We consider the Klein-Gordon equation in generalized higher-dimensional Kerr-NUT-(A)dS spacetime without imposing any restrictions on the functional parameters characterizing the metric. We establish commutativity of the second-order operators constructed from the Killing tensors found in arXiv:hep-th/0612029 and show that these operators, along with the fir

We consider the no-boundary proposal for homogeneous isotropic closed universes with a cosmological constant and a scalar field with a quadratic potential. In the semi-classical limit, it predicts classical behavior at late times if the initial scalar field is more than a certain minimum. If the classical late time histories are extended back, they may be si

We consider Jacobi matrices whose essential spectrum is a finite union of closed intervals. We focus on Szego's theorem, Jost solutions, and Szego asymptotics for this situation. This announcement describes talks the authors gave at OPSFA 2007.

The second author introduced notions of weak permutability and commutativity between groups and proved the finiteness of a group generated by two weakly permutable finite groups. Two groups H,K weakly commute provided there exists a bijection f: H -> K which fixes the identity element and such that h commutes with its image h^f for all h in H. The present pa

We reduced the problem of constructing bi-Hamiltonian structure in three dimensions to the solution of a Riccati equation in moving coordinates of Serret-Frenet frame. We then show that either the linearly independent solutions of the corresponding second order equation or the normal vectors of the moving frame imply two compatible Poisson structures.

We demonstrate that the corotation resonance affects only some non-axisymmetric g-mode oscillations of thin accretion disks, since it is located within their capture zones. Using a more general (weaker radial WKB approximation) formulation of the governing equations, such g-modes, treated as perfect fluid perturbations, are shown to formally diverge at the p

We investigate the ground state of a balanced electron-hole system in the quantum Hall regime using mean-field theory and obtain a rich phase diagram as a function of interlayer distance d and the filling factor within a layer. We identify an excitonic condensate phase, an excitonic supersolid phase, as well as uncorrelated Wigner crystal states. We find tha

We explore the impact of the short range interaction on the scattering of ground state polar molecules, and study the transition from a weak to strong dipolar scattering over an experimentally reasonable range of energies and electric field values. In the strong dipolar limit, the scattering scales with respect to a dimensionless quantity defined by mass, in

Using a set of deep imaging data obtained by the ACS on the HST shortly after its deployment, Yan, Windhorst & Cohen (2003) found a large number of F775W-band dropouts (i-dropouts), which are consistent with being galaxies at z~6. The surface density of i-dropouts thus derived, however, is an order of magnitude higher than those subsequent studies found in o

Repeat scans by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) of a 278 square degree stripe along the Celestial equator have yielded an average of over 10 observations each for nearly 8,000 spectroscopically confirmed quasars. Over 2500 of these quasars are in the redshift range such that the CIV emission line is visible in the SDSS spectrum. Utilising the width of th

This note discusses a theoretical issue regarding the application of the "Modular Response Analysis" method to quasi-steady state (rather than steady-state) data.

We present a simple numerical method for the discrete breather construction based on the idea of the pair synchronization of the particles involved in the breather vibration. It can be used for obtaining exact breather solutions in nonlinear Hamiltonian lattices of different types. We illustrate the above method using chains of the coupled Duffng oscillators

We compute the integral cohomology rings of a family of 3-groups. As a corollary, we exhibit, for each n greater than or equal to 5, a pair of groups of order 3^n whose integral cohomology rings are isomorphic.

Ian J. Leary

For each prime p, we exhibit pairs of p-groups all of whose integral cohomology groups are isomorphic. The method used involves very little calculation. The groups are exhibited as kernels of homomorphisms from a compact Lie group G to U(1), and the main result is that kernels of `similar' elements of Hom(G,U(1)) have isomorphic integral cohomology group

It is known that the adiabatic approximation in time-dependent density functional theory usually provides a good description of low-lying excitations of molecules. In the present work, the capability of the adiabatic nonempirical meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) of Tao, Perdew, Staroverov, and Scuseria (TPSS) to describe atomic and molecula

We define and study when a polynomial mapping has a local or global time average. We conjecture that a polynomial f in the complex plane has a time average near a point z if and only if z is eventually mapped into a Siegel-disc of f. We prove that the conjecture holds generically, namely for those polynomials whose iterates have the maximal number of critica

We consider the Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence with mod-p coefficients for a central extension with kernel cyclic of order a power of p and arbitrary discrete quotient group. For this spectral sequence the second and third differentials are known, and we give a description for the fourth differential. Using this result we deduce a similar formula

We use a sample of 43,690 galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 to study the systematic effects of specific star formation rate (SSFR) and galaxy size (as measured by the half light radius, r_h) on the mass-metallicity relation. We find that galaxies with high SSFR or large r_h for their stellar mass have systematically lower gas

For each odd prime p, we exhibit p-groups G of p-rank two such that (suitably defined) Chern classes of unitary representations of G fail to generate the following rings: 1. The even degree integral cohomology of G; 2. The final page of the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence for G; 3. The Brown-Peterson generalized cohomology of G. It follows that these gro

We provide a covariant derivation of plasma physics coupled to gravitation by utilizing the 3+1 formulation of general relativity, including a discussion of the Lorentz force law. We then reduce the system to the spherically symmetric case and show that all regions of the spacetime can be represented in a single coordinate system, thus revoking the need for

We develop a new approach to the theoretical treatment of the separatrix chaos, using a special analysis of the separatrix map. The approach allows us to describe boundaries of the separatrix chaotic layer in the Poincaré section and transport within the layer.

Orienteering is the following optimization problem: given an edge-weighted graph (directed or undirected), two nodes s,t and a time limit T, find an s-t walk of total length at most T that maximizes the number of distinct nodes visited by the walk.

Many sets of polarization evolution equations have been suggested to describe the method of polarization buildup by spin filtering in storage rings. In this paper a generic system of polarization evolution equations describing spin filtering is derived and solved, then we compare and contrast this system to other descriptions of spin filtering appearing in t

String compactifications with T-duality twists are revisited and the gauge algebra of the dimensionally reduced theories calculated. These reductions can be viewed as string theory on T-fold backgrounds, and can be formulated in a `doubled space' in which each circle is supplemented by a T-dual circle to construct a geometry which is a doubled torus bundle o

The current theory of alternating-current electro-osmosis (ACEO) is unable to explain the experimentally observed flow reversal of planar ACEO pumps at high frequency (above the peak, typically 10-100 kHz), low salt concentration (1-1000 $μ$M), and moderate voltage (2-6 V), even if taking into account Faradaic surface reactions, nonlinear double-layer capaci

Based on dramatic observations of the CMB with WMAP and of Type Ia supernovae with the Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based facilities, it is now generally believed that the Universe's expansion is accelerating. Within the context of standard cosmology, the Universe must therefore contain a third `dark' component of energy, beyond matter and radia

Let S(t,t') be the sigma-algebra generated by the differences X(s)-X(s) with s,s' in the interval(t,t'), where (X_t) is the fractional Brownian motion process with Hurst index H between 0 and 1. We prove that for any two distinct t and t' the sigma-algebras S(t-a,t+a) and S(t'-a,t'+a) are asymptotically independent as a tends to 0. We

Rapidly rotating, chemically homogeneously evolving massive stars are considered to be progenitors of long gamma-ray bursts. We present numerical simulations of the evolution of the circumstellar medium around a rapidly rotating 20 Msol star at a metallicity of Z=0.001. Its rotation is fast enough to produce quasi-chemically homogeneous evolution. While conv

The two-dimensional pressure driven flow of non-Newtonian power-law fluids in self-affine fracture channels at finite Reynolds number is calculated. The channels have constant mean aperture and two values $ζ$=0.5 and 0.8 of the Hurst exponent are considered. The calculation is based on the lattice-Boltzmann method, using a novel method to obtain a power-law

Dwarf galaxies pose significant challenges for cosmological models. In particular, current models predict a dark matter density that is divergent at the center, in sharp contrast with observations which indicate an approximately constant central density core. Energy feedback, from supernova explosions and stellar winds, has been proposed as a major factor sh

The Emparan-Teo non-extremal black dihole solution is reparametrized using Komar quantities and the separation distance as arbitrary parameters. We show how the potential $A_3$ can be calculated for the magnetic analogs of this solution in the Einstein-Maxwell and Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theories. We also demonstrate that, similar to the extreme case, the e

We present our latest results on near- to mid- infrared observation of SN2006jc at 200 days after the discovery using the Infrared Camera (IRC) on board $AKARI$. The near-infrared (2--5$μ$m) spectrum of SN2006jc is obtained for the first time and is found to be well interpreted in terms of the thermal emission from amorphous carbon of 800$\pm 10$K with the m

A procedure to obtain the dynamics of $N$ independent qudits ($d$-level systems) each interacting with its own reservoir, for any arbitrary initial state, is presented. This is then applied to study the dynamics of the entanglement of two qubits, initially in an extended Werner-like mixed state with each of them in a zero temperature non-Markovian environmen

Traditionally globular clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies have been distinguished by using one or more of the following criteria: (1) mass, (2) luminosity, (3) size, (4) mass-to-light ratio and (5) spread in metallicity. However, a few recently discovered objects show some overlap between the domains in parameter space that are occupied by galaxies and c

It has been suggested that a potentially large fraction of supernovae could be accompanied by relativistic outflows that stall below the stellar surface. In this letter we point out that internal shocks that are believed to accelerate protons to very high energies in these flows will also accelerate secondary mesons and muons. As a result the neutrino spectr

The extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the Bose-Einstein condensation of gases with attractive 1/r-interaction has a second solution which is born together with the ground state in a tangent bifurcation. At the bifurcation point both states coalesce, i.e., the energies and the wave functions are identical. We investigate the bifurcation point in the cont

We evaluate the deuteron charge, quadrupole, and magnetic form factors using wave functions obtained from chiral effective theory ($χ$ET) when the potential includes one-pion exchange, chiral two-pion exchange, and genuine contact interactions. We study the manner in which the results for form factors behave as the regulator is removed from the $χ$ET calcula

Recent studies based on unitary chiral perturbation theory (U$χ$PT) found that the low-lying axial vector mesons can be dynamically generated due to the interaction of the pseudoscalar octet of the pion and the vector nonet of the rho. In particular, two poles in the second Riemann sheet have been associated to the nominal $K_1(1270)$ resonance. In this talk

Guided by consideration of problems in 2 and 3 dimensional lattice model computation, we are led to define a number of new categories, and functors between these categories and the partition category, culminating in the introduction of two categories generalising the Temperley-Lieb category. We show how to compute practically in these categories, by giving a

As a model for gene and protein interactions we study a set for molecular catalytic reactions. The model is based on experimentally motivated interaction network topologies, and is designed to capture some key statistics of gene expression statistics.

Hot spots residing on the surface of an accretion disc have been considered as a model of short-term variability of active galactic nuclei. In this paper we apply the theory of random point processes to model the observed signal from an ensemble of randomly generated spots.

The explicit expressions describing the structure function g_1 at arbitrary x and Q^2 are obtained. In the first place, they combine the well-known DGLAP expressions for g_1 with the total resummation of leading logarithms of x, which makes possible to cover the kinematic region of arbitrary x and large Q^2. In order to cover the small-Q^2 region the shift Q

High-resolution synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements were performed on single crystalline and powder samples of BiMn2O5. A linear temperature dependence of the unit cell volume was found between T_{N}=38$ K and 100 K, suggesting that a low-energy lattice excitation may be responsible for the lattice expansion in this temperature range.

We describe the physical hypotheses underlying the derivation of an approximate model of water waves. For unidirectional surface shallow water waves moving over an irrotational flow as well as over a non-zero vorticity flow, we derive the Camassa-Holm equation by an interplay of variational methods and small-parameter expansions.

These are almost-graded Lie algebras of current type. In this article local cocycles and associated almost-graded central extensions are classified. It is shown that in the case that the corresponding fini

We introduce a superstatistical model for the progression statistics of malignant cancer cells. The metastatic cascade is modeled as a complex nonequilibrium system with several macroscopic pathways and inverse-chi-square distributed parameters of the underlying Poisson processes. The predictions of the model are in excellent agreement with observed survival

We present a new numerical dissipation algorithm, which can be efficiently used in combination with centered finite-difference methods. We start from a formulation of centered finite-volume methods for Numerical Relativity, in which third-order space accuracy can be obtained by employing just piecewise-linear reconstruction. We obtain a simplified version of

We show how to "concatenate" variational principles over different bases into one over a single base, thereby providing a unified Lagrangian treatment of interacting systems. As an example we study a Klein-Gordon field interacting with a mesically charged particle. We employ our method to give a novel group-theoretic derivation of the kinetic stress-

In this talk some classical and quantum aspects concerning a special kind of integrable defect - called a jump-defect - will be reviewed. In particular, recent results obtained in an attempt to incorporate this defect in the affine Toda field theories, in addition to the sine-Gordon model, will be presented.

We show that the arguments against our paper raised by B. Davids et al. are either irrelevant or incorrect.

The appearance of folding ion rays in cometary comae is still not very well understood, so our aim is to gain more insight into the role of the local solar wind in the formation of these structures. Comet C/2004 Q2 (Machholz) was intensively monitored during its closest approach to Earth (January 2005) with the CCD camera Merope mounted on the Flemish 1.2m M

Holst action containing Immirzi parameter for pure gravity is generalised to the supergravity theories. Supergravity equations of motion are not modified by such generalisations, thus preserving supersymmetry. Dependence on the Immirzi parameter does not emerge in the classical equations of motion. This is in contrast with the recent observation of Perez and
