Symplectic Quantization for Reducible Systems
We study an extension of the symplectic formalism in order to quantize
reducible systems. We show that a procedure like {\it ghost-of-ghost} of the
BFV method can be applied in terms of Lagrange multipliers. We use the
developed formalism to quantize the antisymmetric Abelian gauge fields.Comment: 12 pages, IF-UFRJ-22/9
The Hamilton-Jacobi Approach to Teleparallelism
We intend to analyse the constraint structure of Teleparallelism employing
the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism for singular systems. This study is conducted
without using an ADM 3+1 decomposition and without fixing time gauge condition.
It can be verified that the field equations constitute an integrable system.Comment: 12 pages, no figur
Interplay between disorder, quantum and thermal fluctuations in ferromagnetic alloys: The case of UCu2Si(2-x)Ge(x)
We consider, theoretically and experimentally, the effects of structural
disorder, quantum and thermal fluctuations in the magnetic and transport
properties of certain ferromagnetic alloys.We study the particular case of
UCu2Si(2-x)Ge(x). The low temperature resistivity, rho(T,x), exhibits Fermi
liquid (FL) behavior as a function of temperature T for all values of x, which
can be interpreted as a result of the magnetic scattering of the conduction
electrons from the localized U spins. The residual resistivity, rho(0,x),
follows the behavior of a disordered binary alloy. The observed non-monotonic
dependence of the Curie temperature, Tc(x), with x can be explained within a
model of localized spins interacting with an electronic bath whose transport
properties cross-over from ballistic to diffusive regimes. Our results clearly
show that the Curie temperature of certain alloys can be enhanced due to the
interplay between quantum and thermal fluctuations with disorder.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
