Through the introduction of an energy-dependent effective potential, which describes the space-time curvature associated with the embedding geometry and its coupling with the cosmological constant and matter fields, solutions of the WDW equation for the wave function of the Universe are obtained. The Lagrangian density is quantized through the standard procedure of raising the Hamiltonian, the helix-like complex scale factor of branched cosmology as well as the corresponding conjugate momentum to the category of quantum operators. As a novelty, ambiguities in the order...

The main objective is to evaluate how this psychosocial theory can be used for the research community in Science Teaching. We present theoretical results, based on an analysis of the TSR and a brief literature review, as well as empirical results from the application of questionnaires in high school (Study 1, N = 291), as well as during the application of a Didactic Module in a classroom with 34 students (Study 2, N = 34). We proceeded with the construction of similarity networks via a software used in Social Psychology (IRAMuTeQ), networks that are graphic representations of a verbal association test, which can give indications of ...

Em especial, a estatística dos quanta elementares que constituem o núcleon se torna relevante. No intuito de investigar estes efeitos no contexto dos modelos de sóliton, considera-se sistemas simples unidimensionais. No modelo de sine-Gordon, o operador de Mandelstam, que cria sólitons topológicos p ~.mtuais, é modificado de maneira a levar em conta a estrutura do sóliton. O operador resultante cria férmions de carga topológica unitária e a sua aplicação sobre o vácuo de Fock produz um estado coerente no qual o campo médio é dado pela solução solitônica clássica. Pela aplicação sucessiva dos operadores, criando sólitons centrados em pontos diferentes, obtem-se um estado coerente no qual o valor esperado do campo é dado pela soma dos campos médios individuais. No estado de dois sólitons, a energia média de interação possui um comportamento de barreira de potencial, evidenciando a repulsão entre sólitons neste modelo. Consideramos também um modelo simplificado de sóliton não - topológico constituído de um único férmion confinado por um campo escalar bosônico. Tanto no modelo topológico como no não - topológico, a variação da norma de um estado de dois sóli tons com a distância entre seus centros revela a competição entre as estatísticas fermiônicas e bosônicas. Na região de separação pequena, o aspecto fermiônico prevalece fazendo a norma do estado se aproximar de zero. Na região de separação média a norma excede a unidade devido à superposição dos quanta bosônicos.When the nucleons, bounded inside a nucleus, overlap, their internai structure affects the nuclear properties. In particular, the statistics of the elementary quanta that constitute the nucleon become relevant. In order to investigate such effects in the context of soliton models, we consider simple one-dimensional sistems. In the sine-Gordon model, the Mandelstam operator, which creates point-like topological solitons, is modifided in such a way as to account for the soliton structure. The resulting operator creates fermions with unitary topological charge and its application on the Fock vacuum produces a coherent state in which the mean field is given by the classical solitonic solution. By successive application of soliton creation operators, centered at different points, one obtains a coherent state in which the mean field is given by the sum of the individual mean fields. In the two-soliton state the mean interaction energy possesses a potential barrier behavior, displaying the repulsion between solitons in this model. Vve also consider a simplified non-topological soliton model, composed of one fermion confined in a scalar bosonic field. In the topological soliton modelas well as in the non-topological one, the variation of the norm of the two-soliton state, with the distance between their centers reveals a competition between the fermionic and bosonic statistics. In the small separation region the fermionic aspect prevails, making the norm go to zero. In the intermediate separation region, the norm exceeds unity due to the overlap of the bosonic quanta

In particular, we shall calculate the decay amplitudes and decay rates of the Ds1(2460) + → D * + s π 0 and Ds1(2536) + → D * (2010) + K 0 , showing the differences between the two models.

A first extension introduces, via minimal coupling, a massive Z ′ boson. This enlarged SM is coupled to a dark matter sector through the Stueckelberg mechanism by a A ′ boson. However, the A ′ boson does not interact directly with the SM fermions. In our study, we found that the A ′ is a massless photon-like particle in dark sector. Constraints on the mass for Z ′ and corrections to Z mass are obtained.

Results show that within this framework it is possible to find ultracompact configurations situated between regular compact stars and black holes.

We show that the CP violation parameter for the decay of accelerated kaons into two pions decreases very slightly as very high accelerations are achieved, implying decreased asymmetry between matter and antimatter in this regime. We discuss the relationship between these results and cosmological processes surrounding matter-antimatter asymmetry and argue that, due to the connection between non-inertial and thermal phenomena established by the Unruh effect, this kind of computation may prove useful in furthering the understanding of thermodynamical effects in curved spacetimes.
