Vacuum Polarization for a Massless Spin-1/2 Field in the Global Monopole Spacetime at Nonzero Temperature
In this paper we present the effects produced by the temperature in the
renormalized vacuum expectation value of the zero-zero component of the
energy-momentum tensor associated with massless left-handed spinor field in the
pointlike global monopole spacetime. In order to develop this calculation we
had to obtain the Euclidean thermal Green function in this background. Because
the expression obtained for the thermal energy density cannot be expressed in a
closed form, its explicit dependence on the temperature is not completely
evident. So, in order to obtain concrete information about its thermal
behavior, we develop a numerical analysis of our result in the high-temperature
limit for specific values of the parameter which codify the presence
of the monopole.Comment: 22 pages, LaTex format, 5 figure
Vacuum Polarization by a Magnetic Flux Tube at Finite Temperature in the Cosmic String Spacetime
In this paper we analyse the effect produced by the temperature in the vacuum
polarization associated with charged massless scalar field in the presence of
magnetic flux tube in the cosmic string spacetime. Three different
configurations of magnetic fields are taken into account: a homogeneous
field inside the tube, a field proportional to and a
cylindrical shell with -function. In these three cases, the axis of the
infinitely long tube of radius coincides with the cosmic string. Because
the complexity of this analysis in the region inside the tube, we consider the
thermal effect in the region outside. In order to develop this analysis, we
construct the thermal Green function associated with this system for the three
above mentioned situations considering points in the region outside the tube.
We explicitly calculate in the high-temperature limit, the thermal average of
the field square and the energy-momentum tensor.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figur
Review of a Small-scale Pelagic Longline Fishery off Northeastern Brazil
The annual catches of four small longliners operating off northeast Brazil from 1983 to 1997 were examined across different areas and locations. The total catch comprised tunas (30%), sharks (54%), billfishes (12%), and other fish species (4%). Fishing strategy and annual composition of catches showed large spatial and temporal variabilities with the dominant catches alternating among yellowfin tuna,
Thunnus albacares; gray sharks, Carcharhinus spp.; and blue shark, Prionace glauca. Catches of blue and gray sharks
showed a significant interaction among seamounts, with gray sharks occurring in maximum abundance around those seamounts
that had relatively deep summits and low-sloping depth profiles. Results are discussed in terms of the various factors that may have influenced distribution of effort

Relativistic Quantum Scattering on a Cone
We study the relativistic quantum mechanical scattering of a bosonic particle
by an infinite straight cosmic string, considering the non-minimal coupling
between the bosonic field and the scalar curvature. In this case, an effective
two-dimensional delta-function interaction takes place besides the usual
topological scattering and a renormalization procedure is necessary in order to
treat the problem that appears in connection with the delta-function.Comment: 22 pages, LATEX fil
Drude model and Lifshitz formula
Since nearly 10 years, it is known that inserting the permittivity of the
Drude model into the Lifshitz formula for free energy causes a violation of the
third law of thermodynamics. In this paper we show that the standard Matsubara
formulation for free energy contains a contribution that is non-perturbative in
the relaxation parameter. We argue that the correct formula must have a
perturbative expansion and conclude that the standard Matsubara formulation
with the permittivity of the Drude model inserted is not correct. We trace the
non-perturbative contribution in the complex frequency plane, where it shows up
as a self-intersection or a bifurcation of the integration path.Comment: accepted for publication in EPJ
