Cohomology of compact hyperkaehler manifolds
Let M be a compact simply connected hyperk\"ahler (or holomorphically symplectic) manifold, \dim H^2(M)=n. Assume that M is not a product of hyperkaehler manifolds. We prove that the Lie algebra so(n-3,3) acts by automorphisms on the cohomology ring H^*(M). Under this action, the space H^2(M) is isomorphic to the funda...

A Stochastic Diffusion Model of Climate Change
We present a model for variations in atmospheric temperature from time scales of one day to one million years based on a stochastic diffusion (random walk) model of the turbulent transport of heat energy vertically in a coupled atmosphere-ocean model. The predictions of the model are supported by station records and pa...

Hadley circulations and large scale motions of moist convection in the two dimensional numerical model
As a tool for understanding the meridional circulation of the atmosphere, a two-dimensional ( latitude -- height ) numerical model is used to clarify the relationship between the Hadley circulation and large-scale motions associated with moist convection. The model is based on the primitive equations including the mois...

Mechanisms of Seasonal - ENSO interaction
The mechanisms of interaction between the seasonal cycle and ENSO are investigated using the Zebiak and Cane ENSO prediction model. The most dominant seasonal effect is found to be due to the wind divergence field, as determined by the seasonal motion of the ITCZ, through its effect on the atmospheric heating. The next...

Are There MeV Gamma-Ray Bursts?
It is often stated that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have typical energies of several hundred keV. Is this a real feature of GRBs or is it due to an observational bias? We consider the possibility that bursts of a given bolometric luminosity occur with a hardness distribution $p(H)d \log H \propto H^\gamma d \log H$. We mod...

An analytic model for the spatial clustering of dark matter haloes
We develop a simple analytic model for the gravitational clustering of dark matter haloes to understand how their spatial distribution is biased relative to that of the mass. The statistical distribution of dark haloes within the initial density field (assumed Gaussian) is determined by an extension of the Press-Schech...

A Constraint on the Distance Scale to Cosmological Gamma--Ray Bursts
