O casamento de Leonor e Frederico III (1451-1452) e as relações entre Portugal e o Sacro Império nos finais da Idade Média by António Martins Costa

“…The development of the historiography of medieval international relations in the last decades has given the pretext to observe the political approximation of those two kingdoms, geographically distant, based on an important royal marriage that has given us a considerable set of primary sources (chronicles, documents and iconography). Initially, we will try to analyze the dynamics of the alliances that have resulted in that matrimonial interest; in a second phase, considering the progress of diplomacy, we will follow the negotiation process between the Crowns; finally, we will observe the different phases of royal marriage (from Portugal to Italy), which foresee a new cycle of relations between the Avis and Habsburg dynasties.…”

Solution of the self-dual Φ4 QFT-model on four-dimensional Moyal space by Harald Grosse, Alexander Hock, Raimar Wulkenhaar

“…It is this dimension drop which for λ > 0 avoids the triviality problem of the matricial Φ 4 4 $$ {\varPhi}_4^4 $$ -model. We also establish the power series approximation of the Fredholm solution to all orders in λ. …”
