In this paper we find new equivalent norms in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{B})$ by using multivariate Littlewood-Paley functions associated with Poisson semigroup for the Hermite operator, provided that $\mathbb{B}$ is a UMD Banach space with the property ($α$). We make use of $γ$-radonifying operators to get new equivalent norms that allow us to obtain $L^p(\m

Studying the time development of the expectation value in the future-not-included complex action theory, we point out that the momentum relation (the relation analogous to $p=\frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{q}}$), which was derived via the Feynman path integral and was shown to be correct in the future-included theory in our previous papers, is not valid in

Considering the problem of the control of a two-state quantum system by an external field, we establish a general and versatile method that allows the derivation of smooth pulses, suitable for ultrafast applications, that feature the properties of high-fidelity, robustness, and low area. Such shaped pulses can be viewed as a single-shot generalization of the

Recently, Bringmann, Ono, and Rhoades employed harmonic weak Maass forms to prove results on Eulerian series as modular forms. By changing the setting to Appell--Lerch sums, we shorten the proof of one of their main theorems. In addition we discuss connections to recent work of Kang.

Baryonic matter in the core of a massive and evolved star is compressed significantly to form a supra-nuclear object, and compressed baryonic matter (CBM) is then produced after supernova. The state of cold matter at a few nuclear density is pedagogically reviewed, with significant attention paid to a possible quark-cluster state conjectured from an astrophy

In this paper we study the bifurcation of branches of non-symmetric solutions from the symmetric branch of solutions to the Euler-Lagrange equations satisfied by optimal functions in functional inequalities of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type. We establish the asymptotic behavior of the branches for large values of the bifurcation parameter. We also perform an

In this letter, we focus on the performance of a worst-case mobile user (MU) in the downlink cellular network. We derive the coverage probability and the spectral efficiency of the worst-case MU using stochastic geometry. Through analytical and numerical results, we draw out interesting insights that the coverage probability and the spectral efficiency of th

We study a Fermi Hamilton operator $\hat K$ which does not commute with the number operator $\hat N$. The eigenvalue problem and the Schrödinger equation is solved. Entanglement is also discussed. Furthermore the Lie algebra generated by the two terms of the Hamilton operator is derived and the Lie algebra generated by the Hamilton operator and the number op

Expanding a result of Serre on finite CW-complexes, we show that the Brauer group coincides with the cohomological Brauer group for arbitrary compact spaces. Using results from the homotopy theory of classifying spaces for Lie groups, we give another proof of the result of Antieau and Williams that equality does not hold for Eilenberg--MacLane spaces of type

We study the solvability of the time-independent matrix Schrödinger differential equations of the quantum Rabi model and its 2-photon and two-mode generalizations in Bargmann Hilbert spaces of entire functions. We show that the Rabi model and its 2-photon and two-mode analogs are quasi-exactly solvable. We derive the exact, closed-form expressions for the en

We analyze the two-mode squeezed harmonic oscillator and the $k$th-order harmonic generation within the framework of Bargmann-Hilbert spaces of entire functions. For the displaced, single-mode squeezed and two-mode squeezed harmonic oscillators, we derive the exact, closed-form expressions for their energies and wave functions. For the $k$th-order harmonic g

We give a realization of the level zero fundamental weight representation $W(\varpi_k)$ of the quantum affine algebra $U_q'(\mf{g})$, when $\mf{g}$ has a maximal parabolic subalgebra of type $C_n$.

Cas A is a Galactic supernova remnant whose supernova explosion is observed to be of Type IIb from spectroscopy of its light echo. Having its SN type known, observational constraints on the mass-loss history of Cas A's progenitor can provide crucial information on the final fate of massive stars. In this paper, we study X-ray characteristics of the shock

We show that the next-to-leading order corrections in the quark-lepton complementarity are important to explain the observed pattern of neutrino mixing. In particular, the next-to-leading order corrections 1) lead to a deviation of θ_{23} from maximal mixing, 2) reduce the predicted value of $\sin^2 2θ_{13}$ by 9.8%, 3) provide the same value of $\sin^2 θ_{1

Using maximal isotropic submodules in a quadratic module over Z_p, we prove the existence of a natural discrete probability distribution on the set of isomorphism classes of short exact sequences of co-finite type Z_p-modules, and then conjecture that as E varies over elliptic curves over a fixed global field k, the distribution of 0 --> E(k) tensor Q_p/Z_p

Scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by an anisotropic impedance right-angled concave wedge at skew incidence is analyzed. A closed-form solution is derived by reducing the problem to a symmetric order-2 vector Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) on the real axis. The problem of matrix factorization leads to a scalar RHP on a genus-3 Riemann surface. Its sol

In a network of interacting quantum systems achieving fast coherent energy transfer is a challenging task. While quantum systems are susceptible to a wide range of environmental factors, in many physical settings their interactions with quantized vibrations, or phonons, of a supporting structure are the most prevalent. This leads to noise and decoherence in

We discuss the residual carrier density (n*) near the Dirac point (DP) in graphene estimated by quantum capacitance (CQ) and conductivity measurements. The CQ at the DP has a finite value and is independent of the temperature. A similar behavior is also observed for the conductivity at the DP, because their origin is residual carriers induced externally by c

It is clearly important to pursue atomic standards for quantities like electromagnetic fields, time, length and gravity. We have recently shown, using Rydberg states, that Rb atoms in a vapor cell can serve as a practical, compact standard for microwave electric field strength.

We prove that for mappings $W^{1,n}(B^n, \R^n),$ continuous up to the boundary, with modulus of continuity satisfying certain divergence condition, the image of the boundary of the unit ball has zero $n$-Hausdorff measure. For Hölder continuous mappings we also prove an essentially sharp generalized Hausdorff dimension estimate.

We consider the error due to a single bit-flip in a floating point number. We assume IEEE 754 double precision arithmetic, which encodes binary floating point numbers in a 64-bit word. We assume that the bit-flip happens randomly so it has equi-probability (1/64) to hit any of the 64 bits. Since we want to mitigate the assumption on our initial floating-poin

We prove several Tauberian theorems for regularizing transforms of vector-valued distributions. The regularizing transform of $f$ is given by the integral transform $M^{f}_φ(x,y)=(f\astφ_{y})(x),$ $(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}_{+}$, with kernel $φ_{y}(t)=y^{-n}φ(t/y)$.

Since de discovery of graphene, the family of 2-dimensional materials has attracted much recent attention. In this work, the nonlinear optical properties of few-layer MoS2 two-dimensional crystals are studied using femtosecond laser pulses. We observed highly efficient second harmonic generation from the odd-layer crystals, which shows a polarization intensi

We prove the following theorem. Suppose that $F=(f_1, f_2)$ is a 2-dimensional vector-valued modular form on $SL_2(Z)$ whose component functions $f_1, f_2$ have rational Fourier coefficients with bounded denominators. Then $f_1$ and $f_2$ are classical modular forms on a congruence subgroup of the modular group.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a $(a,b)$-rectangle pattern on permutations that not only generalizes the notion of successive elements (bonds) in permutations, but is also related to mesh patterns introduced recently by Brändén and Claesson. We call the $(k,k)$-rectangle pattern the $k$-box pattern. To provide an enumeration result on the maximum

The Transit Timing Variations (TTVs) can be used as a diagnostic of gravitational interactions between planets in a multi-planet system. Many Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs) exhibit significant TTVs, but KOI-142.01 stands out among them with an unrivaled, 12-hour TTV amplitude.

Based on the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry, chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) is believed to approximate confinement scale QCD. Dedicated and increasingly accurate experiments and improving lattice calculations are confirming this belief, and we are entering a new era in which we can test confinement scale QCD in some well chosen reactions. This is

The redshift dependence of the abundance of galaxy clusters is very sensitive to the statistical properties of primordial density perturbations. It can thus be used to probe small deviations from Gaussian initial conditions. Such deviations constitute a very important signature of many inflationary scenarios, and are thus expected to provide crucial informat

We review the effects of macromolecular crowding on the folding of RNA by considering the simplest scenario when excluded volume interactions between crowding particles and RNA dominate. Using human telomerase enzyme as an example, we discuss how crowding can alter the equilibrium between pseudoknot and hairpin states of the same RNA molecule - a key aspect

Electron transport in electric-field-driven tight-binding lattice coupled to fermion baths is comprehensively studied. We reformulate the problem by using the scattering state method within the Coulomb gauge.

Massive present-day early-type (elliptical and lenticular) galaxies probably gained the bulk of their stellar mass and heavy elements through intense, dust-enshrouded starbursts - that is, increased rates of star formation - in the most massive dark matter halos at early epochs. However, it remains unknown how soon after the Big Bang such massive starburst p

We study the the interplay between spontaneously broken valley symmetry and spatial disorder in multivalley semiconductors in the quantum Hall regime. In cases where valleys have anisotropic electron dispersion a previous long-wavelength analysis [Phys. Rev. B 82, 035428 (2010)] identified two new phases exhibiting the QHE. The first is the quantum Hall Isin

The members of the scarce category of Of^+ supergiants present properties that are intermediate between regular O-stars and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. Significant similarities between these transitional stars and WN-type objects are now clearly established, at least in the visible and near-infrared domains, pointing to common stellar wind properties.

We provide a set of chiral boundary conditions for three-dimensional gravity that allow for asymptotic symmetries identical to those of two-dimensional induced gravity in light-cone gauge considered by Polyakov. These are the most general boundary conditions consistent with the boundary terms introduced by Compere, Song and Strominger recently. We show that

We demonstrate that partonic correlations that would traditionally be identified as subleading on the basis of a generalized TMD-factorization conjecture can become leading-power because of TMD-factorization breaking that arises in hadron-hadron collisions with large transverse momentum back-to-back hadrons produced in the final state. General forms of TMD-f

For disc galaxies, a close relation exists between the distribution of light and the shape of the rotation curve. We quantify this relation by measuring the inner circular-velocity gradient d_{R}V(0) for spiral and irregular galaxies with high-quality rotation curves.

Neutron scattering is a powerful probe of strongly correlated systems. It can directly detect common phenomena such as magnetic order, and can be used to determine the coupling between magnetic moments through measurements of the spin-wave dispersions. In the absence of magnetic order, one can detect diffuse scattering and dynamic correlations. Neutrons are

We study the use of WebdamLog, a declarative high-level lan- guage in the style of datalog, to support the distribution of both data and knowledge (i.e., programs) over a network of au- tonomous peers. The main novelty of WebdamLog compared to datalog is its use of delegation, that is, the ability for a peer to communicate a program to another peer. We prese

We investigate the thermodynamical and causal consistency of cosmological models of the cubic Quasi-Topological Gravity (QTG) in four dimensions, as well as their phenomenological consequences. Specific restrictions on the maximal values of the matter densities are derived by requiring the apparent horizon&#39;s entropy to be a non-negative, non-decreasing f

Web sequential patterns are important for analyzing and understanding users behaviour to improve the quality of service offered by the World Wide Web. Web Prefetching is one such technique that utilizes prefetching rules derived through Cyclic Model Analysis of the mined Web sequential patterns. The more accurate the prediction and more satisfying the result

In the paper by Franosch et al., Nature 478, 85 (2011), the positional fluctuations of Brownian microspheres in fluids were studied by confining the particles in an optical trap. Experimental access to short timescales has revealed a resonance peak in the spectrum of these fluctuations, in contrast to the commonly assumed overdamped motion. This work is also

We construct different classes of lumpings for a family of Markov chain products which reflect the structure of a given finite poset. We use essentially combinatorial methods. We prove that, for such a product, every lumping can be obtained from the action of a suitable subgroup of the generalized wreath product of symmetric groups, acting on the underlying

We give new characterisations of sets of positive reach and show that a closed hypersurface has positive reach if and only if it is of class $C^{1,1}$. These results are then used to prove new alternating Steiner formulæ for hypersurfaces of positive reach. Furthermore, it will turn out that every hypersurface that satisfies an alternating Steiner formula ha

We prove a strong conditional unique continuation estimate for irreducible quasimodes in rotationally invariant neighbourhoods on compact surfaces of revolution. The estimate states that Laplace quasimodes which cannot be decomposed as a sum of other quasimodes have $L^2$ mass bounded below by $C_ελ^{-1 - ε}$ for any $ε>0$ on any open rotationally invariant

This paper continues the work Y. Suhov, M. Kelbert. FK-DLR states of a quantum bose-gas, arXiv:1304.0782 [math-ph], and focuses on infinite-volume bosonic states for a quantum system (a quantum gas) in a plane. We work under similar assumptions upon the form of local Hamiltonians and the type of the (pair) interaction potential as in the reference above. The
