相关论文: The CV period gap: still there

I outline the evidence pertinent to the connection between the nova explosion and mass transfer rates in CVs. I conclude that there is still insufficient evidence to decide whether or not such a connection exists.

With the growing number of detections of binary black hole mergers, we are beginning to probe structure in the distribution of masses. A recent study by Schneider et al. proposes that isolated binary evolution of stripped stars naturally…

Time series analysis is fundamental to characterizing the variability inherent in multi-wavelength emissions from blazars. However, a major observational challenge lies in the need for well-sampled, temporally uniform data, which is often…

The behavioral description of the sensorimotor synchronization phenomenon in humans is exhaustive, mostly by using variations of the traditional paced finger-tapping task. This task helps unveil the inner workings of the error-correction…

One of the most intriguing aspects of cuprates is a large pseudogap coexisting with a high superconducting transition temperature. Here, we study pairing in the cuprates from electron-electron interactions by constructing the pair vertex…

Given that mergers are often invoked to explain many exotic phenomena in massive star evolution, understanding the evolutionary phase directly preceding a merger, the overcontact phase, is of crucial importance. Despite its importance,…

Discovering a correlation from one variable to another variable is of fundamental scientific and practical interest. While existing correlation measures are suitable for discovering average correlation, they fail to discover hidden or…

Superradiance and subradiance are collective effects that emerge from coherent interactions between quantum emitters. Due to their many-body nature, theoretical studies of extended samples with length larger than the atomic transition…

The cutoff phenomenon describes the case when an abrupt transition occurs in the convergence of a Markov chain to its equilibrium measure. There are various metrics which can be used to measure the distance to equilibrium, each of which…

The observed deficit and excess of adjacent planet pairs with period ratios narrow and wide of 3:2 and 2:1, the nominal values for the corresponding mean motion resonances (MMRs), have intrigued many. Previously, using a suite of…

The statistics of gap ratios between consecutive energy levels is a widely used tool, in particular in the context of many-body physics, to distinguish between chaotic and integrable systems, described respectively by Gaussian ensembles of…

We investigate pseudo-gap phenomena realized in the BCS pairing model with a long but finite interaction range. We calculate the single-particle self-energy in all order exactly in the temperature range where the superconducting fluctuation…

It is broadly accepted that there is a "gender gap" in face recognition accuracy, with females having higher false match and false non-match rates. However, relatively little is known about the cause(s) of this gender gap. Even the recent…

AD Men was classified as a probable long-period dwarf nova based on its long-term variability. Recent spectroscopic data instead suggested a short-period system. With the here presented observations we aim at clarifying its nature.…

We give a review of modern theoretical understanding of the problem of thermal phase transition in $QCD$. The existence or non-existence of such transition depends on the nature of the gauge group, the number of light quark flavors , and on…

Recent methods have been developed to map single-cell lineage statistics to population growth. Because population growth selects for exponentially rare phenotypes, these methods inherently depend on sampling large deviations from finite…

Research into time series classification has tended to focus on the case of series of uniform length. However, it is common for real-world time series data to have unequal lengths. Differing time series lengths may arise from a number of…

Based on the results people have obtained, we try to prove the Jacobian conjecture, but there is a gap in the proof.

Recently, several groups have resolved a gap that bifurcates planets between the size of Earth and Neptune into two populations. The location and depth of this feature is an important signature of the physical processes that form and sculpt…

I present a new form of spontaneous CP violation in which, in analogy with the left-right-symmetric model, CP breaking results from the inequality of two real vacuum expectation values. In my model there is no scalar-pseudoscalar mixing,…
