The First Survey of X-ray Flares from Gamma Ray Bursts Observed by Swift: Spectral Properties and Energetics
Observations of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) with Swift produced the initially surprising result that many bursts have large X-ray flares superimposed on the underlying afterglow. The flares were sometimes intense, had rapid rise and decay phases, and occurred late relative to the ``prompt'' phase. Some remarkable flares ar...

The two possible values of the chromatic number of a random graph
Given d \in (0,infty) let k_d be the smallest integer k such that d < 2k\log k. We prove that the chromatic number of a random graph G(n,d/n) is either k_d or k_d+1 almost surely.

Classical potential describes martensitic phase transformations between the $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\omega$ titanium phases
A description of the martensitic transformations between the $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\omega$ phases of titanium that includes nucleation and growth requires an accurate classical potential. Optimization of the parameters of a modified embedded atom potential to a database of density-functional calculations yields an acc...

Measurement of the production of charged pions by protons on a tantalum target
A measurement of the double-differential cross-section for the production of charged pions in proton--tantalum collisions emitted at large angles from the incoming beam direction is presented. The data were taken in 2002 with the HARP detector in the T9 beam line of the CERN PS. The pions were produced by proton beams ...

The Search for the Missing Baryons at Low Redshift
At low redshift, only about one-tenth of the known baryons lie in galaxies or the hot gas seen in galaxy clusters and groups. Models posit that these "missing baryons" are in gaseous form in overdense filaments that connect the much denser virialized groups and clusters. About 30% are cool (<1E5 K) and are detected in ...

In this paper, the axion contribution to the electromagnetic wave propagation is studied. First we show how the axion electrodynamics model can be embedded into a premetric formalism of Maxwell electrodynamics. In this formalism, the axion field is not an arbitrary added Chern-Simon term of the Lagrangian, but emerges ...

Bayesian Calibrated Significance Levels Applied to the Spectral Tilt and Hemispherical Asymmetry
Bayesian model selection provides a formal method of determining the level of support for new parameters in a model. However, if there is not a specific enough underlying physical motivation for the new parameters it can be hard to assign them meaningful priors, an essential ingredient of Bayesian model selection. Here...

Transportation-information inequalities for Markov processes
In this paper, one investigates the following type of transportation-information $T_cI$ inequalities: $\alpha(T_c(\nu,\mu))\le I(\nu|\mu)$ for all probability measures $\nu$ on some metric space $(\XX, d)$, where $\mu$ is a given probability measure, $T_c(\nu,\mu)$ is the transportation cost from $\nu$ to $\mu$ with re...

Exotic phase diagram of a cluster charging model of bosons on the kagome lattice
We study a model of hard-core bosons on the kagome lattice with short-range hopping ($t$) and repulsive interactions ($V$). This model directly maps on to an easy-axis $S=1/2$ XXZ model on the kagome lattice and is also related, at large $V/t$, to a quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice. Using quantum Monte Car...

A single-photon transistor using nano-scale surface plasmons
It is well known that light quanta (photons) can interact with each other in nonlinear media, much like massive particles do, but in practice these interactions are usually very weak. Here we describe a novel approach to realize strong nonlinear interactions at the single-photon level. Our method makes use of recently ...

Two Gaps Make a High Temperature Superconductor?
One of the keys to the high-temperature superconductivity puzzle is the identification of the energy scales associated with the emergence of a coherent condensate of superconducting electron pairs. These might provide a measure of the pairing strength and of the coherence of the superfluid, and ultimately reveal the na...

Guaranteed Minimum-Rank Solutions of Linear Matrix Equations via Nuclear Norm Minimization
The affine rank minimization problem consists of finding a matrix of minimum rank that satisfies a given system of linear equality constraints. Such problems have appeared in the literature of a diverse set of fields including system identification and control, Euclidean embedding, and collaborative filtering. Although...

Accelerated Projected Gradient Method for Linear Inverse Problems with Sparsity Constraints
Regularization of ill-posed linear inverse problems via $\ell_1$ penalization has been proposed for cases where the solution is known to be (almost) sparse. One way to obtain the minimizer of such an $\ell_1$ penalized functional is via an iterative soft-thresholding algorithm. We propose an alternative implementation ...

Free energy density for mean field perturbation of states of a one-dimensional spin chain
Motivated by recent developments on large deviations in states of the spin chain, we reconsider the work of Petz, Raggio and Verbeure in 1989 on the variational expression of free energy density in the presence of a mean field type perturbation. We extend their results from the product state case to the Gibbs state cas...

Quantum Belief Propagation
We present an accurate numerical algorithm, called quantum belief propagation (QBP), for simulation of one-dimensional quantum systems at non-zero temperature. The algorithm exploits the fact that quantum effects are short-range in these systems at non-zero temperature, decaying on a length scale inversely proportional...

Higgs Physics as a Window Beyond the MSSM (BMSSM)
We interpret the current experimental limit on the lightest Higgs boson mass to suggest that if nature is supersymmetric, there are additional interactions beyond those of the MSSM coming from new degrees of freedom around the TeV scale. Within an effective field theory analysis, the leading order corrections to the MS...

Self-motile colloidal particles: from directed propulsion to random walk

It is shown that at short times, it has a substantial component of directed motion, with a velocity that depends on the concentration of fuel...

Quadratic optimal functional quantization of stochastic processes and numerical applications
In this paper, we present an overview of the recent developments of functional quantization of stochastic processes, with an emphasis on the quadratic case. Functional quantization is a way to approximate a process, viewed as a Hilbert-valued random variable, using a nearest neighbour projection on a finite codebook. A...

Based on the microlensing variability of the two-image gravitational lens HE1104-1805 observed between 0.4 and 8 microns, we have measured the size and wavelength-dependent structure of the quasar accretion disk. Modeled as a power law in temperature, T proportional to R^-beta, we measure a B-band (0.13 microns in the ...

Cheeger constants of surfaces and isoperimetric inequalities
We show that the Cheeger constant of compact surfaces is bounded by a function of the area. We apply this to isoperimetric profiles of bounded genus non-compact surfaces, to show that if their isoperimetric profile grows faster than $\sqrt t$, then it grows at least as fast as a linear function. This generalizes a resu...
