We extend the definitions of upper and lower valuations on partially ordered sets, and consider the metrics they induce, in particular the metrics available (or not) based on the logarithms of such valuations. Motivating applications in computational linguistics and computational biology are indicated.

As long ago as 1962 Nitsche conjectured that a harmonic homeomorphism $h \colon A(r,R) \to A(r_*, R_*)$ between planar annuli exists if and only if $\frac{R_*}{r_*} \ge {1/2} (\frac{R}{r} + \frac{r}{R})$. We prove this conjecture when the domain annulus is not too wide; explicitly, when $\log \frac{R}{r} \le {3/2}$. For general $A(r,R)$ the conjecture is pro

Topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model predicts the existence of the top-pions and the CP-even top-Higgs with large flavor-changing couplings to the top quark, which at tree-level can mediate the top quark three-body decay t -> cb\bar{b}. In this work we study this decay, showing the dependence of the decay rate on the relevant TC2 parameters and comparin

Using a Jacobi-Trudi-type identity, we show that the scalar product of a general state and a Bethe eigenstate in a finite-length XXZ spin-1/2 chain is (a restriction of) a KP tau function. This leads to a correspondence between the eigenstates and points on Sato's Grassmannian. Each of these points is a function of the rapidities of the corresponding eig

We calculate the equation of state of neutron matter at zero temperature by means of the auxiliary field diffusion Monte Carlo method (AFDMC) combined with a fixed-phase approximation. The calculation of the energy is carried out by simulating up to 114 neutrons in a periodic box. Special attention was made to reduce finite size effects at the energy evaluat

The simplest partition function, associated with homogeneous symmetric forms S of degree r in n variables, is integral discriminant J_{n|r}(S) = \int e^{-S(x_1 ... x_n)} dx_1 ... dx_n. Actually, S-dependence remains the same if e^{-S} in the integrand is substituted by arbitrary function f(S), i.e. integral discriminant is a characteristic of the form S itse

We report a comprehensive small angle neutron scattering study (SANS) of the magnetic phase diagram of the doped semiconductor Fe_{1-x}Co_{x}Si for x=0.2 and 0.25. For magnetic field parallel to the neutron beam we observe a six-fold intensity pattern under field-cooling, which identifies the A-phase of Fe_{1-x}Co_{x}Si as a skyrmion lattice. The regime of t

CoSe$_2$O$_5$ has a crystal structure consisting of zig-zag chains of edge shared CoO$_6$ octahedra running along the c axis, with the chains separated by Se$_2$O$_5^{2-}$ units. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a transition at 8.5 K to an ordered state. We investigate here the nature of this magnetic ordering using magnetization and specific he

It is well known that every compact simple group manifold G admits a bi-invariant Einstein metric, invariant under G_L\times G_R. Less well known is that every compact simple group manifold except SO(3) and SU(2) admits at least one more homogeneous Einstein metric, invariant still under G_L but with some, or all, of the right-acting symmetry broken.

We employ two different statistical tests to examine whether, in the framework of the Constrained MSSM, the experimentally determined values of BR(b->s gamma) and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, (g-2), are consistent with each other. Our tests are designed to compare the theoretical predictions of the CMSSM in data space with the actual measuremen

We present an approach to the normal state of cuprate superconductors which is based on a minimal cluster extension of dynamical mean-field theory. Our approach is based on an effective two-impurity model embedded in a self-consistent bath. The two degrees of freedom of this effective model can be associated to the nodal and antinodal regions of momentum spa

We quantize a real massive Klein-Gordon field in curved spacetimes within the general boundary formulation. The vacuum wave function is given by a Gaussian in the Schrödinger representation and we study the general structure of the operator appearing in the Gaussian. We show that it obeys a Riccati equation and we provide the general solution.

Preconditioned eigenvalue solvers (eigensolvers) are gaining popularity, but their convergence theory remains sparse and complex. We consider the simplest preconditioned eigensolver--the gradient iterative method with a fixed step size--for symmetric generalized eigenvalue problems, where we use the gradient of the Rayleigh quotient as an optimization direct

We investigate the phenomenology of the Nearly Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (nMSSM) in the deflected anomaly mediation scenario. We also include the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term of the standard model gauge group. In the nMSSM, the mu term is replaced by the vacuum expectation value of the gauge singlet; therefore, there is no difficulty in generating the

In this paper we obtain the linear Weyl gravity in de Sitter background. Its linear form in five-dimensional ambient space notation has also been obtained. From the group theoretical point of view, we show that this conformal invariant fourth order theory in its linear form does not transform as an unitary irreducible representation of the de Sitter group.

We describe a new exact relation for large $N_c$ QCD for the long-distance behavior of baryon form factors in the chiral limit. This model-independent relation is used to test the consistency of the structure of several baryon models. All 4D semiclassical chiral soliton models satisfy the relation, as does the Pomarol-Wulzer holographic model of baryons as 5

Many competing linear instabilities are likely to occur in astrophysical settings, and it is important to assess which one grows faster for a given situation.

In this paper we show that the supergravity equations describing both cosmic billiards and a large class of black-holes are, generically, both Liouville integrable as a consequence of the same universal mechanism. This latter is provided by the Liouville integrable Poissonian structure existing on the dual Borel algebra B_N of the simple Lie algebra A_{N-1}.

The similar process was discussed in arXiv:hep-ph/9905347v2. The TC2 model, as we discussed in the introduction part remedies some shortcomings and loophole of the old version. The top-Higgs in

Synthesis of protein molecules in a cell are carried out by ribosomes. A ribosome can be regarded as a molecular motor which utilizes the input chemical energy to move on a messenger RNA (mRNA) track that also serves as a template for the polymerization of the corresponding protein.

This paper explores integrable structures of a generalized melting crystal model that has two $q$-parameters $q_1,q_2$. This model, like the ordinary one with a single $q$-parameter, is formulated as a model of random plane partitions (or, equivalently, random 3D Young diagrams). The Boltzmann weight contains an infinite number of external potentials that de

In both cases the spectra can be modeled with 3 or 4 thermal components, which appear be discrete in te

We discuss a Hilbert space method that allows to prove analytical well-posedness of a class of linear strongly damped wave equations. The main technical tool is a perturbation lemma for sesquilinear forms, which seems to be new. In most common linear cases we can furthermore apply a recent result due to Crouzeix--Haase, thus extending several known results a

This paper introduces a method to generate hierarchically modular networks with prescribed node degree list by link switching. Unlike many existing network generating models, our method does not use link probabilities to achieve modularity. Instead, it utilizes a user-specified topology to determine relatedness between pairs of nodes in terms of edge distanc

We report the precise pressure dependence of FeSe from a resistivity measurement up to 4.15 GPa. Superconducting transition temperature (T_c) increases sensitively under pressure, but shows a plateau between 0.5-1.5 GPa. The maximum T_c, which is determined by zero resistance, is 21 K at approximately 3.5 GPa. The onset value reaches ~37 K at 4.15 GPa. We al

All objects in 4D spacetime may in principle travel on null paths in a 5D mani-fold. We use this, together with a change in the extra coordinate and the signature of the metric, to construct a simple model of a classical universe and a quantized particle. There are notable implications for the Weak Equivalence Principle and the cosmological constant, and for

We study the convergence of the free point processes associated with free extreme values to a free Poisson random measure (Voiculescu (1998), Barndorff-Nielsen and Thorbjornsen (2005)). We relate this convergence to the free extremal laws introduced in Ben Arous and V

The mobility decrease is four times larger than for a simil

Bohmian mechanics is a theory about point particles moving along trajectories. It has the property that in a world governed by Bohmian mechanics, observers see the same statistics for experimental results as predicted by quantum mechanics. Bohmian mechanics thus provides an explanation of quantum mechanics. Moreover, the Bohmian trajectories are defined in a

We develop some ideas discussed by E. Schucking [arXiv:0803.4128] concerning the geometry of the gravitational field. First, we address the concept according to which the gravitational acceleration is a manifestation of the spacetime torsion, not of the curvature tensor. It is possible to show that there are situations in which the geodesic acceleration of a

In this paper some applications of the methods and results of its first part and of the results of M. Stone, H. de Vries, P. Roeper are given. In particular: some generalizations of the Stone Duality Theorem are obtained; a completion theorem for local contact Boolean algebras is proved; a direct proof of the Ponomarev&#39;s solution of Birkhoff&#39;s Proble

We use a superspin Hamiltonian defined on an infinite-dimensional Fock space with positive definite scalar product to study localization and delocalization of noninteracting spinless quasiparticles in quasi-one-dimensional quantum wires perturbed by weak quenched disorder. Past works using this approach have considered a single chain. Here, we extend the for

A duality theorem for the category of locally compact Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps which generalizes the well-known Duality Theorem of de Vries is proved.

We show that heterogeneous degree distributions in observed scale-free topologies of complex networks can emerge as a consequence of the exponential expansion of hidden hyperbolic space. Fermi-Dirac statistics provides a physical interpretation of hyperbolic distances as energies of links. The hidden space curvature affects the heterogeneity of the degree di

This work establishes two regularity criteria for the 3D incompressible MHD equations. The first one is in terms of the derivative of the velocity field in one-direction while the second one requires suitable boundedness of the derivative of the pressure in one-direction.

We derive the explicit formula for the inverse of zeta matrix for any graded posets with the finite set of minimal elements . The combinatorial interpretation of this result is given. For that to do special number theoretic code triangles for graded posets are proposed and apart from the present author combinatorial interpretation of $F-nomial$ coefficients

Arrow&#39;s Impossibility Theorem states that any constitution which satisfies Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (IIA) and Unanimity and is not a Dictator has to be non-transitive. In this paper we study quantitative versions of Arrow theorem. Consider $n$ voters who vote independently at random, each following the uniform distribution over the 6 ranki

The cross section for inclusive charm production by a low-energy antiproton beam is calculated using the parton model and next-to-leading order perturbative QCD. For an antiproton beam with a momentum of 15 GeV, the charm cross section at next-to-leading order in the QCD coupling constant changes by more than an order of magnitude as the charm quark mass is
