    The Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation possesses a four-parameter family of one-dimensional periodic traveling waves. We study the spectral stability of the waves with small amplitude with respect to two-dimensional perturbations which are either periodic in the direction of propagation, with the same period as the one-dimensional traveling wave, or non-pe

    In order to assess the physical mechanisms at stake when giant gas bubbles burst at the top of a magma conduit, laboratory experiments have been performed. An overpressurized gas cavity is initially closed by a thin liquid film, which suddenly bursts. The acoustic signal produced by the bursting is investigated. The key result is that the amplitude and energ

    The most expensive source of errors and the more difficult to detect in a formal development is the error during specification. Hence, the first step in a formal development usually consists in exhibiting the set of all behaviors of the specification, for instance with an automaton. Starting from this observation, many researches are about the generation of

    We study the stability in finite times of the trajectories of interacting particles. Our aim is to show that in average and uniformly in the number of particles, two trajectories whose initial positions in phase space are close, remain close enough at later times. For potential less singular than the classical electrostatic kernel, we are able to prove such

  5. Marc Arnaudon, Ana Bela Cruzeiro

    We prove a variational principle for stochastic Lagrangian Navier-Stokes trajectories on manifolds. We study the behaviour of such trajectories concerning stability as well as rotation between particles; the two-dimensional torus case is described in detail.

  6. Giovanni Peccati, Cengbo Zheng

    We study multi-dimensional normal approximations on the Poisson space by means of Malliavin calculus, Stein's method and probabilistic interpolations. Our results yield new multi-dimensional central limit theorems for multiple integrals with respect to Poisson measures -- thus significantly extending previous works by Peccati, Solé, Taqqu and Utzet. Seve

    Basic derivative formulas are presented for hypoelliptic heat semigroups and harmonic functions extending earlier work in the elliptic case. Emphasis is placed on developing integration by parts formulas at the level of local martingales. Combined with the optional sampling theorem, this turns out to be an efficient way of dealing with boundary conditions, a

    We investigate theoretically the coupling between a cavity resonator and the cyclotron transition of a two dimensional electron gas under an applied perpendicular magnetic field. We derive and diagonalize an effective quantum Hamiltonian describing the magnetopolariton excitations of the two dimensional electron gas for the case of integer filling factors. T

  9. Dominique Lecomte

    We study the Baire class one countable colorings, i.e., the countable partitions into $F_σ$ sets. Such a partition gives a covering of the diagonal into countably many $F_σ$ squares. This leads to the study of countable unions of $F_σ$ rectangles. We give a Hurewicz-like dichotomy for such countable unions.

  10. A. Codello

    We discuss the Polyakov effective action for a minimally coupled scalar field on a two dimensional curved space by considering a non-local covariant truncation of the effective average action. We derive the flow equation for the form factor in $\int\sqrt{g}R c_{k}(Δ)R$, and we show how the standard result is obtained when we integrate the flow from the ultra

    The Dirichlet series $L_m(s)$ are of fundamental importance in number theory. Shanks defined the generalized Euler and class numbers in connection with these Dirichlet series, denoted by $\{s_{m,n}\}_{n\geq 0}$. We obtain a formula for the exponential generating function $s_m(x)$ of $s_{m,n}$, where m is an arbitrary positive integer. In particular, for m>1,

    We explore the emissions by accelerated electrons in shocked shells driven by jets in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Focusing on powerful sources which host luminous quasars, the synchrotron radiation and inverse Compton (IC) scattering of various photons that are mainly produced in the core are considered as radiation processes. We show that the radiative o

    Using first principles calculations, we analyze structural and magnetic trends as a function of charge doping and pressure in BaFe$_2$As$_2$, and compare to experimentally established facts. We find that density functional theory, while accurately reproducing the structural and magnetic ordering at ambient pressure, fails to reproduce some structural trends

    We prove an inequality for polynomials applied in a symmetric way to non-commuting operators.

    Distributed heterogeneous data sources need to be queried uniformly using global schema. Query on global schema is reformulated so that it can be executed on local data sources. Constraints in global schema and mappings are used for source selection, query optimization,and querying partitioned and replicated data sources. The provided system is all XML-based

    Topological or deconfined phases of matter exhibit emergent gauge fields and quasiparticles that carry a corresponding gauge charge. In systems with an intrinsic conserved U(1) charge, such as all electronic systems where the Coulombic charge plays this role, these quasiparticles are also characterized by their intrinsic charge. We show that one can take adv

    In many applications expectation values are calculated by partitioning a single experimental time series into an ensemble of data segments of equal length. Such single trajectory ensemble (STE) is a counterpart to a multiple trajectory ensemble (MTE) used whenever independent measurements or realizations of a stochastic process are available. The equivalence

    A Regge-inspired model is used to discuss the hard exclusive two-body hadronic reactions (pbar p ----> pi+ pi-, pi0 pi0, K+ K-, Kbar0 K0) for the FAIR facility project at GSI with the Panda detector. The comparison between the differential cross sections predictions and the available data is shown to determine the values of the few parameters of the model.

    We give a short proof that any non-zero Euclidean space has a compact subset of Hausdorff dimension one that contains a differentiability point of every real-valued Lipschitz function defined on the space.

    The tempered fundamental group of a p-adic analytic variety classifies étale coverings that become topological coverings (for the Berkovich topology) after finite étale base change. I study what can be recovered from the tempered fundamental group. In particular, I prove that, for a Mumford curve, one can recover the metric of the graph of the stable reducti

    In [Computer Aided Geometric Design 27 (2010), 212-231] the authors present an algorithm to parametrize approximately $ε$-rational curves, and they show in 2 examples that the Hausdorff distance, w.r.t. to the Euclidean distance, between the input and output curves is small. In this paper, we analyze this distance for a whole family of curves randomly genera

    A space-filling, low blockage fractal grid is used as a novel turbulence generator in a premixed turbulent combustion experiment. In contrast to the power law decay of a standard turbulence grid, the downstream turbulence intensity of the fractal grid increases until it reaches a peak at some distance from the grid before it finally decays. The effective mes

    We have searched the hybrid BALQSO catalogue of Scaringi et al. derived from DR5 of the SDSS in order to compile the largest sample of objects displaying spectral signatures which may be indicative of radiative line driving. The feature in question is the "ghost of Ly-alpha", a line-locking feature previously identified in the broad C IV and Si IV ab

    We consider development of the models of the source of the Kerr-Newman (KN) solution and new aspects related with the obtained recently field model based on a domain wall bubble with superconducting interior, arXiv:1003.2928[hep-th]. The internal Higgs field regularizes the KN solution, expelling electromagnetic field from interior to the boundary of bubble.

    The shot-noise limited sensitivity of Michelson-type laser interferometers with Fabry-Perot arm cavities can be increased by the so-called power-recycling technique. In such a scheme the power-recycling cavity is optically coupled with the interferometer's arm cavities. A problem arises because the central coupling mirror transmits a rather high laser po

    We report an inelastic-neutron-scattering and muon-spin-relaxation study of the effect of 2% spinless (Zn) impurities on the magnetic order and dynamics of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.6}$, an underdoped high-temperature superconductor that exhibits a prominent spin-pseudogap in its normal state. Zn substitution induces static magnetic order at low temperatures and tr

    This is a review on graphene quantum dots and their use as a host for spin qubits. We discuss the advantages but also the challenges to use graphene quantum dots for spin qubits as compared to the more standard materials like GaAs. We start with an overview of this young and fascinating field and will then discuss gate-tunable quantum dots in detail. We calc

    We give an introduction to the valuation theoretical phenomenon of "defect", also known as "ramification deficiency". We describe the role it plays in deep open problems in positive characteristic: local uniformization (the local form of resolution of singularities), the model theory of valued fields, the structure theory of valued function f

    This book encompasses both traditional and modern methods treating partial differential equation (PDE) of first order and second order. There is a balance in making a selfcontained mathematical text and introducing new subjects. The Lie algebras of vector fields and their algebraic-geometric representations are involved in solving overdetermined of PDE and g

    Steganography is an emerging area which is used for secured data transmission over any public media.Steganography is a process that involves hiding a message in an appropriate carrier like image or audio. It is of Greek origin and means "covered or hidden writing". The carrier can be sent to a receiver without any one except the authenticated receive

    Recently, Guo and Xia gave sufficient conditions for an STBC to achieve full diversity when a PIC (Partial Interference Cancellation) or a PIC-SIC (PIC with Successive Interference Cancellation) decoder is used at the receiver. In this paper, we give alternative conditions for an STBC to achieve full diversity with PIC and PIC-SIC decoders, which are equival

    We present a simple model for a description of magnetization processes in rare-earth tetraborides. The model is based on the coexistence of two subsystems, and namely, the spin subsystem described by the Ising model and the electronic subsystem described by the Falicov-Kimball model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL). Moreover, both subsystems are coupl

    We investigate particle production from coherent oscillation by using the method based on the Bogolyubov transformation. Especially, we study the case when the amplitude of the oscillation and also the coupling constants with the oscillating field are small in order to avoid the non-perturbative corrections from the broad parametric resonance. We derive the

    Recent theoretical predictions of the lowest very high energy (VHE) luminosity of SN 1006 are only a factor 5 below the previously published H.E.S.S. upper limit, thus motivating further in-depth observations of this source. Deep observations at VHE energies (above 100 GeV) were carried out with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) of Cherenkov Tel

    HH 110 is a rather peculiar Herbig-Haro object in Orion that originates due to the deflection of another jet (HH 270) by a dense molecular clump, instead of being directly ejected from a young stellar object. Here we present new results on the kinematics and physical conditions of HH 110 based on Integral Field Spectroscopy. The 3D spectral data cover the wh

    We present observations of a very massive galaxy at z=1.82 which show that its morphology, size, velocity dispersion and stellar population properties that are fully consistent with those expected for passively evolving progenitors of today's giant ellipticals. These findings are based on a deep optical rest-frame spectrum obtained with the Multi-Object

    Let G be a complex connected reductive group. The PRV conjecture, which was proved independently by S. Kumar and O. Mathieu in 1989, gives explicit irreducible submodules of the tensor product of two irreducible G-modules. This paper has three aims. First, we simplify the proof of the PRV conjecture, then we generalize it to other branching problems. Finally

    Let $V$ be a braided vector space, that is, a vector space together with a solution $\hat{R}\in {\text{End}}(V\otimes V)$ of the Yang--Baxter equation. Denote $T(V):=\bigoplus_k V^{\otimes k}$. We associate to $\hat{R}$ a solution $T(\hat{R})\in {\text{End}}(T(V)\otimes T(V))$ of the Yang--Baxter equation on the tensor space $T(V)$. The correspondence $\hat{

    Applications of the Dirac equation with an anomalous magnetic moment are considered for description of characteristics of electrons, muons and quarks. The Dirac equation with four-dimensional scalar and vector potentials is reduced to a form suitable for a numerical integration. When a certain type of the potential is chosen, solutions can approximate quark

    We investigate how originally localized two pieces of quantum information represented by a tensor product of two unknown qudit states are delocalized by performing two-qudit global unitary operations. To characterize the delocalization power of global unitary operations on quantum information, we analyze the necessary and sufficient condition to deterministi

    We show the explicit embedding of the Cremmer-Scherk configuration into SO(16) Gauge theory and that the non-Abelian flux breaks the gauge symmetry SO(16) to SO(10). Adjoint scalar fields of SO(10) coming from components of six compact directions become massive. There are several scalar fields beloging to the representation 10, which may break SO(10).

    Novel electronic order is found theoretically for a system where even number of localized electrons per site are coupled with conduction electrons. For precise quantitative study, a variant of the Kondo lattice model is taken with crystalline electric field (CEF) singlet and triplet states for each site. Using the dynamical mean-field theory combined with th

    Asymptotic error distribution for approximation of a stochastic integral with respect to continuous semimartingale by Riemann sum with general stochastic partition is studied. Effective discretization schemes of which asymptotic conditional mean-squared error attains a lower bound are constructed. Two applications are given; efficient delta hedging strategie

    The validity of an approximation formula for European option prices under a general stochastic volatility model is proved in the light of the Edgeworth expansion for ergodic diffusions. The asymptotic expansion is around the Black-Scholes price and is uniform in bounded payoff func- tions. The result provides a validation of an existing singular perturbation

    The observation of dissipationless anomalous Hall current is one of the experimental evidences to confirm the intrinsic origin of anomalous Hall effect. To study the origin of anomalous Hall effect in iron, Fe$_{100-x}$(SiO$_{2}$)$_{x}$ granular films with volume fraction of SiO$_{2}$ 0\le x \le 40.51 were fabricated using co-sputtering.

    Zaharopol proved the following result: let $T,S:L^1(X,{\cf},\m)\to L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$ be two positive contractions such that $T\leq S$. If $\|S-T\|<1$ then $\|S^n-T^n\|<1$ for all $n\in\bn$. In the present paper we generalize this result to multi-parameter contractions acting on $L^1$. As an application of that result we prove a generalization of the &#34;zero

    We propose a statistical method to test whether two phylogenetic trees with given alignments are significantly incongruent. Our method compares the two distributions of phylogenetic trees given by the input alignments, instead of comparing point estimations of trees. This statistical approach can be applied to gene tree analysis for example, detecting unusua

    The classical Duhamel principle, established nearly 200 years ago by Jean-Marie-Constant Duhamel, reduces the Cauchy problem for an inhomogeneous partial differential equation to the Cauchy problem for the corresponding homogeneous equation. Duhamel&#39;s principle is not applicable in the case of fractional order differential equations. In this paper we for

Here we report on the basic physical properties of 125 GMCs in the LMC that have been surveyed to date. The observed clouds exhibit scaling relations that are similar to th

    We investigated the dependence of the solar magnetic parity between the hemispheres on two important parameters, the turbulent diffusivity and the meridional flow, by means of axisymmetric kinematic dynamo simulations based on the flux-transport dynamo model. It is known that the coupling of the magnetic field between hemispheres due to turbulent diffusivity

    Given any unoriented link diagram, a group of new knot invariants are constructed. Each of them satisfies a generalized 4 term skein relation. The coefficients of each invariant is from a commutative ring. Homomorphisms and representations of such a ring defines new link invariants. In this sense, they produce the well-known Kauffman bracket, the Kauffman 2-

    We give an overview of recent results on Lieb-Robinson bounds and some of their applications in the study of quantum many-body models in condensed matter physics.

    The computational complexity of different steps of the basic SSA is discussed. It is shown that the use of the general-purpose &#34;blackbox&#34; routines (e.g. found in packages like LAPACK) leads to huge waste of time resources since the special Hankel structure of the trajectory matrix is not taken into account. We outline several state-of-the-art algorit

    We introduce a new class of integrators for stiff ODEs as well as SDEs. These integrators are (i) {\it Multiscale}: they are based on flow averaging and so do not fully resolve the fast variables and have a computational cost determined by slow variables (ii) {\it Versatile}: the method is based on averaging the flows of the given dynamical system (which may

    Balanced minimum evolution (BME) is a statistically consistent distance-based method to reconstruct a phylogenetic tree from an alignment of molecular data. In 2000, Pauplin showed that the BME method is equivalent to optimizing a linear functional over the BME polytope, the convex hull of the BME vectors obtained from Pauplin&#39;s formula applied to all bi

    We calculate the temperature-dependent magnetoelectric response of Cr2O3 from first principles. The form of the dominant magnetoelectric coupling is determined using symmetry arguments, its strength is found using ab initio methods, and the temperature dependence of the response is obtained from Monte Carlo simulations. The quantitative agreement of our resu

    The formula for analytic torsion of a cone in even dimensions is comprised of three terms. The first two terms are well understood and given by an algebraic combination of the Betti numbers and the analytic torsion of the cone base. The third &#34;singular&#34; contribution is an intricate spectral invariant of the cone base. We identify the third term as th

    In this paper we study the analytic torsion of an odd-dimensional manifold with isolated conical singularities. First we show that the analytic torsion is invariant under deformations of the metric which are of higher order near the singularities. Then we identify the metric anomaly of analytic torsion for a bounded generalized cone at its regular boundary i

    We discuss in the planar approximation the effect of double-trace deformations on CFT&#39;s. We show that this large class of models posses a conformal window describing a non-trivial flow between two fixed points of the renormalization group, and reveal the presence of a resonance which we associate to the remnant of a dilaton pole. As the conformal window

    We develop and analyze a simple cellular automaton (CA) model that reproduces the main properties of the evolution of soft X-ray coronal loops. We are motivated by the observation that these loops evolve in three distinguishable phases that suggest the development, maintainance, and decay of a self-organized system. The model is based on the idea that loops

    We show that every finite volume hyperbolic manifold of dimension greater or equal to 3 is stable under rescaled Ricci flow, i.e. that every small perturbation of the hyperbolic metric flows back to the hyperbolic metric again. Note that we do not need to make any decay assumptions on this perturbation. It will turn out that the main difficulty in the proof

    Quasi-topological gravity is a new gravitational theory including curvature-cubed interactions and for which exact black hole solutions were constructed. In a holographic framework, classical quasi-topological gravity can be thought to be dual to the large $N_c$ limit of some non-supersymmetric but conformal gauge theory. We establish various elements of the

    We study homoclinic orbits of the Swift-Hohenberg equation near a Hamiltonian-Hopf bifurcation. It is well known that in this case the normal form of the equation is integrable at all orders. Therefore the difference between the stable and unstable manifolds is exponentially small and the study requires a method capable to detect phenomena beyond all algebra

    We study the production, spectrum and detectability of gravitational waves in models of the early Universe where first order phase transitions occur during inflation. We consider all relevant sources. The self-consistency of the scenario strongly affects the features of the waves. The spectrum appears to be mainly sourced by collisions of bubble of the new p

    We investigate the effect of three important processes by which AGN-blown bubbles transport material: drift, wake transport and entrainment. The first of these, drift, occurs because a buoyant bubble pushes aside the adjacent material, giving rise to a net upward displacement of the fluid behind the bubble. For a spherical bubble, the mass of upwardly displa

    The mounting evidence for anomalously large peculiar velocities in our Universe presents a challenge for the LCDM paradigm.

    A Lindblad master equation for a harmonic oscillator, which describes the dynamics of an open system, is formally solved. The solution yields the spectral resolution of the Liouvillian, that is, all eigenvalues and eigenprojections are obtained. This spectral resolution is discussed in depth in the context of the biorthogonal system and the rigged Hilbert sp

    We consider 2d Maxwell system defined on the Rindler space with metric ds^2=\exp(2aξ)\cdot(dη^2-dξ^2) with the goal to study the dynamics of the ghosts. We find an extra contribution to the vacuum energy in comparison with Minkowski space time with metric ds^2= dt^2-dx^2. This extra contribution can be traced to the unphysical degrees of freedom (in Minkowsk

When combined with historical measurements, these data constrain the evolution of the star&#39;s 1.19 d rotation period over the past three decades. We are able to rule out a con

    Main theorems of the article concern the problem of M. Atiyah on possible values of l^2-Betti numbers. It is shown that all non-negative real numbers are l^2-Betti numbers, and that &#34;many&#34; (for example all non-negative algebraic) real numbers are l^2-Betti numbers of simply connected manifolds with respect to a free cocompact action.

    The aim of this paper is to study the molecular composition in the circumstellar envelope around the oxygen-rich star IK Tau. We observed IK Tau in several (sub)millimeter bands using the APEX telescope during three observing periods. To determine the spatial distribution of the $\mathrm{^{12}CO(3-2)}$ emission, mapping observations were performed. To constr

    It has recently been argued by Alday et al that the inclusion of surface operators in 4d N=2 SU(2) quiver gauge theories should correspond to insertions of certain degenerate operators in the dual Liouville theory. So far only the insertion of a single surface operator has been treated (in a semi-classical limit). In this paper we study and generalise this p

    We compute v4/(v2)^2 in ideal and viscous hydrodynamics. We investigate its sensitivity to details of the hydrodynamic model and compare the results to experimental data from RHIC. Whereas v2 has a significant sensitivity only to initial eccentricity and viscosity while being insensitive to freeze out temperature, we find that v4/(v2)^2 is quite insensitive

    We investigate the form of the viscous correction to the equilibrium distribution function in the context of a Cooper-Frye freeze out prescription for viscous hydrodynamic simulations of relativistic heavy ion collisions. The standard quadratic ansatz used by all groups for the case of shear viscosity is found to be disfavored by experimental data for v4/(v2

    In this paper we solve several problems concerning joint similarity to n-tuples of operators in noncommutative varieties in $[B(\cH)^n]_1$ associated with positive regular free holomorphic functions in $n$ noncommuting variables and with sets of noncommutative polynomials in $n$ indeterminates, where $B(\cH)$ is the algebra of all bounded linear operators on

    The observed cooperation on the level of genes, cells, tissues, and individuals has been the object of intense study by evolutionary biologists, mainly because cooperation often flourishes in biological systems in apparent contradiction to the selfish goal of survival inherent in Darwinian evolution. In order to resolve this paradox, evolutionary game theory

    On a Fano manifold, we prove that the Kahler-Ricci flow starting from a Kahler metric in the anti-canonical class which is sufficiently close to a Kahler-Einstein metric must converge in a polynomial rate to a Kahler-Einstein metric. The convergence can not happen in general if we study the flow on the level of Kahler potentials. Instead we exploit the inter

    The point process of vertices of an iteration infinitely divisible or more specifically of an iteration stable random tessellation in the Euclidean plane is considered. We explicitly determine its covariance measure and its pair-correlation function as well as the cross-covariance measure and the cross-pair-correlation function of the vertex point process an

    We prove that constant scalar curvature Kähler metric &#34;adjacent&#34; to a fixed Kähler class is unique up to isomorphism. This extends the uniqueness theorem of Donaldson and Chen-Tian, and formally fits into the infinite dimensional G.I.T picture described by Donaldson. We prove that the Calabi flow near a cscK metric exists globally and converges unifo

    A procedure for unfolding the true distribution from experimental data is presented. Machine learning methods are applied for simultaneous identification of an apparatus function and solving of an inverse problem. A priori information about the true distribution from theory or previous experiments is used for Monte-Carlo simulation of the training sample. Th

    It is known that, in the noncommutative Schwarzschild black hole spacetime, the point-like object is replaced by the smeared object, whose mass density is described by a Gaussian distribution of minimal width $\sqrtθ$ with $θ$ the noncommutative parameter. The elimination of the point-like structures makes it quite different from the conventional Schwarzschi

    The author cannot grant that Quantum Mechanics satisfies the axioms described here when repeated measurements are at stake. This does not compromise the validity of the conclusions of the previous article &#34;A glance beyond the quantum model&#34;, Proc. Roy. Soc. Lond. A 466, 881-890 (2009).

    We have an audacious dream, we would like to develop a simulation and virtual reality system to support the decision making in European football (soccer). In this review, we summarize the efforts that we have made to fulfil this dream until recently. In addition, an introductory version of FerSML (Footballer and Football Simulation Markup Language) is presen

    Despite its obvious relevance, meaning has been outside most theoretical approaches to information in biology. As a consequence, functional responses based on an appropriate interpretation of signals has been replaced by a probabilistic description of correlations between emitted and received symbols. This assumption leads to potential paradoxes, such as the

    We consider a queueing network in which there are constraints on which queues may be served simultaneously; such networks may be used to model input-queued switches and wireless networks. The scheduling policy for such a network specifies which queues to serve at any point in time. We consider a family of scheduling policies, related to the maximum-weight po

    We analyze the possibility of primordial magnetic field amplification by a stochastic large scale kinematic dynamo during reheating. We consider a charged scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. During inflation this field is assumed to be in its vacuum state. At the transition to reheating the state of the field changes to a many particle/anti-particle s

    We investigate the MSSM with very large tan(beta) > 50, where the fermion masses are strongly affected by loop-induced couplings to the &#34;wrong&#34; Higgs, imposing perturbative Yukawa couplings and constraints from flavour physics. Performing a low-energy scan of the MSSM with flavour-blind soft terms, we find that the branching ratio of B->tau nu and th

    We consider cosmological models of Bianchi type. In particular, we are interested in the alpha-limit dynamics near the Kasner circle of equilibria for Bianchi classes VIII and IX. They correspond to cosmological models close to the big-bang singularity. We prove the existence of a codimension-one family of solutions that limit, for t to negative infinity, on

    New algorithms are proposed for the Tucker approximation of a 3-tensor, that access it using only the tensor-by-vector-by-vector multiplication subroutine. In the matrix case, Krylov methods are methods of choice to approximate the dominant column and row subspaces of a sparse or structured matrix given through the matrix-by-vector multiplication subroutine.

    In analogy with quantum optics, short time correlations of the current fluctuations are used to characterize an on-demand electron source consisting of a quantum dot connected to a conductor via a tunable tunnel barrier. We observe a new fundamental noise for electrons associated with the quantum fluctuations of the electron emission time, which we call quan

    Rank functors on a quiver $Q$ are certain additive functors from the category of representations of $Q$ to the category of finite-dimensional vector spaces. Composing with the dimension function on vector spaces gives a rank function on $Q$. These induce functions on $\rep(Q, α)$, the variety of representations of $Q$ of dimension vector $α$, and thus can be

    The boundary OSP(1|2) WZNW model possesses two types of branes, which are localized on supersymmetric Euclidean AdS$_2$ and on two-dimensional superspheres. We compute the coupling of closed strings to these branes with two different methods. The first one uses factorization constraints and the other one a correspondence to boundary N=1 super-Liouville field
