COMPASS final results on multiplicities of charged hadrons and of identified pions and kaons produced in the deep inelastic muon scattering off an isoscalar target are presented and compared to HERMES results. Measurements are done in bins of x, y and z in a wide kinematic range. The hadron and pion data show a good agreement with (N)LO QCD expectations. The

Formulas for the primitive idempotents of the trivial source algebra, in characteristic zero, have been given by Boltje and Bouc--Thévenaz. We shall give another formula for those idempotents, expressing them as linear combinations of the elements of a canonical basis for the integral ring. The formula is an inversion formula analogous to the Gluck--Yoshida

During the last ten years, increasing efforts were made to improve and simplify the process from Computer Aided Design (CAD) modeling to a numerical simulation. It has been shown that the transition from one model to another, i.e. the meshing, is a bottle-neck. Several approaches have been developed to overcome this time-consuming step, e.g. Isogeometric Ana

We introduce and study a new partial order on Dyck paths. We prove that these posets are meet-semilattices. We show that their numbers of intervals are the same as the number of bicubic planar maps. We describe an unexpected connection with the Hochschild polytopes of Saneblidze.

In predictive maintenance, model performance is usually assessed by means of precision, recall, and F1-score. However, employing the model with best performance, e.g. highest F1-score, does not necessarily result in minimum maintenance cost, but can instead lead to additional expenses. Thus, we propose to perform model selection based on the economic costs a

We present a new criterion for the complex hyperbolicity of a non-compact quotient X of a bounded symmetric domain. For each p $\ge$ 1, this criterion gives a precise condition under which the subvarieties V $\subset$ X with dim V $\ge$ p are of general type, and X is p-measure hyperbolic. Then, we give several applications related to ball quotients, or to t

If the space of minima of the effective potential of a weakly coupled 2d quantum field theory is not connected, then a mass gap will be nonpertubatively generated. As examples, we consider two sigma models compactified on a small circle with twisted boundary conditions. In the compactified SO(3) model the vacuum manifold consists of two points and the mass g

We describe and experimentally implement a single-ion local thermometry technique with absolute sensitivity adaptable to all laser-cooled atomic ion species. The technique is based on the velocity-dependent spectral shape of a quasi-dark resonance tailored in a J $\rightarrow$ J transition such that the two driving fields can be derived from the same laser s

We investigate the application of syzygies for efficiently computing (finite) Pommaret bases. For this purpose, we first describe a non-trivial variant of Gerdt's algorithm to construct an involutive basis for the input ideal as well as an involutive basis for the syzygy module of the output basis. Then we apply this new algorithm in the context of Seile

Visual recognition systems are meant to work in the real world. For this to happen, they must work robustly in any visual domain, and not only on the data used during training. Within this context, a very realistic scenario deals with domain generalization, i.e. the ability to build visual recognition algorithms able to work robustly in several visual domain

In this paper, we study first the relationship between Pommaret bases and Hilbert series. Given a finite Pommaret basis, we derive new explicit formulas for the Hilbert series and for the degree of the ideal generated by it which exhibit more clearly the influence of each generator. Then we establish a new dimension depending Bezout bound for the degree and

We consider the Robin Laplacian in the domains $Ω$ and $Ω^\varepsilon$, $\varepsilon >0$, with sharp and blunted cusps, respectively. Assuming that the Robin coefficient $a$ is large enough, the spectrum of the problem in $Ω$ is known to be residual and to cover the whole complex plane, but on the contrary, the spectrum in the Lipschitz domain $Ω^\varepsilon

In this note we consider the Iwatsuka model with a postive increasing magnetic field having finite limits. The associated magnetic Laplacian is fibred through partial Fourier transform, and, for large frequencies, the band functions tend to the Landau levels, which are thresholds in the spectrum. The asymptotics of the band functions is already known when th

For any characteristic zero coefficient field, an irreducible representation of a finite $p$-group can be assigned a Roquette $p$-group, called the genotype.

We study the propagation of elastic waves in the time-harmonic regime in a waveguide which is unbounded in one direction and bounded in the two other (transverse) directions.

Let $G$ be a regular graph of degree $d$ and let $A\subset V(G)$. Say that $A$ is $η$-closed if the average degree of the subgraph induced by $A$ is at least $ηd$. This says that if we choose a random vertex $x\in A$ and a random neighbour $y$ of $x$, then the probability that $y\in A$ is at least $η$. The work of this paper was motivated by an attempt to ob

Little known relations of the renown concept of the halfspace depth for multivariate data with notions from convex and affine geometry are discussed.

Complex textual information extraction tasks are often posed as sequence labeling or \emph{shallow parsing}, where fields are extracted using local labels made consistent through probabilistic inference in a graphical model with constrained transitions. Recently, it has become common to locally parametrize these models using rich features extracted by recurr

Vehicle trajectory data collected via GPS-enabled devices have played increasingly important roles in estimating network-wide traffic, given their broad spatial-temporal coverage and representativeness of traffic dynamics. This paper exploits taxi GPS data, license plate recognition (LPR) data and geographical information for reconstructing the spatial and t

We present the analysis of the caustic-crossing binary microlensing event OGLE-2017-BLG-0039. Thanks to the very long duration of the event, with an event time scale $t_{\rm E}\sim 130$ days, the microlens parallax is precisely measured despite its small value of $\pie\sim 0.06$. The analysis of the well-resolved caustic crossings during both the source star

Understanding theoretical properties of deep and locally connected nonlinear network, such as deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), is still a hard problem despite its empirical success. In this paper, we propose a novel theoretical framework for such networks with ReLU nonlinearity. The framework explicitly formulates data distribution, favors disentang

We consider standing lattice solitons for discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation with saturation (NLSS), where so-called transparent points were recently discovered. These transparent points are the values of the governing parameter (e.g., the lattice spacing) for which the Peierls-Nabarro barrier vanishes. In order to explain the existence of transparent p

In this paper, we discuss multiscale methods for nonlinear problems. The main idea of these approaches is to use local constraints and solve problems in oversampled regions for constructing macroscopic equations. These techniques are intended for problems without scale separation and high contrast, which often occur in applications. For linear problems, the

We present an integrated experimental and quantitative theoretical study of the mechanics of self-crosslinked, neutral, repulsive pNIPAM microgel suspensions over concentration (c) range spanning the fluid, glassy and putative &#34;soft jammed&#34; regimes. In the glassy regime we measure a linear elastic dynamic shear modulus over 3 decades which follows an
