Explicit formulae for stochastic equilibria

Matt Visser

Finding the stochastic equilibria for finite-state stochastic matrices amounts to solving an eigen\-vector problem . Various techniques for doing so are known, some extremel…

Sierpinski's Hypothesis H1

Matt Visser

Sierpinski's Hypothesis H1, formulated in 1958, is the conjecture that (provided ), when the first counting numbers, , are arranged in a square, th…

Effective short intervals containing primes

Matt Visser

95 years ago Hoheisel proved the existence of primes in the sub-linear interval \[ \left[x, x+x^{1-{1\over 33000}}\right] \qquad \hbox{for sufficiently large}. \] This was impr…

Behaviour of the sequence

Matt Visser

The well-known sequence exhibits numerous extremely interesting properties. Since $p_n = \exp(\varthe…

Exact analytic photon escape cones and silhouettes for extremal Kerr

Joshua Baines, Matt Visser

We exhibit exact analytic, fully explicit, photon escape cones and related silhouettes ("shadows") at arbitrary distance from the extremal Kerr black hole. In contrast to the situa…

Perturbative photon escape cones in the Kerr spacetime

Joshua Baines, Matt Visser

We consider the perturbative, fully explicit, analytical behaviour of photon escape cones in the Kerr spacetime. When one conducts the fully general non-perturbative Kerr analysis,…

Heat kernel regularization of the effective action for stochastic reaction-diffusion equations

David Hochberg, Carmen Molina-Paris, Matt Visser

The presence of fluctuations and non-linear interactions can lead to scale dependence in the parameters appearing in stochastic differential equations. Stochastic dynamics can be f…

Dirty black holes: Entropy as a surface term

Matt Visser

It is by now clear that the naive rule for the entropy of a black hole, {entropy} = 1/4 {area of event horizon}, is violated in many interesting cases. Indeed, several authors have…
