We present a categorification of four mutation finite cluster algebras by the cluster category of the category of coherent sheaves over a weighted projective line of tubular weight type. Each of these cluster algebras which we call tubular is associated to an elliptic root system. We show that via a cluster character the cluster variables are in bijection wi

We present the results obtained from an all-sky search for gravitational-wave (GW) bursts in the 64-2000 Hz frequency range in data collected by the LIGO detectors during the first year (November 2005 - November 2006) of their fifth science run. The total analyzed livetime was 268.6 days. Multiple hierarchical data analysis methods were invoked in this searc

Aperture Masking Interferometry used in combination with Adaptive Optics, is a powerful technique that permits the detection of faint companions at small angular separations. The precision calibration of the data achieved with this observing mode indeed leads to reliable results up to and beyond the formal diffraction limit, explaining why it has, in just a

High efficiency single photon detection is an interesting problem for many areas of physics, including low temperature measurement, quantum information science and particle physics. For optical photons, there are many examples of devices capable of detecting single photons with high efficiency. However reliable single photon detection of microwaves is very d

High contrast coronagraphic imaging is a challenging task for telescopes with central obscurations and thick spider vanes, such as the Subaru Telescope. Our group is currently assembling an extreme AO bench designed as an upgrade for the newly commissionned coronagraphic imager instrument HiCIAO, that addresses these difficulties. The so-called SCExAO system

We derive analytic formulas for the radiation power output when electrons are accelerated by a relativistic comoving kinetic Poynting flux, and validate these analytic results with Particle-In-Cell simulations. We also derive analytically the critical frequency of the radiation spectrum. Potential astrophysical applications of these results are discussed. A

A novel unitary quantum lattice gas algorithm is used to simulate quantum turbulence of a BEC described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation on grids up to 5760^3. For the first time, an accurate power law scaling for the quantum Kelvin wave cascade is determined: k^{-3}. The incompressible kinetic energy spectrum exhibits very distinct power law spectra in 3 ra

We provide an alternative interpretation of recently published experimental results that were represented as demonstrating entanglement between two macroscopic quantum Josephson oscillators. We model the experimental system using the well-established classical equivalent circuit of a resistively and capacitively shunted junction. Simulation results are used

The term "strong approximation" is used to describe phenomena where an arithmetic group as well as all of its Zariski dense subgroups have a large image in the congruence quotients. We exhibit analogues of such phenomena in a probabilistic, rather than arithmetic, setting. Let T be the binary rooted tree, Aut(T) its automorphism group. To a given m-t

We present the first high angular resolution observation of the B[e] star/X-ray transient object CI Cam, performed with the two-telescope Infrared Optical Telescope Array (IOTA), its upgraded three-telescope version (IOTA3T) and the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI).

Linear polymers with dendrons of first and second generations based on L-aspargic acid are studied by the methods of flow birefringence and electric birefringence. Optical, dipole, dynamic, and conformational properties of the macromolecules, as well as contributions to their optical anisotropy due to macroform and microform effects, are investigated. The po

We report a demonstration and quantitative characterization of one-dimensional cavity cooling of a single trapped 88Sr+ ion in the resolved sideband regime. We measure the spectrum of cavity transitions, the rates of cavity heating and cooling, and the steady-state cooling limit.

We present far-ultraviolet photometry obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope of the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 0513-40 in the globular cluster NGC 1851. Our observations reveal a clear, roughly sinusoidal periodic signal with $P \simeq 17$ min and amplitude 3%-10%. The signal appears fully coherent and can be modelled as a simple reprocessing effect associat

The pros and cons of various forms of atomism and holism that are applicable both in physical science and today's philosophy of nature are evaluated. To this end, Lewis' thesis of Humean supervenience is presented as an important case study of an atomistic doctrine in philosophical thought. According to the thesis of Humean supervenience, the world i

We present a simple mathematical model of glassy dynamics seen as a random walk in a directed, weighted network of minima taken as a representation of the energy landscape. Our approach gives a broader perspective to previous studies focusing on particular examples of energy landscapes obtained by sampling energy minima and saddles of small systems. We point

We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for an action of a lattice by homeomorphisms of the circle to extend continuously to the ambient locally compact group. This condition is expressed in terms of the real bounded Euler class of this action. Combined with classical vanishing theorems in bounded cohomology, one recovers rigidity results of Ghys,

There exist many physical processes that may contribute to the driving of turbulence in galactic disks. Some of them could drive turbulence even in the absence of star formation. For example, hydrodynamic (HD) or magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities, frequent mergers of small satellite clumps, ram pressure, or infalling gas clouds. In this work we present

We combine new HST/ACS observations and existing data to investigate the wavelength dependence of NIR extinction. Previous studies suggest a power-law form, with a "universal" value of the exponent, although some recent observations indicate that significant sight line-to-sight line variability may exist. We show that a power-law model provides an ex

The extended nonlinear model has been applied to construct neutron star matter equation of state. In the case of neutron star matter with non-zero strangeness the extension of the vector meson sector by the inclusion of nonlinear mixed terms results in the stiffening of the equation of state and accordingly in the higher value of the maximum neutron star mas

We present a self-consistent model for explosive financial bubbles, which combines a mean-reverting volatility process and a stochastic conditional return which reflects nonlinear positive feedbacks and continuous updates of the investors' beliefs and sentiments. The conditional expected returns exhibit faster-than-exponential acceleration decorated by a

We introduce a family of mixed finite element pairs for use on geodesic grids and with adaptive mesh refinement for numerical weather prediction and ocean modelling. We prove that when these finite element pairs are applied to the linear rotating shallow water equations, the geostrophically balanced states are exactly steady, which means that the numerical s

In this paper we discuss the relation between the unimodularity of a Lie algebroid $τ_{A}: A\to Q$ and the existence of invariant volume forms for the hamiltonian dynamics on the dual bundle $A^{*}$. The results obtained in this direction are applied to several hamiltonian systems on different examples of Lie algebroids.

The eigenvalues of a matrix polynomial can be determined classically by solving a generalized eigenproblem for a linearized matrix pencil, for instance by writing the matrix polynomial in companion form. We introduce a general scaling technique, based on tropical algebra, which applies in particular to this companion form. This scaling, which is inspired by

We have detected asymmetry in the symbiotic star CH Cyg through the measurement of precision closure-phase with the IONIC beam combiner, at the IOTA interferometer. The position of the asymmetry changes with time and is correlated with the phase of the 2.1-yr period found in the radial velocity measurements for this star. We can model the time-dependent asym

We review the idea, due to Einstein, Eddington, Hoyle and Ballard, that time is a subjective label, whose primary purpose is to order events, perhaps in a higher-dimensional universe. In this approach, all moments in time exist simultaneously, but they are ordered to create the illusion of an unfolding experience by some physical mechanism. This, in the lang

The control of internal and motional quantum degrees of freedom of laser cooled trapped ions has been subject to intense theoretical and experimental research for about three decades. In the realm of quantum information science the ability to deterministically prepare and measure quantum states of trapped ions is unprecedented. This expertise may be employed

With XMM-Newton and the Spitzer Space Telescope, we obtain upper bounds to the X-ray fluxes from G29-38 and GD 362, and the 70 micron flux from G29-38. These data provide indirect evidence that G29-38 is accreting from a tidally-disrupted asteroid: it is neither accreting large amounts of hydrogen and helium nor is its surrounding dusty disk being replenishe

Balancing a rare and serious possibility against a more common and less serious one is a familiar problem in many situations, such as the prediction of rare diseases. The relative costs of forecasting errors can be used for any prediction method that gives an estimated probability of a future event. The probability at which the likely cost (defined as cost x

Entanglement of spins is analyzed for two electrons extracted from a mixed many electron state by projecting onto the two-electron subspace. The concurrence formulae are expressed in a compact form for states with a well defined square of the total spin projection. As an example, the thermal entanglement for a qubit pair with an anisotropic Heisenberg and th

We propose a quantum feedback scheme for the preparation and protection of photon number states of light trapped in a high-Q microwave cavity. A quantum non-demolition measurement of the cavity field provides information on the photon number distribution. The feedback loop is closed by injecting into the cavity a coherent pulse adjusted to increase the proba

The group of coordinate transformations for 5D noncompact Kaluza-Klein theory is broader than the 4D group for Einstein's general relativity. Therefore, a 4D quantity can take on different forms depending on the choice for the 5D coordinates. We illustrate this by deriving the physical consequences for several forms of the canonical metric, where the fif

Following Nye and Berry's analogy with crystal dislocations, an approach to the Burgers vector of a wave dislocation (phase singularity, optical vortex) is proposed. It is defined to be a regularized phase gradient evaluated at the phase singularity, and is computed explicitly. The screw component of this vector is naturally related to the helicoidal twi

We describe the design, fabrication, and spectroscopy of coupled, high Quality (Q) factor silicon nanobeam photonic crystal cavities. We show that the single nanobeam cavity modes are coupled into even and odd superposition modes, and we simulate the frequency and Q factor as a function of nanobeam spacing, demonstrating that a differential wavelength shift

We discuss the possibilities for the direct detection of neutralino dark matter via elastic scattering in variants of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) with non-universal supersymmetry-breaking contributions to the Higgs masses, which may be either equal (NUHM1) or independent (NUHM2). We compare the ranges found in the NUHM1

The increasing availability of electronic communication data, such as that arising from e-mail exchange, presents social and information scientists with new possibilities for characterizing individual behavior and, by extension, identifying latent structure in human populations. Here, we propose a model of individual e-mail communication that is sufficiently

We report on the experimental investigation of a high-frequency (1MHz - 1.8GHz) dielectric dispersion in unpoled and poled Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramics. Two overlapping loss peaks could be revealed in the dielectric spectrum. The linear dependence between the lower-frequency peak position and average grain size D, which holds for D< 10mkm, indicates that the corresp

We compute the rate for diffractive upsilon meson production at the Tevatron and the LHC. The upsilon is produced diffractively via the subprocess gamma + p -> upsilon + p where the initial photon is radiated off an incoming proton (or antiproton). We consider the possibility to use low angle proton detectors to make a measurement of the gamma p cross-sectio

We present evidence for the first observation of electromagnetically bound $π^\pm K^\mp$-pairs ($πK$-atoms) with the DIRAC experiment at the CERN-PS. The $πK$-atoms are produced by the 24 GeV/c proton beam in a thin Pt-target and the $π^\pm$ and $K^\mp$-mesons from the atom dissociation are analyzed in a two-arm magnetic spectrometer. The observed enhancemen

We consider the high energy limit of the colour ordered one-loop five-gluon amplitude in the planar maximally supersymmetric N=4 Yang-Mills theory in the multi-Regge kinematics where all of the gluons are strongly ordered in rapidity. We apply the calculation of the one-loop pentagon in D=6-2 eps performed in a companion paper to compute the one-loop five-gl

We report a detailed magnetotransport study of the highly anisotropic quasi-one-dimensional oxide Li$_{0.9}$Mo$_6$O$_{17}$ whose in-chain electrical resistivity diverges below a temperature $T_{\rm min} \sim$ 25 K. For $T < T_{\rm min}$, a magnetic field applied parallel to the conducting chain induces a large negative magnetoresistance and ultimately, the r

We compute the one-loop scalar massless pentagon integral I_5^{6-2 eps} in D=6-2\eps dimensions in the limit of multi-Regge kinematics. This integral first contributes to the parity-odd part of the one-loop N=4 five-point MHV amplitude m_5^{(1)} at O(eps). In the high energy limit defined, the pentagon integral reduces to double sums or equivalently two-fold

In this paper, we prove that the DG category of DG complex of DG category of a differential graded algebra A is homotopy equivalent to that of comodules over the simplicial bar complex of A. Under the assuption of connectedness of A, we show the homotopy category of A-connection is equivalent to comodules on the homology of bar complex. As an application, we

We construct a hyperbolic group with a finitely presented subgroup, which has infinitely many conjugacy classes of finite-order elements. We also use a version of Morse theory with high dimensional horizontal cells and use handle cancellation arguments to produce other examples of subgroups of CAT(0) groups with infinitely many conjugacy classes of finite-or

In this work we investigate the presence of defect structures in models described by two real scalar fields. The coupling between the two fields is inspired on the equations for a multimode laser, and the minimum energy trivial configurations are shown to be structurely dependent on the parameters of the models. The trial orbit method is then used and severa

We study the asymptotic convergence properties, as the time variable goes to infinity, of trajectories of second-order dissipative evolution equations combining potential with non-potential effects. We exhibit a sharp condition, involving the damping parameter and the cocoercive coefficient of the non-potential operator, which guarantees convergence to equil

We report dynamical magnetotransport in a ferromagnetic metallic oxide, La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 using the ac impedance technique. The temperature dependence of the ac resistance(R) and the inductive reactance (X) of the complex impedance (Z = R+jX) under different dc bias magnetic fields (Hdc = 0-1 kOe) were studied for different frequencies f = 0.1 to 5 MHz of alter

We study the relaxation processes of the infinitely long-range interaction model (the Husimi-Temperley model) near the spinodal point. We propose a unified finite-size scaling function near the spinodal point, including the metastable region, the spinodal point, and the unstable region. We explicitly adopt the Glauber dynamics, derive a master equation for t

Let (U \subset {\mathbb R}^3) be an open set and (f:U \to f(U) \subset {\mathbb R}^3) be a homeomorphism. Let (p \in U) be a fixed point. It is known that, if (\{p\}) is not an isolated invariant set, the sequence of the fixed point indices of the iterates of (f) at (p), ((i(f^n,p))_{n\geq 1}), is, in general, unbounded.

We address a well-known problem in combinatorics involving the identification of counterfeit coins with a systematic approach. The methodology can be applied to cases where the total number of coins is exceedingly large such that brute force or enumerative comparisons become impractical.

The contact between a liquid and an elastic solid generates a stress vector depending on the curvature tensor in each point of the separating surface. For nanometer values of the mean curvature and for suitable materials, the stress vector takes significant amplitude on the surface.

We introduce a new method for decoding short and moderate length linear block codes with dense parity-check matrix representations of cyclic form, termed multiple-bases belief-propagation (MBBP). The proposed iterative scheme makes use of the fact that a code has many structurally diverse parity-check matrices, capable of detecting different error patterns.

A new approximate scheme, DSUB$m$, is described for the coupled cluster method. We then apply it to two well-studied (spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet) spin-lattice models, namely: the $XXZ$ and the $XY$ models on the square lattice in two dimensions. Results are obtained in each case for the ground-state energy, the sublattice magnetization and the quant

We use N-body simulations to survey the response of embedded star clusters to the dispersal of their parent molecular cloud. The final stages of the clusters can be divided into three classes: the cluster (i) is destroyed, (ii) has a loose structure, and (iii) has a compact core. We are interested in three of the governing parameters of the parent cloud: (i)

The ability to filter quantum states is a key capability in quantum information science and technology, in which one-qubit filters, or polarizers, have found wide application.

We propose a method to determine the isoscalar \bar K N scattering length on the lattice. Our method represents the generalization of Lüscher&#39;s approach in the presence of inelastic channels (complex scattering length). In addition, the proposed approach allows one to find the position of the S-matrix pole corresponding the the Lambda(1405) resonance.

In many practical situations, incertitudes affect the mechanical behaviour that is given by a family of graphs instead of a single one. In this paper, we show how the bipotential method is able to capture such blurred constitutive laws, using bipotential convex covers.

Random critical branching trees (CBTs) are generated by the multiplicative branching process, where the branching number is determined stochastically, independent of the degree of their ancestor.

We present photometry of the first reported superoutburst of the dwarf nova VSX J074727.6+065050 during 2008 January and February. At its brightest the star reached magnitude 11.4 and this was followed by a slow decline at 0.09 mag/d for 19 days, corresponding to the plateau phase. There was then a rapid decline at 1.66 mag/d to a temporary minimum at magnit

Recht, Fazel, and Parrilo provided an analogy between rank minimization and $\ell_0$-norm minimization. Subject to the rank-restricted isometry property, nuclear norm minimization is a guaranteed algorithm for rank minimization.
