Orthogonal polynomial method and odd vertices in matrix models
We show how to use the method of orthogonal polynomials for integrating, in
the planar approximation, the partition function of one-matrix models with a
potential with even or odd vertices, or any combination of them.Comment: 13 pages, 3 Postscript figure
Damping of Josephson oscillations in strongly correlated one-dimensional atomic gases
We study Josephson oscillations of two strongly correlated one-dimensional
bosonic clouds separated by a localized barrier. Using a quantum-Langevin
approach and the exact Tonks-Girardeau solution in the impenetrable-boson
limit, we determine the dynamical evolution of the particle-number imbalance,
displaying an effective damping of the Josephson oscillations which depends on
barrier height, interaction strength and temperature. We show that the damping
originates from the quantum and thermal fluctuations intrinsically present in
the strongly correlated gas. Thanks to the density-phase duality of the model,
the same results apply to particle-current oscillations in a one-dimensional
ring where a weak barrier couples different angular momentum states
Bosonization, Pairing, and Superconductivity of the Fermionic Tonks-Girardeau Gas
We determine some exact static and time-dependent properties of the fermionic
Tonks-Girardeau (FTG) gas, a spin-aligned one-dimensional Fermi gas with
infinitely strongly attractive zero-range odd-wave interactions. We show that
the two-particle reduced density matrix exhibits maximal off-diagonal
long-range order, and on a ring an FTG gas with an even number of atoms has a
highly degenerate ground state with quantization of Coriolis rotational flux
and high sensitivity to rotation and to external fields and accelerations. For
a gas initially under harmonic confinement we show that during an expansion the
momentum distribution undergoes a "dynamical bosonization", approaching that of
an ideal Bose gas without violating the Pauli exclusion principle.Comment: v3: 4 pages, 2 figures, revtex4. Section on the fermionic TG gas on a

Fermionization of a strongly interacting Bose-Fermi mixture in a one-dimensional harmonic trap
We consider a strongly interacting one-dimensional (1D) Bose-Fermi mixture
confined in a harmonic trap. It consists of a Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas (1D Bose
gas with repulsive hard-core interactions) and of a non-interacting Fermi gas
(1D spin-aligned Fermi gas), both species interacting through hard-core
repulsive interactions. Using a generalized Bose-Fermi mapping, we determine
the exact particle density profiles, momentum distributions and behaviour of
the mixture under 1D expansion when opening the trap. In real space, bosons and
fermions do not display any phase separation: the respective density profiles
extend over the same region and they both present a number of peaks equal to
the total number of particles in the trap. In momentum space the bosonic
component has the typical narrow TG profile, while the fermionic component
shows a broad distribution with fermionic oscillations at small momenta. Due to
the large boson-fermion repulsive interactions, both the bosonic and the
fermionic momentum distributions decay as at large momenta, like in
the case of a pure bosonic TG gas. The coefficient is related to the
two-body density matrix and to the bosonic concentration in the mixture. When
opening the trap, both momentum distributions "fermionize" under expansion and
turn into that of a Fermi gas with a particle number equal to the total number
of particles in the mixture.Comment: revised version; 8 pages, 7 figure

Exact coherent states of a harmonically confined Tonks-Girardeau gas
Using a scaling transformation we exactly determine the dynamics of an
harmonically confined Tonks-Girardeau gas under arbitrary time variations of
the trap frequency. We show how during a one-dimensional expansion a
``dynamical fermionization'' occurs as the momentum distribution rapidly
approaches an ideal Fermi gas distribution, and that under a sudden change of
the trap frequency the gas undergoes undamped breathing oscillations displaying
alternating bosonic and fermionic character in momentum space. The absence of
damping in the oscillations is a peculiarity of the truly Tonks regime.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, published versio
Magnetic and ground penetrating radar for the research of Medieval buried structures in Marche Region
A magnetic and Ground Penetrating Radar joint
survey was carried out in the framework of the R.I.M.E.M.
project that has the aim of supporting the archaeological
prospections and drive the selection of the excavation areas
related to the Late Roman Period and Early Middle Ages
in the Central and Southern Italy. In particular, this papers
deals with the magnetic surveys acquired near “Madonna
della Valle” and GPR and magnetic joint surveys carried out
in “Monastero”site. Most of magnetic maps carried out in
“Madonna della Valle” site shown the absence of structured
magnetic anomalies, despite of the presence of archaeological signs. Several hypothesis were given to explain this evidence. Joint interpretation performed in “Monastero” site shown more intense magnetic anomalies related with shallower reflections due to probably to buried pipes. Other reflections are related with magnetic anomalies compatible with archaeological targets, but some significant reflections do not correspond to any magnetic anomaly, indicating magnetic method could be “blind” respect the archaeological target.
New field surveys including the electrical resistivity tomography could be carried out in order to overcome these
acquisition and interpretation difficulties

Time-Dependent Multi-Centre Solutions from New Metrics with Holonomy Sim(n-2)
The classifications of holonomy groups in Lorentzian and in Euclidean
signature are quite different. A group of interest in Lorentzian signature in n
dimensions is the maximal proper subgroup of the Lorentz group, SIM(n-2).
Ricci-flat metrics with SIM(2) holonomy were constructed by Kerr and Goldberg,
and a single four-dimensional example with a non-zero cosmological constant was
exhibited by Ghanam and Thompson. Here we reduce the problem of finding the
general -dimensional Einstein metric of SIM(n-2) holonomy, with and without
a cosmological constant, to solving a set linear generalised Laplace and
Poisson equations on an (n-2)-dimensional Einstein base manifold. Explicit
examples may be constructed in terms of generalised harmonic functions. A
dimensional reduction of these multi-centre solutions gives new time-dependent
Kaluza-Klein black holes and monopoles, including time-dependent black holes in
a cosmological background whose spatial sections have non-vanishing curvature.Comment: Typos corrected; 29 page
Relativity principles in 1+1 dimensions and differential aging reversal
We study the behavior of clocks in 1+1 spacetime assuming the relativity
principle, the principle of constancy of the speed of light and the clock
hypothesis. These requirements are satisfied by a class of Finslerian theories
parametrized by a real coefficient , special relativity being recovered
for . The effect of differential aging is studied for the different
values of . Below the critical values the differential
aging has the usual direction - after a round trip the accelerated observer
returns younger than the twin at rest in the inertial frame - while above the
critical values the differential aging changes sign. The non-relativistic case
is treated by introducing a formal analogy with thermodynamics.Comment: 12 pages, no figures. Previous title "Parity violating terms in
