Effects of regulation on a self-organized market
Adapting a simple biological model, we study the effects of control on the
market. Companies are depicted as sites on a lattice and labelled by a fitness
parameter (some `company-size' indicator). The chance of survival of a company
on the market at any given time is related to its fitness, its position on the
lattice and on some particular external influence, which may be considered to
represent regulation from governments or central banks. The latter is rendered
as a penalty for companies which show a very fast betterment in fitness space.
As a result, we find that the introduction of regulation on the market
contributes to lower the average fitness of companies.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
Uncertainty Principle of Morgan type and Schr\"odinger Evolutions
We prove unique continuation properties for solutions of evolution
Schr\"odinger equation with time dependent potentials. In the case of the free
solution these correspond to uncertainly principles referred to as being of
Morgan type. As an application of our method we also obtain results concerning
the possible concentration profiles of solutions of semi-linear Schr\"odinger
equations
Panchromatic models of galaxies: GRASIL
We present here a model for simulating the panchromatic spectral energy
distribution of galaxies, which aims to be a complete tool to study the complex
multi-wavelength picture of the universe. The model take into account all
important components that concur to the SED of galaxies at wavelengths from
X-rays to the radio. We review the modeling of each component and provide
several applications, interpreting observations of galaxy of different types at
all the wavelengths.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, invited talk, to appear in the proceedings of:

Strings Next To and Inside Black Holes
The string equations of motion and constraints are solved near the horizon
and near the singularity of a Schwarzschild black hole. In a conformal gauge
such that ( = worldsheet time coordinate) corresponds to the
horizon () or to the black hole singularity (), the string
coordinates express in power series in near the horizon and in power
series in around . We compute the string invariant size and
the string energy-momentum tensor. Near the horizon both are finite and
analytic. Near the black hole singularity, the string size, the string energy
and the transverse pressures (in the angular directions) tend to infinity as
. To leading order near , the string behaves as two dimensional
radiation. This two spatial dimensions are describing the sphere in the
Schwarzschild manifold.Comment: RevTex, 19 pages without figure
Planetoid String Solutions in 3 + 1 Axisymmetric Spacetimes
The string propagation equations in axisymmetric spacetimes are exactly
solved by quadratures for a planetoid Ansatz. This is a straight
non-oscillating string, radially disposed, which rotates uniformly around the
symmetry axis of the spacetime. In Schwarzschild black holes, the string stays
outside the horizon pointing towards the origin. In de Sitter spacetime the
planetoid rotates around its center. We quantize semiclassically these
solutions and analyze the spin/(mass) (Regge) relation for the planetoids,
which turns out to be non-linear.Comment: Latex file, 14 pages, two figures in .ps files available from the
