The Statistics of Supersymmetric D-brane Models
We investigate the statistics of the phenomenologically important D-brane sector of string compactifications. In particular for the class of intersecting D-brane models, we generalise methods known from number theory to determine the asymptotic statistical distribution of solutions to the tadpole cancellation condition...

Bath Assisted Cooling of Spins
A suitable sequence of sharp pulses applied to a spin coupled to a bosonic bath can cool its state, i.e., increase its polarization or ground state occupation probability. Starting from an unpolarized state of the spin in equilibrium with the bath, one can reach very low temperatures or sizeable polarizations within a ...

Limits on the detectability of the CMB B-mode polarization imposed by foregrounds
We investigate which practical constraints are imposed by foregrounds to the detection of the B-mode polarization generated by gravitational waves in the case of experiments of the type currently being planned. Because the B-mode signal is probably dominated by foregrounds at all frequencies, the detection of the cosmo...

Fisher's Information for Discretely Sampled Levy Processes
This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the Fisher information for a Levy process discretely sampled at an increasing frequency. We show that it is possible to distinguish not only the continuous part of the process from its jumps part, but also different types of jumps, and derive the rates of convergence of eff...

More precisely, every singularity of finite type over Z (up ...

A Stronger Subadditivity of Entropy
The strong subadditivity of entropy plays a key role in several areas of physics and mathematics. It states that the entropy S[\rho]= - Tr (\rho \ln \rho) of a density matrix \rho_{123} on the product of three Hilbert spaces satisfies S[\rho_{123}] - S[\rho_{23}] \leq S[\rho_{12}]- S[\rho_2]. We strengthen this to S[\r...

The Baryonic Branch of Klebanov-Strassler Solution: a Supersymmetric Family of SU(3) Structure Backgrounds
We exhibit a one-parameter family of regular supersymmetric solutions of type IIB theory that interpolates between Klebanov-Strassler (KS) and Maldacena-Nunez (MN). The solution is obtained by applying the supersymmetry conditions for SU(3)-structure manifolds to an interpolating ansatz proposed by Papadopoulos and Tse...

Complete Characterization of the Equivalent MIMO Channel for Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Codes
Recently, a quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (QSTBC) capable of achieving a significant fraction of the outage mutual information of a multiple-input-multiple output (MIMO) wireless communication system for the case of four transmit and one receive antennas was proposed. We generalize these results to $n_T=2^n$ t...

Construction of the Thermodynamic Jamming Limit for the Parking Process and Other Exclusion Schemes on Z^d
We provide an explicit construction of the thermodynamic jamming limit for the parking process and other finite range exclusion schemes on Z^d. By means thereof, a strong law of large numbers for occupation densities is accomplished, and, amongst other results, the so called "super-exponential" (i.e. gamma) decay of pa...

Measurement of the Cross Section for Prompt Diphoton Production in p-pbar Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV
We report a measurement of the rate of prompt diphoton production in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96 ~\hbox{TeV}$ using a data sample of 207 pb$^{-1}$ collected with the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF II). The background from non-prompt sources is determined using a statistical method based on diff...

A Local Method for Detecting Communities
We propose a novel method of community detection that is computationally inexpensive and possesses physical significance to a member of a social network. This method is unlike many divisive and agglomerative techniques and is local in the sense that a community can be detected within a network without requiring knowled...

The Disruption of Stellar Clusters Containing Massive Black Holes near the Galactic Center
We present results from dynamical Monte Carlo simulations of dense star clusters near the Galactic center. These clusters sink toward the center of the Galaxy by dynamical friction. During their inspiral, they may undergo core collapse and form an intermediate-mass black hole through runaway collisions. Such a cluster ...

Soft lubrication: the elastohydrodynamics of non-conforming and conforming contacts
We study the lubrication of fluid-immersed soft interfaces and show that elastic deformation couples tangential and normal forces and thus generates lift. We consider materials that deform easily, due to either geometry (e.g. a shell) or constitutive properties (e.g. a gel or a rubber), so that the effects of pressure ...

The NuMI Neutrino Beam at Fermilab
The Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) facility at Fermilab began operations in late 2004. NuMI will deliver an intense muon neutrino beam of variable energy (2-20 GeV) directed into the Earth at 58 mrad for short (~1km) and long (~700-900 km) baseline experiments. Several aspects of the design and results from earl...

Stochastic optimal control of delay equations arising in advertising models
We consider a class of optimal control problems of stochastic delay differential equations (SDDE) that arise in connection with optimal advertising under uncertainty for the introduction of a new product to the market, generalizing classical work of Nerlove and Arrow (1962). In particular, we deal with controlled SDDE ...

Measurement of the Lifetime Difference Between B_s Mass Eigenstates

The low-frequency component of the instrument noise stream is modelled as a superposition of a set of simple base functions, whose amplitudes are determine...

TeV mu Neutrinos from Young Neutron Stars
Neutron stars are efficient accelerators for bringing charges up to relativistic energies. We show that if positive ions are accelerated to ~1 PeV near the surface of a young neutron star (t_age < about 10^5 yr), protons interacting with the star's radiation field will produce beamed mu neutrinos with energies of ~50 T...

Entanglement under restricted operations: Analogy to mixed-state entanglement
We show that the classification of bi-partite pure entangled states when local quantum operations are restricted yields a structure that is analogous in many respects to that of mixed-state entanglement. Specifically, we develop this analogy by restricting operations through local superselection rules, and show that su...

Constants of Weitzenb\"ock derivations and invariants of unipotent transformations acting on relatively free algebras
In commutative algebra, a Weitzenb\"ock derivation is a nonzero triangular linear derivation of the polynomial algebra $K[x_1,...,x_m]$ in several variables over a field $K$ of characteristic 0. The classical theorem of Weitzenb\"ock states that the algebra of constants is finitely generated. (This algebra coincides wi...

We show that every real nonnegative polynomial $f$ can be approximated as closely as desired by a sequence of polynomials $\{f_\epsilon\}$ that are sums of squares. Each $f_\epsilon$ has a simple et explicit form in terms of $f$ and $\epsilon$. A special representation is also obtained for convex polynomials, nonnegati...
