Two well-studied white dwarfs with helium-dominated atmospheres (DBs) each possess less hydrogen than carried by a single average-mass comet. Plausibly, the wind rates from these stars are low enough that most accreted hydrogen remains with the star. If so, and presuming their nominal effective temperatures, then these DBs have been minimally impacted by interstellar comets during their 50 Myr cooling age; interstellar iceballs with radii between 10 m and 2 km contain less than 1% of all interstellar oxygen. This analysis suggests that most stars do not produce comets at the rate predicted by optimistic scenarios for the formation of the Oort cloud.

We derive an upper bound for the time needed to implement a generic unitary transformation in a $d$ dimensional quantum system using $d$ control fields. We show that given the ability to control the diagonal elements of the Hamiltonian, which allows for implementing any unitary transformation under the premise of controllability, the time $T$ needed is upper bounded by $Tleq frac{pi d^{2}(d-1)}{2g_{text{min}}}$ where $g_{text{min}}$ is the smallest coupling constant present in the system. We study the tightness of the bound by numerically investigating randomly generated systems, with specific focus on a system consisting of $d$ energy levels that interact in a tight-binding like manner.
In arXiv:1711.10132 a new approximating invariant ${mathsf{TC}}^{mathcal{D}}$ for topological complexity was introduced called $mathcal{D}$-topological complexity. In this paper, we explore more fully the properties of ${mathsf{TC}}^{mathcal{D}}$ and the connections between ${mathsf{TC}}^{mathcal{D}}$ and invariants of Lusternik-Schnirelmann type. We also introduce a new $mathsf{TC}$-type invariant $widetilde{mathsf{TC}}$ that can be used to give an upper bound for $mathsf{TC}$, $$mathsf{TC}(X)le {mathsf{TC}}^{mathcal{D}}(X) + leftlceil frac{2dim X -k}{k+1}rightrceil,$$ where $X$ is a finite dimensional simplicial complex with $k$-connected universal cover $tilde X$. The above inequality is a refinement of an estimate given by Dranishnikov.

Let ${bf P}_k^{(alpha, beta)} (x)$ be an orthonormal Jacobi polynomial of degree $k.$ We will establish the following inequality begin{equation*} max_{x in [delta_{-1},delta_1]}sqrt{(x- delta_{-1})(delta_1-x)} (1-x)^{alpha}(1+x)^{beta} ({bf P}_{k}^{( alpha, beta)} (x))^2 < frac{3 sqrt{5}}{5}, end{equation*} where $delta_{-1}<delta_1$ are appropriate approximations to the extreme zeros of ${bf P}_k^{(alpha, beta)} (x) .$ As a corollary we confirm, even in a stronger form, T. Erd{e}lyi, A.P. Magnus and P. Nevai conjecture [Erd{e}lyi et al., Generalized Jacobi weights, Christoffel functions, and Jacobi polynomials, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 25 (1994), 602-614], by proving that begin{equation*} max_{x in [-1,1]}(1-x)^{alpha+{1/2}}(1+x)^{beta+{1/2}}({bf P}_k^{(alpha, beta)} (x))^2 < 3 alpha^{1/3} (1+ frac{alpha}{k})^{1/6}, end{equation*} in the region $k ge 6, alpha, beta ge frac{1+ sqrt{2}}{4}.$
We report an upper bound to the ionization energy of 85Rb2 of 31348.0(6) cm-1, which also provides a lower bound to the dissociation energy D0 of 85Rb2+ of 6307.5(6) cm-1. These bounds were measured by the onset of autoionization of excited states of 85Rb2 below the 5s+7p atomic limit. We form 85Rb2 molecules via photoassociation of ultracold 85Rb atoms, and subsequently excite the molecules by single-photon ultraviolet transitions to states above the ionization threshold.
Let $D subset mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded, connected domain with smooth boundary and let $-Delta u = mu_1 u$ be the first nontrivial eigenfunction of the Laplace operator with Neumann boundary conditions. We prove $$ |u|_{L^{infty}(D)} leq 60 cdot |u|_ {L^{infty}(partial D)}.$$ This shows that the Hot Spots Conjecture cannot fail by an arbitrary factor. An example of Kleefeld shows that the optimal constant is at least $1 + 10^{-3}$.
