Reconstruction of lensing from the cosmic microwave background polarization
Gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization field has been recognized as a potentially valuable probe of the cosmological density field. We apply likelihood-based techniques to the problem of lensing of CMB polarization and show that if the B-mode polarization is mapped, then likelihood-...

Three-Pion Hanbury-Brown-Twiss Correlations in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions from the STAR Experiment
Data from the first physics run at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=130$ GeV, have been analyzed by the STAR Collaboration using three-pion correlations with charged pions to study whether pions are emitted independently at freezeout.

Structure in the early afterglow lightcurve of the gamma-ray burst of 29 March 2003
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are energetic explosions that for 0.01--100 s are the brightest gamma-ray sources in the sky. Observations of the early evolution of afterglows we expected to provide clues about the nature of the bursts, but their rapid fading has hampered such studies; some recent rapid localizations of bursts...

Physics Impact of a Precise Determination of the Top Quark Mass at an e+e- Linear Collider
At a prospective e+e- Linear Collider (LC) a very precise determination of the top quark mass with an accuracy of $\delta m_t <= 100 MeV$ will be possible. This is to be compared with the envisaged accuracy of $\delta m_t = 1-2 GeV$ at the Tevatron and the LHC. We discuss the physics impact of such a precise determinat...

Remarks on the geometry of coordinate projections in R^n
We study geometric properties of coordinate projections.

We compare type 2 and infratype 2 constant of a Banach space. This follows from a comparison...

A comment on: `Some problems with calculating the quantum corrections to the classical 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole'
In a recent publication we noticed that the Hamiltonian density for fluctuations around the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole appeared to be non-Hermitian. Here we show that when this Hamiltonian density is integrated into the Hamiltonian all non-Hermitian terms give a vanishing total contribution.

Updating Probabilities
As examples such as the Monty Hall puzzle show, applying conditioning to update a probability distribution on a ``naive space'', which does not take into account the protocol used, can often lead to counterintuitive results.

Precision Primordial $^4$He Measurement with CMB Experiments
Big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are two major pillars of cosmology. Standard BBN accurately predicts the primordial light element abundances ($^4$He, D, $^3$He and $^7$Li), depending on one parameter, the baryon density. Light element observations are used as a baryometers. The ...

On size and growth of business firms
We study size and growth distributions of products and business firms in the context of a given industry. Firm size growth is analyzed in terms of two basic mechanisms, i.e. the increase of the number of new elementary business units and their size growth. We find a power-law relationship between size and the variance ...

We present the results of a survey for Ly$\alpha$ emitters at $z\approx 5.7$ based on optical narrow-band ($\lambda_{\rm c} = 8150$ \AA ~ and $\Delta\lambda = 120$ \AA), and broad-band ($B$, $R_{\rm C}$, $I_{\rm C}$, and $z^\prime$) observations of the field surrounding the high redshift quasar, SDSSp J104433.04$-$0125...

The emergent properties of a dolphin social network
Many complex networks, including human societies, the Internet, the World Wide Web and power grids, have surprising properties that allow vertices (individuals, nodes, Web pages, etc.) to be in close contact and information to be transferred quickly between them. Nothing is known of the emerging properties of animal so...

Community Structure in Jazz
Using a database of jazz recordings we study the collaboration network of jazz musicians. We define the network at two different levels. First we study the collaboration network between individuals, where two musicians are connected if they have played in the same band. Then we consider the collaboration between bands,...

Finite extinction time for the solutions to the Ricci flow on certain three-manifolds
Let M be a closed oriented three-manifold, whose prime decomposition contains no aspherical factors. We show that for any initial riemannian metric on M the solution to the Ricci flow with surgery, defined in our previous paper math.DG/0303109, becomes extinct in finite time. The proof uses a version of the minimal dis...

The distribution in color and absolute magnitude is presented for 55,158 galaxies taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in the redshift range $0.08<z<0.12$, as a function of galaxy number overdensity in a line-of-sight cylinder of transverse radius $1 h^{-1} \mathrm{Mpc}$. In all environments, bulge-dominated galaxie...

Supernova Neutrino Detection in a liquid Argon TPC
A liquid Argon TPC (ICARUS-like) has the ability to detect neutrino bursts from type-II supernova collapses, via three processes: elastic scattering by electrons from all neutrino species, and $\nu_e$ charged current absorption on $Ar$ with production of excited $K$ and $\bar\nu_e$ charged current absorption on $Ar$ wi...

We interpret these identities in terms of closed random walks on the halfline. We explain how these identities arise from combinatorial interpretations of certain properties of the...

Black hole accretion discs: reality confronts theory
Disc spectra from highly luminous black hole binaries are observed to be rather simple, despite theoretical predictions to the contrary. We collate the disc-dominated spectra from multiple observations of 10 separate sources, and show that these overwhelmingly follow a multi-temperature disc blackbody spectrum with lum...

We obtain several new successful relations involving heavy quarks and provide som...

We report the discovery of a new quadruply imaged quasar surrounded by an optical Einstein ring candidate. Spectra of the different components of 1RXS J113155.4-123155 reveal a source at z=0.658. Up to now, this object is the closest known gravitationally lensed quasar. The lensing galaxy is clearly detected. Its redsh...

Analysis of Grover's quantum search algorithm as a dynamical system
Grover's quantum search algorithm is analyzed for the case in which the initial state is an arbitrary pure quantum state $|\phi>$ of $n$ qubits. It is shown that the optimal time to perform the measurement is independent of $| \phi>$, namely, it is identical to the optimal time in the original algorithm in which $| \ph...

For functions on the Boolean hypercube {0,1}^n, we show a lower bound of Omega(2^{n/4}/n) on the number of queries needed by a quantum computer to solve this problem. More su...

A very simple proof of the obtained result is based on the finite speed propagation property for the solution of the corresponding wave equation. We also discu...

The former is found on the bipartite cubic lattice and is the generalization of the critical point in the square lattice quantum dimer...
