Lorentz violation, gravitomagnetism, and intrinsic spin

Jay D. Tasson

A largely unconstrained set of relativity-violating effects is studied via the gravitomagnetic effect on intrinsic spins. The results of existing comagnetometer experiments are use…

Newly reducible iterates in families of quadratic polynomials

Katharine Chamberlin, Emma Colbert, Sharon Frechette +3

We examine the question of when a quadratic polynomial f(x) defined over a number field K can have a newly reducible nth iterate, that is, f^n(x) irreducible over K but f^{n+1}(x)…

A Temporal Map in Geostationary Orbit: The Cover Etching on the EchoStar XVI Artifact

J. M. Weisberg, T. Paglen

Geostationary satellites are unique among orbital spacecraft in that they experience no appreciable atmospheric drag. After concluding their respective missions, geostationary spac…

Γ-species and the enumeration of k-trees

Andrew Gainer-Dewar

We study the class of graphs known as k-trees through the lens of Joyal's theory of combinatorial species (and an equivariant extension known as '-species' which incorporates da…

On Pulsar Distance Measurements and their Uncertainties

J. P. W. Verbiest, J. M. Weisberg, A. A. Chael +2

Accurate distances to pulsars can be used for a variety of studies of the Galaxy and its electron content. However, most distance measures to pulsars have been derived from the abs…

Representations of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra II: punctured surfaces

Francis Bonahon, Helen Wong

In earlier work, we constructed invariants of irreducible representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface. We introduce here an inverse construction, which to a set of p…

Representations of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra I: invariants and miraculous cancellations

Francis Bonahon, Helen Wong

We study finite-dimensional representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface S. In particular, we construct invariants of such irreducible representations when the underl…

A First Search for coincident Gravitational Waves and High Energy Neutrinos using LIGO, Virgo and ANTARES data from 2007

The ANTARES Collaboration, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration +959

We present the results of the first search for gravitational wave bursts associated with high energy neutrinos. Together, these messengers could reveal new, hidden sources that are…

Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts during LIGO science run 6 and Virgo science runs 2 and 3

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +807

We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 154 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that were detected by satellite-based gamma-ray experiments in 2009-2010, dur…

Swift follow-up observations of candidate gravitational-wave transient events

P. A. Evans, J. K. Fridriksson, N. Gehrels +813

We present the first multi-wavelength follow-up observations of two candidate gravitational-wave (GW) transient events recorded by LIGO and Virgo in their 2009-2010 science run. Th…

Experimental signatures of the quantum-classical transition in a nanomechanical oscillator modeled as a damped driven double-well problem

Qi Li, Arie Kapulkin, Dustin Anderson +2

We demonstrate robust and reliable signatures for the transition from quantum to classical behavior in the position probability distribution of a damped double-well system using th…

Fixed-point-free elements of iterated monodromy groups

Rafe Jones

The iterated monodromy group of a post-critically finite complex polynomial of degree d \geq 2 acts naturally on the complete d-ary rooted tree T of preimages of a generic point. T…

The characterization of Virgo data and its impact on gravitational-wave searches

J. Aasi, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +798

Between 2007 and 2010 Virgo collected data in coincidence with the LIGO and GEO gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. These data have been searched for GWs emitted by cataclysmic phen…

Extremal Graphs Without 4-Cycles

Frank A. Firke, Peter M. Kosek, Evan D. Nash +1

We prove an upper bound for the number of edges a C4-free graph on q^2 + q vertices can contain for q even. This upper bound is achieved whenever there is an orthogonal polarity gr…
