Classical solutions of a massless Wess-Zumino model

Marco Frasca
Pages: 464 - 468
We provide a current expansion for the classical equations of motion of the massles Wess-Zumino model. In the low-energy limit, there appears a massive behavior for bosonic degrees of freedom and, at small coupling, the fermion field shows the same mass and supersymmetry is overall preserved. In the...

On Anomalies in Classical Dynamical Systems

Francesco Toppan
Pages: 518 - 533
The definition of "classical anomaly" is introduced. It describes the situation in which a purely classical dynamical system which presents both a lagrangian and a hamitonian formulation admits symmetries of the action for which the Noether conserved charges, endorsed with the Poisson bracket structure,...

Solvable nonlinear discrete-time evolutions and Diophantine findings

Francesco Calogero
Pages: 515 - 517
Certain nonlinearly-coupled systems of N discrete-time evolution equations are identified, which can be solved by algebraic operations; and some remarkable Diophantine findings are thereby obtained. These results might be useful to test the accuracy of numerical routines yielding the N roots of polynomials...

Dynamics of the thermocline in the equatorial region of the Pacific ocean

Calin Iulian Martin
Pages: 516 - 522
This paper is devoted to the subsurface current dynamics in equatorial regions, where the hallmark of a strong stratification is a sharp interface (thermocline), separating two layers of different density, and whose depth is dependent upon the strength of the winds above the ocean's surface. We...

Constructing discrete Painlevé equations: from E8(1) to A1(1) and back

A. Ramani, B. Grammaticos, R. Willox, T. Tamizhmani
Pages: 520 - 535
The ‘restoration method’ is a novel method we recently introduced for systematically deriving discrete Painlevé equations. In this method we start from a given Painlevé equation, typically with E8(1) symmetry, obtain its autonomous limit and construct all possible QRT-canonical forms of mappings that...

Soliton Solutions of the N = 2 Supersymmetric KP Equation

Sasanka Ghosh, Debojit Sarma
Pages: 526 - 538
The N = 2 super-KP equation associated with nonstandard flows is bilinearized using the Hirota method and soliton solutions are obtained. The bilinearization has been done for component fields and its KdV limit is discussed by comparing the soliton solutions obtained by this procedure with those found...

Integration of some examples of geodesic flows via solvable structures

Diego Catalano Ferraioli, Paola Morando
Pages: 521 - 532
Solvable structures are particularly useful in the integration by quadratures of ordinary differential equations. Nevertheless, for a given equation, it is not always possible to compute a solvable structure. In practice, the simplest solvable structures are those adapted to an already known system of...
