Covariant Quantization Of Green Schwarz Superstring [PDF]
We describe a canonical covariant approach to the quantization of the Green-Schwarz superstring. The approach is first applied to the canonical covariant quantization of the Brink and Schwarz superparticle. The Kallosh action is obtained in this case, with the correct BRST cohomology.

Mecanica Relacional: A proposito de uma resenha [PDF]
We present a critical analysis of what is called Relational Mechanics, as it has been presented in a book thus entitled, which has been recently reviewed in this journal.

Chaos in undamped, forced oscillators via stroboscopic maps [PDF]
Non-linear dynamics is not a usually covered topic in undergraduate physics courses. However, its importance within classical mechanics and the general theory of dynamical systems is unquestionable. In this work we show that this subject can be included in the schedule of an introductory classical mechanics course without the need to develop a robust ...

The invention of the quantum energy concept according to Planck [PDF]
A hundred years ago, the quantum concept provoked a revolution in science and the search of a new conceptual basis for whole physics, as emphasized by Einstein. In this paper, I discuss the essential features of Planck's works in 1900 on the blackbody radiation and the hypothesis of energy quantization.

An analytically solvable three-body problem [PDF]
The problem of three particles interacting through harmonic forces is discussed within the Newtonian formalism. By means of a didactic approach, an exact analytical solution is found, and ways to extend it to the N-body case are pointed out.

Bulk viscosity and deflationary universes [PDF]
We analyze the conditions that make possible the description of entropy generation in the new inflationary model by means of a nearequilibrium process. We show that there are situations in which the bulk viscosity cannot describe particle production during the coherent field oscillations phase.

Propriétés dynamiques génériques des homéomorphismes conservatifs [PDF]
This memoir is concerned with the generic dynamical properties of conservative homeomorphisms of compact manifolds. Several important techniques allowing to prove genericity results are presented: we emphasize the important role played by periodic approximations of homeomorphisms, and by the embedding of the space of homeomorphisms in the space of bi ...

Application of FCI at engineering students in Bogota: an interpretation of the answers through a random model of two levels [PDF]
We applied the FCI to 646 engineering students from Bogota when they began your first year physics, we found that the relative frequency of the number of correct answers has a random pattern of two levels, also we found that they don't have clear mental models about physical world.

On the Dirac Monopole Mass Scale [PDF]
It is shown, by a semi-classical argument, that the Dirac charge quantization is still valid in the (classical) Born-Infeld electromagnetic theory. Then it is possible to calculate Dirac's monopole mass in the framework of this theory, which is not possible in Maxwell's theory.
