A non-Hermitean random matrix model proposed a few years ago has a remarkably intricate spectrum. Various attempts have been made to understand the spectrum, but even its dimension is not known. Using the Dyson-Schmidt equation, we show that the spectrum consists of a non-denumerable set of lines in the complex plane. Each line is the support of the spectrum

Let R be an excellent local ring, m its maximal ideal and I an ideal. Then there exists a positive integer c such that for all integers n, the integral closure of (I + m^n) is contained in m^(n/c) + the integral closure of I. In the proof, a version of the linear Artin approximation theorem is proved.

Let mathcal{O}_lambda be a generic coadjoint orbit of a compact semi-simple Lie group K. Weight varieties are the symplectic reductions of mathcal{O}_lambda by the maximal torus T in K. We use a theorem of Tolman and Weitsman to compute the cohomology ring of these varieties. Our formula relies on a Schubert basis of the equivariant cohomology of \mathcal{O}

We define a complete Riemannian manifold X to be large-scale conformally rigid if all groups that are quasi-isometric to some complete Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry conformal to X are quasi-isometric to X. We prove that many 3-manifolds, including Euclidean 3-space, hyperbolic 3-space and the product of the hyperbolic plane with the real line are l

Assume $(M, ω)$ is a connected, compact 6 dimensional symplectic manifold equipped with a semi-free Hamiltonian circle action, such that the fixed point set consists of isolated points or compact orientable surfaces. We restrict attention to the case $\dim$ $H^2(M)<3$. We give a complete list of the possible manifolds, determine their equivariant cohomology

Jacques Sauloy

We show that the Newton polygon of a linear q-difference equation depends only on the corresponding q-difference module. We interpret the classical results of convergent factorisation of Adams-Birkhoff-Guenther in terms of the existence of a canonical filtration. Moreover, the associated graded module has excellent functorial (resp. tensorial) properties, wh

We study the possible growth of $PF_r$ g.f.&#39;s analytic in the unit disk and describe the proximate orders of growth of these functions. Some classical function theory results concerning orders of growth are generalized to the case of proximate orders.

If g is a quasitriangular Lie bialgebra, one can asks what is the geometrical meaning of its r-matrix. A first answer was given in a paper by Weinstein and Xu, using purely geometrical means: roughly, one has that the formal Poisson group F[[g^*]] is endowed with a &#34;braiding&#34;, i.e. a distinguished operator on its tensor square which satisfy quasitria

B. van Es, C. A. J. Klaassen, R. M. Mnatsakanov

We consider estimation of the structural distribution function of the cell probabilities of a multinomial sample in situations where the number of cells is large. We review the performance of the natural estimator, an estimator based on grouping the cells and a kernel type estimator. Inconsistency of the natural estimator and weak consistency of the other tw

We prove existence of extension dimension for paracompact spaces. Here is the main result of the paper: \proclaim{Theorem} Suppose X is a paracompact space. There is a CW complex K such that {a.} K is an absolute extensor of X up to homotopy, {b.} If a CW complex L is an absolute extensor of X up to homotopy, then L is an absolute extensor of Y up to homotop

In the joint work of T.Rivoal and the author, a hypergeometric construction was proposed for studing arithmetic properties of the values of Dirichlet&#39;s beta function $β(s)$ at even positive integers. The construction gives some bonuses for Catalan&#39;s constant $G=β(2)$, such as a second-order Apery-like recursion and a permutation group in the sense of

Michael Baake, Ellen Baake

It is well known that rather general mutation-recombination models can be solved algorithmically (though not in closed form) by means of Haldane linearization. The price to be paid is that one has to work with a multiple tensor product of the state space one started from. Here, we present a relevant subclass of such models, in continuous time, with independe

Wilhelm Winter

We analyze the decomposition rank (a notion of covering dimension for nuclear $C^*$-algebras introduced by E. Kirchberg and the author) of subhomogeneous $C^*$-algebras. In particular we show that a subhomogeneous $C^*$-algebra has decomposition rank $n$ if and only if it is recursive subhomogeneous of topological dimension $n$ and that $n$ is determined by

Momar Dieng, Albert Schwarz

We analyze in detail projective modules over two-dimensional noncommutative tori and complex structures on these modules.We concentrate our attention on properties of holomorphic vectors in these modules; the theory of these vectors generalizes the theory of theta-functions. The paper is self-contained; it can be used also as an introduction to the theory of

Let $(M, ω)$ be a connected, compact symplectic manifold equipped with a Hamiltonian $S^1$ action. We prove that, as fundamental groups of topological spaces, $π_1(M)=π_1(\hbox{minimum})=π_1(\hbox{maximum})=π_1(M_{red})$, where $M_{red}$ is the symplectic quotient at any value in the image of the moment map $ϕ$.

Albert Schwarz

We introduce a notion of $Q$-algebra that can be considered as a generalization of the notion of $Q$-manifold (a supermanifold equipped with an odd vector field obeying $\{Q,Q\} =0$). We develop the theory of connections on modules over $Q$-algebras and prove a general duality theorem for gauge theories on such modules. This theorem containing as a simplest

M. Laidlaw

We use the boundary state formalism for the bosonic string to calculate the emission amplitude for closed string states from particular D-branes. We show that the amplitudes obtained are exactly the same as those obtained from the world-sheet sigma model calculation, and that the construction enforces the requirement for integrated vertex operators, even in

B. Geyer, D. Mülsch

We show that the partially topological twisted N=16, D=2 super Yang-Mill theory gives rise to a N_T=8 Hodge-type cohomological gauge theory with global SU(4) symmetry.

W. A. Sabra

We determine the Killing spinors for a class of magnetic brane solutions with Minkowski worldvolume of the theory of AdS Einstein Maxwell theories in d dimensions. We also obtain curved magnetic brane solutions with Ricci-flat worldvolumes. If we demand that the curved brane solution admits Killing spinors, then its worldvolume must admit parallel spinors. C

We study the behavior of matrix string theory in the strong coupling region, where it is expected to reduce to discrete light-cone type IIA superstring. In the large $N$ limit, the reduction corresponds to the double-dimensional reduction from wrapped supermembranes on $R^{10}\times S^1$ to type IIA superstrings on $R^{10}$ in the light-cone gauge, which is

José F. Cariñena, Giuseppe Marmo, Manuel F. Rañada

The existence of bi-Hamiltonian structures for the rational Harmonic Oscillator (non-central harmonic oscillator with rational ratio of frequencies) is analyzed by making use of the geometric theory of symmetries. We prove that these additional structures are a consequence of the existence of dynamical symmetries of non-symplectic (non-canonical) type. The a

We propose a model for neutrino masses that simultaneously results in a new dark matter candidate, the right-handed neutrino. We derive the dark matter abundance in this model, show how the hierarchy of neutrino masses is obtained, and verify that the model is compatible with existing experimental results. The model provides an economical method of unifying

Z. Was

The status of the Monte Carlo programs for the simulation of the tau-lepton production and decay in high energy accelerator experiments is reviewed. In particular, the status of the following packages is discussed: (i) TAUOLA for tau-lepton decay and PHOTOS for radiative corrections in decays, (ii) MC-TESTER for universal tests of the Monte Carlo programs de

A. Garcia, J. L. Garcia-Luna

We improve the current predictions of the standard model for neutron beta decay observables and compare them with the currently available ones. Next we study their implications in the possible detection of new physics. We discuss where the limitations are and where further efforts should be directed.

Colin D. Froggatt

We present a discussion of the neutrino mass problem in the anti-grand unification theory based on three family replicated copies of the Standard Model gauge group (SMG). We consider two versions of the theory, with and without right-handed neutrinos, and present order of magnitude fits to the 17 measured quark-lepton mass and mixing angle variables. In the

The way a charm-quark fragments into a charmed hadron is a challenging problem both for the theoretical and the experimental particle physics. Moreover, in neutrino induced charm-production, peculiar processes occur such as quasi-elastic and diffractive charm-production which make the results from other experiments not directly comparable. We present here a

Decays of heavy mesons and of heavy hyperons are used to provide tests of the standard model and information about new mixing schemes for the $η$ and $η^{&#39;}$ mesons. These include the two body decays $B_s \to J / ψM$ and $B_d \to J / ψM$, $B \to η(η^{&#39;})K(K^\ast)$ and $Λ_b \to Λη(η^{&#39;})$, semileptonic $D$ decays, and properties of radially excite

Stefan Dittmaier

The reactions p\bar{p}/pp -> t\bar{t}H+X represent important channels in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Tevatron and the LHC. In the leading perturbative order the cross sections suffer from severe (renormalization and factorization) scale uncertainties. The next-to-leading order QCD corrections stabilize the cross sections considerably

E. Lunghi

We study the impact of recent B-factories measurements and upper limit of radiative and semileptonic rare B-decays. We present model independent constraints on the relevant Wilson coefficients and show the impact on the parameter space of some concrete realizations of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.

A. G. Akeroyd, S. Recksiegel

The purely leptonic decays D -> e nu and Ds -> e nu, for which no experimental limits exist, are highly suppressed in the Standard Model. Mere observation of these decays at the B factories BELLE/BaBar or forthcoming CLEO-c would be a clear signal of physics beyond the SM. We show that R parity violating slepton contributions can give rise to spectacular enh

We review the situation regarding d=5 proton decay in the minimal supersymmetric SU(5) GUT. The minimal theory is defined as the theory with the minimal matter and Higgs content all the way up to the Planck scale; of course, this allows for the possible presence of Planck induced physics. It can be said that either higher dimensional operators must be presen

We consider $B_s \to μ^+ μ^-$ and the muon $(g-2)_μ$ in various SUSY breaking mediation mechanisms. If the decay $B_s \to μ^+ μ^-$ is observed at Tevatron Run II with a branching ratio larger than $\sim 2 \times 10^{-8} $, the noscale supergravity (including the gaugino mediation), the gauge mediation scenario with small number of messenger fields and low me

Renormalization schemes for tan(beta) are discussed in view of their gauge dependence. It is shown that several common renormalization schemes lead to a gauge-dependent definition of tan(beta), whereas two classes of gauge-independent schemes show even worse disadvantages. We conclude that the DRbar-scheme is the best compromise.

Recently, it has been shown, contrary to previous beliefs, that the k_T distribution of quarks in a transversely polarized proton can be asymmetric. This ``Sivers effect&#39;&#39; had already been used to explain transverse single spin asymmetries (SSA) observed in inclusive pion production, p(transv. polarized) p --> pion + X and p-bar(transv. polarized) p

Marc Kamionkowski

The past few years have seen several breakthroughs in particle astrophysics and cosmology. In several cases, new observations can only be explained with the introduction of new fundamental physics. In this talk I summarize some of these recent advances and describe several areas where progress may well be made in the future. More specifically, I focus on sup

Electroweak baryon number violation may play a crucial role for the creation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the early universe. In this talk, we review the basic mechanism, which relies on the behavior of chiral fermions in nontrivial Yang-Mills gauge field backgrounds.

Hu Li, C. M. Shakin

There has been a great deal of interest in understanding the properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) for a finite value of the chemical potential and for finite temperature. Studies have been made of the restoration of chiral symmetry in matter and at finite temperature. The phenomenon of deconfinement is also of great interest, with studies of the temper

We present a calculation of the charmonium spectrum with three flavors of dynamical staggered quarks from gauge configurations that were generated by the MILC collaboration. We use the Fermilab action for the valence charm quarks. Our calculation of the spin-averaged 1P--1S and 2S--1S splittings yields a determination of the strong coupling, with $\ams(M_Z)

K. Itoh, M. Kato, H. Sawanaka, H. So

We present a lattice theory with an exact fermionic symmetry, which mixes the link and the fermionic variables. The staggered fermionic variables may be reconstructed into a Majorana fermion in the continuum limit. The gauge action has a novel structure. Though it is the ordinary plaquette action, two different couplings are assigned in the ``Ichimatsu patte

The issue of the vacuum energy of quantum fields is briefly reviewed. It is argued that this energy is normally either much too large or much too small to account for the dark energy, However, there are a few proposals in which it would be of the order needed to effect the dynamics of the present day universe. Backreaction models are reviewed, and the questi

Quantum General Relativity (QGR), sometimes called Loop Quantum Gravity, has matured over the past fifteen years to a mathematically rigorous candidate quantum field theory of the gravitational field. The features that distinguish it from other quantum gravity theories are 1) background independence and 2) minimality of structures. Background independence me

Internal friction effects are responsible for line widening of the resonance frequencies in mechanical oscillators and result in damped oscillations of its eigenmodes with a decay time Q/ω. We study the solutions to the equations of motion for the case of spherical oscillators, to be used as next generation of acoustic gravitational wave detectors, based on

Muoi N. Tran, Rajat K. Bhaduri

We consider N bosons occupying a discrete set of single-particle quantum states in an isolated trap. Usually, for a given excitation energy, there are many combinations of exciting different number of particles from the ground state, resulting in a fluctuation of the ground state population. As a counter example, we take the quantum spectrum to be logarithms

We present a systematic study of the topology of the vortex solid phase in superconducting Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8}$ samples with low doses of columnar defects. A new state of vortex matter imposed by the presence of geometrical contours associated with the random distribution of columns is found. The results show that the first order liquid-solid tr

We describe a technique for connecting a nanometer-scale gold grain to leads by atomic-scale gold point contacts. These devices differ from previous metallic quantum dots in that the conducting channels are relatively well-transmitting. We investigate the dependence of the Coulomb blockade on contact resistance. The high-resistance devices display Coulomb bl

A system of a metastable phase with several sorts of heterogeneous centers is considered. An analytical theory for the process of decay in such a system has been constructed. The free energy of formation of a critical embryo is assumed to be known in the macroscopic approach. At first all asymptotic cases are investigated and then a general intermediate solu

We calculate the fluctuating voltage V(t) over a conductor driven out of equilibrium by a current source. This is the dual of the shot noise problem of current fluctuations I(t) in a voltage-biased circuit. In the single-channel case the distribution of the accumulated phase Phi=(e/hbar)\int Vdt is the Pascal (or binomial waiting-time) distribution -- distin

The properties of phase-separated systems, e.g. manganites, close to a I order phase transition between charge-ordered insulator and ferromagnetic metal, are usually described by the percolation picture. We argue that the correlated occupation of metallic sites leads to the preferential formation of larger metallic clusters, which explains the often observed

Titus S. van Erp, Daniele Moroni, Peter G. Bolhuis

We derive a novel efficient scheme to measure the rate constant of transitions between stable states separated by high free energy barriers in a complex environment within the framework of transition path sampling. The method is based on directly and simultaneously measuring the fluxes through many phase space interfaces and increases the efficiency with at

We discuss the possible observation of a new type of standing nonlinear atomic matter wave in the condensate: the nonlinear impurity mode. It is investigated dynamical effects of a bright soliton in Bose-Einstein-condensed (BEC) systems with local space variations of the two-body atomic scattering length. A rich dynamics is observed in the interaction betwee

Recent advances in single atom manipulation have made it possible to create &#34;wires&#34; in the form of atomic scale linear structures on a semiconductor surface. If such structures are to be used in future electronic devices, it will be necessary to know to what extent they behave as one-dimensional conductors, in which the presence of electron-electron

We discuss the influence of information contagion on the dynamics of choices in social networks of heterogeneous buyers. Starting from an inhomogeneous cellular automata model of buyers dynamics, we show that when agents try to adjust their reservation price, the tatonement process does not converge to equilibrium at some intermediate market share and that l

Spin excitation spectrum is studied in the double-exchange model with randomness. Applying the spin wave approximation and the spectral function analysis, we examine excitation energy and linewidth using analytical as well as numerical methods. For small wave number $q \sim 0$, the excitation energy is cosine-like and the linewidth shows a $q$-linear behavio

We study the high- and low-voltage properties of the out-of-equilibrium Anderson model for quantum dots, using a functional method in the Keldysh formalism. The Green&#39;s function at the impurity site can be regarded as a functional of a nonequilibrium distribution function. The dependence of the Green&#39;s function on the bias voltage V and temperature T

The higher dimensional quantum Hall liquid constructed recently supports stable topological membrane excitations. Here we introduce a microscopic interacting Hamiltonian and present its exact ground state wave function. We show that this microscopic ground state wave function describes a topological quantum membrane. We also construct variational wave functi

We apply a theory for the transmission probability of small interacting systems, which was formulated based on the Kubo formalism in our previous study, to a series of quantum dots described by the N-impurity Anderson model. In this report, we present the transmission pobability for the system of N=2 calculated using the order $U^2$ self-energy and vertex co

We investigate excited states of the Shastry-Sutherland model using a kind of variational method. Starting from various trial states which include one or two triplet dimers, we numerically pursue the best evaluation of the energy for each set of quantum numbers. We present the energy difference as a function of either the coupling ratio or the momentum and c

We investigate different methods to compute the DC conductance in a quantum wire doped with some impuritied by exploiting the integrability of the theories under consideration. As an essential ingredient in all methods we evaluate the reflection and transmission amplitudes ofthe impurities for a variety of defects. When the impurities inthe wire are coupled

Olalla A. Castro-Alvaredo, Andreas Fring

This talk provides a natural continuation of the talk presented by Andreas Fring in this conference. Part I was focused on explaining how the DC conductance for a free Fermion theory in the presence of different kinds of defects can be computed by evaluating the Kubo formula. In this talk I will focus on an alternative method for the computation of the same

MgB2 wires and tapes suffer from a limitation of the transport current densities, especially at low field, due to an unsufficient thermal stabilization caused by hot spots from a non-homogeneous microstructure, the presence of secondary phases and voids.

The polarization dependence of magnetic excitations in the quasi one-dimensional antiferromagnet BaCu2Si2O7 is studied as a function of momentum and energy transfer.

A new mechanism leading to scale-free networks is proposed in this letter. It is shown that in many cases of interest, the connectivity power-law behavior is neither related to dynamical properties nor to preferential attachment. Instead, we show that without increasing the number of vertices in time and without applying the so called {\it ``rich-get-richer&

We present a detailed spectral and spatial analysis of the galaxy cluster PKS 0745-191, using recent observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The data provide information on the temperature and metallicity of the intracluster medium, the distribution of emission throughout the cluster, morphology of the cluster core, and an independent mass estimate

David A. Buote

X-ray observations with Chandra and XMM are providing valuable new measurements of the baryonic and dark matter content of groups and clusters. Masses of cD clusters obtained from X-ray and gravitational lensing studies generally show good agreement, therefore providing important validation of both methods. Gas fractions have been obtained for several cluste

A number of blue stars which appear to be similar to Population I B-stars in the star forming regions of the galactic disk are found more than 1 kpc from the galactic plane. Uncertainties about the true distances and masses of these high latitude B-stars has fueled a debate as to their origin and evolutionary status. The eclipsing binary IT Lib is composed o

Refractive optics in astronomical instruments are potentially sensitive to temperature gradients and temperature transients. This sensitivity arises from thermally dependent refractive indices, lens spacings, and lens dimensions. We have therefore undertaken a detailed thermal analysis of Binospec, a wide-field optical spectrograph under development for the

Pixel-by-pixel colour-magnitude and colour-colour diagrams - based on a subset of the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys Early Release Observations - provide a powerful technique to explore and deduce the star and star cluster formation histories of the Mice and the Tadpole interacting galaxies.

We demonstrate that there is a clear statistical correlation between the (X,Y,Z,V_r) phase-space distribution of the outer halo Galactic globular clusters (having 10 kpc <= R_GC <= 40 kpc) and the orbital path of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph), as derived by Ibata & Lewis. At least 4 of the sample of 35 globular clusters in this distance

S. G. Boutloukos, H. J. G. L. M. Lamers

We present a new method to derive the cluster disruption time in selected regions of galaxies from the mass or age distribution of magnitude-limited cluster samples. If the disruption time of clusters in a region of a galaxy depends on their initial mass as t_4 x (M_cluster/10^4 M_sun)^gamma and if the cluster formation rate is constant, then the mass and ag

We study the cluster population in a region of 3.2x3.2 kpc^2 in the inner spiral arms of the intergacting galaxy M51, at a distance of about 1 to 3 kpc from the nucleus, based on HST--WFPC2 images taken through five broadband and two narrowband filters. We found 877 cluster candidates and we derived their ages, initial masses and extinctions by comparing the

Images of the trans-Neptunian objects 1997 CQ29 and 2000 CF105 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope&#39;s WFPC2 camera show them to be binary. The two components of 1997 CQ29 were separated in our images by 0.20 arcsec in November 2001 and by 0.33 arcsec in June/July 2002.

Recurrent nova CI Aquilae has entered the final decline phase a bit before May of 2001, about 300 days after the optical maximum, showing the slowest evolution among recurrent novae.

Nonradial oscillations of relativistic neutron stars with a solid crust are computed in the relativistic Cowling approximation, in which all metric perturbations are ignored. For the modal analysis, we employ three-component relativistic neutron star models with a solid crust, a fluid core, and a fluid ocean. As a measure for the relativistic effects on the

Assuming that in the atmospheres of low-mass, metal-poor red giant stars, 1-D models based on LTE accurately predict the abundance of iron from Fe II, we derive a globular cluster metallicity scale based on the equivalent widths of Fe II lines measured from high resolution spectra of giants in 16 key clusters lying in the abundance range -2.4 < [Fe/H]II < -0

Understanding the origin of the orbital resonances of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter will constrain the longevity of the extensive volcanism on Io, may explain a liquid ocean on Europa, and may guide studies of the dissipative properties of stars and Jupiter-like planets. The differential migration of the newly formed Galilean satellites due to interacti

The continuum one-photon annihilation at psi(2S) in e+e- experiment is studied. Such contributions to the measured final state omega pi0 and pi+pi- at psi(2S) mass are estimated by phenomenological models. It is found that these contributions must be taken into account in the determination of branching ratios of psi(2S) --> omega pi0 and psi(2S) --> pi+ pi-,

We have computed the full next-to-leading (NLO) QCD corrections to the differential distributions $d^2\sigma/(dp_T~dy)$ for pseudo-scalar Higgs (A) production at large hadron colliders. This calculation has been carried out using the effective Lagrangian approach which is valid as long as the mass of the pseudo-scalar Higgs boson $m_{\rm A}$ and its transver

Isospin and flavor SU(3) relations in charmless hadronic B decays $B\to ππ, πK$ are investigated in detail with paying attention to the SU(3) symmetry breaking effects in both amplitudes and strong phases. In general, the isospin and the flavor SU(3) structure of the effective Hamiltonian provide several relations among the amplitudes and strong phases. Wher

In this paper, we paraquantize the spinning string theory in the Neuveu-Shwarz model. Both the center of mass variables and the excitation modes of the string verify paracommutation relations. Except the $[p^μ,p^ν]$ commutator, the two other commutators of Poincaré algebra are satisfied. With the sole use of trilinear relations we find existence possibilitie

We investigate the particle-number fluctuations due to the collective excitations created in a two-dimensional (2D) and a quasi-2D Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) at low temperature. We find that the fluctuations display an anomalous behavior, i. e. for the 2D BEC they are proportional to $N^2$, where $N$ is the total number of particles. For the quasi-2D B

We argue that storage rings can be used for the detection of low-frequency gravitational-wave background. We explain the systematic shrinkage of the machine circumference of the storage ring of the SPring-8, observed by Takao and Shimada (Proceedings of EPAC 2000, Vienna, 2000, p.1572), by the influence of the relic gravitational-wave background. We show tha

We show, within the circuit model, how any quantum computation can be efficiently performed using states with only real amplitudes (a result known within the Quantum Turing Machine model). This allows us to identify a 2-qubit (in fact 2-rebit) gate which is universal for quantum computing, although it cannot be used to perform arbitrary unitary transformatio

Many physical systems can be adequately modelled using a second order approximation. The problem of plant identification reduces to the problem of estimating the position of a single pair of complex conjugate poles. One approach to the problem is to apply the method of least squares to the time domain data. This type of computation is best carried out in &#3

Consider a complex classical semi-simple Lie group along with the set of its nilpotent coadjoint orbits. When the group is of type A, the set of orbital varieties contained in a given nilpotent orbit is described a set of standard Young tableaux.

We describe positive generalized functionals in Gaussian Analysis. We focus on distribution spaces larger than the space of Hida Distributions. It is shown that a positive distribution is represented by a measure with specific growth of its moments. Equivalently this may be replaced by an integrability condition.

For a locally compact group G, the convolution product on the space N(L^p(G)) of nuclear operators was defined by Neufang. We study homological properties of the convolution algebra N(L^p(G)) and relate them with some properties of the group G, such as compactness, finiteness, discreteness, and amenability.

Let the group G of m-th roots of unity act on the complex line by multiplication, inducing an action on the algebra, Diff, of polynomial differential operators on the line. Following Crawley-Boevey and Holland, we introduce a multiparameter deformation, D_c, of the smash-product (Diff # G). Our main result provides natural bijections between (roughly speakin

With the help of Kirchberg&#39;s and Selberg&#39;s theorems, we prove that the minimal tensor product of $B(H)$ with itself does not have the WEP (weak expectation property) of Lance.

We construct the holographic type nonlocal effective action in two-brane Randall-Sundrum model and show that it describes a phase transition between the local and nonlocal phases of the theory -- a cumulative effect of the tower of massive Kaluza-Klein modes. We show that the corresponding renormalization group flow interpolating between the limits of short

We summarize the results presented in the `Physics at large p_T^2 and Q^2&#39; working group at the DIS&#39;2002 Workshop. Higgs searches, precision measurements as well as searches for physics beyond the Standard Model at current and future experiments are reviewed.

We review the properties of the single spin asymmetry (SSA) in heavy quark production by linearly polarized photons and analyze the possibility to measure this SSA in the planned E160/E161 experiments at SLAC.

We present GUT models based on an $SU(5)\times SU(5)$ GUT group. These models maintain the main successes of simple-group GUTs but permit simple solutions to the doublet-triplet splitting problem. Moreover, GUT breaking is triggered by supersymmetry breaking so that the GUT scale is naturally generated as a combination of the Planck scale and the supersymmet

We review recent results by the author, in collaboration with Erwann Delay, Olivier Lengard, and Rafe Mazzeo, on existence and properties of space-times with controlled asymptotic behavior at null infinity.

We expand upon a new theoretical framework for Diffusion Limited Aggregation and associated Dielectric Breakdown Models in two dimensions [R. C. Ball and E. Somfai, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 135503 (2002)]. Key steps are understanding how these models interrelate when the ultra-violet cut-off strategy is changed, the analogy with turbulence and the use of logarit

We analyze ground-state properties of strictly one-dimensional molecular matter comprised of identical particles of mass m. Such a class of systems can be described by an additive two-body potential whose functional form is common to all substances which only differ in the energy εand range l scales of the potential. With this choice De Boer&#39;s quantum th
