We show that a suitably defined marked correlation function can be used to break degeneracies in halo-occupation distribution modeling. The statistic can be computed on both 3D and 2D data sets, and should be applicable to all upcoming galaxy surveys. A proof of principle, using mock catalogs created from N-body simulations, is given.

Dynamical systems with a coupled cell network structure can display synchronous solutions, spectral degeneracies and anomalous bifurcation behavior. We explain these phenomena here for homogeneous networks, by showing that every homogeneous network dynamical system admits a semigroup of hidden symmetries. The synchronous solutions lie in the symmetry spaces of this semigroup and the spectral de...

It now appears phenomenologically that the third family may be essentially different from the first two. Particularly the high value of the top quark mass suggests a special role. In the standard model all three families are treated similarly [becoming exactly the same at asymptotically high energies] so I need to extend the model to accommodate the goal of a really different third family. In t...

We consider here the NOνA experiment configuration and propose to place a second off-axis detector, with a shorter baseline, such that the type of neutrino mass hierarchy could be determined, by exploiting matter effects, with only the neutrino run. We show that the determination of this parameter is free of degeneracies, provided the ratio L E, where L the baseline and E is the neutrino energy...

We used what we called extended Fan’s sub-equation method and a new compound Riccati equations rational expansion method to construct the exact travelling wave solutions of the Davey-Stewartson DS equations. The basic idea of the proposed extended Fan’s subequation method is to take fulls advantage of the general elliptic equations, involving five parameters, which have many new solutions and w...

We propose a new approach to calculate perturbatively the effects of a particular deformed Heisenberg algebra on energy spectrum. We use this method to calculate the harmonic oscillator spectrum and find that corrections are in agreement with a previous calculation. Then, we apply this approach to obtain the hydrogen atom spectrum and we find that splittings of degenerate energy levels appear. ...

We study the problem of the phonon–induced electron–electron interaction in a solid. Starting with a Hamiltonian that contains an electron–phonon interaction, we perform a similarity renormalization transformation to calculate an effective Hamiltonian. Using this transformation singularities due to degeneracies are avoided explicitely. The effective interactions are calculated to second order i...

Low-energy effective field theories arising from Calabi-Yau string compactifications are generically inconsistent or ill-defined at the classical level because of conifold singularities in the moduli space. It is shown, given a plausible assumption on the degeneracies of black hole states, that for type II theories this inconsistency can be cured by nonperturbative quantum effects: the singular...

The effects of setting all T=0 two body interaction matrix elements equal to a constant (or zero) in shell model calculations (designated as < T = 0 >= 0) are investigated. Despite the apparent severity of such a procedure, one gets fairly reasonable spectra. We find that using < T = 0 >= 0 in single j shell calculations degeneracies appear e.g. the I =

Department of Physics, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Hachioji, Tokyo 192-0397, Japan (Dated: May 3, 2004) Abstract It is shown that eightfold degeneracy in neutrino oscillations is easily seen by plotting constant probabilities in the (sin 2θ13, 1/s 2 23) plane. Using this plot, we discuss how an additional long baseline measurement resolves degeneracies after the JPARC experiment measures the...
