We analyse a light curve of the symbiotic star BF Cyg, covering 114 years of its photometric history. The star had a major outburst around the year 1894. Since then the mean optical brightness of the system is in steady decline, reaching only in the last few years its pre-outburst value. Superposed on this general decline are some 6 less intense outbursts of

Recently, the HESS collaboration has reported the detection of gamma-ray emission above a few hundred GeV from eight new sources located close to the Galactic Plane. The source HESS J1813-178 has sparked particular interest, as subsequent radio observations imply an association with SNR G12.82-0.02. Triggered by the detection in VHE gamma-rays, a positionall

Various results are obtained for a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology. We derive an exact equation that determines Hubble's law, clarify issues concerning the speeds of faraway objects and uncover a "tail-light angle effect" for distant luminous sources. The latter leads to a small, previously unnoticed correction to the parallax distance formu

We investigate the impact finite simulation box size has on the structural and kinematic properties of Cold Dark Matter haloes forming in cosmological simulations. Our approach involves generating a single realisation of the initial power spectrum of density perturbations and studying how truncation of this power spectrum on scales larger than L_cut affects

We present an analysis of fine-structure transitions of FeII and SiII detected in a high-resolution optical spectrum of the afterglow of GRB 051111 (z=1.54948). The fine-structure absorption features arising from FeII* to FeII****, as well as SiII*, are confined to a narrow velocity structure extending over +/-30 km/s, which we interpret as the burst local e

Most, perhaps all, stars go through a phase of vigorous outflow during formation. We examine, through 3D MHD simulation, the effects of protostellar outflows on cluster formation. We find that the initial turbulence in the cluster-forming region is quickly replaced by motions generated by outflows. The protostellar outflow-driven turbulence (``protostellar t

The relation between X-ray luminosity and near-infrared luminosity for early-type galaxies has been examined. Near-infrared (NIR) luminosities should provide a superior measure of stellar mass compared to optical luminosities used in previous studies, especially if there is significant star-formation or dust present in the galaxies. However, we show that the

This paper deals with the problem of finding, for a given graph and a given natural number k, a subgraph of k nodes with a maximum number of edges. This problem is known as the k-cluster problem and it is NP-hard on general graphs as well as on chordal graphs. In this paper, it is shown that the k-cluster problem is solvable in polynomial time on interval gr

We study entanglement distillability of bipartite mixed spin states under Wigner rotations induced by Lorentz transformations. We define weak and strong criteria for relativistic isoentangled and isodistillable states to characterize relative and invariant behavior of entanglement and distillability. We exemplify these criteria in the context of Werner state

When solving numerical constraints such as nonlinear equations and inequalities, solvers often exploit pruning techniques, which remove redundant value combinations from the domains of variables, at pruning steps. To find the complete solution set, most of these solvers alternate the pruning steps with branching steps, which split each problem into subproble

This paper reports the synthesis and detailed characterization of graphite thin films produced by thermal decomposition of the (0001) face of a 6H-SiC wafer, demonstrating the successful growth of single crystalline films down to approximately one graphene layer. The growth and characterization were carried out in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions. The growt

We perform numerical simulations of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the mid-plane of a protoplanetary disk. A two-dimensional corotating slice in the azimuthal--vertical plane of the disk is considered where we include the Coriolis force and the radial advection of the Keplerian rotation flow. Dust grains, treated as individual particles, move under the

Placing a set of branes at a Calabi-Yau singularity leads to an N=1 quiver gauge theory. We analyze F-term deformations of such gauge theories. A generic deformation can be obtained by making the Calabi-Yau non-commutative. We discuss non-commutative generalisations of well-known singularities such as the Del Pezzo singularities and the conifold. We also int

In split supersymmetry, gauginos and Higgsinos are the only supersymmetric particles which are possibly accessible at foreseeable colliders. While the direct experimental searches, such as LEP and Tevatron experiments, gave robust lower bounds on the masses of these particles, the cosmic dark matter can give some upper bounds and thus have important implicat

Parikh-Wilczek tunnelling framework is investigated again. We argue that Parikh-Wilczek&#39;s treatment, which satisfies the first law of black hole thermodynamics and consists with an underlying unitary theory, is only suitable for a reversible process. Because of the negative heat capacity, an evaporating black hole is a highly unstable system. That is, th

We study the Non-Linear Born-Infeld(NLBI) scalar field model and quintessence model with two different potentials($V(ϕ)=-sϕ$ and ${1/2}m^2ϕ^2$). We investigate the differences between those two models. We explore the equation of state parameter w and the evolution of scale factor $a(t)$ in both NLBI scalar field and quintessence model.

A method is proposed of constructing quantum correlators for a general gauge system whose classical equations of motion do not necessarily follow from the least action principle. The idea of the method is in assigning a certain BRST operator $\hatΩ$ to any classical equations of motion, Lagrangian or not. The generating functional of Green&#39;s functions is

We present a detail analysis on the spectral lags of the short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and compare them with that of the long GRBs by using the CGRO/BATSE GRB Catalog. Our results are as follows.

We present infrared echelle spectroscopy of three Herbig-Haro (HH) driving sources (SVS 13, B5-IRS 1 and HH 34 IRS) using Subaru-IRCS. The large diameter of the telescope and wide spectral coverage of the spectrograph allowed us to detect several H_2 and [Fe II] lines in the H- and K-bands. These include H_2 lines arising from v=1-3 and J=1-11, and [Fe II] l

When attention is directed into the receptive field of a V4 neuron, its contrast response curve is shifted to lower contrast values (Reynolds et al, 2000, Neuron 26:703). Attention also increases the coherence between neurons responding to the same stimulus (Fries et al, 2001, Science 291:1560). We studied how the firing rate and synchrony of a densely inter

The electrical double layer at infinite flat solid surface was discussed with respect to the triple layer model. Charge density at the outer Helmholtz plane is assumed to be zero usually. However, the assumption causes the position of the outer Helmholtz plane to be obscure. The charge density was calculated and the condition that the charge density is negli

We study in cranked Nilsson plus random phase approximation shape transitions in fast rotating nuclei undergoing backbending, more specifically 156Dy and 162Yb. We found that a backbending in 156Dy is correlated with the disappearance of the collective, positive signature gamma-vibrational mode in the rotating frame, and, a shape transition (from axial to no

It is shown that isospin-breaking corrections to the pion-deuteron scattering length can be very large, because of the vanishing of the isospin-symmetric contribution to this scattering length at leading order in chiral perturbation theory. We further demonstrate that these corrections can explain the bulk of the discrepancy between the recent experimental d

The inner layers of a neutron star crust, composed of a Coulomb lattice of neutron rich nuclear clusters immersed in a sea of ``free&#39;&#39; superfluid neutrons, are closely analogous to periodic condensed matter systems such as electronic, photonic or phononic crystals. Applying methods from solid state physics to the neutron star context, we study the tr

We find a representation of the row-to-row transfer matrix of the Baxter-Bazhanov-Stroganov $τ_2$-model for N=2 in terms of an integral over two commuting sets of grassmann variables. Using this representation, we explicitly calculate transfer matrix eigenvectors and normalize them. It is also shown how form factors of the model can be expressed in terms of

We consider an elliptic billiard whose shape slowly changes. During slow evolution of the billiard certain resonance conditions can be fulfilled. We study the phenomena of capture into a resonance and scattering on resonances which lead to the destruction of the adiabatic invariance in the system.

We prove a uniqueness theorem for a large class of functional equations in the plane, which resembles in form a classical result of Aczel. It is also shown that functional equations in this class are overdetermined in the sense of Paneah. This means that the solutions, if they exist, are determined by the corresponding relation being fulfilled not in the ori

We construct a two-level weighted TQFT whose structure coefficents are equivariant intersection numbers on moduli spaces of admissible covers. Such a structure is parallel (and strictly related) to the local Gromov-Witten theory of curves of Bryan-Pandharipande. We compute explicitly the theory using techniques of localization on moduli spaces of admissible

Using the technique developed in approximation theory, we construct examples of exponential families of infinitely divisible laws which can be viewed as deformations of the normal, gamma, and Poisson exponential families. Replacing the differential equation of approximation theory by a q-differential equation, we define the q-exponential families, and we ide

Let p be a saddle fixed point for an orientation-preserving surface diffeomorphism f admitting a homoclinic point q. Let V be an open 2-cell bounded by a simple loop formed by two arcs joining p to q lying respectively in the stable and unstable curves at p. It is shown that f|V has fixed point index 1 or 2 depending only on the geometry of V near p.

Under the mild trace-norm assumptions we show that the eigenvalues of a generic (non Hermitian) complex perturbation of a Jacobi matrix sequence (not necessarily real) are still distributed as the real-valued function $2\cos t$ on $[0,π]$, which characterizes the nonperturbed case. In this way the real interval $[-2,2]$ is still a cluster for the asymptotic

Some results on existence of global Chebyshev coordinates on a Riemannian manifold or, more generally, on Aleksandrov surface are proved. For instance, if the positive and the negative parts of integral curvature of a Riemannian manifold M are less than 2πeach, then there exist global Chebyshev coordinates on M. These conditions are optimal. Such coordinates

Canonical formulation of quantum field theory on the Light Front (LF) is reviewed. The problem of constructing the LF Hamiltonian which gives the theory equivalent to original Lorentz and gauge invariant one is considered. We describe possible ways of solving this problem: (a) the limiting transition from the equal-time Hamiltonian in a fast moving Lorentz f

Based on the previous approach, we have investigated a possibility to resolve the discrepancy between the E710, E811 and CDF at sqrt s =1.8TeV, using the experimental data of the pp, pbar p total cross sections sigma tot(+) and rho(+)$ ratio up to the SPS experiments (sqrt s = 0.9TeV) as inputs. We predict sigma tot(pbar p) and rho(pbar p) at the Tevatron en

Reanalyses of LEP data have shown preference to two light CP-even Higgs bosons. We discuss implications of such a Higgs boson spectrum for the minimal supersymmetric model extended by a Standard Model singlet chiral superfield and an additional Abelian gauge invariance (the U(1)&#39; model). We, in particular, determine parameter regions that lead to two lig

Perturbative expansions of several small Wilson loops are computed through next-to-next-to-leading order in unquenched lattice QCD, from Monte Carlo simulations at weak couplings. This approach provides a much simpler alternative to conventional diagrammatic perturbation theory, and is applied here for the first time to full QCD. Two different sets of lattic

The notion of being totally umbilic is considered for non-degenerate and degenerate submanifolds of semi-Riemanian manifolds. After some remarks on the general case, timelike and lightlike totally umbilic submanifolds of Lorentzian manifolds are discussed, along with their physical interpretation in view of general relativity. In particular, the mathematical

The detection of gravitational waves is a very active research field at the moment. In Brazil the gravitational wave detector is called Mario SCHENBERG. Due to its high sensitivity it is necessary to model mathematically all known noise sources so that digital filters can be developed that maximize the signal-to-noise ratio. One of the noise sources that mus

We consider a model of Bose-Einstein condensates which combines a stationary optical lattice (OL) and periodic change of the sign of the scattering length (SL) due to the Feshbach-resonance management. Ordinary solitons and ones of the gap type being possible, respectively, in the model with constant negative and positive SL, an issue of interest is to find

We analyse the interplay between Dresselhaus, Bychkov-Rashba, and Zeeman interactions in a two-dimensional semiconductor quantum system under the action of a magnetic field. When a vertical magnetic field is considered, we predict that the interplay results in an effective cyclotron frequency that depends on a spin-dependent contribution. For in-plane magnet

We study a one-dimensional quantum pump composed of two oscillating delta-functional barriers. The linear and non-linear regimes are considered. The harmonic signal applied to any or both barriers causes the stationary current. The direction and value of the current depend on the frequency, distance between barriers, value of stationary and oscillating parts

Comparison is made of the electronic structure of the little-studied layered transition metal oxide LiNbO$_2$ with that of Na$_x$CoO$_2$, which has attracted tremendous interest since superconductivity was discovered in its hydrate.

We study dynamical ordering of rods. In this process, rod alignment via pairwise interactions competes with diffusive wiggling. Under strong diffusion, the system is disordered, but at weak diffusion, the system is ordered.

Spinor Bose condensates loaded in optical lattices have a rich phase diagram characterized by different magnetic order.

While the principal features of the exchange bias between a ferromagnet and an antiferromagnet are believed to be understood, a quantitative description is still lacking.

Evidence of small-scale condensations in the magnetic molecular clouds has been accumulating over the past decades through radio and optical/ultraviolet observations.

Temperature maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, as those obtained by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), provide one of the most precise data sets to test fundamental hypotheses of modern cosmology. One of these issues is related to the statistical properties of the CMB temperature fluctuations, which would have been produce

The improbability of a spontaneously generated self-assembling molecule has suggested that life began with a set of simpler, collectively replicating elements, such as an enclosed autocatalytic set of polymers (or protocell). Since replication occurs without a self-assembly code, acquired characteristics are inherited. Moreover, there is no strict distinctio

Using the family symmetry, in the neutrino mass matrix we remove the Yukawa coupling (arising in the Dirac type mass between the heavy neutrinos and light lepton doublets) dependence in the double seesaw mechanism so that it is directly proportional to the mass matrix $m^{(nn)}$ of heavy Majorana neutrinos. The family symmetry is supposed to be broken sponta

We show that geometric scaling is satisfied to good accuracy in the forward region of d+Au collisions at RHIC. Scaling violations do show up, however, at mid-rapidity, and the anomalous dimension of the small-x gluon distribution evolves to near its DGLAP limit for transverse momenta of a few GeV. This represents a first consistency check of RHIC deuteron-nu

We develop a fundamental approach to a turbulent constitutive law for the 2D inverse cascade, based upon a convergent multi-scale gradient (MSG) expansion. To first order in gradients we find that the turbulent stress generated by small-scale eddies is proportional not to strain but instead to `skew-strain,&#39; i.e. the strain tensor rotated by $45^\circ.$

Gregory L. Eyink

We develop an expansion of the turbulent stress tensor into a double series of contributions from different scales of motion and different orders of space-derivatives of velocity, a Multi-Scale Gradient (MSG) expansion. The expansion is proved to converge to the exact stress, as a consequence of the locality of cascade both in scale and in space. Simple esti

We consider the motion of a particle on a surface which is a small perturbation of the standard sphere. One may qualitatively describe the motion by means of a precessing great circle of the sphere.

This paper is devoted to two geometric constructions related to the isomonodromic method. We follow the Drinfeld ideas and develop them in the case of the curve $X=\mathbb{P}^1\setminus\{a_1,...,a_n\}$.

In this paper, we construct fields of generalized power series with bounded support which admit an exponential. We give a natural definition of an exponential, which makes these fields into models of real exponentiation. The method allows to construc

We show that the problem of the existence of universal graphs with specified forbidden subgraphs can be systematically reduced to certain critical cases by a simple pruning technique which simplifies the underlying structure of the forbidden graphs, viewed as trees of blocks. As an application, we characterize the trees T for which a universal countable T-fr

It is shown that the nonstandard representatives of Schwartz-distributions, as introduced by K.D. Stroyan and W.A.J. Luxemburg in their book &#39;Introduction to the theory of infinitesimals&#39;, are locally equal to a finite-order derivative of a finite-valued and S-continuous function. By &#39;equality&#39;, we mean a pointwise equality, not an equality i

The inversion formula is given for automorphisms of the Weyl algebras with polynomial coefficients over a field of characteristic zero. The theorem of Gabber on the degree of polynomial automorphism is extended. It is proved that any automorphism of the Weyl algebra with polynomial coefficients is determined by its left (right) faces (extending the result of

In this paper we will introduce a new notion of geometric structures defined by systems of closed differential forms in term of the Clifford algebra of the direct sum of the tangent bundle and the cotangent bundle on a manifold. We develop a unified approach of a deformation problem and establish a criterion of unobstructed deformations of the structures fro

In this paper, given a split extension of an arbitrary Coxeter group by automorphisms of the Coxeter graph, we determine the involutions in that extension whose centralizer has finite index. Our result has applications to many problems such as the isomorphism problem of general Coxeter groups. In the argument, some properties of certain special elements and

We show that the support of an irreducible weight module over the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra, which has an infinite dimensional weight space, coincides with the weight lattice and that all nontrivial weight spaces of such a module are infinite dimensional. As a corollary, we obtain that every irreducible weight module over the twisted Heisenberg-Vir

The generalized Busemann-Petty problem asks whether centrally-symmetric convex bodies having larger volume of all m-dimensional sections necessarily have larger volume. When m>3 this is known to be false, but the cases m=2,3 are still open. In those cases, it is shown that when the smaller body&#39;s radial function is a (n-m)-th root of the radial function

We present a localization proof of the fact that the cohomology of the moduli spaces of genus zero stable maps to projective spaces is entirely tautological. In addition, we obtain a description of a Bialynicki-Birula stratification in the context of Gathmann&#39;s moduli spaces of maps with prescribed contact order to a fixed hyperplane.
