Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Frieman | First 5 Authors: Joshua A. Frieman, , , , | Summary: On-going projects to discover Type Ia supernovae at redshifts z = 0.3 – 1, coupled with improved techniques to narrow the dispersion in SN Ia peak magnitudes, have renewed the prospects for determining the cosmic deceleration parameter q_0. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark SubbaRao | First 5 Authors: M. U. SubbaRao, A. J. Connolly, A. S. Szalay, D. C. Koo, | Summary: The determination of the galaxy luminosity function is an active and fundamental field in observational cosmology. In this paper we propose a cost effective way of measuring galaxy luminosity functions at faint magnitudes. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Harvey | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey A. Harvey, , , , | Summary: These notes present a pedagogical introduction to magnetic monopoles and exact electromagnetic duality in supersymmetric gauge theories. They are based on lectures given at the 1995 Trieste Summer School in High Energy Physics and Cosmology and at the 1995 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Zee | First 5 Authors: Anthony Zee, , , , | Summary: We discuss the problem of adding random matrices, which enable us to study Hamiltonians consisting of a deterministic term plus a random term. Using a diagrammatic approach and introducing the concept of “gluon connectedness," we calculate the density of energy […]
