Cyborg Systems as Platforms for Computer-Vision Algorithm-Development for Astrobiology (2004)
McGuire, Patrick C., Rodriguez-Manfredi, J. A., Sebastian-Martinez, E., Gomez-Elvira, J., Diaz-Martinez, E., Ormo, J., ...
Employing the allegorical imagery from the film "The Matrix", we motivate and discuss our `Cyborg Astrobiologist' research program. In this research program, we are using a wearable computer and...
Dominguez, A., Hochberg, D., Martin-Garcia, J.M., Perez-Mercader, J., Schulman, L.S.
We show how the interplay of non–linear dynamics, self–gravity, and fluctuations leads to self–affine behavior of matter density correlations quite generically, i.e., with a power law exponent...

Casimir effect in dielectrics: Bulk Energy Contribution (1997)
Carlson, C. E., Molina-Paris, C., Perez-Mercader, J., Visser, Matt
In a recent series of papers, Schwinger discussed a process that he called the Dynamical Casimir Effect. The key essence of this effect is the change in zero-point energy associated with any change...
G., J. F. Barbero, Dominguez, A., Goldman, T., Perez-Mercader, J.
As is well known, structure formation in the Universe at times after decoupling can be described by hydrodynamic equations. These are shown here to be equivalent to a generalization of the stochastic...
Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis as a Probe of the Geometry of Superspace (1994)
Llorente, A., Perez-Mercader, J.
We study the effect from a general ultralocal supermetric on primordial nucleosynthesis for Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Cosmology. The parameter $\lambda$ of the supermetric changes the effective...
Gamma Ray Bursts, Neutron Star Quakes, and the Casimir Effect (1994)
Carlson, C., Goldman, T., Perez-Mercader, J.
We propose that the dynamic Casimir effect is a mechanism that converts the energy of neutron starquakes into $\gamma$--rays. This mechanism efficiently produces photons from electromagnetic Casimir...

We define an entropy for a quantum field theory by combining quantum fluctuations, scaling and the maximum entropy concept. This entropy has different behavior in asymptotically free and...
Quark Flavors as Entropy Ordered States of QCD (1993)
We discuss a natural notion of entropy in quantum field theory and apply it to asymptotically free theories in their perturbative regimes. We then specialize to QCD and find that quark flavor states...
Influence of Light and Heavy Thresholds on SUSY Unification (1993)
Bastero-Gil, M., Perez-Mercader, J.
In this paper we study and compare susy unification using two different approaches in order to take into account the effect of light particle thresholds on the evolution of gauge couplings: the...
Randomness and Irreversibility in Quantum Field Theory (1993)
Quantum fluctuations, through quantum corrections, have the potential to lead to irreversibility in quantum field theory. We consider the virtual ``charge" distribution generated by quantum...
Quantum Fluctuations and Irreversibility (1993)
We study how the effects of quantum corrections lead to notions of irreversibility and clustering in quantum field theory. In particular, we consider the virtual ``charge" distribution generated by...
