Progress in Small x Resummation
I review recent theoretical progress in the resummation of small x
contributions to the evolution of parton distributions, in view of its
potential significance for accurate phenomenology at future colliders. I show
that a consistent perturbative resummation of collinear and energy logs is now
possible, and necessary if one wishes to use recent NNLO results in the HERA
kinematic region.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, LaTeX with IJMPA document class, invited plenary

Holographic dark energy linearly interacting with dark matter
We investigate a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmological
model with cold dark matter coupled to a modified holographic Ricci dark energy
through a general interaction term linear in the energy densities of dark
matter and dark energy, the total energy density and its derivative. Using the
statistical method of -function for the Hubble data, we obtain
km/sMpc, for the asymptotic equation of state and . The estimated values of which fulfill the
current observational bounds corresponds to a dark energy density varying in
the range 0.25R < \ro_x < 0.27R.Comment: March 2012. 6 pp., 6 figures. Note: To appear in the proceedings of

Small Angle Polarization in High Energy P--P Scattering Through Nonperturbative Chiral Symmetry Breaking
We show that a large anomalous contribution due to nonperturbative
instanton-like gluonic field configurations to the axial charge of the proton
implies high-energy spin effects in elastic scattering. This is the same
mechanism which is responsible for anomalous baryon number violation at high
energy in the standard model. We compute the proton polarization due to these
effects and we show that it is proportional to the center-of-mass scattering
angle with a universal (energy-independent) slope of order unity.Comment: (13 pages, 2 figures
Equilibrium molecular energies used to obtain molecular dissociation energies and heats of formation within the bond-order correlation approach
Ab initio calculations including electron correlation are still extremely
costly except for the smallest atoms and molecules. Therefore, our purpose in
the present study is to employ a bond-order correlation approach to obtain, via
equilibrium molecular energies, molecular dissociation energies and heats of
formation for some 20 molecules containing C, H, and O atoms, with a maximum
number of electrons around 40. Finally, basis set choice is shown to be
important in the proposed procedure to include electron correlation effects in
determining thermodynamic properties. With the optimum choice of basis set, the
average percentage error for some 20 molecules is approximately 20% for heats
of formation. For molecular dissociation energies the average error is much
smaller: ~0.4.Comment: Mol. Phys., to be publishe
