Droplets in isotropic turbulence: deformation and breakup statistics

Samriddhi Sankar Ray, Dario Vincenzi

The statistics of the deformation and breakup of neutrally buoyant sub-Kolmogorov ellipsoidal drops is investigated via Lagrangian simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence.…

GW170817: Implications for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Compact Binary Coalescences

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1099

The LIGO Scientific and Virgo Collaborations have announced the first detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of two neutron stars. The merger rate of binary neutron…

First search for nontensorial gravitational waves from known pulsars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1050

We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric…

Reinforcement Learning Produces Dominant Strategies for the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma

Marc Harper, Vincent Knight, Martin Jones +3

We present tournament results and several powerful strategies for the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma created using reinforcement learning techniques (evolutionary and particle swarm a…

Rational invariants of even ternary forms under the orthogonal group

Paul Görlach, Evelyne Hubert, Théo Papadopoulo

In this article we determine a generating set of rational invariants of minimal cardinality for the action of the orthogonal group on the space $\mathbb{R}[x,y,z]_{2…

Turbulent Mass Inhomogeneities induced by a point-source

Simon Thalabard

We describe how turbulence distributes tracers away from a localized source of injection, and analyse how the spatial inhomogeneities of the concentration field depend on the amoun…

GW170104: Observation of a 50-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence at Redshift 0.2

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1048

We describe the observation of GW170104, a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of a pair of stellar-mass black holes. The signal was measured on January 4, 2017 a…

Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 in the first Advanced LIGO observing run with a hidden Markov model

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1043

Results are presented from a semi-coherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1, using data collected during the first A…

A note on some constants related to the zeta-function and their relationship with the Gregory coefficients

Iaroslav V. Blagouchine, Marc-Antoine Coppo

In this paper new series for the first and second Stieltjes constants (also known as generalized Euler's constant), as well as for some closely related constants are obtained. Thes…

Fully guided-wave photon pair source for quantum applications

Panagiotis Vergyris, Florian Kaiser, Elie Gouzien +3

We report a fully guided-wave source of polarisation entangled photons based on a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide mounted in a Sagnac interferometer. We demonstrate th…

Spatio-temporal canards in neural field equations

Daniele Avitabile, Mathieu Desroches, Edgar Knobloch

Canards are special solutions to ordinary differential equations that follow invariant repelling slow manifolds for long time intervals. In realistic biophysical single cell models…

Pseudo-simple heteroclinic cycles in

Pascal Chossat, Alexander Lohse, Olga Podvigina

We study pseudo-simple heteroclinic cycles for a -equivariant system in with finite , and their nearby dynamics. In particular, in a first step towards a fu…
