Bulk black holes radiating in non-Z_2 brane-world spacetimes (2005)
Journal Article
Jennings, D., Vernon, I. R., Davis, A., & van de Bruck, C. (2005). Bulk black holes radiating in non-Z_2 brane-world spacetimes. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2005(04), Article 013. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2005/04/013

In this paper we present a general asymmetric brane model involving arbitrary energy transport to and from an embedded 4-D FRW universe. We derive a locally defined mass function for the 5D spacetime and describe its time evolution on the brane. We t... Read More about Bulk black holes radiating in non-Z_2 brane-world spacetimes.

Bayesian reliability demonstration for failure-free periods (2005)
Journal Article
Coolen, F., Coolen-Schrijner, P., & Rahrouh, R. (2005). Bayesian reliability demonstration for failure-free periods. Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 88(1), 81-91. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ress.2004.07.015

We study sample sizes for testing as required for Bayesian reliability demonstration in terms of failure-free periods after testing, under the assumption that tests lead to zero failures. For the process after testing, we consider both deterministic... Read More about Bayesian reliability demonstration for failure-free periods.

Higher-level Appell functions, modular transformations, and characters (2005)
Journal Article
Semikhatov, A., Taormina, A., & Tipunin, I. (2005). Higher-level Appell functions, modular transformations, and characters. Communications in Mathematical Physics, 255(2), 469-512. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00220-004-1280-7

We study modular transformation properties of a class of indefinite theta series involved in characters of infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras. The level- Appell functions satisfy open quasiperiodicity relations with additive theta-function terms... Read More about Higher-level Appell functions, modular transformations, and characters.

Invariant Bayesian Estimation on Manifolds (2005)
Journal Article
Jermyn, I. (2005). Invariant Bayesian Estimation on Manifolds. Annals of Statistics, 33(2), 583-605. https://doi.org/10.1214/009053604000001273

A frequent and well-founded criticism of the maximum a posteriori (MAP) and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimates of a continuous parameter γ taking values in a differentiable manifold Γ is that they are not invariant to arbitrary “reparameteri...

Finite entropy characterizes topological rigidity on connected groups (2005)
Journal Article
Bhattacharya, S., & Ward, T. (2005). Finite entropy characterizes topological rigidity on connected groups. Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems, 25(2), 365-373. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0143385704000501

Let X, Y be mixing connected algebraic dynamical systems with the Descending Chain Condition. We show that every equivariant continuous map from X to Y is affine (that is, Y is topologically rigid) if and only if the system Y has finite topological e...

Trading volume and contract rollover in futures contracts (2005)
Journal Article
Holmes, P., & Rougier, J. (2005). Trading volume and contract rollover in futures contracts. Journal of Empirical Finance, 12(2), 317-338. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jempfin.2004.01.003

Futures trading volume data display strong quarterly seasonality due to the ‘rolling over’ of positions close to the expiry date of the near contract. This undermines the use of volume as a proxy for information arrival. By making explicit the relati... Read More about Trading volume and contract rollover in futures contracts.

A bound for the number of automorphisms of an arithmetic Riemann surface (2005)
Journal Article
Belolipetsky, M., & Jones, G. (2005). A bound for the number of automorphisms of an arithmetic Riemann surface. Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 138(2), 289-299. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0305004104008035

We show that for every g > 1 there is a compact arithmetic Riemann surface of genus g with at least 4(g-1)automorphisms, and that this lower bound is attained by infinitely many genera, the smallest being 24.
