A symmetry invariant integral on kappa-deformed spacetime
In this note we present an approach using both constructive and Hopf
algebraic methods to contribute to the not yet fully satisfactory definition of
an integral on kappa-deformed spacetime. The integral presented here is based
on the inner product of differential forms and it is shown that this integral
is explicitly invariant under the deformed symmetry structure.Comment: 16 page

Las instituciones científico-medicas en la Murcia del XVIII : un intento fracasado de renovación de la formación médica
Presentamos un estudio sobre dos intentos que, en la Murcia del siglo XVIII, pretendieron mejorar y actualizar la formación que recibían los profesionales sanitarios. Ambos fracasaron, aparentemente por falta de acuerdo entre sus promotores, si bien pensamos que las causas fueron más profundas y habría que buscarlas en la escasa actividad científica que se desarrolló en la ciudad, lo que hacía innecesaria la existencia de instituciones docentes o de otras como las Academias de Medicina
On the ubiquity of trivial torsion on elliptic curves
The purpose of this paper is to give a "down--to--earth" proof of the
well--known fact that a randomly chosen elliptic curve over the rationals is
most likely to have trivial torsion
Self-gravitating Brownian particles in two dimensions: the case of N=2 particles
We study the motion of N=2 overdamped Brownian particles in gravitational
interaction in a space of dimension d=2. This is equivalent to the simplified
motion of two biological entities interacting via chemotaxis when time delay
and degradation of the chemical are ignored. This problem also bears some
similarities with the stochastic motion of two point vortices in viscous
hydrodynamics [Agullo & Verga, Phys. Rev. E, 63, 056304 (2001)]. We
analytically obtain the density probability of finding the particles at a
distance r from each other at time t. We also determine the probability that
the particles have coalesced and formed a Dirac peak at time t (i.e. the
probability that the reduced particle has reached r=0 at time t). Finally, we
investigate the variance of the distribution and discuss the proper form
of the virial theorem for this system. The reduced particle has a normal
diffusion behaviour for small times with a gravity-modified diffusion
coefficient =r_0^2+(4k_B/\xi\mu)(T-T_*)t, where k_BT_{*}=Gm_1m_2/2 is a
critical temperature, and an anomalous diffusion for large times
~t^(1-T_*/T). As a by-product, our solution also describes the growth of
the Dirac peak (condensate) that forms in the post-collapse regime of the
Smoluchowski-Poisson system (or Keller-Segel model) for T<T_c=GMm/(4k_B). We
find that the saturation of the mass of the condensate to the total mass is
algebraic in an infinite domain and exponential in a bounded domain.Comment: Revised version (20/5/2010) accepted for publication in EPJ
Negative Parity 70-plet Baryon Masses in the 1/Nc Expansion
The masses of the negative parity SU(6) 70-plet baryons are analyzed in the
1/Nc expansion to order 1/Nc and to first order in SU(3) breaking. At this
level of precision there are twenty predictions. Among them there are the well
known Gell-Mann Okubo and equal spacing relations, and four new relations
involving SU(3) breaking splittings in different SU(3) multiplets. Although the
breaking of SU(6) symmetry occurs at zeroth order in 1/Nc, it turns out to be
small. The dominant source of the breaking is the hyperfine interaction which
is of order 1/Nc. The spin-orbit interaction, of zeroth order in 1/Nc, is
entirely fixed by the splitting between the singlet states Lambda(1405) and
Lambda(1520), and the spin-orbit puzzle is solved by the presence of other
zeroth order operators involving flavor exchange.Comment: 31 pages, 3 figure
