0704.1901 | Saikat Guha | Saikat Guha, Jeffrey H. Shapiro | Classical Information Capacity of the Bosonic Broadcast Channel | 5 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Proceedings of ISIT 2007 | null | null | null | quant-ph | null | We show that when coherent-state encoding is employed in conjunction with
coherent detection, the Bosonic broadcast channel is equivalent to a classical
degraded Gaussian broadcast channel whose capacity region is dual to that of
the classical Gaussian multiple-access channel. We further show that if a
minimum output-entropy conjecture holds true, then the ultimate classical
information capacity of the Bosonic broadcast channel can be achieved by a
coherent-state encoding. We provide some evidence in support of the conjecture.

and second-order glass transitions of vortices in
Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$. Doping affects both anisotropy and
disorder. Anisotropy scaling is shown to collapse the melting lines only where
thermal fluctuations are dominant. Yet, in the region where disorder breaks
that scaling, the glass lines are still collapsed. A quantitative fit to
melting and replica symmetry breaking lines of a 2D Ginzburg-Landau model
further reveals that disorder amplitude weakens with doping, but to a lesser
degree than thermal fluctuations, enhancing the relative role of disorder.

Maruyama, Yukio Yamaguchi | Growth window and possible mechanism of millimeter-thick single-walled
carbon nanotube forests | 6 pages, 6 figures. Submitted to J. Nanosci. Nanotech | null | null | null | cond-mat.mtrl-sci | null | Our group recently reproduced the water-assisted growth method, so-called
"super growth", of millimeter-thick single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)
forests by using C2H4/ H2/ H2O/ Ar reactant gas and Fe/ Al2O3 catalyst. In this
current work, a parametric study was carried out on both reaction and catalyst
conditions. Results revealed that a thin Fe catalyst layer (about 0.5 nm)
yielded rapid growth of SWNTs only when supported on Al2O3, and that Al2O3
support enhanced the activity of Fe, Co, and Ni catalysts. The growth window
for the rapid SWNT growth was narrow, however. Optimum amount of added H2O
increased the SWNT growth rate but further addition of H2O degraded both the
SWNT growth rate and quality. Addition of H2 was also essential for rapid SWNT
growth, but again, further addition decreased both the SWNT growth rate and
quality. Because Al2O3 catalyzes hydrocarbon reforming, Al2O3 support possibly
enhances the SWNT growth rate by supplying the carbon source to the catalyst
nanoparticles. The origin of the narrow window for rapid SWNT growth will also
be discussed.

turbulence at small Reynolds numbers. It is also shown that for moderate
Reynolds numbers the bottleneck effect is determined by the same nonlocal
interactions. Role of the large and small scales covariance at the nonlocal

hydrodynamic mechanism of the nonlocal solution instability at large scales has
been briefly discussed. A quantitative relationship between effective strain of
the nonlocal interactions and viscosity has been found. All results are
supported by comparison with the data of experiments and numerical simulations.

Sitter space and construct the renormalization group improved renormalized
effective theory at the one-loop level. Based on the corresponding quantum
Friedmann equation and the scalar field equation of motion, we calculate the
quantum radiative corrections to the scalar spectral index n_s, gravitational
wave spectral index n_g and the ratio r of tensor to scalar perturbations. When
compared with the standard (tree-level) values, we find that the quantum
contributions are suppressed by lambda N^2 where N denotes the number of
e-foldings. Hence there is an N^2 enhancement with respect to the naive
expectation, which is due to the infrared enhancement of scalar vacuum
fluctuations characterising de Sitter space. Since observations constrain
lambda to be very small lambda ~ 10^(-12) and N ~ 50-60, the quantum
corrections in this inflationary model are unobservably small.

correlation effects on the band structure of oxide systems. We choose MgO as a
prototype closed-shell ionic oxide. Our analysis is based on a local
Hamiltonian approach and performed on finite fragments cut from the infinite
solid. Localized Wannier functions and embedding potentials are obtained from
prior periodic Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations. We investigate the role of
various electron correlation effects in reducing the HF band gap and modifying
the band widths. On-site and nearest-neighbor charge relaxation as well as
long-range polarization effects are calculated. Whereas correlation effects are
essential for computing accurate band gaps, we found that they produce smaller
changes on the HF band widths, at least for this material. Surprisingly, a
broadening effect is obtained for the O 2p valence bands. The ab initio data
are in good agreement with the energy gap and band width derived from
thermoreflectance and x-ray photoemission experiments. The results show that
the wavefunction based approach applied here allows for well controlled
approximations and a transparent identification of the microscopic processes
which determine the electronic band structure.

highly-evolved, variable, intermediate-mass (4-6 Msun) AGB stars in the LMC and
SMC in order to look for C, N and O variations that are expected to arise from
third dredge-up and hot-bottom burning. The pulsation of the objects has been
modelled, yielding stellar masses, and spectral synthesis calculations have
been performed in order to derive abundances from the observed spectra. For two
stars, abundances of C, N, O, Na, Al, Ti, Sc and Fe were derived and compared
with the abundances predicted by detailed AGB models. Both stars show very
large N enhancements and C deficiencies. These results provide the first
observational confirmation of the long-predicted production of primary nitrogen
by the combination of third dredge-up and hot-bottom burning in
intermediate-mass AGB stars. It was not possible to derive abundances for the
remaining five stars: three were too cool to model, while another two had
strong shocks in their atmospheres which caused strong emission to fill the
line cores and made abundance determination impossible. The latter occurrence
allows us to predict the pulsation phase interval during which observations
should be made if successful abundance analysis is to be possible.

the Kepler satellite. Kepler's extreme photometric precision gives access to
low-amplitude stellar variability contributed by a variety of physical
processes. We discuss in detail the periodic flux modulations arising from the
tidal force on the star due to a substellar companion. An analytic expression
for the variability is derived in the equilibrium-tide approximation. We
demonstrate analytically and through numerical solutions of the linear,
nonadiabatic stellar oscillation equations that the equilibrium-tide formula
works extremely well for stars of mass <1.4 Msun with thick surface convection
zones. More massive stars with largely radiative envelopes do not conform to
the equilibrium-tide approximation and can exhibit flux variations $\ga$10
times larger than naive estimates. Over the full range of stellar masses
considered, we treat the oscillatory response of the convection zone by
adapting a prescription that A. J. Brickhill developed for pulsating white
dwarfs. Compared to other sources of periodic variability, the ellipsoidal
lightcurve has a distinct dependence on time and system parameters. We suggest
that ellipsoidal oscillations induced by giant planets may be detectable from
as many as ~100 of the 10^5 Kepler target stars. (Abridged)

lattice | null | null | 10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.218102 | null | cond-mat.soft | null | We develop a general theory of microtubule (MT) deformations by molecular
motors generating internal force doublets within the MT lattice. We describe
two basic internal excitations, the S and V shape, and compare them with
experimental observations from literature. We explain the special role of
tubulin vacancies and the dramatic deformation amplifying effect observed for
katanin acting at positions of defects. Experimentally observed shapes are used
to determine the ratio of MT shear and stretch moduli ($\approx
6\times10^{-5}$) and to estimate the forces induced in the MT lattice by
katanin (10's of pN). For many motors acting on a single MT we derive
expressions for the end-to-end distance reduction and provide criteria for
dominance of this new effect over thermal fluctuations. We conclude that
molecular motors if acting cooperatively can ''animate'' MTs from within the
lattice and induce slack even without cross-bridging to other structures, a
scenario very much reminiscent of the motor driven axoneme.

The analysis completes the previous analyses where similar corrections were

H^{0}_l$ and for $\bar{t} t H^{0}_l$ couplings within the minimal
supersymmetric standard model. The effective one loop Lagrangian is then
applied to the computation of the neutral Higgs decays. The sizes of the
supersymmetric loop corrections of the neutral Higgs decay widths into
$\chi^{+}_i \chi^{-}_j$ ($i=1,2$; $j=1,2$) are investigated and the
supersymmetric loop correction is found to be in the range of $7\sim15%$ in
significant regions of the parameter space. By including the loop corrections
of the other decay channels $\bar{b} b$, $\bar{t} t$, $\bar{\tau} \tau$,
$\bar{c} c$, and $\chi^0_i \chi^0_j$ ($i=1-4$; $j=1-4$), the corrections to
branching ratios for $H^{0}_l\to \chi^{+}_i \chi^{-}_j$ can reach as high as
40%.
The effects of CP phases on the branching ratio are also investigated.

magnitude of the Yarkovsky effect | Icarus (30/03/2007) in press | null | 10.1016/j.icarus.2007.03.007 | null | astro-ph | null | Thermal inertia determines the temperature distribution over the surface of
an asteroid and therefore governs the magnitude the Yarkovsky effect. The
latter causes gradual drifting of the orbits of km-sized asteroids and plays an
important role in the delivery of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) from the main
belt and in the dynamical spreading of asteroid families. At present, very
little is known about the thermal inertia of asteroids in the km size range.
Here we show that the average thermal inertia of a sample of NEAs in the
km-size range is 200 $\pm$ 40 J m−2 s−0.5 K−1. Furthermore,
we identify a trend of increasing thermal inertia with decreasing asteroid
diameter, D. This indicates that the dependence of the drift rate of the
orbital semimajor axis on the size of asteroids due to the Yarkovsky effect is
a more complex function than the generally adopted D^(−1) dependence, and
that the size distribution of objects injected by Yarkovsky-driven orbital
mobility into the NEA source regions is less skewed to smaller sizes than
generally assumed. We discuss how this fact may help to explain the small
difference in the slope of the size distribution of km-sized NEAs and main-belt
asteroids.

calculations is a momentum-space representation of the leads, which allows a
high energy resolution. Further, we demonstrate that these results are
independent of the high-energy cutoff and that the relevant scale is set by the
Fermi velocity.

removal (filtering) of vacuum states from an arbitrary set of coherent states
of continuous variable systems. Errors i.e. vacuum states in the quantum
information are diagnosed through a weak measurement, and on that basis,
probabilistically filtered out. We consider three different filters based on
on/off detection phase stabilized and phase randomized homodyne detection. We
find that on/off etection, optimal in the ideal theoretical setting, is
superior to the homodyne strategy in a practical setting.

the OGLE transit survey and assign them planetary companions based on radial
velocimetry discoveries. We use a model of the evolution and structure of giant
planets assuming a variable fraction of heavy elements. The output list of
detectable planets of the simulations is compared to the real detections. We
confirm that the radial velocimetry and photometric survey data sets are
compatible within the statistical errors, assuming that planets with periods
between 1 and 2 days are approximately 5 times less frequent than planets with
periods between 2 and 5 days. We show that evolution models fitting present
observational constraints predict a lack of small giant planets with large
masses. We also identify distinct populations of planets: those with short
periods (P < 10d) are only found in orbit around metal-rich stars with [Fe/H] >
-0.07. We further confirm the relative absence of low-mass giant planets at
small orbital distances.

global perturbations of geometrically thin, optically thick accretion disks

of the gravitational field. For instance, the frequencies of the normal mode
oscillations can be used to determine the elusive angular momentum parameter of
the black hole. The general formalism developed by diskoseismologists for
relativistic systems can be readily applied to the Newtonian case of
cataclysmic variables (CVs). Some of these systems (e.g., the dwarf nova SS
Cygni) show rapid oscillations in the UV with periods of tens of seconds and
high coherence. In this paper, we assess the possibility that these dwarf nova
oscillations (DNOs) are diskoseismic modes. Besides its importance in
investigating the physical origin of DNOs, the present work could help us to
answer the following question. To what extent are the similarities in the
oscillation phenomenology of CVs and X-ray binaries (XRBs) indicative of a
common physical mechanism?

induces an isomorphism of the corresponding $C$-complexes. We also give a
couple of characterizations of quasiconvexity. of subgroups of hyperbolic

appropriate organic material (DCM2:CA:PS 'solid-state solvent'). The quadrupole
origin of the inorganic part of the quadrupole-dipole hybrid provides inversion
symmetry breaking and the organic part contributes to the oscillator strength
of the hybrid. We show that the enhancement of the SHG, compared to bulk
cuprous oxide crystal, is proportional to the ratio of the DCM2 dipole moment
and the effective dipole moment of the quadrupole transitions in the cuprous
oxide. It is also inversely proportional to the line-width of the hybrid and
bulk excitons. The enhancement may be regulated by adjusting the organic blend
(mutual concentration of the DCM2 and CA part of the solvent) and pumping
conditions(varying the angle of incidence in case of optical pumping or
populating the minimum of the lower branch of the hybrid in case of electrical
pumping).

on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC), Helsinki,
Finland, June 17-20, 2007 | null | null | null | cs.IT math.IT | null | In spatially distributed multiuser antenna systems, the received signal
contains multiple carrier-frequency offsets (CFOs) arising from mismatch
between the oscillators of transmitters and receivers. This results in a
time-varying rotation of the data constellation, which needs to be compensated
at the receiver before symbol recovery. In this paper, a new approach for blind
CFO estimation and symbol recovery is proposed. The received base-band signal
is over-sampled, and its polyphase components are used to formulate a virtual
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) problem. By applying blind MIMO system
estimation techniques, the system response can be estimated and decoupled
versions of the user symbols can be recovered, each one of which contains a
distinct CFO. By applying a decision feedback Phase Lock Loop (PLL), the CFO
can be mitigated and the transmitted symbols can be recovered. The estimated
MIMO system response provides information about the CFOs that can be used to
initialize the PLL, speed up its convergence, and avoid ambiguities usually
linked with PLL.

of the Laguerre weight. In the scaling to the hard edge regime we find an
analogous situation where a certain Painlev\'e \IIId system and its associated
linear isomonodromic system characterise the scaled distribution. We undertake
extensive analytical studies of this system and use this knowledge to
accurately compute the distribution and its moments for various values of the
parameter $ a $. In particular choosing $ a=\pm 1/2 $ allows the first
eigenvalue spacing distribution for random real orthogonal matrices to be
computed.

previous work we have shown that to the second-order perturbations, the density
and velocity perturbation equations of general relativistic zero-pressure,
irrotational, single-component fluid in a flat background coincide exactly with
the ones known in Newton's theory. Here, we present the general relativistic
second-order correction terms arising due to (i) pressure, (ii)
multi-component, (iii) background curvature, and (iv) rotation. In case of
multi-component zero-pressure, irrotational fluids under the flat background,
we effectively do not have relativistic correction terms, thus the relativistic
result again coincides with the Newtonian ones. In the other three cases we
generally have pure general relativistic correction terms. In case of pressure,
the relativistic corrections appear even in the level of background and linear
perturbation equations. In the presence of background curvature, or rotation,
pure relativistic correction terms directly appear in the Newtonian equations
of motion of density and velocity perturbations to the second order. In the
small-scale limit (far inside the horizon), relativistic equations including
the rotation coincide with the ones in Newton's gravity.

(LANS) for significantly higher Reynolds numbers (up to Re 8300) than have
previously been accomplished. This allows sufficient separation of scales to
observe a Navier-Stokes (NS) inertial range followed by a 2nd LANS inertial
range. The analysis of the third-order structure function scaling supports the
predicted l^3 scaling; it corresponds to a k^(-1) scaling of the energy
spectrum. The energy spectrum itself shows a different scaling which goes as
k^1. This latter spectrum is consistent with the absence of stretching in the
sub-filter scales due to the Taylor frozen-in hypothesis employed as a closure
in the derivation of LANS. These two scalings are conjectured to coexist in
different spatial portions of the flow. The l^3 (E(k) k^(-1)) scaling is
subdominant to k^1 in the energy spectrum, but the l^3 scaling is responsible
for the direct energy cascade, as no cascade can result from motions with no
internal degrees of freedom. We verify the prediction for the size of the LANS
attractor resulting from this scaling. From this, we give a methodology either
for arriving at grid-independent solutions for LANS, or for obtaining a
formulation of a LES optimal in the context of the alpha models. The fully
converged grid-independent LANS may not be the best approximation to a direct
numerical simulation of the NS equations since the minimum error is a balance
between truncation errors and the approximation error due to using LANS instead
of the primitive equations. Furthermore, the small-scale behavior of LANS
contributes to a reduction of flux at constant energy, leading to a shallower
energy spectrum for large alpha. These small-scale features, do not preclude
LANS to reproduce correctly the intermittency properties of high Re flow.

blowup in resources. In contrast, our approach uses continuous variables and
highly efficient measurements. We present a two-qubit scheme, with a simple
homodyne measurement system yielding an entangling operation with success
probability 1/2. Then we extend this to a three-qubit interaction, increasing
this probability to 3/4. We discuss the important issues of the overhead cost
and the time scaling, showing how these can be vastly improved with access to
this new probability range.

lensing and the matter overdensity. Alternative theories of gravity often make
different predictions for this relationship. We propose a set of measurements
which can test the lensing/matter relationship, thereby distinguishing between
dark energy/matter models and models in which gravity differs from general
relativity. Planned optical, infrared and radio galaxy and lensing surveys will
be able to measure $E_G$, an observational quantity whose expectation value is
equal to the ratio of the Laplacian of the Newtonian potentials to the peculiar
velocity divergence, to percent accuracy. We show that this will easily
separate alternatives such as $\Lambda$CDM, DGP, TeVeS and $f(R)$ gravity.

with boundary on the lattice. We also demonstrate how we use this to calculate
the driving function numerically. Equivalent results for other variants of the
Loewner differential equation are also obtained: Multiple slits in the chordal
Loewner differential equation and the radial Loewner differential equation. The
method also works for other versions of the Loewner differential equation. The
proof of our formula uses a generalization of Schwarz-Christoffel mapping to
domains bounded by trajectory arcs of rotations of a given quadratic
differential that is of interest in its own right.

Phys. 37, 3 (2007) | 10.1007/s10701-006-9093-5 | null | quant-ph math-ph math.MP | null | A geometric approach to quantum mechanics with unitary evolution and
non-unitary collapse processes is developed. In this approach the Schrodinger
evolution of a quantum system is a geodesic motion on the space of states of
the system furnished with an appropriate Riemannian metric. The measuring
device is modeled by a perturbation of the metric. The process of measurement
is identified with a geodesic motion of state of the system in the perturbed
metric. Under the assumption of random fluctuations of the perturbed metric,
the Born rule for probabilities of collapse is derived. The approach is applied
to a two-level quantum system to obtain a simple geometric interpretation of
quantum commutators, the uncertainty principle and Planck's constant. In light
of this, a lucid analysis of the double-slit experiment with collapse and an
experiment on a pair of entangled particles is presented.

SUSY | Phys.Rev.D77:105028,2008 | 10.1103/PhysRevD.77.105028 | null | hep-th | null | The main goal of this work is to investigate the possibility of finding the
supersymmetric version of the U(1)-global string model which behaves as a
vortex-superfluid. To describe the superfluid phase, we introduce a
Lorentz-symmetry breaking background that, in an approach based on
supersymmetry, leads to a discussion on the relation between the violation of
Lorentz symmetry and explicit soft supersymmetry breakings. We also study the
relation between the string configuration and the vortex-superfluid phase. In
the framework we settle down in terms of superspace and superfields, we
actually establish a duality between the vortex degrees of freedom and the
component fields of the Kalb-Ramond superfield. We make also considerations
about the fermionic excitations that may appear in connection with the vortex
formation.

simulations of Pop III stars. Changing the initial distributions of rotation
and magnetic fields prior to collapse in a parametric manner, we compute 19
models. By so doing, we systematically investigate how rotation and magnetic
fields affect the collapse dynamics and explore how the properties of the
black-hole formations and neutrino emissions could be affected. As for the
microphysics, we employ a realistic equation of state and approximate the
neutrino transfer by a multiflavour leakage scheme. With these computations, we
find that the jet-like explosions are obtained by the magnetodriven shock waves
if the initial magnetic field is as large as $10^{12}$ G. We point out that the
black-hole masses at the formation decrease with the initial field strength, on
the other hand, increase with the initial rotation rates. As for the neutrino
properties, we point out that the degree of the differential rotation plays an
important role to determine which species of the neutrino luminosity is more
dominant than the others. Furthermore, we find that the stronger magnetic
fields make the peak neutrino luminosities smaller, because the magnetic
pressure acts to halt the collapse in the central regions, leading to the
suppression of the releasable gravitational binding energies.

a weaker condition which we call "rime". Rime solutions include the standard
Drinfeld-Jimbo R-matrix. Solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation within the rime
Ansatz which are maximally different from the standard one we call "strict
rime". A strict rime non-unitary solution is parameterized by a projective
vector. We show that this solution transforms to the Cremmer-Gervais R-matrix
by a change of basis with a matrix containing symmetric functions in the
components of the parameterizing vector. A strict unitary solution (the rime
Ansatz is well adapted for taking a unitary limit) is shown to be equivalent to
a quantization of a classical "boundary" r-matrix of Gerstenhaber and
Giaquinto. We analyze the structure of the elementary rime blocks and find, as
a by-product, that all non-standard R-matrices of GL(1|1)-type can be uniformly
described in a rime form.
We discuss then connections of the classical rime solutions with the Bezout
operators. The Bezout operators satisfy the (non-)homogeneous associative
classical Yang--Baxter equation which is related to the Rota-Baxter operators.
We classify the rime Poisson brackets: they form a 3-dimensional pencil. A
normal form of each individual member of the pencil depends on the discriminant
of a certain quadratic polynomial. We also classify orderable quadratic rime
associative algebras.
For the standard Drinfeld-Jimbo solution, there is a choice of the
multiparameters, for which it can be non-trivially rimed. However, not every
Belavin-Drinfeld triple admits a choice of the multiparameters for which it can
be rimed. We give a minimal example.

characterizations of their spectra are of interest for various applications. We
experimentally investigate micro-lasers of simple shapes (Fabry-Perot, square,

peaks and the distance between peaks reveals the length of a quantized periodic
orbit. To measure this length with a good precision, it is necessary to take
into account different sources of refractive index dispersion. Our experimental
and numerical results agree with the superscar model describing the formation
of long-lived states in polygonal cavities. The limitations of the
two-dimensional approximation are briefly discussed in connection with
micro-disks.

Lett. 100, 218701 (2008) | 10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.218701 | null | physics.soc-ph physics.class-ph | null | We study cascading failures in networks using a dynamical flow model based on
simple conservation and distribution laws to investigate the impact of
transient dynamics caused by the rebalancing of loads after an initial network
failure (triggering event). It is found that considering the flow dynamics may
imply reduced network robustness compared to previous static overload failure
models. This is due to the transient oscillations or overshooting in the loads,
when the flow dynamics adjusts to the new (remaining) network structure. We
obtain {\em upper} and {\em lower} limits to network robustness, and it is
shown that {\it two} time scales $\tau$ and $\tau_0$, defined by the network
dynamics, are important to consider prior to accurately addressing network
robustness or vulnerability. The robustness of networks showing cascading
failures is generally determined by a complex interplay between the network
topology and flow dynamics, where the ratio $\chi=\tau/\tau_0$ determines the
relative role of the two of them.

that diffuse interfaces may collapse in the limit. We therefore consider the

generalized reduced action functional in a class of evolving measures. As a

high-luminosity quasars | 6 pages, 5 figures, A&A in press | null | 10.1051/0004-6361:20077237 | null | astro-ph | null | It has been shown that the luminosity of AGNs and the size of their broad
line region obey a simple relation of the type R=a L^g, from faint Seyfert
nuclei to bright quasars, allowing single-epoch determination of the central
black hole mass M=b L^g D^2 from their luminosity L and width of H_beta
emission line. Adopting this mass determination for cosmological studies
requires the extrapolation to high z and L of a relation whose calibration
relies so far on reverberation mapping measurements performed for L<10^46 erg/s
and z<0.4. We initiated a campaign for the monitoring of a few luminous,
intermediate z quasars whose apparent magnitude V<15.7 allows observations with
a 1.8m telescope, aimed at proving that emission lines vary and respond to
continuum variations even for luminosities >10^47 erg/s, and determining
eventually their M_BH from reverberation mapping. We have repeatedly performed
simultaneous observations of quasars and reference stars to determine relative
variability of continuum and emission lines. We describe the observations and
methods of analysis. For the quasars PG1634+706 and PG1247+268 we obtain
light-curves respectively for CIII], MgII and for CIV, CIII] emission lines
with the relevant continua. During 3.2 years of observation, in the former case
no continuum variability has been detected and the evidence for line
variability is marginal, while in the latter case both continuum and line
variability are detected with high significance and the line variations appear
correlated with continuum variations. The detection of the emission line
variability in a quasar with L~10^47 erg/s encourages the prosecution of the
campaign which should provide a black hole mass estimate in other 5-6 years,
constraining the M_BH-L relation in a poorly explored range of luminosity.

three-state electronic system with relaxation treated as a diffusion on
electronic potential energy surfaces. We have shown that ESA has a profound
effect on coherent population transfer in large molecules that necessitates a
more accurate interpretation of experimental data. A simple and physically
clear model for ARP in molecules with three electronic states in solution has
been developed by extending the Landau-Zener calculations putting in a third
level to random crossing of levels. A method for quantum control of two-exciton
states in molecular complexes has been proposed.

laser beam passing through a magnetic field are interpreted by an axion-like
particle, it is almost certain that it is not a standard QCD axion. Considering
this, we study the general effective interactions of photons with spin-zero
particles without restricting the latter to be a pseudo-scalar or a scalar,
i.e., a parity eigenstate. At the lowest order in effective field theory, there
are two dimension-5 interactions, each of which has previously been treated
separately for a pseudo-scalar or a scalar particle. By following the evolution
in an external magnetic field of the system of spin-zero particles and photons,
we compute the changes in light polarization and the transition probability for
two experimental set-ups: one-way propagation and round-trip propagation. While
the first may be relevant for astrophysical sources of spin-zero particles, the
second applies to laboratory optical experiments like PVLAS. In the one-way
propagation, interesting phenomena can occur for special configurations of
polarization where, for instance, transition occurs but light polarization does
not change. For the round-trip propagation, however, the standard results of
polarization changes for a pseudoscalar or a scalar are only modified by a
factor that depends on the relative strength of the two interactions.

known low mass stars and brown dwarfs of the 5 Myr Collinder 69 cluster (Lambda
Orionis). The new photometry supports cluster membership for most of them, with
less than 15% of the previous candidates identified as probable non-members.
The near infrared photometry allows us to identify stars with IR excesses, and
we find that the Class II population is very large, around 25% for stars (in
the spectral range M0 - M6.5) and 40% for brown dwarfs, down to 0.04 Msun,
despite the fact that the H(alpha) equivalent width is low for a significant
fraction of them. In addition, there are a number of substellar objects,
classified as Class III, that have optically thin disks. The Class II members
are distributed in an inhomogeneous way, lying preferentially in a filament
running toward the south-east. The IR excesses for the Collinder 69 members
range from pure Class II (flat or nearly flat spectra longward of 1 micron), to
transition disks with no near-IR excess but excesses beginning within the IRAC
wavelength range, to two stars with excess only detected at 24 micron.
Collinder 69 thus appears to be at an age where it provides a natural
laboratory for the study of primordial disks and their dissipation.

fitting factors (FFs) >= 0.96 for binary systems with total mass M = 10 ~ 20
Msun. The time-domain 3.5PN effective-one-body template family, which includes
the inspiral, merger and ring-down phases, gives satisfactory signal-matching
performance with FFs >= 0.96 for binary systems with total mass M = 10 ~ 120
Msun. If we introduce a cutoff frequency properly adjusted to the final
black-hole ring-down frequency, we find that the frequency-domain
stationary-phase-approximated template family at 3.5PN order has FFs >= 0.96
for binary systems with total mass M = 10 ~ 20 Msun. However, to obtain high
matching performances for larger binary masses, we need to either extend this
family to unphysical regions of the parameter space or introduce a 4PN order
coefficient in the frequency-domain GW phase. Finally, we find that the
phenomenological Buonanno-Chen-Vallisneri family has FFs >= 0.97 with total
mass M=10 ~ 120Msun. The main analyses use the noise spectral-density of LIGO,
but several tests are extended to VIRGO and advanced LIGO noise-spectral
densities.

states interacting with linear baths with general gain and loss parameters. By
explicitly solving for \rho from the master equation, we determine analytical
expressions of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of \rho^{T_A} (the partial
transposition of density matrix \rho). In Fock space, \rho^{T_A} is shown to
maintain a block diagonal structure as the system evolves. In addition, we
discover that the decoherence induced by the baths would break the degeneracy
of \rho^{T_A}, and leads to a novel set of eigenvectors for the construction of
entanglement witness operators. Such eigenvectors are shown to be
time-independent, which is a signature of robust entanglement of two-mode
squeezed states in the presence of noise.

quantum gas of spinless bosons in a quantum field framework as an expansion
over fixed multiplicities. Our calculation generalizes well known expressions
in literature in that it does not introduce any large volume approximation and
it is valid at any volume. We discuss the issues concerned with the definition
of the microcanonical ensemble for a free quantum field at volumes comparable
with the Compton wavelength and provide a consistent prescription of
calculating the microcanonical partition function, which is finite at finite
volume and yielding the correct thermodynamic limit. Besides an immaterial
overall factor, the obtained expression turns out to be the same as in the
non-relativistic multi-particle approach. This work is introductory to derive
the most general expression of the microcanonical partition function fixing the
maximal set of observables of the Poincare' group.

gravitational waves at low frequency, and will permit to test general
relativity with candidate galaxies close to a binary black hole merger. In this
paper we identify the typical mass ratio of the two black holes but then show
that the distance when gravitational radiation becomes the dominant dissipative
effect (over dynamical friction) does not depend on the mass ratio. However the
dynamical evolution in the gravitational wave emission regime does. For the
typical range of mass ratios the final stage of the merger is preceded by a
rapid precession and a subsequent spin-flip of the main black hole. This
already occurs in the inspiral phase, therefore can be described analytically
by post-Newtonian techniques. We then identify the radio galaxies with a
super-disk as those in which the rapidly precessing jet produces effectively a
powerful wind, entraining the environmental gas to produce the appearance of a
thick disk. These specific galaxies are thus candidates for a merger of two
black holes to happen in the astronomically near future.

0704.1969 | Janvier Nzeutchap | Janvier Nzeutchap | On the Young-Fibonacci insertion algorithm | 19 pages, to appear in the Proceedings of FPSAC'07 | null | null | null | math.CO | null | This work is concerned with some properties of the Young-Fibonacci insertion
algorithm and its relation with Fomin's growth diagrams. It also investigates a
relation between the combinatorics of Young-Fibonacci tableaux and the study of
Okada's algebra associated to the Young-Fibonacci lattice. The original
algorithm was introduced by Roby and we redefine it in such a way that both the
insertion and recording tableaux of any permutation are \emph{conveniently}
interpreted as chains in the Young-Fibonacci lattice. A property of
Killpatrick's evacuation is given a simpler proof, but this evacuation is no
longer needed in making Roby's and Fomin's constructions coincide. We provide
the set of Young-Fibonacci tableaux of size $n$ with a structure of graded
poset, induced by the weak order on permutations of the symmetric group, and
realized by transitive closure of elementary transformations on tableaux. We
show that this poset gives a combinatorial interpretation of the coefficients
in the transition matrix from the analogue of complete symmetric functions to
analogue of the Schur functions in Okada's algebra. We end with a quite similar
observation for four posets on Young-tableaux studied by Taskin.

Youd | Dissipative dynamics of superfluid vortices at non-zero temperatures | 4 pages, 3 figures | null | 10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.145301 | null | cond-mat.soft | null | We consider the evolution and dissipation of vortex rings in a condensate at
non-zero temperature, in the context of the classical field approximation,
based on the defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. The temperature in
such a system is fully determined by the total number density and the number
density of the condensate. A vortex ring is introduced into a condensate in a
state of thermal equilibrium, and interacts with non-condensed particles. These
interactions lead to a gradual decrease in the vortex line density, until the
vortex ring completely disappears. We show that the square of the vortex line
length changes linearly with time, and obtain the corresponding universal decay
law. We relate this to mutual friction coefficients in the fundamental equation
of vortex motion in superfluids.

ensembles. It arises in the double scaling limit of ensembles of random $n

dM$ with $\alpha > -1/2$, where the factor $|\det M|^{2\alpha}$ induces
critical eigenvalue behavior near the origin. Under the assumption that the
limiting mean eigenvalue density associated with $V$ is regular, and that the
origin is a right endpoint of its support, we compute the limiting eigenvalue
correlation kernel in the double scaling limit as $n, N \to \infty$ such that
$n^{2/3}(n/N-1) = O(1)$. We use the Deift-Zhou steepest descent method for the
Riemann-Hilbert problem for polynomials on the line orthogonal with respect to
the weight $|x|^{2\alpha} e^{-NV(x)}$. Our main attention is on the
construction of a local parametrix near the origin by means of the
$\psi$-functions associated with a distinguished solution of the Painleve XXXIV
equation. This solution is related to a particular solution of the Painleve II
equation, which however is different from the usual Hastings-McLeod solution.

The spin is Kondo screened either by even or odd conduction channel depending
on the gate voltage and electron-phonon coupling. However, in all regimes the
gate-voltage dependence of the zero temperature conductance is found to be
qualitatively the same as in the model with no coupling to the vibrational

107-142 (2008) | null | null | q-fin.PR math.PR math.ST stat.TH | null | A new framework for asset price dynamics is introduced in which the concept
of noisy information about future cash flows is used to derive the price
processes. In this framework an asset is defined by its cash-flow structure.
Each cash flow is modelled by a random variable that can be expressed as a
function of a collection of independent random variables called market factors.
With each such "X-factor" we associate a market information process, the values
of which are accessible to market agents. Each information process is a sum of
two terms; one contains true information about the value of the market factor;
the other represents "noise". The noise term is modelled by an independent
Brownian bridge. The market filtration is assumed to be that generated by the
aggregate of the independent information processes. The price of an asset is
given by the expectation of the discounted cash flows in the risk-neutral
measure, conditional on the information provided by the market filtration. When
the cash flows are the dividend payments associated with equities, an explicit
model is obtained for the share-price, and the prices of options on
dividend-paying assets are derived. Remarkably, the resulting formula for the
price of a European call option is of the Black-Scholes-Merton type. The
information-based framework also generates a natural explanation for the origin
of stochastic volatility.

framework of the \bar{K}NN-\pi YN coupled hannel Faddeev equation. By solving
the three-body equation the energy dependence of the resonant \bar{K}N
amplitude is fully taken into account. The S-matrix pole has been investigated
from the eigenvalue of the kernel with the analytic continuation of the
scattering amplitude on the unphysical Riemann sheet. The \barKN interaction is
constructed from the leading order term of the chiral Lagrangian using
relativistic kinematics. The \Lambda(1405) resonance is dynamically generated
in this model, where the \bar{K}N interaction parameters are fitted to the data
of scattering length. As a result we find a three-body resonance of the strange
dibaryon system with binding energy, B~79 MeV, and width, \Gamma~74 MeV. The
energy of the three-body resonance is found to be sensitive to the model of the
I=0 \barKN interaction.

Evolutions of Disk Nebula | 7 pages | null | null | null | physics.gen-ph | null | The general relativity is the base for any exact evolutionary theory of large
scale structures. We calculate the universal 2+1-dimensional plane equations of
gravitational field in general relativity. Based on the equations, the
evolutions of disk nebula are discussed. A system of nebula can form binary
stars or single star for different conditions. While any simplified linear
theory forms only a single star system. It is proved that the nonlinear
interactions are very general, so the binary stars are also common.

the self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock approach with inclusion of pairing
correlations. For a comparison we also consider a relativistic mean field
approach. The inhomogeneous infinite matter is described in terms of cubic
Wigner-Seitz cells, which leads to a smooth transition to the limit of
homogeneous nuclear matter. The possible existence of various structures in the
so-called pasta phase is investigated within this self-consistent approach and
a comparison is made to results obtained within the Thomas-Fermi approximation.
Results for the proton abundances and the pairing properties are discussed for
densities for which clustering phenomena are obtained.

the two cases for pomeron fusion and photon fusion, are competitive.

$(\lambda_t)$ invariant state on the $C^*$ subalgebra $\clb$ and $\IT_+$ is
either non-negative integers or real numbers. The central aim of this
exposition is to find a useful criteria for the inductive limit state $\clb
\raro^{\lambda_t} \clb$ canonically associated with $\psi$ to be pure. We
achieve this by exploring the minimal weak forward and backward Markov
processes associated with the Markov semigroup on the corner von-Neumann
algebra of the support projection of the state $\psi$ to prove that
Kolmogorov's property [Mo2] of the Markov semigroup is a sufficient condition
for the inductive state to be pure. As an application of this criteria we find
a sufficient condition for a translation invariant factor state on a one
dimensional quantum spin chain to be pure. This criteria in a sense complements
criteria obtained in [BJKW,Mo2] as we could go beyond lattice symmetric states.

configurations of magnetic fields are taken into account: $(i)$ a homogeneous

cylindrical shell with $\delta$-function. In these three cases, the axis of the
infinitely long tube of radius $R$ coincides with the cosmic string. Because
the complexity of this analysis in the region inside the tube, we consider the
thermal effect in the region outside. In order to develop this analysis, we
construct the thermal Green function associated with this system for the three
above mentioned situations considering points in the region outside the tube.
We explicitly calculate in the high-temperature limit, the thermal average of
the field square and the energy-momentum tensor.

heavy targets in the kinematic region of the Delta(1232) resonance. Final state
interactions of the pions are taken into account using the pion multiple
scattering model of Adler, Nussinov and Paschos (ANP model). For
electroproduction and neutral current reactions we obtain results for carbon,
oxygen, argon and iron targets and find a significant reduction of the
W-spectra for pi^0 as compared to the free nucleon case. On the other hand, the
charged pion spectra are only little affected by final state interactions.
Measurements of such cross sections with the CLAS detector at JLAB could help
to improve our understanding of pion rescattering effects and serve as
important/valuable input for calculations of single pion neutrinoproduction on
heavy targets relevant for current and future long baseline neutrino
experiments. Two ratios, in Eq. (3.8) and (3.10), will test important
properties of the model.

parameter \alpha_{1} depends on a geometry of the lattice. The critical value
of the normal state conductance seems to be difficult to obtain experimentally
if we take into consideration different damping mechanisms which are presented

Alternative orientations of the graphene sheet on the BN substrate generate
similar band gaps and masses. The band gap induced by the BN surface can
greatly improve room temperature pinch-off characteristics of graphene-based

significant decay of the M_F=0 component fraction in an initial M_F=0

added | AnnalsPhys.323:866-882,2008 | 10.1016/j.aop.2007.09.003 | null | gr-qc astro-ph hep-th | null | A scale invariant model containing dilaton $\phi$ and dust (as a model of
matter) is studied where the shift symmetry $\phi\to\phi +const.$ is
spontaneously broken at the classical level due to intrinsic features of the
model. The dilaton to matter coupling "constant" $f$ appears to be dependent of
the matter density. In normal conditions, i.e. when the matter energy density
is many orders of magnitude larger than the dilaton contribution to the dark
energy density, $f$ becomes less than the ratio of the "mass of the vacuum" in
the volume occupied by the matter to the Planck mass. The model yields this
kind of "Archimedes law" without any especial (intended for this) choice of the
underlying action and without fine tuning of the parameters. The model not only
explains why all attempts to discover a scalar force correction to Newtonian
gravity were unsuccessful so far but also predicts that in the near future
there is no chance to detect such corrections in the astronomical measurements
as well as in the specially designed fifth force experiments on intermediate,
short (like millimeter) and even ultrashort (a few nanometer) ranges. This
prediction is alternative to predictions of other known models.

resolved in N-body simulations or observed in the Universe. Secondary infall
model provides a paradigm for the study of caustics in "typical" haloes
assuming that they have had no major mergers and have grown only by smooth
accretion. This is a particular characteristic of the smallest dark matter
haloes of about 10^{-5} Mo, which although "atypical" contain no substructures
and could have survived until now with no major mergers. Thus using this model
as the first guidline, we evaluate the neutralino self-annihilation flux for
these haloes. Our results show that caustics could leave a distinct sawteeth
signature on the differential and cumulative fluxes coming from the outer
regions of these haloes. The total annihilation signal from the regions away
from the centre can be boosted by about forty percents.
