We obtain some new results concerning the small deviation problem for $S=\sum_n q^n X_n$ and $M=\sup_n q^n X_n$, where $0<q<1$ and $(X_n)$ are i.i.d. non-negative random variables. In particular, the asymptotics is shown to be the same for $S$ and $M$ in some cases.

The nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy Draco with its high mass to light ratio is one of the most auspicious targets for indirect dark matter searches. Annihilation of hypothetical DM particles can result in high-energy gamma-rays, e.g. from neutralino annihilation in the supersymmetric framework. With the MAGIC telescope a search for a possible DM signal origin

We report the discovery of a light echo (LE) from the Type Ia supernova (SN) 2006X in the nearby galaxy M100. The presence of the LE is supported by analysis of both the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) images taken with the {\it Hubble Space Telescope (HST)} at $\sim$300 d after maximum brightness and the Keck optical spectrum obtained at a similar phase.

We obtain high-velocity estimates with error bounds for the scattering operator of the Schr\"odinger equation in three dimensions with electromagnetic potentials in the exterior of bounded obstacles that are handlebodies. A particular case is a finite number of tori. We prove our results with time-dependent methods. We consider high-velocity estimates where

We compute the chains associated to the left-invariant CR structures on the three-sphere. These structures are characterized by a single real modulus $a$. For the standard structure $a=1$, the chains are well-known and are closed curves. We show that for almost all other values of the modulus $a$ either two or three types of chains are simultaneously present

Withdrawn by the authors due to an error in the proof of the finite field result (Thm. 1.5): The random primes used in the proof need NOT avoid the exceptional primes from Lemma 2.7, thus leaving Thm. 1.5 unproved.

We construct spacetime supersymmetric, modular invariant partition functions of strings on the conifold-type singularities which include contributions from the discrete-series representations of SL(2, R). The discrete spectrum is automatically consistent with the GSO projection in the continuous sector, and contains massless matter fields localized on a four

Probabilities in the multiverse can be calculated by assuming that we are typical representatives in a given reference class. But is this class well defined? What should be included in the ensemble in which we are supposed to be typical? There is a widespread belief that this question is inherently vague, and that there are various possible choices for the t

Under successive Renormalization Group transformations applied to a quantum state $\ketΨ$ of finite correlation length $ξ$, there is typically a loss of entanglement after each iteration. How good it is then to replace $\ketΨ$ by a product state at every step of the process? In this paper we give a quantitative answer to this question by providing first anal

Based on a recently developed notion of physical realizability for quantum linear stochastic systems, we formulate a quantum LQG optimal control problem for quantum linear stochastic systems where the controller itself may also be a quantum system and the plant output signal can be fully quantum. Such a control scheme is often referred to in the quantum cont

The main purpose of this article is to introduce a comprehensive, unified theory of the geometry of all connections. We show that one can study a connection via a certain, closely associated second-order differential equation. One of the most important results is our extended Ambrose-Palais-Singer correspondence. We extend the theory of geodesic sprays to ce

The differential energy spectrum of cosmic rays from Cherenkov radiation measurements in EAS in the energy range of 10^15-10^20eV has been compared with an anomalous diffusion model for the particles in interstellar space having fractal properties (Lagutin et al, 2001). The close association between experimental data and calculated "all particle" spectra in

ZF is a well investigated impredicative constructive version of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Using set terms, we axiomatize IZF with Replacement, which we call \izfr, along with its intensional counterpart \iizfr. We define a typed lambda calculus $\li$ corresponding to proofs in \iizfr according to the Curry-Howard isomorphism principle. Using realizability

The inhomogeneous Zerilli equation is solved in time-domain numerically with the Chebyshev spectral collocation method to investigate a radial-infall of the point particle towards a Schwarzschild black hole. Singular source terms due to the point particle appear in the equation in the form of the Dirac $\delta$-function and its derivative. For the approximat

We study the effects of box size on ENZO simulations of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at z = 2. We follow statistics of the cold dark matter (CDM) and the Lya absorption. We find that the larger boxes have fewer pixels with significant absorption (flux < 0.96) and more pixels in longer stretches with little or no absorption, and they have wider Lya lines. W

We study the effect of confinement on diffusion limited bimolecular reactions within a lattice model where a small number of reactants diffuse amongst a much larger number of inert particles. When the number of inert particles is held constant the rate of the reaction is slow for small reaction volumes due to limited mobility from crowding, and for large rea

We relate asymptotics of Jacobi parameters to asymptotics of the spectral weights near the edges. Typical of our results is that for $a_n\equiv 1$, $b_n =-C n^{-β}$ ($0<β< \frac23)$, one has $dμ(x)= w(x) dx$ on $(-2,2)$, and near $x=2$, $w(x)=e^{-2Q(x)}$ where \[ Q(x)=β^{-1} C^{\frac{1}β} \frac{Γ(\frac32)Γ(\frac{1}β}-\frac12)(2-x)^{\frac12 -\frac{1}β}}{Γ(\fr

This is a comprehensive review of the uses of potential theory in studying the spectral theory of orthogonal polynomials. Much of the article focuses on the Stahl-Totik theory of regular measures, especially the case of OPRL and OPUC. Links are made to the study of ergodic Schrodinger operators where one of our new results implies that, in complete generalit

We investigate the rank of random (symmetric) sparse matrices. Our main finding is that with high probability, any dependency that occurs in such a matrix is formed by a set of few rows that contains an overwhelming number of zeros. This allows us to obtain an exact estimate for the co-rank.

Barry Simon

We consider OPRL and OPUC with measures regular in the sense of Ullman-Stahl-Totik and prove consequences on the Jacobi parameters or Verblunsky coefficients. For example, regularity on $[-2,2]$ implies $\lim_{N\to\infty} N^{-1} [\sum_{n=1}^N (a_n-1)^2 + b_n^2] =0$.

We justify the validity of the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation for the tight-binding approximation in the context of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a periodic potential.

We present some new results regarding simulations of finite density QCD based on a canonical approach. A previous study has shown that such simulations are feasible, at least on small lattices. In the current study, we investigate some of the issues left open: we study the errors introduced by our approximation of the action and we show how to tune it to red

Coupled and shape-tailored metallic nanoparticles are known to exhibit hybridized plasmon resonances.

VLA and Parkes 64 m radiotelescope 21-cm observations of the starburst dwarf galaxy NGC 5253 reveal a multi-component non-axisymmetric HI distribution. The component associated with the stellar body shows evidence for a small amount of rotational support aligned with the major axis, in agreement with optically measured kinematics and consistent with the smal

Feedback circuits in biochemical networks which underly cellular signaling pathways are important elements in creating complex behavior. A specific aspect thereof is how stability of equilibrium points depends on model parameters. For biochemical networks, which are modelled using many parameters, it is typically very difficult to estimate the influence of p

We present multi-wavelength observations of stellar features in the HI tidal bridge connecting M81 and M82 in the region called Arp&#39;s Loop. We identify eight young star-forming regions from Galaxy Evolution Explorer ultraviolet observations. Four of these objects are also detected at Hα. We determine the basic star formation history of Arp&#39;s Loop usi

There are (at least) three bijections from Dyck paths to 321-avoiding permutations in the literature, due to Billey-Jockusch-Stanley, Krattenthaler, and Mansour-Deng-Du. How different are they?

It is reported that terahertz radiation from 0.69 THz to 2.54 THz has been sensitively detected in a device consisting of bundles of metallic carbon nanotubes, quasi-optically coupled through a lithographically fabricated antenna, and a silicon lens. The measured data are consistent with a bolometric process and show promise for operation above 4.2 K.

Previous investigations have shown that the canonical approach to simulating QCD at finite density is promising. The algorithm we used in our earlier work employs an exact calculation of the fermionic determinant which limits the size of the lattices we can simulate. Interesting questions can only be answered if we simulate at larger volume. In this paper we

We study a simple random walk on an n-dimensional hypercube. For any starting position we find the probability of hitting vertex a before hitting vertex b, whenever a and b share the same edge.

We give two proofs that the 3-torus is not weakly d-congruent to the connected sum of three S^1xS^2&#39;s, if d>2. We study how cohomology ring structure relates to weak congruence. We give an example of three 3--manifolds which are weakly 5-congruent but are not 5-congruent.

We prove that for meromorphic maps with logarithmic tracts (e.g. entire or meromorphic maps with a finite number of poles from class $\mathcal B$), the Julia set contains a compact invariant hyperbolic Cantor set of Hausdorff dimension greater than 1. Hence, the hyperbolic dimension of the Julia set is greater than 1.

This is a response to the comment, arXiv:0709.4651. It is noted that while the comment raises an extremely interesting and subtle point, the original conclusion that theoretically consistent exceptions exist for the proposed general bound for the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density, appears to remain unaffected by the issue raised.

We present recent results from the CLEO Collaboration on leptonic decay rates of $D$ and $D_s$ near $c\bar{c}$ production threshold. From these decay rates, we extract the decay constants, f_D = (222.6+-16.7^{+2.8}_{-3.4}) MeV, f_Ds = (274+-10+-5) MeV, and the ratio f_Ds/f_D = 1.23+-0.11+-0.03.

The spontaneous breaking of of translational invariance in non-commutative self-interacting scalar field theory in two dimensions is investigated by effective action techniques. The analysis confirms the existence of the stripe phase, already observed in lattice simulations, due to the non-local nature of the non-commutative dynamics.

We have developed a new extended replica exchange method to study thermodynamics of a system in the presence of external force. Our idea is based on the exchange between different force replicas to accelerate the equilibrium process. We have shown that the refolding pathways of single ubiquitin depend on which terminus is fixed. If the N-end is fixed then th

We discuss quantum non-locality and contextuality using the notion of transition sets. This approach provides a way to obtain a direct logical contradiction with locality/non-contextuality in the EPRB gedanken experiment as well as a clear graphical illustration of what violations of Bell inequalities quantify. In particular, we show graphically how these vi

We examine the shift in the chiral condensate due to a constant electromagnetic field at ${\cal O}(p^6)$ using SU(2) chiral perturbation theory and a realistic $M_π= 140 \textrm{MeV}$. We find that this value differs significantly from the value calculated using $M_π= 0$, while the magnitude of the two-loop correction is unclear due to the uncertainty in the

We correct a mistake in the analytical expression for the energy density given in Phys. Rev. C76, 021902 (2007) [arXiv:0704.3625 [hep-ph]]. The expression should be multiplied by 16. One question then arises; how could it be possible to explain this difference between the analytical and numerical results in the same model if both are correct? We find a subtl

In this article, we illustrate the flexibility of the algebraic integration formalism introduced by M.

We show that the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data of WMAP can give subelectronvolt limit on the neutrino mass: m_nu < 0.63 eV (95% CL). We also investigate its degeneracy with other cosmological parameters. In particular, we show the Hubble constant derived from the WMAP data decreases considerably when the neutrino mass is a few times 0.1 eV.

Astronomers have constructed models of globular clusters for over 100 years. These models mainly fall into two categories: (i) static models, such as King&#39;s model and its variants, and (ii) evolutionary models.

The mean-field limit for the dynamics of bosons with random interactions is rigorously studied.

We also show that if $f$ is meromorphic, $U$ is a bounded component of

The Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey currently operates two installations, designated SuperWASP-N and SuperWASP-S, located in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively. These installations are designed to provide high time-resolution photometry for the purpose of detecting transiting extra-solar planets, asteroids, and transient events. H

Chandra or XMM-Newton observations of quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries can provide important constraints on the equation of state of neutron stars. The mass and radius of the neutron star can potentially be determined from fitting a neutron star atmosphere model to the observed X-ray spectrum. For a radius measurement it is of critical importance that the d

A proposal is made by the University College of London Group [1] for measuring the target-ionization cross sections in Ps and atom scattering. We calculate the corresponding theoretical data for Ps-H and Ps-He systems including the effect of exchange on Coulomb-Born approximation for the projectile-elastic and projectile-inelastic processes and report the to

The GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulation and experimental characterization of the Siemens E.Cam Dual Head gamma camera hosted in the Particular Hospital of Algarve have been done. Imaging tests of thyroid and other phantoms have been made &#34;in situ&#34; and compared with the results obtained with the Monte Carlo simulation.

An effective Hamiltonian which could model the interaction between a tunneling proton and the conduction electrons of a metal is investigated. A remarkably simple correlation between the motion of the $TLS$-atom and an angular-momentum change of scattering electron is deduced, at the first-order Born level, by using a momentum-space representation with plane

We have identified three possible ways in which future XMM-Newton observations can provide significant constraints on the equation of state of neutron stars. First, using a long observation of the neutron star X-ray transient CenX-4 in quiescence one can use the RGS spectrum to constrain the interstellar extinction to the source. This removes this parameter

For given graphs $G$ and $H,$ the \emph{Ramsey number} $R(G,H)$ is the least natural number $n$ such that for every graph $F$ of order $n$ the following condition holds: either $F$ contains $G$ or the complement of $F$ contains $H.$ In this paper, we improve the Surahmat and Tomescu&#39;s result \cite{ST:06} on the Ramsey number of paths versus Jahangirs. We

Definitions of fractional derivatives as fractional powers of derivative operators are suggested. The Taylor series and Fourier series are used to define fractional power of self-adjoint derivative operator. The Fourier integrals and Weyl quantization procedure are applied to derive the definition of fractional derivative operator. Fractional generalization
