A new approach to simulating collisionless dark matter fluids

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Kaehler | First 5 Authors: Oliver Hahn, Tom Abel, Ralf Kaehler, , | Summary: Recently, we have shown how current cosmological N-body codes already follow the fine grained phase-space information of the dark matter fluid. Using a tetrahedral tesselation of the three-dimensional manifold that describes perfectly cold fluids in six-dimensional phase space, […]

Status Report of the DPHEP Study Group: Towards a Global Effort for Sustainable Data Preservation in High Energy Physics

Kavli Affiliate: Homer Neal | First 5 Authors: Z. Akopov, Silvia Amerio, David Asner, Eduard Avetisyan, Olof Barring | Summary: Data from high-energy physics (HEP) experiments are collected with significant financial and human effort and are mostly unique. An inter-experimental study group on HEP data preservation and long-term analysis was convened as a panel of […]

Technology developments for a scalable heterodyne MMIC array at W-band

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Church | First 5 Authors: Matthew Sieth, Sarah Church, Judy M. Lau, Patricia Voll, Todd Gaier | Summary: We report on the development of W-band (75-110 GHz) heterodyne receiver technology for large-format astronomical arrays. The receiver system is designed to be both mass-producible, so that the designs could be scaled to thousands […]

AVAST Survey 0.4-1.0 μm Spectroscopy of Igneous Asteroids in the Inner and Middle Main Belt

Kavli Affiliate: Geza Gyuk | First 5 Authors: Michael Solontoi, Mark Hammergren, Geza Gyuk, Andrew Puckett, | Summary: We present the spectra of 60 asteroids, including 47 V-types observed during the first phase of the Adler V-Type Asteroid (AVAST) Survey. SDSS photometry was used to select candidate V-type asteroids for follow up by nature of […]

Reduction of thermal fluctuations in a cryogenic laser interferometric gravitational wave detector

Kavli Affiliate: Tomiyoshi Haruyama | First 5 Authors: Takashi Uchiyama, Shinji Miyoki, Souichi Telada, Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Masatake Ohashi | Summary: The thermal fluctuation of mirror surfaces is the fundamental limitation for interferometric gravitational wave (GW) detectors. Here, we experimentally demonstrate for the first time a reduction in a mirror’s thermal fluctuation in a GW detector […]

Suzaku Observations of 4U 1957+11: Potentially the Most Rapidly Spinning Black Hole in (the Halo of) the Galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Norbert Schulz | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Nowak, Joern Wilms, Katja Pottschmidt, Norbert Schulz, Dipankar Maitra | Summary: We present three Suzaku observations of the black hole candidate 4U 1957+11 (V1408 Aql) — a source that exhibits some of the simplest and cleanest examples of soft, disk-dominated spectra. 4U 1957+11 also presents […]

Free subgroups within the images of quantum representations

Kavli Affiliate: Toshitake Kohno | First 5 Authors: Louis Funar, Toshitake Kohno, , , | Summary: We prove that, except for a few explicit roots of unity, the quantum image of any Johnson subgroup of the mapping class group contains an explicit free non-abelian subgroup. | Search Query: ArXiv Query: search_query=au:”Toshitake Kohno”&id_list=&start=0&max_results=3 Read More

On G/N-Hilb of N-Hilb

Kavli Affiliate: Yukari Ito | First 5 Authors: Akira Ishii, Yukari Ito, Álvaro Nolla de Celis, , | Summary: In this paper we consider the iterated G-equivariant Hilbert scheme G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb) and prove that G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb(C^3)) is a crepant resolution of C^3/G isomorphic to the moduli space of theta-stable representations of the McKay quiver for certain stability […]
