    Vegetation patterns are a characteristic feature of semi-arid regions. On hillsides these patterns occur as stripes running parallel to the contours. The Klausmeier model, a coupled reaction-advection-diffusion system, is a deliberately simple model describing the phenomenon. In this paper, we replace the diffusion term describing plant dispersal by a more r

    We formulate multiparameter quantum estimation in the parametric and semiparametric setting. While the Holevo Cram\'er-Rao bound (CRB) requires no substantial modifications in moving from the former to the latter, we generalize the Helstrom CRB appropriately. We show that the Holevo CRB cannot be greater than twice the generalized Helstrom CRB. We also prese

    While thousands of exoplanets have been confirmed, the known properties about individual discoveries remain sparse and depend on detection technique. To utilize more than a small section of the exoplanet dataset, tools need to be developed to estimate missing values based on the known measurements. Here, we demonstrate the use of a neural network that models

    In the last two years, more than 200 papers have been written on how machine learning (ML) systems can fail because of adversarial attacks on the algorithms and data; this number balloons if we were to incorporate papers covering non-adversarial failure modes. The spate of papers has made it difficult for ML practitioners, let alone engineers, lawyers, and p

    For a general nonlinear control system, we study the problem of small time local attainability of a target which is the closure of an open set. When the target is smooth and locally the sublevel set of a smooth function, we develop second order attainability conditions as explicit pointwise conditions on the vector fields at points where all the available ve

    We propose a new STAckable Recurrent cell (STAR) for recurrent neural networks (RNNs), which has fewer parameters than widely used LSTM and GRU while being more robust against vanishing or exploding gradients. Stacking recurrent units into deep architectures suffers from two major limitations: (i) many recurrent cells (e.g., LSTMs) are costly in terms of par

    We show uniqueness in law for the critical SPDE $$ dX_t = AX_t dt + (-A)^{1/2}F(X(t))dt + dW_t,\;\; X_0 =x \in H, $$ where $A$ $ : dom(A) \subset H \to H$ is a negative definite self-adjoint operator on a separable Hilbert space $H$ having $A^{-1}$ of trace class and $W$ is a cylindrical Wiener process on $H$. Here $F: H \to H $ can be continuous with at mos

    The main purpose of this work is to generalize the $S^3_\bfw$ Sasaki join construction $M\star_\bfl S^3_\bfw$ described in \cite{BoTo14a} when the Sasakian structure on $M$ is regular, to the general case where the Sasakian structure is only quasi-regular. This gives one of the main results, Theorem 3.2, which describes an inductive procedure for constructin

    Learning performance can show non-monotonic behavior. That is, more data does not necessarily lead to better models, even on average. We propose three algorithms that take a supervised learning model and make it perform more monotone. We prove consistency and monotonicity with high probability, and evaluate the algorithms on scenarios where non-monotone beha

    The growth of large-scale cosmic structure is a beautiful exemplification of how complexity can emerge in our Universe, starting from simple initial conditions and simple physical laws. Using {\enzo} cosmological numerical simulations, I applied tools from Information Theory (namely, "statistical complexity") to quantify the amount of complexity in the simul

    We have studied (2+1) dimensional Dirac oscillator (DO) in an external magnetic field in the framework of generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). We have calculated the perturbative corrections for first few energy levels. We show that the infinite degeneracy of lowest Landau level is partially lifted due to GUP correction and obtained a critical value of t

    Deep learning is emerging as a new paradigm for solving inverse imaging problems. However, the deep learning methods often lack the assurance of traditional physics-based methods due to the lack of physical information considerations in neural network training and deploying. The appropriate supervision and explicit calibration by the information of the physi

    We report on a numerical investigation of the stability of scalarized black holes in Einstein dilaton Gauss-Bonnet (EdGB) gravity in the full dynamical theory, though restricted to spherical symmetry. We find evidence that for sufficiently small curvature-couplings the resulting scalarized black hole solutions are nonlinearly stable. For such small couplings

    Including diverse voices in political decision-making strengthens our democratic institutions. Within the Canadian political system, there is gender inequality across all levels of elected government. Online abuse, such as hateful tweets, leveled at women engaged in politics contributes to this inequity, particularly tweets focusing on their gender. In this

    Currently, the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is dependent upon a subjective, time-consuming evaluation of behavioral tests by an expert clinician. Non-invasive functional MRI (fMRI) characterizes brain connectivity and may be used to inform diagnoses and democratize medicine. However, successful construction of deep learning models from fMRI re

    We consider the problem of estimating the distance between two bodies of volume $\varepsilon$ located inside a $n$-dimensional ball $U$ of unit volume for $n\to\infty$. Let $A$ be a closed set with a smooth boundary of the volume $\varepsilon$ ($0 \leq \varepsilon \leq 1/2$) inside a $n$-dimensional ball $U$ of unit volume that implements among all the sets

    Vegetation patterns are a ubiquitous feature of water-deprived ecosystems. Despite the competition for the same limiting resource, coexistence of several plant species is commonly observed. We propose a two-species reaction-diffusion model based on the single-species Klausmeier model, to analytically investigate the existence of states in which both species

    In this contribution to the proceedings of the International Nuclear Physics Conference 2019, I review recent developments made in reaction models used to analyse data measured at radioactive-ion beam facilities to study exotic nuclear structures. I focus in particular on reactions like elastic scattering and breakup, which are used to study halo nuclei. Alt

    This paper is devoted to kinetic equations without confinement. We investigate the large time behaviour induced by collision operators with fat tailed local equilibria. Such operators have an anomalous diffusion limit. In the appropriate scaling, the macroscopic equation involves a fractional diffusion operator so that the optimal decay rate is determined by

    Gauge fields control the dynamics of fermions, also a back reaction of fermions on the gauge field is expected. This back reaction is investigated within the vortex picture of the QCD vacuum. We show that the center vortex model reproduces the string tension of the full theory also with the presence of fermionic fields.

    Traditionally, in supervised machine learning, (a significant) part of the available data (usually 50% to 80%) is used for training and the rest for validation. In many problems, however, the data is highly imbalanced in regard to different classes or does not have good coverage of the feasible data space which, in turn, creates problems in validation and us

    In this paper we introduce the persistent magnitude, a new numerical invariant of (sufficiently nice) graded persistence modules. It is a weighted and signed count of the bars of the persistence module, in which a bar of the form $[a,b)$ in degree $d$ is counted with weight $(e^{-a}-e^{-b})$ and sign $(-1)^d$. Persistent magnitude has good formal properties,

    Equivariant localization techniques give a rigorous interpretation of the Witten genus as an integral over the double loop space. This provides a geometric explanation for its modularity properties. It also reveals an interplay between the geometry of double loop spaces and complex analytic elliptic cohomology. In particular, we identify a candidate target f

    In 1959, Batchelor predicted that the stationary statistics of passive scalars advected in fluids with small diffusivity $\kappa$ should display a $|k|^{-1}$ power spectrum along an inertial range contained in the viscous-convective range of the fluid model. This prediction has been extensively tested, both experimentally and numerically, and is a core predi

    In this paper a new formulation of event recognition task is examined: it is required to predict event categories in a gallery of images, for which albums (groups of photos corresponding to a single event) are unknown. We propose the novel two-stage approach. At first, features are extracted in each photo using the pre-trained convolutional neural network. T

    We introduce a systematic approximation for an efficient evaluation of Born--Markov master equations for steady state transport studies in open quantum systems out of equilibrium: the energy resolved master equation approach. The master equation is formulated in the eigenbasis of the open quantum system and build successively by including eigenstates with in

    Korean-Chinese is a low resource language pair, but Korean and Chinese have a lot in common in terms of vocabulary. Sino-Korean words, which can be converted into corresponding Chinese characters, account for more than fifty of the entire Korean vocabulary. Motivated by this, we propose a simple linguistically motivated solution to improve the performance of

    A high production rate of negative hydrogen ion was observed from a nanoporous C12A7 electride surface immersed in hydrogen/deuterium low-pressure plasmas. The target was biased at 10-170 V negatively and the target surface was bombarded by H3 + ions from the plasma. The production rate was 1-2 orders higher than a clean molybdenum surface. The measured H-en

    For the planar $N$-body problem, we first introduce a class of moving frame suitable for orbits near central configurations, especially for total collision orbits, which is the main new ingredient of this paper. The moving frame allows us to reduce the degeneracy of the problem according to intrinsic symmetrical characteristic of the $N$-Body problem. First,

    We consider a multi-agent model for fair division of mixed manna (i.e. items for which agents can have positive, zero or negative utilities), in which agents have additive utilities for bundles of items. For this model, we give several general impossibility results and special possibility results for three common fairness concepts (i.e. EF1, EFX, EFX3) and o

    In this paper we address two different problems related with the factorization of an RSA module N. First we can show that factoring is equivalent in deterministic polynomial time to counting points on a pair of twisted Elliptic curves modulo N. Also we settle the malleability of factoring an RSA module, as described in [9], using the number of points of a si

    Modeling the diameter distribution of trees in forest stands is a common forestry task that supports key biologically and economically relevant management decisions. The choice of model used to represent the diameter distribution and how to estimate its parameters has received much attention in the forestry literature; however, accessible software that facil

    We give a complete characterization of Riesz bases of normalized reproducing kernels in the small Fock spaces $\mathcal{F}^2_{\varphi}$, the spaces of entire functions $f$ such that $f\mathrm{e}^{-\varphi} \in L^{2}(\mathbb{C})$, where $\varphi(z)= (\log^+|z|)^{\beta+1}$, $0< \beta \leq 1$.The first results in this direction are due to Borichev-Lyubarskii wh

    We show in this article that depending on the flow conditions the same fluid can be considered as a perfect fluid or on the contrary as viscous fluid. These properties are addressed by emptying a tank. we show that we pass from one regime to another by just changing the length of the outlet tube of the tank is drained. This change of regime takes place in ac

    The information bottleneck (IB) problem tackles the issue of obtaining relevant compressed representations $T$ of some random variable $X$ for the task of predicting $Y$. It is defined as a constrained optimization problem which maximizes the information the representation has about the task, $I(T;Y)$, while ensuring that a certain level of compression $r$ i

    In this paper we present a study of the non-linear effects of anharmonicity of the potential of the simple pendulum. In a theoretical reminder we highlight that anharmonicity of the potential generates additional harmonics and the non-isochronism of oscillations. These phenomena are all the more important as we move away from the oscillations at small angles

    We analyze some parabolic PDEs with different drift terms which are gradient flows in the Wasserstein space and consider the corresponding discrete-in-time JKO scheme. We prove with optimal transport techniques how to control the L p and L $\infty$ norms of the iterated solutions in terms of the previous norms, essentially recovering well-known results obtai

    The comprehensive simulation of magnetic recording, including the write and read-back process, on granular media becomes computationally expensive if the magnetization dynamics of each grain are explicitly computed. In addition, in heat-assisted magnetic recording, the writing of a single track becomes a random process since the temperature must be considere

    We obtain a travelling-wave solution of a generalised nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with an additional term of the form $\Gamma(\psi(x,t)) = \lambda \psi(x,t)^q$, where $\lambda$ and $q$ are real constants. Moreover, we show that the density of energy of the system for the travelling-wave solution presents a Lorentzian solitary wave behaviour.

    We present evidence of 6.7 GHz methanol (CH3OH)~and 4.8 GHz formaldehyde (H2CO) absorption towards the Galactic Center (GC) point-source `N3'. Both absorption features are unresolved and spatially aligned with N3. The 6.7 GHz CH3OH contains a single velocity component (centered at ~10 km/s) while the 4.8 GHz H2CO shows two velocity components (centered at ~-

    It has been shown that the Christodoulou version of the Strong Cosmic Censorship (SCC) conjecture can be violated for a scalar field in a near-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter black hole. In this paper, we investigate the effects of higher derivative corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action on the validity of SCC, by considering a neutral massless sca

    Land use and land cover mapping are essential to various fields of study, including forestry, agriculture, and urban management. Using earth observation satellites both facilitate and accelerate the task. Lately, deep learning methods have proven to be excellent at automating the mapping via semantic image segmentation. However, because deep neural networks

    This note provides truncated formulae with explicit error terms to compute Euler products over primes in arithmetic progressions of rational fractions. It further provides such a formula for the product of terms of the shape $F(1/p, 1/p^s)$ when $F$ is a two-variable polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{C}$ and satisfying some restrictive conditions.

    Microscopy is a powerful visualization tool in biology, enabling the study of cells, tissues, and the fundamental biological processes; yet, the observed images typically suffer from blur and background noise. In this work, we propose a unifying framework of algorithms for Gaussian image deblurring and denoising. These algorithms are based on deep learning t

    Gravity can play a role in critical phenomena. Topological singularities induce ground state degeneracy and break the continuum symmetry of the vacuum. They also generate momenta oscillations about an average momentum and a positive gravitational susceptibility. Gravitational analogues of the laws of Curie and Bloch have been found for a one-dimensional mode

    We study a Bose-Einstein condensate at the low energy limit and show that their collective dynamics exhibit interesting quantum dynamical behavior. The system undergoes a dynamical quantum phase transition after a sudden quench into a properly distributed static force, provided its dispersion relation is linear. We corroborate the occurrence of the dynamical

    Numerous angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies of a wide class of low-density metallic systems, ranging from doped transition metal oxides to quasi two-dimensional interfaces between insulators, exhibit phonon sidebands below the quasi-particle peak as a unique hallmark of polaronic correlations. Here, we single out properties of ARPES sp

    Photon statistics divides light sources into three different categories, characterized by bunched, antibunched or uncorrelated photon arrival times. Single atoms, ions, molecules, or solid state emitters display antibunching of photons, while classical thermal sources exhibit photon bunching. Here we demonstrate a light source in free space, where the photon

    With the growing need for online and iterative graph processing, software systems that continuously process large-scale graphs become widely deployed. With optimizations inherent as part of their design, these systems are complex, and have unique features beyond conventional graph processing.

    The chase is a sound and complete algorithm for conjunctive query answering over ontologies of existential rules with equality. To enable its effective use, we can apply acyclicity notions; that is, sufficient conditions that guarantee chase termination. Unfortunately, most of these notions have only been defined for existential rule sets without equality. A

    We present a measurement of the gravitational lensing deflection power spectrum reconstructed with two seasons cosmic microwave background polarization data from the POLARBEAR experiment. Observations were taken at 150 GHz from 2012 to 2014 which survey three patches of sky totaling 30 square degrees. We test the consistency of the lensing spectrum with a Co

    Hydroxyurea (HU) has been shown to be effective in alleviating the symptoms of Sickle Cell Anemia disease. While Hydroxyurea reduces the complications associated with Sickle Cell Anemia in some patients, others do not benefit from this drug and experience deleterious effects since it is also a chemotherapeutic agent. Therefore, to whom, should the administra

    We study the mixed state entanglement in a holographic axion model. We find that the holographic entanglement entropy (HEE), mutual information (MI) and entanglement of purification (EoP) exhibit very distinct behaviors with system parameters. The HEE exhibits universal monotonic behavior with system parameters, while the behaviors of MI and EoP relate to th

    We suggest a way to disentangle self- from cross-correlation contributions in the dielectric spectra of glycerol. Recently it was demonstrated for monohydroxy alcohols that a detailed comparison of the dynamic susceptibilities of photon correlation and broadband dielectric spectroscopy allows to unambiguously disentangle a collective relaxation mode known as

    Multi-principal-element metallic alloys have created a growing interest that is unprecedented in metallurgical history, in exploring the property limits of metals and the governing physical mechanisms. Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) have drawn particular attention due to their (i) high melting points and excellent softening-resistance, which are the

    We study the singularities of algebraic difference equations on curves from the point of view of equivariant sheaves. We propose a definition for the formal local type of an equivariant sheaf at a point in the case of a reduced curve acted on by a group which is virtually the integers. We show that with this definition, equivariant sheaves can be glued from

    Stochastic bridges are commonly used to impute missing data with a lower sampling rate to generate data with a higher sampling rate, while preserving key properties of the dynamics involved in an unbiased way. While the generation of Brownian bridges and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck bridges is well understood, unbiased generation of such stochastic bridges subject to

    Terrestrial experiments on active particles, such as Volvox, involve gravitational forces, torques and accompanying monopolar fluid flows. Taking these into account, we analyse the dynamics of a pair of self-propelling, self-spinning active particles between widely separated parallel planes. Neglecting flow reflected by the planes, the dynamics of orientatio

    Motivated by the celebrated discrete-time model of nervous activity outlined by McCulloch and Pitts in 1943, we propose a novel continuous-time model, the McCulloch-Pitts network (MPN), for sequence learning in spiking neural networks. Our model has a local learning rule, such that the synaptic weight updates depend only on the information directly accessibl

    Augmented Lagrangian method (also called as method of multipliers) is an important and powerful optimization method for lots of smooth or nonsmooth variational problems in modern signal processing, imaging, optimal control and so on. However, one usually needs to solve the coupled and nonlinear system together and simultaneously, which is very challenging. I

    We address the challenging task of anticipating human-object interaction in first person videos. Most existing methods ignore how the camera wearer interacts with the objects, or simply consider body motion as a separate modality. In contrast, we observe that the international hand movement reveals critical information about the future activity. Motivated by

    Broad spectrum of urban activities including mobility can be modeled as temporal networks evolving over time. Abrupt changes in urban dynamics caused by events such as disruption of civic operations, mass crowd gatherings, holidays and natural disasters are potentially reflected in these temporal mobility networks. Identification and early detecting of such

    We analyse the spectral convergence of high order elliptic differential operators subject to singular domain perturbations and homogeneous boundary conditions of intermediate type. We identify sharp assumptions on the domain perturbations improving, in the case of polyharmonic operators of higher order, conditions known to be sharp in the case of fourth orde

    Vegetation patterns are a characteristic feature of semi-deserts occurring on all continents except Antarctica. In some semi-arid regions, the climate is characterised by seasonality, which yields a synchronisation of seed dispersal with the dry season or the beginning of the wet season. We reformulate the Klausmeier model, a reaction-advection-diffusion sys

    Separatrices divide the phase space of some holomorphic dynamical systems into separate basins of attraction or 'stability regions' for distinct fixed points. 'Bundling' (high density) and mutual 'repulsion' of trajectories are often observed at separatrices in phase portraits, but their global mathematical characterisation is a difficult problem. For 1-D co

    We examine a sequence of examples of pairs of moduli spaces of sheaves on $\mathbb P^2$ where Le Potier's strange duality is expected to hold. One of the moduli spaces in these pairs is the Hilbert scheme of two points. We compute the sections of the relevant theta bundle as a representation of $SL(X)$, where $\mathbb P^2=\mathbb P(X)$. For the higher rank s

    Hypocoercivity methods are applied to linear kinetic equations without any space confinement, when local equilibria have a sub-exponential decay. By Nash type estimates, global rates of decay are obtained, which reflect the behavior of the heat equation obtained in the diffusion limit. The method applies to Fokker-Planck and scattering collision operators. T

    We study metric transformations including not just the field strength tensor of a $U(1)$ gauge field, but also its dual tensor. We first consider an arbitrary symmetric matrix built up with these two tensors in the metric transformation. It turns out the form of transformation reduces to a quite simple form on imposing the parity evenness of the transformed

    Cosmological applications of HII galaxies (HIIGx) and giant extragalactic HII regions (GEHR) to construct the Hubble diagram at higher redshifts require knowledge of the "$L$--$\sigma$" relation of the standard candles used. In this paper, we study the properties of a large sample of 156 sources (25 high-$z$ HII galaxies, 107 local HII galaxies, and 24 giant

    Weak measurement has been shown to play important roles in the investigation of both fundamental and practical problems. Anomalous weak values are generally believed to be observed only when post-selection is performed, i.e, only a particular subset of the data is considered. Here, we experimentally demonstrated an anomalous weak value can be obtained withou

    We biject two combinatorial models for tensor products of (single-column) Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals of any classical type $A-D$: the quantum alcove model and the tableau model. This allows us to translate calculations in the former model (of the energy function, the combinatorial $R$-matrix, etc.) to the latter, which is simpler.

    In the present review we discuss different aspects of the two-photon exchange (TPE) physics in elastic $ep$ scattering, at high $Q^2$ as well as at low $Q^2$. The imaginary part of the TPE amplitude gives rise to beam and target single-spin asymmetries. Different theoretical approaches to calculation of these observables are considered. The real part of the

    This paper deals with testing for nondegenerate normality of a $d$-variate random vector $X$ based on a random sample $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ of $X$. The rationale of the test is that the characteristic function $\psi(t) = \exp(-\|t\|^2/2)$ of the standard normal distribution in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is the only solution of the partial differential equation $\Delta f(t) =

    Few explicit families of 3-folds are known for which the computation of the canonical ring is accessible and the birational geometry non-trivial. In this note we investigate a family of determinantal 3-folds in $\mathbb P^2 \times \mathbb P^3$ where this is the case.

    One of the challenges for text analysis in medical domains is analyzing large-scale medical documents. As a consequence, finding relevant documents has become more difficult. One of the popular methods to retrieve information based on discovering the themes in the documents is topic modeling. The themes in the documents help to retrieve documents on the same

    Recent $\nu_e$ appearance data from the Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment (MiniBooNE) are in support of the excess of events reported by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND), which provides an indirect hint for the existence of eV-scale sterile neutrino. As these sterile neutrinos can mix with the standard active neutrinos, in this paper we explor

    In the framework of QCD Sum Rules we investigate the $q q^\prime \bar{Q} \bar{Q}$ tetraquark structure with quantum number $J^P = 1^+$, which are embedded in two types of configurations, the $[8_c]_{q \bar{Q}} \otimes [8_c]_{q^\prime \bar{Q}}$ and $[1_c]_{q \bar{Q}} \otimes [1_c]_{q^\prime \bar{Q}}$ with $Q = b, c$, $q = u$, and $q^\prime = d, s$.

    The superfluid, pair condensed spin-1/2 Fermi gases are supposed to exhibit at nonzero wave vector a still unobserved collective excitation mode in their pair-breaking continuum. Using BCS theory at zero temperature and in the long wavelength limit, we predict that this mode is quantitatively observable (in frequency, width and spectral weight) in the respon

    We discuss the quantum mechanical description of a gravitational wave interacting with a cavity electromagnetic field. Quantum fluctuations of the gravitational vacuum induce squeezing in the optical field. Moreover, this squeezing experiences revivals, a purely quantum effect. Measuring these gravitationally induced revivals, although out of reach from expe

    We introduce PQ-NET, a deep neural network which represents and generates 3D shapes via sequential part assembly. The input to our network is a 3D shape segmented into parts, where each part is first encoded into a feature representation using a part autoencoder. The core component of PQ-NET is a sequence-to-sequence or Seq2Seq autoencoder which encodes a se

    In this paper we introduce a new technique based on high-dimensional Chebyshev Tensors that we call \emph{Orthogonal Chebyshev Sliding Technique}.

    A black string is a solution of the four-dimensional general relativity in cylindrical symmetric anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime pioneered by Lemos [6].

    In terms of the characteristic functions of the quantum states, we present a complete operator description of a lossy photon-subtraction scheme. Feeding a single-mode squeezed vacuum into a variable beam splitter and counting the photons in one of the output channels, a broad class of multiphoton-subtracted squeezed vacuum states (MSSVSs) can be generated in

    The SR24 multi-star system hosts both circumprimary and circumsecondary disks, which are strongly misaligned from each other. The circumsecondary disk is circumbinary in nature. Interestingly, both disks are interacting, and they possibly rotate in opposite directions. To investigate the nature of this unique twin disk system, we present 0.''1 resolution nea

    We performed density functional theory calculations with self-consistent van der Waals corrected exchange-correlation (XC) functionals to capture the structure of black phosphorus and twelve monochalcogenide monolayers and find the following results: (a) The in-plane unit cell changes its area in going from the bulk to a monolayer. The change of in-plane dis

    In 2018, Kahle and Stump raised the following problem: identify sequences of finite Coxeter groups $W_n$ for which the two-sided descent statistics on a uniform random element of $W_n$ is asymptotically normal. Recently, Br\"uck and R\"ottger provided an almost-complete answer, assuming some regularity condition on the sequence $W_n$. In this note, we provid

    We study the simple, linear, Edwards-Wilkinson equation that describes surface growth governed by height diffusion in the presence of spatiotemporally power-law decaying correlated noise. We analytically show that the surface becomes super-rough when the noise correlations spatio/temporal range is long enough. We calculate analytically the associated anomalo

    Let M be a closed, connected, orientable topological 4-manifold, and G be a finite group acting topologically and locally linearly on M. In this paper we investigate the Borel spectral sequence for the G-equivariant cohomology of M, and establish new bounds on the rank of G for homologically trivial actions with discrete singular set.

    Verification of numerical accuracy properties in modern software remains an important and challenging task. This paper describes an original framework combining different solutions for numerical accuracy. First, we extend an existing runtime verification tool called E-ACSL with rational numbers to monitor accuracy properties at runtime. Second, we present an

    We present a study of several generic tree search techniques applied to the Sequential Ordering Problem. This study enables us to propose a simple and competitive tree search algorithm. It consists of an iterative Beam Search algorithm that favors search over inference and integrates dynamic programming inspired cuts. It proves optimality on half of the SOPL

    We study holomorphic foliations of aribitrary codimension in smooth complete toric varieties. We show that split foliations are stable if some good behaviour of their singular set is provided. As an application of these results, we exhibit irreducible components of the space of foliations that arise as pullbacks of some special T-invariant divisors.

    Let $M$ be a complex manifold of dimension $n$ with smooth boundary $X$. Given $q\in\{0,1,\ldots,n-1\}$, let $\Box^{(q)}$ be the $\ddbar$-Neumann Laplacian for $(0,q)$ forms. We show that the spectral kernel of $\Box^{(q)}$ admits a full asymptotic expansion near the non-degenerate part of the boundary $X$ and the Bergman projection admits an asymptotic expa

    We propose a novel method that tracks fast moving objects, mainly non-uniform spherical, in full 6 degrees of freedom, estimating simultaneously their 3D motion trajectory, 3D pose and object appearance changes with a time step that is a fraction of the video frame exposure time. The sub-frame object localization and appearance estimation allows realistic te

    We report an observation of a 148-fold suppression of resonant absorption of 14.4-keV photons from exp(-5.2) to exp(-0.2) with preservation of their spectral and temporal characteristics in an ensemble of the resonant two-level Fe-57 nuclei at room temperature. The transparency was induced via collective acoustic oscillations of nuclei. The proposed techniqu

    We examine the proposal by Grabowska and Kaplan (GK) to use the infinite gradient flow in the domain-wall formulation of chiral lattice gauge theories. We consider the case of Abelian theories in detail, for which L\"uscher's exact gauge-invariant formulation is known, and we relate GK's formulation to L\"uscher's one. The gradient flow can be formulated for

    In this paper, we consider minimal linear codes in a general construction of linear codes from q-ary functions. First, we give the sufficient and necessary condition for codewords to be minimal. Second, as an application, we present four constructions of minimal linear codes which contained some recent results as special cases.

    In this paper we present a model for unsupervised topic discovery in texts corpora. The proposed model uses documents, words, and topics lookup table embedding as neural network model parameters to build probabilities of words given topics, and probabilities of topics given documents. These probabilities are used to recover by marginalization probabilities o

    Context. Velocity or intensity swirls have now been shown to be widely present throughout the photosphere and chromosphere. It has been suggested that these events could contribute to the heating of the upper solar atmosphere, via exciting Alfv\'en pulses, which could carry significant amounts of energy. However, the conjectured necessary physical conditions

    Most existing works on disentangled representation learning are solely built upon an marginal independence assumption: all factors in disentangled representations should be statistically independent. This assumption is necessary but definitely not sufficient for the disentangled representations without additional inductive biases in the modeling process, whi
