Zhang's conjecture and squares of abelian surfaces

F. Pazuki

We give in this paper some squares of abelian surfaces that are counterexamples to a conjecture formulated by Zhang about the intersection of subvarieties and preperiodic points.

Reversible nonreciprocity in photonic structures infiltrated with liquid crystals

Andrey E. Miroshnichenko, Etienne Brasselet, Yuri S. Kivshar

We demonstrate how to achieve reversible nonreciprocal optical response in a periodic photonic structure with a pair of defects, one of them being a nonlinear liquid crystal defect…

Fast construction of the Kohn--Sham response function for molecules

Peter Koval, Dietrich Foerster, Olivier Coulaud

The use of the LCAO (Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals) method for excited states involves products of orbitals that are known to be linearly dependent. We identify a basis in…

Macroscopic effects of the spectral structure in turbulent flows

Tuan Tran, Pinaki Chakraborty, Nicholas Guttenberg +5

Two aspects of turbulent flows have been the subject of extensive, split research efforts: macroscopic properties, such as the frictional drag experienced by a flow past a wall, an…

Gallot-Tanno Theorem for closed incomplete pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and applications

Vladimir S. Matveev, Pierre Mounoud

We extend the Gallot-Tanno Theorem to closed pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. It is done by showing that if the cone over a manifold admits a parallel symmetric tensor then it…

Counting colored planar maps: algebraicity results

Olivier Bernardi, Mireille Bousquet-Mélou

We address the enumeration of properly q-colored planar maps, or more precisely, the enumeration of rooted planar maps M weighted by their chromatic polynomial χ_M(q) and counted b…

Semiclassical statistico-dynamical description of polyatomic photo-dissociations: State-resolved distributions

Maykel Leonardo Gonzalez-Martinez, Laurent Bonnet, Pascal Larregaray +1

An alternative methodology to investigate indirect polyatomic processes with quasi-classical trajectories is proposed, which effectively avoids any binning or weighting procedure w…

Global descent obstructions for varieties

Jean-Marc Couveignes, Emmanuel Hallouin

We show how to transport descent obstructions from the category of covers to the category of varieties. We deduce examples of curves having $\QQ$ as field of moduli, that admit mod…

Resonant magneto-conductance through a vibrating nanotube

G. Rastelli, M. Houzet, F. Pistolesi

We address the electronic resonant transport in presence of a transverse magnetic field through the single level of a suspended carbon nanotube acting as a quantum oscillator. We p…

A joint spectro-imaging analysis of the XMM-Newton and HESS observations of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946

F. Acero, J. Ballet, A. Decourchelle +5

The supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946 (also known as G347.3-0.5) is part of the class of remnants dominated by synchrotron emission in X-rays. It is also one of the few shell…

Proposal for a Raman X-ray Free Electron Laser

Philippe Balcou

A scheme for an X-ray free electron laser is proposed, based on a Raman process occurring during the interaction between a moderately relativistic bunch of free electrons, and twin…

The beta-gamma decay of 21Na

N. L. Achouri, J. -C. Angélique, G. Ban +15

A new and independent determination of the Gamow-Teller branching ratio in the beta-decay of 21Na is reported. The value obtained of 5.13 +- 0.43 % is in agreement with the current…

Deciphering Spectral Fingerprints of Habitable Extrasolar Planets

L. Kaltenegger, F. Selsis, M. Fridlund +2

In this paper we discuss how we can read a planets spectrum to assess its habitability and search for the signatures of a biosphere. After a decade rich in giant exoplanet detectio…

Correlations for pairs of periodic trajectories for open billiards

Vesselin Petkov, Luchezar Stoyanov

In this paper we prove two asymptotic estimates for pairs of closed trajectories for open billiards similar to those established by Pollicott and Sharp for closed geodesics on nega…
