This article exhibits a particular encoding of logic circuits into a sheaf formalism. The central result of this article is that there exists strictly more information available to a circuit designer in this setting than exists in static truth tables, but less than exists in event-level simulation. This information is related to the timing behavior of the lo

Perez-Izquierdo and Shestakov recently extended the PBW theorem to Malcev algebras. It follows from their construction that for any Malcev algebra $M$ over a field of characteristic $\ne 2, 3$ there is a representation of the universal nonassociative enveloping algebra $U(M)$ by linear operators on the polynomial algebra $P(M)$. For the nilpotent non-Lie Mal

In this paper, we give a new construction of the tame local Langlands correspondence for GL(n,F), n a prime, where F is a p-adic field. In the tame case, supercuspidal representations of GL(n,F) are parameterized by characters of elliptic tori, but the local Langlands correspondence is unnatural because it involves a twist by some character of the torus.

Application of the information-theoretic Maximum Caliber principle to the microtrajectories of a two-state system shows that the determination of key dynamical quantities can be mapped onto the evaluation of properties of the 1-D Ising model. The strategy described here is equivalent to an earlier Maximum Caliber formulation of the two-state problem, but rev

Performances of the Very Forward Proton Spectrometer (VFPS) of the H1 detector at HERA using data collected during the 2006/2007 running period are discussed, including the description of acceptance, reconstruction of proton energy loss and estimation of the amount of the beam-gas background. The first physics result obtained with the VFPS detector - a preli

We study slow-roll inflation with the Gauss-Bonnet and Chern-Simons corrections. We obtain general formulas for the observables: spectral indices, tensor-to-scalar ratio and circular polarization of gravitational waves. The Gauss-Bonnet term violates the consistency relation r = -8n_T. Particularly, blue spectrum n_T > 0 and scale invariant spectrum |8n_T|/r

Semispecial quasi-Jordan algebras (also called Jordan dialgebras) are defined by the polynomial identities $a(bc) = a(cb)$, $(ba)a^2 = (ba^2)a$, and $(b,a^2,c) = 2(b,a,c)a$. These identities are satisfied by the product $ab = a \dashv b + b \vdash a$ in an associative dialgebra. We use computer algebra to show that every identity for this product in degree $

Nonlinear systems can be probed by driving them with two or more pure tones while measuring the intermodulation products of the drive tones in the response. We describe a digital lock-in analyzer which is designed explicitly for this purpose. The analyzer is implemented on a field-programmable gate array, providing speed in analysis, real-time feedback and s

The alternating ternary sum in an associative algebra, $abc - acb - bac + bca + cab - cba$, gives rise to the partially alternating ternary sum in an associative dialgebra with products $\dashv$ and $\vdash$ by making the argument $a$ the center of each term: $a \dashv b \dashv c - a \dashv c \dashv b - b \vdash a \dashv c + c \vdash a \dashv b + b \vdash c

The properties of Mott insulators with orbital degrees of freedom are described by spin-orbital superexchange models, which provide a theoretical framework for understanding their magnetic and optical properties. We introduce such a model derived for $(xy)^1(yz/zx)^1$ configuration of V$^{3+}$ ions in the $R$VO$_3$ perovskites, $R$=Lu,Yb,$\cdots$,La, and dem

We present Spitzer photometric data for a complete sample of 19 low redshift (z<0.1) 3CRR radio galaxies as part of our efforts to understand the origin of the prodigious mid- to far-infrared (MFIR) emission from radio-loud AGN. Our results show a correlation between AGN power (indicated by [OIII] 5007 emission line luminosity) and 24 micron luminosity. This

The INTEGRAL satellite has revealed a major population of supergiant High Mass X-ray Binaries in our Galaxy, revolutionizing our understanding of binary systems and their evolution. This population, constituted of a compact object orbiting around a massive and luminous supergiant star, exhibits unusual properties, either being extremely absorbed, or showing

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) in bacterial and archaeal DNA have recently been shown to be a new type of anti-viral immune system in these organisms. We here study the diversity of spacers in CRISPR under selective pressure. We propose a population dynamics model that explains the biological observation that the leader-pr

We present new data on electron scattering from a range of nuclei taken in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. For heavy nuclei, we observe a rapid falloff in the cross section for $x>1$, which is sensitive to short range contributions to the nuclear wave-function, and in deep inelastic scattering corresponds to probing extremely high momentum quarks. This result agree

We consider both the defocusing and focusing cubic nonlinear Klein--Gordon equations $$ u_{tt} - Δu + u \pm u^3 =0 $$ in two space dimensions for real-valued initial data $u(0)\in H^1_x$ and $u_t(0)\in L^2_x$. We show that in the defocusing case, solutions are global and have finite global $L^4_{t,x}$ spacetime bounds. In the focusing case, we characterize t

This is a survey of weak approximation over complex function fields, touching on the Koll&#39;ar-Miyaoka-Mori theorem, places of good and bad reduction, the special case of rational surfaces, rationally simply connected varieties, and applications to low-degree complete intersections.

This paper briefly reviews some of the exciting studies of the local Universe that will be enabled with the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT).

The recently synthesized layered nickelate La$_4$Ni$_3$O$_8$, with its cuprate-like NiO$_2$ layers, seemingly requires a Ni1 ($d^8$)+2Ni2 ($d^9$) charge order, together with strong correlation effects, to account for its insulating behavior. Using density functional methods including strong intra-atomic repulsion (Hubbard U), we obtain an insulating state vi

Double-double radio galaxies (DDRGs) offer a unique opportunity for us to study multiple episodes of jet activity in large-scale radio sources. We use radio data from the Very Large Array and the literature to model two DDRGs, B1450+333 and B1834+620, in terms of their dynamical evolution. We find that the standard Fanaroff-Riley II model is able to explain

G54.1+0.3 is a Crab-like pulsar wind nebula (PWN) with the highest $γ$-ray to X-ray luminosity ratio among all the nebulae driven by young rotation-powered pulsars. We model the spectral evolution of the PWN and find it difficult to match the observed multi-band data with leptons alone using reasonable model parameters. In lepton-hadron hybrid model instead,

The quasi-linear bands in the topologically trivial skutterudite insulator CoSb$_3$ are studied under adiabatic, symmetry-conserving displacement of the Sb sublattice.

In this paper we give an integral representation of an $n$-convex function $f$ in general case without additional assumptions on function $f$. We prove that any $n$-convex function can be represented as a sum of two $(n+1)$-times monotone functions and a polynomial of degree at most $n$. We obtain a decomposition of $n$-Wright-convex functions which generali

We revisit the sum-rule extraction of the decay constants of the D, Ds, B, and Bs mesons from the two-point correlator of heavy-light pseudoscalar currents. We use the operator product expansion for this correlator expressed in terms of the MSbar heavy-quark mass, for which the perturbative expansion exhibits a reasonable convergence.

Spectroscopic observations with the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on Hinode have revealed large areas of high speed outflows at the periphery of many solar active regions. These outflows are of interest because they may connect to the heliosphere and contribute to the solar wind. In this Letter we use slit rasters from EIS in combination with narrow band sl

The dynamical scaling for statistics of critical multifractal eigenstates proposed by Chalker is analytically verified for the critical random matrix ensemble in the limit of strong multifractality controlled by the small parameter $b\ll 1$.

We study the evolution of density perturbations for a class of $f(R)$ models which closely mimic $Λ$CDM background cosmology. Using the quasi-static approximation, and the fact that these models are equivalent to scalar-tensor gravity, we write the modified Friedmann and cosmological perturbation equations in terms of the mass $M$ of the scalar field. Using

Let G be a connected reductive group. We define a map from the set of unipotent classes in G to the set of conjugacy classes in the Weyl group (assuming that the characteristic is not bad). This map is a one sided inverse of a map in the opposite direction constructed in an earlier paper.

Motivated by the new higher D-supergravity solutions on intersecting attractors obtained by Ferrara et al. in [Phys.Rev.D79:065031-2009], we focus in this paper on 8D maximal supergravity with moduli space [SL(3,R)/SO(3)]x[SL(2,R)/SO(2)] and study explicitly the attractor mechanism for various configurations of extremal black p- branes (anti-branes) with the

The Gibbs measures of a spin system on $Z^d$ with unbounded pair interactions $J_{xy} σ(x) σ(y)$ are studied. Here $\langle x, y \rangle \in E $, i.e. $x$ and $y$ are neighbors in $Z^d$. The intensities $J_{xy}$ and the spins $σ(x) , σ(y)$ are arbitrary real. To control their growth we introduce appropriate sets $J_q\subset R^E$ and $S_p\subset R^{Z^d}$ and

We study the orbital angular momentum structure of the quarks inside the proton. By employing the light-cone diquark model and the overlap representation formalism, we calculate the chiral-even generalized parton distribution functions (GPDs) $H_q(x,ξ,Δ^2)$, $\widetilde{H}_q(x,ξ,Δ^2)$ and $E_q(x,ξ,Δ^2)$ at zero skewedness for $q=u$ and $d$ quarks.

We present deep GMOS-S/Gemini optical broad-band images for a complete sample of 46 southern 2Jy radio galaxies at intermediate redshifts (0.05<z<0.7). The high-quality observations show for the first time that the overall majority of PRGs at intermediate redshifts (78-85%) show peculiarities in their optical morphologies at relatively high levels of surface

Swimming microorganisms create flows that influence their mutual interactions and modify the rheology of their suspensions. While extensively studied theoretically, these flows have not been measured in detail around any freely-swimming microorganism. We report such measurements for the microphytes Volvox carteri and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The minute ~0.

We define sink marks for branched complexes and find conditions for them to determine a branched surface structure. These will be used to construct branched surfaces in knot and tangle complements. We will extend Delman&#39;s theorem and prove that a Montesinos knot $K$ of length at least 3 has a persistently laminar branched surface unless it is equivalent

Physical processes resulting in the anomalous (cubic) dependence of the small-angle IR scattering intensity from near-surface layers of mechanically polished silicon and germanium wafers on the photoexcitation power were revealed. It was shown that extended linear defects and dislocations in the damaged region contribute predominantly to carrier scattering.

Mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) are considered within the framework of a generic star-product scheme. We rederive that a full set of MUBs is adequate for a spin tomography, i.e. knowledge of all probabilities to find a system in each MUB-state is enough for a state reconstruction. Extending the ideas of the tomographic-probability representation and the star-

Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter in which surface states residing in the bulk insulating gap are protected by time-reversal symmetry. When a proper kind of antiferromagnetic long range order is established in a topological insulator, the system supports axionic excitations. In this paper, we study theoretically the electronic states in

The physical mechanism behind the TeV gamma-ray source observed at the centre of the Galaxy is still unknown. One intriguing possibility is that the accretion flow onto the central supermassive black hole is responsible for accelerating protons to TeV energies which then diffuse outward to interact with molecular gas at distances of ~1 pc. Here, we build on

With an average eccentricity of about 0.29, the eccentricity distribution of extrasolar planets is markedly different from the solar system. Among other scenarios considered, it has been proposed that eccentricity may grow through planet-disc interaction. Recently, it has been noticed that the thermodynamical state of the disc can significantly influence the

Self-similar solutions of the coherent diffusion equation are derived and measured. The set of real similarity solutions is generalized by the introduction of a nonuniform phase surface, based on the elegant Gaussian modes of optical diffraction.

We investigate the low temperature asymptotics and the finite size spectrum of a class of Temperley-Lieb models. As reference system we use the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with anisotropy parameter $Δ$ and twisted boundary conditions. Special emphasis is placed on the study of logarithmic corrections appearing in the case of $Δ=1/2$ in the bulk susceptibility

We analyze the Drell-Yan lepton pair production at forward rapidity at the Large Hadron Collider. Using the dipole framework for the computation of the cross section we find a significant suppression in comparison to the collinear factorization formula due to saturation effects in the dipole cross section.

We present scanning tunneling microscopy studies of the LaOFeAs parent compound of iron pnictide superconductors. Topographic imaging reveals two types of atomically flat surfaces, corresponding to the exposed LaO layer and FeAs layer respectively. On one type of surface, we observe strong standing wave patterns induced by quasiparticle interference of two-d

We study the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions associated to an H 1 -critical semilinear wave equation on a smooth bounded 2D domain Ω. First, we prove an appropriate Strichartz type estimate using the $L^q$ spectral projector estimates of the Laplace operator. Our proof follows Burq-Lebeau-Planchon [5]. Then,

We study repeated games played by players with bounded computational power, where, in contrast to Abreu and Rubisntein (1988), the memory is costly. We prove a folk theorem: the limit set of equilibrium payoffs in mixed strategies, as the cost of memory goes to 0, includes the set of feasible and individually rational payoffs. This result stands in sharp con

Useful information from the inner layers of stellar pulsators may be derived from the study of their oscillations.

The proton incident angle is varied between 0 and 10 mrad, being close to the critical angle for channeling. We show that, as the proton incident angle increases and approaches t

Luminescence in Ce doped materials corresponds to a transition from an excited state where the lowest Ce 5d level is filled to the ground state where a single 4f level is filled.

We investigate numerically whether the chiral symmetry is the sole factor dominating the criticality of the quantum Hall transitions in disordered graphene. When the disorder respects the chiral symmetry, the plateau-to-plateau transition at the $n=0$ Landau level is shown to become anomalous (i.e., step-function-like). Surprisingly, however, the anomaly is

The average period derivative of (5.88+/-0.08)E-11 over the 1 year time span corresponds to a dipole magnetic field strength B = 4.8E14 G, well into the magnetar range. The spin-down

This note answers a question posed by Levine in arkiv:math.CO/0906.2809. The main result is Theorem 1 which shows that under certain circumstances a critical group of a directed graph is the quotient of a critical group of its directed line graph.

The properties of the asymptotic $AdS_3$ space-times representing flat domain walls (DW&#39;s) solutions of the New Massive 3D Gravity with scalar matter are studied. Our analysis is based on $I^{st}$ order BPS-like equations involving an appropriate superpotential. The Brown-York boundary stress-tensor is used for the calculation of DW&#39;s tensions as wel

We describe the Alexander modules and Alexander polynomials (both over $\Q$ and over finite fields $\FF{p}$) of generalized trigonal curves. The rational case is closed completely; in the case of characteristic $p>0$, a few points remain open.

We give examples of endperiodic automorphisms.

We show that quasi-long-range (QLR) pair correlations that decay asymptotically with scaling $r^{-(d+1)}$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, trademarks of certain quantum systems and cosmological structures, are a universal signature of maximally random jammed (MRJ) hard-particle packings. We introduce a novel hyperuniformity descriptor in MR

The Dirichlet characters of reduced residue systems modulo m are tabulated for moduli m <= 195. The associated L-series are tabulated for m <= 14 and small positive integer argument s accurate to 10^(-50), their first derivatives for m <= 6. Restricted summation over primes only defines Dirichlet Prime L-functions which lead to Euler products (Prime Zeta Mod

Typically one expects that when a heavy particle collides with a surface, the scattered angular distribution will follow classical mechanics. The heavy mass assures that the de Broglie wavelength of the incident particle in the direction of the propagation of the particle (the parallel direction) will be much shorter than the characteristic lattice length of

Results are presented for a Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys high-resolution imaging campaign of 90 white dwarfs with known or suspected low mass stellar and substellar companions. Of the 72 targets which remain candidate and confirmed white dwarfs with near-infrared excess, 43 are spatially resolved into two or more components, and a total

We adopt a &#39;thermodynamical&#39; formulation of Mach&#39;s principle that the rest mass of a particle in the Universe is a measure of its long-range collective interactions with all other particles inside the horizon. We consider all particles in the Universe as a &#39;gravitationally entangled&#39; statistical ensemble and apply the approach of classica

We consider Bianchi VI spacetime, which also can be reduced to Bianchi types VI0-V-III-I. We initially consider the most general form of the energy-momentum tensor which yields anisotropic stress and heat flow. We then derive an energy-momentum tensor that couples with the spatial curvature in a way so as to cancel out the terms that arise due to the spatial
