Meson decay in the Fock-Tani Formalism
The Fock-Tani formalism is a first principle method to obtain effective
interactions from microscopic Hamiltonians. Usually this formalism was applied
to scattering, here we introduced it to calculate partial decay widths for
mesons.Comment: Presented at HADRON05 XI. "International Conference on Hadron

Flag-Dipole Spinor Fields in ESK Gravities
We consider the Riemann-Cartan geometry as a basis for the
Einstein-Sciama-Kibble theory coupled to spinor fields: we focus on and
conformal gravities, regarding the flag-dipole spinor fields, type-(4) spinor
fields under the Lounesto classification. We study such theories in specific
cases given for instance by cosmological scenarios: we find that in such
background the Dirac equation admits solutions that are not Dirac spinor
fields, but in fact the aforementioned flag-dipoles ones. These solutions are
important from a theoretical perspective, as they evince that spinor fields are
not necessarily determined by their dynamics, but also a discussion on their
structural (algebraic) properties must be carried off. Furthermore, the
phenomenological point of view is shown to be also relevant, since for
isotropic Universes they circumvent the question whether spinor fields do
undergo the Cosmological Principle.Comment: 18 pages, improved versio
Limits on dark matter proton scattering from neutrino telescopes using micrOMEGAs
Limits on dark matter spin dependent elastic scattering cross section on
protons derived from IceCube data are obtained for different dark matter
annihilation channels using micrOMEGAs. The uncertainty on the derived limits,
estimated by using different neutrino spectra, can reach a factor two. For all
dark matter annihilation channels except for quarks, the limits on the spin
dependent cross section are more stringent than those obtained in direct
detection experiments. The new functions that allow to derive those limits are
described.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures; v2: references added; v3 and v4: clarifications

Bifurcation structures and transient chaos in a four-dimensional Chua model
A four-dimensional four-parameter Chua model with cubic nonlinearity is
studied applying numerical continuation and numerical solutions methods.
Regarding numerical solution methods, its dynamics is characterized on Lyapunov
and isoperiodic diagrams and regarding numerical continuation method, the
bifurcation curves are obtained. Combining both methods the bifurcation
structures of the model were obtained with the possibility to describe the {\it
shrimp}-shaped domains and their endoskeletons. We study the effect of a
parameter that controls the dimension of the system leading the model to
present transient chaos with its corresponding basin of attraction being
riddled.Comment: 9 figures, to appear in PL
Dynamical Lorentz and CPT symmetry breaking in a 4D four-fermion model
In a 4D chiral Thirring model we analyse the possibility that radiative
corrections may produce spontaneous breaking of Lorentz and CPT symmetry. By
studying the effective potential, we verified that the chiral current
may assume a nonzero vacuum expectation
value which triggers the Lorentz and CPT violations. Furthermore, by making
fluctuations on the minimum of the potential we dynamically induce a bumblebee
like model containing a Chern-Simons term.Comment: Small modifications in the text and new references added, 12 pages, 4
