Removable Matter-Power-Spectrum Covariance from Bias Fluctuations
We find a simple, accurate model for the covariance matrix of the real-space
cosmological matter power spectrum on slightly nonlinear scales (k~0.1-0.8
h/Mpc at z=0), where off-diagonal matrix elements become substantial. The model
includes a multiplicative, scale-independent modulation of the power spectrum.
It has only one parameter, the variance (among realizations) of the variance of
the nonlinear density field in cells, with little dependence on the cell size
between 2-8 Mpc/h. Furthermore, we find that this extra covariance can be
modeled out by instead measuring the power spectrum of (delta/sigma_cell), i.e.
the ratio of the overdensity to its dispersion in cells a few Mpc in size.
Dividing delta by sigma_cell essentially removes the non-Gaussian part of the
covariance matrix, nearly diagonalizing it.Comment: Accepted to ApJ. 5 pages, 5 figures; slight clarifications to match

Extended plus closure and colon-capturing
AbstractThree results concerning the colon-capturing property for extended plus closures in excellent mixed characteristic rings are demonstrated. It is shown that the extended plus closure has the colon-capturing property for arbitrary sets of three parameters. It is also seen that establishing the colon-capturing property for the extended plus closure is sufficient to guarantee the existence of balanced big Cohen–Macaulay algebras. Also, for three-dimensional complete domains, the second local cohomology of R+ is annihilated by arbitrarily small powers of every non-unit
Numbers of Generators of Perfect Ideals
This article is concerned with the number of generators of perfect ideals J
in regular local rings (R,m). If J is sufficiently large modulo , a bound
is established depending only on n and the projective dimension of J. More
ambitious conjectures are also introduced with some partial results.Comment: submitted to Journal of Algebr
Are complete intersections complete intersections?
A commutative local ring is generally defined to be a complete intersection
if its completion is isomorphic to the quotient of a regular local ring by an
ideal generated by a regular sequence. It has not previously been determined
whether or not such a ring is necessarily itself the quotient of a regular ring
by an ideal generated by a regular sequence. In this article, it is shown that
if a complete intersection is a one dimensional integral domain, then it is
such a quotient. However, an example is produced of a three dimensional
complete intersection domain which is not a homomorphic image of a regular
local ring, and so the property does not hold in general
Microstrip superconducting quantum interference device amplifiers with submicron Josephson junctions: enhanced gain at gigahertz frequencies
We present measurements of an amplifier based on a dc superconducting quantum
interference device (SQUID) with submicron Al-AlOx-Al Josephson junctions. The
small junction size reduces their self-capacitance and allows for the use of
relatively large resistive shunts while maintaining nonhysteretic operation.
This leads to an enhancement of the SQUID transfer function compared to SQUIDs
with micron-scale junctions. The device layout is modified from that of a
conventional SQUID to allow for coupling signals into the amplifier with a
substantial mutual inductance for a relatively short microstrip coil.
Measurements at 310 mK exhibit gain of 32 dB at 1.55 GHz.Comment: Version with high resolution figures at:

Time-Resolved Studies of a Rolled-Up Semiconductor Microtube Laser
We report on lasing in rolled-up microtube resonators. Time-resolved studies
on these semiconductor lasers containing GaAs quantum wells as optical gain
material reveal particularly fast turn-on-times and short pulse emissions above
the threshold. We observe a strong red-shift of the laser mode during the pulse
emission which is compared to the time evolution of the charge-carrier density
calculated by rate equations
