Analysis of airplane boarding via space-time geometry and random matrix theory
We show that airplane boarding can be asymptotically modeled by 2-dimensional Lorentzian geometry. Boarding time is given by the maximal proper time among curves in the model. Discrepancies between the model and simulation results are closely related to random matrix theory. We then show how such models can be used to ...

Dynamically controlled toroidal and ring-shaped magnetic traps

Simple adjustment of the radio-frequency fields provides versatile possibilities for dynamical parameter tuning, topology change, and c...

Approximately Universal Codes over Slow Fading Channels
Performance of reliable communication over a coherent slow fading channel at high SNR is succinctly captured as a fundamental tradeoff between diversity and multiplexing gains. We study the problem of designing codes that optimally tradeoff the diversity and multiplexing gains. Our main contribution is a precise charac...

Reconstruction on trees and spin glass transition
Consider an information source generating a symbol at the root of a tree network whose links correspond to noisy communication channels, and broadcasting it through the network. We study the problem of reconstructing the transmitted symbol from the information received at the leaves. In the large system limit, reconstr...

PURRS: Towards Computer Algebra Support for Fully Automatic Worst-Case Complexity Analysis
Fully automatic worst-case complexity analysis has a number of applications in computer-assisted program manipulation. A classical and powerful approach to complexity analysis consists in formally deriving, from the program syntax, a set of constraints expressing bounds on the resources required by the program, which a...

Asymptotic perfect fluid dynamics as a consequence of AdS/CFT
We study the dynamics of strongly interacting gauge-theory matter (modelling quark-gluon plasma) in a boost-invariant setting using the AdS/CFT correspondence. Using Fefferman-Graham coordinates and with the help of holographic renormalization, we show that perfect fluid hydrodynamics emerges at large times as the uniq...

Steady state entanglement in open and noisy quantum systems at high temperature
We show that quantum mechanical entanglement can prevail even in noisy open quantum systems at high temperature and far from thermodynamical equilibrium, despite the deteriorating effect of decoherence. The system consists of a number N of interacting quantum particles, and it can interact and exchange particles with s...

A Precessing Ring Model for Low-Frequency Quasi-periodic Oscillations
We develop a simple physical model to describe the most common type of low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) seen in a number of accreting black hole systems, as well as the shape of the relativistically broadened iron emission lines that often appear simultaneously in such sources. The model is based on an ...

SuperB: a linear high-luminosity B Factory
This paper is based on the outcome of the activity that has taken place during the recent workshop on "SuperB in Italy" held in Frascati on November 11-12, 2005. The workshop was opened by a theoretical introduction of Marco Ciuchini and was structured in two working groups. One focused on the machine and the other on ...

Bayesian methods of astronomical source extraction
We present two new source extraction methods, based on Bayesian model selection and using the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The first is a source detection filter, able to simultaneously detect point sources and estimate the image background. The second is an advanced photometry technique, which measures the fl...

Symmetric obstruction theories and Hilbert schemes of points on threefolds
We introduce the notion of symmetric obstruction theory and study symmetric obstruction theories which are compatible with C*-actions. We prove that the contribution of an isolated fixed point under a C*-action to equivariant Donaldson-Thomas type invariants is +/- 1. As an application, we compute weighted Euler charac...

Mid-infrared properties of X-ray sources in the Extended Groth Strip
Mid-infrared observations of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are important for understanding of the physical conditions around the central accretion engines. Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observations of a 300 arcmin^2 region in the Extended Groth Strip are used to select a sample of~150 AGN. The Spitzer instruments IRAC a...

Persistence and the Random Bond Ising Model in Two Dimensions
We study the zero-temperature persistence phenomenon in the random bond $\pm J$ Ising model on a square lattice via extensive numerical simulations. We find strong evidence for ` blocking\rq regardless of the amount disorder present in the system. The fraction of spins which {\it never} flips displays interesting non-m...

Detection with RHESSI of high frequency X-ray oscillations in the tail of the 2004 hyperflare from SGR 1806-20
The recent discovery of high frequency oscillations in giant flares from SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14 may be the first direct detection of vibrations in a neutron star crust. If this interpretation is correct it offers a novel means of testing the neutron star equation of state, crustal breaking strain, and magnetic fie...

The first part of this paper discusses general procedures for finding numerical approximations to distinguished Kahler metrics, such as Calabi-Yau metrics, on complex projective manifolds. These procedures are closely related to ideas from Geometric Invariant Theory, and to the asymptotics of high powers of positive li...

Improving the Efficiency of Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Analyzing the Orbits of Extrasolar Planets
Precise radial velocity measurements have led to the discovery of ~170 extrasolar planetary systems. Understanding the uncertainties in the orbital solutions will become increasingly important as the discovery space for extrasolar planets shifts to planets with smaller masses and longer orbital periods. The method of M...

Entropy Estimate For High Dimensional Monotonic Functions
We establish upper and lower bounds for the metric entropy and bracketing entropy of the class of $d$-dimensional bounded monotonic functions under $L^p$ norms. It is interesting to see that both the metric entropy and bracketing entropy have different behaviors for $p<d/(d-1)$ and $p>d/(d-1)$. We apply the new bounds ...

We study the problem of generating connected random graphs with no self-loops or multiple edges and that, in addition, have a given degree sequence. The generation method we focus on is the edge-switching Markov-chain method, whose functioning depends on a parameter w related to the method's core operation of an edge s...
