S=1/2 Kagome antiferromagnets CsCu_{12}$ with M=Zr and Hf
Magnetization and specific heat measurements have been carried out on
CsCuZrF and CsCuHfF single crystals, in which
Cu ions with spin-1/2 form a regular Kagom\'{e} lattice. The
antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between neighboring Cu spins is
K and 540 K for CsCuZrF and
CsCuHfF, respectively. Structural phase transitions were
observed at K and 175 K for CsCuZrF and
CsCuHfF, respectively. The specific heat shows a small bend
anomaly indicative of magnetic ordering at K and 24.5 K in
CsCuZrF and CsCuHfF, respectively. Weak
ferromagnetic behavior was observed below . This weak
ferromagnetism should be ascribed to the antisymmetric interaction of the
Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya type that are generally allowed in the Kagom\'{e} lattice.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure. Conference proceeding of Highly Frustrated

Redshift-space Distortions of the Power Spectrum of Cosmological Objects on a Light Cone : Explicit Formulations and Theoretical Implications
We examine the effects of the linear and the cosmological redshift-space
distortions on the power spectrum of cosmological objects on a light cone. We
develop theoretical formulae for the power spectrum in linear theory of density
perturbations in a rigorous manner starting from first principle corresponding
to Fourier analysis. Approximate formulae, which are useful properly to
incorporate the redshift-space distortion effects into the power spectrum are
derived, and the validity is examined. Applying our formulae to galaxy and
quasar samples which roughly match the SDSS survey, we will show how the
redshift-space distortions distort the power spectrum on the light cone
quantitatively.Comment: 30 pages, Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal

Vlasov versus N-body: the H\'enon sphere
We perform a detailed comparison of the phase-space density traced by the
particle distribution in Gadget simulations to the result obtained with a
spherical Vlasov solver using the splitting algorithm. The systems considered
are apodized H\'enon spheres with two values of the virial ratio, R ~ 0.1 and
0.5. After checking that spherical symmetry is well preserved by the N-body
simulations, visual and quantitative comparisons are performed. In particular
we introduce new statistics, correlators and entropic estimators, based on the
likelihood of whether N-body simulations actually trace randomly the Vlasov
phase-space density. When taking into account the limits of both the N-body and
the Vlasov codes, namely collective effects due to the particle shot noise in
the first case and diffusion and possible nonlinear instabilities due to finite
resolution of the phase-space grid in the second case, we find a spectacular
agreement between both methods, even in regions of phase-space where nontrivial
physical instabilities develop. However, in the colder case, R=0.1, it was not
possible to prove actual numerical convergence of the N-body results after a
number of dynamical times, even with N=10 particles.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figures, MNRAS, in pres
