A shape theorem for the spread of an infection
Harry Kesten, Vladas Sidoravicius
We consider the following interacting particle system: There is a ``gas'' of particles, each of which performs a continuous time simple random walk on the d-dimensional lattice. Th…
Anomalous spin transport in a two-channel-Kondo quantum dot device
Prashant Sharma
We study the response of a two-channel Kondo quantum dot device proposed by Y. Oreg and D. Goldhaber-Gordon [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 136602 (2003)] to a spin-bias applied across…
Representation Dependence in Probabilistic Inference
Joseph Y. Halpern, Daphne Koller
Non-deductive reasoning systems are often {\em representation dependent}: representing the same situation in two different ways may cause such a system to return two different answ…
Recent CLEO CKM Results
Karl M. Ecklund
I report B physics results from the CLEO collaboration, highlighting measurements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements |Vcb| and |Vub|. I report a recent measurement of…
|Vcb|, |Vub|, and Hqet at Cleo
Karl M. Ecklund
I report results from the CLEO collaboration on semileptonic B decays, highlighting measurements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements Vcb and Vub. I describe the techni…
Analysis of First LIGO Science Data for Stochastic Gravitational Waves
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We present the analysis of between 50 and 100 hrs of coincident interferometric strain data used to search for and establish an upper limit on a stochastic background of gravitatio…
Neutron Star Kicks and Supernova Asymmetry
Dong Lai
Observations over the last decade have shown that neutron stars receive a large kick velocity (of order a hundred to a thousand km/s) at birth. The physical origin of the kicks and…
Responsibility and blame: a structural-model approach
Hana Chockler, Joseph Y. Halpern
Causality is typically treated an all-or-nothing concept; either A is a cause of B or it is not. We extend the definition of causality introduced by Halpern and Pearl [2001] to tak…
What Causes a System to Satisfy a Specification?
Hana Chockler, Joseph Y. Halpern, Orna Kupferman
Even when a system is proven to be correct with respect to a specification, there is still a question of how complete the specification is, and whether it really covers all the beh…
Log-periodic behavior of finite size effects in field theories with RG limit cycles
A. LeClair, J. M. Roman, G. Sierra
We compute the finite size effects in the ground state energy, equivalently the effective central charge c_{eff}, based on S-matrix theories recently conjectured to describe a cycl…
Mapping Subsets of Scholarly Information
Paul Ginsparg, Paul Houle, Thorsten Joachims +1
We illustrate the use of machine learning techniques to analyze, structure, maintain, and evolve a large online corpus of academic literature. An emerging field of research can be…
Closer towards inflation in string theory
Hassan Firouzjahi, S. -H. Henry Tye
In brane inflation, the relative brane position in the bulk of a brane world is the inflaton. For branes moving in a compact manifold, the approximate translational (or shift) symm…
Learning the weak phase from B decays
Jonathan L. Rosner
The current status of some methods to determine the weak phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element using B decays is discussed, and comments are ma…
Radiative Transfer Modeling of Passive Circumstellar Disks: Application to HR4796A
T. Currie, D. Semenov, Th. Henning +2
We present a radiative transfer model which computes the spectral energy distribution of a passive, irradiated, circumstellar disk, assuming the grains are in radiative equilibrium…
The spread of a rumor or infection in a moving population
Harry Kesten, Vladas Sidoravicius
We consider the following interacting particle system: There is a ``gas'' of particles, each of which performs a continuous-time simple random walk on , with jump rat…
Calculus on the Sierpinski Gasket I: Polynomials, Exponentials and Power Series
Jonathan Needleman, Robert S. Strichartz, Alexander Teplyaev
We study the analog of power series expansions on the Sierpinski gasket, for analysis based on the Kigami Laplacian. The analog of polynomials are multiharmonic functions, which ha…
Exotic states of matter in heavy meson decays
Jonathan L. Rosner
The potential of decays of mesons containing heavy quarks [including mesons and the ] for producing final states of matter with unusual quark configurations, such as $q…
Observation of eta_c^{prime} Production in gamma gamma Fusion at CLEO
D. M. Asner, CLEO Collaboration
We report on the observation of the eta_{c}^{prime}(2^{1}S_{0}), the radial excitation of eta_{c}(1^{1}S_{0}) ground state of charmonium, in the two-photon fusion reaction gamma ga…
First upper limits from LIGO on gravitational wave bursts
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott
We report on a search for gravitational wave bursts using data from the first science run of the LIGO detectors. Our search focuses on bursts with durations ranging from 4 ms to 10…
3D simulations of Einstein's equations: symmetric hyperbolicity, live gauges and dynamic control of the constraints
Manuel Tiglio, Luis Lehner, David Neilsen
We present three-dimensional simulations of Einstein equations implementing a symmetric hyperbolic system of equations with dynamical lapse. The numerical implementation makes use…
Characterizing and Reasoning about Probabilistic and Non-Probabilistic Expectation
Joseph Y. Halpern, Riccardo Pucella
Expectation is a central notion in probability theory. The notion of expectation also makes sense for other notions of uncertainty. We introduce a propositional logic for reasoning…
Measurement of the shear strength of a charge-density wave
K. O'Neill, K. Cicak, R. E. Thorne
We have explored the shear plasticity of charge density waves (CDWs) in niobium triselenide samples with cross-sections having a single micro-fabricated thickness step. Shear stres…
Pulsar Parallaxes at 5 GHz with the Very Long Baseline Array
S. Chatterjee, J. M. Cordes, W. H. T. Vlemmings +3
We present the first pulsar parallaxes measured with phase-referenced pulsar VLBI observations at 5 GHz. Due to the steep spectra of pulsars, previous astrometric measurements have…
A bias in optical observations of high redshift luminous infrared galaxies
V. Charmandaris, E. Le Floc'h, I. F. Mirabel
We present evidence for the dramatically different morphology between the rest frame UV and 7micron mid-IR emission of VV114 and Arp299, two nearby (z~0) violently interacting infr…
