Linear stability analysis of the Couette flow for the two dimensional non-isentropic compressible Euler equations
This note is devoted to the linear stability of the Couette flow for the non-isentropic compressible Euler equations in a domain $\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{R}$.

Global Attractor for the Periodic Generalized Korteweg-de Vries Equation Through Smoothing
We establish a smoothing result for the generalized KdV (gKdV) on the torus with polynomial non-linearity, damping, and forcing that matches the smoothing level for the gKdV at $H^1$. As a consequence, we establish the existence of a global attractor for this equation as well as its compactness in $H^s(\mathbb{T})$, $s...

On the Well-Posedness of Two Driven-Damped Gross Pitaevskii-Type Models for Exciton-Polariton Condensates

Dynamics and Nonmonotonic Drag for Individually Driven Skyrmions
We examine the motion of an individual skyrmion driven through an assembly of other skyrmions by a constant or increasing force in the absence of quenched disorder. The skyrmion behavior is determined by the ratio of the damping and Magnus terms, as expressed in terms of the intrinsic skyrmion Hall angle. For a fixed d...

The Extended Star Formation History of the Andromeda Spheroid at Twenty One Kiloparsecs on the Minor Axis
Using the HST ACS, we have obtained deep optical images of a southeast minor-axis field in the Andromeda Galaxy, 21 kpc from the nucleus. In both star counts and metallicity, this field represents a transition zone between the metal-rich, highly-disturbed inner spheroid that dominates within 15 kpc and the metal-poor, ...

Irreversible spin-transfer and magnetization reversal under spin-injection
In the context of spin electronics, the two spin-channel model assumes that the spin carriers are composed of two distinct populations: the conduction electrons of spin up, and the conduction electrons of spin down. In order to distinguish the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic contributions in spin injection, we describe ...

Krull dimension and deviation in certain parafree groups
Hanna Neumann asked whether it was possible for two non-isomorphic residually nilpotent finitely generated (fg) groups, one of them free, to share the lower central sequence. Gilbert Baumslag answered the question in the affirmative and thus gave rise to parafree groups. A group G is termed parafree of rank n if it is ...

Domain wall dynamics driven by adiabatic spin transfer torques
In a first approximation, known as the adiabatic process, the direction of the spin polarization of currents is parallel to the local magnetization vector in a domain wall. Thus the spatial variation of the direction of the spin current inside the domain wall results in an adiabatical spin transfer torque on the magnet...

The Minimum Distance Problem for Two-Way Entanglement Purification
Entanglement purification takes a number of noisy EPR pairs and processes them to produce a smaller number of more reliable pairs. If this is done with only a forward classical side channel, the procedure is equivalent to using a quantum error-correcting code (QECC). We instead investigate entanglement purification pro...

Enhanced algorithms for Local Search
Let G=(V,E) be a finite graph, and f:V->N be any function. The Local Search problem consists in finding a local minimum of the function f on G, that is a vertex v such that f(v) is not larger than the value of f on the neighbors of v in G. In this note, we first prove a separation theorem slightly stronger than the one...
