Non BPS topological defect associated with two coupled real field
We investigate a stability equation involving two-component eigenfunctions
which is associated with a potential model in terms of two coupled real scalar
fields, which presents non BPS topological defect.Comment: Revtex, 6 pages, no figures. This work was presented in the XXII

On Matrix Superpotential and Three-Component Normal Modes
We consider the supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) with three-
component normal modes for the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) states. An
explicit form of the SUSY QM matrix superpotential is presented and the
corresponding three-component bosonic zero-mode eigenfunction is investigated.Comment: 17 pages, no figure. Paper accepted for publication in Journal of

Modulated phases and devil's staircases in a layered mean-field version of the ANNNI model
We investigate the phase diagram of a spin- Ising model on a cubic
lattice, with competing interactions between nearest and next-nearest neighbors
along an axial direction, and fully connected spins on the sites of each
perpendicular layer. The problem is formulated in terms of a set of
noninteracting Ising chains in a position-dependent field. At low temperatures,
as in the standard mean-feild version of the Axial-Next-Nearest-Neighbor Ising
(ANNNI) model, there are many distinct spatially commensurate phases that
spring from a multiphase point of infinitely degenerate ground states. As
temperature increases, we confirm the existence of a branching mechanism
associated with the onset of higher-order commensurate phases. We check that
the ferromagnetic phase undergoes a first-order transition to the modulated
phases. Depending on a parameter of competition, the wave number of the striped
patterns locks in rational values, giving rise to a devil's staircase. We
numerically calculate the Hausdorff dimension associated with these
fractal structures, and show that increases with temperature but seems
to reach a limiting value smaller than .Comment: 17 pages, 6 figure
q-Deformed Kink Solutions
The q-deformed kink of the model is obtained via the
normalisable ground state eigenfunction of a fluctuation operator associated
with the q-deformed hyperbolic functions. From such a bosonic zero-mode the
q-deformed potential in 1+1 dimensions is found, and we show that the
q-deformed kink solution is a kink displaced away from the origin.Comment: REvtex, 11 pages, 2 figures. Preprint CBPF-NF-005/03, site at

State determination: an iterative algorithm
An iterative algorithm for state determination is presented that uses as
physical input the probability distributions for the eigenvalues of two or more
observables in an unknown state . Starting form an arbitrary state
, a succession of states is obtained that converges to
or to a Pauli partner. This algorithm for state reconstruction is
efficient and robust as is seen in the numerical tests presented and is a
useful tool not only for state determination but also for the study of Pauli
partners. Its main ingredient is the Physical Imposition Operator that changes
any state to have the same physical properties, with respect to an observable,
of another state.Comment: 11 pages 3 figure
Three dimensional Lifshitz black hole and the Korteweg-de Vries equation
We consider a solution of three dimensional New Massive Gravity with a
negative cosmological constant and use the AdS/CTF correspondence to inquire
about the equivalent two dimensional model at the boundary. We conclude that
there should be a close relation with the Korteweg-de Vries equation.Comment: 4 page
