An elementary approach to 6j-symbols (classical, quantum, rational, trigonometric, and elliptic)

Hjalmar Rosengren

Elliptic 6j-symbols first appeared in connection with solvable models of statistical mechanics. They include many interesting limit cases, such as quantum 6j-symbols (or q-Racah po…

Interpreting black hole QPOs

Marek A. Abramowicz, Wlodzimierz Kluzniak

In all the microquasars with two hHz QPOs, the ratio of the frequencies is 3:2, supporting our suggestion that a non-linear resonance between two modes of oscillation in the accret…

Coagulation by Random Velocity Fields as a Kramers Problem

B. Mehlig, M. Wilkinson

We analyse the motion of a system of particles suspended in a fluid which has a random velocity field. There are coagulating and non-coagulating phases. We show that the phase tran…
