Universality in quantum chaos and the one parameter scaling theory
We adapt the one parameter scaling theory (OPT) to the context of quantum
chaos. As a result we propose a more precise characterization of the
universality classes associated to Wigner-Dyson and Poisson statistics which
takes into account Anderson localization effects. Based also on the OPT we
predict a new universality class in quantum chaos related to the
metal-insulator transition and provide several examples. In low dimensions it
is characterized by classical superdiffusion or a fractal spectrum, in higher
dimensions it can also have a purely quantum origin as in the case of
disordered systems. Our findings open the possibility of studying the metal
insulator transition experimentally in a much broader type of systems.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, acknowledgment added, typos correcte
Oversampling in shift-invariant spaces with a rational sampling period
8 pages, no figures.It is well known that, under appropriate hypotheses, a sampling formula allows us to recover any function in a principal shift-invariant space from its samples taken with sampling period one. Whenever the generator of the shift-invariant space satisfies the Strang-Fix conditions of order r, this formula also provides an approximation scheme of order r valid for smooth functions. In this paper we obtain sampling formulas sharing the same features by using a rational sampling period less than one. With the use of this oversampling technique, there is not one but an infinite number of sampling formulas. Whenever the generator has compact support, among these formulas it is possible to find one whose associated reconstruction functions have also compact support.This work has been supported by the Grant MTM2009-08345 from the D.G.I. of the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia y TecnologĂa
Symmetry limit properties of a priori mixing amplitudes for non-leptonic and weak radiative decays of hyperons
We show that the so-called parity-conserving amplitudes predicted in the a
priori mixing scheme for non-leptonic and weak radiative decays of hyperons
vanish in the strong-flavor symmetry limit

The relationship of drug reimbursement with the price and the quality of pharmaceutical innovations
This paper studies the strategic interaction between pharmaceutical firms' pricing decisions and government agencies' reimbursement decisions which discriminate between patients by giving reimbursement rights to patients for whom the drug is most effective. We show that if the reimbursement decision preceeds the pricing decision, the agency only reimburses some patients if the private and public health benefits from the new drug diverge. That is, when (i) there are large externalities of consuming the drug and (ii) the difference in costs between the new drug and the alternative treatment is large. Alternatively, if the firm can commit to a price in advance of the reimbursement decision, we identify a strategic effect which implies that by committing to a high price ex ante, the firm can force a listing outcome and make the agency more willing to reimburse than in the absence of commitment
Equivalence between the real time Feynman histories and the quantum shutter approaches for the "passage time" in tunneling
We show the equivalence of the functions and
for the ``passage time'' in tunneling. The former, obtained within the
framework of the real time Feynman histories approach to the tunneling time
problem, using the Gell-Mann and Hartle's decoherence functional, and the
latter involving an exact analytical solution to the time-dependent

A model for conservative chaos constructed from multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates with a trap in 2 dimensions
To show a mechanism leading to the breakdown of a particle picture for the
multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates(BECs) with a harmonic trap in high
dimensions, we investigate the corresponding 2- nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger
equation (Gross-Pitaevskii equation) with use of a modified variational
principle. A molecule of two identical Gaussian wavepackets has two degrees of
freedom(DFs), the separation of center-of-masses and the wavepacket width.
Without the inter-component interaction(ICI) these DFs show independent regular
oscillations with the degenerate eigen-frequencies. The inclusion of ICI
strongly mixes these DFs, generating a fat mode that breaks a particle picture,
which however can be recovered by introducing a time-periodic ICI with zero
average. In case of the molecule of three wavepackets for a three-component
BEC, the increase of amplitude of ICI yields a transition from regular to
chaotic oscillations in the wavepacket breathing.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
