We investigate the relation between Trees of Fragmenting Granules (TFGs) and the locations of concentrated magnetic flux in internetwork areas. The former have previously been identified with mesogranulation. While a relationship has been suggested to exist between these features, no direct evidence has yet been provided. We present some preliminary results

We investigate features that are observed in Ca ii H sequences from Hinode in places where reversed granulation seems to interact with p-modes. These features appear ubiquitously in the quiet sun. They are co-spatial with reversed granulation, and display similar general properties, but have sharper edges and show fast brightness changes. They also appear pr

We discuss two problems which are particularly challenging for approximations in time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to capture: momentum-distributions in ionization processes, and memory-dependence in real-time dynamics. We propose an extension of TDDFT to phase-space densities, discuss some formal aspects of such a "phase-space density fun

We show on a 4x4 example that many dynamics may eliminate all strategies used in correlated equilibria, and this for an open set of games. This holds for the best-response dynamics, the Brown-von Neumann-Nash dynamics and any monotonic or weakly sign-preserving dynamics satisfying some standard regularity conditions. For the replicator dynamics and the best-

We consider the Lie algebra associated with the descending central series filtration of the pure braid group of a closed surface of arbitrary genus. R. Bezrukavnikov gave a presentation of this Lie algebra over the rational numbers. We show that his presentation remains true for this Lie algebra itself, i.e. over integers.

We study the extrapolation properties of vector valued rearrangement operators acting on the normalized Haar basis in $L^p_X .$

The hypothetical existence of a good theory of mixed motives predicts many deep phenomena related to algebraic cycles. One of these, a generalization of Bloch's conjecture says that "small Hodge diamonds" go with "small Chow groups". Voisin's method (which produces examples with small Chow groups) is analyzed carefully to widen its ap

Consider an homogeneous space under a locally compact group G and a lattice in G. Then the lattice naturally acts on the homogeneous space. Looking at a dense orbit, one may wonder how to describe its repartition. One then adopt a dynamical point of view and compare the asymptotic distribution of points in the orbits with the natural measure on the space. In

In this paper we continue the study of spectral properties of the Dunkl harmonic oscillator in the context of a finite reflection group on $\mathbb{R}^d$ isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^d_2$. We prove that imaginary powers of this operator are bounded on $L^p$, $1<p<\infty$, and from $L^1$ into weak $L^1$.

We present a high-power optical parametric oscillator-based frequency comb in the mid-infrared wavelength region using periodically poled lithium niobate. The system is synchronously pumped by a 10-W femtosecond Yb:fiber laser centered at 1.07 um and is singly resonant for the signal. The idler (signal) wavelength can be continuously tuned from 2.8 to 4.8 um

We determine the sub-collections of the dyadic intervals that are able to detect the Haar type of a Banach space. The underlying dichotomy is expressed in terms of the Carleson packing condition.

The surface stabilized MnO(100)-like monolayer, characterised by a regular c(4x2) distribution of Mn vacancies, is studied by hybrid functionals and discussed in the light of available scanning tunneling microscopy and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy data. We show that the use of hybrid functionals is crucial to account for the intermingled

Superconductivity in Pb, H under extreme pressure and CaBeSi, in the framework of the density functional theory for superconductors, is discussed. A detailed analysis on how the electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions combine together to determine the superconducting gap and critical temperature of these systems is presented.

This is a survey of the theory of complex projective (CP^1) structures on compact surfaces. After some preliminary discussion and definitions, we concentrate on three main topics: (1) Using the Schwarzian derivative to parameterize the moduli space (2) Thurston&#39;s parameterization of the moduli space using grafting (3) Holonomy representations of CP^1 str

We studied a response of Bi-2212 mesa type structures to 100 GHz microwave radiation. We found that applying magnetic field of about 0.1 T across the layers enables to observe collective Shapiro step response corresponding to a synchronization of all 50 intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJ) of the mesa. At high microwave power we observed up to 10th harmonics

We study tunneling of massless and massive particles through the smeared quantum horizon of the extra-dimensional Schwarzschild black holes. The emission rate of the particles&#39; tunneling is modified by noncommutativity effects in a bulk spacetime of dimension $d$. The issues of information loss and possible correlations between emitted particles are disc

In this paper we analyze the vibrational spectra of a large ensemble of non-homologous protein structures by means of a novel tool, that we coin the Hierarchical Network Model (HNM). Our coarse-grained scheme accounts for the intrinsic heterogeneity of force constants displayed by protein arrangements and also incorporates side-chain degrees of freedom. Our

Computational ghost imaging has been demonstrated experimentally recently. In this comment we wish to clarify the difference between pseudothermal ghost imaging (PGI) and computational ghost imaging (CGI). In particular, to emphasize the physics that arises from the difference in the type of sources used. The experiment in [2] is not a PGI experiment but is

We extend the notion of randomness (in the version introduced by Schnorr) to computable Probability Spaces and compare it to a dynamical notion of randomness: typicality. Roughly, a point is typical for some dynamic, if it follows the statistical behavior of the system (Birkhoff&#39;s pointwise ergodic theorem). We prove that a point is Schnorr random if and

Protein folding, peptide aggregation and crystallization, as well as adsorption of molecules on soft or solid substrates have an essential feature in common: In all these processes, structure formation is guided by a collective, cooperative behavior of the molecular subunits lining up to build chainlike macromolecules. Proteins experience conformational tran

A Jacobi matrix with matrix entries is a self-adjoint block tridiagonal matrix with invertible blocks on the off-diagonals. Averaging over boundary conditions leads to explicit formulas for the averaged spectral measure which can potentially be useful for spectral analysis. Furthermore another variant of spectral averaging over coupling constants for these o

We present an original method for reconstructing a three-dimensional object having two spatial dimensions and one spectral dimension from data provided by the infrared slit spectrograph on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. During acquisition, the light flux is deformed by a complex process comprising four main elements (the telescope aperture, the slit, the

Given a combinatorial optimization problem $Π$ and an increasing finite sequence $c$ of natural numbers, we obtain a cardinality constrained version $Π_c$ of $Π$ by permitting only those feasible solutions of $Π$ whose cardinalities are members of $c$. We are interested in polyhedra associated with those problems, in particular in inequalities that cut off s

We consider Buch&#39;s rule for K-theory of the Grassmannian, in the Schur multiplicity-free cases classified by Stembridge. Using a result of Knutson, one sees that Buch&#39;s coefficients are related to Moebius inversion. We give a direct combinatorial proof of this by considering the product expansion for Grassmannian Grothendieck polynomials. We end with

We show that the fundamental class in K-homology of a Frobenius split scheme can be computed as a certain alternating sum over irreducible varieties, with the coefficients computed using Möbius inversion on a certain poset. If G/P is a generalized flag manifold and X is an irreducible subvariety homologous to a multiplicity-free union of Schubert varieties,

We consider nonlinear diffusion of some substance in a container (not necessarily bounded) with bounded boundary of class C^2. Suppose that, initially, the container is empty and, at all times, the substance at its boundary is kept at density 1. We show that, if the container contains a proper C^2-subdomain on whose boundary the substance has constant densit

Surface plasmons are usually described as surface waves with either a complex wavevector or a complex frequency. When discussing their merits in terms of field confinment or enhancement of the local density of states, controversies regularly arise as the results depend on the choice of a complex wavevector or a complex frequency. In particular, the shape of

Magnetotransport of natural graphite and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) has been measured at mK temperatures. Quantum oscillations for both electron and hole carriers are observed with orbital angular momentum quantum number up to $N\approx90$. A remarkable agreement is obtained when comparing the data and the predictions of the Slonczewski--Weiss

By means of a new canonical transformation for the one-band Hubbard model at half filling we show the existence of Cooper pairs formed by strongly interacting quasiparticles.

We establish inequalities for the eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators on compact submanifolds (possibly with nonempty boundary) of Euclidean spaces, of spheres, and of real, complex and quaternionic projective spaces, which are related to inequalities for the Laplacian on Euclidean domains due to Payne, Pólya, and Weinberger and to Yang, but which depend in

The recent crash demonstrated (once again) that the description of the financial market by present financial mathematics cannot be considered as totally satisfactory. We remind that nowadays financial mathematics is heavily based on the use of random variables and stochastic processes which are described by Kolmogorov&#39;s measure-theoretic model for probab

We establish a close connection between the intersection multiplicity of three arithmetic Hirzebruch-Zagier cycles and the Fourier coefficients of the derivative of a certain Siegel-Eisenstein series at its center of symmetry. Our main result proves a conjecture of Kudla and Rapoport.

We calculate the spectra of charmonium and bottomium in an approximation scheme which treats hard gluons perturbatively while soft gluons are expanded in a set of localized wave functions. Quark-antiquark and quark-antiquark-gluon sectors are included. Reasonable agreement with 2 parameters only is found but the spectra are too coulombic. Despite large coupl

Employing a simple hydrophobic-polar heteropolymer model, we compare thermodynamic quantities obtained from Andersen and Nose-Hoover molecular dynamics as well as replica-exchange Monte Carlo methods. We find qualitative correspondence in the results, but serious quantitative differences using the Nose-Hoover chain thermostat. For analyzing the deviations, w

We compute the real part of the 2-loop vertex corrections for charmless hadronic B decays, completing the NNLO calculation of the topological tree amplitudes in QCD factorization. Among the technical aspects we show that the hard-scattering kernels are free of soft and collinear infrared divergences at the 2-loop level, which follows after an intricate subtr

Suppose that we have two entangled states $\ket {ϕ_1}$, $\ket{ψ_1}$ that cannot be converted to any of other two states $\ket{ϕ_2}$, $\ket{ψ_2}$ by local operations and classical communication. We analyze the possibility of locally transforming a superposition of $\ket{ϕ_1}$ and $\ket{ψ_1}$ into a superposition of $\ket{ϕ_2}$ and $\ket{ψ_2}$. By using the Ni

Recent development of network structure analysis shows that it plays an important role in characterizing complex system of many branches of sciences. Different from previous network centrality measures, this paper proposes the notion of topological centrality (TC) reflecting the topological positions of nodes and edges in general networks, and proposes an ap

The repartition of dense orbits of $\textrm{SL}(2,\dr Z)$ in the euclidean plane is described by Ledrappier and Nogueira. We describe here the specific patterns one can see by experimentation, linking it to diophantine approximation theory.

Let H be a regular element of an irreducible Lie Algebra g, and let mu be the orbital measure supported on the Adjoint orbit of H. We show that the k-th power of the Fourier transform of mu is in L^2(g) if and only if k > dim g/(dim g-rank g).

In order to investigate formation of relativistic jets at the center of a progenitor of a long gamma-ray burst (GRB), we develop a two-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) code. We show the code passes many, well-known test calculations, by which the reliability of the code is confirmed. Then we perform a numerical simulation of a col

A conjecture of C. Bonnafé, M. Geck, L. Iancu, and T. Lam parameterizes Kazhdan-Lusztig left cells for unequal parameter Hecke algebras in type $B_n$ by families of standard domino tableaux of arbitrary rank. Relying on a family of properties outlined by G. Lusztig and the recent work of C. Bonnafé, we verify the conjecture and describe the structure of each

The SUSY flavour problem is deeply related to the origin of flavour and hence to the origin of the SM Yukawa couplings themselves. Since all CP-violation in the SM is restricted to the flavour sector, it is possible that the SUSY CP problem is related to the origin of flavour as well. In this work, we present three variations of an SU(3) flavour model with s

We review our work of the past decade on one-loop quantum corrections to the mass M and central charge Z of solitons in supersymmetric field theories: the kink, the vortex, and the monopoles (focussing on the kink and the monopoles here). In each case a new feature was needed to obtain BPS saturation: a new anomaly-like contribution to Z for the kink and the

While the traditional local-density approximation (LDA) cannot describe Mott insulators, {\it ab-initio} determination of the Hubbard $U$, for example, limits LDA-plus dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) approaches. Here, we attempt to overcome these bottlenecks by achieving fusion of the quantum chemistry (QC) approach with DMFT. QC+DMFT supplants the LDA ba

The mutual neutralization of H^+ and H^- ions at low collision energies is studied by means of a molecular close-coupling approach. All degrees of freedom are treated at the full quantum level taking into account also the identity of the nuclei. The relevant ^1Sigma_g,u^+ electronic states and their associated nonadiabatic radial couplings are calculated for

We study a one dimensional gas of needle-like objects as a testing ground for a formalism that relates the thermodynamic properties of &#34;hard&#34; potentials to the probabilities for contacts between particles. Specifically, we use Monte Carlo methods to calculate the pressure and elasticity coefficient of the hard-needle gas as a function of its density.

Globular clusters are dense stellar systems that have typical ages of ~13 billion years, implying that they formed at redshifts of z>~6. Massive stars in newly formed or primordial globular clusters could have played an important role during the epoch of cosmological reionisation (z>~6) as sources of energetic, neutral hydrogen ionising UV photons. We invest

A new classical, non singular solution with arbitrarily low energy is found for SU(2) non abelian fields in the presence of a static charge. Physically it means that a classical charge coupled to any SU(N) non abelian gauge field will develop a pure gauge field, carrying no energy, that will completely screen it - there are no visible classical non abelian c

In the context of a classical example of glass-formation in 3-dimensions we exemplify how to construct a statistical mechanical theory of the glass transition.

Task parallelism as employed by the OpenMP task construct, although ideal for tackling irregular problems or typical producer/consumer schemes, bears some potential for performance bottlenecks if locality of data access is important, which is typically the case for memory-bound code on ccNUMA systems.

We make a detailed study of the longitudinal polarization of hyperons and anti-hyperons in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering.

We study a large class of critical two-dimensional Ising models, namely critical Z-invariant Ising models.

In this paper, we give a full description of the dimer model

We employ a straightforward relation between mutually unbiased and Bell bases to extend the latter in terms of a direct construction for the former.

In 1967, Ross and Strömberg published a theorem about pointwise limits of orbital integrals for the left action of a locally compact group $G$ onto $(G,ρ)$, where $ρ$ is the right Haar measure. In this paper, we study the same kind of problem, but more generally for left actions of $G$ onto any measured space $(X,μ)$, which leaves the $σ$-finite measure $μ$

The aim of this paper is to study the $L^1$-stability of periodic stationary solutions of scalar convection-diffusion equations. We obtain dispersion in $L^2$ for all space dimensions using Kružkov type entropy. And when the space dimension is one, we estimate the number of sign changes of a solution to obtain $L^1$-stability.

The described multicoloring problem has direct applications in the context of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. In order to coordinate the access to the shared wireless medium, the nodes of such a network need to employ some medium access control (MAC) protocol.

Based on numerical simulations and analytical calculations we formulate a new conjecture concerning the multipole moments of a rigidly rotating fluid body in equilibrium. The conjecture implies that the exterior region of such a fluid is not described by the Kerr metric.

The correspondence between $f(R)$ theories of gravity and model theories explaining induced dark energy in a 5D Ricci-flat universe, known as the Space-Time-Matter theory (STM), is studied.

The magnetoresistance (MR) of CeCoIn_5 is notably different from that in many conventional metals.

We treat the problem of diffusion of solute atoms around screw dislocations. In particular, we express and solve the diffusion equation, in radial symmetry, in an elastic field of a screw dislocation subject to the flux conservation boundary condition at the interface of a new phase.

A second-order PDE is derived from Euler&#39;s equaitons under certain assumptions. It is shown that this PDE admits shock and rarefaction waves, and that a single point gradient blow-up admits a unique similarity extension after blow-up that settles uniqueness/entropy issues for such equations.

The present work proposes a theory of isotropic and homogeneous turbulence for incompressible fluids, which assumes that the turbulence is due to the bifurcations associated to the velocity field.

AGN exhibit complex hard X-ray spectra.

The Earth&#39;s core consists of a solid ball with a radius of 1221 Km, surrounded by a liquid shell which extends up to 3480 Km from the centre of the planet, roughly half way towards the surface (the mean radius of the Earth is 6373 km). The main constituent of the core is iron, and therefore the melting temperature of iron at the pressure encountered at t

The already very active field of cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), traditionally studied in atomic systems, has recently gained additional momentum by the advent of experiments with semiconducting and superconducting systems. In these solid state implementations, novel quantum optics experiments are enabled by the possibility to engineer many of the char

We consider the wave equation in a smooth domain subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one part of the boundary and dissipative boundary conditions of memory-delay type on the remainder part of the boundary, where a general borelian measure is involved. Under quite weak assumptions on this measure, using the multiplier method and a standard integral in

Multi-particle dynamics in one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion processes with disorder is investigated theoretically by computational and analytical methods. It is argued that the general phase diagram consists of three non-equilibrium phases that are determined by the dynamic behavior at the entrance, at the exit and at the slowest defect bond in the bulk

We propose a new distance metric for DNA sequences, which can be defined on any evolutionary Markov model with infinitesimal generator matrix Q. That is the new metric can be defined under existing models such as Jukes-Cantor model, Kimura-2-parameter model, F84 model, GTR model etc. Since our metric does not depend on the form of the generator matrix Q, it

Electrically small metamaterial-based antennas are discussed from the industrial point of view using mobile phones as the application example. It appears, that despite the interesting theoretical findings, the commercial acceptability of these antennas is low. Some of the issues possibly leading to this situation are addressed. Discussion topics range from c

The $pp\to p n π^+$ reaction is a channel with the largest total cross section for pp collision in COSY/CSR energy region. In this work, we investigate individual contributions from various $N^*$ and $Δ^{*}$ resonances with mass up to about 2 GeV for the $pp\to p n π^+$ reaction. We extend a resonance model, which can reproduce the observed total cross secti
