We here provide further details on the construction and properties of mass dimension one quantum fields based on Elko expansion coefficients. We show that by a judicious choice of phases, the locality structure can be dramatically improved. In the process we construct a fermionic dark matter candidate which carries not only an unsuppressed quartic self inter

A new type of Hopf invariant is described for the fiber of the pinch map from the mapping cone of a map from A to X onto to the suspension of A; this is then used to study the boundary map in the fibration sequence of Cohen, Moore and Neisendorfer in the case that the mapping cone is an odd dimensional Moore space. The components of the boundary map are then

A newly developed fast molecular-dynamics method is applied to BaTiO3 ferroelectric thin-film capacitors with short-circuited electrodes or under applied voltage. The molecular-dynamics simulations based on a first-principles effective Hamiltonian clarify that dead layers (or passive layers) between ferroelectrics and electrodes markedly affect the propertie

We design an ingenious scheme to realize the Haldane's quantum Hall model without Landau level by using ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice. Three standing-wave laser beams are used to construct a wanted honeycomb lattice, where different on-site energies in two sublattices required in the Haldane's model can be implemented through tuning t

We discover an explicit expansion formula for the powers $s$ of the Euler Product (or Dedekind $η$-function) in terms of hook lengths of partitions, where the exponent $s$ is any complex number. Several classical formulas have been derived for certain integers $s$ by Euler, Jacobi, Klein, Fricke, Atkin, Winquist, Dyson and Macdonald. In particular, Macdonald

We consider supersymmetric QCD in the free magnetic phase with massless and massive flavors. The theory has a supersymmetry breaking pseudo-moduli space of vacua and a runaway behavior far away from the origin. A two-loop computation reveals that the origin is destabilized and there is no meta-stable SUSY breaking solution. We also study the embedding of thi

This paper presents the application of the Szekeres Swiss Cheese model to the analysis of observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. The impact of inhomogeneous matter distribution on the CMB observations is in most cases studied within the linear perturbations of the Friedmann model. However, since the density contrast and the Weyl cur

To describe the non-equilibrium dynamics of random systems, we have recently introduced (C. Monthus and T. Garel, arxiv:0802.2502) a 'strong disorder renormalization' (RG) procedure in configuration space that can be defined for any master equation. In the present paper, we analyze in details the properties of the large time dynamics whenever the RG

We analyze the inclusive decay mode $B\to X_s+{\rm Missing Energy}$ in the unparticle model, where an unparticle can also serve as the missing energy. We use the Heavy Quark Effective Theory in the calculation. The analytical result of the decay width in the free quark limit and that of the differential decay rate to the order of $1/m_b^2$ are presented. Num

In this letter we calculate the energy loss of highly magnetized neutron star due to friction with quantum vacuum, namely Quantum Vacuum Friction (QVF). Taking into account one-loop corrections in the effective Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian of the light-light interaction, we derive an analytic expression for QVF allowing us to consider magnetic field at the su

We consider the min-cost multicast problem (under network coding) with multiple correlated sources where each terminal wants to losslessly reconstruct all the sources. We study the inefficiency brought forth by the selfish behavior of the terminals in this scenario by modeling it as a noncooperative game among the terminals. The degradation in performance du

We show that a large class of non-metric, non-symplectic affine holonomies can be realized, uniformly and without case by case considerations, by Weyl connections associated to the natural AHS-structures on certain generalized flag manifolds.

We construct a kappa symmetric WZNW model for the OSp(2|2) supergroup, whose bosonic part is AdS3xS1 space. The field equation gives the chiral current conservation and the right/left factorization is shown after the kappa symmetry is fixed. The right-moving modes contain both bosons and fermions while the left-moving modes contain only bosons.

We propose the superfluid to Mott-insulator quantum phase transition in an array of exciton-polariton traps can be utilized for massive parallel generation of indistinguishable single photons. By means of analytical and numerical methods, the device operations and system properties are studied using realistic experimental parameters. Such a deterministic, fa

Thermal history of the universe after big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) is well understood both theoretically and observationally, and recent cosmological observations also begin to reveal the inflationary dynamics. However, the epoch between inflation and BBN is scarcely known. In this paper we show that the detection of the stochastic gravitational wave backg

This paper presents the structure conversion by which from an Ann-category $\A,$ we can obtain its reduced Ann-category of the type $(R,M)$ whose structure is a family of five functions $k=(ξ,η,α,λ,ρ)$. Then we will show that each Ann-category is determined by three invariants: 1. The ring $Π_0(\A)$ of the isomorphic classes of objects of $\A$, 2. $Π_0(\A)$-

A long-term strategy based on existing technological, ecological, economical, and geopolitical realities is urgently needed to develop a sustainable energy economy, which should be designed with adaptability to unpredicted changes in any of these aspects.

The lowest Landau level of graphene is studied numerically by considering a tight-binding Hamiltonian with disorder. The Hall conductance $σ_\mathrm{xy}$ and the longitudinal conductance $σ_\mathrm{xx}$ are computed. We demonstrate that bond disorder can produce a plateau-like feature centered at $ν=0$, while the longitudinal conductance is nonzero in the sa

In this work we relate the deterministic complexity of factoring polynomials (over finite fields) to certain combinatorial objects we call m-schemes. We extend the known conditional deterministic subexponential time polynomial factoring algorithm for finite fields to get an underlying m-scheme. We demonstrate how the properties of m-schemes relate to improve

The intriguing nano-structural properties of a ZnMnGaO4 film epitaxially grown on MgO (001) substrate have been investigated using synchrotron radiation-based x-ray diffraction. The ZnMnGaO4 film consisted of a self-assembled checkerboard (CB) structure with perfectly aligned and regularly spaced vertical nanorods. The lattice parameters of the orthorhombic

We show that when an individual particle is dragged through an assembly of other particles in the presence of quenched disorder, a viscous decoupling transition occurs between the dragged particle and the surrounding particles which is controlled by the quenched disorder. A counterintuitive consequence of this transition is that the velocity of the dragged p

We make a detailed analysis of error mechanisms, gate fidelity, and scalability of proposals for quantum computation with neutral atoms in addressable (large lattice constant) optical lattices. We have identified possible limits to the size of quantum computations, arising in 3D optical lattices from current limitations on the ability to perform single qubit

In this note we propose an encryption communication protocol which also provides database security. For the encryption of the data communication we use a transformation similar to the Cubic Public-key transformation. This method represents a many-to-one mapping which increases the complexity for any brute force attack. Some interesting properties of the tran

In this Thesis we study the quantum to classical transition process in the context of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. We shall analyze the effects that general environments, namely ohmic and non-ohmic, at zero and high temperature induce over a quantum Brownian particle.

We introduce the concept of boundaries of a complex network as the set of nodes at distance larger than the mean distance from a given node in the network. We study the statistical properties of the boundaries nodes of complex networks. We find that for both Erdös-Rényi and scale-free model networks, as well as for several real networks, the boundaries have

As a generic model for liquid-vapour type transitions in random porous media, the Asakura-Oosawa model for colloid-polymer mixtures is studied in a matrix of quenched spheres using extensive Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Since such systems at criticality, as well as in the two-phase region, exhibit lack of self-averaging, the analysis of MC data via finite s

We report on a new optical implementation of primary gas thermometry based on laser absorption spectrometry in the near infrared. The method consists in retrieving the Doppler broadening from highly accurate observations of the line shape of the R(12) $ν_{1} + 2 ν_{2}^{\phantom{1}0} + ν_{3}$ transition in CO$_{2}$ gas at thermodynamic equilibrium.

Estimates of galaxy merger rates based on counts of close pairs typically assume that most of the observed systems will merge within a few hundred Myr (for projected pair separations <25 kpc/h). Here we investigate these assumptions using virtual galaxy catalogues derived from the Millennium Simulation, a very large N-body simulation of structure formation i

Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are challenging objects to detect using automated techniques, due to their high velocity and diffuse, irregular morphology. A necessary step to automating the detection process is to first remove the subjectivity introduced by the observer used in the current, standard, CME detection and tracking method. Here we describe and dem

Based on the recent work \cite{KKK} for compact potentials, we develop the spectral theory for the one-dimensional discrete Schrödinger operator $$ H ϕ= (-\De + V)ϕ=-(ϕ_{n+1} + ϕ_{n-1} - 2 ϕ_n) + V_n ϕ_n. $$ We show that under appropriate decay conditions on the general potential (and a non-resonance condition at the spectral edges), the spectrum of $H$ cons

We have performed Hartree-Fock calculations of electronic structure of N \le 10 electrons in a quantum dot modeled with a confining Gaussian potential well. We discuss the conditions for the stability of N bound electrons in the system. We show that the most relevant parameter determining the number of bound electrons is $V_0 R^2$. Such a property arises fro

Rescattering electrons offer great potential as probes of molecular properties on ultrafast timescales. The most famous example is molecular tomography, in which high harmonic spectra of oriented molecules are mapped to ``tomographic images&#39;&#39; of the relevant molecular orbitals. The accuracy of such reconstructions may be greatly affected by the disto

The results of calculations of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters for the lead halides is reported in this paper. The results are obtained by using four-component methods. The use of the nonrelativistic Lévy-Leblond Hamiltonian along with the relativistic Dirac-Coulomb and spin-free ones allows us to discriminate scalar and spin-dependent effects on

Aims: NGC 1530 has one of the strongest bars ever observed and recent star formation sites are distributed across its bar. Our aim is to study the photometric properties of the bar and its HII regions, to elucidate the conditions under which HII regions form and their spatial relation to the principal dynamical features of the bar. Methods: We obtained BVRKs

We consider classes of translationally invariant black hole solutions whose equations of state closely resemble that of QCD at zero chemical potential. We use these backgrounds to compute the ratio zeta/s of bulk viscosity to entropy density. For a class of black holes that exhibits a first order transition, we observe a sharp rise in zeta/s near T_c. For co

Let $(X,\mathcal{B}, μ, T)$ be an ergodic dynamical system on a non-atomic finite measure space. Consider the maximal function $\dis R^*:(f, g) \in L^1\times L^1 \to R^*(f, g)(x) = \sup_{n} \frac{f(T^nx)g(T^{2n}x)}{n}.$ We show that there exist $f$ and $g$ such that $R^*(f, g)(x)$ is not finite almost everywhere. Two consequences are derived. The bilinear Ha

This is a continuation of the earlier work \cite{SSS} to characterize stationary unitary increment Gaussian processes. The earlier assumption of uniform continuity is replaced by weak continuity and with a technical assumption on the domain of the generator, unitary equivalence of the processes to the solution of Hudson-Parthasarathy equation is proved.

A long-term numerical integration of the classical Newtonian approximation to the planetary orbital motions of the full Solar System (sun + 8 planets), spanning 20 Gyr, was performed. The results showed no severe instability arising over this time interval. Subsequently, utilizing a bifurcation method described by Jacques Laskar, two numerical experiments we

It is proved that the unital Banach algebra of almost periodic functions of several variables with Bohr-Fourier spectrum in a given additive semigroup is an Hermite ring. The same property holds for the Wiener algebra of functions that in addition have absolutely convergent Bohr-Fourier series. As applications of the Hermite property of these algebras, we st

We present the spectra of 36 Supernovae (SNe) of various types, obtained by the European Supernova Collaboration. Because of the spectral classification and the phase determination at their discovery the SNe did not warrant further study, and the spectra we present are the only available for the respective objects. In this paper we present and discuss this m

Among the most puzzling questions in climate change is that of solar-climate variability, which has attracted the attention of scientists for more than two centuries. Until recently, even the existence of solar-climate variability has been controversial - perhaps because the observations had largely involved temporary correlations between climate and the sun

We study new statistics on permutations that are variations on the descent and the inversion statistics. In particular, we consider the alternating descent set of a permutation sigma = sigma_1sigma_2...sigma_n defined as the set of indices i such that either i is odd and sigma_i > sigma_{i+1}, or i is even and sigma_i < sigma_{i+1}. We show that this statist

The paper presents an analysis on the use of integrals defined for non-additive measures (or capacities) as the Choquet and the \Sipos{} integral, and the multilinear model, all seen as extensions of pseudo-Boolean functions, and used as a means to model interaction between criteria in a multicriteria decision making problem. The emphasis is put on the use,

There has been a vast recent improvement in photometric and kinematic data for star clusters, Ultra Compact dwarfs, galactic nuclei, and local dSph galaxies, with Subaru contributing substantially to the photometric studies in particular. These data show that there is a bimodal distribution in half-light radii, with stable star clusters always being smaller

Reversible reaction-diffusion systems display anomalous dynamics characterized by a power-law relaxation toward stationarity. In this paper we study in the aging regime the nonequilibrium dynamical properties of some model systems with reversible reactions. Starting from the exact Langevin equations describing these models, we derive expressions for two-time

Motivated by the recent construction of a translation-invariant renormalizable non-commutative model for a scalar field (see arXiv:0802.0791 [math-ph]), we introduce models for non-commutative U(1) gauge fields along the same lines. More precisely, we include some extra terms into the action with the aim of getting rid of the UV/IR mixing.

During the three decades since its theoretical discovery the Blandford-Znajek process of extracting the rotational energy of black holes has become one of the foundation stones in the building of modern relativistic astrophysics. However, it is also true that for a long time its physics was not well understood, as evidenced by the controversy that surrounded

Monte-Carlo simulations are routinely used for estimating the scaling exponents of complex systems. However, due to finite-size effects, determining the exponent values is often difficult and not reliable. Here we present a novel technique of dealing the problem of finite-size scaling. The efficiency of the technique is demonstrated on two data sets.

Bose-Einstein condensate of rarified atomic gases is considered as the state formed by exchange of virtual photons, resonant to the lowest levels of atoms; such representation corresponds to the Einstein opinion about an inter-influence of condensable particles.

The dynamic scaling of curved interfaces presents features that are strikingly different from those of the planar ones. Spherical surfaces above one dimension are flat because the noise is irrelevant in such cases.

We report an electrically driven semiconductor single photon source capable of emitting photons with a coherence time of up to 400 ps under fixed bias. It is shown that increasing the injection current causes the coherence time to reduce and this effect is well explained by the fast modulation of a fluctuating environment.

We derive the polarization-dependent displacements parallel and perpendicular to the plane of incidence, for a Gaussian light beam reflected from a planar interface, taking into account the propagation of the beam.

Electron counting of a single porphyrin molecule between two electrodes shows a crossover from sub- to super-Poissonian statistics as the bias voltage is scanned.

We study the behaviour of the Binder cumulant on finite square lattices at the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition.

We propose a new method for the calculation of thermodynamic properties of one-dimensional quantum systems by combining the TMRG approach with the corner transfer-matrix method.

The scattering of a charged scalar field on Coulomb potential on de Sitter space-time is studied using the solution of the free Klein-Gordon equation.

An exact algorithm is used to compute the degeneracies of the excited states of the bimodal Ising spin glass in two dimensions. It is found that the specific heat at arbitrary low temperature is not a self-averaging quantity and has a distribution that is neither normal or lognormal. Nevertheless, it is possible to estimate the most likely value and this is

The long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 030329, associated with supernova (SN) 2003dh, occurred inside a star-forming dwarf galaxy at redshift $z=0.1685$. The low redshift, and a rich set of archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images, makes this GRB well-suited for a detailed study of the stellar population in the immediate vicinity of the explosion. Since

The quaternary antimonide oxides REMnSbO (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb) and REZnSbO (RE = La, Ce, Pr) were synthesized from the RESb monoantimonides and MnO, respectively ZnO. We report on single crystal X-ray data and a detailed 121Sb Mössbauer spectroscopic investigation.

We present exact analytical bright and dark (black and grey) solitary wave solutions of a nonlinear Schrodinger-type equation describing the propagation of spatial beams in media exhibiting a saturable nonlinearity (such as centrosymmetric photorefractive materials). A qualitative study of the stationary equation is carried out together with a discussion of

The ground state of solid $^4$He is studied using the diffusion Monte Carlo method and a new trial wave function able to describe the supersolid. The new wave function is symmetric under the exchange of particles and reproduces the experimental equation of state. Results for the one-body density matrix show the existence of off-diagonal long-range order with

Let $(X_i)_{i\in\Z}$ be a regular stationary process for a given filtration. The weak invariance principle holds under the condition $\sum_{i\in\Z}\|P_0(X_i)\|_2<\infty$ (see Hannan (1979)}, Dedecker and Merlevède (2003), Deddecker, Merlevéde and Volný (2007)). In this paper, we show that this criterion is independent of other known criteria: the martingale-

We suggest a method for holding a dictionary data structure, which maps keys to values, in the spirit of Bloom Filters. The space requirements of the dictionary we suggest are much smaller than those of a hashtable. We allow storing n keys, each mapped to value which is a string of k bits. Our suggested method requires nk + o(n) bits space to store the dicti

A linearized version of Heisenberg&#39;s fundamental equation is solved, and the solutions satisfy the axioms of a relativistic quantum field theory with a fundamental length.

We investigate the structural, kinematical, and chemical properties of globular cluster systems (GCSs) in galaxies of different Hubble types in a self-consistent manner based on high-resolution cosmological N-body simulations combined with semi-analytic models of galaxy and globular cluster (GC) formation. We focus on correlations between the physical proper
