On the volatile enrichments and heavy element content in HD 189733b

O. Mousis, J. I. Lunine, J. -M. Petit +13

Favored theories of giant planet formation center around two main paradigms, namely the core accretion model and the gravitational instability model. These two formation scenarios…

Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Six Magnetars

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +765

Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are thought to be magnetars: neutron stars powered by extreme magnetic fields. These rare objects are characterized b…

Presenting parabolic subgroups

François Dahmani, Vincent Guirardel

Consider a relatively hyperbolic group G. We prove that if G is finitely presented, so are its parabolic subgroups. Moreover, a presentation of the parabolic subgroups can be found…

Derived categories and rationality of conic bundles

Marcello Bernardara, Michele Bolognesi

We show that a standard conic bundle over a minimal rational surface is rational and its Jacobian splits as the direct sum of Jacobians of curves if and only if its derived categor…

Groups with faithful irreducible projective unitary representations

Bachir Bekka, Pierre de la Harpe

For a countable group G and a multiplier c on G with values in the circle, we study the property of G having a unitary projective c-representation which is both irreducible and pro…

A generalized virial theorem and the balance of kinetic and potential energies in the semiclassical limit

D. R. Yafaev

We obtain two-sided bounds on kinetic and potential energies of a bound state of a quantum particle in the semiclassical limit, as the Planck constant $\hbar\ri 0$. Proofs of these…

About the possible role of hydrocarbon lakes in the origin of Titan's noble gas atmospheric depletion

D. Cordier, O. Mousis, J. I. Lunine +4

An unexpected feature of Titan's atmosphere is the strong depletion in primordial noble gases revealed by the Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer aboard the Huygens probe during it…

Reducible braids and Garside theory

Juan Gonzalez-Meneses, Bert Wiest

We show that reducible braids which are, in a Garside-theoretical sense, as simple as possible within their conjugacy class, are also as simple as possible in a geometric sense. Mo…

Coupling techniques for nonlinear hyperbolic equations. I. Self-similar diffusion for thin interfaces

Benjamin Boutin, Frédéric Coquel, Philippe G. LeFloch

We investigate various analytical and numerical techniques for the coupling of nonlinear hyperbolic systems and, in particular, we introduce here an augmented formulation which all…

Electrically induced tunable cohesion in granular systems

Jean-François Métayer, Patrick Richard, Alain Faisant +1

Experimental observations of confined granular materials in the presence of an electric field that induces cohesive forces are reported. The angle of repose is found to increase wi…

Normal subgroups in the Cremona group (long version)

Serge Cantat, Stéphane Lamy

Let k be an algebraically closed field. We show that the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane P^2 over k is not a simple group. The strategy make…
