Instantaneous fields in classical electrodynamics

Jose A. Heras

In this paper we express the retarded fields of Maxwell's theory in terms of the instantaneous fields of a Galilei-invariant electromagnetic and we find the vector function whose s…

Comment on 'A generalized Helmholtz theorem for time-varying vector fields by A. M. Davis, [Am. J. Phys. 74, 72-76 (2006)]'

Jose A. Heras

In a recent paper Davis formulated a generalized Helmholtz theorem for a time-varying vector field in terms of the Lorenz gauge retarded potentials. The purposes of this comment ar…

Preacceleration without radiation: the non-existence of preradiation phenomenon

Jose A. Heras

An unexpected prediction of classical electrodynamics is that a charge can accelerate before a force is applied. We would expect that a preaccelerated charge would radiate so that…

How far away is far enough for extracting numerical waveforms, and how much do they depend on the extraction method?

Enrique Pazos, Ernst Nils Dorband, Alessandro Nagar +3

We present a method for extracting gravitational waves from numerical spacetimes which generalizes and refines one of the standard methods based on the Regge--Wheeler--Zerilli pert…

Learning about compact binary merger: the interplay between numerical relativity and gravitational-wave astronomy

Thomas Baumgarte, Patrick Brady, Jolien D E Creighton +3

Activities in data analysis and numerical simulation of gravitational waves have to date largely proceeded independently. In this work we study how waveforms obtained from numerica…

A General Framework for Extending Means to Higher Orders

Jimmie Lawson, Yongdo Lim

In this paper we study the problem of extending means to means of higher order. We show how higher order means can be inductively defined and established in general metric spaces,…

Head-on collisions of boson stars

C. Palenzuela, I. Olabarrieta, L. Lehner +1

We study head-on collisions of boson stars in three dimensions. We consider evolutions of two boson stars which may differ in their phase or have opposite frequencies but are other…

The Hubble Diagram to Redshift >6 from 69 Gamma-Ray Bursts

Bradley E. Schaefer

One of the few ways to measure the properties of Dark Energy is to extend the Hubble daigram (HD) to higher redshifts with Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). GRBs have at least five properti…

Interplane and intraplane heat transport in quasi two-dimensional nodal superconductors

I. Vekhter, A. Vorontsov

We analyze the behavior of the thermal conductivity in quasi-two dimensional superconductors with line nodes. Motivated by measurements of the anisotropy between the interplane and…

A Bootstrapping Approach for Generating Maximally Path-Entangled Photon States

Kishore T Kapale, Jonathan P Dowling

We propose a bootstrapping approach to generation of maximally path-entangled states of photons, so called ``NOON states''. Strong atom-light interaction of cavity QED can be emplo…

General linear-optical quantum state generation scheme: Applications to maximally path-entangled states

N. M. VanMeter, P. Lougovski, D. B. Uskov +3

We introduce schemes for linear-optical quantum state generation. A quantum state generator is a device that prepares a desired quantum state using product inputs from photon sourc…

Congruence and similarity of 3-manifolds

Patrick M. Gilmer

Let f be an integer greater than one. We study three progressively finer equivalence relations on closed 3-manifolds generated by Dehn surgery with denominator f: weak f-congruence…

An explicit harmonic code for black-hole evolution using excision

Bela Szilagyi, Denis Pollney, Luciano Rezzolla +2

We describe an explicit in time, finite-difference code designed to simulate black holes by using the excision method. The code is based upon the harmonic formulation of the Einste…

Gravitational waves from Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals in non-pure Kerr spacetimes

Enrico Barausse, Luciano Rezzolla, David Petroff +1

To investigate the imprint on the gravitational-wave emission from extreme mass-ratio inspirals in non-pure Kerr spacetimes, we have studied the ``kludge'' waveforms generated in h…

Rotating Collapse of Stellar Iron Cores in General Relativity

Christian D. Ott, Harald Dimmelmeier, Andreas Marek +4

We present results from the first 2+1 and 3+1 simulations of the collapse of rotating stellar iron cores in general relativity employing a finite-temperature equation of state and…

Further Results on Lyapunov Functions for Slowly Time-Varying Systems

Frederic Mazenc, Michael Malisoff

We provide general methods for explicitly constructing strict Lyapunov functions for fully nonlinear slowly time-varying systems. Our results apply to cases where the given dynamic…

Non-axisymmetric instability and fragmentation of general relativistic quasi-toroidal stars

Burkhard Zink, Nikolaos Stergioulas, Ian Hawke +3

In a recent publication, we have demonstrated that differentially rotating stars admit new channels of black hole formation via fragmentation instabilities. Since a higher order in…
