Probing the Neutron Star Interior with Glitches

With the aim of constraining the structural properties of neutron stars and the equation of state of dense matter, we study sudden spin-ups, glitches, occurring in the Vela pulsar and in six other pulsars. We present evidence that glitches represent a self-regulating instability for which the star prepares over a waiting time. The angular momentum requirements of glitches in Vela indicate that at least 1.4% of the star's moment of inertia drives these events. If glitches originate in the liquid of the inner crust, Vela's `radiation radius' $R_\infty$ must exceed ~12 km for a mass of 1.4 solar masses. The isolated neutron star RX J18563-3754 is a promising candidate for a definitive radius measurement, and offers to further our understanding of dense matter and the origin of glitches.Comment: Invited talk at the Pacific Rim Conference on Stellar Astrophysics, Hong Kong, Aug. 1999. 9 pages, 5 figure

Characterization of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras by the dimension of their Schur multipliers, s(L)=5s(L)=5

It is known that the dimension of the Schur multiplier of a non-abelian nilpotent Lie algebra $L$ of dimension $n$ is equal to $\frac{1}{2}(n-1)(n-2)+1-s(L)$ for some $s(L)\geq0$. The structure of all nilpotent Lie algebras has been given for $s(L) \leq 4$ in several papers. Here, we are going to give the structure of all non-abelian nilpotent Lie algebras for $s(L)=5$

If one takes due regard for the condition under which my collision model is valid, explicitly stated by Eq. (15), Ref. 1, the difficulties experienced by Soo(2) will not arise

A characterization of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie superalgebras

Let $L$ be a nilpotent Lie superalgebras of dimension $(m\mid n)$ for some non-negative integers $m$ and $n$ and put $s(L) = \frac{1}{2}[(m + n - 1)(m + n -2)]+ n+ 1 - \dim \mathcal{M}(L)$, where $\mathcal{M}(L)$ denotes the Schur multiplier of $L$. Recently, the author has shown that $s(L) \geq 0$ and the structure of all nilpotent Lie superalgebras has been determined when $s(L) = 0$ \cite{Nayak2018}. The aim of this paper is to classify all nilpotent Lie superalgebras $L$ for which $s(L) = 1$ and $2$.Comment: 19 page

Service-Learning Times : semester 2, 2018/19

To foster multi-disciplinary learning experience, the three faculties, the Science Unit and Office of Service-Learning offer you plenty of choices and flexibility in S-L projects. Moreover, we also provide trans-border S-L and research opportunities, enabling you to examine challenging issues at both the local and international levels. A number of S-L projects are also available in cluster courses, free elective courses, and major courses. In short, you have a wealth of opportunities to apply your course knowledge while contributing to the local and the international communities. This booklet highlights the courses with S-L elements in this semester. If you want to choose what kind of S-L adventure you want to go on, you should plan and act quickly while places are available.https://commons.ln.edu.hk/sl_times/1003/thumbnail.jp

Service-Learning Times : semester 2 & summer term, 2017/18

Service-Learning (S-L) is an experiential learning approach that empowers students to apply academic knowledge in meaningful community service with reflection. In particular, the Service-Learning and Research Scheme (SLRS) seeks to build research elements into the S-L opportunities, which provide students with diverse and insightful service experiences to enhance their personal growth, intellectual advancement and career readiness while bringing substantial benefits to the collaborating partners. This booklet highlights popular S-L courses. Students wishing to experience the best of S-L should plan ahead and act quickly while places are available.https://commons.ln.edu.hk/sl_times/1001/thumbnail.jp
