vertices are infinitesimally rigid. This is a partial answer to the question
whether every decomposable weakly convex polyhedron is infinitesimally rigid.
The proof uses a recent result of Izmestiev on the geometry of convex caps.

easily explore related work. While citation data is often used as an indicator
of relatedness, in this paper we demonstrate that digital access records (e.g.
http-server logs) can be used as indicators as well. In particular, we show
that measures based on co-access provide better coverage than co-citation, that
they are available much sooner, and that they are more accurate for recent

Vidick | Entangled games are hard to approximate | 26 pages, complete and much improved version with stronger results,
supersedes the results in arXiv:quant-ph/0612063 proved with different
techniques | null | null | null | quant-ph | null | We establish the first hardness results for the problem of computing the
value of one-round games played by a verifier and a team of provers who can
share quantum entanglement. In particular, we show that it is NP-hard to
approximate within an inverse polynomial the value of a one-round game with (i)
quantum verifier and two entangled provers or (ii) classical verifier and three
entangled provers. Previously it was not even known if computing the value
exactly is NP-hard. We also describe a mathematical conjecture, which, if true,
would imply hardness of approximation to within a constant.
We start our proof by describing two ways to modify classical multi-prover
games to make them resistant to entangled provers. We then show that a strategy
for the modified game that uses entanglement can be ``rounded'' to one that
does not. The results then follow from classical inapproximability bounds. Our
work implies that, unless P=NP, the values of entangled-prover games cannot be
computed by semidefinite programs that are polynomial in the size of the
verifier's system, a method that has been successful for more restricted
quantum games.

D | Phys.Rev.D75:125018,2007 | 10.1103/PhysRevD.75.125018 | CSULB-PA-07-2 | hep-th | null | In the conventional formulation of N=1 supersymmetry, a vector multiplet is
supposed to be in the adjoint representation of a given gauge group. We present
a new formulation with a vector multiplet in the non-adjoint representation of
SO(N) gauge group. Our basic algebra is [ T^I, T^J ] = f^{I J K} T^K, [ T^I,
U^i ] = - (T^I)^{i j} U^j, [ U^i, U^j ] = - (T^I)^{i j} T^I, where T^I are the
generators of SO(N), while U^i are the new 'generators' in certain non-adjoint
real representation R of SO(N). We use here the word `generator' in the broader
sense of the word. Such a representation can be any real representation of
SO(N) with the positive definite metric, satisfying (T^I)^{i j} = - (T^I)^{j i}
and (T^I)^{[ i j |} (T^I)^{| k ] l} \equiv 0. The first non-trivial examples
are the spinorial 8_S and conjugate spinorial 8_C representations of SO(8)
consistent with supersymmetry. We further couple the system to chiral
multiplets, and show that a Higgs mechanism can give positive definite (mass)^2
to the new gauge fields for U^i. We show an analogous system working with N=1
supersymmetry in 10D, and thereby N=4 system in 4D interacting with extra
multiplets in the representation R. We also perform superspace reformulation as
an independent confirmation.

magnetosphere can exist for a pulsar with a relatively long period and a strong
magnetic field. In the belts located in the closed field line region near the
light cylinder relativistic pairs are trapped and maintained at a density
substantially higher than the local Goldreich-Julian corotation density. The
trapped plasma can be supplied and replenished by either direct injection of
relativistic pairs from acceleration of externally-supplied particles in a
dormant outer gap or in situ ionization of the accreted neutral material in the
trapping region. The radiation belts can be disrupted by waves that are excited
in the region as the result of plasma instabilities or emitted from the surface
due to starquakes or stellar oscillations. The disruption can cause an
intermittent particle precipitation toward the star producing radio bursts. It
is suggested that such bursts may be seen as rotating radio transients (RRATs).

find the planetary radius to be 1.222 +/- 0.038 R_Jup and the stellar radius to
be 1.003 +/- 0.027 R_Sun. The quoted uncertainties include the systematic error
due to the uncertainty in the stellar mass (0.980 +/- 0.062 M_Sun). The timings
of the transits have an accuracy of 25s and are consistent with a uniform
period, thus providing a baseline for future observations with the NASA Kepler
satellite, whose field of view will include TrES-2.

and baryons: the halo velocity anisotropy | 15 pages, 8 figures, accepted by JCAP. Matches accepted version | JCAP 0706:016,2007 | 10.1088/1475-7516/2007/06/016 | null | astro-ph hep-ph | null | Numerous ongoing experiments aim at detecting WIMP dark matter particles from
the galactic halo directly through WIMP-nucleon interactions. Once such a
detection is established a confirmation of the galactic origin of the signal is
needed. This requires a direction-sensitive detector. We show that such a
detector can measure the velocity anisotropy beta of the galactic halo.
Cosmological N-body simulations predict the dark matter anisotropy to be
nonzero, beta~0.2. Baryonic matter has beta=0 and therefore a detection of a
nonzero beta would be strong proof of the fundamental difference between dark
and baryonic matter. We estimate the sensitivity for various detector
configurations using Monte Carlo methods and we show that the strongest signal
is found in the relatively few high recoil energy events. Measuring beta to the
precision of ~0.03 will require detecting more than 10^4 WIMP events with
nuclear recoil energies greater than 100 keV for a WIMP mass of 100 GeV and a
32S target. This number corresponds to ~10^6 events at all energies. We discuss
variations with respect to input parameters and we show that our method is
robust to the presence of backgrounds and discuss the possible improved
sensitivity for an energy-sensitive detector.

3 figures, 5 supplementary figures | Nature Physics 4, 227 (2008). | 10.1038/nphys855 | null | cond-mat.mes-hall | null | Semiconductor devices continue to press into the nanoscale regime, and new
applications have emerged for which the quantum properties of dopant atoms act
as the functional part of the device, underscoring the necessity to probe the
quantum structure of small numbers of dopant atoms in semiconductors[1-3].
Although dopant properties are well-understood with respect to bulk
semiconductors, new questions arise in nanosystems. For example, the quantum
energy levels of dopants will be affected by the proximity of nanometer-scale
electrodes. Moreover, because shallow donors and acceptors are analogous to
hydrogen atoms, experiments on small numbers of dopants have the potential to
be a testing ground for fundamental questions of atomic and molecular physics,
such as the maximum negative ionization of a molecule with a given number of
positive ions[4,5]. Electron tunneling spectroscopy through isolated dopants
has been observed in transport studies[6,7]. In addition, Geim and coworkers
identified resonances due to two closely spaced donors, effectively forming
donor molecules[8]. Here we present capacitance spectroscopy measurements of
silicon donors in a gallium-arsenide heterostructure using a scanning probe
technique[9,10]. In contrast to the work of Geim et al., our data show
discernible peaks attributed to successive electrons entering the molecules.
Hence this work represents the first addition spectrum measurement of dopant
molecules. More generally, to the best of our knowledge, this study is the
first example of single-electron capacitance spectroscopy performed directly
with a scanning probe tip[9].

Our principal analysis tool is the Blocked-Annealed Metropolis Hasting (BAM)
algorithm, which has been optimized to search for tens of thousands of
overlapping signals across the LISA band. The BAM algorithm employs Bayesian
model selection to determine the number of resolvable sources, and provides
posterior distribution functions for all the model parameters. The BAM
algorithm performed almost flawlessly on all the Round 1 Mock LISA Data
Challenge data sets, including those with many highly overlapping sources. The
only misses were later traced to a coding error that affected high frequency
sources. In addition to the BAM algorithm we also successfully tested a Genetic
Algorithm (GA), but only on data sets with isolated signals as the GA has yet
to be optimized to handle large numbers of overlapping signals.

simulations of jet formation as long as possible, including the dynamics of
accretion disks. Although the previous nonsteady MHD simulations for
astrophysical jets revealed that the characteristics of nonsteady jets are
similar to those of steady jets, the calculation time of these simulations is
very short compared with the time scale of observed jets. Thus we have
investigated long term evolutions of mass accretion rate, mass outflow rate,
jet velocity, and various energy flux. We found that the ejection of jet is
quasi-periodic. The period of the ejection is related to the time needed for
the initial magnetic filed to be twisted to generate toroidal filed. We compare
our results with both the steady state theory and previous 2.5-dimensional
nonsteady MHD simulations.

desired tracking behavior and parameterization of tracking algorithms, and make

the field strength. We show how the survival probability depends on the

(CTTSs). We combine these data with one previous field determination in order
to compare our observed field strengths with the field strengths predicted by
magnetospheric accretion models. We use literature data on the stellar mass,
radius, rotation period, and disk accretion rate to predict the field strength
that should be present on each of our stars according to these magnetospheric
accretion models. We show that our measured field values do not correlate with
the field strengths predicted by simple magnetospheric accretion theory. We
also use our field strength measurements and literature X-ray luminosity data
to test a recent relationship expressing X-ray luminosity as a function of
surface magnetic flux derived from various solar feature and main sequence star
measurements. We find that the T Tauri stars we have observed have weaker than
expected X-ray emission by over an order of magnitude on average using this
relationship. We suggest the cause for this is actually a result of the very
strong fields on these stars which decreases the efficiency with which gas
motions in the photosphere can tangle magnetic flux tubes in the corona.

geometry of fractures of compacted grains materials, a detailed statistical
analysis of the surfaces of fractured Fontainebleau sandstones has been
achieved. The roughness of samples of different widths W is shown to be self
affine with an exponent zeta=0.46 +- 0.05 over a range of length scales ranging
from the grain size d up to an upper cut-off length \xi = 0.15 W. This low zeta
value is in agreement with measurements on other sandstones and on sintered
materials. The probability distributions P(delta z,delta h) of the variations
of height over different distances delta z > d can be collapsed onto a single
Gaussian distribution with a suitable normalisation and do not display
multifractal features. The roughness amplitude, as characterized by the
height-height correlation over fixed distances delta z, does not depend on the
sample width, implying that no anomalous scaling of the type reported for other
materials is present. It is suggested, in agreement with recent theoretical
work, to explain these results by the occurence of brittle fracture (instead of
damage failure in materials displaying a higher value of zeta = 0.8).

optimal DF routes. As the algorithm runs in factorial time in the worst case,
we propose a polynomial time heuristic algorithm that finds an optimal route
with high probability. We demonstrate that that the optimal (and near optimal)
DF routes are good in practice by simulating a distributed DF coding scheme
using low density parity check codes with puncturing and incremental

text overlap with arXiv:0704.2931 | Revue d'Histoire des Math\'ematiques 2, 13 (2008) p. 187-257 | null | null | math.HO | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | During the whole of 1874, Camille Jordan and Leopold Kronecker quar- relled
vigorously over the organisation of the theory of bilinear forms. That theory
promised a "general" and "homogeneous" treatment of numerous questions arising
in various 19th-century theoretical contexts, and it hinged on two theorems,
stated independently by Jordan and Weierstrass, that would today be considered
equivalent. It was, however, the perceived difference between those two
theorems that sparked the 1874 controversy. Focusing on this quarrel allows us
to explore the algebraic identity of the polynomial practices of the
manipulations of forms in use before the advent of structural approaches to
linear algebra. The latter approaches identified these practices with methods
for the classification of similar matrices. We show that the prac- tices --
Jordan's canonical reduction and Kronecker's invariant computation -- reflect
identities inseparable from the social context of the time. Moreover, these
practices reveal not only tacit knowledge, local ways of thinking, but also --
in light of a long history tracing back to the work of Lagrange, Laplace, Cau-
chy, and Hermite -- two internal philosophies regarding the significance of
generality which are inseparable from two disciplinary ideals opposing algebra
and arithmetic. By interrogating the cultural identities of such practices,
this study aims at a deeper understanding of the history of linear algebra
without focusing on issues related to the origins of theories or structures.

in HCN J = 1-0 to study inward motions in the cores. Sixty-four cores were
detected with HCN lines. The infall asymmetry in the HCN spectra is found to be
more prevalent, and more prominent than in any other previously used infall
tracers such as CS J = 2-1, DCO+ J = 2-1, and N2H+ J = 1-0. We found close
relation between the intensities of the HCN and N2H+ lines. This implies that
the HCN is not much depleted in the central regions of the cores. In some
cores, the HCN spectra show different sign of asymmetry from other molecular
lines. A few cores show various signs of asymmetry in individual HCN hyperfine
lines. The distribution of the velocity shift dV of the HCN profiles with
respect to the systemic velocity of the optically thin tracer is found to be
more shifted toward bluer side than those of other infall tracers, indicating
that the HCN traces inward motions more frequently. The dV distribution of each
HCN hyperfine line for all sources is similar. Moreover the dV values obtained
from different HCN hyperfine lines for each source are nearly similar. These
may mean that most of starless cores are in similar kinematic states across the
layers of the cores. We identify 17 infall candidates using all available
indicators such as the velocity shift dV and the blue to red peak intensity
ratio of double peaked profiles for HCN J = 1-0, CS J = 2-1, J = 3-2, DCO+ J =
2-1, and N2H+ J = 1-0. Four of them, L63, L492, L694-2, and L1197 are found to
show higher blue to red ratio in the HCN hyperfine line along the lower
opacity, suggesting that infall speed becomes higher toward the center.

controversy on the theory of bilinear and quadratic forms opposed Camille
Jordan and Leopold Kronecker. The arithmetical ideal of Kronecker faced
Jordan's claim for the simplicity of his algebraic canonical form. As the
controversy combined mathematical and historical arguments, it gave rise to the
writing of a history of the methods used by Lagrange, Laplace and Weierstrass

which extends the manifest $\mr{Spin}(2n)$ symmetry. The Hilbert space of bound
states is shown to form a unitary highest weight $\widetilde{\mr{Spin}}(2,
2n+1)$-module which occurs at the first reduction point in the
Enright-Howe-Wallach classification diagram for the unitary highest weight
modules. As a byproduct, we get a simple geometric realization for such a
unitary highest weight $\widetilde{\mr{Spin}}(2, 2n+1)$-module.

strategies might result in a winning strategy. We show that the CP-map scheme
leads to significantly lower net gain than the quantum walk scheme.

chemical abundance of the parent star of the recently discovered transiting
planet {TrES-2}. A detailed LTE analysis of a set of \ion{Fe}{1} and
\ion{Fe}{2} lines from our Keck spectra yields $T_\mathrm{eff} = 5850\pm 50$ K,
$\log g = 4.4\pm 0.1$, and [Fe/H] $= -0.15\pm 0.10$. Several independent checks
(e.g., additional spectroscopy, line-depth ratios) confirm the reliability of
our spectroscopic $T_\mathrm{eff}$ estimate. The mass and radius of the star,
needed to determine the properties of the planet, are traditionally inferred by
comparison with stellar evolution models using $T_\mathrm{eff}$ and some
measure of the stellar luminosity, such as the spectroscopic surface gravity
(when a trigonometric parallax is unavailable, as in this case). We apply here
a new method in which we use instead of $\log g$ the normalized separation
$a/R_\star$ (related to the stellar density), which can be determined directly
from the light curves of transiting planets with much greater precision. With
the $a/R_\star$ value from the light curve analysis of Holman et al.
\citeyearpar{holman07b} and our $T_\mathrm{eff}$ estimate we obtain $M_\star =
0.980\pm0.062 M_\odot$ and $R_\star = 1.000_{-0.033}^{+0.036} R_\odot$, and an
evolutionary age of $5.1^{+2.7}_{-2.3}$ Gyr, in good agreement with other
constraints based on the strength of the emission in the \ion{Ca}{2} H & K line
cores, the Lithium abundance, and rotation. The new stellar parameters yield
improved values for the planetary mass and radius of $M_p = 1.198 \pm 0.053
M_\mathrm{Jup}$ and $R_p = 1.220^{+0.045}_{-0.042} R_\mathrm{Jup}$, confirming
that {TrES-2} is the most massive among the currently known nearby ($d\lesssim
300$ pc) transiting hot Jupiters. [Abridged]

different ground states, for the one-dimensional quantum Ising model in a
transverse field near the critical point. It is found that, in the
thermodynamic limit, the scaling parameter is singular, and the derivative of
its logarithmic function with respect to the transverse field strength is
logarithmically divergent at the critical point. The scaling behavior is
confirmed numerically by performing a finite size scaling analysis for systems
of different sizes, consistent with the conformal invariance at the critical
point. This allows us to extract the correlation length critical exponent,
which turns out to be universal in the sense that the correlation length
critical exponent does not depend on either the anisotropic parameter or the
transverse field strength.

figures | Astrophys.J.664:322-331,2007 | 10.1086/519076 | null | astro-ph | null | We present the results of our investigation of the intermediate-age star
cluster BS 90, located in the vicinity of the HII region N 66 in the SMC,
observed with HST/ACS. The high-resolution data provide a unique opportunity
for a very detailed photometric study performed on one of the rare
intermediate-age rich SMC clusters. The complete set of observations is
centered on the association NGC 346 and contains almost 100,000 stars down to V
~28 mag. In this study we focus on the northern part of the region, which
covers almost the whole stellar content of BS 90. We construct its stellar
surface density profile and derive structural parameters. Isochrone fits on the
CMD of the cluster results in an age of about 4.5 Gyr. The luminosity function
is constructed and the present-day mass function of BS 90 has been obtained
using the mass-luminosity relation, derived from the isochrone models. We found
a slope between -1.30 and -0.95, comparable or somewhat shallower than a
typical Salpeter IMF. Examination of the radial dependence of the mass function
shows a steeper slope at larger radial distances, indicating mass segregation
in the cluster. The derived half-mass relaxation time of 0.95 Gyr suggests that
the cluster is mass segregated due to its dynamical evolution. From the
isochrone model fits we derive a metallicity for BS 90 of [Fe/H]=-0.72, which
adds an important point to the age-metallicity relation of the SMC. We discuss
our findings on this relation in comparison to other SMC clusters.

turbulent transport in accretion disks. However, some important issues still
need to be addressed to quantify the role of MRI in disks; in particular no
systematic investigation of the role of the physical dimensionless parameters
of the problem on the dimensionless transport has been undertaken yet. First,
we complete existing investigations on the field strength dependence by showing
that the transport in high magnetic pressure disks close to marginal stability
is highly time-dependent and surprisingly efficient. Second, we bring to light
a significant dependence of the global transport on the magnetic Prandtl
number, with $\alpha\propto Pm^\delta$ for the explored range: $0.12<Pm<8$ and
$200<Re<6400$ ($\delta$ being in the range 0.25 to 0.5). We show that the
dimensionless transport is not correlated to the dimensionless linear growth
rate, contrarily to a largely held expectation. More generally, these results
stress the need to control dissipation processes in astrophysical simulations.

thus, neutrinos obey at least partly the Bose-Einstein statistics. The
parameter sin^2 chi is introduced that characterizes the bosonic (symmetric)
fraction of the neutrino wave function. Consequences of the violation of the
exclusion principle for the two-neutrino double beta decays are considered.
This violation strongly changes the rates of the decays and modifies the energy
and angular distributions of the emitted electrons. Pure bosonic neutrinos are
excluded by the present data. In the case of partly bosonic (or
mixed-statistics) neutrinos the analysis of the existing data allows to put the
conservative upper bound sin^2 chi < 0.6. The sensitivity of future
measurements of the two-neutrino double beta decay to sin^2 chi is evaluated.

Sun converted into photons with energies up to around 10 keV via the inverse
Primakoff effect in the high magnetic field of a superconducting Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) prototype magnet. A backside illuminated pn-CCD detector in
conjunction with an X-ray mirror optics is one of the three detectors used in
CAST to register the expected photon signal. Since this signal is very rare and
different background components (environmental gamma radiation, cosmic rays,
intrinsic radioactive impurities in the set-up, ...) entangle it, a detailed
study of the detector background has been undertaken with the aim to understand
and further reduce the background level of the detector. The analysis is based
on measured data taken during the Phase I of CAST and on Monte Carlo
simulations of different background components. This study will show that the
observed background level (at a rate of (8.00+-0.07)10^-5 counts/cm^2/s/keV
between 1 and 7 keV) seems to be dominated by the external gamma background due
to usual activities at the experimental site, while radioactive impurities in
the detector itself and cosmic neutrons could make just smaller contribution.

distinguish between dark energy and modified gravity models for the origin of
the cosmic acceleration. Dynamical dark energy models may have similar
expansion rates as models of modified gravity, yet predict different growth of
structure histories. We parameterize the cosmic expansion by the two
parameters, $w_0$ and $w_a$, and the linear growth rate of density fluctuations
by Linder's $\gamma$, independently. Dark energy models generically predict
$\gamma \approx 0.55$, while the DGP model $\gamma \approx 0.68$. To determine
if future imaging surveys can constrain $\gamma$ within 20 percent (or
$\Delta\gamma<0.1$), we perform the Fisher matrix analysis for a weak lensing
survey such as the on-going Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) project. Under the
condition that the total observation time is fixed, we compute the Figure of
Merit (FoM) as a function of the exposure time $\texp$. We find that the
tomography technique effectively improves the FoM, which has a broad peak
around $\texp\simeq {\rm several}\sim 10$ minutes; a shallow and wide survey is
preferred to constrain the $\gamma$ parameter. While $\Delta\gamma < 0.1$
cannot be achieved by the HSC weak-lensing survey alone, one can improve the
constraints by combining with a follow-up spectroscopic survey like WFMOS
and/or future CMB observations.

is controlled by two tunable parameters. We derive exactly the main
characteristics of the networks, which are partially determined by the
parameters. Analytical results indicate that the resulting networks have
power-law distributions of degree, strength, weight and betweenness, a
scale-free behavior for degree correlations, logarithmic small average path
length and diameter with network size. The obtained properties are in agreement
with empirical data observed in many real-life networks, which shows that the
presented model may provide valuable insight into the real systems.

linear optical elements and Gaussian measurements, which allows to clone at
will one of the two incoming input states. This machine is a complete
generalization of a 1 to 2 cloning scheme demonstrated by U. L. Andersen et al.
[Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 94, 240503 (2005)]. The input-output fidelity is studied
for generic Gaussian input state and the effect of non-unit quantum efficiency
is also taken into account. We show that if the states to be cloned are
squeezed states with known squeezing parameter, then the fidelity can be
enhanced using a third suitable squeezed state during the final stage of the
cloning process. A binary communication protocol based on the selective cloning
machne is also discussed.

dynamic approach. The transmission shows weak dependence on frequency for the
lattice wave with a fixed angle of incidence. The dependence on azimuth angle
is found to be related to the symmetry of the boundary interface. The
transmission varies smoothly with the change of the incident angle. A critical
angle of incidence exists when the phonon is incident from the side with large
group velocities to the side with low ones. No significant mode conversion is
observed among different acoustic wave branches at the interface, except when
the incident angle is near the critical value. Our theoretical result of the
Kapitza conductance $G_{K}$ across the Si-Ge (100) interface at temperature
$T=200 $K is $4.6\times10^{8} {\rm WK}^{-1}{\rmm}^{-2}$. A scaling law $G_K
\propto T^{2.87}$ at low temperature is also reported. Based on the features of
transmission obtained within lattice dynamic approach, we propose a simplified
formula for thermal conductanceacross the epitaxial interface. A reasonable
consistency is found between the calculated values and the experimentally
measured ones.

the aggregate behavior of socio-economic systems. One such domain is the
emergence of statistical regularities in the evolution of collective choice
from individual behavior. This is manifested in the sudden emergence of
popularity or "success" of certain ideas or products, compared to their
numerous, often very similar, competitors. In this paper, we present an
empirical study of a wide range of popularity distributions, spanning from
scientific paper citations to movie gross income. Our results show that in the
majority of cases, the distribution follows a log-normal form, suggesting that
multiplicative stochastic processes are the basis for emergence of popular
entities. This suggests the existence of some general principles of complex
organization leading to the emergence of popularity. We discuss the theoretical
principles needed to explain this socio-economic phenomenon, and present a
model for collective behavior that exhibits bimodality, which has been observed
in certain empirical popularity distributions.

theories at low energy can in fact be regarded as field theories of higher
dimensions confined on a 4D spcaetime. We examine this idea through comparing
two different regularization schemes: Momentum Cutoff and Dimensional

insulator is driven by the energy gain in promoting fermions from valance band
to various conducting bands to form Cooper pairs. We show that the transition
must take place in rather shallow lattice height, $V_{o}/E_{R}$ between 2.23
and 4.14. The latter is the prediction of mean field theory while the former is
the value for opening a band gap. As one moves across resonance to the molecule
side, the SF-BI transition evolves into the SF-Mott insulator transition of
bosonic molecules. We shall also present the global phase diagram for
SF-Insulator transition for the BCS-BEC family.

transfer code with an accretion model that considers magnetic fields
extrapolated from surface magnetograms obtained from Zeeman-Doppler imaging.
Such fields consist of compact magnetic regions close to the stellar surface,
with extended field lines interacting with the disc. We study the propagation
of coronal X-rays through the magnetosphere and demonstrate that they are
strongly absorbed by the dense gas in accretion columns. The reduction in the
observed X-ray emission depends on the field geometry, which may explain why
accreting T Tauri stars show a larger scatter in their observed X-ray
luminosity compared to non-accreting stars.

Hermitian but are symmetric under space-time reflection, that is, Hamiltonians
that exhibit PT symmetry. Investigations of the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue
problem associated with such Hamiltonians have shown that in many cases the
entire energy spectrum is real and positive and that the eigenfunctions form an
orthogonal and complete basis. Furthermore, the quantum theories determined by
such Hamiltonians have been shown to be consistent in the sense that the
probabilities are positive and the dynamical trajectories are unitary. However,
the geometrical structures that underlie quantum theories formulated in terms
of such Hamiltonians have hitherto not been fully understood. This paper
studies in detail the geometric properties of a Hilbert space endowed with a
parity structure and analyses the characteristics of a PT-symmetric Hamiltonian
and its eigenstates. A canonical relationship between a PT-symmetric operator
and a Hermitian operator is established. It is shown that the quadratic form
corresponding to the parity operator, in particular, gives rise to a natural
partition of the Hilbert space into two halves corresponding to states having
positive and negative PT norm. The indefiniteness of the norm can be
circumvented by introducing a symmetry operator C that defines a positive
definite inner product by means of a CPT conjugation operation.

Accepted for publication in ApJ Letters | null | 10.1086/518959 | null | astro-ph | null | We present the first result of the Ital-FLAMES survey of red giant branch
(RGB) stars in omega Cen. Radial velocities with a precision of ~0.5 km/s are
presented for 650 members of omega Cen observed with FLAMES-Giraffe at the Very
Large Telescope. We found that stars belonging to the metal -poor (RGB-MP),
metal-intemediate (RGB-MInt) and metal-rich (RGB-a) sub -populations of Omega
Cen are all compatible with having the same rotational pattern. Our results
appear to contradict past findings by Norris et al., who could not detect any
rotational signature for metal -rich stars. The slightly higher precision of
the present measurements and the much larger sample size, especially for the
metal-richer stars, appear as the most likely explanation for this discrepancy.
The result presented here weakens the body of evidence in favour of a merger
event in the past history of omega Cen.

Compared to citation information, access logs have the advantage of being
immediately available, without manual or automatic extraction of the citation

can serve as a replacement for explicit meta-data, which potentially might be
expensive or completely unavailable. Therefore, we compare access, content, and
citation-based measures of relatedness on different recommendation tasks. As a
final result, an online recommendation system has been built that can help

strong impurity scattering, near the unitary limit, the formation of a band of

temperature. For higher temperatures, there are strong deviations due to the
linear density of states. The low-temperature thermopower is proportional to
the inverse of the impurity potential and the inverse of the impurity density.
Information about impurity scattering in graphene can be extracted from the
thermopower, either measured directly, or extracted via Mott's relation from

accretion rate AGN can be well modelled by reflection from a partially ionised
accretion disc. However, the derived parameters are often extreme, both in
terms of the underlying spacetime and the reflection geometry, and these models
require that the disc is far from hydrostatic equilibrium. An alternative model
uses similarly partially ionised, velocity smeared material but seen in
absorption, though again the derived velocities are extreme, requiring magnetic
driving (in the jet?) rather than a simple line driven disc wind. We find that
while both models give comparably good fits to XMM--Newton data, we favour the
absorption model as, unlike reflection, all the derived spectral indices are
soft. This is as expected by analogy with the correspondingly high mass
accretion rate stellar mass black holes. Furthermore, these X-ray spectra are
consistent with a one--to--one mapping between AGN type and spectral state,
with NLS1's having softer spectra corresponding to the very high state, while
the broad line AGN have Gamma~2 as expected for the high/soft state. We also
use the simultaneous OM data to derive the ratio of disc to total accretion
power which is another tracer of spectral state in X-ray binaries. This does
not always show that the disc in NLS1's contributes less than 80 per cent of
the total power, as expected for a very high state. We suggest that this is an
artifact of the standard disc models used to determine the disc luminosity in
our fits. The disc seen in the very high state of black hole binaries is often
observed to be distorted from the standard shape, and a similar effect in
NLS1's could recover the correspondance between black hole binary spectral
state and AGN type.

sources that are selected to have 0.5-2 keV vs 2-4.5 keV X-ray hardness ratios
which are harder than the X-ray background. The sources have 2-4.5 keV X-ray
flux >= 10^-14 cgs, and in this paper we examine a subsample of 42 optically
bright (r < 21) sources; this subsample is 100 per cent spectroscopically
identified. All but one of the optical counterparts are extragalactic, and we
argue that the single exception, a Galactic M star, is probably a coincidental
association. The X-ray spectra are consistent with heavily absorbed power laws
(21.8 < log NH < 23.4), and all of them appear to be absorbed AGN. The majority
of the sources show only narrow emission lines in their optical spectra,
implying that they are type-2 AGN. Only a small fraction of the sources (7/42)
show broad optical emission lines, and all of these have NH < 10^23 cm^-2. This
implies that ratios of X-ray absorption to optical/UV extinction equivalent to
> 100 times the Galactic gas-to-dust ratio are rare in AGN absorbers (at most a
few percent of the population), and may be restricted to broad absorption-line
QSOs. Seven objects appear to have an additional soft X-ray component in
addition to the heavily absorbed power law. We consider the implications of our
results in the light of the AGN unified scheme. We find that the soft
components in narrow-line objects are consistent with the unified scheme
provided that > 4 per cent of broad-line AGN have ionised absorbers that
attenuate their soft X-ray flux by >50 per cent. In at least one of the X-ray
absorbed, broad-line AGN in our sample the X-ray spectrum requires an ionised
absorber, consistent with this picture.

Initially, in the metallic phase, the electrons and holes are assumed to be
moving in the opposite directions, so as the electric current exists. This
state is supported by an external condition (the specimen is in an electric
circuit with the current). When the temperature decreases, the transition to
the ordering state due to formation of the electron--hole pairs is possible
(similar to the ordinary state of the excitonic insulator). The properties of
the state at zero temperature are investigated. The spectrum of elementary
excitations has a gap, and so the conclusion can be made that obtained state is
superconducting one. Thus, depending on the external conditions, excitonic
insulator behaves itself like the insulator or superconductor. That is correct
in the limit of strong overlapping of the electron--hole pairs.

semiconductor quantum dot and subject to spin-orbit coupling. Even in vanishing
magnetic field, B = 0, slow noise coupling to the electron's orbital degree of
freedom leads to dephasing of the spin due to a random, in general non-Abelian
Berry phase acquired by the spin. For illustration we first present a simple
quasiclassical description, then consider a model with 2 orbital states only,
and finally present a perturbative quantum treatment appropriate for an
electron in a realistic (roughly parabolic, not too strongly confining) quantum
dot. We further compare the effect of different sources of noise. While at
large magnetic fields phonons dominate the relaxation processes, at low fields
electron-hole excitations and possibly 1/f noise may dominate.

is discussed within the framework of a simple model (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 97},
076806 (2006)). It is shown that, in the Kondo regime and by varying the
adequate model parameters, it is possible to produce a crossover from a
conductance Kondo peak (CoPc) to a conductance Fano dip (TBrPP-Co). In the case
of TBrPP-Co/Cu(111) we show that the model reproduces the changes in the shape
of the Fano dip, the raising of the Kondo temperature and shifting to higher
energies of the dip minimum when the number of nearest neighbors molecules is
lowered. These features are in line with experimental observations indicating
that our simple model contains the essential physics underlying the transport
properties of such complex molecules.

understanding of high-mass star formation. Due to their exclusive association
with star formation, methanol masers are the best tools to do this, and their
large number allows to probe the entire Galaxy. In particular I will focus on
the determination of the luminosity function of methanol masers and on the
determination of an unambiguous signature for a circumstellar masing disc seen
edge-on. Finally I will try to point out some future fields of research in the
study of methanol masers.

electronic properties of BaFeO3 (BFO) within the density functional theory
(DFT). Adopting generalized gradient approximation (GGA) exchange and
correlation functional and Vosko-Wilk-Nusair correlation energy functional
interpolation, we have systematically conducted the band structure, density of
states and electronic distribution along different crystalline planes.
Calculating results show that band gap in the majority spin band structure and
band gap in the minority spin band structure were found to be 2.7012 eV and
0.6867 eV respectively. Up-spin Fe t2g were fully occupied and down-spin Fe eg
were empty. Moreover, the up-spin Fe eg and down-spin Fe t2g were partially
occupied near the Fermi energy, leading to a finite density of states. The
Fe4+-O-Fe4+ plane superexchange coupling should rearrange the magnetic order to
make the ferromagnetic characteristic being possible, moreover the tetragonal
displacement along the c axis could induce the perovskites materials to acquire
ferroelectric property. These reasons could lead to the fact that the
tetragonal phase BFO could be a potential multiferroics while it was produced
under the very experimental conditions. The charge density along different
crystalline planes were illustrated to show that strong covalent bonding
between O and Fe can be used to investigate the exchange coupling, and this
strong hybridization may further increase the superexchange coupling to enhance
the magnetic ordering.

functionals for the ever more precise description of many-body effects on

ingredients in the construction of improved functionals. Here we investigate
one such universal property of xc functionals: the Lieb-Oxford lower bound on
the exchange-correlation energy, $E_{xc}[n] \ge -C \int d^3r n^{4/3}$, where
$C\leq C_{LO}=1.68$. To this end, we perform a survey of available exact or
near-exact data on xc energies of atoms, ions, molecules, solids, and some
model Hamiltonians (the electron liquid, Hooke's atom and the Hubbard model).
All physically realistic density distributions investigated are consistent with
the tighter limit $C \leq 1$. For large classes of systems one can obtain
class-specific (but not fully universal) similar bounds. The Lieb-Oxford bound
with $C_{LO}=1.68$ is a key ingredient in the construction of modern xc
functionals, and a substantial change in the prefactor $C$ will have
consequences for the performance of these functionals.

would serve as a building block of quantum hidden subgroup algorithms over

reduction to solving systems of certain random disequations in finite abelian
groups. The random disequations are actually generalizations of linear
functions distributed nearly uniformly over those not containing a specific
group element in the kernel. In this paper we give an algorithm which finds the
solutions of a system of N random linear disequations in an abelian p-group A
in time polynomial in N, where N=(log|A|)^{O(q)}, and q is the exponent of A.

First, we introduce the notion of Lichnerowicz-twisted Poisson cohomology for
twisted Poisson manifolds and we use it in order to characterize their
prequantization bundles and to establish their prequantization condition. Next,
we introduce a polarization and we discuss the quantization problem. In each
step, several examples are presented.

lock-in amplifier that is a simple but effective method to recover small ac
signal from noise with high presison. The fundamentals of this method are based
on calculation of cross-correlation function. Via this method, we successfully
built up a magnetoelectric measurement system which can perform precise and
versatile measurements without any analog lock-in amplifier. Using the virtual
multi-channel lock-in amplifier, the output of the magnetoelectric measurement
system is extensively rich in magnetoelectric coupling behaviors, including
coupling strength and phase lag, under various dc bias magnetic field and ac
magnetic field.

Astrodynamical Space Test of Relativity using Optical Devices) and ASTROD,
together with astrometry missions like GAIA and LATOR will be able to test
relativistic gravity to an unprecedented level of accuracy. More precisely,
these missions will enable us to test relativistic gravity to
$10^{-7}-10^{-9}$, and will require 2nd post-Newtonian approximation of
relevant theories of gravity. The first post-Newtonian approximation is valid
to $10^{-6}$ and the second post-Newtonian is valid to $10^{-12}$ in the solar
system. The scalar-tensor theory is widely discussed and used in tests of
relativistic gravity, especially after the interests in inflation, cosmological
constant and dark energy in cosmology. In the Lagrangian, intermediate-range
gravity term has a similar form as cosmological term. Here we present the full
second post-Newtonian approximation of the scalar-tensor theory including
viable examples of intermediate-range gravity. We use Chandrasekhar's approach
to derive the metric coefficients and the equation of the hydrodynamics
governing a perfect fluid in the 2nd post-Newtonian approximation in
scalar-tensor theory; all terms inclusive of $O(c^{-4})$ are retained
consistently in the equation of motion.

based on <J-H> and <H-K> colour excess maps from 2MASS. This 8001 square degree
map with a resolution of 4 arcminutes is provided as online material. The
colour excess ratio <J-H> / <H-K> is used to determine the power law index of
the reddening law (\beta) for individual regions contained in the area (e.g.
Orion, Perseus, Taurus, Auriga, Monoceros, Camelopardalis, Cassiopeia). On
average we find a dominant value of \beta=1.8+-0.2 for the individual clouds,
in agreement with the canonical value for the interstellar medium. We also show
that there is an internal scatter of \beta values in these regions, and that in
some areas more than one dominant \beta value is present. This indicates large
scale variations in the dust properties. The analysis of the A_V values within
individual regions shows a change in the slope of the column density
distribution with distance. This can either be attributed to a change in the
governing physical processes in molecular clouds on spatial scales of about 1pc
or an A_V dilution with distance in our map.

an isolated singularity of a germ of an holomorphic function. It is a very
simple ''abstract algebraic structure'', but very rich, whose prototype is the
formal completion of the Brieskorn-module of an isolated singularity. The aim
of this article is to prove a very basic theorem on regular (a,b)-modules
showing that a given regular (a,b)-module is completely characterized by some
''finite order jet'' of its structure. Moreover a very simple bound for such a
sufficient order is given in term of the rank and of two very simple invariants
: the regularity order which count the number of times you need to apply \
$b^{-1}.a \simeq \partial_z.z$ in order to reach a simple pole (a,b)-module.
The second invariant is the ''width'' which corresponds, in the simple pole
case, to the maximal integral difference between to eigenvalues of $b^{-1}.a$
(the logarithm of the monodromy). In the computation of examples this theorem
is quite helpfull because it tells you at which power of $b$ in the expansions
you may stop without loosing any information.

Planetesimal Bombardment | Accepted for publication by Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical
Society | Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc.378:1418-1426,2007 | 10.1111/j.1365-2966.2007.11884.x | null | astro-ph | null | The photospheres of stars hosting planets have larger metallicity than stars
lacking planets. In the present work we study the possibility of an earlier
metal enrichment of the photospheres by means of impacting planetesimals during
the first 20-30Myr. Here we explore this contamination process by simulating
the interactions of an inward migrating planet with a disc of planetesimal
interior to its orbit. The results show the percentage of planetesimals that
fall on the star. We identified the dependence of the planet's eccentricity
($e_p$) and time scale of migration ($\tau$) on the rate of infalling
planetesimals. For very fast migrations ($\tau=10^2$yr and $\tau=10^3$yr) there
is no capture in mean motion resonances, independently of the value of $e_p$.
Then, due to the planet's migration the planetesimals suffer close approaches
with the planet and more than 80% of them are ejected from the system. For slow
migrations ($\tau=10^5$yr and $\tau=10^6$yr) the percentage of collisions with
the planet decrease with the increase of the planet's eccentricity. For $e_p=0$
and $e_p=0.1$ most of the planetesimals were captured in the 2:1 resonance and
more than 65% of them collided with the star. Whereas migration of a Jupiter
mass planet to very short pericentric distances requires unrealistic high disc
masses, these requirements are much smaller for smaller migrating planets. Our
simulations for a slowly migrating 0.1 $M_{\rm Jupiter}$ planet, even demanding
a possible primitive disc three times more massive than a primitive solar
nebula, produces maximum [Fe/H] enrichments of the order of 0.18 dex. These
calculations open possibilities to explain hot Jupiters exoplanets
metallicities.

universe added 20th July 2010 | null | null | null | physics.gen-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | In this paper, it is shown that the cosmological model that was introduced in
a sequence of three earlier papers under the title, A Dust Universe Solution to
the Dark Energy Problem, can be used to resolve the problem of the great
mismatch of numerical values between dark energy from cosmology and zero point
energy from quantum theory. It is shown that, if the zero point energies for
the cosmic microwave background and for all the rest of the universe that is
not cosmic microwave background are introduced into this model as two entities,
their separate values appear within this theory in the form of a numerical
difference. It is this difference that gives the numerical value for the zero
point value of Einstein's dark energy density. Consequently, although the two
zero point energies may be large, their difference can give the known small
dark energy value from cosmology for dark energy density. Issues relating to
interpretation, calculation and measurement associated with this result and an
interpretation of dark energy as a measure of polarisation of the vacuum are
discussed. In the first appendix to this paper, problems associated with the
standard model of cosmology are solved by redefining temperature in the dust
universe model. In the second appendix of this paper, an examination of the
dark matter problem in relation to a general relativistic generalisation of
Newton's inverse square law is undertaken. In the third appendix to this paper,
the formalism is used to derive a formula that gives a possible value for the
mass of the universe in terms of Newton's gravitation constant, Einstein's
Lambda and the velocity of light. All three appendices have their own detailed
abstracts.

searches, yet predictions for them are subject to much larger uncertainties
than for light jets. This is because of strong enhancements in higher orders
from large logarithms, ln(p_t/m_Q). We propose a new definition of heavy-quark
jets, which is free of final-state logarithms to all orders and such that all
initial-state collinear logarithms can be resummed into the heavy-quark parton
distributions. Heavy-jet spectra can then be calculated in the massless
approximation, which is simpler than a massive calculation and reduces the
theoretical uncertainties by a factor of three. This provides the first ever
accurate predictions for inclusive b- and c-jets, and the latter have
significant discriminatory power for the intrinsic charm content of the proton.
The techniques introduced here could be used to obtain heavy-flavour jet
results from existing massless next-to-leading order calculations for a wide
range of processes. We also discuss the experimental applicability of our
flavoured jet definition.

reaction $\bar\nu_e+p\to e^++n$ provides neutrino directional information as
demonstrated by the CHOOZ reactor experiment with 2,500 events. The near
detector of the forthcoming Double Chooz experiment will collect
$1.6\times10^5$ events per year, enough to determine the average neutrino
direction with a $1 \sigma$ half-cone aperture of $2.3^\circ$ in one year. It
is more difficult to separate the two Chooz reactors that are viewed at a
separation angle $\phi=30^\circ$. If their strengths are known and
approximately equal, the azimuthal location of each reactor is obtained with
$\pm6^\circ$ ($1 \sigma$) and the probability of confusing them with a single
source is less than 11%. Five year's data reduce this ``confusion probability''
to less than 0.3%, i.e., a $3 \sigma$ separation is possible. All of these
numbers improve rapidly with increasing angular separation of the sources. For
a setup with $\phi=90^\circ$ and one year's data, the azimuthal $1 \sigma$
uncertainty for each source decreases to $\pm3.2^\circ$. Of course, for Double
Chooz the two reactor locations are known, allowing one instead to measure
their individual one-year integrated power output to $\pm11%$ ($1 \sigma$), and
their five-year integrated output to $\pm4.8%$ ($1 \sigma$).
