Reflection matrices for the Uq[sl(r∣2m)(2)]U_{q}[sl(r|2m)^{(2)}] vertex model

The graded reflection equation is investigated for the $U_{q}[sl(r|2m)^{(2)}]$ vertex model. We have found four classes of diagonal solutions and twelve classes of non-diagonal ones. The number of free parameters for some solutions depends on the number of bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom considered.Comment: 30 page

Local Physical Coodinates from Symplectic Projector Method

The basic arguments underlying the symplectic projector method are presented. By this method, local free coordinates on the constrait surface can be obtained for a broader class of constrained systems. Some interesting examples are analyzed.Comment: 8 page

Dynamical instabilities in density-dependent hadronic relativistic models

Unstable modes in asymmetric nuclear matter (ANM) at subsaturation densities are studied in the framework of relativistic mean-field density-dependent hadron models. The size of the instabilities that drive the system are calculated and a comparison with results obtained within the non-linear Walecka model is presented. The distillation and anti-distillation effects are discussed.Comment: 8 pages, 8 Postscript figures. Submitted for publication in Phys. Rev.

Comment on "Theory and computer simulation for the equation of state of additive hard-disk fluid mixtures"

A flaw in the comparison between two different theoretical equations of state for a binary mixture of additive hard disks and Monte Carlo results, as recently reported in C. Barrio and J. R. Solana, Phys. Rev. E 63, 011201 (2001), is pointed out. It is found that both proposals, which require the equation of state of the single component system as input, lead to comparable accuracy but the one advocated by us [A. Santos, S. B. Yuste, and M. L\'{o}pez de Haro, Mol. Phys. 96, 1 (1999)] is simpler and complies with the exact limit in which the small disks are point particles.Comment: 4 pages, including 1 figur
