Solving (for tame matroids) a problem of Aigner-Horev, Diestel and Postle, we prove that every tame matroid M can be reconstructed from its canonical tree decomposition into 3-connected pieces, circuits and cocircuits together with information about which ends of the decomposition tree are used by M . For every locally finite graph G, we show that every tame

We study the bialgebra structure of the Hall algebra of two-periodic complexes recently introduced by Bridgeland. We introduce coproduct on Bridgeland's Hall algebra, and show that in the hereditary case the resulting bialgebra structure coincides with that on Drinfeld double of the ordinary Hall algebra

This paper studies optimization of zero-delay source-channel codes, and specifically the problem of obtaining globally optimal transformations that map between the source space and the channel space, under a given transmission power constraint and for the mean square error distortion. Particularly, we focus on the setting where the decoder has access to side

The control of condensed matter systems out of equilibrium by laser pulses allows us to investigate the system trajectories through symmetry-breaking phase transitions. Thus the evolution of both collective modes and single particle excitations can be followed through diverse phase transitions with femtosecond resolution. Here we present experimental observa

We calculate the tunnelling current through a Fabry-Pérot interferometer in the fractional quantum Hall regime. Within linear response theory (weak tunnelling but arbitrary source-drain voltage) we find a general expression for the current due to tunnelling of quasiparticles in terms of Carlson's $R$ function. Our result is valid for fractional quantum H

A recent proposal for practical calculation of vibrational mode lifetimes is tested on simple, low-dimensional anharmonic models. The proposed scheme approximates the mode lifetime in terms of ensemble averages of specific functions in phase-space; various levels of approximation correspond to ensemble moments of the Liouvillian. It is shown that, for system

Detailed dc and ac magnetic properties of chemically synthesized Nd0.4Sr0.6MnO3 with different particle size (down to 27 nm) have been studied in details. We have found ferromagnetic state in the nanoparticles, whereas, the bulk Nd0.4Sr0.6MnO3 is known to be an A-type antiferromagnet. A Griffiths-like phase has also been identified in the nanoparticles. Furt

In the paper, we define the notion of a state BCK-algebra and a state-morphism BCK-algebra extending the language of BCK-algebras by adding a unary operator which models probabilistic reasoning. We present a relation between state operators and state-morphism operators and measures and states on BCK-algebras, respectively. We study subdirectly irreducible st

One of the major challenges in neuroscience is to determine how noise that is present at the molecular and cellular levels affects dynamics and information processing at the macroscopic level of synaptically coupled neuronal populations. Often noise is incorprated into deterministic network models using extrinsic noise sources. An alternative approach is to

In the framework of nonparametric multivariate function estimation we are interested in structural adaptation. We assume that the function to be estimated possesses the single-index structure where neither the link function nor the index vector is known. We propose a novel procedure that adapts simultaneously to the unknown index and smoothness of link funct

We prove the exponential decay of correlations for C^α-observables (0<α=<2) for generic birational maps of P^k à la Bedford-Diller. In the particular case of regular birational maps, we give a better estimate of the speed of the decay, getting results as sharp as Dinh&#39;s results for Hénon maps.

Recent theoretical and experimental evidence indicates that many of the materials that are thought to exist in the mantles of terrestrial exoplanets will metallize and become good conductors of electricity at mantle pressures. This allows for strong electromagnetic coupling of the core and the mantle in these planets. We use a numerical dynamo model to study

We calculate higher spin BPST vertex operators for open bosonic string and express these operstors in terms of Kummer function of the second kind. We derive infinite number of recurrence relations among BPST vertex operators of different string states. These recurrence relations among BPST vertex operators lead to the recurrence relations among Regge string

Graphene has drawn wide attention due to its exceptional thermal conductivity but complete understanding of thermal characteristics of polycrystalline graphene is still elusive to date. For the first time, herein, we have systematically studied the effect of temperature on the thermal conductance behavior of polycrystalline graphene for a range of grain size

We propose a new index, the $j$-index, which is defined for an author as the sum of the square roots of the numbers of citations to each of the author&#39;s publications. The idea behind the $j$-index it to remedy a drawback of the $h$-index $-$ that the $h$-index does not take into account the full citation record of a researcher. The square root function i

We report on the spectroscopy of radio-frequency transitions between nearly-degenerate, opposite-parity excited states in atomic dysprosium (Dy). Theoretical calculations predict that these states are very sensitive to variation of the fine-structure constant, $α$, owing to large relativistic corrections of opposite sign for the opposite-parity levels.

The definition of a double-scaling limit represents an important goal in the development of tensor models. We take the first steps towards this goal by extracting and analysing the next-to-leading order contributions, in the 1/N expansion, for the IID tensor models. We show that the radius of convergence of the NLO series coincides with that of the leading o

Recently, a Lagrangian description of superfluids attracted some interest from the fluid/gravity-correspondence viewpoint. In this respect, the work of Dubovksy et al. has proposed a new field theoretical description of fluids, which has several interesting aspects.

Coherent light pulses of few to hundreds of femtoseconds (fs) duration have prolifically served the field of ultrafast phenomena. While fs pulses address mainly dynamics of nuclear motion in molecules or lattices in the gas, liquid or condensed matter phase, the advent of attosecond pulses has in recent years provided direct experimental access to ultrafast

We experimentally investigate the impact of uncorrelated composite and structural disorder in photonic graphene. We find that in case of structural disorder not only chiral symmetry, but also the vanishing of the density of states at zero energy is preserved. This is in contrast to composite disorder, where chiral symmetry as well as the vanishing of the den

A proof-of-concept demonstration of the electrowetting-on-dielectric of a sessile soap bubble is reported here. The bubbles are generated using a commercial soap bubble mixture - the surfaces are composed of highly doped, commercial silicon wafers covered with nanometre thick films of Teflon. Voltages less than 40V are sufficient to observe the modification

This paper introduces the basic concepts for physics-compatible discretization techniques. The paper gives a clear distinction between vectors and forms. Based on the difference between forms and pseudo-forms and the $\star$-operator which switches between the two, a dual grid description and a single grid description are presented. The dual grid method rese

We study the impact of a hadron-quark phase transition on the maximum neutron-star mass. The hadronic part of the equation of state relies on the most up-to-date Skyrme nuclear energy density functionals, fitted to essentially all experimental nuclear mass data and constrained to reproduce the properties of infinite nuclear matter as obtained from microscopi

We study the communication complexity and streaming complexity of approximating unweighted semi-matchings. A semi-matching in a bipartite graph G = (A, B, E), with n = |A|, is a subset of edges S that matches all A vertices to B vertices with the goal usually being to do this as fairly as possible. While the term &#39;semi-matching&#39; was coined in 2003 by

This is a review of recent progress concerning generic spacelike singularities in general relativity. For brevity the main focus is on singularities in vacuum spacetimes, although the connection with, and the role of, matter for generic singularity formation is also commented on. The paper describes recent developments in two areas and show how these are con

We consider integrable models, or in general any model defined by an $R$-matrix, on random surfaces, which are discretized using random Manhattan lattices. The set of random Manhattan lattices is defined as the set dual to the lattice random surfaces embedded on a regular d-dimensional lattice. They can also be associated with the random graphs of multiparti

We study the generation and evolution of entanglement between two qubits coupled through one-dimensional waveguide modes. By using a complete quantum electrodynamical formalism we go beyond the Markovian approximation. The diagonalization of the hamiltonian is carried out, and a set of quasi-localized eigenstates is found. We show that when the qubit-wavegui

We apply grazing-incidence femtosecond x-ray diffraction to investigate the details of the atomic motion connected with a displacively excited coherent optical phonon. We concentrate on the low frequency phonon associated with the charge and orbital order in the mixed valence manganite La0.25Pr0.375Ca0.375MnO3 for T < 210 K. We measure the response of three

A C# implementation of a generalized k-means variant called relational k-means is described here. Relational k-means is a generalization of the well-known k-means clustering method which works for non-Euclidean scenarios as well. The input is an arbitrary distance matrix, as opposed to the traditional k-means method, where the clustered objects need to be id

A static binary search tree where every search starts from where the previous one ends (lazy finger) is considered. Such a search method is more powerful than that of the classic optimal static trees, where every search starts from the root (root finger), and less powerful than when rotations are allowed---where finding the best rotation based tree is the to

This paper presents new approaches for finding the determinant and inverse of a matrix. The choice of pivot selection is kept arbitrary and can be made according to the users need. So the ill conditioned matrices can be handled easily. The algorithms are more efficient as they save unnecessary data storage by reducing the order of the matrix after each itera

In this work we study the link between the evolution of the internal structure of Vesta and thermal heating due to 26Al and 60Fe and long-lived radionuclides, taking into account the chemical differentiation of the body and the affinity of 26Al with silicates. Differentiation takes place in all scenarios in which Vesta completes its accretion in less than 1.

Physical Realizability addresses the question of whether it is possible to implement a given LTI system as a quantum system. It is in general not true that a given synthesized quantum controller described by a set of stochastic differential equations is equivalent to some physically meaningful quantum system. However, if additional quantum noises are permitt

A concept of a family of unique backward-wave photonic devices, such as frequency up and down converting nonlinear-optical mirrors, sensors, modulators, filters and amplifiers is proposed. Novel materials are considered, which support coexistence of ordinary and backward waves and thus enable enhanced nonlinear-optical frequency-conversion processes. Particu

In this paper, we estimate the magnetic Reynolds number of a typical protostar before and after deuterium burning, and claim for the existence of dynamo process in both the phases, because the magnetic Reynolds number of the protostar far exceeds the critical magnetic Reynolds number for dynamo action. Using the equipartition of kinetic and magnetic energies

Experiments and numerical simulations show that the energy spectrum of the magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the quasi-static limit deviates from Kolmogorov&#39;s $k^{-5/3}$ spectrum as the external magnetic field, or equivalently the interaction parameter, is increased. To explain this phenomena, we construct an analytical turbulence model with variable ene

The incompatibility between the Lorentz invariance of classical electromagnetism and the Galilean invariance of continuum mechanics is one of the major barriers to prevent two theories from merging. In this note, a systematic approach of obtaining Galilean invariant field variables and equations of electromagnetism within the semi-relativistic limit is revie

The purpose of this paper is to give applications of the Eilenberg-Moore type spectral sequence converging to the relative loop homology algebra of a Gorenstein space, which is introduced in the previous paper due to the authors. Moreover, it is proved that the spectral sequence is functorial on the category of simply-connected Poincaré duality spaces over a

We provide the quantum mechanics of many particles moving in twisted N-enlarged Newton-Hooke space-time. In particular, we consider the example of such noncommutative system - the set of M particles moving in Coulomb field of external point-like source and interacting each other also by Coulomb potential.

Nonlinear axisymmetric cylindrical plasma oscillations in magnetized collisionless plasmas are a model for the electron fluid collapse on the axis behind an ultrashort relativisically intense laser pulse exciting a plasma wake wave. We present an analytical description of the strongly nonlinear oscillations showing that the magnetic field prevents closing of

Among geometrically rational surfaces, del Pezzo surfaces of degree two over a field k containing at least one point are arguably the simplest that are not known to be unirational over k. Looking for k-rational curves on these surfaces, we extend some earlier work of Manin on this subject. We then focus on the case where k is a finite field, where we show th

We consider the interactions of finite dipoles in a doubly-periodic domain. A finite dipole is a pair of equal and opposite strength point vortices separated by a finite distance. The dynamics of multiple finite dipoles in an unbounded inviscid uid was first proposed by Tchieu, Kanso & Newton in [1] as a model that captures the &#34;far- field&#34; hydrodyna
