  • A Markov Model of a Limit Order Book: Thresholds, Recurrence, and Trading Strategies 

    Kelly, Francis Patrick; Yudovina, E
    We analyze a tractable model of a limit order book on short time scales, where the dynamics are driven by stochastic fluctuations between supply and demand. We establish the existence of a limiting distribution for the ...

  • Secular evolution of eccentricity in protoplanetary discs with gap-opening planets 

    Teyssandier, Jean Adrien; Ogilvie, Gordon Ian (Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-06)
    We explore the evolution of the eccentricity of an accretion disc perturbed by an embedded planet whose mass is sufficient to open a large gap in the disc. Various methods for representing the orbit-averaged motion of an ...

  • Quasi-cyclic behaviour in non-linear simulations of the shear dynamo 

    Teed, Robert John; Proctor, Michael Richard (Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-02-17)
    The solar magnetic field displays features on a wide range of length-scales including spatial and temporal coherence on scales considerably larger than the chaotic convection that generates the field. Explaining how the ...

  • 3-manifolds everywhere 

    Calegari, Danny; Wilton, Henry John
    A random group contains many subgroups which are isomorphic to the fundamental group of a compact hyperbolic 3-manifold with totally geodesic boundary. These subgroups can be taken to be quasi-isometrically embedded. This ...

  • Resonances in Coupled-Channel Scattering 

    Wilson, David John
    Excited hadrons are seen as resonances in the scattering of lighter stable hadrons like π, K and η. Many decay into multiple final states necessitating coupled-channel analyses. Recently it has become possible to obtain ...

  • Markov models for ocular fixation locations in the presence and absence of colour 

    Kashlak, Adam; Devane, E; Dietert, H; Jackson, H
    In response to the 2015 Royal Statistical Society's statistical analytics challenge, we propose to model the fixation locations of the human eye when observing a still image by a Markov point process in R$_{2}$. Our approach ...

  • The Galilean superstring 

    Gomis, J; Townsend, Paul Kingsley (SpringerJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017-02-21)
    The action for a Galilean superstring is found from a non-relativistic limit of the closed Green-Schwarz (GS) superstring; it has zero tension and provides an example of a massless super-Galilean system. A Wess-Zumino term ...

  • Five vortex equations 

    Manton, Nicholas Stephen (IOP PublishingJournal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2017-02-24)
    The Taubes equation for Abelian Higgs vortices is generalised to five distinct U(1) vortex equations. These include the Popov and Jackiw–Pi vortex equations, and two further equations. The Baptista metric, a conformal ...

  • The acoustic Green's function for swirling flow in a lined duct 

    Mathews, JR; Peake, Nigel (ElsevierJournal of Sound and Vibration, 2017-05-12)
    This paper considers the acoustic field inside an annular duct carrying mean axial and swirling flow and with either acoustically hard or lined walls. The particular aim is to compute the Green's function, which is required ...

  • Mathematical imaging methods for mitosis analysis in live-cell phase contrast microscopy 

    Grah, Joana Sarah; Harrington, JA; Koh, SB; Pike, JA; Schreiner, A; Burger, M; Schönlieb, Carola-Bibiane; Reichelt, S (ElsevierMethods, 2017-02-15)
    In this paper we propose a workflow to detect and track mitotic cells in time-lapse microscopy image sequences. In order to avoid the requirement for cell lines expressing fluorescent markers and the associated phototoxicity, ...

  • On the equal-mass limit of precessing black-hole binaries 

    Gerosa, D; Sperhake, Ulrich; Vošmera, J (Institute of PhysicsClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2017-03-23)
    We analyze the inspiral dynamics of equal-mass precessing black-hole binaries using multi-timescale techniques. The orbit-averaged post-Newtonian evolutionary equations admit two constants of motion in the equal-mass limit, ...

  • Using inpainting to construct accurate cut-sky CMB estimators 

    Gruetjen, HF; Fergusson, James Robert; Liguori, M; Shellard, Edward Paul (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2017-02-23)
    The direct evaluation of manifestly optimal, cut-sky cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum and bispectrum estimators is numerically very costly, due to the presence of inverse-covariance filtering operations. ...

  • Efficient nonparametric inference for discretely observed compound Poisson processes 

    Coca Cabrero, Alberto
    A compound Poisson process whose parameters are all unknown is observed at finitely many equispaced times. Nonparametric estimators of the jump and Lévy distributions are proposed and functional central limit theorems using ...

  • Coherent structures in interacting vortex rings 

    Deng, J; Xue, J; Mao, X; Caulfield, Colm-cille Patrick (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2017-02-21)
    We investigate experimentally the nonlinear structures that develop from interacting vortex rings induced by a sinusoidally oscillating ellipsoidal disk in fluid at rest. We vary the scaled amplitude or Keulegan-Carpenter ...

  • Dynamical α-cluster model of $^{16}$O 

    Halcrow, CJ; King, C; Manton, Nicholas Stephen (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review C, 2017-03-09)
    We calculate the low-lying spectrum of the $^{16}$O nucleus using an α-cluster model which includes the important tetrahedral and square configurations. Our approach is motivated by the dynamics of α-particle scattering ...

  • Autophoretic flow on a torus 

    Schmieding, LC; Lauga, Eric Jean-Marie; Montenegro-Johnson, TD (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2017-03-02)
    Phoretic swimmers provide new avenues to study nonequilibrium statistical physics and are also hailed as a promising technology for bioengineering at the cellular scale. Exact solutions for the locomotion of such swimmers ...

  • Torsional Alfvén resonances as an efficient damping mechanism for non-radial oscillations in red giant stars 

    Loi, ST; Papaloizou, John Christopher (Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-06-01)
    Stars are self-gravitating fluids in which pressure, buoyancy, rotation and magnetic fields provide the restoring forces for global modes of oscillation. Pressure and buoyancy energetically dominate, while rotation and ...

  • Cohomology of automorphism groups of free groups with twisted coefficients 

    Randal-Williams, Oscar
    We compute the groups H*(Aut(F$_{n}$);M) and H*(Out(F$_{n}$);M) in a stable range, where M is obtained by applying a Schur functor to H$_{Q}$ or H$_{Q}$, respectively the first rational homology and cohomology of F$_{n}$. ...

    O'Hara, C; Ryan, SM; Moir, Graham; Thomas, Christopher Edward (Proceedings of Science, 2016-01-01)
    We present preliminary calculations towards radiative transitions in charmonium using anisotropic $\textit{Nf}$=2+1 dynamical ensembles generated by the Hadron Spectrum Collaboration. With the use of newer technologies we ...

    Tims, D; Cheung, Gavin; O’Hara, C; Moir, Graham; Peardon, M; Ryan, SM; Thomas, Christopher Edward (Proceedings of Science34th annual International Symposium on Lattice Field Theoryhttps://pos.sissa.it/cgi-bin/reader/contribution.cgi?id=256/137, 2017-01-25)
    Spectra of highly excited hidden and open-charm mesons calculated on dynamical lattice QCD ensembles with a pion mass of M$_{π}$ $\sim$ 240 MeV are presented and compared to previous results obtained on a lattice where ...
