The REgolith X-Ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) for OSIRIS-REx: Identifying Regional Elemental Enrichment on Asteroids

Kavli Affiliate: Rebecca Masterson | Summary:The OSIRIS-REx Mission was selected under the NASA New Frontiers program and is scheduled for launch in September of 2016 for a rendezvous with, and collection of a sample from the surface of asteroid Bennu in 2019. 101955 Bennu (previously 1999 RQ36) is an Apollo (near-Earth) asteroid originally discovered by […]

2d SCFTs from M2-branes

Kavli Affiliate: Kentaro Hori | Summary:We consider the low-energy limit of the two-dimensional theory on k M2-branes suspended between a straight M5-brane and a curved M5-brane. We argue that it is described by an N=(2,2) supersymmetric gauge theory with no matter fields but with a non-trivial twisted superpotential, and also by an N=(2,2) supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg […]

The distribution of values of short hybrid exponential sums on curves over finite fields

Kavli Affiliate: Kinfai Mak | First 5 Authors: Kit-Ho Mak, Kit-Ho Mak, , , | Summary: Let $p$ be a prime number, $X$ be an absolutely irreducible affine plane curve over $mathbbF_p$, and $g,finmathbbF_p(x,y)$. We study the distribution of the values of the hybrid exponential sums S_n on $ninmathcalI$ for some short interval $mathcalI$. We […]
