Multiplicity of the Galactic Senior Citizens: A high-resolution search for cool subdwarf companions

Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law, Christoph Baranec +2

Cool subdwarfs are the oldest members of the low mass stellar population. Mostly present in the galactic halo, subdwarfs are characterized by their low metallicity. Measuring their…

New Constraints on Quantum Gravity from X-ray and Gamma-Ray Observations

Eric S. Perlman, Saul A. Rappaport, Wayne A. Christensen +3

One aspect of the quantum nature of spacetime is its "foaminess" at very small scales. Many models for spacetime foam are defined by the accumulation power , which parameterizes…

Connections between conjectures of Alon-Tarsi, Hadamard-Howe, and integrals over the special unitary group

Shrawan Kumar, J. M. Landsberg

We show the Alon-Tarsi conjecture on Latin squares is equivalent to a very special case of a conjecture made independently by Hadamard and Howe, and to the non-vanishing of some in…
