The Witt Ring of a Smooth Projective Curve over a Finite Field

Jeanne M. Funk, Raymond T. Hoobler

In this paper we calculate the Witt ring W(C) of a smooth geometrically connected projective curve C over a finite field of characteristic different from 2. We view W(C) as a subri…

A Method to Extract Charged Hadron Properties from Lattice QCD in Magnetic Fields

B. C. Tiburzi, S. O. Vayl

By analyzing the external field dependence of correlation functions, the magnetic properties of hadrons can be determined using lattice QCD in magnetic fields. To compute the magne…

Isostaticity at Frictional Jamming

Stefanos Papanikolaou, Corey S. O'Hern, Mark D. Shattuck

Amorphous packings of frictionless, spherical particles are isostatic at jamming onset, with the number of constraints (contacts) equal to the number of degrees of freedom. Their s…

Isotensor Hadronic Parity Violation

B. C. Tiburzi

Weak interactions between quarks give rise to hadronic parity violation which can be observed in nuclear and few-nucleon systems. We study the QCD renormalization of the isotensor…
