Cosmological baryonic and matter densities from 600,000 SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies with photometric redshifts
We analyze MegaZ-LRG, a photometric-redshift catalogue of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) based on the imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) 4th Data Release. MegaZ-LRG, presented in a companion paper, contains 10^6 photometric redshifts derived with ANNz, an Artificial Neural Network method, constrained by ...

A Monadic, Functional Implementation of Real Numbers
Large scale real number computation is an essential ingredient in several modern mathematical proofs. Because such lengthy computations cannot be verified by hand, some mathematicians want to use software proof assistants to verify the correctness of these proofs. This paper develops a new implementation of the constru...

Weak approximation of stochastic differential equations and application to derivative pricing

They apply it to the problem of pricing Asian options under the Heston stochastic volatility model, and compare it with other known methods. It is shown that the combination of the suggested ...

Resolution of the Wavefront Set using Continuous Shearlets
It is known that the continuous wavelet transform of a function $f$ decays very rapidly near the points where $f$ is smooth, while it decays slowly near the irregular points. This property allows one to precisely identify the singular support of $f$. However, the continuous wavelet transform is unable to provide additi...

We present results of a measurement of the shape of the density profile of galaxy groups and clusters traced by 43 335 Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) with spectroscopic redshifts from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The galaxies are selected such that they are the brightest within a cylindrical aperture, split into ...

Tropical polytopes and cellular resolutions
Tropical polytopes are images of polytopes in an affine space over the Puiseux series field under the degree map. This viewpoint gives rise to a family of cellular resolutions of monomial ideals which generalize the hull complex of Bayer and Sturmfels, instances of which improve upon the hull resolution in the sense of...

Rates and properties of type Ia supernovae as a function of mass and star-formation in their host galaxies
(ABRIDGED) We show that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are formed within both very young and old stellar populations, with observed rates that depend on the stellar mass and mean star-formation rates (SFRs) of their host galaxies. Models where the SN Ia rate depends solely on host galaxy stellar mass are ruled out with 99...

Topology of random clique complexes
In a seminal paper, Erdos and Renyi identified the threshold for connectivity of the random graph G(n,p). In particular, they showed that if p >> log(n)/n then G(n,p) is almost always connected, and if p << log(n)/n then G(n,p) is almost always disconnected, as n goes to infinity. The clique complex X(H) of a graph H i...

Regulators on additive higher Chow groups
As an attempt to understand motives over $k[x]/(x^m)$, we define the cubical additive higher Chow groups with modulus for all dimensions extending the works of S. Bloch, H. Esnault and K. R\"ulling on 0-dimensional cycles. We give an explicit construction of regulator maps on the groups of 1-cycles with an aid of the r...

A single cold atom as efficient stationary source of EPR-entangled light
The Stokes and anti-Stokes components of the spectrum of resonance fluorescence of a single trapped atom, which originate from the mechanical coupling between the scattered photons and the quantized motion of the atomic center of mass, exhibit quantum correlations which are of two-mode-squeezing type. We study and demo...

An Outer Bound for the Multi-Terminal Rate-Distortion Region
The multi-terminal rate-distortion problem has been studied extensively. Notably, among these, Tung and Housewright have provided the best known inner and outer bounds for the rate region under certain distortion constraints. In this paper, we first propose an outer bound for the rate region, and show that it is tighte...

The Host Galaxies and Classification of Active Galactic Nuclei
We present an analysis of the host properties of 85224 emission-line galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We show that Seyferts and LINERs form clearly separated branches on the standard optical diagnostic diagrams. We derive a new empirical classification scheme which cleanly separates star-forming galaxies, co...

Capacity Results for Block-Stationary Gaussian Fading Channels with a Peak Power Constraint
We consider a peak-power-limited single-antenna block-stationary Gaussian fading channel where neither the transmitter nor the receiver knows the channel state information, but both know the channel statistics. This model subsumes most previously studied Gaussian fading models. We first compute the asymptotic channel c...

From the analysis of the path of the stream and the colors and magnitudes of its stars, the stream is about 20 kpc away at its nearest detection (the celestial equat...

Forming a constant density medium close to long gamma-ray bursts
The progenitor stars of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are thought to be Wolf-Rayet stars, which generate a massive and energetic wind. Nevertheless, about 25 percent of all GRB afterglows light curves indicate a constant density medium close to the exploding star. We explore various ways to produce this, by creating sit...

Sharp thresholds for high-dimensional and noisy recovery of sparsity
The problem of consistently estimating the sparsity pattern of a vector $\betastar \in \real^\mdim$ based on observations contaminated by noise arises in various contexts, including subset selection in regression, structure estimation in graphical models, sparse approximation, and signal denoising. We analyze the behav...

We propose a notion of a stable partition in a coalitional game that is parametrized by the concept of a defection function. This function assigns to each partition of the grand coalition a set of different coalition arrangements for a group of defecting players. The alternatives are compared using their social welfare...

Internal Energy of the Potts model on the Triangular Lattice with Two- and Three-body Interactions
We calculate the internal energy of the Potts model on the triangular lattice with two- and three-body interactions at the transition point satisfying certain conditions for coupling constants. The method is a duality transformation. Therefore we have to make assumptions on uniqueness of the transition point and that t...

The Tutte polynomial of a graph G is a two-variable polynomial T(G;x,y) that encodes many interesting properties of the graph.

A custodial symmetry for Zbb
We show that a subgroup of the custodial symmetry O(3) that protects delta rho from radiative corrections can also protect the Zbb coupling. This allows one to build models of electroweak symmetry breaking, such as Higgsless, Little Higgs or 5D composite Higgs models, that are safe from corrections to Z-> bb. We show t...

A 1D random potential is created via laser speckle patterns. It is carefully calibrated and the self-averaging properties of our experimental system are discussed. We observe...

We present a density-functional theory study addressing the on-surface adsorption of oxygen at the Pd(11N) (N =3,5,7) vicinal surfaces, which exhibit (111) steps and (100) terraces of increasing width. We find the binding to be predominantly governed by the local coordination at the adsorption site. This leads to very ...

We combine this with extinction estimates from X-ray spectroscopy to infer distances and find that the locatio...
