When people explore and manage information, they think in terms of topics and themes. However, the software that supports information exploration sees text at only the surface level. In this paper we show how topic modeling -- a technique for identifying latent themes across large collections of documents -- can support semantic exploration. We present Topic

Let G be a locally compact, Hausdorff groupoid in which s is a local homeomorphism and the unit space is totally disconnected. Assume there is a continuous cocycle c from G into a discrete group $Γ$. We show that the collection A(G) of locally-constant, compactly supported functions on G is a dense *-subalgebra of C_c(G) and that it is universal for algebrai

Topological insulator edges and spin-orbit-coupled quantum wires in proximity to s-wave super- conductors can be tuned through a topological quantum phase transition by a Zeeman field. Here we show that a supercurrent flowing in the s-wave superconductor also drives such a transition. We propose to use this new mechanism to generate and manipulate Majorana f

A model-independent analysis of decays of the form C -> l+ l- A (l=e,mu) is presented, including the possibility that this three-body decay is preceded by an additional decay step D -> j C. Here A, C and D are heavy new-physics particles and j stands for a quark jet. It is assumed that A escapes direct detection in a collider experiment, so that one cannot k

The ATLAS inner detector is used to reconstruct secondary vertices due to hadronic interactions of primary collision products, so probing the location and amount of material in the inner region of ATLAS. Data collected in 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC, with a minimum bias trigger, are used for comparisons with simulated events. The reconstructed secondary v

The Okubo [2]-Weiss [3] criterion is recast by using the 2D hydrodynamic Beltrami condition (Shivamoggi et al.[13]) that approximates the slow flow-variation ansatz imposed in its derivation. This turns out to provide an interesting interpretation of the Okubo-Weiss criterion very logically in terms of the topological properties of the underlying vorticity m

Results of three searches are presented for the production of supersymmetric particles decaying into final states with missing transverse momentum and exactly two isolated leptons, e or mu. The analysis uses a data sample collected during the first half of 2011 that corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 1 fb^-1 of sqrt{s} = 7 TeV proton-proton coll

We illustrate with examples that quantum symmetry breakings in perturbation theory are connected to breakdown of momentum routing invariance (MRI) in the loops of a Feynman diagram. We show that MRI is a necessary and sufficient condition to preserve abelian gauge symmetry at arbitrary loop order. We adopt the implicit regularization framework in which surfa

What can be said about the spin of new particles without knowing their mass during an initial discovery phase at CERN? We consider this question in a topology where mass measurement is particularly difficult, $pp\to Y\bar{Y}\to lX\bar{l}\,\bar{X}$, and introduce two new variables $\ctv$ and $\Av$ which we prove are both independent of the mass of $X$. The va

We compare tools for complementing nondeterministic Büchi automata with a recent termination-analysis algorithm. Complementation of Büchi automata is a key step in program verification. Early constructions using a Ramsey-based argument have been supplanted by rank-based constructions with exponentially better bounds. In 2001 Lee et al. presented the size-cha

Existing and planned optical telescopes and surveys can detect artificially-illuminated objects comparable in total brightness to a major terrestrial city out to the outskirts of the Solar System. Orbital parameters of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) are routinely measured to exquisite precisions of <10^{-3}. Here we propose to measure the variation of the observ

We present the first results from a detailed analysis of photometric and spectrophotometric data on the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 335, collected over a 120-day span in the fall of 2010. From these data we measure the lag in the He II 4686 broad emission line relative to the optical continuum to be 2.7 \pm 0.6 days and the lag in the Hβ4861 broad emiss

We analyse galaxies in groups in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and find a weak but significant assembly-type bias, where old central galaxies have a higher clustering amplitude (61 $\pm$ 9 per cent) at scales > 1 Mpc than young central galaxies of equal host halo mass ($M_{h} \sim 10^{11.8} h^{-1}$ $M_{\odot}$). The observational sample is volume-limit

We examine the nHz gravitational wave (GW) foreground of stars and black holes (BHs) orbiting SgrA* in the Galactic Center. A cusp of stars and BHs generates a continuous GW spectrum below 40 nHz; individual BHs within 1 mpc to SgrA* stick out in the spectrum at higher GW frequencies. The GWs and gravitational near-field effects can be resolved by timing pul

For the four-dimensional SU(N) Euclidean Yang-Mills theory in the Landau gauge, we present two sets of gauge field configurations that satisfy the Euclidean equations of motion. These configurations generate four-dimensional chromo-field flux sheets whose spatial cross sections are three-dimensional chromo-field flux tubes. In lattice simulations, they may b

We introduce a &#34;water retention&#34; model for liquids captured on a random surface with open boundaries, and investigate it for both continuous and discrete surface heights 0, 1, ... n-1, on a square lattice with a square boundary. The model is found to have several intriguing features, including a non-monotonic dependence of the retention on the number

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a bi-Darboux Theorem on triplectic manifolds. Here triplectic manifolds are manifolds equipped with two compatible, jointly non-degenerate Poisson brackets with mutually involutive Casimirs, and with ranks equal to 2/3 of the manifold dimension. By definition bi-Darboux coordinates are common Darboux coordin

We study the metric aspect of the Moyal plane from Connes&#39; noncommutative geometry point of view. First, we compute Connes&#39; spectral distance associated with the natural isometric action of R^2 on the algebra of the Moyal plane A. We show that the distance between any state of A and any of its translated is precisely the amplitude of the translation.

We study the top pair production cross section at the LHC in the context of Randall-Sundrum model including the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excited gravitons. It is shown that the recent measurement of the cross section of this process at the LHC restricts the parameter space in Randall-Sundrum (RS) model considerably. We show that the coupling parameter ($\frac{k}{\b

We extend the usual chiral perturbation theory framework ($χ$PT) to allow the inclusion of a light dynamical isosinglet scalar. Using lattice QCD results, and a few phenomenological inputs, we explore the parameter space of the effective theory.

We prove that norm continuous derivations from a von Neumann algebra into the algebra of operators affiliated with its tensor square are automatically continuous for both the strong operator topology and the measure topology. Furthermore, we prove that the first continuous L^2-Betti number scales quadratically when passing to corner algebras and derive an up

We examine the constraints on models of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter from the recent observations of the Galactic center by the High Energy Spectroscopic System (HESS) telescope.

The lowest eigenmodes of the Dirac operator are related to the dynamical breaking of the chiral symmetry in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). In our work we construct quark propagators which exclude a varying number of the lowest Dirac eigenmodes and study the influence thereof on meson correlators and the meson spectrum. That procedure partially restores the ch

The spectrum of an infinite spinning string in AdS(5) does not precisely match the spectrum of dual gauge theory operators, interpolated to the strong coupling regime with the help of Bethe-ansatz equations. We show that the mismatch is due to interactions in the string sigma-model which cannot be neglected even at asymptotically large &#39;t Hooft coupling.

Alexander Berglund

We calculate the higher homotopy groups of the Deligne-Getzler infinity-groupoid associated to a nilpotent L-infinity algebra. As an application, we present a new approach to the rational homotopy theory of mapping spaces.

The usual method of solving the free particle Dirac equation results in the so called continuum energy solutions. Here, we take a different approach and find a set of solutions with quantized energies which are proportional to the total angular momentum.

This article concerns the dimension reduction in regression for large data set. We introduce a new method based on the sliced inverse regression approach, called cluster-based regularized sliced inverse regression.

The rotational bands in nuclei with $Z \approx 100$ are investigated systematically by using a cranked shell model (CSM) with the pairing correlations treated by a particle-number conserving (PNC) method, in which the blocking effects are taken into account exactly. By fitting the experimental single-particle spectra in these nuclei, a new set of Nilsson par

We propose a new detector concept, GraXe (to be pronounced as grace), to search for neutrinoless double beta decay in Xe-136. GraXe combines a popular detection medium in rare-event searches, liquid xenon, with a new, background-free material, graphene. In our baseline design of GraXe, a sphere made of graphene-coated titanium mesh and filled with liquid xen

In the CP-violating Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, we study the production of a neutralino-chargino pair at the LHC. For their decays into three leptons, we analyze CP asymmetries which are sensitive to the CP phases of the neutralino and chargino sector. We present analytical formulas for the entire production and decay process, and identify the CP-

We give a complete classification of meromorphically integrable homogeneous potentials $V$ of degree $-1$ which are real analytic on $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus \{0\}$. In the more general case when $V$ is only meromorphic on an open set of an algebraic variety, we give a classification of all integrable potentials having a Darboux point $c$ with $V&#39;(c)=-c,\;

There are at least a number of ways to formally define complexity. Most of them relate to some kind of minimal description of the studied object. Being this one in form of minimal resources of minimal effort needed to generate the object itself. This is usually achieved by detecting and taking advantage of regularities within the object. Regularities can com

Let $f_i\in C^{2+α}(S^1\setminus \{a_i,b_i\}), α>0, i=1,2$ be circle homeomorphisms with two break points $a_i,b_i$, i.e. discontinuities in the derivative $f_i$, with identical irrational rotation number $rho$ and $μ_1([a_1,b_1])= μ_2([a_2,b_2])$, where $μ_i$ are invariant measures of $f_i$.

We prove that, given a planar bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism $u$ defined on the boundary of the unit square, it is possible to extend it to a function $v$ of the whole square, in such a way that $v$ is still bi-Lipschitz. In particular, denoting by $L$ and $\widetilde L$ the bi-Lipschitz constants of $u$ and $v$, with our construction one has $\widetilde L \leq

The Cygnus region hosts a giant molecular-cloud complex which actively forms massive stars. Interactions of cosmic rays with interstellar gas and radiation fields make it shine at gamma-ray energies. Several gamma-ray pulsars and other energetic sources are seen in this direction. In this paper we analyse the gamma-ray emission measured by the Fermi Large Ar

The work content of non-equilibrium systems in relation to a heat bath is often analyzed in terms of expectation values of an underlying random work variable. However, we show that when optimizing the expectation value of the extracted work, the resulting extraction process is subject to intrinsic fluctuations, uniquely determined by the Hamiltonian and the

We show that one-dimensional quasi-periodic optical lattice systems can exhibit edge states and topological phases which are generally believed to appear in two-dimensional systems. When the Fermi energy lies in gaps, the Fermi system on the optical superlattice is a topological insulator characterized by a nonzero topological invariant. The topological natu

The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider has implemented a new system for recording information on detector status and data quality, and for transmitting this information to users performing physics analysis. This system revolves around the concept of &#34;defects,&#34; which are well-defined, fine-grained, unambiguous occurrences affecting the qual

In a recent paper, D. Harlow, J. Maltz, and E. Witten showed that a particular proposal for the timelike Liouville three-point function, originally due to Al. Zamolodchikov and to I. Kostov and V. Petkova, can actually be computed by the original Liouville path integral evaluated on a new integration cycle. Here, we discuss a Coulomb gas computation of the t

We show that a natural modification of the EPRL/FK vertex amplitude gives a finite spin foam model whose effective action gives the Einstein-Hilbert action in the limit of large spins and arbitrarily fine spacetime triangulations. The first-order quantum corrections can be easily computed and we show how to calculate the higher-order corrections.

We study non-equilibrium transport through a spin-1 Kondo dot in a local magnetic field. To this end we perform a two-loop renormalization group analysis in the weak-coupling regime yielding analytic results for (i) the renormalized magnetic field and the g-factor, (ii) the time evolution of observables and the relevant decay rates, (iii) the magnetization a

Background: The collective browsing behavior of users gives rise to a flow network transporting attention between websites. By analyzing the structure of this network we uncovered a nontrivial scaling regularity concerning the impact of websites.

Consider an arithmetic group $\mathbf{G}(O_S)$, where $\mathbf{G}$ is an affine group scheme with connected, simply connected absolutely almost simple generic fiber, defined over the ring of $S$-integers $O_S$ of a number field $K$ with respect to a finite set of places $S$. For each $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $R_n(\mathbf{G}(O_S))$ denote the number of irreduc

In this paper we prove that for an ergodic hyperbolic measure $ω$ of a $C^{1+α}$ diffeomorphism $f$ on a Riemannian manifold $M$, there is an $ω$-full measured set $\widetildeΛ$ such that for every invariant probability $μ\in \mathcal{M}_{inv}(\widetildeΛ,f)$, the metric entropy of $μ$ is equal to the topological entropy of saturated set $G_μ$ consisting of

We perform a space-time analysis of the D>4 quadratic curvature Lanczos-Lovelock (LL) model, exhibiting its dependence on intrinsic/extrinsic curvatures, lapse and shifts. As expected from general covariance, the field equations include D constraints, of zeroth and first time derivative order. In the &#34;linearized&#34; - here necessarily cubic - limit, we

We consider a multi-armed bandit problem in a setting where each arm produces a noisy reward realization which depends on an observable random covariate. As opposed to the traditional static multi-armed bandit problem, this setting allows for dynamically changing rewards that better describe applications where side information is available.

For this purpose, we use a rate equation model that describes the upconversion of trivalent erbium based upconverters.

We present dynamic measurements of a lattice gas during phase separation, which we use as an analogy for self-assembly of equilibrium ordered structures. We use two approaches to quantify the degree of &#39;reversibility&#39; of this process: firstly, we count events in which bonds are made and broken; secondly, we use correlation-response measurements and f

Self-consistent correlation potentials for H$_2$ and LiH for various inter-atomic separations are obtained within the random phase approximation (RPA) of density functional theory. The RPA correlation potential shows a peak at the bond midpoint, which is an exact feature of the true correlation potential, but lacks another exact feature: the step important t

In order to have a multiresolution analysis, the scaling function must be refinable. That is, it must be the linear combination of 2-dilation, $\mathbb{Z}$-translates of itself. Refinable functions used in connection with wavelets are typically compactly supported. In 2002, David Larson posed the question in his REU site, &#34;Are all polynomials (of a singl

A method for calculating coefficient functions of the operator product expansion, which was previously derived for the non-singlet case, is generalized for the singlet coefficient functions. The resulting formula defines coefficient functions entirely in terms of corresponding singlet composite operators without applying to elementary (quark and gluon) field

We study the collider phenomenology of the lightest Kaluza-Klein excitation of the gluon, G*, in theories with a warped extra dimension. We do so by means of a two-site effective lagrangian which includes only the lowest-lying spin-1 and spin-1/2 resonances. We point out the importance of the decays of G* to one SM plus one heavy fermion, that were overlooke

A broad range of single field models of inflation are analyzed in light of all relevant recent cosmological data, checking whether they can lead to the formation of long-lived Primordial Black Holes (PBHs). To that end we calculate the spectral index of the power spectrum of primordial perturbations as well as its first and second derivatives. PBH formation

The current analysis of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa(CKM) quark mixing matrix uses the standard parametrisation by 3 mixing angles and the CP-violating KM phase. However it would be more convenient to express these mixing angle parameters in terms of the known CKM matrix elements like $V_{ud}$, $ V_{us}$, $ V_{ub}$, $V_{cb}$ and the CP-violating phase $δ$.

We analysed new simultaneous \emph{Suzaku} and \emph{Swift} data of the Broad Line Seyfert 1 (BLS1) galaxy CBS 126. A clear Fe emission line and a strong soft excess are present in the source spectra. We fit the spectra with a relativistic reflection model and find the model tends to fit the data with a high iron abundance possibly due to the large soft exce

AGILE data on Cygnus X-3 are reviewed focussing on the correlation between the production of gamma-ray transient emission and spectral state changes of the source. AGILE clearly establishes a relation between enhanced gamma-ray emission and the &#34;quenched&#34; radio/hard X-ray states that precede in general major radio flares. We briefly discuss the theor

We study coadjoint orbitopes, i.e. convex hulls of coadjoint orbits of a compact Lie group. We show that all the faces of such an orbitope are exposed. The face structure is studied by means of the momentum map and it is shown that every face is again a coadjoint orbitope. Up to conjugation the faces are completely determined by the momentum polytope and can

In the present paper we revisit, theoretical and experimentally, the fall of a folded U-chain and of a pile-chain. The model calculation implies the division of the whole system into two subsystems of variable mass, allowing to explore the role of tensional contact forces at the boundary of the subsystems. This justifies, for instance, that the folded U-chai

The use of Lagrange multipliers in the context of quintessence/phantom scalar fields allows to constrain the behavior of the scalar field, which provides a powerful tool, not only for the reconstruction of cosmological solutions but also for the study of some problems in cosmology and gravitational physics. In the present paper, we focus on the reconstructio

We investigate the problem of the entropy of the mixture of sources. There is given an estimation of the entropy and entropy dimension of convex combination of measures. The proof is based on our alternative definition of the entropy based on measures instead of partitions.

In the design of beam transport lines one often meets the problem of constructing a quadrupole lens system that will produce desired transfer matrices in both the horizontal and vertical planes.

We study the stationary states for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the Fibonacci lattice which is expected to be realized by Bose-Einstein condensates loaded into an optical lattice. When the model does not have a nonlinear term, the wavefunctions and the spectrum are known to show fractal structures. Such wavefunctions are called critical. We present

$^{63}$Cu and $^{199}$Hg NMR shifts for an optimally and underdoped HgBa$_{2}$CuO$_{4+δ}$ single crystal are reported, and the temperature dependence dictates a two-component description of the uniform spin susceptibility.

We show that slight modifications of the Kontorovich-Lebedev transform lead to an automorphism of the vector space of polynomials. This circumstance along with the Mellin transformation property of the modified Bessel functions perform the passage of monomials to central factorial polynomials.

We address a long standing problem regarding topology in lattice simulations of QCD with unimproved Wilson fermions. Earlier attempt with unimproved Wilson fermions at β=5.6 to verify the suppression of topological susceptibility with decreasing quark mass (m_q) was unable to unambiguously confirm the suppression.

A computer calculation with Magma shows that there is no extremal self-dual binary code C of length 72 that has an automorphism group containing D10, Z3xZ3, or Z7. Combining this with the known results in the literature one obtains that Aut(C) is either Z5 or has order dividing 24.

We present a general approach to the study of the local distribution of measures on Euclidean spaces, based on local entropy averages. As concrete applications, we unify, generalize, and simplify a number of recent results on local homogeneity, porosity and conical densities of measures.

We consider the Cheeger constant $ϕ(n)$ of the giant component of supercritical bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d/n\mathbb{Z}^d$. We show that the variance of $ϕ(n)$ is bounded by $\fracξ{n^d}$, where $ξ$ is a positive constant that depends only on the dimension $d$ and the percolation parameter.

We determine the algebra of isovectors for the Black--Scholes equation. As a consequence, we obtain some previously unknown families of transformations on the solutions.

Inspired by the ideas from topological field theory it is possible to rewrite the supersymmetric charges of certain classes of extended supersymmetric Yang--Mills (SYM) theories in such a way that they are compatible with the discretization on a Euclidean spacetime lattice.

Then each quantum operation $Φ_B$ on the quantum system $\cH_B$ can induce a quantum ensemble $\set{(p_μ,ρ_{A,μ})}$ on quantum system $\cH_A$.

We present a direct lattice QCD calculation of the $κ$ meson decay width with the s-wave scattering phase shift for the isospin $I=1/2$ pion-kaon ($πK$) system. We employ a special finite size formula, which is the extension of the Rummukainen-Gottlieb formula for the $πK$ system in the moving frame, to calculate the scattering phase, which indicates a reson

We study the initial value problem associated to the dispersion generalized Benjamin-Ono equation. Our aim is to establish well posedness results in weighted Sobolev spaces and to deduce from them some sharp unique continuation properties of solutions to this equation. In particular, we shall establish optimal decay rate for the solutions of this model.

This paper is to give some concrete examples of the general fibers of the evaluation map of some Kontsevich mapping spaces parametrize low degree rational curves on low degree complete intersection varieties. We prove these examples are Fano or Calabi-Yau vareities of low dimension, e.g, surface and threefold. In usual, the &#34;moduli&#34; fibers are constr

We consider the problem of determining whether a given prime p is a congruent number. We present an easily computed criterion that allows us to conclude that certain primes for which congruency was previously undecided, are in fact not congruent. As a result, we get additional information on the possible sizes of Tate-Shafarevich groups of the associated ell

We consider a general class of quantum gravity-inspired, modified gravity theories, where the Einstein-Hilbert action is extended through the addition of all terms quadratic in the curvature tensor coupled to scalar fields with standard kinetic energy. This class of theories includes Einstein-Dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet and Chern-Simons modified gravity as special

The Kauffman Constraint Coefficients Kw and their corresponding Elementals Ew are presented as solutions to the construction of the (beta)-derivative of Kauffman&#39;s Theta-function. Additionally, a new recursion relation is provided to construct the (beta)-derivative of Theta that requires only operational substitutions and summations; this algorithmically

The state function entropy and its quantum thermodynamical implication for two typical dissipative systems with anomalous spectral densities are studied by investigating on their low-temperature quantum behavior. In all cases it is found that the entropy decays quickly and vanishes as the temperature approaches zero. This reveals a good conformity with the t

The name of George Augustus Linhart is in fact &#34;widely unknown&#34;. In effect, he was a Viennese-born USA-American physicist-chemist, partially associated with the Gilbert Newton Lewis&#39; school of thermodynamics at the University of California in Berkeley. As a lone small boy, he had arrived (from Austria via Hamburg) at New York in 1896, but was off

In early 2010, the Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) science collaboration initiated a study to investigate the physics potential of the experiment with a broad set of different beam, near- and far-detector configurations. Nine initial topics were identified as scientific areas that motivate construction of a long-baseline neutrino experiment with a v

We examine the phase diagram of hadronic matter when the number of colors, as well as temperature and density, are varied. We show that in this regime several new phase transitions are possible, and we examine issues related to these transitions.
