We study the well pronounced Moreton wave that occurred in as- sociation with the X17.2 are/CME event of October 28, 2003. This Moreton wave is striking for its global propagation and two separate wave centers, which implies that two waves were launched simultane- ously. The mean velocity of the Moreton wave, tracked within different sectors of propagation d

In a recent FTC by Tremblay {\sl et al} (2009 {\sl J. Phys. A: Math. Theor.} {\bf 42} 205206), it has been conjectured that for any integer value of $k$, some novel exactly solvable and integrable quantum Hamiltonian $H_k$ on a plane is superintegrable and that the additional integral of motion is a $2k$th-order differential operator $Y_{2k}$. Here we demons

Motivated by phenomenological questions in quantum gravity, we consider the propagation of a scalar field on a random lattice. We describe a procedure to calculate the dispersion relation for the field by taking a limit of a periodic lattice. We use this to calculate the lowest order coefficients of the dispersion relation for a specific one-dimensional mode

Our recent neutron scattering measurements of phonons and magnons in solid α-oxygen have led us to a new understanding of the production mechanismen of ultra-cold-neutrons (UCN) in this super-thermal converter. The UCN production in solid α-oxygen is dominated by the excitation of phonons. The contribution of magnons to UCN production becomes only slightly i

Generalized Brown-Resnick processes form a flexible class of stationary max-stable processes based on Gaussian random fields. With regard to applications fast and accurate simulation of these processes is an important issue. In fact, Brown-Resnick processes that are generated by a dissipative flow do not allow for good finite approximations using the definit

We study all four types of finite-time future singularities emerging in late-time accelerating (effective quintessence/phantom) era from $\mathcal{F}(R,G)$-gravity, where $R$ and $G$ are the Ricci scalar and the Gauss-Bonnet invariant, respectively. As an explicit example of $\mathcal{F}(R,G)$-gravity, we also investigate modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity, so-ca

We present a study on the environments of the SDSS galaxies divided into fine classes based on their morphology, colour and spectral features. The SDSS galaxies are classified into early-type and late-type; red and blue; passive, HII, Seyfert and LINER, which returns a total of 16 fine classes of galaxies. We estimate the local number density, target-exclude

This paper discusses a new family of bounds for use in similarity search, related to those used in metric indexing, but based on Ptolemy's inequality, rather than the metric axioms. Ptolemy's inequality holds for the well-known Euclidean distance, but is also shown here to hold for quadratic form metrics in general, with Mahalanobis distance as an im

We present an automated generation of the subtraction terms for next-to-leading order QCD calculations in the Catani-Seymour dipole formalism. For a given scattering process with n external particles our Mathematica package generates all dipole terms, allowing for both massless and massive dipoles. The numerical evaluation of the subtraction terms proceeds w

We present a class of exact analytic and static, spherically symmetric black hole solutions in the semi-classical Einstein equations with Weyl anomaly. The solutions have two branches, one is asymptotically flat and the other asymptotically de Sitter. We study thermodynamic properties of the black hole solutions and find that there exists a logarithmic corre

We introduce a noncommutative analogue of the Figá-Talamanca-Herz algebra $A_p(G)$ on the natural predual of the operator space $\frak{M}_{p,cb}$ of completely bounded Schur multipliers on Schatten space $S_p$. We determine the isometric Schur multipliers and prove that the space $\frak{M}_{p}$ of bounded Schur multipliers on Schatten space $S_p$ is the clos

An interval in a combinatorial structure S is a set I of points which relate to every point from S I in the same way. A structure is simple if it has no proper intervals. Every combinatorial structure can be expressed as an inflation of a simple structure by structures of smaller sizes -- this is called the substitution (or modular) decomposition. In this pa

In this paper we prove a conjecture of B. Shoikhet which claims that two quantization procedures arising from Fourier dual constructions actually coincide.

We study the effects of noise and decoherence for a double-potential well system, suitable for the fabrication of qubits and quantum logic elements. A random noise term is added to the hamiltonian, the resulting wavefunction found numerically and the density matrix obtained by averaging over noise signals. Analytic solutions using the two-state model are obt

We consider the following NP-hard problem: in a weighted graph, find a minimum cost set of vertices whose removal leaves a graph in which no two cycles share an edge. We obtain a constant-factor approximation algorithm, based on the primal-dual method. Moreover, we show that the integrality gap of the natural LP relaxation of the problem is Θ(\log n), where

We present new long-baseline spectro-interferometric observations of the HerbigAe star HD163296 obtained in the H and K bands with the AMBER instrument at VLTI. The observations cover a range of spatial resolutions between 3 and 12 milli-arcseconds, with a spectral resolution of ~30.

In the baryogenesis via leptogenesis scenario the self-energy contribution to the CP-violating parameter plays a very important role. Here, we calculate it in a simple toy model of leptogenesis using the Schwinger-Keldysh/Kadanoff-Baym formalism as starting point. We show that the formalism is free of the double-counting problem typical for the canonical Bol

In the context of the semiclassical treatment of Hawking radiation we prove the universality of the reduced canonical momentum for the system of a massive shell self gravitating in a spherical gravitational field within the Painlevé family of gauges. We show that one can construct modes which are regular on the horizon both by considering as hamiltonian the

We present results demonstrating the occurrence of changes in the collective dynamics of a Hamiltonian system which describes a confined microplasma characterized by long--range Coulomb interactions. In its lower energy regime, we first detect macroscopically, the transition from a "crystalline--like" to a "liquid--like" behavior, which we ca

The placement and dimensioning of exit routes is informed by experimental data and theoretical models. The experimental data is still to a large extent uncertain and contradictory. In this contribution an attempt is made to understand and reconcile these differences with our own experiments.

For an increasing monotone graph property $\mP$ the \emph{local resilience} of a graph $G$ with respect to $\mP$ is the minimal $r$ for which there exists of a subgraph $H\subseteq G$ with all degrees at most $r$ such that the removal of the edges of $H$ from $G$ creates a graph that does not possesses $\mP$. This notion, which was implicitly studied for som

We prove that the number of "hole elements" $H(K)$ in the infrastructure of a hyperelliptic function field $K$ of genus $g$ with finite constant field $\F_q$ with $n + 1$ places at infinity, of whom $n' + 1$ are of degree one, satisfies $|\frac{H(K)}{\abs{\Pic^0(K)}} - \frac{n'}{q}| = O(16^g n q^{-3/2}).$ We obtain an explicit formula for the

We develop new solvability methods for divergence form second order, real and complex, elliptic systems above Lipschitz graphs, with $L_2$ boundary data. The coefficients $A$ may depend on all variables, but are assumed to be close to coefficients $A_0$ that are independent of the coordinate transversal to the boundary, in the Carleson sense $\|A-A_0\|_C$ de

The Horava-Lifshitz gravity, having broken the symmetry of space and time, includes three objects: the spatial metric $g_{ij}$, the lapse variable $N$, and the shift variable $N_{i}$. Each of these objects have their own scaling dimensions. The action of the theory is required to be invariant under this scaling, and spatial diffeomorphism, and the temporal f

We discuss the issue of precision gauge unification in the MSSM. We find that a comparably light gluino, as it emerges in certain patterns of soft supersymmetry breaking, can be a key ingredient for ensuring precision gauge unification without relying on the presence of extra particles around the scale of grand unification. In particular, the so-called mirag

In this paper we study the spaces of $q$-tuples of points in a Euclidean space, without $k$-wise coincidences (configuration-like spaces). A transitive group action by permuting these points is considered, and some new upper bounds on the genus (in the sense of Krasnosel'skii--Schwarz and Clapp--Puppe) for this action are given. Some theorems of Cohen--L

Let (P(t)) be the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup associated with the stochastic Cauchy problem dU(t) = AU(t)dt + dW_H(t), where A is the generator of a C_0-semigroup (S(t)) on a Banach space E, H is a Hilbert subspace of E, and (W_H(t)) is an H-cylindrical Brownian motion. Assuming that (S(t)) restricts to a C_0-semigroup on H, we obtain L^p-bounds for the gra

Sensor networks are particularly applicable to the tracking of objects in motion. For such applications, it may not necessary that the whole region be covered by sensors as long as the uncovered region is not too large. This notion has been formalized by Balasubramanian et.al. as the problem of $κ$-weak coverage. This model of coverage provides guarantees ab

XML keyword search is a user-friendly way to query XML data using only keywords. In XML keyword search, to achieve high precision without sacrificing recall, it is important to remove spurious results not intended by the user. Efforts to eliminate spurious results have enjoyed some success by using the concepts of LCA or its variants, SLCA and MLCA. However,

Random constraint satisfaction problems are interesting model systems for spin-glasses and glassy dynamics studies. As the constraint density of such a system reaches certain threshold value, its solution space may split into extremely many clusters. In this paper we argue that this ergodicity-breaking transition is preceded by a homogeneity-breaking transit

We formulate the theory of an extremely correlated electron liquid, generalizing the standard Fermi liquid. This quantum liquid has specific signatures in various physical properties, such as the Fermi surface volume and the narrowing of electronic bands by spin and density correlation functions.

A. Rényi \cite{Renyi} made a definition that gives a generalization of simple normality in the context of $Q$-Cantor series. In \cite{Mance}, a definition of $Q$-normality was given that generalizes the notion of normality in the context of $Q$-Cantor series. In this work, we examine both $Q$-normality and $Q$-distribution normality, treated in \cite{Laffer}

We discuss explicitly the details and some remarkable physical consequences of the NL/L SUSY relation between N = 2 LSUSY QED and N = 2 NLSUSY in two-dimensional space-time, which may show the potential of the SUSY composite model for the theory of everything beyond the SM.

We analyze the effects of flavor splitting from staggered fermion lattice simulations of graphene. Both the unimproved action, and the tadpole improved action with a Naik term show significant flavor symmetry breaking in the spectrum of the Dirac operator. We also measure the average plaquette term and describe how it calls for a reinterpretation of previous

It is shown that the length of the algorithmic minimal sufficient statistic of a binary string x, either in a representation of a finite set, computable semimeasure, or a computable function, has a length larger than the computational depth of x, and can solve the Halting problem for all programs with length shorter than the m-depth of x. It is also shown th

The Ghirlanda-Guerra identities are one of the most mysterious features of spin glasses. We prove the GG identities in a large class of models that includes the Edwards-Anderson model, the random field Ising model, and the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model in the presence of a random external field. Previously, the GG identities were rigorously proved only `on a

This presentation reports on the first experimental search for the decay Klong to $π^0 π^0 μ^+ μ^-$ based on data collected by the KTeV experiment. Although this decay mode is possible within the standard model, its rate is phase space suppressed.

Analytical time-dependent functions describing the change of the concentration of the solvent S(t) and the homeopathic active substance A(t) during the decimal and centesimal dilution are derived. The function S(t) is a special case of the West-Brown-Enquist curve describing the ontogenic growth, hence the increase in concentration of the solvent during pote

We introduce the BioBeta Framework, a meta-model for both protein-level and membrane-level interactions of living cells. This formalism aims to provide a formal setting where to encode, compare and merge models at different abstraction levels; in particular, higher-level (e.g. membrane) activities can be given a formal biological justification in terms of lo

The Keck telescope's HIRES spectrograph has previously provided evidence for a smaller fine-structure constant, alpha, compared to the current laboratory value, in a sample of 143 quasar absorption systems: da/a=(-0.57+/-0.11)x10^{-5}. This was based on a variety of metal-ion transitions which, if alpha varies, experience different relative velocity shifts.

We present a bigraphical framework suited for modeling biological systems both at protein level and at membrane level. We characterize formally bigraphs corresponding to biologically meaningful systems, and bigraphic rewriting rules representing biologically admissible interactions. At the protein level, these bigraphic reactive systems correspond exactly to

The liquid structure of a glass-forming binary alloy is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The analysis combines common neighbour analysis with the geometrical approach of Frank and Kasper to establish that the supercooled liquid contains extended clusters characterised by the same short range order as the crystal. Fluctuations in these clusters e

A long range Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) violating force between Dark Matter (DM) particles, mediated by an ultralight scalar, is tightly constrained by galactic dynamics and large scale structure formation.

Fundamental quantities of QCD, such as the strong coupling and $Λ_{QCD}$, are studied in the framework of lattice QCD with $N_f=2$ twisted mass fermions. In particular, the contact between lattice and continuous calculations is made by comparing the renormalized ghost-gluon vertex in MOM scheme with 4-loop perturbative results. A power correction is needed i

Certain types of globular clusters have the very important property that the predictions for their kinematics in the Newtonian and modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) contexts are divergent.

Massive black hole (BH) mergers can result in the merger remnant receiving a "kick", of order 200 km s$^{-1}$ or more, which will cause the remnant to oscillate about the galaxy centre.

Quasiparticles in semiconductors -- such as microcavity polaritons -- can form condensates in which the steady-state density profile is set by the balance of pumping and decay.

In the present work we apply the atomic approach to the single impurity Anderson model (SIAM). A general formulation of this approach, that can be applied both to the impurity and to the lattice Anderson Hamiltonian, was developed in a previous work (arXiv:0903.0139v1 [cond-mat.str-el]). The method starts from the cumulant expansion of the periodic Anderson

Positivity constraints on the LECs of $\cO(p^6)$ $χ$PT lagrangian are discussed. We demonstrate that the constraints are automatically satisfied inside the Mandelstam triangle for $ππ$ scatterings, when $N_C$ is large. Numerical tests are made in the $N_C=3$ case, and it is found that these constraints are also well respected.

The notion that the metric field in general relativity can be understood as a property of space-time rests on a feature of the theory sometimes called universal coupling -- the claim that rods and clocks "measure" the metric in a way that is independent of their constitution.

The fermionic second quantization operator $dΓ(B)$ is shown to be bounded by a power $N^{s/2}$ of the number operator $N$ given that the operator $B$ belongs to the $r$-th von Neumann-Schatten class, $s=2(r-1)/r$. Conversely, number operator estimates for $dΓ(B)$ imply von Neumann-Schatten conditions on $B$. Quadratic creation and annihilation operators are

This task is difficult because other subgap processes may mask the effects of CAR. One of these processes is the generation of

We characterise the class of probability operators belonging to the domain of attraction of Gaussian limits in the setup which is a slight generalisation of Urbanik's scheme of noncommutative probability limit theorems.

We prove the dynamical large deviations for a particle system in which particles may have different velocities. We assume that we have two infinite reservoirs of particles at the boundary: this is the so-called boundary driven process. The dynamics we considered consists of a weakly asymmetric simple exclusion process with collision among particles having di

Radial density profiles for the sample of dense cores associated with high-mass star-forming regions from southern hemisphere have been derived using the data of observations in continuum at 250 GHz. Radial density profiles for the inner regions of 16 cores (at distances $\la 0.2-0.8$ pc from the center) are close on average to the $ρ\propto r^{-α}$ dependen

We show that three-body loss of trapped atoms leads to sub-Poissonian atom number fluctuations. We prepare hundreds of dense ultracold ensembles in an array of magnetic microtraps which undergo rapid three-body decay. The shot-to-shot fluctuations of the number of atoms per trap are sub-Poissonian, for ensembles comprising 50--300 atoms. The measured relativ

Some aspects of weak sufficiency of quantum statistics are investigated. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a weakly sufficient statistic for a given family of vector states, investigate the problem of its minimality, and find the relation between weak sufficiency and other notions of sufficiency employed so far.

The arguments of the above article [arXiv:0910.3934] do not apply to the papers which it criticizes, and contain several key errors, including a fundamental misunderstanding about the equivalence principle.

Land cover classification using multispectral satellite image is a very challenging task with numerous practical applications. We propose a multi-stage classifier that involves fuzzy rule extraction from the training data and then generation of a possibilistic label vector for each pixel using the fuzzy rule base. To exploit the spatial correlation of land c

We prove that for any partition of a set which contains an infinite arithmetic (respectively geometric) progression into two disjoint subsets, at least one of these subsets contains an infinite number of triplets such that each triplet is an arithmetic (respectively geometric) progression.
