The gauge group is computed explicitly for a family of E_0-semigroups of type II_0 arising from the boundary weight double construction introduced earlier by Jankowski. This family contains many E_0-semigroups which are not cocycle cocycle conjugate to any examples whose gauge groups have been computed earlier. Further results are obtained regarding the clas

Miniaturization and portability of new electronics lead up to wearable devices embedded within garments: a European program called ProeTEX developed multi-purpose sensors integrated within emergency operators' garments in order to monitor their health state and the surrounding environment. This work deals with the development of an autonomous Long Range

An interesting discovery in the last two years in the field of mathematical physics has been the exceptional $X_\ell$ Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials. Unlike the well-known classical orthogonal polynomials which start with constant terms, these new polynomials have the lowest degree $\ell=1,2,...$, and yet they form complete sets with respect to some positiv

In this paper The Ergodic Hypothesis is proven for one class of functions defined in the infinite dimensional unite cube where is given an action of some semigroup of mappings without the condition on metric transitivity. The result has not a finite analog.

We show how to reduce the problem of computing VaR and CVaR with Student T return distributions to evaluation of analytical functions of the moments. This allows an analysis of the risk properties of systems to be carefully attributed between choices of risk function (e.g. VaR vs CVaR); choice of return distribution (power law tail vs Gaussian) and choice of

We consider actions of automorphism groups of free groups by semisimple isometries on complete CAT$(0)$ spaces. If $n\ge 4$ then each of the Nielsen generators of Aut$(F_n)$ has a fixed point. If $n=3$ then either each of the Nielsen generators has a fixed point, or else they are hyperbolic and each Nielsen-generated $\Z^4\subset Aut(F_3)$ leaves invariant a

Starting with a functional difficulty appeared in the paper \cite{vz00} by Vázquez and Zuazua, we obtain new insights into the Hardy Inequality and the evolution problem associated to it by means of a reformulation of the problem. Surprisingly, the connection of the energy of the new formulation with the standard Hardy functional is nontrivial, due to the pr

Misoriented bilayer graphene with commensurate angles shows unique magneto-optical properties. The optical absorption spectra of such a system strongly depend on the angle of rotation. For a general commensurate twist angle the absorption spectra has a simple single-peak structure. However, our studies indicate that there are special angles at which the abso

We develop a transfer matrix formalism to visualize the framing of discrete piecewise linear curves in three dimensional space. Our approach is based on the concept of an intrinsically discrete curve, which enables us to more effectively describe curves that in the limit where the length of line segments vanishes approach fractal structures in lieu of contin

In an article "Missing Transverse-Doppler Effect in Time-Dilation Experiments with High-Speed Ions" by S. Devasia [arXiv:1003.2970v1], our recent Doppler shift experiments on fast ion beams are reanalyzed. Contrary to our analysis, Devasia concludes that our results provide an "indication of Lorentz violation". We argue that this conclusion i

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the Er M4,5 edge is used to study the switching behavior of the hard ErFe2 layers in an epitaxial [ErFe2(70Å)/YFe2 (150Å)]{\times}25 exchange-spring superlattice. Magnetic hysteresis loops for the Er magnetization, at temperatures T < 200 K, reveal a switching behavior with a single type of irreversible switch correspondi

Pauling had proposed that charge is transferred from the more electronegative atom to the less electronegative one during metallic alloying. An expression has recently been derived for the energy of the unlike atom-pair bond using that concept. In this paper, Pauling&#39;s view is further supported by showing that the electronegativity and valence difference

We study the consequences of identifying the &#39;electron density parameter&#39; N of Miedema et al. as the accurate valence of metallic elements. The incorporation of these as valence in Pauling&#39;s scheme for the electronic structure of transition metals, predicts, for the first time, that the electrical conductivity of transition metals would decrease

We show that the isomorphism problem is solvable in the class of central extensions of word-hyperbolic groups, and that the isomorphism problem for biautomatic groups reduces to that for biautomatic groups with finite centre. We describe an algorithm that, given an arbitrary finite presentation of an automatic group $Γ$, will construct explicit finite models

In this paper we study the spheroidal cases of static charged fluid configurations in general relativity. We consider the effect of the anisotropic stresses of electromagnetic field on the shape of static charged self-graviting objects. It is shown that electromagnetic fields can have significant effect on the structure and properties of self-graviting objec

In this paper, we deals with isoperimetric-type inequalities for closed convex curves in the Euclidean plane R^2.

Sufficient energy resolution is the key issue for the calorimetry in particle and nuclear physics.

A generic saddle-node bifurcation is proposed to modelize fast transitions of finite amplitude arising in geophysical (and perhaps other) contexts, when they result from the intrinsic dynamics of the system. The fast transition is generically preceded by a precursor phase which is less rapid, that we characterize. In this model, if an external source of nois

In regression analysis one wants to estimate the regression function from a data. In this paper we consider the rate of convergence for the nearest neighbor estimator in case that the regression function is $(p,C)$-smooth. It is an open problem whether the optimal rate can be achieved by some nearest neighbor estimator in case that $p$ is on (1,1.5]. We solv

In this review, we present our recent computational work on carbon-based nanostructured composites. These materials consist of carbon crystallites embedded in an amorphous carbon matrix and are modeled here through classical and semi-empirical quantum-mechanical simulations. We investigate the energetics, mechano-elastic, and optoelectronic properties of the

Quite recently, McDuff showed that the existence of a symplectic embedding of one four-dimensional ellipsoid into another can be established by comparing their corresponding sequences of ECH capacities. In this note we show that these sequences can be encoded in a generating function, which gives several new equivalent formulations of McDuff&#39;s theorem.

We investigate the gas jet breakup and the resulting microbubble formation in a microfluidic flow-focusing device using ultra high-speed imaging at 1 million frames/s. In recent experiments [Dollet et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 034504 (2008)] it was found that in the final stage of the collapse the radius of the neck scales with time with a 1/3 power-law exp

Low-temperature specific heat of the monolayer high-Tc superconductor Bi_2Sr_{2-x}La_xCuO_{6+δ} has been measured close to the optimal doping point (x ~ 0.4) in different magnetic fields. The identification of both a T^2 term in zero field and a \sqrt{H} dependence of the specific heat in fields is shown to follow the theoretical prediction for d-wave pairin

Ultrathin MgB2 superconducting films with a thickness down to 7.5 nm are epitaxially grown on (0001) Al2O3 substrate by hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition method. The films are phase-pure, oxidation-free and continuous. The 7.5 nm thin film shows a Tc(0) of 34 K, which is so far the highest Tc(0) reported in MgB2 with the same thickness. The critical

In this paper we report a new sol-gel method for the fabrication of MgB2 films. Polycrystalline MgB2 films were prepared by spin-coating a precursor solution of Mg(BH_4)_2 diethyl ether on (001)Al2O3 substrates followed with annealing in Mg vapor. In comparison with the MgB2 films grown by other techniques, our films show medium qualities including a superco

Coherence dynamics of two-species Bose-Einstein condensates in double wells is investigated in mean field approximation. We show that the system can exhibit decoherence phenomena even without the condensate-environment coupling and the variation tendency of the degree of coherence depends on not only the parameters of the system but also the initial states.

The anisotropic properties of an optimally doped Nd_{1.85}Ce_{0.15}CuO_{4-δ} single crystal have been studied both below and above the critical temperature Tc via the resistivity measurement in magnetic field H up to 12 T. By scaling the conductivity fluctuation around the superconducting transition, the upper critical field H_{c2}(T) has been determined for

We introduce a differential structure for the space of weakly geometric p rough paths over a Banach space V for 2<p<3. We begin by considering a certain natural family of smooth rough paths and differentiating in the truncated tensor series. The resulting object has a clear interpretation, even for non-smooth rough paths, which we take to be an element of th

We revisit the hybrid inflation model focusing on the dynamics of the waterfall field in an analytical way. It is shown that inflation may last long enough during the waterfall regime for some parameter regions, confirming the claim of Clesse. In this case the scalar spectral index becomes red, and can fall into the best fit range of the WMAP observation.

In this talk, we report our recent studies on an effective thermodynamic potential (Omega_eff) at finite temperature (T>0) and zero quark-chemical potential (mu_R=0), using the singular-gauge instanton solution and Matsubara formula for N_c=3 and N_f=2 in the chiral limit, i.e. m_q=0. The momentum-dependent constituent-quark mass is computed as a function of

Background: Human populations during the last 10,000 years have undergone rapid decreases in average brain size as measured by endocranial volume or as estimated from linear measurements of the cranium. A null hypothesis to explain the evolution of brain size is that reductions result from genetic correlation of brain size with body mass or stature. Results:

We utilize a chemical equilibrium code in order to study the condensation process which occurs in protoplanetary discs during the formation of the first solids. The model specifically focuses on the thermodynamic behaviour on the solid species assuming the regular solution model. For each solution, we establish the relationship between the activity of the sp

We report nano-scale mechanical heterogeneity of a metallic glass characterized by dynamic atomic force microscopy. Apparent energy dissipation with the variation of ~12%, originating from non-uniform distribution of local viscoelasticity, was characterized. The correlation length of heterogeneous viscoelasticity was measured to be ~2.5{\pm}0.3 nm, which is

We study the zeros sets of functions in the Dirichlet space. Using Carleson formula for Dirichlet integral, we obtain some new families of zero sets. We also show that any closed subset of $E \subset \TT$ with logarithmic capacity zero is the accumulation points of the zeros of a function in the Dirichlet space. The zeros satisfy a growth restriction which d

This paper studies existence and uniqueness of solutions to generalized Volterra integral equations. Since our proof for existence and uniqueness does not make use of Banach fixed point theorem unlike the previous papers focused on this subject, we can replace continuity property of the kernel function with the weaker one rd-continuity.

This paper presents an information theory based detection framework for covert channels.

Non-interference, in transitive or intransitive form, is defined here over unbounded (Place/Transition) Petri nets. The definitions are adaptations of similar, well-accepted definitions introduced earlier in the framework of labelled transition systems. The interpretation of intransitive non-interference which we propose for Petri nets is as follows. A Petri

We conclude that nucleon is a many body complex system whose low-energy behaviour is determined mainly by strong interaction. Non-perturbative approach to QCD, such as QCD sum rule and the QCD based effective theory, and the models such as a statistical model, have a complementary role in exposing different aspects of nucleonic properties.

Decoherence of quantum objects in noisy environments is important in quantum sciences and technologies. It is generally believed that different processes coupled to the same noise source should have similar decoherence behaviors and stronger noises would cause faster decoherence.

A poset is {\it $(\3+\1)$-free} if it contains no induced subposet isomorphic to the disjoint union of a 3-element chain and a 1-element chain. These posets are of interest because of their connection with interval orders and their appearance in the $(\3+\1)$-free Conjecture of Stanley and Stembridge. The dimension 2 posets $P$ are exactly the ones which hav

Combined with all density-dependent factors, the per capita growth rate of a species may be non-monotonic. One important consequence is that species may suffer from weak Allee effects or strong Allee effects. In this paper, we study the permanence of a discrete-time two-species-interaction model with non-monotonic per capita growth rates for the first time.

Reinforcement learning has solid foundations, but becomes inefficient in partially observed (non-Markovian) environments. Thus, a learning agent -born with a representation and a policy- might wish to investigate to what extent the Markov property holds.

Operations of arbitrary arity expressible via addition modulo 2^n and bitwise addition modulo 2 admit a simple description. The identities connecting these two additions have finite basis. Moreover, the universal algebra with these two operations is rationally equivalent to a nilpotent ring and, therefore, generates a Specht variety.

Besides the complexity in time or in number of messages, a common approach for analyzing distributed algorithms is to look at the assumptions they make on the underlying network.

To a pair of subspaces wandering with respect to a row isometry we associate a transfer function which in general is multi-Toeplitz and in interesting special cases is multi-analytic. Then we describe in an expository way how characteristic functions from operator theory as well as transfer functions from noncommutative Markov chains fit into this scheme.

Given a numerical semigroup $S = < a_1, a_2,..., a_t>$ and $s\in S$, we consider the factorization $s = c_1 a_1 + c_2 a_2 +... + c_t a_t$ where $c_i\ge0$. Such a factorization is {\em maximal} if $c_1+c_2+...+c_t$ is a maximum over all such factorizations of $s$. We show that the number of maximal factorizations, varying over the elements in $S$, is always b

The models include the bosonized chiral Schwinger model, the generalized chiral Schwinger model (GCSM) and its gauge invariant formulation. We esta

In this article, we assume that there exists a pseudoscalar $D_s{\bar D}_{s0}(2317)$ molecular state and study its mass with the molecule-type interpolating current in details using the QCD sum rules. The numerical result disfavors identifying the charmonium-like state Y(4274) as the $D_s{\bar D}_{s0}(2317)$ molecule.

One of the central problems in the classification of individual test sequences (e.g. genetic analysis), is that of checking for the similarity of sample test sequences as compared with a set of much longer training sequences. This is done by a set of classifiers for test sequences of length N, where each of the classifiers is trained by the training sequence

Global symmetries play an important role in classifying the spectrum of a gauge theory. In the context of the AdS/CFT duality, global baryon-like symmetries are specially interesting. In the gravity side, they correspond to vector fields in AdS arising from KK reduction of the SUGRA p-form potentials. We concentrate on the AdS_4/CFT_3 case, which presents ve

We demonstrate the existence of fundamental and dipole interface solitons in one-dimensional thermal nonlinear media with a step in linear refractive index. Fundamental interface solitons are found to be always stable and the stability of dipole interface solitons depends on the difference in linear refractive index. The mass center of interface solitons alw

Bilayer graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edge is investigated with the tight binding model. Two stacking structures, alpha and beta, are considered. The band splitting is seen in the alpha structure, while the splitting in the wave number direction is found in the beta structure. The local density of states in the beta structure tend to avoid sites where inte

Ultraviolet (UV), optical and near infrared (NIR) observations of the type IIP supernova (SN) 2007od are presented, covering from the maximum light to the late phase, allowing to investigate in detail different physical phenomena in the expanding ejecta. These data turn this object into one of the most peculiar IIP ever studied. The early light curve of SN 2

We develop a new approach for the p-adic Simpson correspondence, closely related to the original approach of Faltings, but also inspired by the work of Ogus and Vologodsky on an analogue in characteristic p>0. This first article is devoted to the local aspects of the theory.

In this paper we give two proofs of the mass formula for definite central division algebras over global function fields, due to Denert and Van Geel. The first proof is based on a calculation of Tamagawa measures. The second proof is based on analytic methods, in which we establish the relationship directly between the mass and the value of the associated zet
