equations | Submitted for publication (March 2007) | Electronic Journal of Probability, Vol.15 (2010), n.22, 684-709 | null | null | math.PR | null | We study here a heat-type differential equation of order n greater than two,
in the case where the time-derivative is supposed to be fractional. The
corresponding solution can be described as the transition function of a
pseudoprocess (coinciding with the one governed by the standard,
non-fractional, equation) with a time argument T which is itself random. The
distribution of T is presented together with some features of the solution
(such as analytic expressions for its moments).

bosonic Moyal product in the fermionic sector. The fermionic star product is
then the Clifford product of geometric algebra and it is possible to formulate
the fermionic star product formalism in analogy to the bosonic star product
formalism. For the fermionic star product description of spin, one can then
establish the relation to other approaches that describe spin with fermionic
variables, i.e. the operator formalism and the path integral formalism. It is
shown that the fermionic star product formalism and the fermionic path integral
formalism are related in analogy to their bosonic counterparts.

fragmentation trees. Specifically, we consider a coarse and a fine spinal
integer partition derived from spinal tree decompositions. We prove that for a
two-parameter Poisson--Dirichlet family of continuous fragmentation trees,
including the stable trees of Duquesne and Le Gall, the fine partition is
obtained from the coarse one by shattering each of its parts independently,
according to the same law. As a second application of spinal decompositions, we
prove that among the continuous fragmentation trees, stable trees are the only
ones whose distribution is invariant under uniform re-rooting.

to singular solutions of the Vlasov equation. The paper focuses on singular

calculate the number of fermions transfered to the antikink and boundary in

which we live, this models the ability of fermions on branes incoming from the
bulk to ``stick'' on the world brane, even when the incoming branes bounce back

a Fermi modular net and give a formula involving the Fredholm index of the

with the super-Virasoro algebra and discuss its structure. If the central
charge c belongs to the discrete series, this net is modular by the work of F.
Xu and we get an example where our setting is verified by considering the
Ramond irreducible representation with lowest weight c/24. We classify all the

(29/03/2006) p. 94-110 | 10.1007/11690634_7 | null | cs.LO | null | We define a new decidable logic for expressing and checking invariants of
programs that manipulate dynamically-allocated objects via pointers and
destructive pointer updates. The main feature of this logic is the ability to
limit the neighborhood of a node that is reachable via a regular expression
from a designated node. The logic is closed under boolean operations
(entailment, negation) and has a finite model property. The key technical
result is the proof of decidability. We show how to express precondition,
postconditions, and loop invariants for some interesting programs. It is also
possible to express properties such as disjointness of data-structures, and
low-level heap mutations. Moreover, our logic can express properties of
arbitrary data-structures and of an arbitrary number of pointer fields. The
latter provides a way to naturally specify postconditions that relate the
fields on entry to a procedure to the fields on exit. Therefore, it is possible
to use the logic to automatically prove partial correctness of programs
performing low-level heap mutations.

X-ray binaries (NSXBs) in outburst is traditionally thought to be thermal
emission from the accretion disc. Here we present a comprehensive collection of
quasi-simultaneous OIR and X-ray data from 19 low-magnetic field NSXBs,
including new observations of three sources: 4U 0614+09, LMC X-2 and GX 349+2.
The average radio-OIR spectrum for NSXBs is alpha ~ +0.2 (where L_nu propto
nu^alpha) at least at high luminosities when the radio jet is detected. This is
comparable to, but slightly more inverted than the alpha ~ 0.0 found for black
hole X-ray binaries. The OIR spectra and relations between OIR and X-ray fluxes
are compared to those expected if the OIR emission is dominated by thermal
emission from an X-ray or viscously heated disc, or synchrotron emission from
the inner regions of the jets. We find that thermal emission due to X-ray
reprocessing can explain all the data except at high luminosities for some
NSXBs, namely the atolls and millisecond X-ray pulsars (MSXPs). Optically thin
synchrotron emission from the jets (with an observed OIR spectral index of
alpha_thin < 0) dominate the NIR light above L_x ~ 10^36 erg/s and the optical
above L_x ~ 10^37 erg/s in these systems. For NSXB Z-sources, the OIR
observations can be explained by X-ray reprocessing alone, although synchrotron
emission may make a low level contribution to the NIR, and could dominate the
OIR in one or two cases.

at low Reynolds number. By considering simple model swimmers, and combining
analytic and numerical approaches, we investigate the time-averaged flow field
around a swimmer. At short distances the swimmer behaves like a pump. At large
distances the velocity field depends on whether the swimming stroke is
invariant under a combined time-reversal and parity transformation. We then
consider two swimmers and find that the interaction between them consists of
two parts; a dead term, independent of the motion of the second swimmer, which
takes the expected dipolar form and a live term resulting from the simultaneous
swimming action of both swimmers which does not. We argue that, in general, the
latter dominates. The swimmer--swimmer interaction is a complicated function of
their relative displacement, orientation and phase, leading to motion that can
be attractive, repulsive or oscillatory.

weight $k$. Motivated by conjectures of Gouvea and Mazur, we strengthen Wan's
congruence between coefficients of $P_k$ and $P_{k'}$ for $k'$ close
$p$-adically to $k$. For $p-1 | 12$, $N = 1$, $k = 0$, we compute a matrix for
$U$ whose entries are coefficients in the power series of a rational function
of two variables. We apply this computation to show for $p = 3$ a parabola
below the Newton polygon $N_0$ of $P_0$, which coincides with $N_0$ infinitely
often. As a consequence, we find a polygonal curve above $N_0$. This tightest
bound on $N_0$ yields the strongest congruences between coefficients of $P_0$

processes A(e,e'p)X off the deuteron and complex nuclei | 19 pages, 10 figures, corrected reference | null | null | null | nucl-th hep-ph | null | The effects of the final state interaction (FSI) in semi inclusive deep
inelastic electron scattering processes $A(e,e'p)X$ off nuclei are investigated
in details. Proton production is described within the spectator and the target
fragmentation mechanisms whose relevance to the experimental study of the deep
inelastic structure functions of bound nucleons and the non perturbative
hadronization process is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the deuteron
target within kinematical conditions corresponding to the available and
forthcoming experimental data at Jlab.
We argue that there are kinematical regions where FSI effects are minimized,
allowing for a reliable investigation of the DIS structure functions, and
regions where the interaction of the quark-gluon debris with nucleons is
maximized, which makes it possible to study hadronization mechanisms. Nuclear
structure has been described by means of realistic wave functions and spectral
functions and the final state interaction has been treated within an eikonal
approximation approach which takes into account the rescattering of the
quark-gluon debris with the residual nucleus and, in the case of complex
nuclei, within an optical potential approach to account for the FSI of the
struck proton.

numerical evolution in 2+1 dimensions | Accepted for publication in PRD, minor typographical corrections,
references updated, 25 pages, 22 eps figures | Phys.Rev.D76:044020,2007 | 10.1103/PhysRevD.76.044020 | null | gr-qc | null | We present a new technique for time-domain numerical evolution of the scalar
field generated by a pointlike scalar charge orbiting a black hole. Time-domain
evolution offers an efficient way for calculating black hole perturbations,
especially as input for computations of the local self force acting on orbiting
particles. In Kerr geometry, the field equations are not fully separable in the
time domain, and one has to tackle them in 2+1 dimensions (two spatial
dimensions and time; the azimuthal dependence is still separable). A technical
difficulty arises when the source of the field is a pointlike particle, as the
2+1-dimensional perturbation is then singular: Each of the azimuthal modes
diverges logarithmically at the particle. To deal with this problem we split
the numerical domain into two regions: Inside a thin worldtube surrounding the
particle's worldline we solve for a regularized variable, obtained from the
full field by subtracting out a suitable ``puncture'' function, given
analytically. Outside this worldtube we solve for the full, original field. The
value of the evolution variable is adjusted across the boundary of the
worldtube. In this work we demonstrate the applicability of this method in the
example of circular orbits around a Schwarzschild black hole (refraining from
exploiting the spherical symmetry of the background, and working in 2+1
dimensions).

various numerical issues addressed (boundary conditions, box size, run

instability (MRI) in accretion disks. We adopt the local shearing box model and
focus on the special case for which the initial magnetic flux threading the
disk vanishes. We employ the finite difference code ZEUS to evolve the ideal
MHD equations. Performing a set of numerical simulations in a fixed
computational domain with increasing resolution, we demonstrate that turbulent
activity decreases as resolution increases. We quantify the turbulent activity
by measuring the rate of angular momentum transport through evaluating the
standard alpha parameter. We find alpha=0.004 when (N_x,N_y,N_z)=(64,100,64),
alpha=0.002 when (N_x,N_y,N_z)=(128,200,128) and alpha=0.001 when
(N_x,N_y,N_z)=(256,400,256). This steady decline is an indication that
numerical dissipation, occurring at the grid scale is an important determinant
of the saturated form of the MHD turbulence. Analysing the results in Fourier
space, we demonstrate that this is due to the MRI forcing significant flow
energy all the way down to the grid dissipation scale. We also use our results
to study the properties of the numerical dissipation in ZEUS. Its amplitude is
characterised by the magnitude of an effective magnetic Reynolds number Re_M
which increases from 10^4 to 10^5 as the number of grid points is increased
from 64 to 256 per scale height. The simulations we have carried out do not
produce results that are independent of the numerical dissipation scale, even
at the highest resolution studied. Thus it is important to use physical
dissipation, both viscous and resistive, and to quantify contributions from
numerical effects, when performing numerical simulations of MHD turbulence with
zero net flux in accretion disks at the resolutions normally considered.

minor changes in the text | null | 10.1051/0004-6361:20077943 | null | astro-ph | null | We study the influence of the choice of transport coefficients (viscosity and
resistivity) on MHD turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability
(MRI) in accretion disks. We follow the methodology described in paper I: we
adopt an unstratified shearing box model and focus on the case where the net
vertical magnetic flux threading the box vanishes. For the most part we use the
finite difference code ZEUS, including explicit transport coefficients in the
calculations. However, we also compare our results with those obtained using
other algorithms (NIRVANA, the PENCIL code and a spectral code) to demonstrate
both the convergence of our results and their independence of the numerical
scheme. We find that small scale dissipation affects the saturated state of MHD
turbulence. In agreement with recent similar numerical simulations done in the
presence of a net vertical magnetic flux, we find that turbulent activity
(measured by the rate of angular momentum transport) is an increasing function
of the magnetic Prandtl number Pm for all values of the Reynolds number Re that
we investigated. We also found that turbulence disappears when the Prandtl
number falls below a critical value Pm_c that is apparently a decreasing
function of Re. For the limited region of parameter space that can be probed
with current computational resources, we always obtained Pm_c>1. We conclude
that the magnitudes of the transport coefficients are important in determining
the properties of MHD turbulence in numerical simulations in the shearing box
with zero net flux, at least for Reynolds numbers and magnetic Prandtl numbers
that are such that transport is not dominated by numerical effects and thus can
be probed using current computational resources.

element and the lattice are analyzed. For this purpose it is assumed that the
metamaterial is composed by cubic SRR resonators, arranged in a cubic lattice.
The minimum symmetries needed to ensure an isotropic behavior are analyzed, and
some particular configurations are proposed. Besides, an equivalent circuit
model is proposed for the considered cubic SRR resonators. Experiments are
carried out in order to validate the proposed theory. We hope that this
analysis will pave the way to the design of bulk metamaterials with strong
isotropic magnetic response, including negative permeability and left-handed
metamaterials.

modes in five delta Scuti stars, belonging to the same cluster, is presented.
The study is based on the work by Michel et al. (1999), in which such a
comparison was performed for a representative set of model solutions obtained
independently for each individual star considered. In this paper we revisit the
work by Michel et al. (1999) following, however, a new approach which consists
in the search for a single, complete, and coherent solution for all the
selected stars, in order to constrain and test the assumed physics describing
these objects. To do so, refined descriptions for the effects of rotation on
the determination of the global stellar parameters and on the adiabatic
oscillation frequency computations are used. In addition, a crude attempt is
made to study the role of rotation on the prediction of mode instabilities.The
present results are found to be comparable with those reported by Michel et al.
(1999). Within the temperature range log T_eff = 3.87-3.88 agreement between
observations and model computations of unstable modes is restricted to values
for the mixing-length parameter alpha_nl less or equal to 1.50. This indicates
that for these stars a smaller value for alpha_nl is required than suggested
from a calibrated solar model. We stress the point that the linear stability
analysis used in this work still assumes stellar models without rotation and
that further developments are required for a proper description of the
interaction between rotation and pulsation dynamics.

generated during the first supernova explosions that end the brief lives of
massive Population III stars. We show that such a CR background could have
significantly influenced the cooling and collapse of primordial gas clouds in
minihaloes around redshifts of z ~ 15 - 20, provided the CR flux was sufficient
to yield an ionization rate greater than about 10^-19 s^-1 near the center of
the minihalo. The presence of CRs with energies less than approximately 10^7 eV
would indirectly enhance the molecular cooling in these regions, and we
estimate that the resulting lower temperatures in these minihaloes would yield
a characteristic stellar mass as low as ~ 10 M_sun. CRs have a less pronounced
effect on the cooling and collapse of primordial gas clouds inside more massive
dark matter haloes with virial masses greater than approximately 10^8 M_sun at
the later stages of cosmological structure formation around z ~ 10 - 15. In
these clouds, even without CR flux the molecular abundance is already
sufficient to allow cooling to the floor set by the temperature of the cosmic
microwave background.

(Y_{1-y}Ca_{y})Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6+x}}$ for doping levels $p(x,y)$ between 0 and
0.07 holes/CuO$_2$. Below the onset of superconductivity at $p_{\rm sc1}
\approx 0.06$, we find evidence of a diagonal superstructure. At $p_{\rm sc1}$,
lattice and electron dynamics change discontinuously with the charge and spin
properties being renormalized at all energy scales. The results indicate that
charge ordering is intimately related to the transition at $p_{\rm sc1}$ and
that the maximal transition temperature to superconductivity at optimal doping
$T_{c}^{\rm max}$ depends on the type of ordering at $p>p_{\rm sc1}$.

show prominent N IV] 1486A emission. This line is extremely rare in quasar
spectra at any redshift; detecting it in two out of a sample of 23 objects
(i.e., ~ 9% of the sample) is intriguing and is likely due to the
low-luminosity, high-redshift quasar sample we are studying. This is still a
poorly explored regime, where contributions from associated, early starbursts
may be significant. One interpretation of this line posits photoionization by
very massive young stars. Seeing N IV] 1486A emission in a high-redshift quasar
may thus be understood in the context of co-formation and early co-evolution of
galaxies and their supermassive black holes. Alternatively, we may be seeing a
phenomenon related to the early evolution of quasar broad emission line
regions. The non-detection (and possibly even broad absorption) of N V 1240A
line in the spectrum of one of these quasars may support that interpretation.
These two objects may signal a new faint quasar population or an early AGN
evolutionary stage at high redshifts.

thought not to be practicable due to the inherently large number of Raman loss
channels available to molecules and the prohibitive expense of building
multiple repumping laser systems. The use of an optical cavity to enhance
coherent Rayleigh scattering into a decaying cavity mode has been suggested as
a potential method to mitigate Raman loss, thereby enabling the laser cooling
of molecules to ultracold temperatures. We discuss the possibility of
cavity-assisted laser cooling particles without closed transitions, identify
conditions necessary to achieve efficient cooling, and suggest solutions given
experimental constraints. Specifically, it is shown that cooperativities much
greater than unity are required for cooling without loss, and that this could
be achieved via the superradiant scattering associated with intracavity
self-localization of the molecules. Particular emphasis is given to the polar
hydroxyl radical (OH), cold samples of which are readily obtained from Stark
deceleration.

regions of 84 radio galaxies, imaged in the optical and near-infrared as part
of Hubble Space Telescope snapshot surveys. We present a sample-wide trend
between host galaxy isophotal structure and the inclination of dusty
circumnuclear disks at the centers of 13 of these objects. We find that
galaxies containing edge-on disks are invariably seen to possess boxy
isophotes, while round, face-on disks are seen exclusively in objects with
round or elliptical isophotes. Dust-rich sources with disky isophotes are
observed only to possess dust in the form of extended filamentary lanes, and
not in settled distributions like disks. As we do not expect that edge-on and
face-on disks reside in different populations of galaxies, we conclude that
perceived isophotal boxiness is dependent upon the angle at which the observer
views the host galaxy's axis of symmetry. We discuss our results in the context
of dissipative merger scenarios, and infer that dusty disks primarily reside in
old, boxy remnants of gas-poor galaxy mergers, whereas filamentary dust lanes
reside in younger disky remnants of gas-rich mergers.

residual foreground template amplitude posterior distributions. We first
analyze the co-added Q- and V-band data, and compare our results to the
likelihood code published by the WMAP team. We find good agreement, and thus
verify the numerics and data processing steps of both approaches. However, we
also analyze the Q- and V-bands separately, allowing for non-zero EB
cross-correlations and including two individual foreground template amplitudes
tracing synchrotron and dust emission. In these analyses, we find tentative
evidence of systematics: The foreground tracers correlate with each of the Q-
and V-band sky maps individually, although not with the co-added QV map; there
is a noticeable negative EB cross-correlation at l <~ 16 in the V-band map; and
finally, when relaxing the constraints on EB and BB, noticeable differences are
observed between the marginalized band powers in the Q- and V-bands. Further
studies of these features are imperative, given the importance of the low-l EE
spectrum on the optical depth of reionization tau and the spectral index of
scalar perturbations n_s.

Hartley's information formula to the generalized information formula step by
step for measuring subjective information: metrical information (such as
conveyed by thermometers), sensory information (such as conveyed by color
vision), and semantic information (such as conveyed by weather forecasts). The
pivotal step is to differentiate condition probability and logical condition
probability of a message. The paper illustrates the rationality of the formula,
discusses the coherence of the generalized information formula and Popper's
knowledge evolution theory. For optimizing data compression, the paper
discusses rate-of-limiting-errors and its similarity to complexity-distortion
based on Kolmogorov's complexity theory, and improves the rate-distortion
theory into the rate-fidelity theory by replacing Shannon's distortion with
subjective mutual information. It is proved that both the rate-distortion
function and the rate-fidelity function are equivalent to a
rate-of-limiting-errors function with a group of fuzzy sets as limiting
condition, and can be expressed by a formula of generalized mutual information
for lossy coding, or by a formula of generalized entropy for lossless coding.
By analyzing the rate-fidelity function related to visual discrimination and
digitized bits of pixels of images, the paper concludes that subjective
information is less than or equal to objective (Shannon's) information; there
is an optimal matching point at which two kinds of information are equal; the
matching information increases with visual discrimination (defined by confusing
probability) rising; for given visual discrimination, too high resolution of
images or too much objective information is wasteful.

density fluctuations in equilibrium systems of interacting Brownian particles.
To facilitate derivation of the diagrammatic expansion we introduce a basis
that consists of orthogonalized many-particle density fluctuations. We obtain
an exact hierarchy of equations of motion for time-dependent correlations of
orthogonalized density fluctuations. To simplify this hierarchy we neglect
contributions to the vertices from higher-order cluster expansion terms. An
iterative solution of the resulting equations can be represented by diagrams
with three and four-leg vertices. We analyze the structure of the diagrammatic
series for the time-dependent density correlation function and obtain a
diagrammatic interpretation of reducible and irreducible memory functions. The
one-loop self-consistent approximation for the latter function coincides with
mode-coupling approximation for Brownian systems that was derived previously
using a projection operator approach.

dynamical measurements using standard CDM halo models. The sample is
inhomogeneous in both its mass distributions and the evolution of its stellar
populations unless the true uncertainties are significantly larger than the
reported measurement errors. In general, the individual systems cannot
constrain halo models, in the sense that the data poorly constrains the stellar
mass fraction of the halo. The ensemble of systems, however, strongly
constrains the average stellar mass represented by the visible galaxies to
$0.026\pm0.006$ of the halo mass if we neglect adiabatic compression, rising to
$0.056\pm0.011$ of the halo mass if we include adiabatic compression. Both
estimates are significantly smaller than the global baryon fraction,
corresponding to a star formation efficiency for early-type galaxies of
$10%-30%$. In the adiabatically compressed models, we find an average local
B-band stellar mass-to-light ratio of $(M/L)_0 =
(7.2\pm0.5)(M_{\sun}/L_{\sun})$ that evolves by $d\log(M/L)/dz = -0.72\pm0.08$
per unit redshift. Adjusting the isotropy of the stellar orbits has little
effect on the results. The adiabatically compressed models are strongly favored
if we impose either local estimates of the mass-to-light ratios of early-type
galaxies or the weak lensing measurements for the lens galaxies on 100 kpc
scales as model constraints.

type IIB string theory landscape. If one of the throats is heated during
cosmological evolution, the energy is subsequently transferred to other throats
or to massless fields in the unwarped bulk of the Calabi-Yau orientifold. This
energy transfer proceeds either by Hawking radiation from the black hole
horizon in the heated throat or, at later times, by the decay of
throat-localized Kaluza-Klein states. In both cases, we calculate in a 10d
setup the energy transfer rate (respectively decay rate) as a function of the
AdS scales of the throats and of their relative distance. Compared to existing
results based on 5d models, we find a significant suppression of the energy
transfer rates if the size of the embedding Calabi-Yau orientifold is much
larger than the AdS radii of the throats. This effect can be partially
compensated by a small distance between the throats. These results are
relevant, e.g., for the analysis of reheating after brane inflation. Our
calculation employs the dual gauge theory picture in which each throat is
described by a strongly coupled 4d gauge theory, the degrees of freedom of
which are localized at a certain position in the compact space.

in press | Astrophys.J.666:919-933,2007 | 10.1086/520622 | null | astro-ph | null | Within a half-parsec from the Galactic center (GC), there is a population of
coeval young stars which appear to reside in a coherent disk. Surrounding this
dynamically-cool stellar system, there is a population of stars with a similar
age and much larger eccentricities and inclinations relative to the disk. We
propose a hypothesis for the origin of this dynamical dichotomy. Without
specifying any specific mechanism, we consider the possibility that both
stellar populations were formed within a disk some 6 Myr ago. But this orderly
structure was dynamically perturbed outside-in by an intruding object with a
mass ~10^4 Msun, which may be an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) or a dark
stellar cluster hosting an IMBH. We suggest that the perturber migrated inward
to ~0.15-0.3pc from the GC under the action of dynamical friction. Along the
way, it captured many stars in the outer disk region into its mean-motion
resonance, forced them to migrate with it, closely encountered with them, and
induced the growth of their eccentricity and inclination. But stars in the
inner regions of the disk retain their initial coplanar structure. We predict
that some of the inclined and eccentric stars surrounding the disk may have
similar Galactocentric semimajor axis. Future precision determination of their
kinematic distribution of these stars will not only provide a test for this
hypothesis but also evidences for the presence of an IMBH or a dark cluster at
the immediate proximity of the massive black hole at the GC. (abridged)

traditionally being performed in the dual space, to avoid the combinatorial
complexity of inclusion--exclusion formulas for the intersecting proper faces
of cones. We prove that, on the level of indicator functions of polyhedra,
there is no need for using inclusion--exclusion formulas to account for
boundary effects: All linear identities in the space of indicator functions can
be purely expressed using half-open variants of the full-dimensional polyhedra
in the identity. This gives rise to a practically efficient, parametric
Barvinok algorithm in the primal space.

generation via chi2 and chi3 nonlinearities. We find that conversion efficiency
is optimized for a certain critical power depending on the cavity parameters,
and assuming reasonable parameters we predict 100 percent conversion using
milliwatts of power or less. These results follow from a semi-analytical
coupled-mode theory framework which is generalized from previous work to
include both chi2 and chi3 media as well as inhomogeneous (fully vectorial)
cavities, analyzed in the high-efficiency limit where down-conversion processes
lead to a maximum efficiency at the critical power, and which is verified by
direct finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations of the nonlinear
Maxwell equations. Explicit formulas for the nonlinear coupling coefficients
are derived in terms of the linear cavity eigenmodes, which can be used to
design and evaluate cavities in arbitrary geometries.

usually been studied via density or spin density bosonic mode fluctuations
according to the standard Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson phase transition paradigm. A
moment's reflection leads to increasing doubts that such an approach should
work as the transition is nonmagnetic, voiding the relevance of spin density
modes. Charge density modes are irrelevelant since the long range Coulomb
interaction leads to a large plasmon gap and their incompressibility. In
solidarity with these doubts, recent measurements of the Mott critical point in
low dimensional organic materials yield critical exponents in violent
diasagreement with the bosonic mode criticality lore. We propose that fermionic
fluctuations control the behavior of the Mott transition. The transition thus
has an intrinsic quantum aspect despite being a finite temperature phase
transition. We develop this hitherto unexplored physics, obtain experimental
predictions and find agreement with one of the novel unexplained experimental
exponents. We conclude that this Mott transition corresponds to a new
universality class of finite temperature critical points that contains quantum
effects and cannot be accounted for by conventional Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson
wisdom.

region around the center of our Galaxy. It has been suggested that this signal,
known as the ``WMAP Haze'', could be synchrotron emission from relativistic
electrons and positrons generated in dark matter annihilations. In this letter,
we revisit this possibility. We find that the angular distribution of the WMAP
Haze matches the prediction for dark matter annihilations with a cusped density
profile, $\rho(r) \propto r^{-1.2}$ in the inner kiloparsecs. Comparing the
intensity in different WMAP frequency bands, we find that a wide range of
possible WIMP annihilation modes are consistent with the spectrum of the haze
for a WIMP with a mass in the 100 GeV to multi-TeV range. Most interestingly,
we find that to generate the observed intensity of the haze, the dark matter
annihilation cross section is required to be approximately equal to the value
needed for a thermal relic, $\sigma v \sim 3 \times 10^{-26}$ cm$^3$/s. No
boost factors are required. If dark matter annihilations are in fact
responsible for the WMAP Haze, and the slope of the halo profile continues into
the inner Galaxy, GLAST is expected to detect gamma rays from the dark matter
annihilations in the Galactic Center if the WIMP mass is less than several
hundred GeV.

electroweak physics. The knots are quantized and their kinematic states are
labelled by $D^j_{mm'}$, irreducible representations of $SU_q(2)$, where j =
N/2, m = w/2, m' = (r+1)/2 and (N,w,r) designate respectively the number of
crossings, the writhe, and the rotation of the knot. The knot quantum numbers
(N,w,r) are related to the standard isotopic spin quantum numbers $(t,t_3,t_0)$
by $(t=N/6,t_3=-w/6,t_0=-(r+1)/6)$, where $t_0$ is the hypercharge. In this
model the elementary fermions are low lying states of the quantum trefoil (N=3)
and the gauge bosons are ditrefoils (N=6). The fermionic knots interact by the
emission and absorption of bosonic knots. In this framework we have explored a
slightly modified standard electroweak Lagrangian with a slightly modified
gauge group which agrees closely but not entirely with standard electroweak
theory.

are products of individual non-hermitian spin operators. In the absence of
interactions, the non-hermitian states are predicted to form a new quantum
state of spin magnitude 1/sqrt(2) rather than 1/2. Properties of these states
show that an isolated spin is a resonance state with zero net angular momentum,
consistent with a point particle. In addition, the Bell states are shown to
take on the identical mathematical form when the two spins are bound (local) or
unbound (non-local). The bound Bell states are resonances between four states.
When the separate, they do so from only one of its resonance states and their
ensemble average defines the unbound Bell states. The bound and unbound Bell
states have the same mathematical form due to the persistence of the
rotationally invariance of sigma(1)dot sigma(2).

geometries, for arbitrary dielectric and metallic materials, with arbitrary
accuracy (given sufficient computational resources). Our approach, based on
well-established integration of the mean stress tensor evaluated via the
fluctuation-dissipation theorem, is designed to directly exploit fast methods
developed for classical computational electromagnetism, since it only involves
repeated evaluation of the Green's function for imaginary frequencies
(equivalently, real frequencies in imaginary time). We develop the approach by
systematically examining various formulations of Casimir forces from the
previous decades and evaluating them according to their suitability for
numerical computation. We illustrate our approach with a simple
finite-difference frequency-domain implementation, test it for known geometries
such as a cylinder and a plate, and apply it to new geometries. In particular,
we show that a piston-like geometry of two squares sliding between metal walls,
in both two and three dimensions with both perfect and realistic metallic
materials, exhibits a surprising non-monotonic ``lateral'' force from the
walls.

galaxies. We present observations of NGC4569, a member of the Virgo Cluster. We
analyse the molecular gas distribution and kinematics in the central region and
we investigate a possible link to the strong starburst present at the nucleus.
70% of the 1.1x10^9 Msolar of molecular gas detected in the inner 20" is found
to be concentrated within the inner 800 pc and is distributed along the large
scale stellar bar seen in near-infrared observations. A hole in the CO
distribution coincides with the nucleus where most of the Halpha emission and
blue light are emitted. The kinematics are modelled in three different ways,
ranging from the purely geometrical to the most physical. This approach allows
us to constrain progressively the physical properties of the galaxy and
eventually to emerge with a reasonable fit to an analytical model of orbits in
a barred potential. Fitting an axisymmetric model shows that the non-circular
motions must be comparable in amplitude to the circular motions (120 km/s).
Fitting a model based on elliptical orbits allows us to identify with
confidence the single inner Lindblad resonance (ILR) of the large scale bar.
Finally, a model based on analytical solutions for the gas particle orbits in a
weakly barred potential constrained by the ILR radius reproduces the
observations well. The mass inflow rate is then estimated and discussed based
on the best fit model solution. The gravitational torques implied by this model
are able to efficiently funnel the gas inside the ILR down to 300 pc, although
another mechanism must take over to fuel the nuclear starburst inside 100 pc.

x-ray reflectivity and tensiometry demonstrates that the liquid to gas
monolayer phase transition at the hexane/water interface is thermodynamically
favorable only for long-chain alkanols. As the alkanol chain length is
decreased, the change in excess interfacial entropy per area decreases to zero.
Systems with small values of excess interfacial entropy form multi-molecular
layers at the interface instead of the monolayer formed by systems with much
larger excess interfacial entropy. Substitution of n-hexane by n-hexadecane
significantly alters the interfacial structure for a given alkanol surfactant,
but this substitution does not change fundamentally the phase transition
behavior of the monolayers. These data show that the critical alkanol carbon
number, at which the change in excess interfacial entropy per area decreases to
zero, is approximately six carbons larger than the number of carbons in the
alkane solvent molecules.

Neutrino Observatory (SNO). Data in the third phase of the SNO experiment were
collected between November 2004 and November 2006, after the NCD array was
added to improve the neutral-current sensitivity of the SNO detector. This
array consisted of 36 strings of proportional counters filled with a mixture of
$^3$He and CF$_4$ gas capable of detecting the neutrons liberated by the
neutrino-deuteron neutral current reaction in the D$_2$O, and four strings
filled with a mixture of $^4$He and CF$_4$ gas for background measurements. The
proportional counter diameter is 5 cm. The total deployed array length was 398
m. The SNO NCD array is the lowest-radioactivity large array of proportional
counters ever produced. This article describes the design, construction,
deployment, and characterization of the NCD array, discusses the electronics
and data acquisition system, and considers event signatures and backgrounds.

underlying ensemble evolves under a classical distribution of unitary
processes. While many incoherent processes appear decoherent, there are
important differences. The distribution functions underlying incoherent
processes are either static or slowly varying with respect to control
operations and so the errors introduced by these distributions are refocusable.
The observation and control of incoherence in small Hilbert spaces is well
known. Here we explore incoherence during an entangling operation, such as is
relevant in quantum information processing. As expected, it is more difficult
to separate incoherence and decoherence over such processes. However, by
studying the fidelity decay under a cyclic entangling map we are able to
identify distinctive experimental signatures of incoherence. This result is
demonstrated both through numerical simulations and experimentally in a three
qubit nuclear magnetic resonance implementation.

and provided new views of the heavens. Here we report the discovery of an
optical transient in the outskirts of the lenticular galaxy Messier 85 in the
Virgo Cluster. With a peak absolute R magnitude of -12 this event is distinctly
brighter than novae, but fainter than type Ia supernovae (expected from a
population of old stars in lenticular galaxies). Archival images of the field
do not show a luminous star at that position with an upper limit of ~-4.1, so
it is unlikely to be a giant eruption from a luminous blue variable star. Over
a two month period the transient emitted radiation energy of almost 10E47 erg
and subsequently faded in the opical sky. It is similar to, but more luminous
at peak by a factor of 6 than, an enigmatic transient in the galaxy M31. A
possible origin of M85 OT2006-1 is a stellar merger. If so, searches for
similar events in nearby galaxies will not only allow to study the physics of
hyper-Eddington sources, but also probe an important phase in the evolution of
stellar binary systems.

hint for the observation of saturation in high-energy QCD e.g. through the
observation of geometric scaling. Accordingly, the dipole picture provides a
powerful framework in which the QCD-based saturation models can be confronted
to the data. In this paper, we give a parametrisation of proton structure
function which is directly constrained by the dynamics of QCD in its
high-energy limit and fully includes the heavy quark effects. We obtain a good
agreement with the available data. Furthermore, to the contrary of various
models in the literature, we do not observe a significant decrease of the
saturation momentum due to the heavy quark inclusion.

issue 7, July 2007 | null | 10.1063/1.2748374 | null | nlin.SI | null | This paper aims at the most comprehensive and systematic construction and
tabulation of mechanical systems that admit a second invariant, quadratic in
velocities, other than the Hamiltonian. The configuration space is in general a
2D Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifold and the determination of its
geometry is a part of the process of solution. Forces acting on the system
include a part derived from a scalar potential and a part derived from a vector
potential, associated with terms linear in velocities in the Lagrangian
function of the system. The last cause time-irreversibility of the system. We
construct 41 multi-parameter integrable systems of the type described in the
title mostly on Riemannian manifolds. They are mostly new and cover all
previously known systems as special cases, corresponding to special values of
the parameters. Those include all known cases of motion of a particle in the
plane and all known cases in the dynamics of rigid body. In the last field we
introduce a new integrable case related to Steklov's case of motion of a body
in a liquid. Several new cases of motion in the plane, on the sphere and on the
pseudo-sphere or in the hyperbolic plane are found as special cases.
Prospective applications in mathematics and physics are also pointed out.

available at http://hermes.as.arizona.edu/~luc/aic_mhd/aic_mhd.html | null | 10.1086/521701 | null | astro-ph | null | We present 2D multi-group flux-limited diffusion magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
simulations of the Accretion-Induced Collapse (AIC) of a rapidly-rotating white
dwarf. We focus on the dynamical role of MHD processes after the formation of a
millisecond-period protoneutron star. We find that including magnetic fields
and stresses can lead to a powerful explosion with an energy of a few Bethe,
rather than a weak one of at most 0.1 Bethe, with an associated ejecta mass of
~0.1Msun, instead of a few 0.001Msun. The core is spun down by ~30% within
500ms after bounce, and the rotational energy extracted from the core is
channeled into magnetic energy that generates a strong magnetically-driven
wind, rather than a weak neutrino-driven wind. Baryon loading of the ejecta,
while this wind prevails, precludes it from becoming relativistic. This
suggests that a GRB is not expected to emerge from such AICs during the early
protoneutron star phase, except in the unlikely event that the massive white
dwarf has sufficient mass to lead to black hole formation. In addition, we
predict both negligible 56Ni-production (that should result in an
optically-dark, adiabatically-cooled explosion) and the ejection of 0.1Msun of
material with an electron fraction of 0.1-0.2. Such pollution by neutron-rich
nuclei puts strong constraints on the possible rate of such AICs. Moreover,
being free from ``fallback,'' such highly-magnetized millisecond-period
protoneutron stars may later become magnetars, and the magnetically-driven
winds may later transition to Poynting-flux-dominated, relativistic winds,
eventually detectable as GRBs at cosmological distances. However, the low
expected event rate of AICs will constrain them to be, at best, a small subset
of GRB and/or magnetar progenitors.

wide-field survey of the Coma cluster. The observations cover two fields of
different galaxy densities; the first is a 0.733 deg^2 region in the core of
the cluster (Coma 1), the second a 0.555 deg^2 off-center region located ~57
arcmin (1.7 Mpc) south-west from the core (Coma 3). The observations, although
short 70-90 s exposures, are very sensitive; we detect ~29,200 sources at 3.6
micron over the total ~1.3 deg^2 survey area. We construct 3.6 micron galaxy
luminosity functions (LFs) for each field using selection functions based on
spectroscopic redshifts. At the bright end, the LFs are well modeled by a
traditional Schechter function; [M^star (3.6 micron), alpha_1] = [-25.17,
-1.18] and [-24.69, -1.30] for Coma 1 and Coma 3 respectively. However, at the
faint end (M(3.6 micron) > -20.5), there is a steep increase in the LF slope in
both fields indicative of large numbers of red dwarf galaxies. The reality of
this population is examined using optical counterparts in SDSS data with
optical color filtering (g-r<1.3). The steep increase can be modeled with a
power-law function, with slopes of alpha_2 = -2.18 (Coma 1) and alpha_2 = -2.60
(Coma 3). A qualitative comparison with optical (B- and R-band) LFs shows that
we are likely to be observing a larger population of dwarf galaxies in the
near-IR, which may be a low-surface-brightness (LSB) population that IRAC is
particularly sensitive to, or a population too red to be detected in existing
optical surveys down to R~20.

number density of the universe are interrelated. The model combines the
mechanism of Dimopoulos and Susskind in which the baryon number density of the
universe is generated by the time-dependence of the phase of a complex scalar
field, i.e. its `angular momentum' in the two-dimensinal complex field space,
with that of Yoshimura in which the `centrifugal force' due the `angular
momentum' pushes the vacuum expectation value of the scalar field out of a
negative potential minimum and provides a small but positive cosmological
constant. Unfortunately, our model fails to relate the smallness of the two
numbers directly, requiring a fine-tuning of the negative potential minimum.

Sensor Networks | 33 pages, 7 figures, 2 tables | null | null | null | cs.CR cs.DC cs.NI | null | Wireless sensor networks place sensors into an area to collect data and send
them back to a base station. Data fusion, which fuses the collected data before
they are sent to the base station, is usually implemented over the network.
Since the sensor is typically placed in locations accessible to malicious
attackers, information assurance of the data fusion process is very important.
A witness-based approach has been proposed to validate the fusion data. In this
approach, the base station receives the fusion data and "votes" on the data
from a randomly chosen sensor node. The vote comes from other sensor nodes,
called "witnesses," to verify the correctness of the fusion data. Because the
base station obtains the vote through the chosen node, the chosen node could
forge the vote if it is compromised. Thus, the witness node must encrypt the
vote to prevent this forgery. Compared with the vote, the encryption requires
more bits, increasing transmission burden from the chosen node to the base
station. The chosen node consumes more power. This work improves the
witness-based approach using direct voting mechanism such that the proposed
scheme has better performance in terms of assurance, overhead, and delay. The
witness node transmits the vote directly to the base station. Forgery is not a
problem in this scheme. Moreover, fewer bits are necessary to represent the
vote, significantly reducing the power consumption. Performance analysis and
simulation results indicate that the proposed approach can achieve a 40 times
better overhead than the witness-based approach.

velocities forbidden by Galactic rotation in the Galactic plane using the

These ``forbidden-velocity wings (FVWs)'' appear as protruding excessive
emission in comparison with their surroundings in limited (< 2 deg) spatial
regions over velocity extent more than ~20 km/s in large-scale (l-v) diagrams.
Their high-velocities imply that there should be some dynamical phenomena
associated. We have identified 87 FVWs. We present their catalog, and discuss
their distribution and statistical properties. We found that 85% of FVWs are
not coincident with known supernova remnants (SNRs), galaxies, or high-velocity
clouds. Their natures are currently unknown. We suspect that many of them are
fast-moving HI shells and filaments associated with the oldest SNRs that are
essentially invisible except via their HI line emission. We discuss other
possible origins.

cosmological moduli/gravitino problem or dimension four/five proton decay
problem in a class of supersymmetric theories with O(1) GeV gravitino mass. The
cosmic abundance of the non-thermally produced gravitinos naturally explains
the dark matter component of the universe. A mild hierarchy between the mass
scale of supersymmetric particles and electroweak scale is predicted,
consistent with the null result of a search for the Higgs boson at the LEP-II
experiments. A relation to the strong CP problem is addressed. We propose a
parametrization of the model for the purpose of collider studies. The scalar
tau lepton is the next to lightest supersymmetric particle in a theoretically
favored region of the parameter space. The lifetime of the scalar tau is of
O(1000) seconds with which it is regarded as a charged stable particle in
collider experiments. We discuss characteristic signatures and a strategy for
confirmation of this class of theories at the LHC experiments.

Key project devoted to detecting Jupiter mass planets around young stars. In
order to ensure that the stars in the sample are free of various sources of
astrometric noise that might impede the detection of planets, we have initiated
programs to collect photometry, high contrast images, interferometric data and
radial velocities for stars in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. We
have completed a high contrast imaging survey of target stars in Taurus and the
Pleiades and found no definitive common proper motion companions within one
arcsecond (140 AU) of the SIM targets. Our radial velocity surveys have shown
that many of the target stars in Sco-Cen are fast rotators and a few stars in
Taurus and the Pleiades may have sub-stellar companions. Interferometric data
of a few stars in Taurus show no signs of stellar or sub-stellar companions
with separations of <5 mas. The photometric survey suggests that approximately
half of the stars initially selected for this program are variable to a degree
(1 sigma>0.1 mag) that would degrade the astrometric accuracy achievable for
that star. While the precursor programs are still a work in progress, we
provide a comprehensive list of all targets ranked according to their viability
as a result of the observations taken to date. By far, the observable that
moves the most targets from the SIM-YSO program is photometric variability.

It is shown, how to apply the 2\pi k method in this more general setting, where

primarily on the strength of the second neighbor interaction.

accelerations, $T^2M$, is defined as a third order vector field $S$ on $T^2M$,
called semispray, which is mapped by the second order tangent structure into
one of the Liouville vector field. For a regular Lagrangian of second order we
prove that this semispray is uniquely determined by two associated
Cartan-Poincar\'e one-forms. To study the geometry of this semispray we
construct a nonlinear connection, which is a Lagrangian subbundle for the
presymplectic structure. Using this semispray and the associated nonlinear
connection we define covariant derivatives of first and second order. With
respect to this, the second order dynamical derivative of the Lagrangian metric
tensor vanishes.

learning drives the system from chaos to a steady state through a sequence of
bifurcations. Here, we interpret these results mathematically and show that
these effects, involving a complex coupling between neuronal dynamics and
synaptic graph structure, can be analyzed using Jacobian matrices, which
introduce both a structural and a dynamical point of view on the neural network
evolution. Furthermore, we show that the sensitivity to a learned pattern is
maximal when the largest Lyapunov exponent is close to 0. We discuss how neural
networks may take advantage of this regime of high functional interest.

Experimental evidence suggests that both types of homeostasis exist, and that

present a simple stochastic computational Hebbian learning model that
incorporates both firing rate and critical homeostasis, and we explore its
stability and connectivity properties. We also examine the behavior of our
model with a simulated seizure and with simulated acute deafferentation. We
argue that a neural system that is more highly connected than the critical
state (i.e., one that is "supercritical") is epileptogenic. Based on our
simulations, we predict that the post-seizural and post-deafferentation states
should be supercritical and epileptogenic. Furthermore, interventions that
boost spontaneous activity should be protective against epileptogenesis.

solutions exhibit moving coherent features, such as thin interfaces in wildfire
modeling. The ensemble members are represented as the composition of one common
state with a spatial transformation, called registration mapping, plus a
residual. A fully automatic registration method is used that requires only
gridded data, so the features in the model state do not need to be identified
by the user. The morphing EnKF operates on a transformed state consisting of
the registration mapping and the residual. Essentially, the morphing EnKF uses
intermediate states obtained by morphing instead of linear combinations of the

Stripper foils lifetimes in the nonstationary intense particle can be described
by two failure mechanisms: radiation damage accumulation and evaporation of
target. At the maximal temperatures less than 2500K the radiation damage are
dominated; at temperatures above 2500K the mechanism of evaporation of a foil
prevails. The proposed approach has been applied to the discription of

explains this feature. In addition, experimental data shows intraband

proportional to the hole concentration of the ladder, which is consistent with

a domain wall between the two phases directly follows from this formalism. This
theory provides an elementary and comprehensive phenomenology of the quantum
spin Hall system.

thermodynamics for a black object consisting of n-dimensional charged
stationary axisymmetric black hole surrounded by $a$ black rings, the so-called
black Saturn was derived. The general setting for our derivation is
n-dimensional dilaton gravity with p + 1 strength form fields.
