Non-Associativity in the Clifford Bundle on the Parallelizable Torsion 7-Sphere
In this paper we discuss generalized properties of non-associativity in
Clifford bundles on the 7-sphere S7. Novel and prominent properties inherited
from the non-associative structure of the Clifford bundle on S7 are
demonstrated. They naturally lead to general transformations of the spinor
fields on S7 and have dramatic consequences for the associated Kac-Moody
current algebras. All additional properties concerning the non-associative
structure in the Clifford bundle on S7 are considered. We further discuss and
explore their applications.Comment: 16 page
The extended minimal geometric deformation of SU() dark glueball condensates
The extended minimal geometric deformation (EMGD) procedure, in the
holographic membrane paradigm, is employed to model stellar distributions that
arise upon self-interacting scalar glueball dark matter condensation. Such
scalar glueballs are SU() Yang-Mills hidden sectors beyond the Standard
Model. Then, corrections to the gravitational wave radiation, emitted by
SU() EMGD dark glueball stars mergers, are derived, and their respective
spectra are studied in the EMGD framework, due to a phenomenological brane
tension with finite value. The bulk Weyl fluid that drives the EMGD is then
proposed to be experimentally detected by enhanced windows at the eLISA and
LIGO.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
Extended quantum portrait of MGD black holes and information entropy
The extended minimal geometric deformation (EMGD) is employed on the fluid
membrane paradigm, to describe compact stellar objects as Bose--Einstein
condensates (BEC) consisting of gravitons. The black hole quantum portrait,
besides deriving a preciser phenomenological bound for the fluid brane tension,
is then scrutinized from the point of view of the configurational entropy. It
yields a range for the critical density of the EMGD BEC, whose configurational
entropy has global minima suggesting the configurational stability of the EMGD
BEC.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, matches the published versio
Anisotropic solutions by gravitational decoupling
We investigate the extension of isotropic interior solutions for static
self-gravitating systems to include the effects of anisotropic spherically
symmetric gravitational sources by means of the gravitational decoupling
realised via the minimal geometric deformation approach. In particular, the
matching conditions at the star surface with the outer Schwarzschild space-time
are studied in great details, and we describe how to generate, from a single
physically acceptable isotropic solution, new families of anisotropic solutions
whose physical acceptability is also inherited from their isotropic parent.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures; references and typos corrected; final version to

Angular Momentum of the BTZ Black Hole in the Teleparallel Geometry
We carry out the Hamiltonian formulation of the three- dimensional
gravitational teleparallelism without imposing the time gauge condition, by
rigorously performing the Legendre transform. Definition of the gravitational
angular momentum arises by suitably interpreting the integral form of the
constraint equation Gama^ik=0 as an angular momentum equation. The
gravitational angular momentum is evaluated for the gravitational field of a
rotating BTZ black hole.Comment: 17 pages, no figures, v2: some misprints corrected, Ref.s added, Eq.s

TWO-PION EXCHANGE NUCLEAR POTENTIAL - CHIRAL CANCELLATIONS
We show that chiral symmetry is responsible for large cancellations in the
two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon interaction, which are similar to those
occuring in free pion-nucleon scattering.Comment: REVTEX style, 5 pages, 3 PostScrip figures compressed, tarred and

Homogeneous abundance analysis of dwarf, subgiant and giant FGK stars with and without giant planets
We have analyzed high-resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio optical
spectra of nearby FGK stars with and without detected giant planets in order to
homogeneously measure their photospheric parameters, mass, age, and the
abundances of volatile (C, N, and O) and refractory (Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, V, Mn,
Fe, Ni, Cu, and Ba) elements. Our sample contains 309 stars from the solar
neighborhood (up to the distance of 100 pc), out of which 140 are dwarfs, 29
are subgiants, and 140 are giants. The photospheric parameters are derived from
the equivalent widths of Fe I and Fe II lines. Masses and ages come from the
interpolation in evolutionary tracks and isochrones on the HR diagram. The
abundance determination is based on the equivalent widths of selected atomic
lines of the refractory elements and on the spectral synthesis of C_2, CN, C I,
O I, and Na I features. We apply a set of statistical methods to analyze the
abundances derived for the three subsamples. Our results show that: i) giant
stars systematically exhibit underabundance in [C/Fe] and overabundance in
[N/Fe] and [Na/Fe] in comparison with dwarfs, a result that is normally
attributed to evolution-induced mixing processes in the envelope of evolved
stars; ii) for solar analogs only, the abundance trends with the condensation
temperature of the elements are correlated with age and anticorrelated with the
surface gravity, which is in agreement with recent studies; iii) as in the case
of [Fe/H], dwarf stars with giant planets are systematically enriched in [X/H]
for all the analyzed elements, except for O and Ba (the former due to
limitations of statistics), confirming previous findings in the literature that
not only iron has an important relation with the planetary formation; and iv)
giant planet hosts are also significantly overabundant for the same metallicity
when the elements from Mg to Cu are combined together.Comment: 20 pages, 16 figures, 8 table
