Chiral Fermions and Quadratic Divergences

Xavier Calmet, Paul H. Frampton, Ryan M. Rohm

In an approach towards naturalness without supersymmetry, renormalization properties of nonsupersymmetric abelian quiver gauge theories are studied. In the construction based on cy…

Optimized design of universal two-qubit gates

I. A. Grigorenko, D. V. Khveshchenko

We construct optimized implementations of the CNOT and other universal two-qubit gates that, unlike many of the previously proposed protocols, are carried out in a single step. The…

A Survey of Proper Motion Stars. XVII. A Deficiency of Binary Stars on Retrograde Galactic Orbits and the Possibility that omega Centauri is Related to the Effect

Bruce W. Carney, Luis A. Aguilar, David W. Latham +1

We find a deficiency of binary stars moving on strongly retrograde Galactic orbits. No binary deficiencies are seen for U or W velocities, however. From theoretical analyses, we ru…

Metal-poor Field Blue Stragglers: More Evidence for Mass Transfer

Bruce W. Carney, David W. Latham, John B. Laird

We report radial velocity studies of five candidate metal-poor field blue stragglers, all known to be deficient in lithium. Four of the five stars are single-lined spectroscopic bi…

Measurement of the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay and a search for charm mixing

FOCUS Collaboration, J. M. Link

We present an analysis of the decay based on FOCUS data. From a sample of 234 signal events, we find a branching ratio of $\frac{Γ(D^0 \to K^+π^-)}{Γ(D^0 \to K^-π^…

Radial Age and Metal Abundance Gradients in the Stellar Content of M32

James A. Rose, Nobuo Arimoto, Nelson Caldwell +3

We present long-slit spectroscopy of the elliptical galaxy M32, obtained with the 8-m Subaru telescope at Mauna Kea, the 1.5-m Tillinghast telescope at the F. L. Whipple Observator…

Space-Time Symmetries of Noncommutative Spaces

Xavier Calmet

We define a noncommutative Lorentz symmetry for canonical noncommutative spaces. The noncommutative vector fields and the derivatives transform under a deformed Lorentz transformat…

Spin Models and Superconformal Yang-Mills Theory

Louise Dolan, Chiara R. Nappi

We apply novel techniques in planar superconformal Yang-Mills theory which stress the role of the Yangian algebra. We compute the first two Casimirs of the Yangian, which are ident…

Infrared Photometry of NGC 6791

Bruce W. Carney, Jae-Woo Lee, Benjamin Dodson

We present deep JHK photometry of the old and metal-rich open cluster NGC 6791. The photometry reaches below the main sequence turn-off to K = 16.5 mag. We combine our photometry w…

Birth of the Universe from the Landscape of String Theory

Archil Kobakhidze, Laura Mersini-Houghton

We show that a unique, most probable and stable solution for the wavefunction of the universe, with a very small cosmological constant , can be predic…

High-Resolution Spectroscopy of the Transiting Planet Host Star TrES-1

A. Sozzetti, D. Yong, G. Torres +6

We report on a spectroscopic determination of the stellar parameters and chemical abundances for the parent star of the transiting planet TrES-1. Based on a detailed analysis of ir…

Stimulus competition by inhibitory interference

Paul H. Tiesinga

When two stimuli are present in the receptive field of a V4 neuron, the firing rate response is between the weakest and strongest response elicited by each of the stimuli alone (Re…

Dynamics of the Fisher Information Metric

Xavier Calmet, Jacques Calmet

We present a method to generate probability distributions that correspond to metrics obeying partial differential equations generated by extremizing a functional ,…

Estimating marginal survival function by adjusting for dependent censoring using many covariates

Donglin Zeng

One goal in survival analysis of right-censored data is to estimate the marginal survival function in the presence of dependent censoring. When many auxiliary covariates are suffic…

Structural properties of discs and bulges of early-type galaxies

Roelof S. de Jong, Luc Simard, Roger L. Davies +5

We have used the EFAR sample of galaxies to study the light distributions of early-type galaxies. We decompose the 2D light distribution of the galaxies in a flattened spheroidal c…

Neutrix Calculus and Finite Quantum Field Theory

Y. Jack Ng, H. van Dam

In general, quantum field theories (QFT) require regularizations and infinite renormalizations due to ultraviolet divergences in their loop calculations. Furthermore, perturbation…
