In this paper we develop a theory called $σ$-Set Theory, in which we present an axiom system developed from the study of Set Theories of Zermelo-Fraenkel, Neumann-Bernays-Godel and Morse-Kelley. In $σ$-Set Theory, we present the proper existence of objects called $σ$-antielement, $σ$-antiset, natural numbers, antinatural numbers and generated $σ$-set by two

We report on a search of relations valid at order $p^6$ in Chiral Perturbation Theory. We have found relations between $ππ$, $πK$ scattering, $K_{\ell4}$ decays, masses and decay constants and scalar and vector form factors. In this paper we give the relations and a first numerical check of them.

We present a general route to reduce inhomogeneous broadening in nanodevices due to 1/f noise. We apply this method to a universal two-qubit gate and demonstrate that for selected optimal couplings, a high-efficient gate can be implemented even in the presence of 1/f noise. Entanglement degradation due to interplay of 1/f and quantum noise is quantified via

The effects of nonlinear oscillations in compact stars are attracting considerable current interest. In order to study such phenomena in the framework of fully nonlinear general relativity, highly accurate numerical studies are required. We present a numerical scheme specifically tailored for studies, based on formulating the time evolution in terms of devia

We predict the acceleration of the Local Group generated by the 2MASS Redshift Survey within the framework of LambdaCDM and the halo model of galaxies. We show that as the galaxy fluctuations derived from the halo model have more power on small scales compared with the mass fluctuations, the misalignment angle between the CMB velocity vector and the 2MRS dip

For a smooth quasi-projective scheme $X$ over a field $k$ with an action of a reductive group, we establish a spectral sequence connecting the equivariant and the ordinary higher Chow groups of $X$. For $X$ smooth and projective, we show that this spectral sequence degenerates, leading to an explicit relation between the equivariant and the ordinary higher C

Starting with the Dolgachev surface E(1)_{2,3} we construct an infinite family of distinct exotic copies of the rational surface E(1), each of which admits a handlebody decomposition without 1- and 3- handles, and we draw these handlebodies.

The emission of cold dust grains at long wavelengths will soon be observed by the Planck and Herschel satellites and provide new constraints on the nature of interstellar dust. The microwave anomalous emission, proposed to be due to spinning PAHs, should help to better define these species. Moreover, understanding the fluctuations of the anomalous emission o

The relativistic flux tube model is an effective description of confined quarks and gluons in which the confining interaction is carried by the flux tube, a Nambu-Goto string. We first show that the relativistic flux tube model can be applied to glueballs seen as bound states of transverse constituent gluons. After a comparison of that approach with usual sp

Rank estimation is a classical model order selection problem that arises in a variety of important statistical signal and array processing systems, yet is addressed relatively infrequently in the extant literature. Here we present sample covariance asymptotics stemming from random matrix theory, and bring them to bear on the problem of optimal rank estimatio

This paper concerns instruction sequences that contain probabilistic instructions, i.e. instructions that are themselves probabilistic by nature. We propose several kinds of probabilistic instructions, provide an informal operational meaning for each of them, and discuss related work. On purpose, we refrain from providing an ad hoc formal meaning for the pro

We study large-scale dynamo action due to turbulence in the presence of a linear shear flow. Our treatment is quasilinear and equivalent to the standard `first order smoothing approximation'. However it is non perturbative in the shear strength. We first derive an integro-differential equation for the evolution of the mean magnetic field, by systematic use o

We withdraw our claim that a component in an XMM-Newton satellite light curve of the BL Lacertae object S5 0716 + 714 shows quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of $\sim$30 minutes. Although both our original periodogram and wavelet analyses gave consistent results, the data do not lead to a statistically significant result once red-noise at low frequencies is

We establish a version of the Feynman-Kac formula for the multidimensional stochastic heat equation with a multiplicative fractional Brownian sheet. We use the techniques of Malliavin calculus to prove that the process defined by the Feynman-Kac formula is a weak solution of the stochastic heat equation. From the Feynman-Kac formula, we establish the smoothn

The main purpose of this paper is to provide explicit computations of the fundamental group of several algebras. For this purpose, given a $k$-algebra $A$, we consider the category of all connected gradings of $A$ by a group $G$ and we study the relation between gradings and Galois coverings. This theoretical tool gives information about the fundamental grou

We investigate the exact analytic solutions for the growths of the dark matter and the baryon in sub-horizon scale. The growth of the dark matter $δ_{\DM}$ is related to that of the halos. Thus, the exact solution for the growth of the dark matter is important to obtain the proper properties of dark matter halos. However, the dark energy model dependence of

We propose a model for the pair of electromagnon excitations observed in the class of multiferroic materials {\it R}MnO$_3$ ({\it R} is a rare-earth ion). The model is based on a harmonic cycloid ground state interacting with a zone-edge magnon and its twin excitation separated in momentum space by two times the cycloid wave vector. The pair of electromagnon

Antirelaxation surface coatings allow long spin relaxation times in alkali-metal cells without buffer gas, enabling faster diffusion of the alkali atoms throughout the cell and giving larger signals due to narrower optical linewidths. Effective coatings were previously unavailable for operation at temperatures above 80 C. We demonstrate that octadecyltrichlo

We study thermal corrections to the dispersion relations of massive fundamental particles immersed in weakly coupled non-Abelian plasmas. The cases covered include quarks in the QCD (quark-gluon) plasma, as well as N=2 quarks and scalars in an N=4 Super Yang-Mills plasma. We perform the calculations to leading order in a weak coupling expansion, and consider

We study the entanglement of closed strings degrees of freedom in order to investigate the microscopic structure and statistics of objects as D-branes. By considering the macroscopic pure state (MPS) limit, whenever the entanglement entropy goes to zero (in such a way that the macroscopic properties of the state are preserved), we show that boundary states m

From a Bayesian perspective we estimate the prior distribution on parameters assuming that it is close to some given model distribution. We constrain the prior d

We describe an opto-mechanical system in which the coupling between optical and mechanical degrees of freedom takes the form of a fully quantised third-order parametric interaction. Two physical realisations are proposed: a harmonically trapped atom in a standing wave and the `membrane in the middle' model. The dominant resonant interaction corresponds t

Sodium Laser Guide Stars (LGSs) are elongated sources due to the thickness and the finite distance of the sodium layer. The fluctuations of the sodium layer altitude and atom density profile induce errors on centroid measurements of elongated spots, and generate spurious optical aberrations in closed--loop adaptive optics (AO) systems.

We review some recent results related to the self-assembly of infinite structures in the Tile Assembly Model. These results include impossibility results, as well as novel tile assembly systems in which shapes and patterns that represent various notions of computation self-assemble. Several open questions are also presented and motivated.

In this paper we review some author's results about Weingarten surfaces in Euclidean space $\r^3$ and hyperbolic space $\h^3$. We stress here in the search of examples of linear Weingarten surfaces that satisfy a certain geometric property.

It is known that planar disks and small spherical caps are the only constant mean curvature graphs whose boundary is a round circle. Usually, the proof invokes the Maximum Principle for elliptic equations. This paper presents a new proof of this result motivated by an article due to Reilly. Our proof utilizes a flux formula for surfaces with constant mean cu

The abundance of beryllium in the oldest, most metal-poor stars acts as a probe of early star formation and Galactic chemical evolution. We have analyzed high-resolution, high signal-to-noise Keck/HIRES spectra of 24 stars with [Fe/H] from -2.3 to -3.5 in order to determine the history of Be abundances and explore the possibility of a Be plateau. We have det

A decade ago cosmological simulations of increasingly higher resolution were used to demonstrate that virialized regions of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos are filled with a multitude of dense, gravitationally-bound clumps. These dark matter subhalos are central regions of halos that survived strong gravitational tidal forces and dynamical friction during the h

A process tomography based optimization scheme for open quantum systems is used to determine the performance limits of Josephson charge qubits within current experimental means. The qubit is modeled microscopically as an open quantum system taking into account state leakage, as well as environment-induced dephasing based on experimental noise spectra. Within

The fields are selected to have ultraviolet echelle spectra available, which uncover 195 Lya absorbers and 13 OVI absorbers along the three sightlines.

We show that there is a low metallicity tidal stream that runs along l=143 deg. in the South Galactic Cap, about 34 kpc from the Sun, discovered from SEGUE stellar velocities. Since the most concentrated detections are in the Cetus constellation, and the orbital path is nearly polar, we name it the Cetus Polar Stream (CPS). Although it is spatially coinciden

We consider sets of real numbers in $[0,1)$ with prescribed frequencies of partial quotients in their regular continued fraction expansions. It is shown that the Hausdorff dimensions of these sets, always bounded from below by $1/2$, are given by a modified variational principle.

Its driving mechanism is based on the flashing ratchet effect powered by the random telegraph process in the presence of thermal fluctuations.

When a neuron fires and the resulting action potential travels down its axon toward other neurons' dendrites, the effect on each of those neurons is mediated by the weight of the synapse that separates it from the firing neuron.

We introduce a geometric formalism for studying modular forms of half-integral weight and explore some of its basic properties. Geometric Hecke operators are constructed and some basic spaces of $p$-adic forms are introduced. The $p$-adic theory is greatly expanded in subsequent papers, making that part of this paper largely obsolete.

Universality is one of the most important ideas in computability theory. There are various criteria of simplicity for universal Turing machines. Probably the most popular one is to count the number of states/symbols. This criterion is more complex than it may appear at a first glance.

We consider the restricted problem where M only accepts a finite language. We also consider the variation where the pattern p is required only to match a factor of x. We show that both of these problems are NP-complete. We als

The size-segregation of granular materials, a process colloquially known as the Brazil Nut Effect, has generally been thought to proceed faster the greater the size difference of the particles. We experimentally investigate sheared bidisperse granular materials as a function of the size ratio of the two species, and find that the mixing rate at low confining

In the first part of this contribution we prove the global existence and uniqueness of a trajectory that globally converges to the minimizer of the Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional for a large class of external potentials. Using the method of Sobolev gradients we can provide an explicit construction of this minimizing sequence. In the second part we numeri

We study a smooth crossover transition in the gas of quark-gluon bags. The equation of state at high temperature is that of the quark-gluon plasma. However, the system consists of the bags with finite volumes which are defined by the model parameters of the mass-volume bag spectrum. Possible structures in this {\it cluster} quark-gluon plasma are classified.

Using first principles calculations, we present a magnetostructural effect in the BiFeO3-BiMnO3 nanocheckerboard that is not found in either bulk parent compound or in BiFeO3-BiMnO3 superlattices. We also demonstrate that the atomic-scale checkerboard has a multiferroic ground state with the desired properties of each constitutent material: polar and ferrima

We study the compound multi-input multi-output (MIMO) broadcast channel with confidential messages (BCC), where one transmitter sends a common message to two receivers and two confidential messages respectively to each receiver. The channel state may take one of a finite set of states, and the transmitter knows the state set but does not know the realization

The paper puts into discussion the concept of universality, in particular for structures not of the power of Turing computability. The question arises if for such structures a universal structure of the same kind exists or not. For that the construction of universal Turing machines and those with some constraints are presented in some detail.
