The expected value for the weighted crossing number of a randomly weighted graph is studied. A variation of the Crossing Lemma for expectations is proved. We focus on the case where the edge-weights are independent random variables that are uniformly distributed on [0,1].

We perform a complete calculation of the relic abundance of the KK-photon LKP in the universal extra dimension model including all coannihilation channels and all resonances. We show that the production of level 2 particles which decay dominantly into SM particles contribute significantly to coannihilation processes involving level 1 KK-leptons. As a result

We review recent progress in understanding the arrival time problem in quantum mechanics, from the point of view of the decoherent histories approach to quantum theory. We begin by discussing the arrival time problem, focussing in particular on the role of the probability current in the expected classical solution. After a brief introduction to decoherent hi

We study the effect of the relative velocity of dark matter and baryonic fluids after the epoch of recombination on the evolution of the first bound objects in the early universe. Recent work has shown that, although relative motion of the two fluids is formally a second order effect in density, it has a dramatic impact on the formation and distribution of t

We consider the minimum vertex cover problem in hypergraphs in which every hyperedge has size k (also known as minimum hitting set problem, or minimum set cover with element frequency k). Simple algorithms exist that provide k-approximations, and this is believed to be the best possible approximation achievable in polynomial time. We show how to exploit dens

We discuss recent work showing that in certain cases the membrane paradigm equations governing the dynamics of black hole horizons can be recast as relativistic conservation law equations. In the context of gauge/gravity dualities, these equations are interpreted as defining the viscous hydrodynamics of a holographically dual relativistic field theory. Using

Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) and dead comets comprise the vast majority of the population of Near Earth Objects (NEOs) detected to date. Less is known of their physical properties than of the much larger population of main-belt asteroids. Due to the faintness and short duration of visibility of NEOs, many characterization studies use broadband filters in 3 to

We propose a model describing the liquid-vapour phase transition according to a phase-field approach. The model takes up a setting proposed by the second author, where a phase field is introduced whose equilibrium values 0 and 1 are associated to the liquid and vapour phases. The phase field obeys Ginzburg-Landau equation and enters the constitutive relation

The analytical algorithm previously proposed by the author for matching the Volkov-Akulov (VA) and Komargodski-Seiberg (KS) actions describing the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) fermion, is discussed. The essence of the algotithm is explained, its consistency is proved and the recent results obtained with computer assistance are reproduced, when the proper Fierz rearr

We study three different multi-orbital models for iron-based superconductors (iron-SCs) in the solvable limit of weakly coupled square plaquettes. The strongest superconducting (SC) pairing is in the $A_{1g}$ $s$-wave channel and its development is correlated with the emergence of the next-nearest-neighbour antiferromagnetism (NNN-AFM). For the models with m

We make use of the global symmetries of the Yang-Mills theory on the lattice to design a new computational strategy for extracting glueball masses and matrix elements which achieves an exponential reduction of the statistical error with respect to standard techniques. By generalizing our previous work on the parity symmetry, the partition function of the the

Continuum intensity observations obtained with the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) on-board the SoHO mission provide long time series of filtergrams that are ideal for studying the evolution of large-scale phenomena in the solar atmosphere and their dependence on solar activity. These filtergrams, however, are not taken in a pure continuum spectral band, but

We examine the moduli space E=T* of complex tori T(t)=C/L(t) where L(t)=cost.n(t)Lt. We find that the Dedekind eta function furnishes a bridge between the euclidean and hyperbolic structures on T*=C-L/L as well as between the doubly periodic Weierstrass function p on T* and the theta function for the lattice E(8). The former one allows us to rewrite the Lame

We show that for supersingular prime p the image of a unique meromorphic function G_p on X_0(p) (of degree two, with polar divisor {[0]_0,[\infty]_0}) under a certain Hecke operator is equal to j(τ) (up to some additional constant). This generates quantities of relations between the coefficients of j(t) and leads to some group of hidden symmetries whose orde

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in space and astrophysical plasmas in which oppositely directed magnetic fields changes its connectivity and eventually converts its energy into kinetic and thermal energy of the plasma.

Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (trPES) can directly detect transient electronic structure, thus bringing out its promising potential to clarify nonequilibrium processes arising in condensed matters.

Loss and noise quickly destroy quantum entanglement. Nevertheless, recent work has shown that a quadrature-entangled light source can reap a substantial performance advantage over all classical-state sources of the same average transmitter power in scenarios whose loss and noise makes them entanglement breaking, standoff target-detection being an example.

It is argued that realism and true randomness are fully compatible. Realistic true random events are acts of pure creation that obey strict laws, but do not necessarily satisfy Kolmogorov's axioms of probabilities. Realistic true randomness is some sort of nondeterministic force, or propensity of physical systems to manifest such and such properties unde

We review three main results of our recent study: * We show that a proper treatment of the tidal interaction prior to the onset of the common envelope (CE) leads to an enhance mass loss. This might increase the survivability of planets and brown dwarfs that enter a CE phase. * From the distribution of planets around main sequence stars, we conclude that arou

Analytical formula for multiplicity distribution is derived in the QO approach, where chaotic and coherent fields are contained. Observed charged multiplicity distributions in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200$ AGeV and in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=900$ GeV are analyzed by the formula.

We consider a model describing the behavior of a mixture of two incompressible fluids with the same density in isothermal conditions. The model consists of three balance equations: continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equation for the mean velocity of the mixture, and diffusion equation (Cahn-Hilliard equation). We assume that the chemical potential depends up

We offer here a more direct approach to twisted K-theory, based on the notion of twisted vector bundles (of finite or infinite dimension) and of twisted principal bundles. This is closeely related to the classical notion ot torsors and bundles of modules over an algebra bundle. Twisted K-theory is simply defined as the Grothendieck group of twisted vector bu

The asymptotic behavior of the integrated density of states for a randomly perturbed lattice at the infimum of the spectrum is investigated. The leading term is determined when the decay of the single site potential is slow. The leading term depends only on the classical effect from the scalar potential. To the contrary, the quantum effect appears when the d

It is well known that random walks in one dimensional random environment can exhibit subdiffusive behavior due to presence of traps. In this paper we show that the passage times of different traps are asymptotically independent exponential random variables with parameters forming, asymptotically, a Poisson process.

We construct a pseudoclassical particle model associated to the twisted N=2 SUSY algebra in four dimensions. The particle model has four kappa symmetries. Three of them can be used to reduce the model to the vector supersymmetry particle case. The quantization of the model gives rise to two copies of the 4d Dirac equation.

The symmetry breaking of 5-dimensional SU(6) GUT into 4-dimensional SU(3) x SU(3) x U(1) with orbifold S1/Z2 through Scherk-Schwarz mechanism is investigated.

Given a semilattice $X$ we study the algebraic properties of the semigroup $\upsilon(X)$ of upfamilies on $X$. The semigroup $\upsilon(X)$ contains the Stone-Cech extension $β(X)$, the superextension $λ(X)$, and the space of filters $ϕ(X)$ on $X$ as closed subsemigroups. We prove that $\upsilon(X)$ is a semilattice iff $λ(X)$ is a semilattice iff $ϕ(X)$ is a

The renormalization of general gauge theories on flat and curved space-time backgrounds is considered within the Sp(2)-covariant quantization method.

We introduce the fibred toric varieties as equivariant $\mathbb{C}P^r$ bundles over lower dimensional toric varieties. An equivalent characterization is that the natural morphisms on them degenerate to bundle projections in the context of variation of toric varieties as GIT quotients.

The generalized multispin Jahn-Teller model on a finite lattice or formally equivalent Dicke model extended to two long-wavelength coherent bosons of different frequencies is shown to exhibit a crossover between the polaron-modified &#34;quasi-normal&#34; and the squeezed &#34;radiation&#34; domains. We investigate effects of two kinds of interfering fluctua

We study the energy gap opening in the electronic spectrum of graphene bilayers caused by asym- metric doping. Both substitutional impurities (boron acceptors and nitrogen donors) and adsorbed potassium donors are considered. The gap evolution with dopant concentration is compared to the situation in which the asymmetry between the layers is induced by an ex

This paper reviews the constraints on the solar neutrino mixing parameters with data collected by the Homestake, SAGE, GALLEX, Kamiokande, SuperKamiokande, Borexino and SNO experiments. An emphasis will be given to the global solar neutrino analyses in terms of matter-enhanced oscillation of two and three active flavors. The results to-date, including both s

We revisit the problem of model-based object recognition for intensity images and attempt to address some of the shortcomings of existing Bayesian methods, such as unsuitable priors and the treatment of residuals with a non-robust error norm. We do so by using a refor- mulation of the Huber metric and carefully chosen prior distributions. Our proposed method

We report on the study of the structural, magnetic and transport properties of highly textured MnBi films with the Curie temperature of 628K. In addition to detailed measurements of resistivity and magnetization, we measure transport spin polarization of MnBi by Andreev reflection spectroscopy and perform fully relativistic band structure calculations of MnB
