The M Dwarf GJ 436 and its Neptune-Mass Planet
We determine stellar parameters for the M dwarf GJ 436 that hosts a Neptune-mass planet. We employ primarily spectral modeling at low and high resolution, examining the agreement between model and observed optical spectra of five comparison stars of type, M0-M3. Modeling high resolution optical spectra suffers from unc...

Equivariant Gluing Constructions of Contact Stationary Legendrian Submanifolds of the (2n+1)-Sphere
A contact stationary Legendrian submanifold of $S^{2n+1}$ is a Legendrian submanifold whose volume is stationary under contact deformations. The simplest contact stationary Legendrian submanifold (actually minimal and Legendrian) is the real, equatorial $n$-sphere $S_0$. This paper develops a method for constructing co...

Measuring coalescing massive binary black holes with gravitational waves: The impact of spin-induced precession
The coalescence of massive black holes generates gravitational waves (GWs) that will be measurable by space-based detectors such as LISA to large redshifts. The spins of a binary's black holes have an important impact on its waveform. Specifically, geodetic and gravitomagnetic effects cause the spins to precess; this p...

Dynamics and Stability of Black Rings
We examine the dynamics of neutral black rings, and identify and analyze a selection of possible instabilities. We find the dominating forces of very thin black rings to be a Newtonian competition between a string-like tension and a centrifugal force. We study in detail the radial balance of forces in black rings, and ...

Dispersion of Mass and the Complexity of Randomized Geometric Algorithms

Motivated by this general question and by volume computation, one of the few instances where randomness provably helps, we analyze a notion of dispersion and connect it to asymptotic convex geometry. We obtain a nearly quadratic lower bound on the complexity of randomized volum...

MDS Ideal Secret Sharing Scheme from AG-codes on Elliptic Curves
For a secret sharing scheme, two parameters $d_{min}$ and $d_{cheat}$ are defined in [12] and [13]. These two parameters measure the error-correcting capability and the secret-recovering capability of the secret sharing scheme against cheaters. Some general properties of the parameters have been studied in [12,[9] and ...

Superbroadcasting and classical information
We address the problem of broadcasting N copies of a generic qubit state to M>N copies by estimating its direction and preparing a suitable output state according to the outcome of the estimate. This semiclassical broadcasting protocol is more restrictive than a general one, since it requires an intermediate step where...

Upper bounds on the low-frequency stochastic gravitational wave background from pulsar timing observations: current limits and future prospects
Using a statistically rigorous analysis method, we place limits on the existence of an isotropic stochastic gravitational wave background using pulsar timing observations. We consider backgrounds whose characteristic strain spectra may be described as a power-law dependence with frequency. Such backgrounds include an a...

Maximum likelihood: extracting unbiased information from complex networks
The choice of free parameters in network models is subjective, since it depends on what topological properties are being monitored. However, we show that the Maximum Likelihood (ML) principle indicates a unique, statistically rigorous parameter choice, associated to a well defined topological feature. We then find that...

Quantum Dot Potentials: Symanzik Scaling, Resurgent Expansions and Quantum Dynamics
This article is concerned with a special class of the ``double-well-like'' potentials that occur naturally in the analysis of finite quantum systems. Special attention is paid, in particular, to the so-called Fokker-Planck potential, which has a particular property: the perturbation series for the ground-state energy v...

The traveling salesman problem: A Linear programming formulation
In this paper, we present a polynomial-sized linear programming formulation of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). The proposed linear program is a network flow-based model. Numerical implementation issues and results are discussed. (The exposition and proofs are much more detailed in an edition which I wrote in coll...

The Zurich Extragalactic Bayesian Redshift Analyzer (ZEBRA) and its first application: COSMOS
We present ZEBRA, the Zurich Extragalactic Bayesian Redshift Analyzer. The current version of ZEBRA combines and extends several of the classical approaches to produce accurate photometric redshifts down to faint magnitudes. In particular, ZEBRA uses the template-fitting approach to produce Maximum Likelihood and Bayes...

The Pierre Auger Observatory in Malargue, Argentina, is designed to study the origin of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays with energies above 10^18 eV. The energy calibration of the detector is based on a system of four air fluorescence detectors. To obtain reliable calorimetric information from the fluorescence stations, t...

On the top eigenvalue of heavy-tailed random matrices
We study the statistics of the largest eigenvalue lambda_max of N x N random matrices with unit variance, but power-law distributed entries, P(M_{ij})~ |M_{ij}|^{-1-mu}. When mu > 4, lambda_max converges to 2 with Tracy-Widom fluctuations of order N^{-2/3}. When mu < 4, lambda_max is of order N^{2/mu-1/2} and is govern...

The goal of this work is to measure the evolution of the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function and of the resulting Stellar Mass Density up to redshift ~4, in order to study the assembly of massive galaxies in the high redshift Universe. We have used the GOODS-MUSIC catalog, containing ~3000 Ks-selected galaxies with multi-wave...

Properly Embedded Least Area Planes in Gromov Hyperbolic 3-Spaces
We show that for any simple closed curve in the sphere at infinity of a Gromov hyperbolic 3-space with cocompact metric, there exist a properly embedded least area plane in the space spanning the given curve. This gives a positive answer to a conjecture of Gabai. Soma has already proven this conjecture earlier. Our tec...

First-principles statistical mechanics study of the stability of a sub-nanometer thin surface oxide in reactive environments: CO oxidation at Pd(100)
We employ a multiscale modeling approach to study the surface structure and composition of a Pd(100) model catalyst in reactive environments. Under gas phase conditions representative of technological CO oxidation (~1 atm, 300-600 K) we find the system on the verge of either stabilizing sub-nanometer thin oxide structu...

Motivated by synchronization problems in noisy environments, we study the Edwards-Wilkinson process on weighted uncorrelated scale-free networks. We consider a specific form of the weights, where the strength (and the associated cost) of a link is proportional to $(k_{i}k_{j})^{\beta}$ with $k_{i}$ and $k_{j}$ being th...
