Mixing time of exponential random graphs

Shankar Bhamidi, Guy Bresler, Allan Sly

Exponential random graphs are used extensively in the sociology literature. This model seeks to incorporate in random graphs the notion of reciprocity, that is, the larger than exp…

The Effects of the pep Nuclear Reaction and Other Improvements in the Nuclear Reaction Rate Library on Simulations of the Classical Nova Outburst

S. Starrfield, C. Iliadis, W. R. Hix +2

We have continued our studies of the Classical Nova outburst by evolving TNRs on 1.25Msun and 1.35Msun WDs (ONeMg composition) under conditions which produce mass ejection and a ra…

The Euler adic dynamical system and path counts in the Euler graph

K. Petersen, A. Varchenko

We give a formula for generalized Eulerian numbers, prove monotonicity of sequences of certain ratios of the Eulerian numbers, and apply these results to obtain a new proof that th…

Conformal Supergravity Tree Amplitudes from Open Twistor String Theory

Louise Dolan, Jay N. Ihry

We display the vertex operators for all states in the conformal supergravity sector of the twistor string, as outlined by Berkovits and Witten. These include `dipole' states, which…

The Impact of Uncertainties in Reaction Q-values on Nucleosynthesis in Type I X-Ray Bursts

A. Parikh, J. Jose, C. Iliadis +2

Nucleosynthesis in Type I X-ray bursts may involve up to several thousand nuclear processes. The majority of these processes have only been determined theoretically due to the lack…

Limitations of anthropic predictions for the cosmological constant : Cosmic Heat Death of Anthropic Observers

L. Mersini-Houghton, F. Adams

This paper investigates anthropic bounds on the vacuum energy . We first consider the possibility of cosmic observers existing at any random time (including the future) for cons…

Two New Variable Hot DQ Stars

B. N. Barlow, B. H. Dunlap, R. Rosen +1

We have discovered periodic variations in the light curves of two hot DQ stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, SDSS J220029.08-074121.5 and SDSS J234843.30-094245.3. These are t…

Dominance, Intimidation, and `Choking' on the PGA Tour

Robert A. Connolly, Richard J. Rendleman

Extending the work of Connolly and Rendleman (2008), we document the dominance of Tiger Woods during the 1998-2001 PGA Tour seasons. We show that by playing "average," Woods could…

Spacetime Foam and Dark Energy

Y. Jack Ng

Due to quantum fluctuations, spacetime is foamy on small scales. The degree of foaminess is found to be consistent with the holographic principle. One way to detect spacetime foam…
