Four-boson scale near a Feshbach resonance
We show that an independent four-body momentum scale drives the
tetramer binding energy for fixed trimer energy (or three-body scale
) and large scattering length (). The three- and four-body forces
from the one-channel reduction of the atomic interaction near a Feshbach
resonance disentangle and . The four-body independent
scale is also manifested through a family of Tjon-lines, with slope given by
for . There is the possibility of a new
renormalization group limit cycle due to the new scale

A Cinematic Anti-Monument against Mafia Violence: P. Diliberto’s La mafia uccide solo d’estate
This article explores how contemporary cinema can serve as artistic means to reflect upon, and ultimately counteract, the Mafia’s cultural production of violence. It analyzes Pierfrancesco Diliberto’s La mafia uccide solo d’estate (2013) as a movie that, by thematizing the Mafia in a personal and biological manner, serves as a striking example of an anti-monument. Drawing on concepts from monument theory and documentary theory, the article shows how the movie’s anti-monumental form allows the spectators’ active sensitization to and purging of Mafia culture through the sacrificial blood of its victims. From such a perspective, La mafia uccide solo d’estate proves to be an essential movie to consider in the context of both the present negotiation of Italian identity linked to its most recent violent history, and the contemporary directions of Italian auteur cinema
Nonperturbative study of the two-frequency sine-Gordon model
The two-frequency sine-Gordon model is examined. The focus is mainly on the
case when the ratio of the frequencies is 1/2, given the recent interest in the
literature. We discuss the model both in a perturbative (form factor
perturbation theory) and a nonperturbative (truncated conformal space approach)
framework, and give particular attention to a phase transition conjectured
earlier by Delfino and Mussardo. We give substantial evidence that the
transition is of second order and that it is in the Ising universality class.
Furthermore, we check the UV-IR operator correspondence and conjecture the
phase diagram of the theory.Comment: Minor corrections, LaTeX2e, 39 pages, 26 figures (4 pslatex, 1

Boundary form factors of the sinh-Gordon model with Dirichlet boundary conditions at the self-dual point
In this manuscript we present a detailed investigation of the form factors of
boundary fields of the sinh-Gordon model with a particular type of Dirichlet
boundary condition, corresponding to zero value of the sinh-Gordon field at the
boundary, at the self-dual point. We follow for this the boundary form factor
program recently proposed by Z. Bajnok, L. Palla and G. Takaks in
hep-th/0603171, extending the analysis of the boundary sinh-Gordon model
initiated there. The main result of the paper is a conjecture for the structure
of all n-particle form factors of two particular boundary operators in terms of
elementary symmetric polynomials in certain functions of the rapidity
variables. In addition, form factors of boundary "descendant" fields have been
constructedComment: 14 pages LaTex. Version to appear in J. Phys.

The Scontrone turtles – A new insular testudinoid fauna from the late Miocene of the Central Mediterranean
We here describe a small turtle assemblage originating from the early Tortonian (late Miocene) palaeois-land of Scontrone, central Italy, a locality previously known mostly for its endemic mammals and giantbirds, which were otherwise shared only with the Gargano localities, another fossiliferous area belongingto the same palaeobioprovince. The fossil turtle remains from Scontrone are referred to the geoemydidMauremyssp. and a so far unidentified large-sized testudinid. The biogeographic origins of theScontrone insular chelonians are discussed. The Scontrone geoemydid adds to the known occurrencesofMauremysin the late Miocene of the Mediterranean. The Scontrone large tortoise represents the oldestknown Mediterranean insular testudinid, predating significantly the well-known Quaternary endemicisland tortoises of the area
Isospin Constraints on the Parametric Coupling Model for Nuclear Matter
We make use of isospin constraints to study the parametric coupling model and
the properties of asymmetric nuclear matter. Besides the usual constraints for
nuclear matter - effective nucleon mass and the incompressibility at saturation
density - and the neutron star constraints - maximum mass and radius - we have
studied the properties related with the symmetry energy. These properties have
constrained to a small range the parameters of the model. We have applied our
results to study the thermodynamic instabilities in the liquid-gas phase
transition as well as the neutron star configurations.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
Form factors in the Bullough-Dodd related models: The Ising model in a magnetic field
We consider particular modification of the free-field representation of the
form factors in the Bullough-Dodd model. The two-particles minimal form factors
are excluded from the construction. As a consequence, we obtain convenient
representation for the multi-particle form factors, establish recurrence
relations between them and study their properties. The proposed construction is
used to obtain the free-field representation of the lightest particles form
factors in the perturbed minimal models. As a significant example
we consider the Ising model in a magnetic field. We check that the results
obtained in the framework of the proposed free-field representation are in
agreement with the corresponding results obtained by solving the bootstrap
equations.Comment: 20 pages; v2: some misprints, textual inaccuracies and references
