Photometric Covariance in Multi-Band Surveys: Understanding the Photometric Error in the SDSS
Ryan Scranton, Andrew J. Connolly, Alexander S. Szalay +5
In this paper we describe a detailed analysis of the photometric uncertainties present within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging survey based on repeat observations of app…
Stein's Method and Random Character Ratios
Jason Fulman
Stein's method is used to prove limit theorems for random character ratios. Tools are developed for four types of structures: finite groups, Gelfand pairs, twisted Gelfand pairs, a…
Effective theory of excitations in a Feshbach resonant superfluid
W. Vincent Liu
A strongly interacting Fermi gas, such as that of cold atoms operative near a Feshbach resonance, is difficult to study by perturbative many-body theory to go beyond mean field app…
Gravitational Instability of a Kink
W. Barreto, R. Gomez, L. Lehner +1
We study the equilibria of a self-gravitating scalar field in the region outside a reflecting barrier. By introducing a potential difference between the barrier and infinity, we cr…
Quotient singularities, integer ratios of factorials and the Riemann Hypothesis
Alexander Borisov
The goal of this paper is to reveal a close connection between the following three subjects that have not been studied together in the past: terminal and canonical cyclic quotient…
