Hydrodynamics of fundamental matter

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Javier Tarrio

First and second order transport coefficients are calculated for the strongly coupled N=4 SYM plasma coupled to massless fundamental matter in the Veneziano limit. The results, inc…

Bohr Hamiltonian with deformation-dependent mass term

Dennis Bonatsos, P. Georgoudis, D. Lenis +2

The Bohr Hamiltonian describing the collective motion of atomic nuclei is modified by allowing the mass to depend on the nuclear deformation. Exact analytical expressions are deriv…

Sugawara-type constraints in hyperbolic coset models

Thibault Damour, Axel Kleinschmidt, Hermann Nicolai

In the conjectured correspondence between supergravity and geodesic models on infinite-dimensional hyperbolic coset spaces, and E10/K(E10) in particular, the constraints play a cen…

Integrability of Five Dimensional Minimal Supergravity and Charged Rotating Black Holes

Pau Figueras, Ella Jamsin, Jorge V. Rocha +1

We explore the integrability of five-dimensional minimal supergravity in the presence of three commuting Killing vectors. We argue that to see the integrability structure of the th…

Weak Chaos and the "Melting Transition" in a Confined Microplasma System

Chris Antonopoulos, Vasileios Basios, Tassos Bountis

We present results demonstrating the occurrence of changes in the collective dynamics of a Hamiltonian system which describes a confined microplasma characterized by long--range Co…

A dynamical inconsistency of Horava gravity

Marc Henneaux, Axel Kleinschmidt, Gustavo Lucena Gómez

The dynamical consistency of the non-projectable version of Horava gravity is investigated by focusing on the asymptotically flat case. It is argued that for generic solutions of t…

Impact of nonlocal interactions in dissipative systems: towards minimal-sized localized structures

L. Gelens, G. Van der Sande, P. Tassin +5

In order to investigate the size limit on spatial localized structures in a nonlinear system, we explore the impact of linear nonlocality on their domains of existence and stabilit…

One-electron atomic-molecular ions containing Lithium in a strong magnetic field

H. Olivares Pilón, D. Baye, A. V. Turbiner +1

The one-electron Li-containing Coulomb systems of atomic type and molecular type , and are studied in the presence of a strong magn…

XML Multidimensional Modelling and Querying

Serge Boucher, Boris Verhaegen, Esteban Zimányi

As XML becomes ubiquitous and XML storage and processing becomes more efficient, the range of use cases for these technologies widens daily. One promising area is the integration o…

The k-in-a-path problem for claw-free graphs

Jiri Fiala, Marcin Kaminski, Bernard Lidicky +1

Testing whether there is an induced path in a graph spanning k given vertices is already NP-complete in general graphs when k=3. We show how to solve this problem in polynomial tim…

Intense Gamma-Ray Lines from Hidden Vector Dark Matter Decay

Chiara Arina, Thomas Hambye, Alejandro Ibarra +1

Scenarios with hidden, spontaneously broken, non-abelian gauge groups contain a natural dark matter candidate, the hidden vector, whose longevity is due to an accidental custodial…

Tight Lower Bounds on the Sizes of Symmetric Extensions of Permutahedra and Similar Results

Kanstantsin Pashkovich

It is well known that the permutahedron Pi_n has 2^n-2 facets. The Birkhoff polytope provides a symmetric extended formulation of Pi_n of size Theta(n^2). Recently, Goemans describ…

Reconciling leptogenesis with observable mu --> e gamma rates

Steve Blanchet, Thomas Hambye, Francois-Xavier Josse-Michaux

We perform a detailed analysis of thermal leptogenesis in the framework of seesaw models which approximately conserve lepton number. These models are known to allow for large Yukaw…

Green's function method for strength function in three-body continuum

Y. Suzuki, W. Horiuchi, D. Baye

Practical methods to compute dipole strengths for a three-body system by using a discretized continuum are analyzed. New techniques involving Green's function are developed, either…

Dark matter stability and unification without supersymmetry

Michele Frigerio, Thomas Hambye

In the absence of low energy supersymmetry, we show that (a) the dark matter particle alone at the TeV scale can improve gauge coupling unification, raising the unification scale u…

Patterns of Soft Masses from General Semi-Direct Gauge Mediation

Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Gabriele Ferretti +1

We give a general formulation of semi-direct gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking where the messengers interact with the hidden sector only through a weakly gauged group. Usin…

Some Algebraic Aspects of Half-BPS Bound States in M-Theory

Laurent Houart, Axel Kleinschmidt, Josef Lindman Hörnlund

We revisit non-marginal half-BPS solutions of M-theory in the framework of the possible existence of an underlying E11 Kac-Moody symmetry. In this context, non-marginal BPS solutio…

Generalized BIons in M-theory

Chethan Krishnan

In string theory, stacks of D1-branes can expand into intersecting D3-branes. These configurations are called (generalized) BIons. We show how the analogous constructions in M-theo…

Current data on the globular cluster Palomar 14 are not inconsistent with MOND

Gianfranco Gentile, Benoit Famaey, Garry W. Angus +1

Certain types of globular clusters have the very important property that the predictions for their kinematics in the Newtonian and modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) contexts are d…

Extending the search for neutrino point sources with IceCube above the horizon

The IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi

Point source searches with the IceCube neutrino telescope have been restricted to one hemisphere, due to the exclusive selection of upward going events as a way of rejecting the at…

Further explorations of Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mass formulas. XI: Stabilizing neutron stars against a ferromagnetic collapse

N. Chamel, S. Goriely, J. M. Pearson

We construct a new Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) mass model, labeled HFB-18, with a generalized Skyrme force. The additional terms that we have introduced into the force are densit…

Effects of the variation of fundamental constants on Pop III stellar evolution

Sylvia Ekstrom, Alain Coc, Pierre Descouvemont +4

A variation of the fundamental constants is expected to affect the thermonuclear rates important for stellar nucleosynthesis. In particular, because of the very small resonant ener…
