Merging neutron star binaries: equation of state and electrodynamics
Dong Lai
Merging neutron star (NS) binaries may be detected by ground-based gravitational wave (GW) interferometers (e.g. LIGO/VIRGO) within this decade and may also generate electromagneti…
High-Frequency QPOs and Overstable Oscillations of Black-Hole Accretion Disks
Dong Lai, Wen Fu, David Tsang +2
The physical origin of high-frequency QPOs (HFQPOs) in black-hole X-ray binaries remains an enigma despite many years of detailed observational studies. Although there exists a num…
B^\pm -> D K^\pm with direct CP violation in charm
Mario Martone, Jure Zupan
We investigate the implications of direct CP violation (CPV) on the determination of the unitarity triangle angle γ from B -> DK decays. We show that γ can still be extracted even…
Comparison of electromagnetic and gravitational radiation; what we can learn about each from the other
Richard H. Price, John W. Belcher, David A. Nichols
We compare the nature of electromagnetic fields and of gravitational fields in linearized general relativity. We carry out this comparison both mathematically and visually. In part…
Dynamical Tides in Compact White Dwarf Binaries: Helium Core White Dwarfs, Tidal Heating, and Observational Signatures
Jim Fuller, Dong Lai
Tidal dissipation in compact white dwarf (WD) binary systems significantly influences the physical conditions (such as surface temperature and rotation rate) of the WDs prior to ma…
Branching of quasinormal modes for nearly extremal Kerr black holes
Huan Yang, Fan Zhang, Aaron Zimmerman +3
We show that nearly extremal Kerr black holes have two distinct sets of quasinormal modes, which we call zero-damping modes (ZDMs) and damped modes (DMs). The ZDMs exist for all ha…
Simulations of Overstable Inertial-acoustic Modes in Black-Hole Accretion Discs
Wen Fu, Dong Lai
We present two-dimensional inviscid hydrodynamic simulations of overstable inertial-acoustic oscillation modes (p-modes) in black-hole accretion discs. These global spiral waves ar…
On Total Frobenius-Schur Indicators
Gongxiang Liu, Siu-Hung Ng
We define total Frobenius-Schur indicator for each object in a spherical fusion category as a certain canonical sum of its higher indicators. The total indicators are invariant…
Cyclic sieving, rotation, and geometric representation theory
Bruce Fontaine, Joel Kamnitzer
We study rotation of invariant vectors in tensor products of minuscule representations. We define a combinatorial notion of rotation of minuscule Littelmann paths. Using affine Gra…
Rossby Wave Instability in Accretion Discs with Large-Scale Poloidal Magnetic Fields
Cong Yu, Dong Lai
We study the effect of large-scale magnetic fields on the non-axisymmetric Rossby wave instability (RWI) in accretion discs. The instability develops around a density bump, which i…
Channeling of a sub-angstrom electron beam in a crystal mapped to two-dimensional molecular orbitals
Robert Hovden, Huolin L. Xin, David A. Muller
The propagation of high-energy electrons in crystals is in general a complicated multiple scattering problem. However, along high-symmetry zone axes the problem can be mapped to th…
Rossby Wave Instability with Self-Gravity
R. V. E. Lovelace, R. G. Hohlfeld
The Rossby wave instability (RWI) in non-self-gravitating discs can be triggered by a bump at a radius in the disc surface mass-density (which is proportional to the inverse…
Measurement of the t t-bar production cross section in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with lepton + jets final states
CMS Collaboration
A measurement of the t t-bar production cross section in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented. The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2…
Study of the mass and spin-parity of the Higgs boson candidate via its decays to Z boson pairs
CMS Collaboration
A study is presented of the mass and spin-parity of the new boson recently observed at the LHC at a mass near 125 GeV. An integrated luminosity of 17.3 inverse femtobarns, collecte…
Search for supersymmetry in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV in events with a single lepton, jets, and missing transverse momentum
The CMS Collaboration
Results are reported from a search for new physics processes in events containing a single isolated high-transverse-momentum lepton (electron or muon), energetic jets, and large mi…
Search for new physics in events with same-sign dileptons and b jets in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV
CMS Collaboration
A search for new physics is performed using events with isolated same-sign leptons and at least two bottom-quark jets in the final state. Results are based on a sample of proton-pr…
Brownian motion on treebolic space: escape to infinity
Alexander Bendikov, Laurent Saloff-Coste, Maura Salvatori +1
Treebolic space is an analog of the Sol geometry, namely, it is the horocylic product of the hyperbolic upper half plane H and the homogeneous tree T with degree p+1 > 2, the latte…
Poloidal Magnetic Fields In Superconducting Neutron Stars
K. T. Henriksson, I. Wasserman
We develop the formalism for computing the magnetic field within an axisymmetric neutron star with a strong Type II superconductor core surrounded by a normal conductor. The formal…

Florentina Bunea, Luo Xiao
This work provides a unified analysis of the properties of the sample covariance matrix over the class of population covariance matrices of reduced effective…

Judd D. Bowman, Iver Cairns, David L. Kaplan +58
Significant new opportunities for astrophysics and cosmology have been identified at low radio frequencies. The Murchison Widefield Array is the first telescope in the Southern Hem…
Black hole-neutron star mergers at realistic mass ratios: Equation of state and spin orientation effects
Francois Foucart, M. Brett Deaton, Matthew D. Duez +7
Black hole-neutron star mergers resulting in the disruption of the neutron star and the formation of an accretion disk and/or the ejection of unbound material are prime candidates…
Saving the Coherent State Path Integral
Yariv Yanay, Erich J. Mueller
By returning to the underlying discrete time formalism, we relate spurious results in coherent state path integral calculations to the high frequency structure of their propagators…
