We argue that there has been substantial evolution in the ellipticity of rich galaxy clusters between 0 < z < 0.1, and suggest that this is additional evidence for a low matter-density Universe.

We have retrieved multicolor WFPC2/HST data from the STScI archive for 27 nearby Massive (>= 3x10^4 M_Sun) Young (< 20 Myr) star Clusters (MYCs). The data represents the most-complete-to-date sample of clearly resolved MYCs. We have analyzed their structural properties and have found that they can be classified as either Super Star Clusters (SSCs) or as Scal

The kinematic and morphological properties of a string of [Ar III] bright knots in the Crab Nebula are examined using 1994 - 1999 HST WFPC-2 images of the remnant. We find that five southern [Ar III] bright knots exhibit ordinary radial motions away from the nebula&#39;s center of expansion with magnitudes consistent with their projected radial displacements

We use a self-consistent model of galaxy formation and the evolution of the intergalactic medium to study the effects of the reionization of the universe at high redshift on the properties of satellite galaxies like those seen around the Milky Way. Photoionization suppresses the formation of small galaxies, so that surviving satellites are preferentially tho

We develop a coupled model for the evolution of the global properties of the intergalactic medium (IGM) and the formation of galaxies, in the presence of a photoionizing background due to stars and quasars. We use this model to predict the thermodynamic history of the IGM when photoionized by galaxies forming in a cold dark matter (CDM) universe. The evoluti

The giant early-type merger remnant galaxy NGC 1316 is an ideal probe for studying the long-term effects of a major merger on its globular cluster (GC) system, given its spectroscopically derived merger age of 3 Gyr which we reported in a recent paper. Here we report several pieces of photometric evidence showing that the second-generation GCs in NGC 1316 ar

We present a systematic search for parallax microlensing events among a total of 512 microlensing candidates in the OGLE II database for the 1997-1999 seasons. We fit each microlensing candidate with both the standard microlensing model and also a parallax model that accounts for the Earth&#39;s motion around the Sun. We then search for the parallax signatur

The observational tests for the period of reionization of the universe are discussed. We show that this period can be observed as {\it negative} intensity patches of the CMB radiation with the amplitude $δT/T\sim 10^{-5}$ and the angular sizes $θ_T\sim$10 angular seconds in range of the wavelength 0.1 cm$\leqλ\leq$1 cm. The expected number density and freque

The ages of stellar populations in 52 elliptical and S0 galaxies in the Coma cluster are investigated using a new spectroscopic sample. More than 40% of the S0s are found to have experienced recent star formation in their central regions during the last ~5 Gyrs, while such activity is absent in the ellipticals. Galaxies in this sample have absolute magnitude

Relativistically covariant form of equation of motion for real particle (neutral in charge) under the action of electromagnetic radiation is derived. Various formulations of the equation of motion in the proper frame of reference of the particle are used. Main attention is devoted to the reformulation of the equation of motion in the general frame of referen

Detailed discussion of university textbook statements (Harwit 1988) concerning the Poynting-Robertson effect (P-R effect) is presented. Discussion is concentrated on better physical understanding of the P-R effect. References to complete correct equation of motion for real dust particle are also presented.

We present observations of SS 433 using the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer. Many emission lines of highly ionized elements are detected with the relativistic blue and red Doppler shifts. The lines are measurably broadened to 1700 km/s (FWHM) and the widths do not depend significantly on the characteristic emission temperature, suggesti

We report results of EVN interferometric study of two star-forming regions L1206 and GL2789 in the brightest methanol maser line at 6.7 GHz. Using measured absolute positions both methanol masers were identified with protostars which are sources of bipolar outflows. Both masers consist of several maser spots, with some of them being aligned in a linear struc

Magnetic fields can be created in stably stratified (non-convective) layers in a differentially rotating star. A magnetic instability in the toroidal field (wound up by differential rotation) replaces the role of convection in closing the field amplification loop. Tayler instability is likely to be the most relevant magnetic instability. A dynamo model is de

If M is a monoid (e.g. the lattice Z^D), and A is an abelian group, then A^M is a compact abelian group; a linear cellular automaton (LCA) is a continuous endomorphism F:A^M --> A^M that commutes with all shift maps. If F is diffusive, and mu is a harmonically mixing (HM) probability measure on A^M, then the sequence {F^N mu} (N=1,2,3,...) weak*-converges to

Let M be a monoid (e.g. the lattice Z^D), and A an abelian group. A^M is then a compact abelian group; a linear cellular automaton (LCA) is a continuous endomorphism F:A^M --> A^M that commutes with all shift maps. Let mu be a (possibly nonstationary) probability measure on A^M; we develop sufficient conditions on mu and F so that the sequence {F^N mu} (N=1,

We construct supergravity duals of D6-branes wrapping Kahler four-cycles inside a Calabi-Yau threefold, CY_3. We obtain the purely gravitational M-theory description, which turns out to be a Calabi-Yau fourfold, CY_4. We also analyze the dynamics of a probe D6 in this background.

We consider the consequences of SIDM for a velocity dependent cross section per unit mass. Accretion of SIDM onto seed black holes can produce supermassive black holes that are too large for certain combinations of parameters,which is used to obtain a new constraint on the dark matter interaction. Constraints due to other considerations are presented and pre

Our previous work about algebraic-geometric invariants of the mixed states are extended and a stronger separability criterion is given. We also show that the Schmidt number of pure states in bipartite quantum systems, a classical concept, is actually an algebraic-geometric invariant.

We introduce algebraic sets in the products of complex projective spaces for the mixed states in multipartite quantum systems as their invariants under local unitary operations. The algebraic sets have to be the union of the linear subspaces if the state is separable. Some examples are studied based on our criterion

It has been shown by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen that in quantum mechanics either one of two different wave functions predicting specific values for quantities represented by non-commuting Hermitian operators can characterize the same physical existent, without a physical interaction responsible for which wave function occurs.

We analyze the necrosis growth due to thermal coagulation induced by laser light absorption and limited by heat diffusion into the surrounding live tissue. The tissue is assumed to contain a certain tumor in the undamaged tissue whereof the blood perfusion rate does not change during the action. By contrast, the normal tissue responds strongly to increase in

Enstrophy is an averaged measure of fluid vorticity. This quantity is particularly important in {\em rotating} geophysical flows. We investigate the dynamical evolution of enstrophy for large-scale quasi-geostrophic flows under random wind forcing. We obtain upper bounds on the enstrophy, as well as results establishing its Hölder continuity and describing t

The ocean thermohaline circulation, also called meridional overturning circulation, is caused by water density contrasts. This circulation has large capacity of carrying heat around the globe and it thus affects the energy budget and further affects the climate. We consider a thermohaline circulation model in the meridional plane under external wind forcing.

A classical result of Sampson and Schoen-Yau in 1978 states that every diffeomorphism between compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces is homotopic to an harmonic diffeomorphism. As conjectured by Schoen in 1993 and partially proved by Wan in 1992 and Tam-Wan in 1995, we prove in this article that this theorem generalizes to the non compact case : every quasi sym

An M-theory constructed in an eleven-dimensional supermanifold with a <>-product of field operators is shown to have a de Sitter space solution. Possible implications of this result for cosmology are mentioned.

We sketch some recent ideas proposed as the mechanism behind the puzzling experimental results on baryon-antibaryon production in e+e- annihilation close to threshold. The essential new point in the proposed mechanism is that it is a two-stage process, with a coherent state of pions serving as an intermediary between e+e- and the baryon-antibaryon system. Sk

A model of computation is abstract if, when applied to any algebra, the resulting programs for computable functions and sets on that algebra are invariant under isomorphisms, and hence do not depend on a representation for the algebra. Otherwise it is concrete. Intuitively, concrete models depend on the implementation of the algebra. The difference is partic

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), resistivity and thermoelectric power have been measured on Pr1-xCaxBa2Cu3O7. These data reveal an intriguing electronic structure in Pr-doped cuprates. The absorption peak in XANES associated with the Fehrenbacher-Rice (FR) band has been identified. The Ca-doped holes in Pr1-xCaxBa2Cu3O7 go to both the Zhang-Rice

We describe the subject of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) analysis - its past, present and future. The theory of Gaussian primary anisotropies, those arising from linear physics operating in the early Universe, is in reasonably good shape so the focus has shifted to the statistical pipeline which confronts the data with the theory: mapping, filtering, com

We construct phase-space distribution functions for the oblate, cuspy mass models of Sridhar & Touma, which may contain a central point mass (black hole) and have potentials of Stäckel form in parabolic coordinates. The density in the ST models is proportional to a power $r^{-γ}$ of the radius, with $0<γ<1$. We derive distribution functions $f(E, L_z)$ for t

Using 220 Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) redshifts and luminosities derived from the luminosity-variability relationship of Fenimore & Ramirez-Ruiz (2000), we show that there exists a significant correlation between the GRB luminosity and redshift. In particular, we find that the evolution of the average luminosity can be parameterized as L ~ (1+z)^(1.4 +- 0.5), wher

We explore application of the domain wall fermion formalism of lattice QCD to calculate the $K\toππ$ decay amplitudes in terms of the $K\toπ$ and $K\to 0$ hadronic matrix elements through relations derived in chiral perturbation theory. Numerical simulations are carried out in quenched QCD using domain-wall fermion action for quarks and an RG-improved gauge

We discuss hybrid Monte Carlo algorithms for odd-flavor lattice QCD simulations. The algorithms include a polynomial approximation which enables us to simulate odd-flavor QCD in the framework of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. In order to make the algorithms exact, the correction factor to the polynomial approximation is also included in an economical, sto

We show that a micropolar fluid model successfully describes collisional granular flows on a slope. A micropolar fluid is the fluid with internal structures in which coupling between the spin of each particle and the macroscopic velocity field is taken into account. It is a hydrodynamical framework suitable for granular systems which consists of particles wi

Explicit expressions for Lagrangians of the elementary modes of the problem, characterising both forward and backward time propagations are given.

The stability of the TAP mean field equations is reanalyzed with the conclusion that the exclusive reason for the breakdown at the spin glass instability is an inconsistency for the value of the local susceptibility. A new alternative approach leads to modified equations which are in complete agreement with the original ones above the instability. Essentiall

For a given differentiable map $(x,y)\to (X(x,y),Y(x,y))$, which has an inverse, we show that there exists a Hamiltonian flow in which x plays the role of the time variable while y is fixed.

We describe a simple scheme for implementing the non-linear sign gate of Knill, Laflamme and Milburn (Nature, {\bf 409}, 46-52, Jan. 4 (2001)) which forms the basis of an experiment underway at the University of Vienna.

Dual Pfaff equations (of the form \tilde D^a = 0, \tilde D^a some vector fields of degree -1) preserved by the exceptional infinite-dimensional simple Lie superalgebras ksle(5|10), vle(3|6) and mb(3|8) are constructed, yielding an intrinsic geometric definition of these algebras. This leads to conditions on the vector fields, which are solved explicitly. Exp

The sinh-Gordon model on a half-line with integrable boundary conditions is considered in low order perturbation theory developed in affine Toda field theory. The quantum corrections to the classical reflection factor of the model are studied up to the second order in the difference of the two boundary parameters and to one loop order in the bulk coupling.

The possible amplification of gauge invariant metric fluctuations in the infrared sector are very important during reheating stage of inflation. In this stage the inflaton oscillates arount the minimum of the scalar potential.

We present an argument that, for a large class of possible dynamics, a canonical quantization of gravity will satisfy the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy-area relation. This result holds for temperatures low compared to the Planck temperature and for boundaries with areas large compared to Planck area. We also relate our description, in terms of a grand canonical

We present observations of the Soft Gamma-ray Repeater SGR 1806-20 taken with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We identify the X-ray counterpart of SGR 1806-20 based on detection of 7.5-s pulsations. Using three unrelated X-ray sources (and USNO stars) as position references, we are able to determine that the SGR is at alpha_{2000}=18h08m39.32s and delta_{2000

It is shown that the electron wave vector in a crystal cannot be smaller than a certain value. As a result, in a crystal there are many first Brillouin zones, and not only one as it had been supposed earlier. In crystal there can be many electrons with the same wave vector, and not only two as it had been supposed earlier. These electrons must be at sufficie

We consider closed string tachyons localized at the fixed points of noncompact nonsupersymmetric orbifolds. We argue that tachyon condensation drives these orbifolds to flat space or supersymmetric ALE spaces. The decay proceeds via an expanding shell of dilaton gradients and curvature which interpolates between two regions of distinct angular geometry. The

The axino with mass in the GeV region can be cold dark matter(CDM) in the galactic halo. However, if R-parity is broken, for example by the bilinear terms $μ_α$, then axino($\tilde a$) can decay to $ν+γ$. In this case, the most stringent bound on the axino lifetime comes from the diffuse photon background and we obtain that the axino lifetime should be great

It has been speculated that the recently detected ultra-high energy cosmic rays may originate from the decays of relic particles with mass of order $10^{12}$ GeV clustered in the halo of our Galaxy.

The restrictions imposed by anomaly cancellation on the chiral fermion content of nonsupersymmetric gauge theories based on various groups are studied in spacetime dimension D=6, 8, and 10.

Well known Bethe strings in spin chains, delta-electron gas, Hubbard and t-J models are shown to be imprecise, while their consisten refinement along with a new non-Bethe r-string are discovered.

We compute the cosmic microwave background bispectrum arising from the cross-correlation of primordial, lensing and Rees-Sciama signals. The amplitude of the bispectrum signal is sensitive to the matter density parameter, Omega_0, and the equation of state of the dark energy, which we parameterize by w_Q. We conclude that the dataset of the Atacama Cosmology

Estimating the eigenvalues of a unitary transformation U by standard phase estimation requires the implementation of controlled-U-gates which are not available if U is only given as a black box.

The well-known algorithm for quantum phase estimation requires that the considered unitary is available as a conditional transformation depending on the quantum state of an ancilla register. We present an algorithm converting an unknown n-qubit pair-interaction Hamiltonian into a conditional one such that standard phase estimation can be applied to measure t

We show, by making conditional measurements on the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) squeezed vacuum, that one can improve the efficacy of teleportation for both the position difference, momentum sum and number difference, phase sum continuous variable teleportation protocols. We investigate the relative abilities of the standard and conditional EPR states, and

In order to determine the Wigner function uniquely, we introduce a new condition which ensures that the Wigner function has correct marginal distributions along tilted lines. For a system in $N$ dimensional Hilbert space, whose &#34;phase space&#34; is a lattice with $N^2$ sites, we get different results depending on whether $N$ is odd or even. Under the new

An approach based on using the idea of distinguished coding phase in explicit form for identification of protein-coding regions (exons) in whole genome has been proposed. For several genomes an optimal window length for averaging GC-content function and calculating codon frequencies has been found. Self-training procedure based on clustering in multidimensio

We apply the renormalisation-group to two-body scattering by a combination of known long-range and unknown short-range forces. A crucial feature is that the low-energy effective theory is regulated by applying a cut-off in the basis of distorted waves for the long range potential. We illustrate the method by applying it to scattering in the presence of a rep

We present experimental data on directed flow in semi-central Au+Au collisions at incident energies from 90 to 400 A MeV. For the first time for this energy domain, the data are presented in a transverse momentum differential way. We study the first order Fourier coefficient v1 for different particle species and establish a gradual change of its patterns as

In math.GT/0106017 it was shown that thin position on Heegaard spines can be a useful tool for analyzing the topology of knots in 3-space. The proof there (specifically, of the Goda-Teragaito conjecture) requires masses of technical detail; it is easy to lose track of the underlying ideas. The present paper gives an overview of the argument, stripped of tech
