Quantum mechanical bootstrap without inequalities: SYK bilinear spectrum

Kok Hong Thong, David Vegh

We study a quantum mechanical system whose spectrum coincides with that of bilinear operators of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. The standard positivity-based quantum mechanical boots…

State-space algorithm for detecting the nanohertz gravitational wave background

Tom Kimpson, Andrew Melatos, Joseph O'Leary +11

The stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) can be observed in the nanohertz band using a pulsar timing array (PTA). Here a computationally efficient state-space framework…

Newtonian restricted three-body gravitational problem with positive and negative point masses

K. H. Thong, A. Melatos

The Newtonian restricted three-body problem involving a positive primary point mass, , and a negative secondary point mass, , in a circular orbit, and a positive or negat…

State-space analysis of a continuous gravitational wave source with a pulsar timing array: inclusion of the pulsar terms

Tom Kimpson, Andrew Melatos, Joseph O'Leary +11

Pulsar timing arrays can detect continuous nanohertz gravitational waves emitted by individual supermassive black hole binaries. The data analysis procedure can be formulated withi…

Magnetic coupling through flux branching of adjacent type-I and -II superconductors in a neutron star

K. H. Thong, A. Melatos

The inner and outer cores of neutron stars are believed to contain type-I and -II proton superconductors, respectively. The type-I superconductor exists in an intermediate state, c…
