Effects of Variable Newton Constant During Inflation
In this paper the effects of time-dependent Newton constant G during inflation are studied. We present the formalism of curvature perturbations in an inflationary system with a time-dependent Newton constant. As an example we consider a toy model in which G undergoes a sudden change during inflation. By imposing the ap...

Spherical steady accretion flows -- dependence on the cosmological constant, exact isothermal solutions and applications to cosmology
We investigate spherical, isothermal and polytropic steady accretion models in the presence of the cosmological constant. Exact solutions are found for three classes of isothermal fluids, assuming the test gas approximation. The cosmological constant damps the mass accretion rate and - above certain limit - completely ...

Quasinormal modes of the spherical bumblebee black holes with a global monopole
The bumblebee model is an extension of the Einstein-Maxwell theory that allows for the spontaneous breaking of the Lorentz symmetry of the spacetime. In this paper, we study the quasinormal modes of the spherical black holes in this model that are characterized by a global monopole. We analyze the two cases with a vani...

Influence of radiative damping on the optical-frequency susceptibility
Motivated by recent discussions concerning the manner in which damping appears in the electric polarizability, we show that (a) there is a dependence of the nonresonant contribution on the damping and that (b) the damping enters according to the "opposite sign prescription." We also discuss the related question of how ...

We show that if this does occur, then there are two possibilities for the resulting neutron-star evolution: ...

Radiative Precession of an Isolated Neutron Star
Euler's equations of motion are derived exactly for a rigid, triaxial, internally frictionless neutron star spinning down electromagnetically in vacuo. It is shown that the star precesses, but not freely: its regular precession relative to the principal axes of inertia couples to the component of the radiation torque a...

Effects of Resonance in Quasiperiodic Oscillators of Neutron Star Binaries
Using a large quantity of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data presented in the literature I offer a detailed investigation into the accuracy of quasiperiodic oscillations (QPO) frequency determination. The QPO phenomenon seen in X-ray binaries is possibly a result of the resonance of the intrinsic (eigen) oscillations and...

The early build-up of dust in galaxies: A study of Damped Ly alpha Systems
We present a study of the early build-up of dust in high redshift galaxies. The study is based on the analysis of 38 Damped Ly alpha systems (DLAs) for which we derive the fraction of iron atoms in dust form, f_{Fe}. The sample is representative of metal-poor galaxies in the redshift range 0.6 </= z </= 3.4 selected on...

The Chemical Composition of Alpha Centauri A: Strong Lines and the ABO Theory of Collisional Line Broadening
The mean abundances of Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr and Fe based on both strong and weak lines of Alpha Centauri A are determined by matching the observed line profiles with those synthesized from stellar atmospheric models and comparing these results with a similar analysis for the Sun. There is good agreement between the abund...

The Complex Gap in Color Superconductivity
We solve the gap equation for color-superconducting quark matter in the 2SC phase, including both the energy and the momentum dependence of the gap, \phi=\phi(k_0,\vk). For that purpose a complex Ansatz for \phi is made. The calculations are performed within an effective theory for cold and dense quark matter. The solu...

Superfluid-normal phase transition in finite systems and its effect on damping of hot giant resonances
Thermal fluctuations of quasiparticle number are included making use of the secondary Bogolyubov's transformation, which turns quasiparticles operators into modified-quasiparticle ones. This restores the unitarity relation for the generalized single-particle density operator, which is violated within the Hartree-Fock-B...

Dissipative Quantum Systems with Potential Barrier. General Theory and Parabolic Barrier
We study the real time dynamics of a quantum system with potential barrier coupled to a heat-bath environment. Employing the path integral approach an evolution equation for the time dependent density matrix is derived. The time evolution is evaluated explicitly near the barrier top in the temperature region where quan...

Is a gas of strongly interacting atomic fermions a nearly perfect fluid?
We use all-optical methods to produce a highly-degenerate Fermi gas of spin-1/2 $^6$Li atoms. A magnetic field tunes the gas near a collisional (Feshbach) resonance, producing strong interactions between spin-up and spin-down atoms. This atomic gas is a paradigm for strong interactions in nature, and provides tests of ...

Multi-mode entanglement of N harmonic oscillators coupled to a non-Markovian reservoir
Multi-mode entanglement is investigated in the system composed of $N$ coupled identical harmonic oscillators interacting with a common environment. We treat the problem very general by working with the Hamiltonian without the rotating-wave approximation and by considering the environment as a non-Markovian reservoir to...

New searches for HI 21-cm in damped Lyman-alpha absorption systems
We present the results of three separate searches for HI 21-cm absorption in a total of twelve damped Lyman-alpha absorption systems (DLAs) and sub-DLAs over the redshift range z = 0.86-3.37. We find no absorption in the five systems for which we obtain reasonable sensitivities and add the results to those of other rec...

A refined empirical stability criterion for nonlinear Schroedinger solitons under spatiotemporal forcing
We investigate the dynamics of travelling oscillating solitons of the cubic NLS equation under an external spatiotemporal forcing of the form $f(x,t) = a \exp[iK(t)x]$. For the case of time-independent forcing a stability criterion for these solitons, which is based on a collective coordinate theory, was recently conje...

Low-Energy Effective Field Theory for Chromo-Natural Inflation
Chromo-natural inflation is a novel model of inflation which relies on the existence of non-abelian gauge fields interacting with an axion. In its simplest realization, an SU(2) gauge field is assumed to begin inflation in a rotationally invariant VEV. The dynamics of the gauge fields significantly modifies the equatio...

Multi-dimensional fractional wave equation and some properties of its fundamental solution
In this paper, a multi-dimensional fractional wave equation that describes propagation of the damped waves is introduced and analyzed. In contrast to the fractional diffusion-wave equation, the fractional wave equation contains fractional derivatives of the same order $\alpha,\ 1\le \alpha \le 2$ both in space and in t...

The nature of Damped Lyman-α and MgII absorbers explored with their dust contents
We estimate the abundance of dust in damped Lyman-{\alpha} absorbers (DLAs) by statistically measuring the excess reddening they induce on their background quasars. We detect systematic reddening behind DLA consistent with the SMC type reddening curve, but it is inconsistent with the Milky Way type reddening. We find t...

Landau Damping in Relativistic Plasmas
We examine the phenomenon of Landau Damping in relativistic plasmas via a study of the relativistic Vlasov-Poisson system (rVP) on the torus for initial data sufficiently close to a spatially uniform steady state. We find that if the steady state is regular enough (essentially in a Gevrey class of degree in a specified...

Localized and propagating excitations in gapped phases of spin systems with bond disorder
Using the conventional $T$-matrix approach, we discuss gapped phases in 1D, 2D, and 3D spin systems (both with and without a long range magnetic order) with bond disorder and with weakly interacting bosonic elementary excitations. This work is motivated by recent experimental and theoretical activity in spin-liquid-lik...

Fundamental limits in heat assisted magnetic recording and methods to overcome it with exchange spring structures
The switching probability of magnetic elements for heat assisted recording is investigated. It is found that FePt elements with a diameter of 5 nm and a height of 10nm show, at a field of 0.5 T, thermally written in errors of 12 percent, which is significant too large for bit patterned magnetic recording. Thermally wri...

A framework for studying the effect of compliant surfaces on wall turbulence
This paper extends the resolvent formulation proposed by McKeon & Sharma (2010) to consider turbulence-compliant wall interactions. Under this formulation, the turbulent velocity field is expressed as a linear superposition of propagating modes, identified via a gain-based decomposition of the Navier-Stokes equations. ...

ETEAPOT: symplectic orbit/spin tracking code for all-electric storage rings
Proposed methods for measuring the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the proton use an intense, polarized proton beam stored in an all-electric storage ring "trap". At the "magic" kinetic energy of 232.792 MeV, proton spins are "frozen", for example always parallel to the instantaneous particle momentum. This paper des...
