Gravitational Waves From Inspiralling Compact Binaries : 3PN Polarisations, Angular Momentum Flux And Applications To Astrophysics And Cosmology
(2010-09-03)Binary systems comprising of compact objects like neutron stars (NS) and/or black holes (BH) lose their energy and angular momentum via gravitational waves (GW). Radiation reaction due to the emission of GW results in a ... -
The Green's Function, the Bergman Kernel and Quadrature Domains in Cn
(2018-06-08)In the first part of this thesis, we prove two density theorems for quadrature domains in Cn ,n≥2. It is shown that quadrature domains are dense in the class of all product domains of the form D×Ωwhere D⊂Cn−1 is a smoothly ... -
Grothendieck Inequality
(2016-06-20)Grothendieck published an extraordinary paper entitled ”Resume de la theorie metrique des pro¬duits tensoriels topologiques” in 1953. The main result of this paper is the inequality which is commonly known as Grothendieck ... -
Growth And Characterization Of Technologically Important Nonlinear Optical Crystals: Cesium Lithium Borate And Potassium Di-Deuterium Phosphate
(2008-09-30)Present day advanced technologies heavily rely on one particular class of matter, i.e. the crystals. It is the periodic nature of the atoms and the properties arising due to the periodicity in crystals that is exploited ... -
