THE SHELL MAP: The structure of froths through a dynamical map
The shell map is a very simple representation of the structure of foams, combining the geometrical (random tiling) and dynamical (loss of information from an arbitrary cell out) aspects of disorder. The structure is built from the central cell outward like an ever expanding jigsaw puzzle without boundary. The radial ma...

The implications of radio-quiet neutron stars
We collate the evidence for rotation-powered neutron stars that are visible as X-ray sources and not as radio pulsars. Quantitative upper limits exist for the radio fluxes of eight objects, revealing a population at least an order of magnitude less luminous at radio wavelengths than known radio pulsars of similar power...

Quantum Properties of Topological Black Holes
We examine quantum properties of topological black holes which are asymptotically anti--de Sitter. First, massless scalar fields and Weyl spinors which propagate in the background of an anti--de Sitter black hole are considered in an exactly soluble two--dimensional toy model. The Boulware--, Unruh--, and Hartle--Hawki...

The static spacetime relative acceleration for the general free fall and its possible experimental test
Mishra has recently established, using a generic static metric, the relative local proper-time 3-acceleration of a test-particle in one-dimensional free fall relative to a static reference frame in any static spacetime. In this paper, on the grounds of gravitoelectromagnetism we establish, in a covariant spacetime form...

No Time Machine Construction in Open 2+1 Gravity with Timelike Total Energy Momentum
It is shown that in 2+1 dimensional gravity an open spacetime with timelike sources and total energy momentum cannot have a stable compactly generated Cauchy horizon. This constitutes a proof of a version of Kabat's conjecture and shows, in particular, that not only a Gott pair cannot be formed from processes such as t...

Phase Behavior of Binary Fluid Mixtures Confined in a Model Aerogel
It is found experimentally that the coexistence region of a vapor-liquid system or a binary mixture is substantially narrowed when the fluid is confined in a aerogel with a high degree of porosity (e.g. of the order of 95% to 99%). A Hamiltonian model for this system has recently been introduced (J.Donley PRE 55:539, 1...

Dense Quantum Coding and a Lower Bound for 1-way Quantum Automata

On the other hand, we show that quantum encodings ...

Gravitational waves from hot young rapidly rotating neutron stars
Gravitational radiation drives an instability in the r-modes of young rapidly rotating neutron stars. This instability is expected to carry away most of the angular momentum of the star by gravitational radiation emission, leaving a star rotating at about 100 Hz. In this paper we model in a simple way the development o...

Cold bosonic atoms in optical lattices
The dynamics of an ultracold dilute gas of bosonic atoms in an optical lattice can be described by a Bose-Hubbard model where the system parameters are controlled by laser light. We study the continuous (zero temperature) quantum phase transition from the superfluid to the Mott insulator phase induced by varying the de...

Bulk vs. Boundary Dynamics in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime
We investigate the details of the bulk-boundary correspondence in Lorentzian signature anti-de Sitter space. Operators in the boundary theory couple to sources identified with the boundary values of non-normalizable bulk modes. Such modes do not fluctuate and provide classical backgrounds on which bulk excitations prop...

Quantum Counting
We study some extensions of Grover's quantum searching algorithm. First, we generalize the Grover iteration in the light of a concept called amplitude amplification. Then, we show that the quadratic speedup obtained by the quantum searching algorithm over classical brute force can still be obtained for a large family o...

Star Formation Rates in Faint Radio Galaxies
The decimetric radio continuum luminosity of a star-forming galaxy appears to be directly proportional to the rate of formation of supernovae in the galaxy. Since decimetric radiation does not suffer significant extinction and is not directive, radio luminosities may thus provide a particularly straightforward way to d...

Discovery of Linguistic Relations Using Lexical Attraction
This work has been motivated by two long term goals: to understand how humans learn language and to build programs that can understand language. Using a representation that makes the relevant features explicit is a prerequisite for successful learning and understanding. Therefore, I chose to represent relations between...

A proposal to search for a monochromatic component of solar axions using $^{57}$Fe
A new experimental scheme is proposed to search for almost monochromatic solar axions, whose existence has not been discussed heretofore. The axions would be produced when thermally excited $^{57}$Fe in the sun relaxes to its ground state and could be detected via resonant excitation of the same nuclide in a laboratory...

A mode-coupling theory for the pasty rheology of soft glassy materials
In this paper, we introduce a simple mode-coupling model for concentrated suspensions under flow . This model exhibits a jamming transition, and stress vs shear rate relations which are very similar to experimental results. Namely newtonian regime or yield stress are followed by a slow variation of the stress for highe...

Astrometric Microlensing of Stars
Due to dramatic improvements in the precision of astrometric measurements, the observation of light centroid shifts in observed stars due to intervening massive compact objects (`astrometric microlensing') will become possible in the near future. Upcoming space missions, such as SIM and GAIA, will provide measurements ...

Automatic summarising: factors and directions
This position paper suggests that progress with automatic summarising demands a better research methodology and a carefully focussed research strategy. In order to develop effective procedures it is necessary to identify and respond to the context factors, i.e. input, purpose, and output factors, that bear on summarisi...

Bihamiltonian Geometry, Darboux Coverings, and Linearization of the KP Hierarchy
We use ideas of the geometry of bihamiltonian manifolds, developed by Gel'fand and Zakharevich, to study the KP equations. In this approach they have the form of local conservation laws, and can be traded for a system of ordinary differential equations of Riccati type, which we call the Central System. We show that the...

Radio Wavelength Constraints on the Sources of the Far Infrared Background
The cosmic far infrared background detected recently by the COBE-DIRBE team is presumably due, in large part, to the far infrared (FIR) emission from all galaxies. We take the well-established correlation between FIR and radio luminosity for individual galaxies and apply it to the FIR background. We find that these sou...

Exceptional quotient singularities
A singularity is said to be exceptional (in the sense of V. Shokurov), if for any log canonical boundary, there is at most one exceptional divisor of discrepancy -1. In our previous paper (math.AG/9805004) we found two examples of exceptional canonical singularities: these are quotients by Klein's simple group of order...

Convex probability domain of generalized quantum measurements
Generalized quantum measurements with N distinct outcomes are used for determining the density matrix, of order d, of an ensemble of quantum systems. The resulting probabilities are represented by a point in an N-dimensional space. It is shown that this point lies in a convex domain having at most d^2-1 dimensions.

Quantum Circuits with Mixed States
We define the model of quantum circuits with density matrices, where non-unitary gates are allowed. Measurements in the middle of the computation, noise and decoherence are implemented in a natural way in this model, which is shown to be equivalent in computational power to standard quantum circuits. The main result in...

Resummation of Cactus Diagrams in Lattice QCD
We show how to perform a resummation, to all orders in perturbation theory, of a certain class of gauge invariant diagrams in Lattice QCD. These diagrams are often largely responsible for lattice artifacts. Our resummation leads to an improved perturbative expansion. Applied to a number of cases of interest, this expan...
