Shear banding, aging and noise dynamics in soft glassy materials

S M Fielding, M E Cates, P Sollich

The `soft glassy rheology' (SGR) model gives an appealing account of the flow of nonergodic soft materials in terms of the local yield dynamics of mesoscopic elements. Newtonian, p…

Non-extensive statistics in stringy space-time foam models and entangled meson states

Nick E. Mavromatos, Sarben Sarkar

The possibility of generation of non-extensive statistics, in the sense of Tsallis, due to space-time foam is discussed within the context of a particular kind of foam in string/br…

A non-abelian Stickelberger theorem

David Burns, Henri Johnston

Let L/k be a finite Galois extension of number fields with Galois group G. For every odd prime p satisfying certain mild technical hypotheses, we use values of Artin L-functions to…

Exploring the Star Formation History of Elliptical Galaxies: Beyond Simple Stellar Populations with a New Estimator of Line Strengths

Ben Rogers, Ignacio Ferreras, Reynier F. Peletier +1

(Abridged) We study the stellar populations of 14 elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster. We propose an alternative approach to the standard side-band method to measure equivalen…

Cosmology and the Noncommutative approach to the Standard Model

William Nelson, Mairi Sakellariadou

We study cosmological consequences of the noncommutative approach to the standard model. Neglecting the nonminimal coupling of the Higgs field to the curvature, noncommutative corr…

Branon stabilization from fermion-induced radiative corrections

Jean Alexandre, Darrel Yawitch

We consider a 3-brane embedded in 5-dimensional space time characterized by a Gaussian warp factor, for which the four-dimensional effective theory for brane fluctuation (branons)…
