Representations of integers by certain positive definite binary quadratic forms
We prove part of a conjecture of Borwein and Choi concerning an estimate on
the square of the number of solutions to n=x^2+Ny^2 for a squarefree integer N.Comment: 8 pages, submitte
The interaction of a gap with a free boundary in a two dimensional dimer system
Let be a fixed vertical lattice line of the unit triangular lattice in
the plane, and let \Cal H be the half plane to the left of . We
consider lozenge tilings of \Cal H that have a triangular gap of side-length
two and in which is a free boundary - i.e., tiles are allowed to
protrude out half-way across . We prove that the correlation function of
this gap near the free boundary has asymptotics ,
, where is the distance from the gap to the free boundary. This
parallels the electrostatic phenomenon by which the field of an electric charge
near a conductor can be obtained by the method of images.Comment: 34 pages, AmS-Te

N-body simulations of gravitational dynamics
We describe the astrophysical and numerical basis of N-body simulations, both
of collisional stellar systems (dense star clusters and galactic centres) and
collisionless stellar dynamics (galaxies and large-scale structure). We explain
and discuss the state-of-the-art algorithms used for these quite different
regimes, attempt to give a fair critique, and point out possible directions of
future improvement and development. We briefly touch upon the history of N-body
simulations and their most important results.Comment: invited review (28 pages), to appear in European Physics Journal Plu
Measurement of the Charged Multiplicities in b, c and Light Quark Events from Z0 Decays
Average charged multiplicities have been measured separately in , and
light quark () events from decays measured in the SLD experiment.
Impact parameters of charged tracks were used to select enriched samples of
and light quark events, and reconstructed charmed mesons were used to select
quark events. We measured the charged multiplicities:
,
, from
which we derived the differences between the total average charged
multiplicities of or quark events and light quark events: and . We compared
these measurements with those at lower center-of-mass energies and with
perturbative QCD predictions. These combined results are in agreement with the
QCD expectations and disfavor the hypothesis of flavor-independent
fragmentation.Comment: 19 pages LaTex, 4 EPS figures, to appear in Physics Letters
