Some properties of two Nambu--Jona-Lasinio -type models with inputs from lattice QCD
We investigate the phase diagram of the so-called
Polyakov--Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model at finite temperature and nonzero
chemical potential. The calculations are performed in the light and strange
quark sectors (, , ), which includes the 't Hooft instanton induced
interaction term that breaks the axial symmetry, and the quarks are coupled to
the (spatially constant) temporal background gauge field. On one hand, a
special attention is payed to the critical end point (CEP). The strength of the
flavor-mixing interaction alters the CEP location, since when it becomes weaker
the CEP moves to low temperatures and can even disappear. On the other hand, we
also explore the connection between QCD, a nonlocal Nambu--Jona-Lasinio type
model and the Landau gauge gluon propagator. Possible links between the
quenched gluon propagator and low energy hadronic phenomenology are
investigated.Comment: Contribution to the International Meeting "Excited QCD", Peniche,

On the Nonlinear Impulsive --Hilfer Fractional Differential Equations
In this paper, we consider the nonlinear -Hilfer impulsive fractional
differential equation. Our main objective is to derive the formula for the
solution and examine the existence and uniqueness of results. The acquired
results are extended to the nonlocal -Hilfer impulsive fractional
differential equation. We gave an applications to the outcomes we procured.
Further, examples are provided in support of the results we got.Comment: 2
Interplay between chiral and axial symmetries in a SU(2) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Model with the Polyakov loop
We consider a two flavor Polyakov--Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model where the
Lagrangian includes an interaction term that explicitly breaks the U
anomaly. At finite temperature, the restoration of chiral and axial symmetries,
signaled by the behavior of several observables, is investigated. We compare
the effects of two regularizations at finite temperature, one of them, that
allows high momentum quarks states, leading to the full recovery of chiral
symmetry. From the analysis of the behavior of the topological susceptibility
and of the mesonic masses of the axial partners, it is found in the SU(2) model
that, unlike the SU(3) results, the recovery of the axial symmetry is not a
consequence of the full recovery of the chiral symmetry. Thus, one needs to use
an additional idea, by means of a temperature dependence of the anomaly
coefficient, that simulates instanton suppression effects.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figures; PRD versio

Photochemical studies of cis-[Ru(bpy)2(4-bzpy)(CO)](PF6)2 and cis-[Ru(bpy)2(4-bzpy)(Cl)](PF6): Blue light-induced nucleobase binding.
The ruthenium(II) compounds cis-[Ru(bpy)2(4-bzpy)(CO)](PF6)2 (I) and cis-[Ru(bpy)2(4-bzpy)(Cl)](PF6) (II) (4-bzpy=4-benzoylpyridine, bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The crystal structure of II was determined by X-ray diffraction. The photochemical behavior of I in aqueous solution shows that irradiation with ultraviolet light (365nm) releases both CO and 4-bzpy leading to the formation of the cis-[Ru(bpy)2(H2O)2]2+ ion as identified by NMR and electronic spectroscopy. Carbon monoxide release was confirmed with the myoglobin method and by gas chromatographic analysis of the headspace. CO release was not observed when aqueous I was irradiated with blue light (453nm). Changes in the electronic and 1H NMR spectra indicate that I undergoes photoaquation of 4-bzpy to form cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CO)(H2O)]2+. Blue light irradiation of aqueous II released the coordinated 4-bzpy to give the cis-[Ru(bpy)2(H2O)(Cl)]2+ ion. When the latter reaction was carried out in the presence of the nucleobase guanine, Ru-guanine adducts were formed, indicating that the metal containing photoproduct may also participate in biologically relevant reactions. The photochemical behavior of I indicates that it can release either CO or 4-bzpy depending on the wavelength chosen, a feature that may have therapeutic application

The first radial velocity measurements of a microlensing event: no evidence for the predicted binary
The gravitational microlensing technique allows the discovery of exoplanets
around stars distributed in the disk of the galaxy towards the bulge. However,
the alignment of two stars that led to the discovery is unique over the
timescale of a human life and cannot be re-observed. Moreover, the target host
is often very faint and located in a crowded region. These difficulties hamper
and often make impossible the follow-up of the target and study of its possible
companions. Gould et al. (2013) predicted the radial-velocity curve of a binary
system, OGLE-2011-BLG-0417, discovered and characterised from a microlensing
event by Shin et al. (2012). We used the UVES spectrograph mounted at the VLT,
ESO to derive precise radial-velocity measurements of OGLE-2011-BLG-0417. To
gather high-precision on faint targets of microlensing events, we proposed to
use the source star as a reference to measure the lens radial velocities. We
obtained ten radial velocities on the putative V=18 lens with a dispersion of
~100 m/s, spread over one year. Our measurements do not confirm the
microlensing prediction for this binary system. The most likely scenario is
that the assumed V=18 mag lens is actually a blend and not the primary lens
that is 2 magnitude fainter. Further observations and analyses are needed to
understand the microlensing observation and infer on the nature and
characteristics of the lens itself.Comment: submitted on 3rd June 2015 to A&ALette
