The Milky Way Galaxy is literally teeming with exoplanets; thousands of planets have been discovered, with thousands more planet candidates identified. Terrestrial-like planets are quite common around other stars, and are expected to be…
The reachable set for a finite dimensional quantum system is shown to be the orbit of the group corresponding to the internal and control Hamiltonians, even if this group is not compact.
We present an analytical calculation of periodic orbits in the homogeneous quartic oscillator potential. Exploiting the properties of the periodic Lam{\'e} functions that describe the orbits bifurcated from the fundamental linear orbit in…
An exactly solvable model of a quantum spin interacting with a spin environment is considered. The interaction is chosen to be such that the state of the environment is conserved. The reduced density matrix of the spin is calculated for…
The dynamics contained in magnetized layers of exoplanet atmospheres are important to understand in order to characterize what observational signatures they may provide for future observations. It is important to develop a framework to…
An almost-toric hypersurface is parameterized by monomials multiplied by polynomials in one extra variable. We determine the Newton polytope of such a hypersurface, and apply this to give an algorithm for computing the implicit equation.
Let $\phi$ be an $L^2$-normalized spherical vector in an everywhere unramified cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{PGL}_n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ with Laplace eigenvalue $\lambda_{\phi}$. We establish explicit estimates for various…
Properties of inertial modes of Jupiter are investigated for an n=1 polytropic description of the planet interior. We use the anelastic approximation to overcome the usual handicap of a severe spherical harmonics truncation. A powerful…
A new model of charged compact star is reported by solving the Einstein-Maxwell field equations by choosing a suitable form of radial pressure. The model parameters $\rho$, $p_r$, $p_{\perp}$ and $E^{2}$ are in closed form and all are well…
