We prove that the analogue for the Hilbert transform of a classical weighted inequality by Fefferman and Stein for the Hardy Littlewood maximal operator does not hold. This is a sequel to paper arXiv:1008.3943 by the first author, which shows the same for the general Haar multiplier operator.

In semi-supervised learning on graphs, response variables observed at one node are used to estimate missing values at other nodes. The methods exploit correlations between nearby nodes in the graph. In this paper we prove that many such proposals are equivalent to kriging predictors based on a fixed covariance matrix driven by the link structure of the graph

We give estimates on the logarithmic Sobolev constant of some finite lamplighter graphs in terms of the spectral gap of the underlying base. Also, we give examples of application.

In the recent years, a number of issues concerning distributions generating 1- flags (called also Goursat flags) has been analyzed. Presently similar questions are discussed as regards distributions generating multi-flags. (In fact, only so-called special multi-flags, to avoid functional moduli.) In particular and foremost, special 2-flags of small lengths a

The Bradley-Terry model is a popular approach to describe probabilities of the possible outcomes when elements of a set are repeatedly compared with one another in pairs. It has found many applications including animal behaviour, chess ranking and multiclass classification. Numerous extensions of the basic model have also been proposed in the literature incl

The probability for two monic polynomials of a positive degree n with coefficients in the finite field F_q to be relatively prime turns out to be identical with the probability for an n x n Hankel matrix over F_q to be nonsingular. Motivated by this, we give an explicit map from pairs of coprime polynomials to nonsingular Hankel matrices that explains this c

General-purpose Monte Carlo event generators have become important tools in particle physics, allowing the simulation of exclusive hadronic final states. In this article we examine the Pythia 8 generator, in particular focusing on its parton-shower algorithms. Some relevant new additions to the code are introduced, that should allow for a better description

Granular packings slowly driven towards their instability threshold are studied using a digital imaging technique as well as a nonlinear acoustic method. The former method allows us to study grain rearrangements on the surface during the tilting and the latter enables to selectively probe the modifications of the weak-contact fraction in the material bulk.

We present the first representation of the general term of the Rayleigh-Schrödinger series for quasidegenerate systems. Each term of the series is represented by a tree and there is a straightforward relation between the tree and the analytical expression of the corresponding term. The combinatorial and graphical techniques used in the proof of the series ex

We systematically analyzed the high-quality Suzaku data of 88 Seyfert galaxies. We obtained a clear relation between the absorption column density and the equivalent width of the 6.4 keV line above 10$^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$, suggesting a wide-ranging column density of $10^{23-24.5}$ cm$^{-2}$ with a similar solid and a Fe abundance of 0.7--1.3 solar for Seyfert 2

We present LDA calculated electronic structure of recently discovered superconductor SrPt2As2 with Tc=5.2K. Despite its chemical composition and crystal structure are somehow similar to FeAs-based high-temperature superconductors, the electronic structure of SrPt2As2 is very much different. Crystal structure is orthorhombic (or tetragonal if idealized) and h

We theoretically study the behaviour of a liquid bridge formed between a pair of rigid and parallel plates. The plates are smooth, they may either be homogeneous or decorated by circular patches of more hydrophilic domains, and they are generally not identical. We calculate the mechanical equilibrium distance of the liquid bridge as a function of liquid volu

Automatic assessment needs short answer based evaluation and automated assessment. Various techniques used are Ontology, Semantic similarity matching and Statistical methods.

We re-analyse the perturbative radiative corrections to the Higgs mass within the Standard Model in the light of the Taylor-Lagrange renormalization scheme. This scheme naturally leads to completely finite corrections, depending on an arbitrary dimensionless scale. This formulation avoids very large individual corrections to the Higgs mass. In other words, i

Hipparcos photometric data for the massive O-type binary UW CMa were analysed within the framework of the Roche model. Photometric solutions were obtained for five mass ratios in the $q=M_2/M_1=0.5-1.5$ range. The system is found to be in a contact configuration. Independently of $q$, the best-fitting model solutions correspond to the orbital inclination $i

We express a matrix version of the self-induced transparency (SIT) equations in the bidifferential calculus framework. An infinite family of exact solutions is then obtained by application of a general result that generates exact solutions from solutions of a linear system of arbitrary matrix size.

The operating system's role in a computer system is to manage the various resources. One of these resources is the Central Processing Unit. It is managed by a component of the operating system called the CPU scheduler. Schedulers are optimized for typical workloads expected to run on the platform.

We investigate the morphology of the collision front between the stellar winds of binary components in two long-period binary systems, one consisting of a hydrogen rich Wolf-Rayet star (WNL) and an O-star and the other of a Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) and an O-star. Specifically, we follow the development and evolution of instabilities that form in such a s

The FUV and NUV photometry allows us to extract the hottest stellar objects, in particular hot white dwarfs (WD), which are elusive at other wavelengths because of their high temperatures and faint

Some basic properties of Hom-Leibniz algebras are found. These properties are the Hom-analogue of corresponding well-known properties of Leibniz algebras. Considering the Hom-Akivis algebra associated to a given Hom-Leibniz algebra, it is observed that the Hom-Akivis identity leads to an additional property of Hom-Leibniz algebras, which in turn gives a nece

We study the current flow through semiconductor quantum rings. In high magnetic field the current is usually injected to the arm of the ring preferred by classical magnetic forces. However, for narrow magnetic field intervals that appear periodically on the magnetic field scale the current is injected to the other arm of the ring. We indicate that the appear

The generalized p-characters for the restricted Lie color are defined. The simplicity of the induced modules for the FP triples are determined. As applications, we have obtained an analogue of the Kac-Weisfiler theorem for the algebraic Lie color algebra cgl(V), also determined the simplicity of the baby Verma modules for cgl(V).

We present a new method to calculate meson spectral functions (SPFs) on the lattice based on a variational method. Because, on a finite volume lattice, the meson SPFs have discrete spectra only, a suitable way to extract such discrete signals is needed. Using a variational method, we can calculate several discrete quantities such as the position and the area

We derive a Poisson random field model for population site polymorphisms differences within and between two species that share a relatively recent common ancestor. The model can be either equilibrium or time inhomogeneous. We first consider a random field of Markov chains that describes the fate of a set of individual mutations. This field is approximated by

Recent BNL and Jlab data provided new evidence on two nucleon correlations (2NC) in nuclei. The data confirm the validity of the convolution model, describing the spectral function (SF) of a correlated pair moving in the mean field with high and low relative and center-of-mass (cm) momenta, respectively. The model is built assuming that the wave function (WF

Elemental correlations and anti-correlations are known to be present in globular clusters (GCs) owing to pollution by CNO cycled gas. Because of its fragility Li is destroyed at the temperature at which the CNO cycling occurs, and this makes Li a crucial study for the nature of the contaminating stars.

Three-dimensional studies of convection in deep spherical shells have been used to test the hypothesis that the strong jet streams on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune result from convection throughout the molecular envelopes. Due to computational limitations, these simulations must adopt viscosities and heat fluxes many orders of magnitude larger than th

Helical edge modes are characteristic of topological insulators in two dimensions. This paper demonstrates that helical edge modes remain across transitions to ordinary insulators or to semimetals under certain condition. Straight and zigzag edges are considered in a tight-binding model on square lattice. We focus on the case of indirect gap in bulk topologi

In this paper, we show that the Chvatal-Gomory closure of a compact convex set is a rational polytope. This resolves an open question discussed in Schrijver [Schrijver 80'] and generalizes the same result for the case of rational polytopes [Schrijver 80'], rational ellipsoids [Dey-Vielma 10'] and strictly convex sets [Dadush-Dey-Vielma 10'].

We prove a structure theorem for non-isomorphic endomorphisms of weak Q-Fano threefolds, or more generally for threefolds with big anti-canonical divisor. Also provided is a criterion for a fibred rationally connected threefold to be rational. As a consequence, we show (without using the classification) that every smooth Fano threefold having a non-isomorphi

Operators play a substantial role in mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics. However, explicit forms of the operators are usually postulated, based on the intuitive assumptions. In this study, variational principle was applied to the basic equation for expectation value to vary a generalized form of operator while keeping psi-function invariable. A rest

Crystallization is observed during long molecular dynamics simulations of bent trimers, a molecular model proposed by Lewis and Wahnström for ortho-terphenyl. In the crystal, the three spheres that make up the rigid molecule sit near sites of a body centered cubic lattice, the trimer bond angle being almost optimal for this structure. The crystal exhibits or

We present examples of exponential stabilization for the damped wave equation on a compact manifold in situations where the geometric control condition is not satisfied. This follows from a dynamical argument involving a topological pressure on a suitable uncontrolled set.

We explore the effects of random link removal on the photonic band gaps of honeycomb networks. Missing or incomplete links are expected to be common in practical realizations of this class of connected network structures due to unavoidable flaws in the fabrication process. We focus on the collapse of the photonic band gap due to the defects induced by the li

On the basis of our recent modifications of the Dirac formalism we generalize the Bargmann-Wigner formalism for higher spins to be compatible with other formalisms for bosons. Relations with dual electrodynamics, with the Ogievetskii-Polubarinov notoph and the Weinberg 2(2S+1) theory are found. Next, we proceed to derive the equations for the symmetric tenso

We investigate baryon-baryon (BB) interactions in the 3-flavor full QCD simulations with degenerate quark masses for all flavors. The BB potentials in the orbital S-wave are extracted from the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter wave functions measured on the lattice. We observe strong flavor-spin dependences of the BB potentials at short distances. In particular, a strong

We propose a model for supernovae Ia explosions based on a phase transition to a supersymmetric state which becomes the active trigger for the deflagration starting the explosion in an isolated sub-Chandrasekhar white dwarf star. With two free parameters we fit the rate and several properties of type Ia supernovae and address the gap in the supermassive blac

We study the following question: given a set P of 3d-2 points and an immersed curve G in the real plane R^2, all in general position, how many real rational plane curves of degree d pass through these points and are tangent to this curve. We count each such curve with a certain sign, and present an explicit formula for their algebraic number. This number is

Let $Φ_n$ be an i.i.d. sequence of Lipschitz mappings of $\R^d$. We study the Markov chain $\{X_n^x\}_{n=0}^\infty$ on $\R^d$ defined by the recursion $X_n^x = Φ_n(X^x_{n-1})$, $n\in\N$, $X_0^x=x\in\R^d$. We assume that $Φ_n(x)=Φ(A_n x,B_n(x))$ for a fixed continuous function $Φ:\R^d\times \R^d\to\R^d$, commuting with dilations and i.i.d random pairs $(A_n,B

We synthesize large-area graphene via atmospheric-pressure (AP) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on copper, and transfer to SiO2 wafers. In contrast to low-pressure (LP) CVD on copper, optical contrast and atomic force microscopy measurements show AP-CVD graphene contains significant multi-layer areas.

We study the bias and scatter in mass measurements of galaxy clusters resulting from fitting a spherically-symmetric Navarro, Frenk & White model to the reduced tangential shear profile measured in weak lensing observations.

During directional solidification of the solvent in a colloidal suspension, the colloidal particles segregate from the growing solid, forming high-particle-density regions with structure on a hierarchy of length scales ranging from that of the particle-scale packing to the large-scale spacing between these regions. Previous work has concentrated mostly on th

Existing theories explain spin glass transition in terms of a phase transition and order parameters, and assume the existence of a distinct spin glass phase. In addition to problems related to clarifying the nature of this phase, the common challenge is to explain profound dynamic effects. Here, we propose that the main experimental results of spin glass tra

Deciding whether a model provides a good description of data is often based on a goodness-of-fit criterion summarized by a p-value. Although there is considerable confusion concerning the meaning of p-values, leading to their misuse, they are nevertheless of practical importance in common data analysis tasks. We motivate their application using a Bayesian ar

The quantum theory of optical coherence is applied to the scrutiny of the statistical properties of the relic inflaton quanta. After adapting the description of the quantized scalar and tensor modes of the geometry to the analysis of intensity correlations, the normalized degrees of first-order and second-order coherence are computed in the concordance parad

We study a family of "classical" orthogonal polynomials which satisfy (apart from a 3-term recurrence relation) an eigenvalue problem with a differential operator of Dunkl-type. These polynomials can be obtained from the little $q$-Jacobi polynomials in the limit $q=-1$. We also show that these polynomials provide a nontrivial realization of the Aske

An asymptotic formula for the sum of the first n primes is derived. This result improves the previous results of P. Dusart. Using this asymptotic expansion, we prove the conjectures of R. Mandl and G. Robin on the upper and the lower bound of the sum of the first n primes respectively.

We evaluate the sparticle mass spectrum in the minimal four-dimensional construction that interpolates between gaugino and ordinary gauge mediation at the weak scale. We find that even in the hybrid case -- when the messenger scale is comparable to the mass of the additional gauge particles -- both the right-handed as well as the left-handed sleptons are lig

The Melkersson subcategory is a special Serre subcategory. It was proved that a Serre subcategory which is closed under injective hulls is a Melkersson subcategory.

This is an ongoing review on the idea that the phase space information loss at causal horizons is the key ingredient of major physical laws.

In the framework of differential Galois theory we treat the classical spectral problem $Ψ"-u(x)Ψ=λΨ$ and its finite-gap potentials as exactly solvable in quadratures by Picard--Vessiot without involving special functions; the ideology goes back to the 1919 works by J.

We represent and analyze the general solution of the sixth Painleve transcendent in the Picard-Hitchin-Okamoto class in the Painleve form as the logarithmic derivative of the ratio of certain $τ$-functions. These functions are expressible explicitly in terms of the elliptic Legendre integrals and Jacobi $θ$-functions, for which we write the general different

Not long ago, the definition of eigenspinors of charge-conjugation belonging to a special Wigner class has lead to the unexpected theoretical discovery of a form of matter with spin 1/2 and mass dimension 1, called ELKO matter field; ELKO matter fields defined in flat spacetimes have been later extended to curved and twisted spacetimes, in order to include i

We prove a conjecture of Kontsevich which states that if $A$ is an $E_{d-1}$ algebra then the Hochschild cohomology object of $A$ is the universal $E_d$ algebra acting on $A$. The notion of an $E_d$ algebra acting on an $E_{d-1}$ algebra was defined by Kontsevich using the swiss cheese operad of Voronov. The degree 0 and 1 pieces of the swiss cheese operad c

A general product, which we call the unified product, is constructed such that both the crossed product and the bicrossed p

$N$-point functions of holomorphic fields in conformal field theories can be calculated by methods from algebraic geometry.

We introduce the Hausdorff measure for definable sets in an o-minimal structure, and prove the Cauchy-Crofton and co-area formulae for the o-minimal Hausdorff measure.

If $h\geqslant0$, the decorated Teichmüller space in the $Ψ_h$ coordinate becomes an exp

We extend the definition of a quantum analogue of the Caldero-Chapoton map defined in \cite{rupel}.

We prove that a distance-regular graph with intersection array $\{55,36,11;1,4,45\}$ does not exist. This intersection array is from the table of feasible parameters for distance-regular graphs in "Distance-regular graphs"\ by A.E. Brouwer, A.M. Cohen, A. Neumaier.

AXPs and SGRs constitute a special population of young neutron stars, which are thought to be magnetars, i.e., neutron stars with super-strong magnetic fields (10^14 - 10^15 G). Assuming that AXPs and SGRs accrete matter from a fallback disk, we attempt to explain the energy-dependent pulse profiles of AXP 4U 0142+61, as well as its phase-dependent energy sp

The paper considers gossip distributed estimation of a (static) distributed random field (a.k.a., large scale unknown parameter vector) observed by sparsely interconnected sensors, each of which only observes a small fraction of the field. We consider linear distributed estimators whose structure combines the information \emph{flow} among sensors (the \emph{

We discuss the possibility of extending the RG flows to complex coupling spaces. We argue that the Fisher's zeros are located at the boundary of the complex basin of attraction of IR fixed points. We support this picture with numerical calculations at finite volume for2D O(N) models in the large-N limit and the hierarchical Ising model using the two-latt

A stochastic model for a chemical reaction network is embedded in a one-parameter family of models with species numbers and rate constants scaled by powers of the parameter. A systematic approach is developed for determining appropriate choices of the exponents that can be applied to large complex networks. When the scaling implies subnetworks have different

The talk, based on \cite{LN10}, analyzes the consequences of the assumption that the effects of quantum coherence and the resulting angular ordering in QCD cascades are disrupted within the hot fireball created in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.

Recent nanotoxicity studies revealed that the physico-chemical characteristics of engineered nanomaterials play an important role in the interactions with living cells. Here, we report on the toxicity and uptake of the cerium and iron oxide sub-10 nm nanoparticles by NIH/3T3 mouse fibroblasts. Coating strategies include low-molecular weight ligands (citric a

Degenerate pump-probe reflectivity experiments have been performed on a single crystal of bismuth telluride (Bi$_2$Te$_3$) as a function of sample temperature (3K to 296K) and pump intensity using $\sim$ 50 femtosecond laser pulses with central photon energy of 1.57 eV. The time resolved reflectivity data show two coherently generated totally symmetric A$_{1
