The purpose of this work is to provide details about the construction of the Chern character for categorical sheaves mentioned in our previous work "Chern character, loop spaces and derived algebraic geometry". For this, we introduce and study the notion of rigid symmetric monoidal \infty-category. We show how trace maps can be constructed in this hi

We present a simple framework to compute hyperbolic Voronoi diagrams of finite point sets as affine diagrams. We prove that bisectors in Klein's non-conformal disk model are hyperplanes that can be interpreted as power bisectors of Euclidean balls. Therefore our method simply consists in computing an equivalent clipped power diagram followed by a mapping tra

Both transport $τ_{tr}$ and elastic scattering times $τ_{e}$ are experimentally determined from the carrier density dependence of the magnetoconductance of monolayer and bilayer graphene. Both times and their dependences in carrier density are found to be very different in the monolayer and the bilayer. However their ratio $τ_{tr}/τ_{e} $is found to be of th

We study the N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons quiver gauge theory recently introduced in arXiv:0809.3237 to describe M2-branes on a cone over the well-known Sasaki-Einstein manifold Q^{1,1,1}. For Chern-Simons levels (k,k,-k,-k) we argue that this theory is dual to AdS_4 x Q^{1,1,1}/Z_k. We derive the Z_k orbifold action and show that it preserves geometrical

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a Hom-finite triangulated 2-Calabi-Yau category with a cluster tilting object. Under some constructibility assumptions on $\mathcal{C}$ which are satisfied for instance by cluster categories, by generalized cluster categories and by stable categories of modules over a preprojective algebra, we prove a multiplication formula for the clust

When a gravitational wave at microwave frequencies impinges on a thin, type I superconducting film, the radical delocalization of the film's negatively charged Cooper pairs, which is due to the Uncertainty Principle, causes them to undergo non-geodesic motion relative to the geodesic motion of the decohered, positively charged ions in the film's latt

Dynamic spectrum sharing is a promising technology to improve spectrum utilization in the future wireless networks. The flexible spectrum management provides new opportunities for licensed primary user and unlicensed secondary users to reallocate the spectrum resource efficiently. In this paper, we present an oligopoly pricing framework for dynamic spectrum

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in millimeter-scale diamond samples were produced by irradiation and subsequent annealing under varied conditions. The optical and spin relaxation properties of these samples were characterized using confocal microscopy, visible and infrared absorption, and optically detected magnetic resonance. The sample with the highest NV- c

Astrophysical accretion is arguably the most prevalent physical process in the Universe; it occurs during the birth and death of individual stars and plays a pivotal role in the evolution of entire galaxies. Accretion onto a black hole, in particular, is also the most efficient mechanism known in nature, converting up to 40% of accreting rest mass energy int

The nature of the explicit dependence on the particle number N and on the spin number N_s of the Lieb definition for the energy density functional is examined both in spin-free and in spin-polarized density functional theory. First, it is pointed out that for ground states, the nonuniqueness of the external magnetic field B(r) corresponding to a given pair o

Gorenstein isolated quotient singularities of odd prime dimension are cyclic. In the case where the dimension is bigger than 1 and is not an odd prime number, then there exist Gorenstein isolated non-cyclic quotient singularities.

In this note we derive the slow-roll and rapid-roll conditions for the minimally and non-minimally coupled space-like vector fields. The function $f(B^{2})$ represents the non-minimal coupling effect between vector fields and gravity, the $f=0$ case is the minimal coupling case. For a clear comparison with scalar field, we define a new function $F=\pm B^{2}/

We proposed a new observable based on two particle azimuth correlation to study the away-side medium response in mid-central Au+Au collisions. We argue that a left/right asymmetry may appear at the away-side by selecting triggers separately in the left and right side of the reaction plane. A simple model estimation suggests that the magnitude of such asymmet

In this paper, we consider a scenario where a source node wishes to broadcast two confidential messages for two respective receivers via a Gaussian MIMO broadcast channel. A wire-tapper also receives the transmitted signal via another MIMO channel. First we assumed that the channels are degraded and the wire-tapper has the worst channel. We establish the cap

The measurement of electrons from semi-leptonic decay of heavy flavor in $p+p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV has been carried out with the PHENIX detector in the RHIC Year-2005 and Year-2006 run. This measurement provides a good test of the perturbative QCD and the important base line to study the medium created in Au+Au collisions at RHIC. The behavior o

We relate the annihilators of graded components of the canonical module of a graded Cohen-Macaulay ring to colon ideals of powers of the homogeneous maximal ideal. In particular, we connect them to the core of the maximal ideal. An application of our results characterizes Cayley-Bacharach sets of points in terms of the structure of the core of the maximal id

The origin of the Martian moons Deimos and Phobos is controversial. One hypothesis for their origin is that they are captured asteroids, but the mechanism requires an extremely dense martian atmosphere, and the mechanism by which an asteroid in solar orbit could shed sufficient orbital energy to be captured into Mars orbit has not been well elucidated. Since

The cosmological evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is important for understanding the mechanism of accretion onto supermassive black holes, and the related evolution of the host galaxy. In this work, we include objects with very low Eddington ratio (10^{-3} - 10^{-2}) in an evolution scenario, and compare the results with the observed local distribut

One puzzling observed property of coronal loops is that they are of roughly constant thickness along their length. Various studies have found no consistent pattern of width variation along the length of loops observed by TRACE and SOHO. This is at odds with expectations of magnetic flux tube expansion properties, which suggests that loops are widest at their

We present high field magneto-transport data from a range of 30nm wide InSb/InAlSb quantum wells. The low temperature carrier mobility of the samples studied ranged from 18.4 to 39.5 m2V-1s-1 with carrier densities between 1.5x1015 and 3.28x1015 m-2. Room temperature mobilities are reported in excess of 6 m2V-1s-1. It is found that the Landau level broadenin

One of the most exciting discoveries in strongly correlated systems has been the existence of a superconducting dome on heavy fermions close to the quantum critical point where antiferromagnetic order disappears. It is hard even for the most skeptical not to admit that the excitations which bind the electrons in the Cooper pairs have a magnetic origin. As a

This is a survey on eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds (mainly compact and without boundary). We discuss both local results obtained by analyzing eigenfunctions on small balls, and global results obtained by wave equation methods. Among the main topics are nodal sets, quantum limits, and $L^p$ norms of global eigenfunctions.

We use a discrete multiscale analysis to study the asymptotic integrability of differential-difference equations. In particular, we show that multiscale perturbation techniques provide an analytic tool to derive necessary integrability conditions for two well-known discretizations of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation.

In a recent Letter [PRL 101, 074101 (2008)], Kapulkin and Pattanayak presented evidence that a quantum Duffing oscillator, sufficiently damped so that it is not classically chaotic, becomes chaotic in the transition region between quantum and classical motion. If true, this would be a striking result. However, Kapulkin and Pattanayak did not calculate the Ly

They are identified by their visual morphology as provided by Galaxy Zoo for SDSS DR6 and their u-r colour.

We consider the excursions, i.e. the intervals between consecutive zeros, of stochastic processes that arise in a variety of nonequilibrium systems and study the temporal growth of the longest one l_{\max}(t) up to time t. For smooth processes, we find a universal linear growth < l_{\max}(t) > \simeq Q_{\infty} t with a model dependent amplitude Q_\infty. In

Angle-resolved photoemission measurements on the electron-doped cuprate Sm(1.85)Ce(0.15)CuO(4) evidence anisotropic dressing of charge-carriers due to many-body interactions. Most significantly, the scattering rate along the zone boundary saturates for binding energies larger than ~200 meV, while along the diagonal direction it increases nearly linearly with

We examine dark energy models in which a quintessence or a phantom field, $\phi$, rolls near the vicinity of a local minimum or maximum, respectively, of its potential $V(\phi)$. Under the approximation that $(1/V)(dV/d\phi) \ll 1$, [although $(1/V)(d^2 V/d\phi^2)$ can be large], we derive a general expression for the equation of state parameter $w$ as a fun

We point out that the light radion phi in a recently proposed Warped Top-Condensation Model, can provide distinct signatures in b -> s phi, where the on-shell phi can decay with displaced vertices. We find that some of the parameter space of these models is constrained by B-meson and astrophysical data. Future B-decay measurements can lead to the discovery o

In this paper we address the question whether star formation is driven by local processes or the large scale environment. To do so, we investigate star formation in collisional debris where the gravitational potential well and velocity gradients are shallower and compare our results with previous work on star formation in non-interacting spiral and dwarf gal

We consider pairs of a non-empty compact connected and locally connected Hausdorff space and a real-valued continuous function. Our aim is to measure the difference between this kind of the pairs.

We report the observation at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) of suppression of back-to-back correlations in the direct photon+jet channel in Au+Au relative to p+p collisions. Two-particle correlations of direct photon triggers with associated hadrons are obtained by statistical subtraction of the decay photon-hadron background. The initial momentu

The &#34;improved dynamics&#34; of loop quantum cosmology is extended to include anisotropies of the Bianchi I model. As in the isotropic case, a massless scalar field serves as a relational time parameter. However, the extension is non-trivial because one has to face several conceptual subtleties as well as technical difficulties. These include: a better un

Dark matter candidates comprising several sub-states separated by a small mass gap, and coupled to the Standard Model by (sub-)GeV force carriers, can exhibit non-trivial scattering interactions in direct detection experiments.

In 1931 Bohnenblust and Hille proved that for each m-homogeneous polynomial $\sum_{|α| = m} a_αz^α$ on $\C^n$ the $\ell^{\frac{2m}{m+1}}$-norm of its coefficients is bounded from above by a constant $C_m$ (depending only on the degree $m$) times the sup norm of the polynomial on the polydisc $\mathbb{D}^n$. We prove that this inequality is hypercontractive i

Efficient particle acceleration can modify the structure of supernova remnants. In this context we present the results of the combined analysis of the XMM-Newton EPIC archive observations of SN 1006.

Data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory are used to establish an upper limit on the diffuse flux of tau neutrinos in the cosmic radiation.

The $τ$ lepton may emerge from the Earth and decay in the atmosphere to produce a nearly

In this paper we address the consumption of energy by astronomers while performing their professional duties. Although we find that astronomy uses a negligible fraction of the US energy budget, the rate at which energy is consumed by an average astronomer is similar to that of a typical high-flying businessperson. We review some of the ways in which astronom

Let M be a connected, symplectic 4-manifold. A semitoric integrable system on M essentially consists of a pair of independent, real-valued, smooth functions J and H on the manifold M, for which J generates a Hamiltonian circle action under which H is invariant.

Mutual uncrossability of polymers generates topological constraints on their conformations and dynamics, which are generally described using the tube model. We imaged confinement tubes for individual polymers within a F-actin solution by sampling over many successive micrographs of fluorescently labeled probe filaments.

Phase fitting has been extensively used during the last years to improve the behaviour of numerical integrators on oscillatory problems. In this work, the benefits of the phase fitting technique are embedded in discrete Lagrangian integrators. The results show improved accuracy and total energy behaviour in Hamiltonian systems.

We consider the possibility that a mass of ~10^{-5}-10^{-3} Msun flows back from the dense shell of planetary nebulae and is accreted by the central star during the planetary nebula phase. This backflowing mass is expected to have a significant specific angular momentum even in (rare) spherical planetary nebulae, such that a transient accretion disk might be

We consider the case of bulk photons in a Lorentz violating brane background, with an asymmetric warping between space and time warp factors.

The concept of nonlinear modes is applied in order to analyze the behavior of a model of woodwind reed instruments.

We present observations of L1155 and L1148 in the Cepheus molecular cloud, taken using the FIS instrument on the Akari satellite. We compare these data to submillimetre data taken using the SCUBA camera on the JCMT, and far-infrared data taken with the ISOPHOT camera on board the ISO satellite. All of the data show a relation between the position of the peak

In the large-bias regime, high-order cumulants of current a

We study the manifestations of universal four-body physics in ultracold dimer-dimer collisions. We show that resonant features associated with three-body Efimov physics and dimer-dimer scattering lengths are universally related. The emergence of universal four-boson states allows for the tunability of the dimer-dimer interaction, thus enabling the future stu

A number of approaches to solving the well-known transfer pricing problem are known. However, few models satisfactorily resolve the core problem of allowing both the source and receiving divisions to earn a profit on transfers during a period in such a way that sub-optimal output levels are avoided.

We report time-resolved measurements of Landau-Zener tunneling of Bose-Einstein condensates in accelerated optical lattices, clearly resolving the step-like time dependence of the band populations. Using different experimental protocols we were able to measure the tunneling probability both in the adiabatic and in the diabatic bases of the system. We also ex

We relate Fubini&#39;s theorem for Euler characteristics to Riemann-Hurwtiz formulae, and reprove a classical result of Iversen.

Recently Han obtained a general formula for the weight function corresponding to the expansion of a generating function in terms of hook lengths of binary trees. In this paper, we present formulas for k-ary trees, plane trees, plane forests, labeled trees and forests. We also find appropriate generating functions which lead to unifications of the hook length

We show that a remarkable compatibility exists between the results of a potential model with constituent quarks and the 1/Nc expansion mass formula for strange and nonstrange baryon resonances. Such compatibility brings support to the basic assumptions of relativistic quark models and sheds light on the physical content of the model-independent large Nc mass

The recently discovered giant magnetic anisotropy of single magnetic Co atoms raises the hope of magnetic storage in small clusters.

We develop a theory of tunneling spectroscopy of interacting electrons in a non-equilibrium quantum wire coupled to reservoirs. The problem is modelled as an out-of-equilibrium Luttinger liquid with spatially dependent interaction.

In this paper we address questions of continuity and atomicity of conformal ending measures for arbitrary non-elementary Kleinian groups.

We prove that if $g\geq 2$ then the set of all Abelian differentials $(M,ω)$ for which the vertical flow is mildly mixing is dense in every stratum of the moduli space $\mathcal{H}_g$. The proof is based on a sufficient condition for special flows over irrational rotations and under piecewise constant roof functions to be mildly mixing.

In the present paper we deal with fully nonlinear two-dimensional smooth control systems with scalar input $\dot{q} = \bs{f}(q,u)$, $q \in M$, $u \in U$, where $M$ and $U$ are differentiable smooth manifolds of respective dimensions two and one. For such systems, we provide two microlocal normal forms, i.e., local in the state-input space, using the fundamen

We consider an Abelian Gauge Theory in R4 equipped with the Minkowski metric. This theory leads to a system of equations, the Klein-Gordon- Maxwell equations, which provide models for the interaction between the electromagnetic field and matter.

Charge redistribution at high-Tc superconductor interfaces and grain boundaries on the one hand is problematic for technological application. On the other hand, it gives rise to a great perspective for tailoring the local electronic states.

The reason for the horizontal turn of the Tunguska-1908 bolide trajectory remains difficult to understand.

The most general form of Hamiltonian that preserves fermionic coherent states stable in time is found in the form of nonstationary fermion oscillator.

While, as usual, the solution is charged under an electric two-form and an electric six-form gauge field, it also contains a non-susy chargeless (non-BPS) D0-brane. The S-dual of this solution is the non-susy F/NS5 solution. We show how these solutions nicel

The well-known Tunguska-1908 phenomenon (TP) problems (the fast transfer of the kinetic energy of the meteoroid W~10-50 Mt TNT to air, with its heating to T>10^4 K at an altitude of 5-10 km, the final turn of the smoothly sloping, ~0-20^o to horizon, trajectory of the body through ~10^o to the West, the pattern and area of the tree-fall and trees&#39; scorch

We present the Suzaku results of eta Carinae in the 5--50 keV range conducted twice around the apastron in 2005 August for 50 ks and in 2006 February for 20 ks. The X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) produced hard (5--12 keV) band spectra, resolving K shell lines from highly ionized Fe and Ni. The Hard X-ray Detector yielded a significant detection in the supe

We derive the current response of noncentrosymmetric metal in normal and in superconducting states to the electromagnetic field with finite frequency and wave vector. The conductivity tensor is found contains the linear in wave vector off diagonal part generating natural optical activity. The Kerr rotation of polarization of light reflected from the metal su

It has long been assumed that the planet Jupiter acts as a giant shield, significantly lowering the impact rate of minor bodies upon the Earth, and thus enabling the development and evolution of life in a collisional environment which is not overly hostile. However, in the past, little work has been carried out to examine the validity of this idea. In the se

Interaction between two interpenetrating spherically symmetric charge distributions has been calculated. Limited range terms appear in addition to the Coulomb potential. Its strength increases and range decreases with reducing sizes of the interacting particles. Between two hydrogen atoms it yields the Morse Potential. Soft core potentials are obtained betwe

In this paper we look for standing waves for nonlinear Schrödinger equations $$ i\frac{\partial ψ}{\partial t}+Δψ- g(|y|) ψ-W^{\prime}(| ψ|)\fracψ{| ψ|}=0 $$ with cylindrically symmetric potentials $g$ vanishing at infinity and non-increasing, and a $C^1$ nonlinear term satisfying weak assumptions. In particular we show the existence of standing waves with n

If frequent measurements ascertain whether a quantum system is still in its initial state, transitions to other states are hindered and the quantum Zeno effect takes place. However, in its broader formulation, the quantum Zeno effect does not necessarily freeze everything. On the contrary, for frequent projections onto a multidimensional subspace, the system

Highly frustrated lattices yield a completely flat lowest single-electron band. Remarkably, exact many-body ground states can be constructed for the repulsive Hubbard model and the t-J model by filling this flat band with localized electron states. This construction leads to a macroscopic ground-state degeneracy. We discuss how to compute these ground-state

For a positively graded artin algebra $A=\oplus_{n\geq 0}A_n$ we introduce its Beilinson algebra $\mathrm{b}(A)$. We prove that if $A$ is well-graded self-injective, then the category of graded $A$-modules is equivalent to the category of graded modules over the trivial extension algebra $T(\mathrm{b}(A))$. Consequently, there is a full exact embedding from

The high kinetic energy outflowing in the jets of microquasars is delivered to the surrounding interstellar medium. This energy input can cause the formation of bow shocks and cocoons that may be detectable from radio to gamma-ray energies. Evidences or hints of emission from jet/medium interactions have been reported for some sources, but little has been do

We say a completely positive contractive map between two C*-algebras has order zero, if it sends orthogonal elements to orthogonal elements. We prove a structure theorem for such maps. As a consequence, order zero maps are in one-to-one correspondence with *-homomorphisms from the cone over the domain into the target algebra. Moreover, we conclude that tenso
