Conformal invariance and the conformal-traceless decomposition of the gravitational field
Einstein's theory of general relativity is written in terms of the variables obtained from a conformal--traceless decomposition of the spatial metric and extrinsic curvature. The determinant of the conformal metric is not restricted, so the action functional and equations of motion are invariant under conformal transfo...

Towards Automated Integration of Guess and Check Programs in Answer Set Programming: A Meta-Interpreter and Applications
Answer set programming (ASP) with disjunction offers a powerful tool for declaratively representing and solving hard problems. Many NP-complete problems can be encoded in the answer set semantics of logic programs in a very concise and intuitive way, where the encoding reflects the typical "guess and check" nature of N...

The 3-point function in large scale structure: redshift distortions and galaxy bias
We study the behavior of the three-point correlation function xi_3 of dark matter and mock galaxies, concentrating on the effects of redshift-space distortions and the determination of galaxy bias parameters in current redshift galaxy surveys. On large scales, redshift space distortions tend to wash out slightly the co...

Boundary Scattering in 1+1 Dimensions as an Aharanov-Bohm Effect
The boundary scattering problem in 1+1 dimensional CFT is relevant to a multitude of areas of physics, ranging from the Kondo effect in condensed matter theory to tachyon condensation in string theory.

The formation and evolution of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB white dwarfs: the emerging chemical profile and the expectations for the PG1159-DB-DQ evolutionary connection
This paper is designed to explore the formation and evolution of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB white dwarfs. To this end, we compute the complete evolution of an initially 2.7 M_sun star from the zero-age main sequence through the thermally pulsing and mass-loss phases to the white dwarf stage. Particular attention is gi...

Gravitational perturbations of the Schwarzschild spacetime: A practical covariant and gauge-invariant formalism
We present a formalism to study the metric perturbations of the Schwarzschild spacetime. The formalism is gauge invariant, and it is also covariant under two-dimensional coordinate transformations that leave the angular coordinates unchanged. The formalism is applied to the typical problem of calculating the gravitatio...

We find that the nuclear X-ray spectrum is well-fitted with an absorbed power-law, and that the...

The Substellar Mass Function: A Bayesian Approach

New observations regarding deterministic, time reversible thermostats and Gauss's principle of least constraint
Deterministic thermostats are frequently employed in non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations in order to remove the heat produced irreversibly over the course of such simulations. The simplest thermostat is the Gaussian thermostat, which satisfies Gauss's principle of least constraint and fixes the peculiar kine...

GEMS: The Size Evolution of Disk Galaxies
We combine HST imaging from the GEMS survey with photometric redshifts from COMBO-17 to explore the evolution of disk-dominated galaxies since z<1.1. The sample is comprised of all GEMS galaxies with Sersic indices n<2.5, derived from fits to the galaxy images. We account fully for selection effects through careful ana...

Topology regulates pattern formation capacity of binary cellular automata on graphs
We study the effect of topology variation on the dynamic behavior of a system with local update rules. We implement one-dimensional binary cellular automata on graphs with various topologies by formulating two sets of degree-dependent rules, each containing a single parameter. We observe that changes in graph topology ...

An invariance property of kernel based predictors

Linking physics and algorithms in the random-field Ising model
The energy landscape for the random-field Ising model (RFIM) is complex, yet algorithms such as the push-relabel algorithm exist for computing the exact ground state of an RFIM sample in time polynomial in the sample volume. Simulations were carried out to investigate the scaling properties of the push-relabel algorith...

The structural data deduced from X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the sample has the same structure as $2H-TaS_2$. A series of crystals with different superconducting transition temperatures ($T_c$) ranging from 2.5 K to 4.4 K were ob...

We also calculate the electron spectrum resulting from heavy flavor decays to allow direct comparison to the data. A rigorous benchmark, including the theoretical uncertainties, is establ...

Optimal Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity for Precise Action Potential Firing

We find that the optimal strategy of up...

The vast majority of the stars in our sample show narrow (FWHM < 100 km/s) emission lines, centered on the stellar radial velocity. In only three sources is the feature much broader (~400 km/s), and strong...
