Maps of the millimetre sky from the BOOMERanG experiment
In the 1998-99 flight, BOOMERanG has produced maps of $\sim 4 %$ of the sky at high Galactic latitudes, at frequencies of 90, 150, 240 and 410 GHz, with resolution $\simgt 10'$. The faint structure of the Cosmic Microwave Background at horizon and sub-horizon scales is evident in these maps. These maps compare well to ...

Excitation lines and the breakdown of Stokes-Einstein relations in supercooled liquids
By applying the concept of dynamical facilitation and analyzing the excitation lines that result from this facilitation, we investigate the origin of decoupling of transport coefficients in supercooled liquids. We illustrate our approach with two classes of models. One depicts diffusion in a strong glass former, and th...

Toric Fano 3-folds with terminal singularities
This paper classifies all toric Fano 3-folds with terminal singularities. This is achieved by solving the equivalent combinatoric problem; that of finding, up to the action of GL(3,Z), all convex polytopes in Z^3 which contain the origin as the only non-vertex lattice point.

Regularity properties of the profi...

Geometry and the Hidden Order of Luttinger Liquids: the Universality of Squeezed Space
We present the case that Luttinger liquids are characterized by a form of hidden order which is similar, but distinct in some crucial regards, to the hidden order characterizing spin-1 Heisenberg chains. We construct a string correlator for the Luttinger liquid which is similar to the string correlator constructed by d...

On the derivation of amplitude equations for nonlinear oscillators subject to arbitrary forcing

The method allows to consider either additive or multiplicative forcing terms and can be straightforwardly applied to the case that the forcing is white noise. We give examp...

What Causes a System to Satisfy a Specification?
Even when a system is proven to be correct with respect to a specification, there is still a question of how complete the specification is, and whether it really covers all the behaviors of the system. Coverage metrics attempt to check which parts of a system are actually relevant for the verification process to succee...

Responsibility and blame: a structural-model approach
Causality is typically treated an all-or-nothing concept; either A is a cause of B or it is not. We extend the definition of causality introduced by Halpern and Pearl [2001] to take into account the degree of responsibility of A for B. For example, if someone wins an election 11--0, then each person who votes for him i...

High-precision QCD at hadron colliders: electroweak gauge boson rapidity distributions at NNLO
We compute the rapidity distributions of W and Z bosons produced at the Tevatron and the LHC through next-to-next-to leading order in QCD. Our results demonstrate remarkable stability with respect to variations of the factorization and renormalization scales for all values of rapidity accessible in current and future e...

Declarative Semantics for Active Rules
In this paper we analyze declarative deterministic and non-deterministic semantics for active rules. In particular we consider several (partial) stable model semantics, previously defined for deductive rules, such as well-founded, max deterministic, unique total stable model, total stable model, and maximal stable mode...

Preparing Red-Green-Blue (RGB) Images from CCD Data
We present a new, and we believe arguably correct, algorithm for producing Red-Green-Blue (RBG) composites from 3-band astronomical images. Our method ensures that an object with a specified astronomical color (e.g. g-r and r-i) has a unique color in the RGB image, as opposed to the burnt-out white stars to which we ar...

On The Hydrogen Emission From The Type Ia Supernova 2002ic
The discovery of SN 2002ic and subsequent spectroscopic studies have led to the surprising finding that SN 2002ic is a Type Ia supernova with strong ejecta-circumstellar interaction. Here we show that nearly 1 year after the explosion the supernova has become fainter overall, but the H$\alpha$ emission has brightened a...

Low-mass supernovae in the early Galactic halo: source of the double r/s-process enriched halo stars?
Several stars at the low-metallicity extreme of the Galactic halo ([Fe/H]=-2.5) show strong enhancements of both s-process and r-process elements. The presence of s-process elements in main-sequence stars is explained via mass transfer from an AGB companion star in a binary system. r-Process elements originate in type-...

Both systems are quadruply imaged and have similar PG1115-like image configurations. WFI J2026-4536 has a maximum image separation of 1.4", a total brightness of g =...

Equivalence between focussed paraxial beams and the quantum harmonic oscillator
The paraxial approximation to the scalar Helmholtz equation is shown to be equivalent to the Schr\"odinger equation for a quantum harmonic oscillator. This equivalence maps the Gouy-phase of classical wave optics onto the time coordinate of the quantum harmonic oscillator and also helps us understand the qualitative be...

We reconstruct the underlying density field of the 2 degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) for the redshift range 0.035<z<0.200 using the Wiener Filtering method. The Wiener Filter suppresses shot noise and accounts for selection and incompleteness effects. The method relies on prior knowledge of the 2dF power s...

Riemannian geometries on spaces of plane curves
We study some Riemannian metrics on the space of regular smooth curves in the plane, viewed as the orbit space of maps from $S^1$ to the plane modulo the group of diffeomorphisms of $S^1$, acting as reparameterizations. In particular we investigate the metric for a constant $A> 0$: $$ G^A_c(h,k) := \int_{S^1}(1+A\ka_c(...

Comparing the LDA charge density of CoO2 and the Na doped phases indicates that doping does not simply add ele...

They agree if G is discrete, or if G is a Lie group and each element in F compact, or if F is the family of compact subgroups. We dis...

Below 50 K in the tetragonal phase, the chains become straight due to antiferro-orbital orde...

An uncertainty inequality for finite abelian groups
Let G be a finite abelian group of order n. For a complex valued function f on G, let \fht denote the Fourier transform of f. The uncertainty inequality asserts that if f \neq 0 then |supp(f)| |supp(\fht)| \geq n. Answering a question of Terence Tao, the following improvement of the classical inequality is shown: Let d...
