On S-matrix factorization of the Landau-Lifshitz model

We consider the three-particle scattering S-matrix for the Landau-Lifshitz model by directly computing the set of the Feynman diagrams up to the second order. We show, following the analogous computations for the non-linear Schrdinger model [1, 2], that the three-particle S-matrix is factorizable in the first non-trivial order.

The energy of Bianchi type I and II universes in teleparallel gravity

For certain models, the energy of the universe, which includes the energy of both matter and the gravitational fields, is obtained by using the quasi-local energy-momentum in teleparallel gravity. It is shown that, in the case of the Bianchi type I and II universes, not only the total energy but also the quasi-local energy-momentum for any region vanishes independently of the three dimensionless coupling constants of teleparallel gravity.

On the dynamics of the Bianchi IX system

In this paper, we study the flow on three invariant sets of dimension five for the classical Bianchi IX system. In these invariant sets, using the Darboux theory of integrability, we prove the non-existence of periodic solutions and we study their dynamics. Moreover, we find three invariant sets of dimension four where the flow is integrable.

Anisotropic Lifshitz point at O(epsilon(2)(L))

We present the critical exponents nu (L2), eta (L2) and gamma (L) for an m-axial Lifshitz point at second order in an epsilon (L) expansion. We introduce a constraint involving the loop momenta along the m-dimensional subspace in order to perform two- and three-loop integrals. The results are valid in the range 0 less than or equal to m less than or equal to d. The case m = 0 corresponds to the usual Ising-like critical behaviour.

Description of the larva and redescription of the adult of Kempnyia neotropica Jacobsen and Bianchi (Plecoptera : Perlidae) with biological notes

Kempnyia neotropica is the species with the widest distribution in this genus. In this work, samples collected in the states of Gois, Minas Gerais and So Paulo were analysed, confirming that all belong to a single species. The larva is described, the adult is redescribed and biological notes are presented.

On the Bhabha scattering for z=2 Lifshitz QED

In this paper, we compute and discuss the differential cross-section of the Bhabha scattering in the framework of the z = 2 Lifshitz quantum electrodynamics (QED). We start by constructing the classical solutions for the fermionic fields, in particular the completeness relations, and also derive the theory's propagators. Afterwards, we compute the photon exchange and pair annihilation contributions for the Bhabha's process, and upon achieving the results we establish the magnitude of the theory's free parameter by looking for small deviations of the QED tree results.

Bianchi identities for an N=2, d=5 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on the group manifold

The purpose of this note is the construction of a geometrical structure for a supersymmetric N = 2, d = 5 Yang-Mills theory on the group manifold. From a general hypothesis proposed for the curvatures of the theory, the Bianchi identities are solved, whose solution will be fundamental for the construction of the geometrical action for the N = 2, d = 5 supergravity and Yang-Mills coupled theory.
