Spontaneous coalition forming: Why some are stable?

Serge Galam

A model to describe the spontaneous formation of military and economic coalitions among a group of countries is proposed using spin glass theory. Between each couple of countries,…

The Boson Normal Ordering Problem and Generalized Bell Numbers

P. Blasiak, K. A. Penson, A. I. Solomon

For any function F(x) having a Taylor expansion we solve the boson normal ordering problem for F[(a*)^r a^s], with r,s positive integers,[a,a*]=1, i.e. we provide exact and explici…

A giant overshoot effect in the Janssen granular column

G. Ovarlez, C. Fond, E. Clément

We present new experimental results on the mechanical behavior of static granular assemblies confined in a vertical column. Our measurements confirm, for the first time, the univer…

Measurement of the B0 meson lifetime with partial reconstruction of B0 --> D*- pi+ and B0 --> D*- rho+ decays

The BABAR Collaboration, B. Aubert

The neutral meson lifetime is measured with the data collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage ring during the years 1999 and 2000, with a total integrated luminosi…

Combinatorics of Boson Normal Ordering: the Dobinski Formula Revisited

Karol A. Penson, Allan I. Solomon

We derive explicit formulas for the normal ordering of powers of arbitrary monomials of boson operators. These formulas lead to generalisations of conventional Bell and Stirling nu…

Initial conditions, Discreteness and non-linear structure formation in cosmology

Francesco Sylos Labini, Thierry Baertschiger, Andrea Gabrielli +1

In this lecture we address three different but related aspects of the initial continuous fluctuation field in standard cosmological models. Firstly we discuss the properties of the…
