(21238) 1995 WV7: A New Basaltic Asteroid Outside the 3:1 Mean Motion Resonance

Kavli Affiliate: Geza Gyuk | First 5 Authors: Mark Hammergren, Geza Gyuk, Andrew Puckett, , | Summary: We report visible to near-infrared spectroscopy and spectrophotometry of asteroid (21238) 1995 WV7 that reveal the presence of deep absorption bands indicating a V taxonomic type with an apparently basaltic surface composition. Since this asteroid is on the […]

The spaces of Laurent polynomials, $mathbb{P}^1$-orbifolds, and integrable hierarchies

Kavli Affiliate: Todor E. Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor E. Milanov, Hsian-Hua Tseng, , , | Summary: Let $M_{k,m}$ be the space of Laurent polynomials in one variable $x^k + t_1 x^{k-1}+… t_{k+m}x^{-m},$ where $k,mgeq 1$ are fixed integers and $t_{k+m}neq 0$. According to B. Dubrovin cite{D}, $M_{k,m}$ can be equipped with a semi-simple […]

Gromov–Witten Theory of CP^1 and Integrable Hierarchies

Kavli Affiliate: Todor E. Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor E. Milanov, , , , | Summary: The ancestor Gromov–Witten invariants of a compact {Kahler} manifold $X$ can be organized in a generating function called the total ancestor potential of $X$. In this paper, we construct Hirota Quadratic Equations (HQE shortly) for the total ancestor […]
