The study of the top quark has a central role for both the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The measurement of the $t\bar{t}$ production differential cross section, in particular, is sensitive to existence of new resonances, it is a stringent test of perturbative QCD calculations and it is used to improve the modelling of $t\bar{t}$ production. ATLAS and CMS provi

Mathematical equations can be used as effectual tools in drug delivery systems modeling and are also highly helpful to have a theoretical understanding of controlled drug release and diffusion mechanisms. In this study we aim to present a mathematical combination between the Bernoulli equation and the Fick's equation as a diffusion controller in drug deliver

We continue, generalize and expand our study of linear degenerations of flag varieties from [G. Cerulli Irelli, X. Fang, E. Feigin, G. Fourier, M. Reineke, Math. Z. 287 (2017), no. 1-2, 615-654]. We realize partial flag varieties as quiver Grassmannians for equi-oriented type A quivers and construct linear degenerations by varying the corresponding quiver re

The two key players in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), the discriminator and generator, are usually parameterized as deep neural networks (DNNs). On many generative tasks, GANs achieve state-of-the-art performance but are often unstable to train and sometimes miss modes. A typical failure mode is the collapse of the generator to a single parameter co

We study electronic transport in two-dimensional spin-orbit coupled electron gas subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. The interplay of the spin-orbit interaction and the magnetic field leads to the Van Hove singularity of the density of states and strong anisotropy of Fermi contours. We develop a method that allows one to exactly calculate the nonequilib

In this work we explore the potential of a new data-driven approach to the design of exchange-correlation (XC) functionals. The approach, inspired by convolutional filters in computer vision and surrogate functions from optimization, utilizes convolutions of the electron density to form a feature space to represent local electronic environments and neural ne

The research of metamaterials has achieved enormous success in the manipulation of light in an artificially prescribed manner using delicately designed sub-wavelength structures, so-called meta-atoms. Even though modern numerical methods allow to accurately calculate the optical response of complex structures, the inverse design of metamaterials is still a c

We develop a categorical index calculus for elliptic symbol families. The categorified index problems we consider are a secondary version of the traditional problem of expressing the index class in K-theory in terms of differential-topological data. They include orientation problems for moduli spaces as well as similar problems for skew-adjoint and self-adjo

We consider an inverse problem for Laplacians on rotationally symmetric manifolds, which are finite for the transversal direction and periodic with respect to the axis of the manifold, i.e., Laplacians on tori. We construct an infinite dimensional analytic isomorphism between the space of profiles (the radius of the rotation) of the torus and the spectral da

Storage systems often rely on multiple copies of the same compressed data, enabling recovery in case of binary data errors, of course, at the expense of a higher storage cost. In this paper we show that a wiser method of duplication entails great potential benefits for data types tolerating approximate representations, like images and videos. We propose a me

We consider the time evolution of a state in an isolated quantum spin lattice system with energy cumulants proportional to the number of the sites $L^d$. We compute the distribution of the eigenvalues of the time averaged state over a time window $[t_0,t_0+t]$ in the limit of large $L$. This allows us to infer the size of a subspace that captures time evolut

For most values of parameters $\lambda$ and $\alpha$, the zeros of the Lerch zeta-function $L(\lambda, \alpha, s)$ are distributed very chaotically. In this paper we consider the special case of equal parameters $L(\lambda, \lambda, s)$ and show by calculations that the nontrivial zeros either lie extremely close to the critical line $\sigma = 1/2$ or are di

Boosting algorithms produce a classifier by iteratively combining base hypotheses. It has been observed experimentally that the generalization error keeps improving even after achieving zero training error. One popular explanation attributes this to improvements in margins.

The embedding layers transforming input words into real vectors are the key components of deep neural networks used in natural language processing. However, when the vocabulary is large, the corresponding weight matrices can be enormous, which precludes their deployment in a limited resource setting.

Observations show that transverse magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and flows are often simultaneously present in magnetic loops of the solar corona. The waves are resonantly damped in the Alfv\'en continuum because of plasma and/or magnetic field nonuniformity across the loop. The resonant damping is relevant in the context of coronal heating, since it provid

We propose how to achieve quantum nonreciprocity via unconventional photon blockade (UPB) in a compound device consisting of an optical harmonic resonator and a spinning optomechanical resonator. We show that, even with an extremely weak single-photon nonlinearity, nonreciprocal UPB can emerge in this system, i.e., strong photon antibunching can emerge only

The minimum dominating set problem asks for a dominating set with minimum size. First, we determine some vertices contained in the minimum dominating set of a graph. By applying a particular scheme, we ensure that the resulting graph is 2-connected and the length of each formed induced cycle is 0 mod 3. We label every three vertices in the induced cycles of

The paper investigates the kind of dependence relation that best portrays Machian frame-dragging in general relativity. The question is tricky because frame-dragging relates local inertial frames to distant distributions of matter in a time-independent way, thus establishing some sort of non-local link between the two. For this reason, a plain causal interpr

Analog Beamsteering (ABS) has emerged as a low complexity, power efficient solution for MillimeterWave (mmWave) massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems. Moreover, driven by the low spatial correlation between the User Terminals (UTs) with high number of transmit antennas (massive MIMO) at the Base Station (BS), ABS can be used to support Multi

A topological space is defined to be banalytic (resp. analytic) if it is the image of a Polish space under a Borel (resp. continuous) map. A regular topological space is analytic if and only if it is banalytic and cosmic. Each (regular) banalytic space has countable spread (and under PFA is hereditarily Lindel\"of). Applying banalytic spaces to topological g

We present the results of photometric observations of three TeV blazars, 3C 66A, S5 0954+658 and BL Lacertae, during the period 2013--2017. Our extensive observations were performed in a total of 360 nights which produced $\sim$6820 image frames in BVRI bands. We study flux and spectral variability of these blazars on these lengthy timescales. We also examin

We present new algorithms to detect and correct errors in the lower-upper factorization of a matrix, or the triangular linear system solution, over an arbitrary field. Our main algorithms do not require any additional information or encoding other than the original inputs and the erroneous output. Their running time is softly linear in the dimension times th

We introduce GeNet, a method for shotgun metagenomic classification from raw DNA sequences that exploits the known hierarchical structure between labels for training. We provide a comparison with state-of-the-art methods Kraken and Centrifuge on datasets obtained from several sequencing technologies, in which dataset shift occurs. We show that GeNet obtains

The contour of a family of filters along a filter is a set-theoretic lower limit. Topologicity and regularity of convergences can be characterized with the aid of the contour operation. Contour inversion is studied, in particular, for iterated contours of sequential cascades. A related problem of continuous extension of maps between maximal elements of seque

First conceived as a topological construction, Wada basins abound in dynamical systems. Basins of attraction showing the Wada property possess the particular feature that any small perturbation of an initial condition lying on the boundary can lead the system to any of its possible outcomes. The saddle-straddle method, described here, is a new method to iden

We prove that any topological group $G$ containing a subspace $X$ of the Sorgenfrey line has spread $s(G)\ge s(X\times X)$. Under OCA, each topological group containing an uncountable subspace of the Sorgenfrey line has uncountable spread. This implies that under OCA a cometrizable topological group $G$ is cosmic if and only if it has countable spread. On th
