Previous approaches to the photo- and electro-production of strangeness off the proton, based upon effective hadronic Lagrangians, are extended here to incorporate the so called off-shell effects inherent to the fermions with spin >= 3/2. A formalism for intermediate-state, spin 3/2, nucleonic and hyperonic resonances is presented and applied to the processes $\gamma + p ---> K^{+} + \Lambda$, for $E_{\gamma}^{lab}$ <= 2.5 GeV, $e + p ---> e' + K^+ + \Lambda$, as well as the branching ratio for the crossed channel reaction $K^- + p ---> \gamma + \Lambda$, with stopped kaons. The sensitivity, from moderate to significant, of various observables to such effects are discussed.Comment: 38 pages in LaTeX2e-RevTeX + 8 postscript figure

The present paper deals with the classical trajectories for two super-integrable systems : a system known in quantum chemistry as the Hartmann system and a system of potential use in quantum chemistry and nuclear physics. Both systems correspond to ringshaped potentials. They admit two maximally super-integrable systems as limiting cases, viz, the isotropic harmonic oscillator system and the Coulomb-Kepler system in three dimensions. The planarity of the trajectories is studied in a systematic way. In general, the trajectories are quasi-periodic rather than periodic. A constraint condition allows to pass from quasi-periodic motions to periodic ones. When written in a quantum mechanical context, this constraint condition leads to new accidental degeneracies for the two systems studied.2
