Peirce y el lugar de la semiótica

Según Max H. Fisch, mientras el joven Peirce considera la lógica como una parte de la semiótica, en la obra de madurez, la lógica es identificada con la semiótica. En este artículo se ofrece una reconstrucción alternativa de las relaciones entre lógica y semiótica en el pensamiento de Peirce. la primera parte de la tesis de Fisch es sustancialmente correcta: en sus primeros escritos (1865-1866) la lógica es una simbolística objetiva, es decir, una parte de una parte de la ciencia general de todas las representaciones (la semiótica). Parte de la tesis de Fisch debe, en cambio, ser reconsiderada. Para el Peirce maduro (1902-1913), la lógica debe incluir una rama que se ocupe de la clasificación de los signos, es decir, una gramática especulativa.According to Max H. Fisch, while the young Peirce considers logic as a part of semiotics, in his mature writings logic is identified with semiotics. This paper offers an alternative reconstruction of the relations between logic and semiotics in Peirce's thought. The first part of Fisch's thesis is substantially correct: in his earliest writings (1865-1866) logic is objective symbolistic, that is a part of a part of the general science of all representations (semiotics). The second part of Fisch's thesis requires emendation. For the mature Peirce (1902-1913), logic has to include as a proper part a preliminary study of its own boundaries. In other words, logic has to comprise a branch devoted to the classifcation of signs, namely a speculative grammar

Critical Behavior of the Marinari-Parisi Model

We consider the continuum string theory corresponding to the Marinari-Parisi supersymmetric matrix model. We argue that the world-sheet physics is exotic, and different from any known supersymmetric string theory. The embedding superspace coordinates become disordered on the world-sheet, but because of the noncompactness of the embedding time the disorder becomes complete only at asymptotic world-sheet scales.Comment: 7 pages, LaTe

Extensions of the N=2 Supersymmetric a=-2 Boussinesq Hierarchy

We present two different Lax operators for a manifestly N=2 supersymmetric extension of "a=-2" Boussinesq hierarchy . The first is the supersymmetric generalization of the Lax operator of the Modified KdV equation. The second is the generalization of the supersymmetric Lax operator of the N=2 supersymmetric a=-2 KdV system. The gauge transformation of the first Lax operator provide the Miura link between the "small" N=4 supersymmetric conformal algebra and the supersymmetric $W_{3}$ algebra .Comment: LaTex, new references added, minor typos corrected, e-mail: [email protected]

Assessing the State of Modern Physics Education: Pre-test Findings and Influencing Factors

Technology and our conceptions of reality have both been significantly impacted by modern physics. However, due to a variety of issues, such as disparities in educational resources, differing emphasis on science education, cultural attitudes, and language obstacles, students in Latin America, including Ecuador, have a limited understanding of modern physics. The present work exposes a pre-test methodology to evaluate students' knowledge and pinpoint their areas of weakness. The analysis of the results indicates that most students received lower grades, while a smaller proportion obtained higher scores. Our findings reveal significant knowledge gaps, misconceptions, and uncertainty among the participants regarding various topics related to the constituent and stability of the nucleus, quantum behavior, nuclear models, radioactive decay, and natural radioactive sources. Additionally, it was statistically demonstrated (Kruskal-Wallis H test) that misconceptions, uncertainties, and knowledge gaps are not significantly related to learning styles. The type of college substantially impacts academics, with private university students typically receiving higher grades. These results offer insightful information about student performance, how learning styles and college types affect academic achievement in modern physics, and the effects of living area and academic level.Facultad de Informátic

Integrable Extensions of N=2 Supersymmetric KdV Hierarchy Associated with the Nonuniqueness of the Roots of the Lax operator

We preesent a new supersymmetric integrable extensions of the a=4,N=2 KdV hierarchy. The root of the supersymmetric Lax operator of the KdV equation is generalized, by including additional fields. This generalized root generate new hierarchy of integrable equations, for which we investigate the hamiltonian structure. In special case our system describes the interaction of the KdV equation with the two MKdV equations.Comment: 9 pages Latex,e-mail [email protected]

The Supersymmetric Effective Action of the Heterotic String in Ten Dimensions

We construct the supersymmetric completion of quartic $R+R^4$-actions in the ten-dimensional effective action of the heterotic string. Two invariants, of which the bosonic parts are known from one-loop string amplitude calculations, are obtained. One of these invariants can be generalized to an $R+F^2+F^4$-invariant for supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory coupled to supergravity. Supersymmetry requires the presence of $B\wedge R\wedge R\wedge R\wedge R$-terms, ($B\wedge F\wedge F\wedge F\wedge F$ for Yang-Mills) which correspond to counterterms in the Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation. Within the context of our calculation the $\zeta(3)R^4$-term from the tree-level string effective action does not allow supersymmetrization.Comment: 42 pages, UG-9/9

Duality of Type II 7-branes and 8-branes

We present a version of ten-dimensional IIA supergravity containing a 9-form potential for which the field equations are equivalent to those of the standard, massless, IIA theory for vanishing 10-form field strength, $F_{10}$, and to those of the `massive' IIA theory for non-vanishing $F_{10}$. We present a multi 8-brane solution of these equations that generalizes the 8-brane of Polchinski and Witten. We show that this solution is T-dual to a new multi 7-brane solution of $S^1$ compactified IIB supergravity, and that the latter is T-dual to the IIA 6-brane. When combined with the $Sl(2;\Z)$ U-duality of the type IIB superstring, the T-duality between type II 7-branes and 8-branes implies a quantization of the cosmological constant of type IIA superstring theory. These results are made possible by the construction of a new {\it massive} N=2 D=9 supergravity theory. We also discuss the 11-dimensional interpretation of these type II p-branes.Comment: Includes corrections to last section that will appear in the version to be published in Nuclear Physics B. 36 pp. Phyzz

Some Aspects of Spherical Symmetric Extremal Dyonic Black Holes in 4d N=1 Supergravity

In this paper we study several aspects of extremal spherical symmetric black hole solutions of four dimensional N=1 supergravity coupled to vector and chiral multiplets with the scalar potential turned on. In the asymptotic region the complex scalars are fixed and regular which can be viewed as the critical points of the black hole and the scalar potentials with vanishing scalar charges. It follows that the asymptotic geometries are of a constant and non-zero scalar curvature which are generally not Einstein. These spaces could also correspond to the near horizon geometries which are the product spaces of a two anti-de Sitter surface and the two sphere if the value of the scalars in both regions coincides. In addition, we prove the local existence of non-trivial radius dependent complex scalar fields which interpolate between the horizon and the asymptotic region. We finally give some simple {\lC}^{n}-models with both linear superpotential and gauge couplings.Comment: 17 pages, no figure. Added an author. Major revision: typos and grammar corrected, some statements modified, added a section about local existence of scalar fields. Accepted for publication in Int J Mod Phys
