Nuclear Matter Properties in Derivative Coupling Models Beyond Mean - Field Approximation
The structure of infinite nuclear matter is studied with two of the Zimanyi -
Moszkowski (ZM) models in the framework of a relativistic approximation which
takes into account Hartree terms and beyond and is compared with the results
which come out of the relativistic Hartree - Fock approach in the linear
Walecka model. The simple treatment applied to these models can be used in
substitution to the more complicated Dirac - Brueckner - Hartree - Fock method
to perform future calculations in finite nuclei.Comment: 11 pages including 1 table, 1 figure (available upon request
Nucleon Sigma Term and In-medium Quark Condensate in the Modified Quark-Meson Coupling Model
We evaluate the nucleon sigma term and in-medium quark condensate in the
modified quark-meson coupling model which features a density-dependent bag
constant. We obtain a nucleon sigma term consistent with its empirical value,
which requires a significant reduction of the bag constant in the nuclear
medium similar to those found in the previous works. The resulting in-medium
quark condensate at low densities agrees well with the model independent linear
order result. At higher densities, the magnitude of the in-medium quark
condensate tends to increase, indicating no tendency toward chiral symmetry
restoration.Comment: 9 pages, modified version to be publishe
White dwarfs with a surface electrical charge distribution: Equilibrium and stability
The equilibrium configuration and the radial stability of white dwarfs
composed of charged perfect fluid are investigated. These cases are analyzed
through the results obtained from the solution of the hydrostatic equilibrium
equation. We regard that the fluid pressure and the fluid energy density follow
the relation of a fully degenerate electron gas. For the electric charge
distribution in the object, we consider that it is centralized only close to
the white dwarfs' surfaces. We obtain larger and more massive white dwarfs when
the total electric charge is increased. To appreciate the effects of the
electric charge in the structure of the star, we found that it must be in the
order of with which the electric field is about
. For white dwarfs with electric fields close to the
Schwinger limit, we obtain masses around . We also found that in
a system constituted by charged static equilibrium configurations, the maximum
mass point found on it marks the onset of the instability. This indicates that
the necessary and sufficient conditions to recognize regions constituted by
stable and unstable equilibrium configurations against small radial
perturbations are respectively and .Comment: This is a preprint. The original paper will be published in EPJ
Rewriting systems and biautomatic structures for Chinese, hypoplactic, and sylvester monoids
This paper studies complete rewriting systems and biautomaticity for three interesting classes of finite-rank homogeneous monoids: Chinese monoids, hypoplactic monoids, and sylvester monoids. For Chinese monoids, we first give new presentations via finite complete rewriting systems, using more lucid constructions and proofs than those given independently by Chen & Qui and Güzel Karpuz; we then construct biautomatic structures. For hypoplactic monoids, we construct finite complete rewriting systems and biautomatic structures. For sylvester monoids, which are not finitely presented, we prove that the standard presentation is an infinite complete rewriting system, and construct biautomatic structures. Consequently, the monoid algebras corresponding to monoids of these classes are automaton algebras in the sense of Ufnarovskij
Tensor coupling and pseudospin symmetry in nuclei
In this work we study the contribution of the isoscalar tensor coupling to
the realization of pseudospin symmetry in nuclei. Using realistic values for
the tensor coupling strength, we show that this coupling reduces noticeably the
pseudospin splittings, especially for single-particle levels near the Fermi
surface. By using an energy decomposition of the pseudospin energy splittings,
we show that the changes in these splittings come by mainly through the changes
induced in the lower radial wave function for the low-lying pseudospin
partners, and by changes in the expectation value of the pseudospin-orbit
coupling term for surface partners. This allows us to confirm the conclusion
already reached in previous studies, namely that the pseudospin symmetry in
nuclei is of a dynamical nature.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, uses REVTeX macro
Determination of the neutron star mass-radii relation using narrow-band gravitational wave detector
The direct detection of gravitational waves will provide valuable
astrophysical information about many celestial objects. The most promising
sources of gravitational waves are neutron stars and black holes. These objects
emit waves in a very wide spectrum of frequencies determined by their
quasi-normal modes oscillations. In this work we are concerned with the
information we can extract from f and p-modes when a candidate leaves its
signature in the resonant mass detectors ALLEGRO, EXPLORER, NAUTILUS, MiniGrail
and SCHENBERG. Using the empirical equations, that relate the gravitational
wave frequency and damping time with the mass and radii of the source, we have
calculated the radii of the stars for a given interval of masses in the
range of frequencies that include the bandwidth of all resonant mass detectors.
With these values we obtain diagrams of mass-radii for different frequencies
that allowed to determine the better candidates to future detection taking in
account the compactness of the source. Finally, to determine which are the
models of compact stars that emit gravitational waves in the frequency band of
the mass resonant detectors, we compare the mass-radii diagrams obtained by
different neutron stars sequences from several relativistic hadronic equations
of state (GM1, GM3, TM1, NL3) and quark matter equations of state (NJL, MTI bag
model). We verify that quark stars obtained from MIT bag model with bag
constant equal to 170 MeV and quark of matter in color-superconductivity phase
are the best candidates for mass resonant detectors.Comment: 10 pages and 3 figure
