Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring and let $\frak a$ be an ideal of $R$. In this paper, we study a certain condition, namely $C_{\frak a}$, introduced by Aghapournahr and Melkersson, on the extension of two subcategories of $R$-modules. We extend and generalize some of the main results of Yoshizawa [Y1,Y2]. As an example of extension of subcategories,

It is challenging for full-waveform inversion to determine geologically informative models from field data. An inaccurate wavelet can make it more complicated. We develop a novel misfit function, entitled deconvolutional double-difference misfit measurement to cancel the influence of wavelet inaccuracy on inversion results. Unlike the popular double-differen

A relativistic generalization of the rational Calogero model is obtained by using the deformation of a gauging matrix system with extra semi-dynamical variables. The Hamiltonian of this system is derived by imposing the gauge fixing conditions and eliminating gauge degrees of freedom. The integrability of the proposed relativistic model is proved.

The goal of this paper is to generalize, refine, and improve results on large intersections. We show that if $G$ is a countable abelian group and $\varphi, \psi : G \to G$ are homomorphisms such that at least two of the three subgroups $\varphi(G)$, $\psi(G)$, and $(\psi-\varphi)(G)$ have finite index in $G$, then $\{\varphi, \psi\}$ has the \emph{large inte

In the previous paper, we showed that the Riley polynomial $\mathcal{R}_K(\lambda)$ of each 2-bridge knot $K$ is split into $\mathcal{R}_K(-u^2)=\pm g(u)g(-u)$, for some integral coefficient polynomial $g(u)\in \mathbb Z[u]$. In this paper, we study this splitting property of the Riley polynomial. We show that the Riley polynomial can be expressed by `$\epsi

We say that a commutative ring R satisfies the restricted minimum (RM) condition if for all essential ideals I in R, factor R/I is an Artinian ring. We will focus on Noetherian reduced rings because in this setting known results for RM domains generalize well. However, as we will show, RM rings need not be Noetherian and may have nilpotent elements. One of t

We prove that for a self-injective ribbon Grothendieck-Verdier category $\mathcal{C}$ in the sense of Boyarchenko-Drinfeld the cyclic action on the Hochschild complex of $\mathcal{C}$ extends to an action of the diffeomorphism group of the solid closed torus $\mathbb{S}^1 \times \mathbb{D}^2$.

We present a protocol for probing the state of a quantum system by its resonant coupling and entanglement with a meter system. By continuous measurement of a time evolving meter observable, we infer the evolution of the entangled systems and, ultimately, the state and dynamics of the system of interest. The photon number in a cavity field is thus resolved by

We report on polarization combining 2D grating couplers (2D GCs) on amorphous Si:H, fabricated in the backend of line of a photonic BiCMOS platform. The 2D GCs can be used as an interface of a hybrid silicon photonic coherent transmitter, which can be implemented on bulk Si wafers. The fabricated 2D GCs operate in the telecom C-band and show an experimental

The combination of Reinforcement Learning (RL) with deep learning has led to a series of impressive feats, with many believing (deep) RL provides a path towards generally capable agents. However, the success of RL agents is often highly sensitive to design choices in the training process, which may require tedious and error-prone manual tuning. This makes it

Metocean extremes often vary systematically with covariates such as direction and season. In this work, we present non-stationary models for the size and rate of occurrence of peaks over threshold of metocean variables with respect to one- or two-dimensional covariates. The variation of model parameters with covariate is described using a piecewise-linear fu

The problem of verifying the nonnegativity of a function on a finite abelian group is a long-standing challenging problem. The basic theory of representation theory of finite groups indicates that a function $f$ on a finite abelian group $G$ can be written as a linear combination of characters of irreducible representations of $G$ by $ f(x)=\sum_{\chi \in \w

In large-scale distributed systems, balancing the load in an efficient way is crucial in order to achieve low latency. Recently, some load balancing policies have been suggested which are able to achieve a bounded maximum queue length in the large-scale limit. However, these policies have thus far only been studied in case of exponential job sizes. As job si

Visual attention estimation is an active field of research at the crossroads of different disciplines: computer vision, artificial intelligence and medicine. One of the most common approaches to estimate a saliency map representing attention is based on the observed images.

Strong coupling of charge, spin, and lattice in solids brings about emergent elementary excitations with their intertwining and, in one dimension, solitons are known as such. The charge-transferred organic ferroelectric, TTF-CA, has been argued to host charge solitons; however, the existence of the charge solitons remains unverified. Here, we demonstrate tha

In this paper we show that every graph of pathwidth less than $k$ that has a path of order $n$ also has an induced path of order at least $\frac{1}{3} n^{1/k}$.

We show that bounded cohomology stabilizes along sequences of classical Lie groups, and along sequences of lattices in them. Our method is based on a criterion from (arXiv:2307.12808) which adapts Quillen's stability method to the setting of bounded cohomology. This criterion is then applied to a family of measured complexes, the so-called Stiefel complexes,

For any complex Banach space $X$ and each $p \in [1,\infty)$, we introduce the $p$-Bohr radius of order $N(\in \mathbb{N})$ is $\widetilde{R}_{p,N}(X)$ defined by $$ \widetilde{R}_{p,N}(X)=\sup \left\{r\geq 0: \sum_{k=0}^{N}\norm{x_k}^p r^{pk} \leq \norm{f}^p_{H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D}, X)}\right\}, $$ where $f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} x_{k}z^k \in H^{\infty}(\mat

Satisfaction measurement, which emerges in every sector today, is a very important factor for many companies. In this study, it is aimed to reach the highest accuracy rate with various machine learning algorithms by using the data on Yemek Sepeti and variations of this data. The accuracy values of each algorithm were calculated together with the various natu

A Hamiltonian decomposition of a regular graph is a partition of its edge set into Hamiltonian cycles. We consider the second Hamiltonian decomposition problem: for a 4-regular multigraph find 2 edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles different from the given ones. This problem arises in polyhedral combinatorics as a sufficient condition for non-adjacency in the 1-

Fast, large area patterning of arbitrary structures down to the nanometre scale is of great interest for a range of applications including the semiconductor industry, quantum electronics, nanophotonics and others. It was recently proposed that nanometre-resolution mask lithography can be realised by sending metastable helium atoms through a binary holography

The Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC) 2020 posed diverse challenges for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We present our four tailored UAVs, specifically developed for individual aerial-robot tasks of MBZIRC, including custom hardware- and software components. In Challenge 1, a target UAV is pursued using a high-efficiency, onboard o

Single-crystal europium iron garnet (EuIG) thin films epitaxially strain-grown on gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG)(100) substrates using off-axis sputtering have strain-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). By varying the sputtering conditions, we have tuned the europium/iron (Eu/Fe) composition ratios in the films to tailor the film strains. The f

We model spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) as classical difference frequency generation (DFG) of the pump field and a hypothetical stochastic "vacuum" seed field. We analytically show that the second-order spatiotemporal correlations of the field generated from the DFG process replicate those of the signal field from SPDC. Specifically, for low g

In this paper, a new structure is proposed which is expected to realize dual-band electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like effect in terahertz spectrum. It can be regarded as a metamaterial of grating-like elements composed of dual-band U-shaped resonators. The near-field coupling between bright modes can produce EIT-like effect. After optimizing

We study static-field ionization of He-like ions with nuclear charge number in the range of $2\le Z \le 36$. Both the tunneling and over-the-barrier regimes are considered. We calculate the ionization rates by three approximate methods: a fitting formula based on the Perelemov-Popov-Terent'ev (PPT) formula, a perturbative expansion in powers of $1/Z$, and a

We derive a perturbative formula for the direct interaction between two four-dimensional geometries. Based on the spectral action principle we give an explicit potential up to the third order perturbation around the flat vacua. We present the leading terms of the interaction as polynomials of the invariants of the two metrics and compare the expansion to the
