Graphical and Kinematical Approach to Cosmological Horizons
We study the apparition of event horizons in accelerated expanding
cosmologies. We give a graphical and analytical representation of the horizons
using proper distances to coordinate the events. Our analysis is mainly
kinematical. We show that, independently of the dynamical equations, all the
event horizons tend in the future infinity to a given expression depending on
the scale factor that we call asymptotic horizon. We also encounter a subclass
of accelerating models without horizon. When the ingoing null geodesics do not
change concavity in its cosmic evolution we recover the de Sitter and
quintessence-Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models.Comment: Latex2e, 27 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Class. Quantum Gra

Brane Realizations of Quantum Hall Solitons and Kac-Moody Lie Algebras
Using quiver gauge theories in (1+2)-dimensions, we give brane realizations
of a class of Quantum Hall Solitons (QHS) embedded in Type IIA superstring on
the ALE spaces with exotic singularities. These systems are obtained by
considering two sets of wrapped D4-branes on 2-spheres. The space-time on which
the QHS live is identified with the world-volume of D4-branes wrapped on a
collection of intersecting 2-spheres arranged as extended Dynkin diagrams of
Kac-Moody Lie algebras. The magnetic source is given by an extra orthogonal
D4-brane wrapping a generic 2-cycle in the ALE spaces. It is shown as well that
data on the representations of Kac-Moody Lie algebras fix the filling factor of
the QHS. In case of finite Dynkin diagrams, we recover results on QHS with
integer and fractional filling factors known in the literature. In case of
hyperbolic bilayer models, we obtain amongst others filling factors describing
holes in the graphene.Comment: Lqtex; 15 page
On F-theory Quiver Models and Kac-Moody Algebras
We discuss quiver gauge models with bi-fundamental and fundamental matter
obtained from F-theory compactified on ALE spaces over a four dimensional base
space. We focus on the base geometry which consists of intersecting F0=CP1xCP1
Hirzebruch complex surfaces arranged as Dynkin graphs classified by three kinds
of Kac-Moody (KM) algebras: ordinary, i.e finite dimensional, affine and
indefinite, in particular hyperbolic. We interpret the equations defining these
three classes of generalized Lie algebras as the anomaly cancelation condition
of the corresponding N =1 F-theory quivers in four dimensions. We analyze in
some detail hyperbolic geometries obtained from the affine A base geometry by
adding a node, and we find that it can be used to incorporate fundamental
fields to a product of SU-type gauge groups and fields.Comment: 13 pages; new equations added in section 3, one reference added and
