The MiMeS Project: First Results

J. H. Grunhut, E. Alecian, D. A. Bohlender +11

Massive stars are those stars with initial masses above about 8 times that of the sun, eventually leading to catastrophic explosions in the form of supernovae. These represent the…

Distances between pairs of vertices and vertical profile in conditioned Galton--Watson trees

Luc Devroye, Svante Janson

We consider a conditioned Galton-Watson tree and prove an estimate of the number of pairs of vertices with a given distance, or, equivalently, the number of paths of a given length…

Discovery of very low amplitude 9-minute multiperiodic pulsations in the magnetic Ap star HD 75445

O. Kochukhov, S. Bagnulo, G. Lo Curto +1

We present our discovery of pulsational radial-velocity variations in the cool Ap star HD 75445, an object spectroscopically similar to the bright, rapidly-oscillating Ap (roAp) st…

Spin-Transfer Torque in Helical Spin-Density Waves

O. Wessely, B. Skubic, L. Nordstrom

The current driven magnetisation dynamics of a helical spin-density wave is investigated. Expressions for calculating the spin-transfer torque of real systems from first principles…

Predictions for the cusp in eta->3pi0 decay

C. -O. Gullström, A. Kupść, A. Rusetsky

A realistic estimate of the cusp effect in the eta->3pi0 decay is required for the forthcoming high precision experiments. The predictions for the size of this effect are given wit…

Light-ion production in the interaction of 96 MeV neutrons with carbon

U. Tippawan, S. Pomp, J. Blomgren +13

Double-differential cross sections for light-ion (p, d, t, 3He and alpha) production in carbon induced by 96 MeV neutrons have been measured at eight laboratory angles from 20 degr…

Theory of spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy applied to local spins

J. Fransson, O. Eriksson, A. V. Balatsky

We provide a theory for scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy using a spin-polarized tip. It it shown that the tunneling conductance can be partitioned into three separate…

Hard bremsstrahlung in the pp -> pp gamma reaction

A. Johansson, C. Wilkin

The pp -> pp gamma reaction has been measured at a beam energy of 310 MeV by detecting both final protons in the PROMICE-WASA facility and identifying a missing-mass peak. For thos…

Koszul duality for stratified algebras II. Standardly stratified algebras

Volodymyr Mazorchuk

We give a complete picture of the interaction between Koszul and Ringel dualities for graded standardly stratified algebras (in the sense of Cline, Parshall and Scott) admitting li…

Jahn-Teller induced Berry phase in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates

Jonas Larson, Erik Sjoqvist

We demonstrate that Berry phases may greatly affect the dynamics of spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates. The effective model Hamiltonian under consideration is shown to be…

AGATA: Gamma-ray tracking in segmented HPGe detectors

P. -A. Söderström, A. Al-Adili, J. Nyberg +3

The next generation of radioactive ion beam facilities, which will give experimental access to many exotic nuclei, are presently being developed. At the same time the next generati…

Asymptotics for a special solution of the thirty fourth Painleve equation

A. R. Its, A. B. J. Kuijlaars, J. Ostensson

In a previous paper we studied the double scaling limit of unitary random matrix ensembles of the form Z_{n,N}^{-1} |\det M|^{2α} e^{-N \Tr V(M)} dM with α> -1/2. The factor |\det…

Generalized Kahler geometry and gerbes

C. M. Hull, U. Lindström, M. Roček +2

We introduce and study the notion of a biholomorphic gerbe with connection. The biholomorphic gerbe provides a natural geometrical framework for generalized Kahler geometry in a ma…

Measurement of the eta->3pi0 Dalitz Plot Distribution with the WASA Detector at COSY

COSY Collaboration

In the first production run of the WASA experiment at COSY, the eta decay into three neutral pions was measured in proton-proton interactions at a proton beam kinetic energy of 1.4…

Colour rearrangements in B-meson decays

David Eriksson, Gunnar Ingelman, Johan Rathsman

We present a new model, based on colour rearrangements, which at the same time can describe both hidden and open charm production in B-meson decays. The model is successfully compa…

Standing on the shoulders of giants: Trojan Earths and vortex trapping in low mass self-gravitating protoplanetary disks of gas and solids

W. Lyra, A. Johansen, H. Klahr +1

Centimeter and meter sized solid particles in protoplanetary disks are trapped within long lived high pressure regions, creating opportunities for collapse into planetesimals and p…

A note on the convergence of parametrised non-resonant invariant manifolds

Tomas Johnson, Warwick Tucker

Truncated Taylor series representations of invariant manifolds are abundant in numerical computations. We present an aposteriori method to compute the convergence radii and error e…

On Analytic Perturbations of a Family of Feigenbaum-like Equations

Denis Gaidashev

We prove existence of solutions of a family of of Feigenbaum-like equations \label{family} ϕ(x)={1+\eps \over λ} ϕ(ϕ(λx)) -\eps x +τ(x), where $\eps$ is a small real number…

Period Doubling in Area-Preserving Maps: An Associated One Dimensional Problem

Denis Gaidashev, Hans Koch

It has been observed that the famous Feigenbaum-Coullet-Tresser period doubling universality has a counterpart for area-preserving maps of $\field{R}^2$. A renormalization approach…
