Canonical measures and Kahler-Ricci flow
Jian Song, Gang Tian
We show that the Kahler-Ricci flow on an algebraic manifold of positive Kodaira dimension and semi-ample canonical line bundle converges to a unique canonical metric on its canonic…
Metastable Domains of the Landscape
Michael Dine, Guido Festuccia, Alexander Morisse +1
We argue that the vast majority of flux vacua with small cosmological constant are unstable to rapid decay to a big crunch. Exceptions are states with large compactification volume…
Generalized statistical models of voids and hierarchical structure in cosmology
Aram Z. Mekjian
Generalized statistical models of voids and hierarchical structure in cosmology are developed. The often quoted negative binomial model and frequently used thermodynamic model are…
Phenomenology of Hidden Valleys at Hadron Colliders
Tao Han, Zongguo Si, Kathryn M. Zurek +1
We study the phenomenology of, and search techniques for, a class of "Hidden Valleys." These models are characterized by low mass (well below a TeV) bound states resulting from a c…
Defects and Bulk Perturbations of Boundary Landau-Ginzburg Orbifolds
Ilka Brunner, Daniel Roggenkamp
We propose defect lines as a useful tool to study bulk perturbations of conformal field theories, in particular to analyse the induced renormalisation group flows of boundary condi…
Dynamics of thermoelastic thin plates: A comparison of four theories
Andrew N. Norris
Four distinct theories describing the flexural motion of thermoelastic thin plates are compared. The theories are due to Chadwick, Lagnese and Lions, Simmonds, and Norris. Chadwick…
