The classical problem of moments is addressed by the maximum entropy approach for one-dimensional discrete distributions. The numerical technique of adaptive support approximation is proposed to reconstruct the distributions in the region where the main part of probability mass is located.

The critical group of an abelian network is a finite abelian group that governs the behavior of the network on large inputs. It generalizes the sandpile group of a graph. We show that the critical group of an irreducible abelian network acts freely and transitively on recurrent states of the network. We exhibit the critical group as a quotient of a free abel

Abelian networks are systems of communicating automata satisfying a local commutativity condition. We show that a finite irreducible abelian network halts on all inputs if and only if all eigenvalues of its production matrix lie in the open unit disk.

We study the classification of interacting fermionic and bosonic symmetry protected topological (SPT) states. We define a SPT state as whether or not it is separated from the trivial state through a bulk phase transition, which is a general definition applicable to SPT states with or without spatial symmetries. We show that in all dimensions short range inte

The periodic sl(2|1) alternating spin chain encodes (some of) the properties of hulls of percolation clusters, and is described in the continuum limit by a logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT) at central charge c=0. This theory corresponds to the strong coupling regime of a sigma model on the complex projective superspace $\mathbb{CP}^{1|1} = \mathrm{U}

This paper aims to develop a verification method for procedural programs via a transformation into Logically Constrained Term Rewriting Systems (LCTRSs). To this end, we extend transformation methods based on integer TRSs to handle arbitrary data types, global variables, function calls and arrays, as well as encode safety checks. Then we adapt existing rewri

It is shown that the operad maps $E_n\to E_{n+k}$ are formal over the reals for $k\geq 2$ and non-formal for $k=1$. Furthermore we compute the cohomology of the deformation complex of the operad maps $E_{n}\to E_{n+1}$, proving an algebraic version of the Cerf Lemma.

The classical AM-GM inequality has been generalized in a number of ways. Generalizations which incorporate variance appear to be the most useful in economics and finance, as well as mathematically natural. Previous work leaves unanswered the question of finding sharp bounds for the geometric mean in terms of the arithmetic mean and variance. In this paper we
On ultra-high energy cosmic ray acceleration at the termination shock of young pulsar winds

Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are outstanding accelerators in Nature, in the sense that they accelerate electrons up to the radiation reaction limit. Motivated by this observation, this paper examines the possibility that young pulsar wind nebulae can accelerate ions to ultra-high energies at the termination shock of the pulsar wind. We consider here powerful P

In this paper we study the structure of the Algebraic Cobordism ring of a variety as a module over the Lazard ring, and show that it has relations in positive codimensions. We actually prove the stronger graded version. This extends the result of M.Levine-F.Morel claiming that this module has generators in non-negative codimensions. As an application we comp

We show that if $T$ is any of four semigroups of two elements that are not groups, there exists a finite dimensional associative $T$-graded algebra over a field of characteristic $0$ such that the codimensions of its graded polynomial identities have a non-integer exponent of growth. In particular, we provide an example of a finite dimensional graded-simple

The presence of geometric phases is known to affect the dynamics of the systems involved. Here we consider a quantum degree of freedom, moving in a dissipative environment, whose dynamics is described by a Langevin equation with quantum noise. We show that geometric phases enter the stochastic noise terms. Specifically, we consider small ferromagnetic partic

We use modular symmetric designs to study the existence of Hadamard matrices modulo certain primes. We solve the $7$-modular and $11$-modular versions of the Hadamard conjecture for all but a finite number of cases. In doing so, we state a conjecture for a sufficient condition for the existence of a $p$-modular Hadamard matrix for all but finitely many cases

We propose a generic framework to describe classical Ising-like models defined on arbitrary graphs. The energy spectrum is shown to be the Hadamard transform of a suitably defined sparse "coding" vector associated with the graph. We expect that the existence of a fast Hadamard transform algorithm (used for instance in image ccompression processes), t

We study the influence of quantum fluctuations on the phase, density, and pair correlations in a trapped quasicondensate after a quench of the interaction strength. To do so, we derive a description similar to the stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation (SGPE) but keeping a fully quantum description of the low-energy fields using the positive-P representation.

The frequency-dependent amplitude and phase in piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) measurements are shown to be a consequence of the Euler-Bernoulli (EB) dynamics of atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever beams used to make the measurements.

Shape Dynamics (SD) is a new theory of gravity that is based on fewer and more fundamental first principles than General Relativity (GR). The most important feature of SD is the replacement of GR's relativity of simultaneity with a more tractable gauge symmetry, namely invariance under spatial conformal transformations.

We prove that if a set $B$ in a Banach space $X$ can be written as an increasing, countable union $B=\cup_n B_n$ of sets $B_n$ such that no $B_n$ is uniform boundedness deciding, then also $B$ is not uniform boundedness deciding. From this we can give a positive answer to a question of M. Valdivia.

In this paper, we are concerned with the weighted backup 2-center problem on a tree. The backup 2-center problem is a kind of center facility location problem, in which one is asked to deploy two facilities, with a given probability to fail, in a network. Given that the two facilities do not fail simultaneously, the goal is to find two locations, possibly on

Bright single photon emission from the levitated QD in the droplet was observed for more than 200 s. The observed photon count rates are consistent with the value theoretically estimated from the two-photon-action cross section. This paper pr

We study 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds equipped with a minimal and conformal foliation $\mathcal F$ of codimension 2. We prove that the two adapted almost Hermitian structures $J_1$ and $J_2$ are both cosymplectic if and only if $\mathcal F$ is Riemannian and its horizontal distribution $\mathcal H$ is integrable.

We consider the problem of mapping digital data encoded on a quantum register to analog amplitudes in parallel. It is shown to be unlikely that a fully unitary polynomial-time quantum algorithm exists for this problem; NP becomes a subset of BQP if it exists. In the practical point of view, we propose a nonunitary linear-time algorithm using quantum decohere

A new formulation of the Navier-Stokes equation, in terms of the gradient of the total mechanical energy, is derived for the time-averaged flows, and the singular point possibly existing in the Navier-Stokes equation is exactly found. Transition of a laminar flow to turbulence must be implemented via this singular point. For pressure driven flows, this singu

Recommender Systems (RS) play a vital role in applications such as e-commerce and on-demand content streaming. Research on RS has mainly focused on the customer perspective, i.e., accurate prediction of user preferences and maximization of user utilities. As a result, most existing techniques are not explicitly built for revenue maximization, the primary bus

An $L$-space link is a link in $S^3$ on which all large surgeries are $L$-spaces. In this paper, we initiate a general study of the definitions, properties, and examples of $L$-space links. In particular, we find many hyperbolic $L$-space links, including some chain links and two-bridge links; from them, we obtain many hyperbolic $L$-spaces by integral surge

We do a perturbative calculation of the anomalous chromomagnetic dipole moment of quarks at one-loop, also considering the effect of a small gauge-invariant mass of the gluon. We find partial agreement with a previous calculation, as well as a divergence. We explain these results by noting that perturbation theory is not valid at the energy scales where thes

The conformal flow of metrics [2] has been used to successfully establish a special case of the Penrose inequality, which yields a lower bound for the total mass of a spacetime in terms of horizon area.

Through a new estimation of covariance matrices, this work extend the use of Riemannian geometry, which was previously limited to SMR-based BCI, to the problem of classification of ERPs. As compared to the state-of-the-art, this new

The chemical pressure effect on the structural, transport, magnetic and electronic properties (by measuring X-ray photoemission spectroscopy) of ZnV2O4 has been investigated by doping Mn and Co on the Zinc site of ZnV2O4. With Mn doping the V-V distance increases and with Co doping it decreases. The resistivity and thermoelectric power data indicate that as

In this note, we show how to marginalize over the damping parameter of the PageRank equation so as to obtain a parameter-free version known as TotalRank. Our discussion is meant as a reference and intended to provide a guided tour towards an interesting result that has applications in information retrieval and classification.

We convert a conjectured inequality from quantum information theory, due to He and Vidal, into a block matrix inequality and prove a special case. Given $n$ matrices $A_i$, $i=1,\ldots,n$, of the same size, let $Z_1$ and $Z_2$ be the block matrices $Z_1:=(A_jA_i^*)_{i,j=1}^n$ and $Z_2:=(A_j^*A_i)_{i,j=1}^n$. Then the conjectured inequality is \[ \left(||Z_1|

We show that if $\mathcal{L}$ is a line in the plane containing a badly approximable vector, then almost every point in $\mathcal{L}$ does not admit an improvement in Dirichlet's theorem. Our proof relies on a measure classification result for certain measures invariant under a non-abelian two dimensional group on the homogeneous space $\mathrm{SL}_3(\ma

We show that various old and new bounds involving eigenvalues of a complex n x n matrix are immediate consequences of the inequalities involving variance of real and complex numbers.

Modern computing and data storage systems increasingly rely on parallel architectures where processing and storage load is distributed within a cluster of nodes. The necessity for high-bandwidth data links has made optical communication a critical constituent of modern information systems and silicon the leading platform for creating the necessary optical co

An analysis shows that the ground state of the inhomogeneous system of interacting electrons in the static external field, which satisfies the thermodynamic limit, can be consistently described only using the Green function theory based on the quantum field theory methods (perturbation theory diagram technique). In this case, the ground state energy and inho

The main aim of this paper is to construct a multi-secret sharing scheme for general access structure in a trusted dealer model using suitable hash function and Lagrange's interpolation method. Even though, the proposed scheme is a multi-secret and multi-use one, each participant has to carry only one share. The suitable use of collision resistant one wa
Transport in disordered monolayer molybdenum disulfide nanoflakes: evidence for inhomogeneous charge transport
cond-mat.dis-nnShun-Tsung Lo, O. Klochan, C. -H. Liu, W. -H. Wang
We study charge transport in a monolayer molybdenum disulfide nanoflake over a wide range of carrier density, temperature, and electric bias. We find that the transport is best described by a percolating picture in which the disorder breaks translational invariance, breaking the system up into a series of puddles, rather than previous pictures in which the d
