The General Relativistic Two Body Problem and the Effective One Body Formalism
Thibault Damour
A new analytical approach to the motion and radiation of (comparable mass) binary systems has been introduced in 1999 under the name of Effective One Body (EOB) formalism. We revie…
Many projectively unique polytopes
Karim A. Adiprasito, Günter M. Ziegler
We construct an infinite family of 4-polytopes whose realization spaces have dimension smaller or equal to 96. This in particular settles a problem going back to Legendre and Stein…
Improved effective-one-body description of coalescing nonspinning black-hole binaries and its numerical-relativity completion
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Sebastiano Bernuzzi
We improve the effective-one-body (EOB) description of nonspinning coalescing black hole binaries by incorporating several recent analytical advances, notably: (i) logarithmic cont…
Seiberg-Witten Geometry of Four-Dimensional Quiver Gauge Theories
Nikita Nekrasov, Vasily Pestun
Seiberg-Witten geometry of mass deformed superconformal ADE quiver gauge theories in four dimensions is determined. We solve the limit shape equations derived from t…
Combinatorial stratifications and minimality of 2-arrangements
Karim A. Adiprasito
We prove that the complement of any affine 2-arrangement in R^d is minimal, that is, it is homotopy equivalent to a cell complex with as many i-cells as its i-th rational Betti num…
D = 5 maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory diverges at six loops
Zvi Bern, John Joseph Carrasco, Lance J. Dixon +3
The connection of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to the (2,0) theory in six dimensions has raised the possibility that it might be perturbatively ultraviolet finite in…
Gravitational radiation reaction along general orbits in the effective one-body formalism
Donato Bini, Thibault Damour
We derive the gravitational radiation-reaction force modifying the Effective One Body (EOB) description of the conservative dynamics of binary systems. Our result is applicable to…
Hydrodynamic turbulence as a problem in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
David Ruelle
We reformulate the problem of hydrodynamic turbulence as a heat flow problem. We obtain thus a prediction for the exponents of the…
Infinitesimal deformations of rational surface automorphisms
Julien Grivaux
If is a rational surface without nonzero holomorphic vector field and is an automorphism of , we study in several examples the Zariski tangent space of the local deforma…
The index of an algebraic variety
Ofer Gabber, Qing Liu, Dino Lorenzini
Let K be the field of fractions of a Henselian discrete valuation ring O_K. Let X_K/K be a smooth proper geometrically connected scheme admitting a regular model X/O_K. We show tha…
Blow up for the critical gKdV equation III: exotic regimes
Yvan Martel, Frank Merle, Pierre Raphael
We consider the blow up problem in the energy space for the critical (gKdV) equation in the continuation of part I and part II. We know from part I that the unique and stable blow…
Characterizing co-NL by a group action
Clément Aubert, Thomas Seiller
In a recent paper, Girard proposes to use his recent construction of a geometry of interaction in the hyperfinite factor in an innovative way to characterize complexity classes. We…
Gravitational self-force and the effective-one-body formalism between the innermost stable circular orbit and the light ring
Sarp Akcay, Leor Barack, Thibault Damour +1
We compute the conservative piece of the gravitational self-force (GSF) acting on a particle of mass m_1 as it moves along an (unstable) circular geodesic orbit between the innermo…
Resilience of the Spectral Standard Model
Ali H. Chamseddine, Alain Connes
We show that the inconsistency between the spectral Standard Model and the experimental value of the Higgs mass is resolved by the presence of a real scalar field strongly coupled…
One-loop four-graviton amplitudes in N=4 supergravity models
Piotr Tourkine, Pierre Vanhove
We evaluate in great detail one-loop four-graviton field theory amplitudes in pure N=4 D=4 supergravity. The expressions are obtained by taking the field theory limits of (4,0) and…
Conformal field theories with infinitely many conservation laws
Ivan Todorov
Globally conformal invariant quantum field theories in a D-dimensional space-time (D even) have rational correlation functions and admit an infinite number of conserved (symmetric…
Critical phenomena at the threshold of immediate merger in binary black hole systems: the extreme mass ratio case
Carsten Gundlach, Sarp Akcay, Leor Barack +1
In numerical simulations of black hole binaries, Pretorius and Khurana [Class. Quant. Grav. {\bf 24}, S83 (2007)] have observed critical behaviour at the threshold between scatteri…
Representation of Markov chains by random maps: existence and regularity conditions
Jürgen Jost, Martin Kell, Christian S. Rodrigues
We systematically investigate the problem of representing Markov chains by families of random maps, and which regularity of these maps can be achieved depending on the properties o…
Horizon-absorption effects in coalescing black-hole binaries: An effective-one-body study of the non-spinning case
Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Alessandro Nagar, Anil Zenginoglu
We study the horizon absorption of gravitational waves in coalescing, circularized, nonspinning black hole binaries. The horizon absorbed fluxes of a binary with a large mass ratio…
On the boundedness of effective potentials arising from string compactifications
Marcelo M. Disconzi, Michael R. Douglas, Vamsi P. Pingali
We study effective potentials coming from compactifications of string theory. We show that, under mild assumptions, such potentials are bounded from below in four dimensions, givin…
Gravity, strings, modular and quasimodular forms
P. Marios Petropoulos, Pierre Vanhove
Modular and quasimodular forms have played an important role in gravity and string theory. Eisenstein series have appeared systematically in the determination of spectrums and part…
The Development of Supergravity Grand Unification: Circa 1982-85
R. Arnowitt, A. H. Chamseddine, Pran Nath
The development in the early eighties of supergravity grand unified models with gravity mediated breaking of supersymmetry, has led to a remarkable progress in the study of supersy…
Massive Hermitian Gravity
Ali H. Chamseddine, Viatcheslav Mukhanov
Einstein-Strauss Hermitian gravity was recently formulated as a gauge theory where the tangent group is taken to be the pseudo-unitary group instead of the orthogonal group. A Higg…
Tidal effects in binary neutron star coalescence
Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Alessandro Nagar, Marcus Thierfelder +1
We compare dynamics and waveforms from binary neutron star coalescence as computed by new long-term ( orbits) numerical relativity simulations and by the tidal effective-…
