X-ray flares following short gamma-ray bursts from shock heating of binary stellar companions
Andrew I. MacFadyen, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Weiqun Zhang
The discovery of long-lasting (~100 s) X-ray flares following short gamma-ray bursts initially called into question whether they were truly classical short-hard bursts. Opinion ove…
Management Fads, Pedagogies and Soft Technologies
Jonathan Bendor, Bernardo A. Huberman, Fang Wu
We present a model for the diffusion of management fads and other technologies which lack clear objective evidence about their merits. The choices made by non-Bayesian adopters ref…
The main conjecture for CM elliptic curves at supersingular primes
Robert Pollack, Karl Rubin
At a prime of ordinary reduction, the Iwasawa ``main conjecture'' for elliptic curves relates a Selmer group to a -adic -function. In the supersingular case, the statement of…
Two-dimensional porous silicon photonic crystal light emitters
Maria Makarova, Jelena Vuckovic, Hiroyuki Sanda +1
We present the design, fabrication and preliminary experiments of two-dimensional photonic crystal cavities made in nanoporous silicon luminescent at 700-800 nm. Enhancement in pho…
Index theoretic characterization of d-wave superconductors in the vortex state
Oskar Vafek, Ashot Melikyan
We employ index theoretic methods to study analytically the low energy spectrum of a lattice d-wave superconductor in the vortex lattice state. This allows us to compare singly qua…
On K3 Surfaces with Large Complex Structure
Adrian Clingher, Charles F. Doran
We discuss a notion of large complex structure for elliptic K3 surfaces with section inspired by the eight-dimensional F-theory/heterotic duality in string theory. This concept is…
