Inverse Sampling for Nonasymptotic Sequential Estimation of Bounded Variable Means

Xinjia Chen

In this paper, we consider the nonasymptotic sequential estimation of means of random variables bounded in between zero and one. We have rigorously demonstrated that, in order to g…

On the final spin from the coalescence of two black holes

Luciano Rezzolla, Enrico Barausse, Ernst Nils Dorband +4

We provide a compact analytic formula to compute the spin of the black hole produced by the coalescence of two black holes. The expression, which uses an analytic fit of numerical-…

Faithful Effective-One-Body waveforms of equal-mass coalescing black-hole binaries

Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Ernst Nils Dorband +2

We continue the program of constructing, within the Effective-One-Body (EOB) approach, high-accuracy analytic waveforms describing the signal emitted by inspiralling and coalescing…

Correlation of the highest-energy cosmic rays with the positions of nearby active galactic nuclei

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

Data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory provide evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of the cosmic rays with the highest energies, which are correlated with the…

Upper limit on the diffuse flux of UHE tau neutrinos from the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to Earth-skimming tau-neutrinos that interact in the Earth's crust. Tau leptons from charged-cur…

Remarks on Congruence of 3-manifolds

Patrick M. Gilmer

We give two proofs that the 3-torus is not weakly d-congruent to the connected sum of three S^1xS^2's, if d>2. We study how cohomology ring structure relates to weak congruence. We…

Examples of Coorbit Spaces for Dual Pairs

J. G. Christensen, G. Ólafsson

In this paper we summarize and give examples of a generalization of the coorbit space theory initiated in the 1980's by H.G. Feichtinger and K.H. Gröchenig. Coorbit theory has been…

Magnetic field amplification in proto-neutron stars -- The role of the neutron-finger instability for dynamo excitation

L. Naso, L. Rezzolla, A. Bonanno +1

During the first 40 s after their birth, proto-neutron stars are expected to be subject to at least two types of instability: the convective instability and the neutron-finger one.…

Hastening, delaying, or averting sudden death of quantum entanglement

A. R. P. Rau, Mazhar Ali, G. Alber

The finite time end of entanglement between two decohering qubits can be modified by local, unitary actions performed during the decohering process. Depending on the time when such…
