We realize the dynamical 1D spin-orbit-coupling (SOC) of a Bose-Einstein condensate confined within an optical cavity. The SOC emerges through spin-correlated momentum impulses delivered to the atoms via Raman transitions. These are effected by classical pump fields acting in concert with the quantum dynamical cavity field. Above a critical pump power, the R

Filtration of real gases described by Peng-Robinson equations of state in 3-dimensional space is studied. Thermodynamic states are considered as either Legendrian submanifolds in contact space, or Lagrangian submanifolds in symplectic space. The correspondence between singularities of their projection on the plane of intensives and phase transitions is shown

Literary critics often attempt to uncover meaning in a single work of literature through careful reading and analysis. Applying natural language processing methods to aid in such literary analyses remains a challenge in digital humanities. While most previous work focuses on "distant reading" by algorithmically discovering high-level patterns from la

Due to the dynamic nature of real-world graphs, there has been a growing interest in the graph-streaming setting where a continuous stream of graph updates is mixed with arbitrary graph queries. In principle, purely-functional trees are an ideal choice for this setting due as they enable safe parallelism, lightweight snapshots, and strict serializability for

We are given a video of a person performing a certain activity, from which we extract a controllable model. The model generates novel image sequences of that person, according to arbitrary user-defined control signals, typically marking the displacement of the moving body. The generated video can have an arbitrary background, and effectively capture both the

This research note combines two methods that have recently improved the state of the art in language modeling: Transformers and dynamic evaluation. Transformers use stacked layers of self-attention that allow them to capture long range dependencies in sequential data. Dynamic evaluation fits models to the recent sequence history, allowing them to assign high

Changing dietary habits and keeping food diary encourages fewer calorie consumption, and thus weight loss. Studies have shown that people who keep food diary are more successful in losing weight and keeping it off. However, no study has investigated the nutritional values produced by food journaling applications. This is crucial since keeping food diaries he

In this paper, we take interest in finding applications for a hook-length formula recently proved in (Morales Pak Panova 2016). This formula can be applied to give a non trivial relation between alternating permutations and weighted Dyck paths. First, we give an alternative proof for this result using continued fractions, and then we apply a similar reasonin

HD 142990 is a Bp-type star with a nearly dipolar surface magnetic field of kG strength. Recently Lenc et al. (2018) reported the tentative discovery of Electron Cyclotron Maser Emission (ECME) from this star at 200 MHz. This type of emission has been observed from only three other hot magnetic stars. In this paper, we present our observations of HD 142990 w

Road network junctions, such as merges and diverges, often act as bottlenecks that initiate and exacerbate congestion. More complex junction configurations lead to more complex driver behaviors, resulting in aggregate congestion patterns that are more difficult to predict and mitigate. In this paper, we discuss diverge configurations where vehicles on some l

Bayesian inference for Markov jump processes (MJPs) where available observations relate to either system states or jumps typically relies on data-augmentation Markov Chain Monte Carlo. State-of-the-art developments involve representing MJP paths with auxiliary candidate jump times that are later thinned. However, these algorithms are i) unfeasible in situati

It has been known for some time that the inclusion of brane fluctuations, namely branons, helps in the suppression of KK-mode couplings to brane localised matter fields. In this paper we study the constraint on brane tension and compactification scale for such models using the results from the direct search of $W'$ at 13 TeV LHC, with an integrated lumin

We study some algebraic and combinatorial features of two algebras that arise as quotients of Temperley-Lieb algebras of type $\tilde{C}$, namely, the two-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebra and the symplectic blob algebra. We provide a monomial basis for both algebras. The elements of these bases are parameterized by certain subsets of fully commutative element

We discuss a class of modules, which we call $\underline{g}$-weak complete intersection modules, inspired by the weak complete intersection ideals studied by Rahmati, Striuli, and Yang and we present explicit formulas for the generators of Koszul homology with coefficients in a $\underline{g}$-weak complete intersection module. This generalizes work of Herzo

The interface effects play important roles for the properties of strange quark matter (SQM) and the related physical processes. We show several examples on the implications of interface effects for both stable and unstable SQM. Based on an equivparticle model and adopting mean-field approximation (MFA), the surface tension and curvature term of SQM can be ob

In 2003, Martin and Woodcock noticed a connection between the representation theory of the blob algebra and the Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials associated with the infinite dihedral group. However, no conceptual explanation for this coincidence has yet been provided. In this study, a possible explanation of this phenomenon is suggested by enunciating a conjectu

We prove a uniform diameter bound for long time solutions of the normalized Kahler-Ricci flow on an $n$-dimensional projective manifold $X$ with semi-ample canonical bundle under the assumption that the Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded for all time in a fixed domain containing a fibre of $X$ over its canonical model $X_{can}$.

In this work we introduce a new succinct variant of the word problem in a finitely generated group $G$, which we call the power word problem: the input word may contain powers $p^x$, where $p$ is a finite word over generators of $G$ and $x$ is a binary encoded integer. The power word problem is a restriction of the compressed word problem, where the input wo

In the problem of entanglement there exist two different notions. One is the entanglement of a quantum state, characterizing the state structure. The other is entanglement production by quantum operators, describing the action of operators in the given Hilbert space. Entanglement production by statistical operators, or density operators, is an important noti

We propose a trajectory-based method for simulating nonadiabatic dynamics in molecular systems with two coupled electronic states. Employing a quantum-mechanically exact mapping of the two-level problem to a spin-1/2 coherent state, we construct a classical phase space of a spin vector constrained to a spherical surface with a radius consistent with the quan

Dynamical models based on relativistic fluid dynamics provide a powerful tool to extract the properties of the strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced by ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions. The largest source of uncertainty in these model-to-data extractions is the choice of theoretical initial conditions (ICs) used to model the distribution of

In this paper, we look for properties of gradient Yamabe solitons on top of warped product manifolds. Utilizing the maximum principle, we find lower bound estimates for both the potential function of the soliton and the scalar curvature of the warped product. By slightly modifying Li-Yau's technique so that we can handle drifting Laplacians, we were able

In this note we define and study graph invariants generalizing to higher dimension the maximum degree of a vertex and the vertex-connectivity (our $0$-dimensional cases). These are known to coincide almost surely in any regime for Erdoes-Renyi random graphs. We show the same in the one dimensional case for a middle density regime and show the easier inequali

Entangled states with a positive partial transpose (so-called PPT states) are central to many interesting problems in quantum theory. On one hand, they are considered to be weakly entangled, since no pure state entanglement can be distilled from them. On the other hand, it has been shown recently that some of these PPT states exhibit genuinely high-dimension

The recent development of all-electrical electron spin resonance (ESR) in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) setup has opened the door to vast applications. Despite the fast growing number of experimental works on STM-ESR, the fundamental principles remains unclear. By using a cotunneling picture, we show that the spin resonance signal can be explained as

Cellular signaling is essential in information processing and decision making. Therefore, a variety of experimental approaches have been developed to study signaling on bulk and single-cell level. Single-cell measurements of signaling molecules demonstrated a substantial cell-to-cell variability, raising questions about its causes and mechanisms and about ho

We consider the function $f(g)$ that assigns to an orientable surface $M$ of genus $g$ the maximal number of free commuting independent involutions on $M$. We show that the surface of minimal genus $g$ with $f(g)=n$ is a real moment-angle complex $R_K$, where $K$ is the boundary of an $(n+2)$-gon. The genus is given by the formula $g = 1 + 2^{n-1}(n-2)$.

A hole is an induced cycle with at least four vertices. A hole is even if its number of vertices is even. Given a set L of graphs, a graph G is L-free if G does not contain any graph in L as an induced subgraph. Currently, the following two problems are unresolved: the complexity of coloring even hole-free graphs, and the complexity of coloring {4K1, C4}-fre

In this article we introduce authentication preambles as a mechanism to mitigate battery exhaustion attacks in LPWAN networks. We focus on the LoRaWAN technology as an exponent of industrial LPWANs. We analyze the impact of DoS attacks in Class B deployments and implement authentication preambles to limit attacker options when forcing nodes to overhear class

In the densest subgraph problem, given a weighted undirected graph $G(V,E,w)$, with non-negative edge weights, we are asked to find a subset of nodes $S\subseteq V$ that maximizes the degree density $w(S)/|S|$, where $w(S)$ is the sum of the edge weights induced by $S$. This problem is a well studied problem, known as the {\em densest subgraph problem}, and

Frequent mine disasters cause a large number of casualties and property losses. Autonomous driving is a fundamental measure for solving this problem, and track detection is one of the key technologies for computer vision to achieve downhole automatic driving. The track detection result based on the traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm lac

The dynamics of the pseudo-Newtonian restricted four-body problem has been studied in the present paper, where the primaries have equal masses. The parametric variation of the existence as well as the position of the libration points are determined, when the value of the transition parameter $ε\in [0, 1]$. The stability of these libration points has also bee
