Neutrinos and Electromagnetic Gauge Invariance
It is discussed a recently proposed connection among U(1)
electromagnetic gauge invariance and the nature of the neutrino mass terms in
the framework of \mbox {SU(3)}_C\otimes G_W \otimes {\mbox U(1)}_N, =
SU(3), extensions of the Standard Model. The impossibility of that
connection, also in the extended case = SU(4), is demonstrated.Comment: 10 pages, Revtex 3.0, no figure
Quasi-Topological Field Theories in Two Dimensions as Soluble Models
We study a class of lattice field theories in two dimensions that includes
gauge theories. Given a two dimensional orientable surface of genus , the
partition function is defined for a triangulation consisting of
triangles of area . The reason these models are called
quasi-topological is that depends on , and but not on the
details of the triangulation. They are also soluble in the sense that the
computation of their partition functions can be reduced to a soluble one
dimensional problem. We show that the continuum limit is well defined if the
model approaches a topological field theory in the zero area limit, i.e.,
with finite . We also show that the universality classes of
such quasi-topological lattice field theories can be easily classified.
Yang-Mills and generalized Yang-Mills theories appear as particular examples of
such continuum limits.Comment: 23 pages, 16 figures, uses psbox.te

Lattices and Their Continuum Limits
We address the problem of the continuum limit for a system of Hausdorff
lattices (namely lattices of isolated points) approximating a topological space
. The correct framework is that of projective systems. The projective limit
is a universal space from which can be recovered as a quotient. We dualize
the construction to approximate the algebra of continuous
functions on . In a companion paper we shall extend this analysis to systems
of noncommutative lattices (non Hausdorff lattices).Comment: 11 pages, 1 Figure included in the LaTeX Source New version, minor

The Role of Interest Rates in the Brazilian Business Cycle
This paper offers additional insights on the relationship between interest rates and business cycles in Brazil. First, I document that Brazilian interest rates are very volatile, counter-cyclical and positively correlated with net exports, as observed in other emerging economies. Next, I present a dynamic general equilibrium model in which firms face working capital constraints and labor supply is independent of consumption. This parsimonious model, appropriately calibrated to the Brazilian economy, predicts that interest rate shocks can explain about one third of output fluctuations and generates business cycle regularities consistent with the Brazilian data.
