Kavli Affiliate: Yukari Ito | First 5 Authors: Yukari Ito, , , , | Summary: There are many generalizations of the McKay correspondence for higher dimensional Gorenstein quotient singularities and there are some applications to compute the topological invariants today. But some of the invariants are completely different from the classical invariants, in particular for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jonathan L. Rosner | First 5 Authors: Jonathan L. Rosner, , , , | Summary: An elementary description of CP violation for the non-specialist is presented. This article, for publication in {it Macmillan Encylopedia of Physics, Supplement: Elementary Particle Physics}, is being submitted to the Archive for comments by colleagues. | Search Query: […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claude Canizares | First 5 Authors: David Huenemoerder, Claude Canizares, Kevin Tibbetts, , | Summary: We observed AR Lac, an eclipsing RS CVn binary star, with the Chandra High Energy Grating Spectrometer for a total of 100 ks divided into six intervals covering both quadratures and eclipses. We repeated observations at each phase. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | First 5 Authors: Hale Bradt, Alan M. Levine, Francis E. Marshall, Ronald A. Remillard, Donald A. Smith | Summary: The role of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in the study of Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) is reviewed. Through April 2001, the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) and the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil Martinec, Will McElgin, , , | Summary: We consider worldsheet string theory on $Z_N$ orbifolds of $AdS_3$ associated with conical singularities. If the orbifold action includes a similar twist of $S^3$, supersymmetry is preserved, and there is a moduli space of vacua arising from blowup modes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bradford A. Benson | First 5 Authors: Robert A. Benjamin, Bradford A. Benson, Donald P. Cox, , | Summary: Radiative cooling is an important ingredient in hydrodynamical models involving evolution of high temperature plasmas. Unfortunately, calculating an accurate cooling coefficient generally requires the solution of over a hundred differential equations to follow the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Zee | First 5 Authors: Daniel E. Holz, Anthony Zee, , , | Summary: As has been previously proposed, a minimal modification of the standard $SU(3)times SU(2)times U(1)$ theory provides a viable dark matter candidate. Such a particle, a scalar gauge singlet, is naturally self-interacting—making it of particular interest given recent developments […]

Kavli Affiliate: Katrin Heitmann | First 5 Authors: Daniel Cormier, Katrin Heitmann, Anupam Mazumdar, , | Summary: Coupled, multi-field models of inflation can provide several attractive features unavailable in the case of a single inflaton field. These models have a rich dynamical structure resulting from the interaction of the fields and their associated fluctuations. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Gilbert P. Holder, John E. Carlstrom, , , | Summary: We investigate the impact of gas evolution on the expected yields from deep Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect surveys as well as on the expected SZ effect contribution to fine scale anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background. The […]
