These lectures provide a self-contained introduction to the essential aspects of non-supersymmetric beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics for beginning graduate students who are already familiar with quantum field theory. After a detailed review of the physical meaning of the hierarchy problem, we introduce the key ingredients of the physics of Goldstone b

We discuss the possible extensions of Bethe/gauge correspondence to quantum integrable systems based on the super-Lie algebras of A type. Along the way we propose the analogues of Nakajima quiver varieties whose cohomology and K-theory should carry the representations of the corresponding Yangian and the quantum affine algebras, respectively. We end up with

Anomalies and outliers are common in real-world data, and they can arise from many sources, such as sensor faults. Accordingly, anomaly detection is important both for analyzing the anomalies themselves and for cleaning the data for further analysis of its ambient structure. Nonetheless, a precise definition of anomalies is important for automated detection

The paper is devoted to the development of a methodology for evaluating the scalability of compute-intensive iterative algorithms used in simulating complex physical processes on supercomputer systems. The proposed methodology is based on the BSF (Bulk Synchronous Farm) parallel computation model, which makes it possible to predict the upper scalability boun

Providing reinforcement learning agents with informationally rich human knowledge can dramatically improve various aspects of learning. Prior work has developed different kinds of shaping methods that enable agents to learn efficiently in complex environments. All these methods, however, tailor human guidance to agents in specialized shaping procedures, thus

A lattice system of spinor atoms or molecules experiencing quadratic Zeeman effect is considered. This can be an optical lattice with sufficiently deep wells at lattice sites, so that the system is in an isolating state, where atoms are well localized. But their effective spins can move in the presence of external magnetic fields. The dynamics of spins, star

Cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) have a wide range of applications owing to their particular polarization characteristics and optical field distributions. For the first time, an azimuthally polarized fiber laser without any polarization controller is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. The scheme is based on a self-designed ring-core fiber and transvers

We establish estimates for the Lebesgue parameters of the Chebyshev Weak Thresholding Greedy Algorithm in the case of general bases in Banach spaces. These generalize and slightly improve earlier results in [9], and are complemented with examples showing the optimality of the bounds. Our results also correct certain bounds recently announced in [18], and ans

The dynamical Casimir effect is the generation of pairs of real particles or photons from the vacuum as a result of a non-adiabatic change of a system parameter or boundary condition. As opposed to standard parametric amplification where the modulation occurs both in space and in time, this fundamental process requires a pure modulation in time, which makes

In the framework of quark delocalization color screening model, both the hidden-charm and hidden-bottom pentaquark resonances are studied in the hadron-hadron scattering process. A few narrow pentaquark resonances with hidden-charm above $4.2$ GeV, and some narrow pentaquark resonances with hidden-bottom above $11$ GeV are found from corresponding scattering

Optical tweezers are powerful tools for high resolution study of surface properties. Such experiments are traditionally performed by studying the active or the brownian fluctuation of trapped particles in the X, Y, Z direction. Here we find that employing the fourth dimension, rotation, allows for sensitive and fast probing of the surface. Optical tweezers a

Inspired by a recent work of Grove-Petersen in [GP18], where the authors studied Alexandrov spaces with largest possible boundary. We study Alexandrov spaces with lower curvature bound 1 and with small boundary. When the radius of X is π/2, and the boundary has diameter π/2, we classify the total space X.

The ice phase in clouds contributes largely to uncertainties in global climate models partly due to a lack of atmospheric observations. At moderate supercooling ice nucleating particles (INP) and ice particles (IP) are present in small concentrations and a large volume of air is necessary for observation. Here, we report on initial observations of IP in supe

Existing 3D extensions to the standard model show that flux-rope footpoints are surrounded by curved-shaped QSL-footprints that can be related with hook-shaped flare-ribbons. We build upon this finding and further address the joint questions of their time-evolution, and of the formation of flare loops at the ends of flaring PILs of the erupting bipole, which

A fluid particle changes its dynamics from diffusive to oscillatory as the system density increases up to the melting density. Hence, the notion of the Frenkel line was introduced to demarcate the fluid region into rigid and nonrigid liquid subregions based on the collective particle dynamics. In this work, we apply a topological framework to locate the Fren

We draw systematic parallels between the measurement problem in quantum mechanics and the information loss problem in black holes. Then we proceed to propose a solution of the former along the lines of the solution of the latter which is based on the holographic gauge/gravity duality.

We extend a well-known theorem of Burnside in the setting of general fields as follows: for a general field $F$ the matrix algebra $M_n(F)$ is the only algebra in $M_n(F)$ which is spanned by an irreducible semigroup of triangularizable matrices. In other words, for a semigroup of triangularizable matrices with entries from a general field irreducibility is

Recognizing sEMG (Surface Electromyography) signals belonging to a particular action (e.g., lateral arm raise) automatically is a challenging task as EMG signals themselves have a lot of variation even for the same action due to several factors. To overcome this issue, there should be a proper separation which indicates similar patterns repetitively for a pa

Using ab initio methods based on the density functional theory we show that rotated graphene bilayers at angles different from the magic ones can have an electronic spectrum similar to those by applying moderate external pressures. We find that for an angle of $5.08^{\circ}$ and a pressure of 2.19 GPa the spin restricted spectrum displays a flat band at the

We formalize the argument that political disagreements can be traced to a "clash of narratives". Drawing on the "Bayesian Networks" literature, we model a narrative as a causal model that maps actions into consequences, weaving a selection of other random variables into the story. An equilibrium is defined as a probability distribution over n

Coplanar model states for applications of the coupled cluster method (CCM) to problems in quantum magnetism are those in which all spins lie in a plane, whereas three-dimensional (3D) model states are, by contrast, non-coplanar ones in which all the spins do not lie in any single plane. Here we extend the CCM to non-coplanar / 3D model states and we present

Since the 1970s contact geometry has been recognized as an appropriate framework for the geometric formulation of the state properties of thermodynamic systems, without, however, addressing the formulation of non-equilibrium thermodynamic processes. In Balian & Valentin (2001) it was shown how the symplectization of contact manifolds provides a new vantage p

Poisson structures of divisor-type are those whose degeneracy can be captured by a divisor ideal, which is a locally principal ideal sheaf with nowhere-dense quotient support. This is a large class of Poisson structures which includes all generically-nondegenerate Poisson structures, such as log-, $b^k$-, elliptic, elliptic-log, and scattering Poisson struct

Conventional deep neural network (DNN)-based speech enhancement (SE) approaches aim to minimize the mean square error (MSE) between enhanced speech and clean reference. The MSE-optimized model may not directly improve the performance of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. If the target is to minimize the recognition error, the recognition results s

We present a network-based framework for simulating systemic risk that considers shock propagation in banking systems. In particular, the framework allows the modeller to reflect a top-down framework where a shock to one bank in the system affects the solvency and liquidity position of other banks, through systemic market risks and consequential liquidity st

We study analytic deformations of holomorphic differential 1-forms. The initial 1-form is exact homogeneous and the deformation is by polynomial integrable 1-forms. We investigate under which conditions the elements of the deformation are still exact or, more generally, exhibit a first integral. Our results are related to natural extensions of classical resu

The magnetic correlations in the austenite phase and the consequent martensitic transition in inverse magnetocaloric alloys, Ni$_{2}$Mn$_{1+x}$Sn$_{1-x}$, have been a matter of debate for decades.

We report on the first measurement of the Seebeck coefficient in a tunnel-contacted and gate-tunable individual single-quantum dot junction in the Kondo regime, fabricated using the electromigration technique. This fundamental thermoelectric parameter is obtained by directly monitoring the magnitude of the voltage induced in response to a temperature differe

Holoscopic 3D imaging is a promising technique for capturing full colour spatial 3D images using a single aperture holoscopic 3D camera. It mimics fly's eye technique with a microlens array, which views the scene at a slightly different angle to its adjacent lens that records three dimensional information onto a two dimensional surface.

In this paper, we study a wireless networked control system (WNCS) with $N \ge 2$ sub-systems sharing a common wireless channel. Each sub-system consists of a plant and a controller and the control message must be delivered from the controller to the plant through the shared wireless channel. The wireless channel is unreliable due to interference and fading.

Aiming at separating the cartoon and texture layers from an image, cartoon-texture decomposition approaches resort to image priors to model cartoon and texture respectively. In recent years, patch recurrence has emerged as a powerful prior for image recovery. However, the existing strategies of using patch recurrence are ineffective to cartoon-texture decomp

We propose a simple exact analytical solution for a model consisting of a two-level system and a polychromatically driving field. It helps us to realize a rapid complete population transfer from the ground state to the excited state, and the system can be stable at the excited state for an extremely long time. A combination of the mechanism and the Rydberg a

The paper studies an extension to nonlinear systems of a recently proposed approach to the concept of modal participation factors. First, a definition is given for local mode-in-state participation factors for smooth nonlinear autonomous systems. The definition is general, and, unlike in the more traditional approach, the resulting participation measures dep

The Racah algebra and its higher rank extension are the algebras underlying the univariate and multivariate Racah polynomials. In this paper we develop two new models in which the Racah algebra naturally arises as symmetry algebra, namely the Bargmann model and the Barut-Girardello model.

Half-metals have fully spin polarized charge carriers at the Fermi surface. Such polarization usually occurs due to strong electron--electron correlations. Recently [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf{119}}, 107601 (2017)], we have demonstrated theoretically that adding (or removing) electrons to systems with Fermi surface nesting also stabilizes the half-metallic states

This paper is devoted to investigate an interpolation inequality between the Brezis-Vázquez and Poincaré inequalities (shortly, BPV inequality) on nonnegatively curved spaces. As a model case, we first prove that the BPV inequality holds on any Minkowski space, by fully characterizing the existence and shape of its extremals. We then prove that if a complete

We demonstrate quantum key distribution (QKD) with classical signals in a seven-core fiber using dense wavelength division multiplexing. Quantum signals are transmitted in an outer core separately and intercore crosstalk (IC-XT) is the main impairment of them. In order to alleviate IC-XT, we propose a quantum-classical interleave scheme. Then the properties

We consider a holographic description of the chiral symmetry breaking in an external magnetic field in $ (2+1) $-dimensional gauge theories from the softwall model using an improved dilaton field profile given by $Φ(z) = - kz^2 + (k+k_1)z^2\tanh (k_{2}z^2)$. We find inverse magnetic catalysis for $B<B_c$ and magnetic catalysis for $B>B_c$, where $B_c$ is the

The spectrum of charmonium resonances contains a number of unanticipated states along with several conventional quark-model excitations. The hadrons of different quantum numbers $J^P$ appear in a fairly narrow energy band, where $J^P$ refers to the spin-parity of a hadron at rest. This poses a challenge for Lattice QCD studies of (coupled-channel) meson-meso

Agnostophobia, the fear of the unknown, can be experienced by deep learning engineers while applying their networks to real-world applications. Unfortunately, network behavior is not well defined for inputs far from a networks training set. In an uncontrolled environment, networks face many instances that are not of interest to them and have to be rejected i

We consider the reduced density matrix for a disc in the ground state of the interacting fixed points of the large-N O(N) vector model in 2+1 dimensions. Using the map to the free energy on $\mathbb{H}_2 \times S^1$, we show that there is an instability in the Rényi entropies at $n = 1$, in the $N \rightarrow \infty$ limit, indicating a phase transition at o

In this paper, we develop an analytic physics-based model to describe current conduction in ultra-thin black phosphorus (BP) field-effect transistors (FETs). The model extends the concept of virtual source charge calculation to capture the effect of both hole and electron charges for ambipolar transport characteristics. The model comprehends the in-plane ban

Inspired by recent work by Closset, Kim and Willett, we derive a new formula for the superconformal (or supersymmetric) index of 4d N=1 theories. Such a formula is a finite sum, over the solution set of certain transcendental equations that we dub Bethe Ansatz Equations, of a function evaluated at those solutions.

This paper extends the results from the author&#39;s previous paper to consider finite, fiber- and orientation- preserving group actions on closed, orientable Seifert manifolds $M$ that fiber over a non-orientable base space. An orientable base space double cover $\tilde{M}$ of $M$ is constructed and then an isomorphism between the fiber- and orientation-pre

In quantum field theory it is believed that the spontaneous decay of excited atomic or molecular level is due to the interaction with continuum of field modes. Besides, the atom makes a transition from upper level to lower one so that the probability to find the atom in the excited state tends to zero. In this paper it will be shown that the mathematical mod
