Geodesically Tracking Quasi-geodesic Paths for Coxeter Groups

Michael L. Mihalik, Steven Tschantz

The main theorem of this paper classifies the quasi-geodesics in a Coxeter group that are tracked by geodesics. As corollaries, we show that if a Coxeter group acts geometrically o…

Stellar jitter from variable gravitational redshift: implications for RV confirmation of habitable exoplanets

H. M. Cegla, C. A. Watson, T. R. Marsh +6

A variation of gravitational redshift, arising from stellar radius fluctuations, will introduce astrophysical noise into radial velocity measurements by shifting the centroid of th…

A model of superluminal neutrinos

D. Marfatia, H. Päs, S. Pakvasa +1

Motivated by the tentative observation of superluminal neutrinos by the OPERA experiment, we present a model of active-sterile neutrino oscillations in which sterile neutrinos are…

Pseudo-rip: Cosmological models intermediate between the cosmological constant and the little rip

Paul H. Frampton, Kevin J. Ludwick, Robert J. Scherrer

If we assume that the cosmic energy density will remain constant or strictly increase in the future, then the possible fates for the universe can be divided into four categories ba…

The geometry of the conjugacy problem in lamplighter groups

Andrew W. Sale

In this note we investigate the conjugacy problem in lamplighter groups with particular interest in the role of their geometry. In particular we show that the conjugacy length func…

Finitely presented groups related to Kaplansky's Direct Finiteness Conjecture

Ken Dykema, Timo Heister, Kate Juschenko

We consider a family of finitely presented groups, called Universal Left Invertible Element (or ULIE) groups, that are universal for existence of one--sided invertible elements in…

The contribution of age structure to cell population responses to targeted therapeutics

Pierre Gabriel, Shawn P. Garbett, Vito Quaranta +2

Cells grown in culture act as a model system for analyzing the effects of anticancer compounds, which may affect cell behavior in a cell cycle position-dependent manner. Cell synch…

Luminosity Discrepancy in the Equal-Mass, Pre--Main Sequence Eclipsing Binary Par 1802: Non-Coevality or Tidal Heating?

Y. Gómez Maqueo Chew, K. G. Stassun, A. Prša +5

Parenago 1802, a member of the ~1 Myr Orion Nebula Cluster, is a double-lined, detached eclipsing binary in a 4.674 d orbit, with equal-mass components (M_2/M_1 = 0.985 \pm 0.029).…

Hyperbolically embedded subgroups and rotating families in groups acting on hyperbolic spaces

F. Dahmani, V. Guirardel, D. Osin

We introduce and study the notions of hyperbolically embedded and very rotating families of subgroups. The former notion can be thought of as a generalization of the peripheral str…

The -Gaussian Process

Natasha Blitvić

We introduce a two-parameter deformation of the classical Bosonic, Fermionic, and Boltzmann Fock spaces that is a refinement of the -Fock space of [BS91]. Starting with a real,…

Convergence analysis of the Gibbs sampler for Bayesian general linear mixed models with improper priors

Jorge Carlos Román, James P. Hobert

Bayesian analysis of data from the general linear mixed model is challenging because any nontrivial prior leads to an intractable posterior density. However, if a conditionally con…

Dark Radiation from Particle Decays during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

Justin L. Menestrina, Robert J. Scherrer

Cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations suggest the possibility of an extra dark radiation component, while the current evidence from big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) is more…
