1 S ep 1 99 4 Effective Field Theories from QCD ∗
We present a method for extracting effective Lagrangians from QCD. The resulting effective Lagrangians are based on exact rewrites of cutoff QCD in terms of these new collective field degrees of freedom. These cutoff Lagrangians are thus " effective " in the sense that they explicitly contain some of the physical long-distance degrees of freedom from the outset. As an example we discuss the int...

Since our understanding of both general relativity and the standard model of elementary particles either with or without supersymmetry is based on singular La-grangians, whose associated Hamiltonian formalism requires Dirac-Bergmann theory of constraints[1], it is very difficult to identify which are the physical degrees of freedom to be used in the description and interpretation of the fundame...

A review is given of the status and developments of the research program aiming to reformulate the physics of the four interactions at the classical level in a unified way in terms of Dirac-Bergmann observables with special emphasis on the open mathematical, physical and interpretational problems. At the classical level the accepted mathematical description of the four interactions at the basis...

Under weaker condition than that of Riedi & Mandelbrot, the Hausdorff (and Hausdorff-Besicovitch) dimension of infinite self-similar set K ⊂ R which is the invariant compact set of infinite contractive similarities {Sj(x) = ρjRjx + bj}j∈N (0 < ρj < 1, bj ∈ R , Rj orthogonal) satisfying open set condition is obtained. It is proved (under some additional hypotheses) that the β-mean quadratic vari...

In this paper we investigate a hidden consequence of the hypothesis that Lagrangians and field equations must be invariant under active local Lorentz transformations. We show that this hypothesis implies in an equivalence between spacetime structures with several curvature and torsion possibilities.
