Objects of Categories as Complex Numbers
Marcelo Fiore, Tom Leinster
In many everyday categories (sets, spaces, modules, ...) objects can be both added and multiplied. The arithmetic of such objects is a challenge because there is usually no subtrac…
Cosmological Billiards
T. Damour, M. Henneaux, H. Nicolai
It is shown in detail that the dynamics of the Einstein-dilaton-p-form system in the vicinity of a spacelike singularity can be asymptotically described, at a generic spatial point…
Foliations with unbounded deviation on the two-dimensional torus
Dmitri Panov
There exists a smooth foliation with 3 singular points on the two-dimensional torus such that any lifting of a leaf of this foliation on the universal covering of the torus is a de…
Chiral Rings and Anomalies in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
Freddy Cachazo, Michael R. Douglas, Nathan Seiberg +1
Motivated by recent work of Dijkgraaf and Vafa, we study anomalies and the chiral ring structure in a supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory with an adjoint chiral superfield and an arbi…
Large Gauge Transformations in M-theory
Jussi Kalkkinen, K. S. Stelle
We cast M-brane interactions including intersecting membranes and five-branes in manifestly gauge invariant form using an arrangement of higher dimensional Dirac surfaces. We show…
The work of Vladimir Voevodsky
Christophe Soulé
Vladimir Voevodsky was born in 1966. He studied at Moscow State University and Harvard university. He is now Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Among his m…
Spherically symmetric spacetimes in massive gravity
Thibault Damour, Ian I. Kogan, Antonios Papazoglou
We explore spherically symmetric stationary solutions, generated by ``stars'' with regular interiors, in purely massive gravity. We reexamine the claim that the resummation of non-…
Kneading determinants and spectra of transfer operators in higher dimensions, the isotropic case
M. Baillif, V. Baladi
Transfer operators M_k acting on k-forms in R^n are associated to smooth transversal local diffeomorphisms and compactly supported weight functions. A formal trace is defined by su…
Complex Curve of the Two Matrix Model and its Tau-function
Vladimir A. Kazakov, Andrei Marshakov
We study the hermitean and normal two matrix models in planar approximation for an arbitrary number of eigenvalue supports. Its planar graph interpretation is given. The study reve…
Gravitational waves from black hole binary inspiral and merger: The span of third post-Newtonian effective-one-body templates
Thibault Damour, Bala R. Iyer, Piotr Jaranowski +1
We extend the description of gravitational waves emitted by binary black holes during the final stages of inspiral and merger by introducing in the third post-Newtonian (3PN) effec…
String theory, cosmology and varying constants
Thibault Damour
In string theory the coupling ``constants'' appearing in the low-energy effective Lagrangian are determined by the vacuum expectation values of some (a priori) massless scalar fiel…
An Exact General-Relativity Solution for the Motion and Intersections of Self-Gravitating Shells in the Field of a Massive Black Hole
M. V. Barkov, V. A. Belinski, G. S. Bisnovatyi-Kogan
The motion with intersections of relativistic gravitating shells in the Schwarzschild gravitational field of a central body is considered. Formulas are derived for calculating para…
Hydrodynamics from Grad's equations: What can we learn from exact solutions?
Iliya V. Karlin, Alexander N. Gorban
A detailed treatment of the classical Chapman-Enskog derivation of hydrodynamics is given in the framework of Grad's moment equations. Grad's systems are considered as the minimal…
Variational analysis of the deconfinement phase transition
I. I. Kogan, A. Kovner, J. G. Milhano
We study the deconfining phase transition in 3+1 dimensional pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory using a gauge invariant variational calculation. We generalize the variational ansatz of P…
An example of a uniformly accelerated particle detector with non-Unruh response
A. M. Fedotov, N. B. Narozhny, V. D. Mur +1
We propose a scalar background in Minkowski spacetime imparting constant proper acceleration to a classical particle. In contrast to the case of a constant electric field the propo…
DBI Action from Closed Strings and D-brane second Quantization
Ian I. Kogan, Dimitri Polyakov
Brane-like vertex operators play an important role in a worldsheet formulation of D-branes and M-theory. In this paper we derive the DBI D-brane action from NSR closed string sigma…
E10 and a "small tension expansion" of M Theory
T. Damour, M. Henneaux, H. Nicolai
A formal ``small tension'' expansion of D=11 supergravity near a spacelike singularity is shown to be equivalent, at least up to 30th order in height, to a null geodesic motion in…
A Cosmic Battery Reconsidered
G. S. Bisnovatyi-Kogan, R. V. E. Lovelace, V. A. Belinski
We revisit the problem of magnetic field generation in accretion flows onto black holes owing to the excess radiation force on electrons. This excess force may arise from the Poynt…
A comparison of search templates for gravitational waves from binary inspiral - 3.5PN update
Thibault Damour, Bala R. Iyer, B. S. Sathyaprakash
Phasing formulas in a recent paper of ours' (Phys. Rev. D 63, 044023-1 (2001) are updated taking into account the recent 3.5PN results. Some misprints in the published version of t…
Seiberg-Witten Prepotential From Instanton Counting
Nikita A. Nekrasov
Direct evaluation of the Seiberg-Witten prepotential is accomplished following the localization programme suggested some time ago. Our results agree with all low-instanton calculat…
Einstein billiards and overextensions of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras
Thibault Damour, Sophie de Buyl, Marc Henneaux +1
In recent papers, it has been shown that (i) the dynamics of theories involving gravity can be described, in the vicinity of a spacelike singularity, as a billiard motion in a regi…

Alexander Grothendieck, Michele Raynaud
Le texte présente les fondements d'une théorie du groupe fondamental en Géométrie Algébrique, dans le point de vue ``kroneckerien'' permettant de traiter sur le même pied le cas d'…
Non-linear bigravity and cosmic acceleration
Thibault Damour, Ian I. Kogan, Antonios Papazoglou
We explore the cosmological solutions of classes of non-linear bigravity theories. These theories are defined by effective four-dimensional Lagrangians describing the coupled dynam…
Effective Lagrangians and Universality Classes of Nonlinear Bigravity
