Gravomagnetic Lensing by NUT Space

Mohammad Nouri-Zonoz, Donald Lynden-Bell

Using the fact that the null geodesics in NUT space lie on spatial cones, we consider the gravomagnetic lens effect on light rays passing a NUT deflector. We show that this effect…

Fractals of the Julia and Mandelbrot sets of the Riemann Zeta Function

S. C. Woon

Computations of the Julia and Mandelbrot sets of the Riemann zeta function and observations of their properties are made. In the appendix section, a corollary of Voronin's theorem…

AgapeZ1: a Large Amplification Microlensing Event or an Odd Variable Star Towards the Inner Bulge of M31

R. Ansari, M. Auriere, P. Baillon +14

AgapeZ1 is the brightest and the shortest duration microlensing candidate event found in the Agape data. It occured only 42" from the center of M31. Our photometry shows that the h…

Superfluid Flow Past an Array of Scatterers

D. Taras-Semchuk, J. M. F. Gunn

We consider a model of nonlinear superfluid flow past a periodic array of point-like scatterers in one dimension. An application of this model is the determination of the critical…

Existence of Majorana fermions for M-branes wrapped in space and time

A. Chamblin

We show that it is possible to define Majorana (s)pinor fields on M-branes which have been identified under the action of the antipodal map on the adS factor of the throat geometry…

Infrared galaxies

Andrew W. Blain

To study large-scale structure in the Universe a full census of the contents are required. This is even more important when the processes of galaxy formation are being investigated…

A Measurement of the tau->electron Branching Ratio

The OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al

The branching ratio for the decay tau->e nue nutau has been measured using Z0 decay data collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP. In total 33073 tau->e nue nutau candidates were id…

A spacetime dual to the NUT spacetime

Mohammad Nouri-Zonoz, Naresh Dadhich, D. Lynden-Bell

By decomposing the Riemann curvature into electric and magnetic parts, a duality transformation, which involves interchange of active and passive electric parts, has recently been…

Constraints on Omega_Lambda and Omega_m from Distant Type 1a Supernovae and Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies

G. Efstathiou, S. L. Bridle A. N. Lasenby, M. P. Hobson +1

We perform a combined likelihood analysis of the latest cosmic microwave background anisotropy data and distant Type 1a Supernova data of Perlmutter etal (1998a). Our analysis is r…

Final states in small x deep inelastic scattering

J. R. Forshaw, A. Sabio Vera, B. R. Webber

This talk summarises our work on the calculation of small- jet rates within the BFKL and CCFM approaches. The two approaches are proven to yield the same results at the leading…

On Accelerated Inertial Frames in Gravity and Electromagnetism

D. Lynden-Bell, J. Bicak, J. Katz

When a charged insulating spherical shell is uniformly accelerated, an oppositely directed electric field is produced inside. Outside the field is the Born field of a uniformly acc…

Anomalous Low Temperature States in CeNi2Ge2

F. M. Grosche, P. Agarwal, S. R. Julian +7

Ambient pressure studies on high purity single crystals of the stoichiometric 4f-electron metal CeNi2Ge2 reveal anomalous low temperature forms of the resistivity which challenge o…

Precession of collimated outflows from young stellar objects

C. Terquem, J. Eisloffel, J. Papaloizou +1

We consider several protostellar systems where either a precessing jet or at least two misaligned jets have been observed. We assume that the precession of jets is caused by tidal…
