware systems is increasing. Measurement techniques are still predominant among those used to carry out performance evaluation. However, performance models are currently being defined due to their flexibility, precision and facilities to carry out capacity planning activities. This paper presents stochastic Petri net models for performance evaluation of the CORBA Concurrency Control Service (CCS), which mediates concurrent access to objects. In order to validate the proposed models, CCS performance results obtained using those models are then compared against ones obtained through actual measurements.The interest in performance evaluation of middleware systems is increasing.
