Degenerate Maxima in Hamiltonian Systems

Mike Chance

In this paper we explore loops of non-autonomous Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms with degenerate fixed maxima. We show that such loops can not have totally degenerate fixed global maxi…

Multiwavelength Observations of the Runaway Binary HD 15137

M. Virginia McSwain, Michael De Becker, Mallory S. E. Roberts +6

HD 15137 is an intriguing runaway O-type binary system that offers a rare opportunity to explore the mechanism by which it was ejected from the open cluster of its birth. Here we p…

Nonequilibrium Dynamics in Noncommutative Spacetime

Chong-Sun Chu, Chiu Man Ho

We study the effects of spacetime noncommutativity on the nonequilibrium dynamics of particles in a thermal bath. We show that the noncommutative thermal bath does not suffer from…

Positron scattering and annihilation from the hydrogen molecule at zero energy

J. -Y. Zhang, J. Mitroy, K. Varga

The confined variational method is used to generate a basis of correlated gaussians to describe the interaction region wave function for positron scattering from the H molecule…

Convergent Interpolation to Cauchy Integrals over Analytic Arcs with Jacobi-Type Weights

Laurent Baratchart, Maxim Yattselev

We design convergent multipoint Pade interpolation schemes to Cauchy transforms of non-vanishing complex densities with respect to Jacobi-type weights on analytic arcs, under mild…

Orientable embeddings and orientable cycle double covers of projective-planar graphs

M. N. Ellingham, Xiaoya Zha

In a closed 2-cell embedding of a graph each face is homeomorphic to an open disk and is bounded by a cycle in the graph. The Orientable Strong Embedding Conjecture says that every…

Subaru FOCAS Spectroscopic Observations of High-Redshift Supernovae

Tomoki Morokuma, Kouichi Tokita, Christopher Lidman +30

We present spectra of high-redshift supernovae (SNe) that were taken with the Subaru low resolution optical spectrograph, FOCAS. These SNe were found in SN surveys with Suprime-Cam…

On the degree of rapid decay

Bogdan Nica

A finitely generated group $\G$ equipped with a word-length is said to satisfy property RD if there are such that, for all non-negative integers , we have $\|a\|\le…

Liquid-gas phase behavior of polydisperse dipolar hard-sphere fluid: Extended thermodynamic perturbation theory for central force associating potential

Yu. V. Kalyuzhnyi, S. Hlushak, P. T. Cummings

The liquid-gas phase diagram for polydisperse dipolar hard-sphere fluid with polydispersity in the hard-sphere size and dipolar moment is calculated using extension of the recently…

Surface Spline Approximation on SO(3)

Thomas Hangelbroek, Dominik Schmid

The purpose of this article is to introduce a new class of kernels on SO(3) for approximation and interpolation, and to estimate the approximation power of the associated spaces. T…

The Penalized Lebesgue Constant for Surface Spline Interpolation

Thomas Hangelbroek

Problems involving approximation from scattered data where data is arranged quasi-uniformly have been treated by RBF methods for decades. Treating data with spatially varying densi…

Finding a sun in building-free graphs

Elaine M. Eschen, Chinh T. Hoang, Jeremy P. Spinrad +1

Deciding whether an arbitrary graph contains a sun was recently shown to be NP-complete. We show that whether a building-free graph contains a sun can be decided in O(min$\{m{n^3},…

Double Helicity Dependence of Jet Properties from Dihadrons in Longitudinally Polarized p+p Collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV

PHENIX Collaboration

It has been postulated that partonic orbital angular momentum can lead to a significant double-helicity dependence in the net transverse momentum of Drell-Yan dileptons produced in…

Toward solving the cosmological constant problem by embedding

Roman V. Buniy, Thomas W. Kephart

The typical scalar field theory has a cosmological constant problem. We propose a generic mechanism by which this problem is avoided at tree level by embedding the theory into a la…

Modulated pair condensate of p-orbital ultracold fermions

Zixu Zhang, Hsiang-Hsuan Hung, Chiu Man Ho +2

We show that an interesting of pairing occurs for spin-imbalanced Fermi gases under a specific experimental condition---the spin up and spin down Fermi levels lying within the $p_x…
