Multiquark systems such as tetraquarks, pentaquarks and hexaquarks states are studied as di-hadronic molecules in a nonrelativistic model. The masses of several di-hadronic states using a molecular interaction provided by asymptotic expression of the confined gluon exchange potential are computed. The exotic states such as f$_0$ (0.982), f$_2$ (1.565), f$_2$

The best method of measuring CP violating effect in neutrino oscillation experiments is to construct and use a neutrino beam made of an ideal mixture of $\barν_e$ and $ν_e$ of monochromatic lines. The conceptual design of such a beam is described, together with how to measure the CP-odd quantity. We propose to exploit an accelerated unstable hydrogen-like he

We propose a quantum memory for light that is analogous to the NMR gradient echo. Our proposal is ideally perfectly efficient and provides simplifications to current 3-level quantum memory schemes based on controlled inhomogeneous broadening. Our scheme does not require auxiliary light fields. Instead the input optical pulse interacts only with two-level ato

The optical properties of a concentric nanometer-sized spherical shell comprised of an (active) 3-level gain medium core and a surrounding plasmonic metal shell are investigated. Current research in optical metamaterials has demonstrated that including lossless plasmonic materials to achieve a negative permittivity in a nano-sized coated spherical particle c

Variable-length block-coding schemes are investigated for discrete memoryless channels with ideal feedback under cost constraints. Upper and lower bounds are found for the minimum achievable probability of decoding error $P_{e,\min}$ as a function of constraints $R, \AV$, and $\bar \tau$ on the transmission rate, average cost, and average block length respec

In this paper it is shown, that B-splines are scaling functions for any natural N. For any natural N construction of Haar wavelets, Kotelnikov-Shannon wavelets, nonorthogonal wavelets based on B-splines is given. Examples of construction of filters of N-channel decomposition of signal and filters of reconstruction based on B-splines are given

Motivated by representation theory we exhibit an interior structure to Catalan sequences and many generalisations thereof. Certain of these coincide with well known (but heretofore isolated) structures. The remainder are new.

The unexplained sunward acceleration $a_\mathrm{P}$ of the Pioneer 10 (P10) and the Pioneer 11 (P11) spacecraft remains a mystery. A scalar potential model (SPM) that derived from considerations of galaxy clusters, of redshift, and of H{\scriptsize{I}} rotation curves of spiral galaxies is applied to the Pioneer Anomaly. Matter is posited to warp the scalar

Nonlinear inequalities based on the quadratic Renyi entropy for mixed two-qubit states are characterized on the Entropy-Concurrence plane. This class of inequalities is stronger than Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequalities and, in particular, are violated "in toto" by the set of Type I Maximally-Entangled-Mixture States (MEMS I).

We model an optical implementation of a CSIGN gate that makes use of the Quantum Zeno effect [1,2] in the presence of photon loss. The raw operation of the gate is severely affected by this type of loss. However, we show that by using the same photon loss codes that have been proposed for linear optical quantum computation (LOQC), the performance is greatly

Quantum-mechanical calculations of muon transfer between muonic hydrogen and an oxygen nuclei for $s$ waves and collision energies in the range $10^{-3} - 10^3$ eV, are presented. Close-coupling time-independent Schrödinger equations, written in terms of hyperspherical elliptic coordinates were integrated along the hyper-radius to obtain the partial and tota

The aim of Part II of this paper is to try to describe wave functions on q-deformed versions of position and momentum space. This task is done within the framework developed in Part I of the paper. In order to make Part II self-contained the most important results of Part I are reviewed. Then it is shown that q-deformed exponentials and q-deformed delta func

The aim of these two papers (I and II) is to try to give fundamental concepts of quantum kinematics to q-deformed quantum spaces. Paper I introduces the relevant mathematical concepts. A short review of the basic ideas of q-deformed analysis is given. These considerations are continued by introducing q-deformed analogs of Fourier transformations and delta fu

We show that ballistic transport of optically excited atoms in an atomic vapor provides a nonlocal nonlinearity which stabilizes the propagation of vortex beams and higher order modes in the presence of a self-focusing nonlinearity. Numerical experiments demonstrate stable propagation of lowest and higher order vortices over a hundred diffraction lengths, be

The oscillation periods bounded by a simple pendulum and an oscillating rigid rod are illustrated using a multiple pendulum. Oscillation periods between these two limits are obtained. A theoretical approach using the Lagrangian formalism and the set up of three simple experiments are presented in order to probe our approach.

Several gage-equivalent forms (including some novel ones) of the Schroedinger equation for a hydrogenlike atom in a time-dependent electric field of a laser pulse are presented. These forms allow to develop a perturbation theory for both small and rather large intensities of the electromagnetic field.

In this contribution we present calculations performed for interacting electron systems within a non-perturbative formulation of the cluster theory. Extrapolation of the model to describe the time dependence of the interacting systems is feasible and planed. The theory is based on the unitary operator $e^{iS}$ ({\it S} is the correlation operator) formalism

Here, and in a sequel, we invoke the invariant spin field to provide an in--depth study of spin motion at and near low order orbital resonances in a simple model for the effects of vertical betatron motion in a storage ring with Siberian Snakes. This leads to a clear understanding, within the model, of the behaviour of the beam polarisation at and near so--c

Mermin [Am. J. Phys. {\bf 51}, 1130--1131 (1983)] derived the relativistic addition of the parallel components of velocity using the constancy of the speed of light. In this note, the derivation is extended to the perpendicular components of velocity.

The influence of the central depression in the density distribution of spherical superheavy nuclei on the shell structure is studied within the relativistic mean field theory. Large depression leads to the shell gaps at the proton Z=120 and neutron N=172 numbers, while flatter density distribution favors N=184 for neutrons and leads to the appearance of a Z=

Rotating $N=Z$ nuclei in the mass $A=58-80$ region have been studied within the framework of isovector mean field theory. Available data is well and systematically described in the calculations. The present study supports the presence of strong isovector $np$ pair field at low spin, which is, however, destroyed at high spin. No clear evidence for the existen

The analysis of quasiparticle spectra in heaviest $A\sim 250$ nuclei with spectroscopic data provides an additional constraint for the choice of effective interaction for the description of superheavy nuclei.

Recent progress towards an understanding of the piNN system within chiral perturbation theory is reported. The focus lies on an effective field theory calculation and its comparison to phenomenological calculations for the reaction NN->d pi. In addition, the resulting absorptive and dispersive corrections to the pi-d scattering length are discussed briefly.

In this thesis, I study the phase diagram of dense, locally neutral three-flavor quark matter as a function of the strange quark mass, the quark chemical potential, and the temperature, employing a general nine-parameter ansatz for the gap matrix.

We investigate numerically the statistical properties of the large scale flow in Rayleigh--Bénard convection. By using an external random perturbation on the temperature field, we were able to decrease the effective Prandtl number of the flow while keeping the Rayleigh number relatively small; this increases the Reynolds number thus making possible the numer

The calculus of variations for lagrangians which are not functions on the tangent bundle, but sections certain affine bundles is developed. We follow a general approach to variational principles which admits boundary terms of variations.

Wlodzimierz Tulczyjew

Jets of mappings introduced by Ehresmann are still the most useful objects for formulating geometric frameworks of physical theories. We are proposing modifications designed to make jet theory less dependent on local coordinates. Extensions of the theory with applications to the calculus of variations and mechanics are also proposed.

This paper is devoted to the simulation of the flow around and inside a rigid axisymmetric net. We describe first how experimental data have been obtained. We show in detail the modelization. The model is based on a Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes turbulence model penalized by a term based on the Brinkman law. At the out-boundary of the computational box, we

Questions on random matrices and on non-intersecting Brownian motions have led to the study of moment matrices with regard to several weights. The purpose of this paper is to show that the determinants of such moment matrices satisfy, upon adding one set of time deformations for each weight, the multi-component KP-hierarchy: these determinants are thus "

The minimum entropy production principle provides an approximative variational characterization of close-to-equilibrium stationary states, both for macroscopic systems and for stochastic models. Analyzing the fluctuations of the empirical distribution of occupation times for a class of Markov processes, we identify the entropy production as the large deviati

In this paper, we study rotation numbers of random dynamical systems on the circle. We prove the existence of rotation numbers and the continuous dependence of rotation numbers on the systems. As an application, we prove a theorem on analytic conjugacy to a circle rotation.

Mélisande Fortin Boisvert

We prove a modified version of Turbiner's conjecture in three dimensions and we give a counter-example to the original conjecture. The Lie algebraic Schrödinger operators corresponding to flat metrics of a certain restricted type are shown to separate partially in either Cartesian, cylindrical or spherical coordinates.

J. M. Garcia-Calcines, P. R. Garcia-Diaz

We introduce the notion of inductive category in a model category and prove that it agrees with the Ganea approach given by Doeraene. This notion also coincides with the topological one when we consider the category of (well-) pointed topological spaces.

Fusun Akman

We introduce a new graph invariant of finite groups that provides a complete characterization of the splitting types of unramified prime ideals in normal number field extensions entirely in terms of the Galois group. In particular, each connected component corresponds to a division (Abteilung) of the group. We compute the divisions of the alternating group,

Peter N. Malkin

We present a new algorithm for computing a truncated Markov basis of a lattice. In general, this new algorithm is faster than existing methods. We then extend this new algorithm so that it solves the linear integer feasibility problem with promising results for equality knapsack problems. We also present a novel Groebner basis approach to solve a particular

Annette Huber, Guido Kings

In this paper we define a $p$-adic analogue of the Borel regulator for the $K$-theory of $p$-adic fields. The van Est isomorphism in the construction of the classical Borel regulator is replaced by the Lazard isomorphism. The main result relates this $p$-adic regulator to the Bloch-Kato exponential and the Soulé regulator. On the way we give a new descriptio

This paper is devoted to a study of the unique continuation property for stochastic parabolic equations. Due to the adapted nature of solutions in the stochastic situation, classical approaches to treat the the unique continuation problem for deterministic equations do not work. Our method is based on a suitable partial Holmgren coordinate transform and a st

Jim Agler revolutionized the area of Pick interpolation with his realization theorem for what is now called the Agler-Schur class for the unit ball in $\mathbb C^d$. We discuss an extension of these results to algebras of functions arising from test functions and the dual notion of a family of reproducing kernels, as well as the related interpolation theorem

Bumsig Kim, Yongnam Lee, Kyungho Oh

We prove the irredcibility (and the rational connectedness) of the moduli spaces of (free) morphisms from a projective line to a successive blowing-up of a product of projective spaces if a suitable numerical condition on morphisms is provided (and also if all centers of the blowing-up are rationally connected).

Let $β>1$ be a non-integer. We consider expansions of the form $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} d_i β^{-i}$, where the digits $(d_i)_{i \geq 1}$ are generated by means of a Borel map $K_β$ defined on $\{0,1\}^{\N}\times [ 0, \lfloor β\rfloor /(β-1)]$. We show existence and uniqueness of an absolutely continuous $K_β$-invariant probability measure w.r.t. $m_p \otimes λ$,

We give a streamlined proof of the limit theorems for the free additive convolution of infinitesimal triangular arrays of probability measures on the real line. The result was first proved by Chistyakov and Götze using analytic subordination.

Minimal isometric immersions F in codimension two from a complete Kahler manifold into Euclidean space had been classified for dimension greater than or equal to 3. In this note we describe the non--minimal situation by showing that, if F is real analytic but not everywhere minimal, then F is a cylinder over a real Kahler surface G in Euclidean 6-space. In a

Let Phi be a reduced root system of rank r. A Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series for Phi is a Dirichlet series in r complex variables s_1,...,s_r, initially converging for Re(s_i) sufficiently large, which has meromorphic continuation to C^r and satisfies functional equations under the transformations of C^r corresponding to the Weyl group of Phi.

In the first part of the paper we study stochastic integrals of a nonrandom function with respect to a nonorthogonal Hilbert noise defined on a semiring of subsets of an arbitrary nonempty set. In the second part we apply this construction to study limit behavior of canonical (i.e., degenerate) Von Mises statistics based on weakly dependent stationary observ

In this article we obtain $L^2$ bounds for strongly singular integrals along curves in $\R^d;$ our results both generalise and extend to higher dimensions those obtained by Chandarana in the plane. Moreover, we show that the operators in question are bounded from $L\log L$ to weak $L^1$ at the critical exponent $α=0.$

D. J. Saunders

We show how the homogeneous variational bicomplex provides a useful formalism for describing a number of properties of single-integral variational problems, and we introduce a subsequence of one of the rows of the bicomplex which is locally exact with respect to the variational derivative. We are therefore able to recover a Lagrangian from a set of equations

Anton Cox, Maud De Visscher, Paul Martin

We give a geometric description of the blocks of the Brauer algebra $B_n(δ)$ in characteristic zero as orbits of the Weyl group of type $D_n$. We show how the corresponding affine Weyl group controls the representation theory of the Brauer algebra in positive characteristic, with orbits corresponding to unions of blocks.

A monoid hypersurface is an irreducible hypersurface of degree d which has a singular point of multiplicity d-1. Any monoid hypersurface admits a rational parameterization, hence is of potential interest in computer aided geometric design. We study properties of monoids in general and of monoid surfaces in particular. The main results include a description o

Basic properties of Fourier integral operators on the torus are studied by using the global representations by Fourier series instead of local representations. The results can be applied to weakly hyperbolic partial differential equations.

We study a stochastic nonlocal PDE, arising in the context of modelling spatially distributed neural activity, which is capable of sustaining stationary and moving spatially-localized ``activity bumps''. This system is known to undergo a pitchfork bifurcation in bump speed as a parameter (the strength of adaptation) is changed; yet increasing the noi

We start this paper with a historical survey of the Casimir effect, showing that its origin is related to experiments on colloidal chemistry. We present two methods of computing Casimir forces, namely: the global method introduced by Casimir, based on the idea of zero-point energy of the quantum electromagnetic field, and a local one, which requires the comp

We study T^2 orientifolds and their moduli space in detail. Geometrical insight into the involutive automorphisms of T^2 allows a straightforward derivation of the moduli space of orientifolded T^2s. Using c=3 Gepner models, we compare the explicit worldsheet sigma model of an orientifolded T^2 compactification with the CFT results. In doing so, we derive ha

A practical method is suggested for performing renormalized 2PI resummation at finite temperature using specific momentum dependent renormalization schemes. In this method there is no need to solve Bethe-Salpeter equations for 2PI resummation. We examine the consistency of such schemes in the paper. The proposed method is used to perform a two-loop renormali

New physics near the TeV scale could modify neutrino-matter interactions or generate a relatively large neutrino magnetic (transition) moment. Both types of effects have been discussed since the 1970's as alternatives to mass-induced neutrino flavor oscillations. Nowadays, the availability of high-statistics data makes it possible to turn the idea around

The dominant theoretical uncertainty in extracting $|V_{td}/V_{ts}|$ from the ratio of branching ratios $R_{ρ/ω}\equiv\bar{\cal B}(B\to (ρ,ω)γ)/\bar{\cal B}(B\to K^* γ)$ is given by the ratio of form factors $ξ_ρ\equiv T_1^{B\to K^*}(0)/T_1^{B\to ρ}(0)$. We find $ξ_ρ= 1.17\pm 0.09$ from QCD sum rules on the light-cone. Using QCD factorisation for the branchi

The color-flavor locked (CFL) phase of strangelets is investigated in a quark mass density-dependent model. Parameters are determined by stability arguments. It is concluded that three solutions to the system equations can be found, corresponding, respectively, to positively charged, negatively charged, and nearly neutral CFL strangelets.

We study the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity at the LHC through pair productions of the T-odd top quark partner (T_-) which decays into the top quark and the lightest T-odd particle.

We consider the possibility that a massive fourth family neutrino, predicted by a recently proposed minimal technicolor theory, could be the source of the dark matter in the universe. The model has two techniflavors in the adjoint representation of an SU(2) techicolor gauge group and its consistency requires the existence of a fourth family of leptons. By a

We show that a precise measurement of the single-top production cross section at the Tevatron and the LHC can strongly constrain the model parameters of the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity. A reduction in the single-top production rate from the Standard Model prediction implies new physics phenomena generated by the heavy T-parity partners of the top quar

One of the possible explanations for the dark matter needed in the standard cosmological model is so-called warm dark matter, in the form of right-handed ("sterile") neutrinos with a mass in the keV range.

Carbon is one of the most intriguing elements in the Periodic Table. It forms many allotropes, some being known from ancient times (diamond and graphite) and some discovered ten to twenty years ago (fullerenes, nanotubes).

We show that Landau theory for the isotropic, nematic, smectic A, and smectic C phases generically, but not ubiquitously, implies de Vries behavior. I.e., a continuous AC transition can occur with little layer contraction; the birefringence decreases as temperature T is lowered above this transition, and increases again below the transition.

A long, smooth cylinder is dragged through a water surface to create a cavity with an initially cylindrical shape. This surface void then collapses due to the hydrostatic pressure, leading to a rapid and axisymmetric pinch-off in a single point. Surprisingly, the depth at which this pinch-off takes place does not follow the expected Froude$^{1/3}$ power-law.

Various notions of fluctuations exist depending on the way one chooses to measure them. We discuss two extreme cases (continuous measurement versus long inter-measurement times) and we see their relation with entropy production and with escape rates. A simple explanation of why the relative entropy satisfies a Hamilton-Jacobi equation is added.

We show that a molecular BEC in a trap is stabilized against stimulated dissociation if the trap size is smaller than the resonance healing length $(\hbar^2/2mg\sqrt{n})^{1/2}$. The condensate shape determines the critical atom-molecule coupling frequency. We discuss an experiment for triggering dissociation by a sudden change of coupling or trap parameters.

A new powerful method to test the stability of the replica symmetric spin glass phase is proposed by introducing a replicon generator function g(v). Exact symmetry arguments are used to prove that its extremum is proportional to the inverse spin glass susceptibility.

The electrostatic properties of the electron system are obtained by the Thomas-Fermi-Poisson nonlinear screening theory. The electron velocity distribution as a function of the la

Nonequilibrium collective motion is ubiquitous in nature and often results in a rich collection of intringuing phenomena, such as the formation of shocks or patterns, subdiffusive kinetics, traffic jams, and nonequilibrium phase transitions. These stochastic many-body features characterize transport processes in biology, soft condensed matter and, possibly,
