Upper limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background using LIGO and Virgo interferometers at 600-1000 Hz

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +782

A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical…

Fonctions Régulues

Goulwen Fichou, Johannes Huisman, Frédéric Mangolte +1

We study the ring of rational functions admitting a continuous extension to the real affine space. We establish several properties of this ring. In particular, we prove a strong Nu…

On the Picard number of K3 surfaces over number fields

François Charles

We discuss some aspects of the behavior of specialization at a finite place of Néron-Severi groups of K3 surfaces over number fields. We give optimal lower bounds for the Picard nu…

Liquid films with high surface modulus moving in tubes: dynamic wetting film and jumpy motion

Isabelle Cantat, Benjamin Dollet

We investigate the motion through a wet tube of transverse soap films, or lamellae, of high surface dilatationnal modulus. Combining local thickness and velocity measurements in th…

Time-Inconsistent Stochastic Linear--Quadratic Control

Ying Hu, Hanqing Jin, Xun Yu Zhou

In this paper, we formulate a general time-inconsistent stochastic linear--quadratic (LQ) control problem. The time-inconsistency arises from the presence of a quadratic term of th…

Hyperbolically embedded subgroups and rotating families in groups acting on hyperbolic spaces

F. Dahmani, V. Guirardel, D. Osin

We introduce and study the notions of hyperbolically embedded and very rotating families of subgroups. The former notion can be thought of as a generalization of the peripheral str…

Modeling error in Approximate Deconvolution Models

Adrian Dunca, Roger Lewandowski

We investigate the assymptotic behaviour of the modeling error in approximate deconvolution model in the 3D periodic case, when the order of deconvolution goes to . We…

All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Full S5 LIGO Data

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +794

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6e-9 Hz/s. Such a…

Tropical geometries and dynamics of biochemical networks. Application to hybrid cell cycle models

Vincent Noel, Dima Grigoriev, Sergei Vakulenko +1

We use the Litvinov-Maslov correspondence principle to reduce and hybridize networks of biochemical reactions. We apply this method to a cell cycle oscillator model. The reduced an…

Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves using LIGO S5 science data

J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +712

The gravitational-wave (GW) sky may include nearby pointlike sources as well as astrophysical and cosmological stochastic backgrounds. Since the relative strength and angular distr…

Fibrations in complete intersections of quadrics, Clifford algebras, derived categories, and rationality problems

Asher Auel, Marcello Bernardara, Michele Bolognesi

Let X -> Y be a fibration whose fibers are complete intersections of two quadrics. We develop new categorical and algebraic tools---a theory of relative homological projective dual…

Homogenization of high-contrast two-phase conductivities perturbed by a magnetic field. Comparison between dimension two and dimension three

Marc Briane, Laurent Pater

Homogenized laws for sequences of high-contrast two-phase non-symmetric conductivities perturbed by a parameter are derived in two and three dimensions. The parameter chara…
