Reflection matrices for the vertex model
The graded reflection equation is investigated for the
vertex model. We have found four classes of diagonal
solutions and twelve classes of non-diagonal ones. The number of free
parameters for some solutions depends on the number of bosonic and fermionic
degrees of freedom considered.Comment: 30 page
Quantized fields and gravitational particle creation in f(R) expanding universes
The problem of cosmological particle creation for a spatially flat,
homogeneous and isotropic Universes is discussed in the context of f(R)
theories of gravity. Different from cosmological models based on general
relativity theory, it is found that a conformal invariant metric does not
forbid the creation of massless particles during the early stages (radiation
era) of the Universe.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figure
Area Quantization in Quasi-Extreme Black Holes
We consider quasi-extreme Kerr and quasi-extreme Schwarzschild-de Sitter
black holes. From the known analytical expressions obtained for their
quasi-normal modes frequencies, we suggest an area quantization prescription
for those objects.Comment: Final version to appear in Mod. Phys. Lett.
Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard equations connected with the eight-vertex model
Using quasiclassical limit of Baxter's 8 - vertex R - matrix, an elliptic
generalization of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation is constructed. Via
Off-Shell Bethe ansatz an integrable representation for this equation is
obtained. It is shown that there exists a gauge transformation connecting this
equation with Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard equation for SU(2)-WZNW model on
torus.Comment: 20 pages latex, macro: tcilate
Density-functionals not based on the electron gas: Local-density approximation for a Luttinger liquid
By shifting the reference system for the local-density approximation (LDA)
from the electron gas to other model systems one obtains a new class of density
functionals, which by design account for the correlations present in the chosen
reference system. This strategy is illustrated by constructing an explicit LDA
for the one-dimensional Hubbard model. While the traditional {\it ab initio}
LDA is based on a Fermi liquid (the electron gas), this one is based on a
Luttinger liquid. First applications to inhomogeneous Hubbard models, including
one containing a localized impurity, are reported.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures (final version, contains additional applications

Chemical Potential and the Nature of the Dark Energy: The case of phantom
The influence of a possible non zero chemical potential on the nature
of dark energy is investigated by assuming that the dark energy is a
relativistic perfect simple fluid obeying the equation of state (EoS),
(). The entropy condition, ,
implies that the possible values of are heavily dependent on the
magnitude, as well as on the sign of the chemical potential. For , the
-parameter must be greater than -1 (vacuum is forbidden) while for not only the vacuum but even a phantomlike behavior () is
allowed. In any case, the ratio between the chemical potential and temperature
remains constant, that is, . Assuming that the dark energy
constituents have either a bosonic or fermionic nature, the general form of the
spectrum is also proposed. For bosons is always negative and the extended
Wien's law allows only a dark component with which includes
vacuum and the phantomlike cases. The same happens in the fermionic branch for
are permmited only if . The thermodynamics and statistical arguments constrain the
EoS parameter to be , a result surprisingly close to the maximal
value required to accelerate a FRW type universe dominated by matter and dark
energy ().Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
