A Systematic Search for Periodicities in RXTE/ASM Data

Linqing Wen, Alan M. Levine, Robin H. D. Corbet +1

We present the results of a systematic search in 8.5 years of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All-Sky Monitor data for evidence of periodicities. The search was conducted by applicatio…

Accurate Evolution of Orbiting Binary Black Holes

Peter Diener, Frank Herrmann, Denis Pollney +5

We present a detailed analysis of binary black hole evolutions in the last orbit, and demonstrate consistent and convergent results for the trajectories of the individual bodies. T…

Mixing of the RR and NSNS sectors in the BMN limit

Michael B. Green, Stefano Kovacs, Aninda Sinha

This paper concerns instanton contributions to two-point correlation functions of BMN operators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills that vanish in planar perturbation theory. Two-poin…

Dynamics of the spatially homogeneous Bianchi type I Einstein-Vlasov equations

J. Mark Heinzle, Claes Uggla

We investigate the dynamics of spatially homogeneous solutions of the Einstein-Vlasov equations with Bianchi type I symmetry by using dynamical systems methods. All models are fore…

Green-Schwarz Strings in TsT-transformed backgrounds

L. F. Alday, G. Arutyunov, S. Frolov

We consider classical strings propagating in a background generated by a sequence of TsT transformations. We describe a general procedure to derive the Green-Schwarz action for str…

Hidden symmetries and the fermionic sector of eleven-dimensional supergravity

Thibault Damour, Axel Kleinschmidt, Hermann Nicolai

We study the hidden symmetries of the fermionic sector of D=11 supergravity, and the role of K(E10) as a generalised `R-symmetry'. We find a consistent model of a massless spinning…

Planar N=4 Gauge Theory and the Hubbard Model

Adam Rej, Didina Serban, Matthias Staudacher

Recently it was established that a certain integrable long-range spin chain describes the dilatation operator of N=4 gauge theory in the su(2) sector to at least three-loop order,…

Over the Rainbow: Numerical Relativity beyond Scri+

Charles W. Misner

This is a study of the behavior of wave equations in conformally compactified spacetimes suited to the use of computational boundaries beyond Scri+. There light cones may be adjust…

Best chirplet chain: near-optimal detection of gravitational wave chirps

Eric Chassande-Mottin, Archana Pai

The list of putative sources of gravitational waves possibly detected by the ongoing worldwide network of large scale interferometers has been continuously growing in the last year…

Curvature estimates for stable marginally trapped surfaces

Lars Andersson, Jan Metzger

We derive integral and sup-estimates for the curvature of stably marginally outer trapped surfaces in a sliced space-time. The estimates bound the shear of a marginally outer trapp…

Joint LIGO and TAMA300 Search for Gravitational Waves from Inspiralling Neutron Star Binaries

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, TAMA Collaboration

We search for coincident gravitational wave signals from inspiralling neutron star binaries using LIGO and TAMA300 data taken during early 2003. Using a simple trigger exchange met…

Classical and quantum LTB model for the non-marginal case

Claus Kiefer, Jakob Mueller-Hill, Cenalo Vaz

We extend the classical and quantum treatment of the Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) model to the non-marginal case (defined by the fact that the shells of the dust cloud start with a…

Lovelock type gravity and small black holes in heterotic string theory

Predrag Prester

We analyze near horizon behavior of small D-dimensional 2-charge black holes by modifying tree level effective action of heterotic string with all extended Gauss-Bonnet densities.…

New, efficient, and accurate high order derivative and dissipation operators satisfying summation by parts, and applications in three-dimensional multi-block evolutions

Peter Diener, Ernst Nils Dorband, Erik Schnetter +1

We construct new, efficient, and accurate high-order finite differencing operators which satisfy summation by parts. Since these operators are not uniquely defined, we consider sev…
