Embedding q-deformed Heisenberg Algebras into Undeformed Ones

Gaetano Fiore

Any deformation of a Weyl or Clifford algebra can be realized through some change of generators in the undeformed algebra. Here we briefly describe and motivate our systematic proc…

Limits on dark matter WIMPs using upward-going muons in the MACRO detector

The MACRO Collaboration, M. Ambrosio et al

We perform an indirect search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using the MACRO detector to look for neutrino-induced upward-going muons resulting from the annihilat…

Regularizing Property of the Maximal Acceleration Principle in Quantum Field Theory

V. V. Nesterenko, A. Feoli, G. Lambiase +1

It is shown that the introduction of an upper limit to the proper acceleration of a particle can smooth the problem of ultraviolet divergencies in local quantum field theory. For t…

Heat Kernel Asymptotics of the Gilkey-Smith Boundary Value Problem

Ivan G. Avramidi, Giampiero Esposito

The formulation of gauge theories on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary leads to partial differential operators with Gilkey--Smith boundary conditions, whose peculiar prope…

Crossover properties from random percolation to frustrated percolation

L. Cannavacciuolo, A. de Candia, A. Coniglio

We investigate the crossover properties of the frustrated percolation model on a two-dimensional square lattice, with asymmetric distribution of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic…

Cluster formulation of spin glasses and the frustrated percolation model: statics and dynamics

A. de Candia, V. Cataudella, A. Coniglio

We study the properties of the q-state frustrated bond percolation model by a Monte Carlo "bond flip" dynamics, using an algorithm originally devised by Sweeny and suitably modifie…

The inverse problem in microlensing: from the optical depth to the galaxy models parameters

V. F. Cardone, R. de Ritis, A. A. Marino

We present in this paper a simple method to obtain informations on galaxy models parameters using the measured value of the microlensing optical depth. Assuming a 100 percent MACHO…

A New Family of Gauges in Linearized General Relativity

Giampiero Esposito, Cosimo Stornaiolo

For vacuum Maxwell theory in four dimensions, a supplementary condition exists (due to Eastwood and Singer) which is invariant under conformal rescalings of the metric, in agreemen…

Projective Systems of Noncommutative Lattices as a Pregeometric Substratum

Giovanni Landi, Fedele Lizzi

We present an approximation to topological spaces by {\it noncommutative} lattices. This approximation has a deep physical flavour based on the impossibility to fully localize part…

Effect of weak disorder in the Fully Frustrated XY model

V. Cataudella

The critical behaviour of the Fully Frustrated XY model in presence of weak positional disorder is studied in a square lattice by Monte Carlo methods. The critical exponent associa…

On Ellipticity and Gauge Invariance in Euclidean Quantum Gravity

Ivan G. Avramidi, Giampiero Esposito

Invariance principles determine many key properties in quantum field theory, including, in particular, the appropriate form of the boundary conditions. A crucial consistency check…

Dynamical response functions in models of vibrated granular media

Mario Nicodemi

In recently introduced schematic lattice gas models for vibrated dry granular media, we study the dynamical response of the system to small perturbations of shaking amplitudes and…

Off-shell amplitudes for nonoriented closed strings

L. Cappiello, R. Marotta, R. Pettorino +1

In the context of the bosonic closed string theory, by using the operatorial formalism, we give a simple expression of the off-shell amplitude with an arbitrary number of external…

Phenomenological Bounds on B to Light Semileptonic Form Factors

D. Falcone, P. Santorelli, N. Tancredi +1

The form factors for the weak currents between B and light mesons are studied by relating them to the corresponding D form factors at q^2_{max} according to HQET, by evaluating the…

Oscillating universes as eigensolutions of cosmological Schrödinger equation

S. Capozziello, A. Feoli, G. Lambiase

We propose a cosmological model which could explain, in a very natural way, the apparently periodic structures of the universe, as revealed in a series of recent observations. Our…
