Tangent bundle geometry from dynamics: application to the Kepler problem
In this paper we consider a manifold with a dynamical vector field and
inquire about the possible tangent bundle structures which would turn the
starting vector field into a second order one. The analysis is restricted to
manifolds which are diffeomorphic with affine spaces. In particular, we
consider the problem in connection with conformal vector fields of second order
and apply the procedure to vector fields conformally related with the harmonic
oscillator (f-oscillators) . We select one which covers the vector field
describing the Kepler problem.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figure
Tensorial dynamics on the space of quantum states
A geometric description of the space of states of a finite-dimensional
quantum system and of the Markovian evolution associated with the
Kossakowski-Lindblad operator is presented. This geometric setting is based on
two composition laws on the space of observables defined by a pair of
contravariant tensor fields. The first one is a Poisson tensor field that
encodes the commutator product and allows us to develop a Hamiltonian
mechanics. The other tensor field is symmetric, encodes the Jordan product and
provides the variances and covariances of measures associated with the
observables. This tensorial formulation of quantum systems is able to describe,
in a natural way, the Markovian dynamical evolution as a vector field on the
space of states. Therefore, it is possible to consider dynamical effects on
non-linear physical quantities, such as entropies, purity and concurrence. In
particular, in this work the tensorial formulation is used to consider the
dynamical evolution of the symmetric and skew-symmetric tensors and to read off
the corresponding limits as giving rise to a contraction of the initial Jordan
and Lie products.Comment: 31 pages, 2 figures. Minor correction

Difficult phylogenetic questions: more data, maybe; better methods, certainly
Contradicting the prejudice that endosymbiosis is a rare phenomenon, HusnĂk and co-workers show in BMC Biology that bacterial endosymbiosis has occured several times independently during insect evolution. Rigorous phylogenetic analyses, in particular using complex models of sequence evolution and an original site removal procedure, allow this conclusion to be established after eschewing inference artefacts that usually plague the positioning of highly divergent endosymbiont genomic sequences

The proton radius puzzle
High-precision measurements of the proton radius from laser spectroscopy of
muonic hydrogen demonstrated up to six standard deviations smaller values than
obtained from electron-proton scattering and hydrogen spectroscopy. The status
of this discrepancy, which is known as the proton radius puzzle will be
discussed in this paper, complemented with the new insights obtained from
spectroscopy of muonic deuterium.Comment: Moriond 2017 conference, 8 pages, 4 figure
On two-dimensionalization of three-dimensional turbulence in shell models
Applying a modified version of the Gledzer-Ohkitani-Yamada (GOY) shell model,
the signatures of so-called two-dimensionalization effect of three-dimensional
incompressible, homogeneous, isotropic fully developed unforced turbulence have
been studied and reproduced. Within the framework of shell models we have
obtained the following results: (i) progressive steepening of the energy
spectrum with increased strength of the rotation, and, (ii) depletion in the
energy flux of the forward forward cascade, sometimes leading to an inverse
cascade. The presence of extended self-similarity and self-similar PDFs for
longitudinal velocity differences are also presented for the rotating 3D
turbulence case
