Fermions in the pseudoparticle approach
The pseudoparticle approach is a numerical technique to compute path
integrals without discretizing spacetime. The basic idea is to integrate over
those field configurations, which can be represented by a sum of a fixed number
of localized building blocks (pseudoparticles). In a couple of previous papers
we have successfully applied the pseudoparticle approach to pure SU(2)
Yang-Mills theory. In this work we discuss how to incorporate fermionic fields
in the pseudoparticle approach. To test our method, we compute the phase
diagram of the 1+1-dimensional Gross-Neveu model in the large-N limit.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
Global Hypoellipticity for Strongly Invariant Operators
In this note, by analyzing the behavior at infinity of the matrix symbol of
an invariant operator with respect to a fixed elliptic operator, we obtain
a necessary and sufficient condition to guarantee that is globally
hypoelliptic. We also investigate relations between the global hypoellipticity
of and global subelliptic estimates.Comment: 20 page
Are Genetically Robust Regulatory Networks Dynamically Different from Random Ones?
We study a genetic regulatory network model developed to demonstrate that
genetic robustness can evolve through stabilizing selection for optimal
phenotypes. We report preliminary results on whether such selection could
result in a reorganization of the state space of the system. For the chosen
parameters, the evolution moves the system slightly toward the more ordered
part of the phase diagram. We also find that strong memory effects cause the
Derrida annealed approximation to give erroneous predictions about the model's
phase diagram.Comment: To be published in Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed-Matter

On properties of (weakly) small groups
A group is small if it has countably many complete -types over the empty
set for each natural number n. More generally, a group is weakly small if
it has countably many complete 1-types over every finite subset of G. We show
here that in a weakly small group, subgroups which are definable with
parameters lying in a finitely generated algebraic closure satisfy the
descending chain conditions for their traces in any finitely generated
algebraic closure. An infinite weakly small group has an infinite abelian
subgroup, which may not be definable. A small nilpotent group is the central
product of a definable divisible group with a definable one of bounded
exponent. In a group with simple theory, any set of pairwise commuting elements
is contained in a definable finite-by-abelian subgroup. First corollary : a
weakly small group with simple theory has an infinite definable
finite-by-abelian subgoup. Secondly, in a group with simple theory, a normal
solvable group A of derived length n is contained in an A-definable almost
solvable group of class n
Aid and Universal Primary Education
Universal Primary Education (UPE) is one of the main objectives of development aid. However, very little empirical evidence of its effectiveness actually exists. Until very recently, the quality of available data was not sufficient to obtain robust results regarding the relationship between international aid and educational achievements. In this article, the latest, more disaggregated and more reliable data is used to study the relationship between aid to education and educational achievements. The focus here not only on educational variables in term of coverage, but also in term of equity and process. The year of Fast Track Initiative (FTI) endorsement is used as an original instrument to tackle the endogeneity problem of aid. Our results are very robust and indicate that aid to primary education has a strong effect on primary school enrollment and gender parity. A negative impact on repetitions rate is also indicated while no effect on the pupil teacher ratio can be observed. Diminishing return in the effectiveness of aid to primary education may also be highlighted. Finally, the governance variables do not appear to have an impact on this relationship.aid effectiveness, education, Sector-specific aid
Single-Inclusive Hadron Production in Polarized pp Scattering at Next-to-Leading Logarithmic Accuracy
We study the resummation of large logarithmic perturbative corrections to the
partonic cross sections relevant for the process pp-> h X at high transverse
momentum of the hadron h, when the initial protons are longitudinally
polarized. We perform the resummation to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy.
We present numerical results for center-of-mass energies of 19.4 GeV, relevant
for comparisons to data from the Fermilab E704 experiment, and 62.4 GeV, where
preliminary data from RHIC have recently become available. We find significant
enhancements of the spin-dependent cross sections, but a decrease of the
double-spin asymmetry for the process. This effect is less pronounced at the
higher energy.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures. Figures 3, 4 and 5 modifie
