In this paper we analyze the action of a quasiconvex subgroup of F_m x Z^n on the convex hull of its orbit and we show that this action is cocompact. Further, using our techniques, we obtain complete description of the quasiconvex subgroups of F_m x Z^n.

A search for microscopic black holes has been performed in a same-sign dimuon final state using 1.3 fb^-1 of proton-proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model and the results are used to derive e

In the paper [Probab. Theory Relat. Fields, 100 (1994) 417-428] Xue-Mei Li has shown that the moment stability of an SDE is closely connected with the topology of the underlying manifold. In particular, she gave sufficient condition on SDE on a manifold $M$ under which the fundamental group $π_1 M=0$. We prove that in fact under the similar conditions the ma

This is a condensed form of the author's essay, which can be found at [arXiv:1105.2883]. We prove that the entropic measure constructed by von Renesse-Sturm over Wasserstein space on the unit interval (probability measures on the unit interval equipped with the 2-Wasserstein metric) does not admit generalized Ricci lower bounds in the sense of Lott-Villa

Forthcoming projects such as DES, LSST, WFIRST, and Euclid aim to measure weak lensing shear correlations with unprecedented precision, constraining the dark energy equation of state at the percent level. Reliance on photometrically-determined redshifts constitutes a major source of uncertainty for these surveys. Additionally, interpreting the weak lensing s

We report the discovery of a ferroelectric ground state below 4.5 K in highly underdoped La_2CuO_(4+x) accompanied by slow charge dynamics which develop below T~40 K. An anisotropic magnetoelectric response has also been observed, indicating considerable spin-charge coupling in this lightly doped "parent" high temperature copper-oxide superconductor.

We classify the cohomology classes of Lagrangian 4-planes $¶^4$ in a smooth manifold $X$ deformation equivalent to a Hilbert scheme of 4 points on a $K3$ surface, up to the monodromy action. Classically, the cone of effective curves on a $K3$ surface $S$ is generated by nonegative classes $C$, for which $(C,C)\geq0$, and nodal classes $C$, for which $(C,C)=-

We analyse numerically the linear stability of a liquid metal flow in a rectangular duct with perfectly electrically conducting walls subject to a uniform transverse magnetic field. A non-standard three dimensional vector stream function/vorticity formulation is used with Chebyshev collocation method to solve the eigenvalue problem for small-amplitude pertur

We propose an adaptive diffusion mechanism to optimize a global cost function in a distributed manner over a network of nodes. The cost function is assumed to consist of a collection of individual components. Diffusion adaptation allows the nodes to cooperate and diffuse information in real-time; it also helps alleviate the effects of stochastic gradient noi

Human dynamics is known to be inhomogeneous and bursty but the detailed understanding of the role of human factors in bursty dynamics is still lacking. In order to investigate their role we devise an agent-based model, where an agent in an uncertain situation tries to reduce the uncertainty by communicating with information providers while having to wait tim

We study the relationship between coronal X-ray emission and stellar age for late-type stars, and the variation of this relationship with spectral type. We select 717 stars from 13 open clusters and find that the ratio of X-ray to bolometric luminosity during the saturated phase of coronal emission decreases from 10^-3.1 for late K-dwarfs to 10^-4.3 for earl

In previous papers we determined necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a class of natural Hamiltonians with non-trivial first integrals of arbitrarily high degree in the momenta. Such Hamiltonians were characterized as (n+1)-dimensional extensions of n-dimensional Hamiltonians on constant-curvature (pseudo-)Riemannian manifolds Q. In this

These notes are a self-contained introduction to the use of dynamical and probabilistic methods in the study of hyperbolic groups. Most of this material is standard; however some of the proofs given are new, and some results are proved in greater generality than have appeared in the literature. These notes originated in a minicourse given at a workshop in Me

We investigate the formation of RE galaxies (i.e. of collisional ring galaxies with an empty ring), with N-body/SPH simulations. The simulations employ a recipe for star formation (SF) and feedback that has been shown to be crucial to produce realistic galaxies in a cosmological context. We show that RE galaxies can form via off-centre collisions (i.e. with

We present a cosmic string on a warped five dimensional space time in Einstein-Yang-Mills theory. Four-dimensional cosmic strings show some serious problems concerning the mechanism of string smoothing related to the string mass per unit length, $Gμ\approx 10^{-6}$. A warped cosmic string could overcome this problem and also the superstring requirement that

AGILE pointed observations performed from July 9, 2007 to October 30, 2009 cover a very large time interval, with a γ-ray dataset useful to perform studies of medium to high brightness galactic sources in the 30 MeV -- 50 GeV energy range. We present a study of the 1AGL galactic sources in the E > 100 MeV band, over the complete Agile pointed Observation Blo

We present the analysis of a local (z = 0.04 - 0.2) sample of 31 galaxy clusters with the aim of measuring the density of the X-ray emitting gas in cluster outskirts. We compare our results with numerical simulations to set constraints on the azimuthal symmetry and gas clumping in the outer regions of galaxy clusters. We exploit the large field-of-view and l

We compute all Hirzebruch invariants $χ_q$ for $D_5$, $E_6$, $E_7$ and $E_8$ elliptic fibrations of every dimension. A single generating series $χ(t,y)$ is produced for each family of fibrations such that the coefficient of $t^{k}y^{q}$ encodes $χ_q$ over a base of dimension $k$, solely in terms of invariants of the base of the fibration.

Particles that are heavy compared to the electroweak scale ($M \gg m_W$), and that are charged under electroweak SU(2) gauge interactions display universal properties such as a characteristic fine structure in the mass spectrum induced by electroweak symmetry breaking, and an approximately universal cross section for scattering on nuclear targets. The heavy

We recapitulate the scheme of emergent gravity to highlight how a background independent quantum gravity can be defined by quantizing spacetime itself.

We present three-dimensional kinematics of Sagittarius (Sgr) trailing tidal debris in six fields located 70-130 degrees along the stream from the Sgr dwarf galaxy core. The data are from our proper-motion (PM) survey of Kapteyn's Selected Areas, in which we have measured accurate PMs to faint magnitudes in 40x40 arcmin fields evenly spaced across the sky

We report a highly unusual temperature dependence in the magnetoresistance of a weakly interacting high mobility 2D electron gas (2DEG) under a parallel magnetic field and when the current is perpendicular to the field. While the linear temperature dependence below 10 K and the exponential temperature dependence above 40 K agree with existing theory of elect

We have obtained deep, high spatial and spectral resolution, long-slit spectra of the Halpha nebulae in the cool cores of 9 galaxy clusters. This sample provides a wealth of information on the ionization state, kinematics, and reddening of the warm gas in the cool cores of galaxy clusters. We find evidence for only small amounts of reddening in the extended,

We prove an explicit formula for the truncated Atiyah class of a bounded complex of vector bundles. Furthermore, we show that the first truncated Chern class of such a complex only depends on its determinant.

We present the results of 2.5 years of AGILE observations of PSR B1509-58 and of the same interval of Fermi observations. The modulation significance of AGILE light curve above 30 MeV is at a 5 sigma confidence level and the light curve shows a broad asymmetric first peak reaching its maximum $0.39 \pm 0.02$ cycles after the radio peak plus a second peak at$

We present a new systematic method to evaluate one-loop tensor integrals in conventional ultraviolet cutoff regularization. By deriving a new recursive relation that describes the momentum translation variance of ultraviolet integrals, we implement this relation in the Passarino-Veltman reduction method. With this method, we recalculated the Higgs boson deca

The SiD collaboration is developing a Si-W sampling electromagnetic calorimeter, with anticipated application for the International Linear Collider. Assembling the modules for such a detector will involve special bonding technologies for the interconnections, especially for attaching a silicon detector wafer to a flex cable readout bus. We review the interco

The onset of superconductivity at the transition temperature is marked by the onset of order, which is characterized by an energy gap. Most models of the iron-based superconductors find a sign-changing (s\pm) order parameter [1-6], with the physical implication that pairing is driven by spin fluctuations. Recent work, however, has indicated that LiFeAs has a

Some active galactic nuclei (AGN) are surrounded by extended emission-line regions (EELRs), which trace both the illumination pattern of escaping radiation and its history over the light-travel time from the AGN to the gas. From a new set of such EELRs, we present evidence that the AGN in many Seyfert galaxies undergo luminous episodes 20,000-200,000 years i

We have investigated the magnetic phase diagram of a fully oxygenated detwinned YBa2Cu3O7 single crystal by means of a combination of a low-temperature thermal analysis (DTA) technique with a simultaneous application of a small oscillating magnetic field. We observed a dip-shaped feature in magneto-caloric data deep inside the vortex-solid region of YBa2Cu3O

Chiral Color is extended by incorporating Technicolor, which induces dynamical breaking of the Electroweak symmetry as well as Chiral Color to Quantum Chromodynamics. Gauge anomalies are cancelled by introducing two generations of technifermions, and the fourth generation of quarks and leptons is required. Each technifermion generation is coupled to only two

We study the de Rham fundamental group of the configuration space $E^{(n)}$ of $n+1$ marked points on an elliptic curve $E$, and define multiple elliptic polylogarithms. These are multivalued functions on $E^{(n)}$ with unipotent monodromy, and are constructed by a general averaging procedure. We show that all iterated integrals on $E^{(n)}$, and in particul

In this article we continue from \cite{sub2-1} the study of normal analytic compactifications of $\cc^2$ from the point of view of their associated pencils of jets of curve germs centered at infinity. If $\bar X$ is a normal analytic compactification of $\cc^2$ which is {\em primitive}, i.e.\ $\bar X \setminus \cc^2$ is irreducible curve, then we show that $

In this work we consider fermionic zero modes in the external scalar and electromagnetic field forming the vortex on a sphere. We find the correspondence between the equations for the fermions in different dimensions, find their explicit expressions through the vortex fields in case of massless fermions, asymptotics near the poles in case of massive fermions

In a light-pulse atom interferometer, we use a tip-tilt mirror to remove the influence of the Coriolis force from Earth's rotation and to characterize configuration space wave packets. For interferometers with large momentum transfer and large pulse separation time, we improve the contrast by up to 350% and suppress systematic effects. We also reach what

Using a new technique to directly detect current induced on a nearby electrode, we measure plasma oscillations in ultracold plasmas, which are influenced by the inhomogeneous and time-varying density and changing neutrality. Electronic detection avoids heating and evaporation dynamics associated with previous measurements and allows us to test the importance

Luigi Martina

Inspired by the geometrical methods allowing the introduction of mechanical systems confined in the plane and endowed with exotic galilean symmetry, we resort to the Lagrange-Souriau 2-form formalism, in order to look for a wide class of 3D systems, involving not commuting and/or not canonical variables, but possessing geometric as well gauge symmetries in p

We study normal analytic compactifications of C^2 and describe their singularities and configuration of curves at infinity, in particular improving and generalizing results of (Brenton, Math. Ann. 206:303--310, 1973). As a by product we give new proofs of Jung's theorem on polynomial automorphisms of C^2 and Remmert and Van de Ven's result that CP^2

Extending investigations of Antman & Malek-Madani, Schecter & Shearer, Slemrod, Barker & Lewicka & Zumbrun, and others, we investigate phase-transitional elasticity models of strain-gradient effect. We prove the existence of non-constant planar periodic standing waves in these models with strain-gradient effects by variational methods and phase-plane analysi

We consider one dimensional quantum Ising spin-1/2 chains with two-valued nearest neighbor couplings arranged in a quasi-periodic sequence, with uniform, transverse magnetic field. By employing the Jordan-Wigner transformation of the spin operators to spinless fermions, the energy spectrum can be computed exactly on a finite lattice. By employing the transfe

Existence of a mirror world in the universe is a fundamental way to restore the observed parity violation in weak interactions and provides the lightest mirror nucleon as a unique GeV-scale dark matter particle candidate. The visible and mirror worlds share the same spacetime of the universe and are connected by a unique space-inversion symmetry -- the mirro

Observations of the supernova remnant G22.7-0.2 in the field of view of W41 with the H.E.S.S. telescope array have resulted in evidence for a very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the direction of the object. The emission region is spatially coincident with molecular clouds visible in 13CO data, suggesting a hadronic origin of the TeV emission, alth

We present a set of high-probability inequalities that control the concentration of weighted averages of multiple (possibly uncountably many) simultaneously evolving and interdependent martingales. Our results extend the PAC-Bayesian analysis in learning theory from the i.i.d. setting to martingales opening the way for its application to importance weighted

We answer a question of R. J. Mathar and confirm that the counting sequence for $\bar{2}413\bar{5}$-avoiding permutations is the Invert transform of the Bell numbers. The proof relies on a simple decomposition of these permutations and the known fact that $\bar{2}413$-avoiding permutations are counted by the Bell numbers.

Borrowing techniques from cosmology, I compute the power spectrum of quantum fluctuations in (2+1)-dimensional causal dynamical triangulations, a promising discrete path integral approach to quantum gravity. The results agree with those of canonical quantization to a high degree of precision, providing strong evidence for the equivalence of the two approache

The detection of point sources in Cosmic Microwave Background maps is usually based on a single-frequency approach, whereby maps at each frequency are filtered separately and the spectral information on the sources is derived combining the results at the different frequencies. On the contrary, in the case of multi-frequency detection methods, source detectio

Aleksandra Franc, Petar Pavešić

We introduce fibrewise Whitehead- and fibrewise Ganea definitions of monoidal topological complexity. We then define several lower bounds for the topological complexity, which improve on the standard lower bound in terms of nilpotency of the cohomology ring. The relationships between these lower bounds are studied.

The Causal Dynamical Triangulation (CDT) approach to quantum gravity is a lattice approximation to the gravitational path integral. Developed by Ambjørn, Jurkiewicz and Loll, it has yielded some important results, notably the emergence of classical spacetime and short scale dimensional reduction. However, virtually all the results reported so far have been b

We derive quantitative relations among several naturally defined measures of classical and nonclassical correlations in a bipartite quantum state. We also obtain an upper bound of entanglement irreversibility and a sufficient condition for reversible entanglement. The additivity of entanglement of formation is directly related to the additivity of quantum di

Let F/Q be a totally real field extension of degree g and let D be a definite quaternion algebra with center F. Fix an odd prime p which is unramified in F and D. We produce weight shiftings between (mod p) automorphic forms on the multiplicative group of D having fixed level. When the starting weight does not contain any (2,...,2)-block, we obtain these shi

A path integral measure for gravity should also preserve the fundamental symmetry of general relativity, which is diffeomorphism symmetry. In previous work, we argued that a successful implementation of this symmetry into discrete quantum gravity models would imply discretization independence. We therefore consider the requirement of triangulation independen

We discuss conformal field theories (CFTs) in rectangular geometries, and develop a formalism that involves a conformal boundary state for the 1+1d open system. We focus on the case of homogeneous boundary conditions (no insertion of a boundary condition changing operator), for which we derive an explicit expression of the associated boundary state, valid fo

We determine Lambda_msbar for QCD with n_f=2 dynamical quark flavors by fitting the Q-Q-bar static potential known analytically in the perturbative regime up to terms of O(alpha_s^4) and ~alpha_s^4 ln(alpha_s) to corresponding results obtained from lattice simulations. This has become possible, due to recent advances in both perturbative calculations, namely

We present a study of the magnetoresistance and Hall effect in the narrow-gap semiconductor FeSb2 at low temperatures. Both the electrical and Hall resistivities show unusual magnetic field dependence in the low-temperature range where a large Seebeck coefficient was observed. By applying a two-carrier model, we find that the carrier concentration decreases

Measurements of black hole spin made using the continuum-fitting method rely on the assumption that the inclination of the black hole's spin axis to our line of sight is the same as the orbital inclination angle of the host binary system. The X=ray and radio jet data available for the microquasar XTE J1550-564 offer a rare opportunity to test this assump

The spin Hall effect (SHE) generates spin currents within nonmagnetic materials. Previously, studies of the SHE have been motivated primarily to understand its fundamental origin and magnitude. Here we demonstrate, using measurement and modeling, that in a Pt/Co bilayer with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy the SHE can produce a spin transfer torque that is

We are doubtlessly familiar with some edition of Jackson's tome on electrodynamics, and Schwinger's calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron in QED. From the perspective of strong interactions, however, electromagnetic effects usually amount to negligible contributions. Despite this fact, electromagnetic probes have always been a

The mid-rapidity charged particle multiplicities in pp and AA collisions at LHC energies are described in the framework of a generalized eikonal model with shadowing corrections incorporated in AA. We show that the pp data require a Pomeron intercept close to 1.2, higher than the conventional one close to 1.1. An $s^{0.11}$ energy dependence is obtained in t

Motivated by the recent observations on sterile neutrinos, we present a minimal extension of the canonical type-I seesaw by adding one extra singlet fermion. After the decoupling of right-handed neutrinos, an eV-scale mass eigenstate is obtained without the need of artificially inserting tiny mass scales or Yukawa couplings for sterile neutrinos. In particul

Resonant P-wave interactions can be described by a minimal zero-range model defined by a truncated effective range expansion, so that the only 2-body interaction parameters are the inverse scattering volume 1/a_P and the P-wave effective range r_P. This minimal model can be formulated as a local quantum field theory with a P-wave interaction between atom fie

We give an explicit construction of the antiequivalence of the category of finite flat commutative group schemes of period 2 defined over the valuation ring of a 2-adic field with algebraically closed residue field. This result extends the earlier author's approach to group schemes of period p>2 from Proceedings of LMS, 101, 2010, 207-259.

We study the conductivity and shear viscosity tensors of a strongly coupled N=4 super-Yang-Mills plasma which is kept anisotropic by a theta parameter that depends linearly on one of the spatial dimensions. Its holographic dual is given by an anisotropic axion-dilaton-gravity background and has recently been proposed by Mateos and Trancanelli as a model for

We investigate fat Hoffman graphs with smallest eigenvalue at least -3, using their special graphs. We show that the special graph S(H) of an indecomposable fat Hoffman graph H is represented by the standard lattice or an irreducible root lattice. Moreover, we show that if the special graph admits an integral representation, that is, the lattice spanned by i

We study the percolation transition of the geometrical clusters in the square lattice LCCC model (a kinetic opinion exchange model introduced by Lallouache et al. in Phys. Rev.

We analyze the temperature dependence of CP violation effects in the Standard Model by determining the effective action of its bosonic fields, obtained after integrating out the fermions from the theory and performing a covariant gradient expansion. We find non-vanishing CP violating terms starting at the sixth order of the expansion, albeit only in the C od

As the number of possible predictors generated by high-throughput experiments continues to increase, methods are needed to quickly screen out unimportant covariates. Model-based screening methods have been proposed and theoretically justified, but only for a few specific models. Model-free screening methods have also recently been studied, but can have lower

Let A be a complex abelian variety and G its Mumford--Tate group. Supposing that the simple abelian subvarieties of A are pairwise non-isogenous, we find a lower bound for the rank of G, which is a little less than log_2 dim A. If we suppose that End A is commutative, then we show that rk G >= log_2 dim A + 2, and this latter bound is sharp. We also obtain t

This tutorial is devoted to review the modern tools of quantum mechanics, which are suitable to describe states, measurements, and operations of realistic, not isolated, systems in interaction with their environment, and with any kind of measuring and processing devices.

To explore the limits of layer wound (RE)Ba2Cu3O7-x (REBCO, RE = Rare Earth) coils in a high magnetic field environment > 30 T, a series of small insert coils have been built and characterized in background fields. One of the coils repeatedly reached 35.4 T using a single ~100 m length of REBCO tape wet wound with epoxy and nested in a 31 T background magnet

In this article, we carry out the investigation for regular sequences of symmetric polynomials in the polynomial ring in three and four variable. Any two power sum element in $\mathbb{C}[x_1,x_2,...,x_n]$ for $n \geq 3$ always form a regular sequence and we state the conjecture when $p_a,p_b,p_c$ for given positive integers $a<b<c$ forms a regular sequence i

Consider a quantum particle trapped between a curved layer of constant width built over a complete, non-compact, $\mathcal C^2$ smooth surface embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We assume that the surface is asymptotically flat in the sense that the second fundamental form vanishes at infinity, and that the surface is not totally geodesic. This geometric setting is

We establish lower semi-continuity and strict convexity of the energy functionals for a large class of vector equilibrium problems in logarithmic potential theory. This in particular implies the existence and uniqueness of a minimizer for such vector equilibrium problems. Our work extends earlier results in that we allow unbounded supports without having str

We study the long-time behavior of decoupled continuous-time random walks characterized by superheavy-tailed distributions of waiting times and symmetric heavy-tailed distributions of jump lengths. Our main quantity of interest is the limiting probability density of the position of the walker multiplied by a scaling function of time. We show that the probabi

In this paper we provide an extension of the theory of descent of Ginzburg-Rallis- Soudry to the context of essentially self-dual representations, that is representations which are isomorphic to the twist of their own contragredient by some Hecke character. Our theory supplements the recent work of Asgari-Shahidi on the functorial lift from (split and quasis

We propose a theoretical approach for the interpretation of pump-probe measurements where an attosecond pulse is absorbed in the presence of an intense laser pulse. This approach is based on abstractly defined dressed bound states, which capture the essential aspects of the interaction with the laser pulse and facilitate a perturbative description of transit

We develop a time-dependent nonequilibrium Green function (NEGF) approach to the problem of spin pumping by precessing magnetization in one of the ferromagnetic layers within F/I/F magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) or F/I/N semi-MTJs in the presence of intrinsic Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) at the F/I interface or the extrinsic SOC in the bulk of F layers

Let $R(n,k)$ denote the number of permutations of ${1,2,...,n}$ with $k$ alternating runs. In this note we present an explicit formula for the numbers $R(n,k)$.

We derive an analytical expression for the distribution of the k-th smallest Dirac eigenvalue in QCD with imaginary isospin chemical potential in the Dirac operator. Because of its dependence on the pion decay constant F through the chemical potential in the epsilon-regime of chiral perturbation theory this can be used for lattice determinations of that low-

The purpose of this paper is to show that the third unramified cohomology with divisible coefficients of a smooth projective geometrically rational threefold over a finite field must vanish under $\Z_{\ell}$-exactness Hard Lefschetz condition.

We study spatial multimode quantum memories based on light storage in extended ensembles of Lambda-type atoms. We show that such quantum light-matter interfaces allow for highly efficient storage of many spatial modes. In particular, forward operating memories possess excellent scaling with the important physical parameters: quadratic scaling with the Fresne

For the first time the potential energy surfaces of actinide nuclei in the $(β_{20}, β_{22}, β_{30})$ deformation space are obtained from a multi-dimensional constrained covariant density functional theory. With this newly developed theory we are able to explore the importance of the triaxial and octupole shapes simultaneously along the whole fission path. I

Usually, the topology of a 4-manifolds $M$ is restricted to admit a global hyperbolic structure $Σ\times\mathbb{R}$. The result was obtained by using two conditions: existence of a Lorentz structure and causality (no time-like closed curves). In this paper we study the influence of the smoothness structure to show its independence of the two conditions. Then

For the classical space of functions with bounded mean oscillation, it is well known that VMO** = BMO and there are many characterizations of the distance from a function f in BMO to VMO. When considering the Bloch space, results in the same vein are available with respect to the little Bloch space. In this paper such duality results and distance formulas ar

The Kerr-Newman solution with negative mass is shown to develop a massless ring singularity off the symmetry axis. The singularity is located inside the region with closed timelike curves which has topology of a torus and lies outside the ergoregion. These characteristics are also shared by the charged Tomimatsu-Sato delta=2 solution with negative total mass

In terms of the hypergeometric method, we give the extensions of two known series for $π$. Further, other twenty-nine summation formulas for $π$, $π^2$ and $1/π$ with free parameters are also derived in the same way.

We analyse the entanglement and the non-locality of a (1+1)-dimensional massless Dirac field confined to a cavity on a worldtube that consists of inertial and uniformly accelerated segments, for small accelerations but arbitrarily long travel times. The correlations between the accelerated field modes and the modes in an inertial reference cavity are periodi

We develop a new tool for data-dependent analysis of the exploration-exploitation trade-off in learning under limited feedback. Our tool is based on two main ingredients. The first ingredient is a new concentration inequality that makes it possible to control the concentration of weighted averages of multiple (possibly uncountably many) simultaneously evolvi

The BCS theory models electron correlations with pure zero-momentum pairs. Here we consider a family of pairing Hamiltonians, where the electron correlations are modelled with pure arbitrary-momentum pairs. We find all models in the family are exactly solvable, and present these solutions. It is interesting to note that the $η$ pair or the $d$ -wave pair con

We incorporate explicit Nystrom methods into the RKQ algorithm for stepwise global error control in numerical solutions of initial-value problems. The initial-value problem is transformed into an explicitly second-order problem, so as to be suitable for Nystrom integration. The Nystrom methods used are fourth-order, fifth-order and 10th-order. Two examples d

Nanodiamond exhibits unpaired electrons in magnetization, EPR, NMR and Auger relaxation. Wave functions and eigenenergies of a bound electron in a nanodiamond crystal have been calculated. It has been proved by using quantum mechanical analysis that unpaired electrons are self-condition of a nanodiamond as a limited crystal according to Tamm theory of surfac

The octahedron model introduced recently has been implemented onto graphics cards, which permits extremely large scale simulations via binary lattice gases and bit coded algorithms. We confirm scaling behaviour belonging to the 2d Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class and find a surface growth exponent: beta=0.2415(15) on 2^17 x 2^17 systems, ruling out bet

A study of the formation of excitons as a problem of two Dirac particles confined in two-layer graphene sheets separated by a dielectric when gaps are opened and they interact via a Coulomb potential is presented. We propose to observe Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity of quasi-two-dimensional dipole excitons in double layer graphene in the presen

The expansion of the fireball created in Au-Au collisions at 200 GeV is described in (3+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamics with shear and bulk viscosities. We present results for the transverse momentum spectra, the directed and elliptic flow and the interferometry radii.

Real and virtual contributions to the quark-initiated forward jet vertex in QCD are calculated at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy using Lipatov&#39;s effective action, valid in the high energy multi-Regge limit. A regularization of longitudinal divergencies is proposed which allows for the determination of jet observables. Agreement with previous result

The binary perfect phylogeny model is too restrictive to model biological events such as back mutations. In this paper we consider a natural generalization of the model that allows a special type of back mutation. We investigate the problem of reconstructing a near perfect phylogeny over a binary set of characters where characters are persistent: characters

An algorithm to compute the set of prime implicates of a quantifier-free clausal formula X in first order logic had been presented in earlier work. As the knowledge base X is dynamic, new clauses are added to the old knowledge base. In this paper an incremental algorithm is presented to compute the prime implicates of X and a clause C from $π(X)\cup C$. The

An inaccessible cardinal $κ$ is supercompact when $(κ, λ)$-ITP holds for all $λ\geq κ.$ We prove that if there is a model of $\ZFC$ with two supercompact cardinals, then there is a model of \ZFC where simultaneously $(\aleph_2, μ)$-ITP and $(\aleph_3, μ&#39;)$-ITP hold, for all $μ\geq \aleph_2$ and $μ&#39;\geq \aleph_3.$
