Analysis of cosmic string breaking with formation of black holes attached to the ends reveals a remarkable feature: the black holes can be correlated or uncorrelated. We find that, as a consequence, the number-of-states enhancement factor in the action governing formation of uncorrelated black holes is twice the one for a correlated pair. We argue that when an uncorrelated pair forms at the end...

Primordial black holes may form in the early Universe, for example from the collapse of large amplitude density perturbations predicted in some inflationary models. Light black holes undergo Hawking evaporation, the energy injection from which is constrained both at the epoch of nucleosynthesis and at the present. The failure as yet to unambiguously detect primordial black holes places importan...

We present explicit wavefunctions for quasi-hole excitations over a variety of nonabelian quantum Hall states: the Read-Rezayi states with k ≥ 3 clustering properties and a paired spin-singlet quantum Hall state. Quasi-holes over these states constitute a topological quantum register, which can be addressed by braiding quasi-holes. We obtain the braid properties by direct inspection of the quas...

in order to evaluate the efficiency of biocontrol agents of corn stem borer ,ostrinia nubilalis, experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block by five treatments and four replication, including, indoxacarb (avant)®, trichogrammawasps, bacillus thuringiensis var: kurstaki, integration of trichogramma sp. and bt., and control as treatments number 1 to 5. in treatments with parasitoid re...

We review the likely population, observational properties, and broad implications of stellar-mass black holes and ultraluminous x-ray sources. We focus on the clear empirical rules connecting accretion and outflow that have been established for stellar-mass black holes in binary systems in the past decade and a half. These patterns of behavior are probably the keys that will allow us to underst...
