Extragalactic Thick Disks: Implications for Early Galaxy Evolution
Julianne J. Dalcanton, Anil Seth, Peter Yoachim
I briefly review the growing evidence that thick stellar disks surround most edge-on disk galaxies. Recent studies show that these extragalactic thick disks have old ages, low meta…
Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Formation I: Star Formation, Feedback, Resolution and Matching the Tully--Fisher Relation (among other things)
Fabio Governato, Greg Stinson, J. Wadsley +1
We used fully cosmological, high resolution N-body+SPH simulations to follow the formation of disk galaxies with a rotational velocity between 140 and 280 Km/sec in a Lambda CDM un…
Quantum Mechanics of Lowest Landau Level Derived from N=4 SYM with Chemical Potential
D. Yamada
The low energy effective theory of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory on S^3 with an R-symmetry chemical potential is shown to be the lowest Landau level system. This theory is a holomorp…
General coordinate invariance and conformal invariance in nonrelativistic physics: Unitary Fermi gas
D. T. Son, M. Wingate
We show that the Lagrangian for interacting nonrelativistic particles can be coupled to an external gauge field and metric tensor in a way that exhibits a nonrelativistic version o…
On K3 Surfaces with Large Complex Structure
Adrian Clingher, Charles F. Doran
We discuss a notion of large complex structure for elliptic K3 surfaces with section inspired by the eight-dimensional F-theory/heterotic duality in string theory. This concept is…
Polygonal knot space near ropelength-minimized knots
Kenneth C. Millett, Michael Piatek, Eric J. Rawdon
For a polygonal knot K, it is shown that a tube of radius R(K), the polygonal thickness radius, is an embedded torus. Given a thick configuration K, perturbations of size r<R(K) de…
