Scalar form factors and nuclear interactions

The scalar-isoscalar term in the two-pion exchange $NN$ potential is abnormally large and does not respect the hierarchy of effects predicted by chiral perturbation theory. We argue that this anomaly is associated with non-perturbative effects, which are also present in the $\pi N$ scalar form factor.Comment: Talk given at the 20EFB, Pisa, Italy, September 2007. 3 pages and 4 figure

The rate of convergence of Euler approximations for solutions of stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion

The paper focuses on discrete-type approximations of solutions to non-homogeneous stochastic differential equations (SDEs) involving fractional Brownian motion (fBm). We prove that the rate of convergence for Euler approximations of solutions of pathwise SDEs driven by fBm with Hurst index $H>1/2$ can be estimated by $O(\delta^{2H-1})$ ($\delta$ is the diameter of partition). For discrete-time approximations of Skorohod-type quasilinear equation driven by fBm we prove that the rate of convergence is $O(\delta^H)$.Comment: 21 pages, (incorrect) weak convergence result removed, to appear in Stochastic

Relativistic O(q4)O(q^4) two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon potential: configuration space

We have recently performed a relativistic $O(q^4)$ chiral expansion of the two-pion exchange $NN$ potential, and here we explore its configuration space content. Interactions are determined by three families of diagrams, two of which involve just $g_A$ and $f_{\pi}$, whereas the third one depends on empirical coefficients fixed by subthreshold $\pi N$ data. In this sense, the calculation has no adjusted parameters and gives rise to predictions, which are tested against phenomenological potentials. The dynamical structure of the eight leading non-relativistic components of the interaction is investigated and, in most cases, found to be clearly dominated by a well defined class of diagrams. In particular, the central isovector and spin-orbit, spin-spin, and tensor isoscalar terms are almost completely fixed by just $g_A$ and $f_{\pi}$. The convergence of the chiral series in powers of the ratio (pion mass/nucleon mass) is studied as a function of the internucleon distance and, for $r>$ 1 fm, found to be adequate for most components of the potential. An important exception is the dominant central isoscalar term, where the convergence is evident only for $r>$ 2.5 fm. Finally, we compare the spatial behavior of the functions that enter the relativistic and heavy baryon formulations of the interaction and find that, in the region of physical interest, they differ by about 5%.Comment: 27 pages, 33 figure
