In mesoscopic systems conductance fluctuations are a sensitive probe of electron dynamics and chaotic phenomena. We show that the conductance of a purely classical chaotic system with either fully chaotic or mixed phase space generically exhibits fractal conductance fluctuations unrelated to quantum interference. This might explain the unexpected dependence

We outline a method for dealing with the relaxation of optically excited NaI F centers in terms of a single effective frequency along a multimode coordinate. The 2s-2p mixing through coupling to a T_{1u} vibrational mode is also discussed with optimistic conclusions. Equilibrium nonradiative deexcitation rates are estimated and compared with intervibrational

This is continuation of the approach to performing quantum algorithms using geometric structures which was presented by Aerts and Czachor. We solve the Simon's problem which, next to the Shor's alghorithm, is a representative of a quantum hidden subgroup class. We also highlight some advantages resulting from the fact that no quantum mechanics is inv

Eclipsing planetary systems give us an important window on extrasolar planet atmospheres. By measuring the depth of the secondary eclipse, when the planet moves behind the star, we can estimate the strength of the thermal emission from the day side of the planet. Attaining a ground-based detection of one of these eclipses has proven to be a significant chall

We characterise the Priestley spaces corresponding to affine complete bounded distributive lattices. Moreover we prove that the class of affine complete bounded distributive lattices is closed under products and free products. We show that every (not necessarily bounded) distributive lattice can be embedded in an affine complete one and that $\mathbb{Q} \cap

Recently, strong AGN outbursts at the centers of galaxy clusters have been found. Using a simple model, we study particle acceleration around a shock excited by an outburst and estimate nonthermal emission from the accelerated particles. We show that emission from secondary electrons is consistent with the radio observations of the minihalo in the Perseus cl

Kubo's formula relates bulk viscosity to the retarded Green's function of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. Using low energy theorems of QCD for the latter we derive the formula which relates the bulk viscosity to the energy density and pressure of hot matter. We then employ the available lattice QCD data to extract the bulk viscosity as a fun

A method providing optimal estimate of probability density functions (PDFs) from time series is proposed. It allows almost arbitrary resolution PDFs when applied to either, sampled analytic functions or digitized data from experiments. When results are compared with PDFs of the same data calculated using the standard histogram method, a remarkable improvemen

Using a 281 pb^{-1} data sample collected at the psi(3770) with the CLEO-c detector, we present the first absolute branching fraction measurement of the decay D^0 rightarrow K^-pi^+pi^-e^+nu_e at a statistical significance of about 4.0 standard deviations. We find 10 candidates consistent with the decay D^0 rightarrow K^-pi^+pi^- e^+nu_e. The probability tha

We report on multi-frequency linear polarization monitoring of 15 active galactic nuclei containing highly relativistic jets with apparent speeds from $\sim$4 $c$ to $>40c$. The measurements were obtained at optical, 1 mm, and 3 mm wavelengths, and at 7 mm with the Very Long Baseline Array. The data show a wide range in degree of linear polarization among th

We analyze an optimal control problem for systems of integral equations of Volterra type with two independent variables. These systems generalize both, the hyperbolic control problems for systems of Goursat-Darboux type, and the optimal control of ordinary (i.e. with one independent variable) Volterra integral equations. We prove extremal principles akin to

We prove the Tate duality for higher dimensional local fields of mixed characteristic (0,p), when p is an odd prime, using the theory of higher fields of norms. Assuming that p is not ramified in the basefield, we then use this construction to define the higher Hilbert pairing. In particular, we show that the Hilbert pairing is non-degenerate, and we re-disc

The multiple scattering of high-energy particles in a thick target is fromulated in an impact parameter representation. A formalism similar but not identical to that of Moliere is obtained. We show that calculations of particle beam broadening due to multiple Coulomb scattering alone can be given in closed form. The focus of this study is on whether or not t

Gauge invariance is a powerful tool to determine the dynamics of the electroweak and strong forces. The particle content, structure and symmetries of the Standard Model Lagrangian are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the many phenomenological tests which have established this theoretical framework as the Standard Theory of electroweak interactions.

Recent simulations of merging black holes with spin give recoil velocities from gravitational radiation up to several thousand km/s. A recoiling supermassive black hole can retain the inner part of its accretion disk, providing fuel for a continuing QSO phase lasting millions of years as the hole moves away from the galactic nucleus. One possible observation

We study properties of a sequence $Λ$ obtained by a randomselection of integers $n$, where $n\inΛ$ with probability $\varpi_{n}$, independently of the other choices. We distinguish two cases : if $\limsup_{n\to\infty}n\varpi_{n}<\infty$, $Λ$ is a.s. a Sidon set, non-dense in the Bohr group ; if $\lim_{n\to\infty}n\varpi_{n}=\infty$, then $Λ$ is a.s. a set of

A longitudinal electric field is used to control the transit time (through an undoped silicon vertical channel) of spin-polarized electrons precessing in a perpendicular magnetic field. Since an applied voltage determines the final spin direction at the spin detector and hence the output collector current, this comprises a spin field-effect transistor. An im

A partially ordered set P is representable if there is a bounded distributive lattice such that its ordered set of prime ideals is order-isomorphic to P. We show that if the order components of a poset P are representable, then so is P. Moreover, we provide an example disproving the converse.

In this paper, we indicate the theoretical possibility of using the decay of polarized muons at rest as a source of the transversely polarized electron antineutrino beam. Such a beam can be used to probe new effects beyond standard model. We mean here new tests concerning CP violation, Lorentz structure and chirality structure of the charged current weak int

Most of optical gravitational lenses recently discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Lens Search (SQLS) have two-images rather than four-images, in marked contrast to radio lenses for which the fraction of four-image lenses (quad fraction) is quite high. We revisit the quad fraction among optical lenses by taking the selection function of the SQLS

Using the measured fragmentation cross sections produced from the 48Ca and 64Ni beams at 140 MeV per nucleon on 9Be and 181Ta targets, we find that the cross sections of unmeasured neutron rich nuclei can be extrapolated using a systematic trend involving the average binding energy. The extrapolated cross-sections will be very useful in planning experiments

By a combination of asymptotic ODE estimates and numerical Evans function calculations, we establish stability of viscous shock solutions of the isentropic compressible Navier--Stokes equations with $γ$-law pressure (i) in the limit as Mach number $M$ goes to infinity, for any $γ\ge 1$ (proved analytically), and (ii) for $M\ge 2,500$, $γ\in [1,2.5]$ (demonst

This paper considers a &#34;striking outwards&#34; reed coupled to a resonator. This expression, due to Helmholtz, is not discussed here : it corresponds to the most common model of a lip-type valve, when the valve is assumed to be a one degree of freedom oscillator.

In this paper, we examine the stability problem for viscous shock solutions of the isentropic compressible Navier--Stokes equations, or $p$-system with real viscosity. We first revisit the work of Matsumura and Nishihara, extending the known parameter regime for which small-amplitude viscous shocks are provably spectrally stable by an optimized version of th

Hypertoric varieties are quaternionic analogues of toric varieties, important for their interaction with the combinatorics of matroids as well as for their prominent place in the rapidly expanding field of algebraic symplectic and hyperkahler geometry. The aim of this survey is to give clear definitions and statements of known results, serving both as a refe

An analytical formula is obtained to describe the evolution of the average populations of spin components of spin-1 atomic gases. The formula is derived from the exact time-dependent solution of the Hamiltonian $H_{S}=c mathbf{S}^{2}$ without using approximation. Therefore it goes beyond the mean field theory and provides a general, accurate, and complete de

The study of the anisotropy of the arrival directions is an essential tool to investigate the origin and propagation of cosmic rays primaries. A simple way of recording many cosmic rays is to record coincidences between a number of detectors. We have monitored multi-TeV cosmic rays by a small array of water cherenkov detectors in Tehran(35 43 N, 51 20 E, 120

First observation of (anti)deuterons in deep inelastic ep scattering (DIS) measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA is reported. The production rate of deuterons is higher than that of antideuterons. However, no asymmetry in the production rate of protons and antiprotons was found. The (anti)deuteron yield is approximately three orders of magnitude smaller th

In this work, the spin dynamics of a single electron under parametric modulation of a lateral quantum dot&#39;s electrostatic potential in the presence of spin-orbit coupling is investigated.

Curry-style system F, ie. system F with no explicit types in terms, can be seen as a core presentation of polymorphism from the point of view of programming languages. This paper gives a characterisation of type isomorphisms for this language, by using a game model whose intuitions come both from the syntax and from the game semantics universe. The model is

The characterization of second-order type isomorphisms is a purely syntactical problem that we propose to study under the enlightenment of game semantics. We study this question in the case of second-order &#955;$μ$-calculus, which can be seen as an extension of system F to classical logic, and for which we de&#64257;ne a categorical framework: control hyper

A possibility to detect correlations between two quantum mechanical systems only from the information of a subsystem is investigated. For generic cases, we prove that there exist correlations between two quantum systems if the time-derivative of the reduced purity is not zero. Therefore, an experimentalist can conclude non-zero correlations between his/her s

We study thermal instability in NbN superconducting stripline resonators. The system exhibits extreme nonlinearity near a bifurcation, which separates a monostable zone and an astable one. The lifetime of the metastable state, which is locally stable in the monostable zone, is measure near the bifurcation and the results are compared with a theory. Near bifu

We consider neutralino dark matter within the framework of SUSY GUTs with non-universal gaugino masses. In particular we focus on the case of SU(5) with a SUSY breaking F-term in the 1, 24, 75 and 200 dimensional representations. We discuss the 24 case in some detail, and show that the bulk dark matter region cannot be accessed. We then go on to consider the

Consider in $L^2(R^d)$, $d\geq 1$, the operator family $H(g):=H_0+igW$. $\ds H_0= a^\ast_1a_1+... +a^\ast_da_d+d/2$ is the quantum harmonic oscillator with rational frequencies, $W$ a $P$ symmetric bounded potential, and $g$ a real coupling constant. We show that if $|g|<ρ$, $ρ$ being an explicitly determined constant, the spectrum of $H(g)$ is real and disc

A clear signature of the superconducting gap is observed with an amplitude ranging from place to place and from sample to sample (Delta~3.5-6meV). Another spectroscopic feature is simultaneously observed at high energy above \pm 50meV. Its energy scale and te

We calculate the multiple scattering effect on single hadron production in semi-inclusive lepton-nucleus deeply inelastic scattering. We show that the quantum interference of multiple scattering amplitudes leads to suppression in hadron productions. At the leading power in medium length, the suppression can be approximately expressed in terms of a shift in $

Spin-polarized currents can transfer spin angular momentum to a ferromagnet, generating a torque that can efficiently reorient its magnetization. Achieving quantitative measurements of the spin-transfer-torque vector in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) is important for understanding fundamental mechanisms affecting spin-dependent tunneling, and for developin

It is shown that multiple volume reflections from different planes of one bent crystal becomes possible when particles move at a small angle with respect to a crystal axis. Such a Multiple Volume Reflection makes it possible to increase the particle deflection angle inside one crystal by more than four times and can be used to increase the efficiency of beam

We investigate the noise properties of pump currents through molecular wires and coupled quantum dots. As a model we employ a two level system that is connected to electron reservoirs and is non-adiabatically driven. Concerning the electron-electron interaction, we focus on two limits: non-interacting electrons and strong Coulomb repulsion. While the former

Let $μ$ be a Gibbs measure of the doubling map $T$ of the circle. For a $μ$-generic point $x$ and a given sequence $\{r_n\} \subset \R^+$, consider the intervals $(T^nx - r_n \pmod 1, T^nx + r_n \pmod 1)$. In analogy to the classical Dvoretzky covering of the circle we study the covering properties of this sequence of intervals. This study is closely related

More than a century ago, G. Kowalewski stated that for each n continuous functions on a compact interval [a,b], there exists an n-point quadrature rule (with respect to Lebesgue measure on [a,b]), which is exact for given functions. Here we generalize this result to continuous functions with an arbitrary positive and finite measure on an arbitrary interval.

Although commonly employed by X-ray astronomers, maximum likelihood estimators are known to be biased. In this paper we investigate the bias associated to the measure of the temperature from an X-ray thermal spectrum. We show that, in the case of low surface brightness regions, commonly adopted estimators, such as those based on chi squared and Cash statisti

Coulomb repulsion between electrons moving on a frustrated lattice can give rise, at simple commensurate electronic densities, to exotic insulating phases of matter. Such a phenomenon is illustrated using an extended t--J model on a planar pyrochlore lattice for which the work on the quarter-filled case [cond-mat/0702367] is complemented and extended to 1/8-

In the isolated complete intersection singularity case, it coincides with the one given by Ebeling and Steenbrink except for the coefficients of integral exponents.

A quantum computer is a machine that can perform certain calculations much faster than a classical computer by using the laws of quantum mechanics.

Astrometric data on the pulsars B2020+28 and B2021+51 suggest that they originated within several parsecs of each other in the direction of the Cyg OB2 association.

Yukawa potentials may be long ranged when the Debye screening length is large. In computer simulations, such long ranged potentials have to be taken into account with convenient algorithms to avoid systematic bias in the sampling of the phase space.

It is well known that, in theory, the general secure multi-party computation problem is solvable using circuit evaluation protocols. However, the communication complexity of the resulting protocols depend on the size of the circuit that expresses the functionality to be computed and hence can be impractical.

The aim of this paper is to revisit the implications of complementarity when we inject into a Mach Zehnder interferometer particles with internal structure, prepared in special translational-internal entangled (TIE) states. This correlation causes the path distinguishability to be phase dependent in contrast to the standard case. We show that such a TIE stat

Magnetic fields have been observed on all scales in our Galaxy, from AU to kpc. With pulsar dispersion measures and rotation measures, we can directly measure the magnetic fields in a very large region of the Galactic disk.

In two recent articles, Meiser and Meystre describe the coupled dynamics of a dense gas of atoms and an optical cavity pumped by a laser field. They make two important simplifying assumptions: (i) the gas of atoms forms a regular lattice and can be replaced by a fictitious mirror, and (ii) the atoms strive to minimize the dipole potential.

Picone-type identities are established for half-linear ODEs of fourth order (one-dimensional p-biLaplacian). It is shown that in the linear case they reduce to the known identities for fourth order linear ODEs.

We find that peaks in the autocorrelation of angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy data of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ in the superconducting state show dispersive behavior for binding energies smaller than the maximum superconducting energy gap. For higher energies, though, a striking anomalous dispersion is observed that is a consequence of the inter

We define an infinite stochastic state machine, the Battery-Discharge-Model (BDM), which simulates the behaviour of linear and jump complexity of the continued fraction expansion of multidimensional formal power series, a relevant security measure in the cryptanalysis of stream ciphers. We also obtain finite approximations to the infinite BDM, where polynomi

There are Noetherian rings (in fact domains) with a free additive group, in every infinite cardinality. (This is an expanded version of [SgSh:217] which appears in the Abstracts of the American Mathematical Society 7 (1986): 369.)

In this work we examine the Fat-Link Irrelevant Clover (FLIC) overlap quark propagator and the gluon propagator on both dynamical and quenched lattices. The tadpole-improved Luscher-Weisz gauge action is used in both cases. The dynamical gauge fields use the FLIC fermion action for the sea quark contribution. We observe that the presence of sea quarks causes

We prove that the automorphism group of a toric Deligne-Mumford stack is isomorphic to the $2$-group associated to the stacky fan.

This is an overview of merging the techniques of Riesz space theory and convex geometry.

We study the propagation of gravitons within 5-D supersymmetric braneworld models with a bulk scalar field. The setup considered here consists of a 5-D bulk spacetime bounded by two 4-D branes localized at the fixed points of an $S^1/Z_2$ orbifold. There is a scalar field $ϕ$ in the bulk which, provided a superpotential $W(ϕ)$, determines the warped geometry

A minimal permutation representation of a finite group G is a faithful G-set with the smallest possible size. We study the structure of such representations and show that for certain groups they may be obtained by a greedy construction. In these situations (except when central involutions intervene) all minimal permutation representations have the same set o
