    • K+a Galaxies as the Aftermath of Gas-rich Mergers: Simulating the Evolution of Galaxies as Seen by Spectroscopic Surveys 

      Snyder, Gregory F.; Cox, Thomas J.; Hayward, Christopher C.; Hernquist, Lars; Jonsson, Patrik (American Astronomical Society, 2011)
      Models of poststarburst (or "K+A") galaxies are constructed by combining fully three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy mergers with radiative transfer calculations of dust attenuation. Spectral line catalogs ...

    • Kac’s walk on n-sphere mixes in n log n steps 

      Pillai, Natesh S; Smith, Aaron (2017)
      Determining the mixing time of Kac's random walk on the sphere Sn−1 is a long-standing open problem. We show that the total variation mixing time of Kac's walk on Sn−1 is between 12nlog(n) and 200nlog(n). Our bound is thus ...

      Korsgaard, Christine M. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013)
      Legal systems divide the world into persons and property, treating animals as property. Some animal rights advocates have proposed treating animals as persons. Another option is to introduce a third normative category. ...
