M-branes on U-folds

Martin Cederwall

We give a preliminary discussion of how the addition of extra coordinates in M-theory, which together with the original ones parametrise a U-fold, can serve as a tool for formulati…

Superconductivity in Sr2RuO4-Sr3Ru2O7 eutectic crystals

R. Fittipaldi, A. Vecchione, R. Ciancio +9

Superconducting behavior has been observed in the Sr2RuO4-Sr3Ru2O7 eutectic system as grown by the flux-feeding floating zone technique. A supercurrent flows across a single interf…

Large-N Limit of Crossing Probabilities, Discontinuity, and Asymptotic Behavior of Threshold Values in Mandelbrot's Fractal Percolation Process

Erik I. Broman, Federico Camia

We study Mandelbrot's percolation process in dimension . The process generates random fractal sets by an iterative procedure which starts by dividing the unit cube $[0,1]…

Attractive nearest-neighbor spin systems on the integers in a randomly evolving environment

Marcus Warfheimer

We consider spin systems on (i.e.\ interacting particle systems on in which each coordinate only has two possible values and only one coordinate changes in each transitio…

Stochastic domination for a hidden Markov chain with applications to the contact process in a randomly evolving environment

Erik I. Broman

The ordinary contact process is used to model the spread of a disease in a population. In this model, each infected individual waits an exponentially distributed time with paramete…

Models for dependent extremes using stable mixtures

Anne-Laure Fougères, John P. Nolan, Holger Rootzén

This paper unifies and extends results on a class of multivariate Extreme Value (EV) models studied by Hougaard, Crowder, and Tawn. In these models both unconditional and condition…

Detection of extragalactic H3O+

Floris van der Tak, Susanne Aalto, Rowin Meijerink

The H3O+ molecule probes the oxygen chemistry and the ionization rate of dense circumnuclear gas in galaxies. In particular, recent H3O+ observations show variations in the cosmic-…

Secondary Cosmic Ray particles due to GCR interactions in the Earth's atmosphere

G. Battistoni, F. Cerutti, A. Fassò +8

Primary GCR interact with the Earth's atmosphere originating atmospheric showers, thus giving rise to fluxes of secondary particles in the atmosphere. Electromagnetic and hadronic…

Degenerate principal series representations and their holomorphic extensions

Genkai Zhang

Let be an irreducible real bounded symmetric domain realized as a real form in an Hermitian symmetric domain . The intersection of the Shilov boundary of wit…

Radon transform on symmetric matrix domains

Genkai Zhang

Let $\bbK=\mathbb R, \mathbb C, \mathbb H$ be the field of real, complex or quaternionic numbers and $M_{p, q}(\bbK)$ the vector space of all -matrices. Let be the m…

A residue criterion for strong holomorphicity

Mats Andersson

We give a local criterion in terms of a residue current for strong holomorphicity of a meromorphic function on an arbitrary pure-dimensional analytic variety. This generalizes a re…

Superpotentials From Stringy Instantons Without Orientifolds

Christoffer Petersson

In this paper we show that it is possible to derive non-perturbative superpotential terms from a stringy instanton without introducing orientifold planes. The instanton is realized…

The critical contact process in a randomly evolving environment dies out

Jeffrey E. Steif, Marcus Warfheimer

Bezuidenhout and Grimmett proved that the critical contact process dies out. Here, we generalize the result to the so called contact process in a random evolving environment (CPREE…

The two-type Richardson model with unbounded initial configurations

Maria Deijfen, Olle Häggström

The two-type Richardson model describes the growth of two competing infections on and the main question is whether both infection types can simultaneously grow to oc…

HNC, HCN and CN in Seyfert galaxies

J. P. Pérez-Beaupuits, S. Aalto, H. Gerebro

Bright HNC 1--0 emission has been found towards several Seyfert galaxies. This is unexpected since traditionally HNC is a tracer of cold (10 K) gas, and the molecular gas of lumino…

Finite groups with an automorphism cubing a large fraction of elements

Peter Hegarty

We investigate the possible structures imposed on a finite group by its possession of an automorphism sending a large fraction of the group elements to their cubes, the philosophy…

Zero modes for the magnetic Pauli operator in even-dimensional Euclidean space

Mikael Persson

We study the ground state of the Pauli Hamiltonian with a magnetic field in R^(2d). We consider the case where a scalar potential W is present and the magnetic field B is given by…

IIB solutions with N>28 Killing spinors are maximally supersymmetric

U. Gran, J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos +1

We show that all IIB supergravity backgrounds which admit more than 28 Killing spinors are maximally supersymmetric. In particular, we find that for all N>28 backgrounds the superc…

GaAs:Mn nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy of (Ga,Mn)As at MnAs segregation conditions

J. Sadowski, P. Dluzewski, S. Kret +7

GaAs:Mn nanowires were obtained on GaAs(001) and GaAs(111)B substrates by molecular beam epitaxial growth of (Ga,Mn)As at conditions leading to MnAs phase separation. Their density…

Geometric Lagrangians for massive higher-spin fields

D. Francia

Lagrangians for massive, unconstrained, higher-spin bosons and fermions are proposed. The idea is to modify the geometric, gauge invariant Lagrangians describing the corresponding…

U-Duality and the Compactified Gauss-Bonnet Term

Ling Bao, Johan Bielecki, Martin Cederwall +2

We present the complete toroidal compactification of the Gauss-Bonnet Lagrangian from D dimensions to (D-n) dimensions. Our goal is to investigate the resulting action from the poi…
