Dispersive representation of the pion vector form factor in decays
We propose a dispersive representation of the charged pion vector form factor
that is consistent with chiral symmetry and fulfills the constraints imposed by
analyticity and unitarity. Unknown parameters are fitted to the very precise
data on decays obtained by Belle, leading to a
good description of the corresponding spectral function up to a
squared invariant mass GeV. We discuss the effect of isospin
corrections, and obtain the values of low energy observables. For larger values
of , this representation is complemented with a phenomenological description
to allow its implementation in the new TAUOLA hadronic currents.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figures. Determination of rho(770) pole parameters

A multi-domain approach to asteroid families identification
Previous works have identified families halos by an analysis in proper
elements domains, or by using Sloan Digital Sky Survey-Moving Object Catalog
data, fourth release (SDSS-MOC4) multi-band photometry to infer the asteroid
taxonomy, or by a combination of the two methods. The limited number of
asteroids for which geometric albedo was known until recently discouraged in
the past the extensive use of this additional parameter, which is however of
great importance in identifying an asteroid taxonomy. The new availability of
geometric albedo data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)
mission for about 100,000 asteroids significantly increased the sample of
objects for which such information, with some errors, is now known.
In this work we proposed a new method to identify families halos in a
multi-domain space composed by proper elements, SDSS-MOC4 (a*,i-z) colors, and
WISE geometric albedo for the whole main belt (and the Hungaria and Cybele
orbital regions). Assuming that most families were created by the breakup of an
undifferentiated parent body, they are expected to be homogeneous in colors and
albedo. The new method is quite effective in determining objects belonging to a
family halo, with low percentages of likely interlopers, and results that are
quite consistent in term of taxonomy and geometric albedo of the halo members.Comment: 23 pages, 18 figures, 6 tables. Accepted for publication in MNRA
Candida albicans UBI3 and UBI4 promoter regions confer differential regulation of invertase production to Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells in response to stress
Candida albicans ubiquitin genes UBI3 and UBI4 encode a ubiquitin-hybrid protein involved in ribosome biogenesis and polyubiquitin, respectively. In this work we show that UBI3 and UBI4 promoter regions confer differentialexpr ession consistent with the function of their encoded gene products. Hybrid genes were constructed containing the SUC2 coding region under the controlof UBI3 or UBI4 promoters in the yeast vector pLC7. Invertase production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae transformants was differentially regulated: the UBI4 promoter was induced by stress conditions (thermalupshift and/or starvation) whereas the UBI3 promoter conferred constitutive invertase production in growing yeast cells. These results indicate that the UBI4 promoter is regulated by stress-response signaling pathways, whereas the UBI3 promoter is controlled according to the requirement for protein synthesis to support cell growth

Non-Gorenstein isolated singularities of graded countable Cohen-Macaulay type
In this paper we show a partial answer the a question of C. Huneke and G.
Leuschke (2003): Let R be a standard graded Cohen-Macaulay ring of graded
countable Cohen-Macaulay representation type, and assume that R has an isolated
singularity. Is R then necessarily of graded finite Cohen-Macaulay
representation type? In particular, this question has an affirmative answer for
standard graded non-Gorenstein rings as well as for standard graded Gorenstein
rings of minimal multiplicity. Along the way, we obtain a partial
classification of graded Cohen-Macaulay rings of graded countable
Cohen-Macaulay type.Comment: 15 Page
Hadron structure in tau -> KKpi nu_tau decays
We analyse the hadronization structure of both vector and axial-vector
currents leading to tau -> KKpi nu_tau decays. At leading order in the 1/Nc
expansion, and considering only the contribution of the lightest resonances, we
work out, within the framework of the resonance chiral Lagrangian, the
structure of the local vertices involved in those processes. The couplings in
the resonance theory are constrained by imposing the asymptotic behaviour of
vector and axial-vector spectral functions ruled by QCD. In this way we predict
the hadron spectra and conclude that, contrarily to previous assertions, the
vector contribution dominates by far over the axial-vector one in all KKpi
charge channels.Comment: 32 pages, 7 figure
