We describe a chip-scale, telecommunications-band frequency conversion interface designed for low-noise operation at wavelengths desirable for common single photon emitters. Four-wave mixing Bragg scattering in silicon nitride waveguides is used to demonstrate frequency upconversion and downconversion between the 980 nm and 1550 nm wavelength regions, with s

This paper demonstrates the application of bibliometric mapping techniques in the area of funded research networks. We discuss how science maps can be used to facilitate communication inside newly formed communities, but also to account for their activities to funding agencies. We present the mapping of EINS as case -- an FP7 funded Network of Excellence. Fi

Let $H$ be the quantum double of a Nichols algebra of diagonal type. We compute the $R$-matrix of 3-uples of modules for general finite-dimensional highest weight modules over $H$. We calculate also a multiplicative formula for the universal $R$-matrix when $H$ is finite dimensional.

The conditions in which meridional recirculations appear in swirling flows above a fixed wall are analysed. In the classical Bodewädt problem, where the swirl tends towards an aysmptotic value away from the wall, the well-known "tea-cup effect" drives a flow away from the plate at the centre of the vortex. Simple dimensional arguments applied to a si

We study the magnetization dynamics in a ferromagnet-insulator-superconductor tunnel junction and the associated buildup of the electrical polarization. We show that for an open circuit, the induced voltage varies strongly and nonmonotonically with the precessional frequency, and can be enhanced significantly by the superconducting correlations. For frequenc

In this paper we prove the existence of Sidon sets which are asymptotic bases of order 4 by using probabilistic methods.

In the framework of QCD sum rules, we present an improved study of our previous work [Phys. Rev. D {\bf80}, 056004 (2009)] particularly on the $\bar{D}D^{*}$ molecular state to investigate that the possibility of the newly observed $Z_{c}(3900)$ as a $S$-wave $\bar{D}D^{*}$ molecular state. To ensure the quality of QCD sum rule analysis, contributions of up

This paper develops maximum score estimation of preference parameters in the binary choice model under uncertainty in which the decision rule is affected by conditional expectations. The preference parameters are estimated in two stages: we estimate conditional expectations nonparametrically in the first stage and then the preference parameters in the second

In this work, we propose and study optimal proactive resource allocation and demand shaping for data networks. Motivated by the recent findings on the predictability of human behavior patterns in data networks, and the emergence of highly capable handheld devices, our design aims to smooth out the network traffic over time and minimize the data delivery cost

We examine whether it is possible to simultaneously describe the experimental data from RHIC and LHC on nuclear suppression of light hadrons and non-photonic single electrons in the pQCD picture of parton energy loss. We perform calculations accounting for both radiative and collisional energy loss. We show that once the coupling constant is fixed from compa

We calculate the Sheikholeslami-Wohlert coefficient of the O(a) improvement term for Wilson fermions in any representation of the gauge group SU(N) perturbatively at the one-loop level. The result applies to QCD with adjoint quarks and to N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on the lattice.

Short-time existence for the Einstein-Euler and the vacuum Einstein equations is proven using a Friedrich inspired formulation due to Choquet-Bruhat and York, where the system is cast into a symmetric hyperbolic form and the Riemann tensor is treated as one of the fundamental unknowns of the problem. The reduced system of Choquet-Bruhat and York, along with

We have examined TeV scale effects of extra spatial dimensions through the processes gamma q-> gamma q where q=u,d,c,s,b, anti-u, anti-d, anti-c, anti-s, anti-b. These processes have been treated in a photon-proton collision via the main reaction pp-> p gamma p-> p gamma qX at the LHC. We have employed equivalent photon approximation for incoming photon beam

We introduce generalized Campanato spaces $\mathcal{L}_{p,ϕ}$ on a probability space $(Ω,\mathcal{F},P)$, where $p\in[1,\infty)$ and $ϕ:(0,1]\to(0,\infty)$. If $p=1$ and $ϕ\equiv1$, then $\mathcal{L}_{p,ϕ}=\mathrm{BMO}$. We give a characterization of the set of all pointwise multipliers on $\mathcal{L}_{p,ϕ}$.

In this paper, Stieltjes electrostatic model and quantum Hamilton Jacobi formalism is analogous to each other is shown. This analogy allows, the bound state problem to mimics as $n$ unit moving imaginary charges $i\hbar$, which are placed in between the two fixed imaginary charges arising due to the classical turning points of the potential. The interaction

We investigate how to obtain various flows of K\"ahler metrics on a fixed manifold as variations of K\"ahler reductions of a metric satisfying a given static equation on a higher dimensional manifold. We identify static equations that induce the geodesic equation for the Mabuchi's metric, the Calabi flow, the pseudo-Calabi flow of Chen-Zheng and the K\"ahler

We report a theoretical investigation of DL mode (Dust Lattice) in 2D Yukawa crystal in presence of asymmetric ion flow and external magnetic field perpendicular to the crystal plane. Two mutually perpendicular modes are found to be coupled due to Lorentz force. Interaction among the dust grains along vertical direction is strongly affected due to the format

For the truncated moment problem associated to a complex sequence $γ^{(2n)}=\{γ_{ij}\}_{i,j\in Z_{+},i+j \leq 2n}$ to have a representing measure $μ$, it is necessary for the moment matrix $M(n)$ to be positive semidefinite, and for the algebraic variety $\mathcal{V}_γ$ to satisfy $\operatorname{rank}\;M(n) \leq \;$ card$\;\mathcal{V}_γ$ as well as a consist

We propose a realistic 5D orbifold GUT model that can reduce to natural (or radiative natural) supersymmetry as the low energy effective theory. Supersymmetry as well as gauge symmetry are broken by the twist boundary conditions. We find that it is non-trivial to introduce other flavor symmetry other than the $SU(2)_R$ R-symmetry. We ameliorate the tension b

A game is played by a team of two --- say Alice and Bob --- in which the value of a random variable $x$ is revealed to Alice only, who cannot freely communicate with Bob. Instead, she is given a quantum $n$-level system, respectively a classical $n$-state system, which she can put in possession of Bob in any state she wishes. We evaluate how successfully the

We conjecture the existence of a relationship between frustration and the transition point at zero temperature of Ising spin glasses. The relation reveals that, in several Ising spin glass models, the concentration of ferromagnetic bonds is close to the critical concentration at zero temperature when the output of a function about frustration is equal to uni

Consider a complete communication network on $n$ nodes, each of which is a state machine. In synchronous 2-counting, the nodes receive a common clock pulse and they have to agree on which pulses are "odd" and which are "even". We require that the solution is self-stabilising (reaching the correct operation from any initial state) and it tolerates $f$ Byzanti

We study two-component (or pseudospin-1/2) Bose gases in a strong synthetic magnetic field. Using exact diagonalization, we show that a bosonic analogue of an integer quantum Hall state with no intrinsic topological order appears at the total filling factor ν=1+1 when the strengths of intracomponent and intercomponent interactions are comparable with each ot

Let D = {D_{1},...,D_{l}} be an arrangement of smooth hypersurfaces with normal crossings on the complex projective space P^n and let Ω^{1}_{P^n}(log D) be the logarithmic bundle attached to it. Following [1], we show that Ω^{1}_{P^n}(log D) admits a resolution of lenght 1 which explicitly depends on the degrees and on the equations of D_{1},...,D_{l}. Then

We introduce a geometric construction which relates to the pentagram map much in the way that a logarithmic spiral relates to a circle. After introducing the construction, we establish some basic geometric facts about it, and speculate on some of the deeper algebraic structure, such as the complete integrability of the associated dynamical system.

Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$. The energy of $G$ is defined as the sum of absolute values of all eigenvalues of $A(G)$, which was introduced by Gutman in 1970s. Since graph energy has important chemical applications, it causes great concern and has many generalizations. The skew energy and skew energy-like are the generali

From microscopic fluid clusters to macroscopic droplets, the structure of fluids is governed by the Van der Waals force, a force that acts between polarizable objects. In this Letter, we derive a general theory that describes the non-equilibrium counterpart to the Van der Waals force, which emerges in spatially coherently fluctuating electromagnetic fields.

We introduce a new compression scheme for labeled trees based on top trees. Our compression scheme is the first to simultaneously take advantage of internal repeats in the tree (as opposed to the classical DAG compression that only exploits rooted subtree repeats) while also supporting fast navigational queries directly on the compressed representation. We s

Relativistic positioning systems provide tensors represented in $\{\ell\ell\ell\ell\}$-frames ($\ell$ for light) dual to systems of emission coordinates. We show that any Lorentzian metric field given in such a frame is isometrically equivalent to a generic metric field defined by only four positive functions depending on another specific system of emission

In this paper a Galoisian approach to build propagators through Riccati equations is presented. The main result corresponds to the relationship between the Galois integrability of the linear Schrödinger equation and the virtual solvability of the differential Galois group of its associated characteristic equation. As main application of this approach we solv

Given a C*-dynamical system (A,G,α), we say that A is a weakly proper (X\rtimes G)-algebra if there exists a proper G-space X together with a nondegenerate G-equivariant *-homomorphism ϕ:C_0(X)->M(A). Weakly proper G-algebras form a large subclass of the class of proper G-algebras in the sense of Rieffel. In this paper we show that weakly proper (X\rtimes G)

The near future mm/sub-mm VLBI experiments are ambitious projects aiming at imaging the "shadow" of the supermassive black hole candidate at the center of the Milky Way and of the ones in nearby galaxies. An accurate observation of the shape of the shadow can potentially test the nature of these objects and verify if they are Kerr black holes, as pre

This paper is aimed at deriving the universality of the largest eigenvalue of a class of high-dimensional real or complex sample covariance matrices of the form $\mathcal{W}_N=Σ^{1/2}XX^*Σ^{1/2}$. Here, $X=(x_{ij})_{M,N}$ is an $M\times N$ random matrix with independent entries $x_{ij},1\leq i\leq M,1\leq j\leq N$ such that $\mathbb{E}x_{ij}=0$, $\mathbb{E}|

This paper is concerned with solution in Hölder spaces of the Cauchy problem for linear and semi-linear backward stochastic partial differential equations (BSPDEs) of super-parabolic type. The pair of unknown variables are viewed as deterministic spatial functionals which take values in Banach spaces of random (vector) processes. We define suitable functiona

We make use of the Ehrenfest's equation to explore the phase transition of a black hole with conformal anomaly. The first order phase transition is ruled out because no discontinuity appears in entropy of the black holes. We find that the phase transition of black holes belong to the second order subject to the Ehrenfest's equations. Further we also

We extend the computations in [AGM4] to find the mod 2 homology in degree 1 of a congruence subgroup Gamma of SL(4,Z) with coefficients in the sharbly complex, along with the action of the Hecke algebra. This homology group is closely related to the cohomology of Gamma with F_2 coefficients in the top cuspidal degree. These computations require a modificatio

We show the consistency of "there is a nice sigma --ideal I on the reals with add(I)= omega_1 which cannot be represented as the union of a strictly increasing sequence of length omega_1 of sigma-subideals". This answers a question by Borodulin-Nadzieja and Glab.

We introduce the notion of metric entropy for a nonautonomous dynamical system given by a sequence of probability spaces and a sequence of measure-preserving maps between these spaces. This notion generalizes the classical concept of metric entropy established by Kolmogorov and Sinai, and is related via a variational inequality to the topological entropy of

The batch fermentation process, inoculated by pulsed electric field (PEF) treated wine yeasts (S. cerevisiae Actiflore F33), was studied. PEF treatment was applied to the aqueous yeast suspensions (0.12 % wt.) at the electric field strengths of E=100 and 6000 V/cm using the same pulse protocol (number of pulses of n=1000, pulse duration of ti=100 mks, and pu

In the framework of open quantum systems, we study the geometric phase acquired by freely falling and static two-level atoms interacting with quantized conformally coupled massless scalar fields in de Sitter-invariant vacuum. We find that, for the freely falling atom, the geometric phase gets a correction resulting from a thermal bath with the Gibbons-Hawkin

In this paper we study automorphic correction of the hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra $E_{10}$, using the Borcherds product for O(10,2) attached to a weakly holomorphic modular form of weight -4 for $SL_2(\mathbb Z)$. We also clarify some aspects of automorphic correction for Lorentzian Kac-Moody algebras and give heuristic reasons for the expectation that every

Polynomial algebra offers a standard approach to handle several problems in geometric modeling. A key tool is the discriminant of a univariate polynomial, or of a well-constrained system of polynomial equations, which expresses the existence of a multiple root. We concentrate on bivariate polynomials and establish an original formula that relates the mixed d

Forest automata (FA) have recently been proposed as a tool for shape analysis of complex heap structures. FA encode sets of tree decompositions of heap graphs in the form of tuples of tree automata. In order to allow for representing complex heap graphs, the notion of FA allowed one to provide user-defined FA (called boxes) that encode repetitive graph patte

We present results of our preliminary analysis of acoustically active X-class flare of September 7, 2011. We report two acoustic sources detected via acoustic holography and verified by finding a ridge in time-distance diagrams. We compare the directional information extracted from time-distance and acoustic holography, showing a good agreement in this case.

Markov processes are shown to be consistent with metastable states seen in pulsar phenomena, including intensity nulling, pulse-shape mode changes, subpulse drift rates, spindown rates, and X-ray emission, based on the typically broad and monotonic distributions of state lifetimes. Markovianity implies a nonlinear magnetospheric system in which state changes

In compressive sensing, the basis pursuit algorithm aims to find the sparsest solution to an underdetermined linear equation system. In this paper, we generalize basis pursuit to finding the sparsest solution to higher order nonlinear systems of equations, called nonlinear basis pursuit. In contrast to the existing nonlinear compressive sensing methods, the

We propose an extension of the cyclic hardening plasticity model formulated by Armstrong and Frederick which includes micropolar effects. Our micropolar extension establishes coercivity of the model which is otherwise not present.

In this paper, we are concerned with the controllability of a chemotaxis system of parabolic-elliptic type. By linearizing the nonlinear system into two separated linear equations to bypass the obstacle caused by the nonlinear drift term, we establish the local null controllability of the original nonlinear system.

We present an accurate methodology for representing the physics of waves, for periodic structures, through effective properties for a replacement bulk medium: This is valid even for media with zero frequency stop-bands and where high frequency phenomena dominate.

We develop a full characterization of abelian quantum statistics on graphs. We explain how the number of anyon phases is related to connectivity. For 2-connected graphs the independence of quantum statistics with respect to the number of particles is proven. For non-planar 3-connected graphs we identify bosons and fermions as the only possible statistics, wh

These notes are devoted to a summary on the mean-field limit of large ensembles of interacting particles with applications in swarming models.

A 2-web in the plane is given by two everywhere transverse 1-foliations. In this paper we introduce the study of singular 2-webs, given by any two foliations, which may be tangent in some points. We show that such two foliations are tangent along a curve, which will be called the polar curve of the 2-web, and we study the relationship between the contact ord

We study the (relative) SL(2,C) character varieties of the four-holed sphere and the action of the mapping class group on it.

Buckley and Osthus proved that in this model the degree sequence has a power law distribution. As a natural (and arguably more interesting) next step, we study the second degrees of vertices. Roughly speaking, the second

We give a forbidden pattern characterization for the class of generalized definite languages, show that the corresponding problem is NL-complete and can be solved in quadratic time. We also show that their syntactic complexity coincides with that of the definite languages and give an upper bound of n! for this measure.

The Apache Point Survey of Transit Lightcurves of Exoplanets (APOSTLE) observed 10 transits of XO-2b over a period of three years. We present measurements which confirm previous estimates of system parameters like the normalized semi-major axis (a/R_{*}), stellar density (ρ_{*}), impact parameter (b) and orbital inclination (i_{orb}). Our errors on system pa

We are continuing our study of ADE-orbifold subalgebras of the triplet vertex algebra W(p). This part deals with the dihedral series. First, subject to a certain constant term identity, we classify all irreducible modules for the vertex algebra $\bar{M(1)} ^+$, the $\Z_2$--orbifold of the singlet vertex algebra $\bar{M(1)}$. Then we classify irreducible modu

In this short communication, we shall explore a nonlinear discrete dynamical system that naturally occurs in population systems to describe a transmission of a trait from parents to their offspring. We consider a Mendelian inheritance for a single gene with three alleles and assume that to form a new generation, each gene has a possibility to mutate, that is

The paper is devoted to analysis of different models that describe waves in fluid-filled and gas-filled elastic tubes and development of methods of calculation and numerical analysis of solutions with solitary waves and kinks for these models. Membrane model and plate model are used for tube. Two types of solitary waves are found. One-parametric families are

Modeling emotional-cognition is in a nascent stage and therefore wide-open for new ideas and discussions. In this paper the author looks at the modeling problem by bringing in ideas from axiomatic mathematics, information theory, computer science, molecular biology, non-linear dynamical systems and quantum computing and explains how ideas from these discipli

We introduce a Hilbert $A$-module structure on the higher oscillatory module, where $A$ denotes the $C^*$-algebra of bounded endomorphisms of the basic oscillatory module. We also define the notion of an exterior covariant derivative in an $A$-Hilbert bundle and use it for a construction of an $A$-elliptic complex of differential operators for certain symple

The linear non-modal kinetic theory of the kinetic drift-Alfven instability of plasma shear flows reveals the temporal non-modal growth with growing with time growth rate. The turbulent scattering of the sheared modes on ions accelerates this growth. The instability ceases its growth when the coupling of the drift and Alfven waves violates due to the changin
