In this paper, we describe how to use the Maximum Reduced Proper Motion method (Phan-Bao et al. 2003) to detect 57 nearby L and late-M dwarfs (d_phot <= 30 pc): 36 of them are newly discovered. Spectroscopic observations of 43 of the 57…
In this paper we investigate the existence of $L^{2}(\pi)$-spectral gaps for $\pi$-irreducible, positive recurrent Markov chains on general state space. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of…
For closed hyperbolic $3$-manifolds $M$ with volume less than a constant $V$, we prove an inequality regarding the geometric $L^2$-norm and the topological Thurston norm, which is qualitatively sharp and verifies a conjecture of Brock and…
We report the identification of 2MASS J15500845+1455180 as a 0"9 L dwarf visual binary. This source is resolved in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images and in near-infrared imaging with the IRTF SpeX imager/spectrometer. The two…
In the early days of laser spectroscopy Letokhov and Chebotayev proposed a scheme for measuring narrow spectral lines where the resolution is not restricted to Doppler effects because the molecules are entrained in a standing-wave light…
We obtain an essential spectral gap for $n$-dimensional convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds with the dimension $\delta$ of the limit set close to $(n-1)/2$. The size of the gap is expressed using the additive energy of stereographic…
Let $L(s,f)$ be an $L$-function associated to a primitive (holomorphic or Maass) cusp form $f$ on GL(2) over $\mathbb{Q}$. Combining mean-value estimates of Montgomery and Vaughan with a method of Ramachandra, we prove a formula for the…
In this paper, we study spectral gaps of closed hyperbolic surfaces for large genus. We show that for any fixed $k\geq 1$, as the genus goes to infinity, the maximum of $\lambda_k-\lambda_{k-1}$ over any thick part of the moduli space of…
We consider a Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model scenario in which the only light superparticles are a bino-like dark matter candidate and a nearly-degenerate slepton. It is notoriously difficult to probe this scenario at the Large…
We set conservative, robust constraints on the annihilation and decay of dark matter into various Standard Model final states under various assumptions about the distribution of the dark matter in the Milky Way halo. We use the inclusive…
We present a new upper limit of sum m_{\nu} eV < 0.28 (95% CL) on the sum of the neutrino masses assuming a flat LCDM cosmology. This relaxes slightly to sum m_{\nu} < 0.34 and sum m_{\nu} < 0.47 when quasi non-linear scales are removed and…
The goal of this paper is to explain certain experimentally observed properties of the (cuspidal) spectrum and its associated automorphic forms (Maass waveforms) on the congruence subgroup $\Gamma_{0}(9)$. The first property is that the…
Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary $\pp M$ and $L= \DD+Z$ for a $C^1$-vector field $Z$ on $M$. Several equivalent statements, including the gradient and Poincar\'e/log-Sobolev type inequalities of the Neumann semigroup…
We construct maximal $\Lambda(p)$-subsets on a large class of curved manifolds, in an optimal range of Lebesgue exponents $p$. Our arguments combine restriction estimates and decoupling with old and new probabilistic estimates.
We note the possibility to perform a parametrically improved search for gauged baryon ($B$) and baryon minus lepton ($B-L$) Dark Photon Dark Matter (DPDM) using auxiliary channel data from LISA Pathfinder. In particular we use the…
Let $f$ be a $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ holomorphic cusp form or the Eisenstien series $E(z,1/2)$ and $\pi$ be a $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ Hecke-Maass cusp form with its Langlands parameter $\mu$ in generic position i.e. away from Weyl chamber walls and…
To understand the parameter degeneracy of M subdwarf spectra at low resolution, we assemble a large number of spectral features in the wavelength range of 0.6-2.5 {\mu}m with band strength quantified by narrowband indices. Based on the…
We prove upper bounds on the graph diameters of polytopes in two settings. The first is a worst-case bound for polytopes defined by integer constraints in terms of the height of the integers and certain subdeterminants of the constraint…
Observational data on companion statistics around young stellar systems is needed to flesh out the formation pathways for extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs. Aperture masking is a new technique that is able to address an important part of…
Our first result is a noncommutative form of Jessen/Marcinkiewicz/Zygmund theorem for the maximal limit of multiparametric martingales or ergodic means. It implies bilateral almost uniform convergence with initial data in the expected…
