We investigate the dynamics of the perturbations of the inflaton scalar field oscillating around a minimum of its effective potential in an expanding universe. With the assumption of smallness of the ratio of the Hubble parameter to the oscillation frequency we apply the technique of separation of fast and slow motions. Considering the oscillation phase and the energy density as fast and slow variables we derive the Hill equation for the fluctuation modes in which the energy density is treated as a slowly varying parameter. We develop a general perturbative approach to solving the equations of this type, which is based on the Floquet theory and asymptotic expansions in the vicinity of the solutions with the "frozen" parameters. As an example, we consider the $\phi ^{2}-\phi ^{4}$ potential and construct the approximate solutions of the corresponding Lam\'{e} equation. The obtained solutions are found to be in a good agreement with the results of the direct numerical integration.

An elastic cloak hides a hole or an inhomogeneity from elastic fields. In this paper, a formulation of the optimal design of elastic cloaks based on the adjoint state method, in which the balance of linear momentum is enforced as a constraint, is presented. The design parameters are the elastic moduli of the cloak, while the objective function is a measure of the distance between the solutions in the physical and in the virtual bodies. Both the elastic medium and the cloak are assumed to be made of isotropic linear elastic materials. In order to guarantee smooth inhomogeneous elastic moduli within the cloak a penalization term is added to the objective function. Mixed finite elements are used for discretizing the weak formulation of the optimization problem. Several numerical examples of optimal elastic cloaks designed for both single and multiple loads are presented. We consider different geometries and loading types and observe that in some cases the optimal elastic cloaks for cloaking holes (cavities) are made of auxetic materials.

The emergent phenomenon of collective neutrino oscillations arises from neutrino-neutrino interactions in environments with very large number of neutrinos. Since such environments are likely sites of the heavy-element synthesis, understanding all aspects of collective neutrino oscillations seems to be necessary for a complete accounting of nucleosynthesis. I briefly summarize some of the salient features along with recent work on the properties and astrophysical applications of the collective neutrino oscillations.

We present PYATB, a Python package designed for computing band structures and related properties of materials using the ab initio tight-binding Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian is directly obtained after conducting self-consistent calculations with first-principles packages using numerical atomic orbital (NAO) bases, such as ABACUS. The package comprises three modules: Bands, Geometric, and Optical. In the Bands module, one can calculate essential properties of band structures, including the partial density of states (PDOS), fat bands, Fermi surfaces, and Weyl/Dirac points. The band unfolding method is utilized to obtain the energy band spectra of a supercell by projecting the electronic structure of the supercell onto the Brillouin zone of the primitive cell. With the Geometric module, one can compute the Berry phase and Berry curvature-related quantities, such as electric polarization, Wilson loops, Chern numbers, and anomalous Hall conductivities. The Optical module offers a range of optical property calculations, including optical conductivity and nonlinear optical responses, such as shift current and Berry curvature dipole.

We investigate ten years of user support emails in the large-scale solver library PETSc in order to identify changes in user requests. For this purpose we assign each email thread to one or several categories describing the type of support request. We find that despite several changes in hardware architecture as well programming models, the relative share of emails for the individual categories does not show a notable change over time. This is particularly remarkable as the total communication volume has increased four-fold in the considered time frame, indicating a considerable growth of the user base. Our data also demonstrates that user support cannot be substituted with what is often referred to as 'better documentation' and that the involvement of core developers in user support is essential.

We introduce a new experimental effort at Jefferson Lab (JLab) to precisely measure the ratios of charged pion electroproduction in Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) from $^2$D, $^3$He, and $^3$H targets \cite{c12-21-004}. This conditionally approved experiment (C12-21-004) aims to run in Hall-B using the standard CLAS12 configuration and a new target system developed for the approved quasi-elastic experiment (E12-20-005). In this data-driven study, we will measure the cross-sections as a function of ($x$, $Q^2$, $z$, $P_T$) to allow the extraction of the unpolarized parton distribution functions (PDFs), transverse momentum distributions (TMDs) and fragmentation functions (FFs) in A = 3 nuclei. By using super-ratios of pion yields of SIDIS off light nuclei over a wide $x_B$ range, we search for evidence of a flavor dependence in the EMC effect, giving us new insights into the effect of the nuclear environment on valance quarks. Double-ratios between A = 3 mirror nuclei can provide a direct measurement of the d/u ratios at large x due to their similar and well-understood nuclear corrections. With the utilization of mirror nuclei and the large kinematic range, and high precision of CLAS12, we will be able to maintain the sensitivity to the underlying physics but dramatically decrease the nuclear uncertainties due to attenuation and hadronization in heavy nuclei targets.

The macroscopic behavior of dissipative stochastic partial differential equations usually can be described by a finite dimensional system. This article proves that a macroscopic reduced model may be constructed for stochastic reaction-diffusion equations with cubic nonlinearity by artificial separating the system into two distinct slow-fast time parts. An averaging method and a deviation estimate show that the macroscopic reduced model should be a stochastic ordinary equation which includes the random effect transmitted from the microscopic timescale due to the nonlinear interaction. Numerical simulations of an example stochastic heat equation confirms the predictions of this stochastic modelling theory. This theory empowers us to better model the long time dynamics of complex stochastic systems.

Consider the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) with a potential with a single negative eigenvalue. It has solitons with negative small energy, which are asymptotically stable, and, if the nonlinearity is focusing, then also solitons with positive large energy, which are unstable. In this paper we classify the global dynamics below the second lowest energy of solitons under small mass and radial symmetry constraints.

In the present paper we find explicit formulas for the degrees of Heegner divisors on arithmetic quotients of the orthogonal group $\Orth(2,p)$ and for the integrals of certain automorphic Green's functions associated with Heegner divisors. The latter quantities are important in the study of the arithmetic degrees of Heegner divisors in the context of Arakelov geometry. In particular, we obtain a different proof and a generalization of results of Kudla relating these quantities to the Fourier coefficients of certain non-holomorphic Eisenstein series of weight $1+p/2$ for the metaplectic group $\Mp_2(\Z)$.

High fidelity quantum information processing requires a combination of fast gates and long-lived quantum memories. In this work, we propose a hybrid architecture, where a parity-protected superconducting qubit is directly coupled to a Majorana qubit, which plays the role of a quantum memory. The superconducting qubit is based upon a $\pi$-periodic Josephson junction realized with gate-tunable semiconducting wires, where the tunneling of individual Cooper pairs is suppressed. One of the wires additionally contains four Majorana zero modes that define a qubit. We demonstrate that this enables the implementation of a SWAP gate, allowing for the transduction of quantum information between the topological and conventional qubit. This architecture combines fast gates, which can be realized with the superconducting qubit, with a topologically protected Majorana memory.

We argue that a process where a fuzzy space splits in two others can be used to explain the origin of the black hole entropy, and why a "generalized second law of thermodynamics" appears to hold in the presence of black holes. We reach the Bekenstein-Hawking formula from the count of the microstates of a black hole modeled by a fuzzy space. In this approach, a discrete area spectrum for the black hole, which becomes increasingly spaced as the black hole approaches the Planck scale, is obtained. We show that, as a consequence of this, the black hole radiation becomes less and less entropic as the black hole evaporates, in a way that some information about its initial state could be recovered.

With the rise of specialized hardware and new programming languages, code optimization has shifted its focus towards promoting data locality. Most production-grade compilers adopt a control-centric mindset - instruction-driven optimization augmented with scalar-based dataflow - whereas other approaches provide domain-specific and general purpose data movement minimization, which can miss important control-flow optimizations. As the two representations are not commutable, users must choose one over the other. In this paper, we explore how both control- and data-centric approaches can work in tandem via the Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR) framework. Through a combination of an MLIR dialect and specialized passes, we recover parametric, symbolic dataflow that can be optimized within the DaCe framework. We combine the two views into a single pipeline, called DCIR, showing that it is strictly more powerful than either view. On several benchmarks and a real-world application in C, we show that our proposed pipeline consistently outperforms MLIR and automatically uncovers new optimization opportunities with no additional effort.

We present a novel model that describes the within-host evolutionary dynamics of parasites undergoing antigenic variation. The approach uses a multi-type branching process with two types of entities defined according to their relationship with the immune system: clans of resistant parasitic cells (i.e. groups of cells sharing the same antigen not yet recognized by the immune system) that may become sensitive, and individual sensitive cells that can acquire a new resistance thus giving rise to the emergence of a new clan. The simplicity of the model allows analytical treatment to determine the subcritical and supercritical regimes in the space of parameters. By incorporating a density-dependent mechanism the model is able to capture additional relevant features observed in experimental data, such as the characteristic parasitemia waves. In summary our approach provides a new general framework to address the dynamics of antigenic variation which can be easily adapted to cope with broader and more complex situations.

Deep neural networks have excelled on a wide range of problems, from vision to language and game playing. Neural networks very gradually incorporate information into weights as they process data, requiring very low learning rates. If the training distribution shifts, the network is slow to adapt, and when it does adapt, it typically performs badly on the training distribution before the shift. Our method, Memory-based Parameter Adaptation, stores examples in memory and then uses a context-based lookup to directly modify the weights of a neural network. Much higher learning rates can be used for this local adaptation, reneging the need for many iterations over similar data before good predictions can be made. As our method is memory-based, it alleviates several shortcomings of neural networks, such as catastrophic forgetting, fast, stable acquisition of new knowledge, learning with an imbalanced class labels, and fast learning during evaluation. We demonstrate this on a range of supervised tasks: large-scale image classification and language modelling.

We show that radiation pulses from an X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) with a planar undulator, which are mainly polarized in the horizontal direction, exhibit a suppression of the vertical polarization component of the power at least by a factor $\lambda_w^2/(4 \pi L_g)^2$, where $\lambda_w$ is the length of the undulator period and $L_g$ is the FEL field gain length. We illustrate this fact by examining the XFEL operation under the steady state assumption. In our calculations we considered only resonance terms: in fact, non resonance terms are suppressed by a factor $\lambda_w^3/(4 \pi L_g)^3$ and can be neglected. While finding a situation for making quantitative comparison between analytical and experimental results may not be straightforward, the qualitative aspects of the suppression of the vertical polarization rate at XFELs should be easy to observe. We remark that our exact results can potentially be useful to developers of new generation FEL codes for cross-checking their results.

Recently the study of modeling a non-stationary signal as a superposition of amplitude and frequency-modulated Fourier-like oscillatory modes has been a very active research area. The synchrosqueezing transform (SST) is a powerful method for instantaneous frequency estimation and component separation of non-stationary multicomponent signals. The short-time Fourier transform-based SST (FSST for short) reassigns the frequency variable to sharpen the time-frequency representation and to separate the components of a multicomponent non-stationary signal. Very recently the FSST with a time-varying parameter, called the adaptive FSST, was introduced. The simulation experiments show that the adaptive FSST is very promising in instantaneous frequency estimation of the component of a multicomponent signal, and in accurate component recovery. However the theoretical analysis of the adaptive FSST has not been carried out. In this paper, we study the theoretical analysis of the adaptive FSST and obtain the error bounds for the instantaneous frequency estimation and component recovery with the adaptive FSST and the 2nd-order adaptive FSST.

Recently, time scales calculus is developed to unify continuous and discrete analysis. By extending the definition of time scales properly, this paper introduces the concept of a signal set as well as its stability properties in terms of the so-called pseudo distance measure. This leads to more general Lyapunov like conditions to check stability properties of systems with hybrid nature. By way of examples, the proposed framework is used to model hybrid systems with simplicity and flexibility to characterize trajectories in the behavior of hybrid systems.

Control of fluid dynamics at the micrometer scale is essential to emulsion science and materials design, which is ubiquitous in everyday life and is frequently encountered in industrial applications. Most studies on multiphase flow focus on oil-water systems with substantial interfacial tension. Advances in microfluidics have enabled the study of multiphase flow with more complex dynamics. Here, we show that the evolution of the interface in a jet surrounded by a co-flowing continuous phase with an ultra-low interfacial tension presents new opportunities to the control of flow morphologies. The introduction of a harmonic perturbation to the dispersed phase leads to the formation of interfaces with unique shapes. The periodic structures can be tuned by controlling the fluid flow rates and the input perturbation; this demonstrates the importance of the inertial effects in flow control at ultra-low interfacial tension. Our work provides new insights into microfluidic flows at ultra-low interfacial tension and their potential applications.

We carry on the study of Fourier integral operators of H{\"o}rmander's type acting on the spaces $(\mathcal{F}L^p)_{comp}$, $1\leq p\leq\infty$, of compactly supported distributions whose Fourier transform is in $L^p$. We show that the sharp loss of derivatives for such an operator to be bounded on these spaces is related to the rank $r$ of the Hessian of the phase $\Phi(x,\eta)$ with respect to the space variables $x$. Indeed, we show that operators of order $m=-r|1/2-1/p|$ are bounded on $(\mathcal{F}L^p)_{comp}$, if the mapping $x\longmapsto\nabla_x\Phi(x,\eta)$ is constant on the fibers, of codimension $r$, of an affine fibration.

In this work, we have investigated the domain wall (DW) depinning behavior in the notched nanowire by a micromagnetic simulation. A transverse domain wall (TW) was initially positioned at the center of notch and 1 ns length current pulse was applied to depin the DW with respect to the notch size s and the wire width variation. We have observed the depinning current density Jd which was a minimum current to escape DW from the notch. It was found that the depinning current density decreased as the wire width and the notch size increased. In the depinning process, we observed the inner structure of DW generally transformed from TW to anti-vortex wall (AVW). Interestingly, for the case of s less than 70 nm, AVW formed and depinned closely to the period when current pulse was active, while for s larger than 70 nm, AVW formed until the current pulse went to zero and then depinned after flipped TW was formed. It can be explained that the transformation of DW inner structures were affected by the spin torque energy and contributed to DW depinning behavior from the notched nanowires.

When a gap of tunable size opens at the conic band intersections of graphene, the Berry phase does not vanish abruptly, but progressively decreases as the gap increases. The phase depends on the reciprocal-space path radius, i.e., for a doped system, the Fermi wave vector. The phase and its observable consequences can thus be tuned continuously via gap opening --by a modulating potential induced by strain, epitaxy, or nanostructuration-- and doping adjustment.

Solutions to the equations of motion of the low energy, effective field theory emerging out of compactified heterotic string theory are constructed by making use of the well-known duality symmetries. Beginning with four-dimensional solutions of the Einstein-massless scalar field theory in the canonical frame we first rewrite the corresponding solutions in the string frame. Thereafter, using the T and S duality symmetries of the low energy string effective action we arrive at the corresponding uncharged, electrically charged and magnetically charged solutions. Brief comments on the construction of dual versions of the Kerr-Sen type using the dilatonic Kerr solution as the seed are also included. Thereafter, we verify the status of the energy conditions for the solutions in the string frame. Several of the metrics found here are shown to possess naked singularities although the energy conditions are obeyed. Dual solutions exhibit a duality in the conservation/violation of the Null and Averaged Null Energy Conditions (NEC/ANEC), a fact demonstrated earlier in the context of black holes (hep-th/9604047) and cosmologies (hep-th/9611122). Additionally, those backgrounds which conserve the NEC/ANEC in spite of possesing naked singularities serve as counterexamples to cosmic censorship in the context of low energy, effective string theory.

Recently, many estimators for network treatment effects have been proposed. But, their optimality properties in terms of semiparametric efficiency have yet to be resolved. We present a simple, yet flexible asymptotic framework to derive the efficient influence function and the semiparametric efficiency lower bound for a family of network causal effects under partial interference. An important corollary of our results is that one of the existing estimators by Liu et al. (2019) is locally efficient. We also present other estimators that are efficient and discuss results on adaptive estimation. We conclude by using the efficient estimators to study the direct and spillover effects of conditional cash transfer programs in Colombia.

This paper continue earlier investigations on the decay of Burgers turbulence in one dimension from Gaussian random initial conditions of the power-law spectral type $E_0(k)\sim|k|^n$. Depending on the power $n$, different characteristic regions are distinguished. The main focus of this paper is to delineate the regions in wave-number $k$ and time $t$ in which self-similarity can (and cannot) be observed, taking into account small-$k$ and large-$k$ cutoffs. The evolution of the spectrum can be inferred using physical arguments describing the competition between the initial spectrum and the new frequencies generated by the dynamics. For large wavenumbers, we always have $k^{-2}$ region, associated to the shocks. When $n$ is less than one, the large-scale part of the spectrum is preserved in time and the global evolution is self-similar, so that scaling arguments perfectly predict the behavior in time of the energy and of the integral scale. If $n$ is larger than two, the spectrum tends for long times to a universal scaling form independent of the initial conditions, with universal behavior $k^2$ at small wavenumbers. In the interval $2<n$ the leading behaviour is self-similar, independent of $n$ and with universal behavior $k^2$ at small wavenumber. When $1<n<2$, the spectrum has three scaling regions : first, a $|k|^n$ region at very small $k$\ms1 with a time-independent constant, second, a $k^2$ region at intermediate wavenumbers, finally, the usual $k^{-2}$ region. In the remaining interval, $n<-3$ the small-$k$ cutoff dominates, and $n$ also plays no role. We find also (numerically) the subleading term $\sim k^2$ in the evolution of the spectrum in the interval $-3<n<1$. High-resolution numerical simulations have been performed confirming both scaling predictions and analytical asymptotic theory.

We study the distance on the Bruhat-Tits building of the group $\mathrm{SL}_d(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ (and its other combinatorial properties). Coding its vertices by certain matrix representatives, we introduce a way how to build formulas with combinatorial meanings. In Theorem 1, we give an explicit formula for the graph distance $\delta(\alpha,\beta)$ of two vertices $\alpha$ and $\beta$ (without having to specify their common apartment).Our main result, Theorem 2, then extends the distance formula to a formula for the smallest total distance of a vertex from a given finite set of vertices. In the appendix we consider the case of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ and give a formula for the number of edges shared by two given apartments.

The Ameyalli-rule is not based on survival/birth logic but depends on 102 isotropic neighborhood groups making an iso-rule, which can drive an interactive input-frequency histogram for visualising iso-group activity and dependent functions for filtering and mutation. Neutral inputs relative to logical gates are identified which provide an idealized striped-down form of the iso-rule.

In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear system involving the fractional Laplacian \begin{equation} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^{s} u (x)= f(u,\,v), \\ (-\Delta)^{s} v (x)= g(u,\,v), \end{array} \right. (1) \end{equation} in two different types of domains, one is bounded, and the other is unbounded, where $0<s<1$. To investigate the qualitative properties of solutions for fractional equations, the conventional methods are extension method and moving planes method. However, the above methods have technical limits in asymmetric and convex domains and so on. In this work, we employ the direct sliding method for fractional Laplacian to derive the monotonicity of solutions for (1) in $x_n$ variable in different types of domains. Meanwhile, we develop a new iteration method for systems in the proofs which hopefully can be applied to solve other problems.

We develop the BPS preon conjecture to analyze the supersymmetric solutions of D=11 supergravity. By relating the notions of Killing spinors and BPS preons, we develop a moving G-frame method (G=GL(32,R), SL(32,R) or Sp(32,R)) to analyze their associated generalized holonomies. As a first application we derive here the equations determining the generalized holonomies of k/32 supersymmetric solutions and, in particular, those solving the necessary conditions for the existence of BPS preonic (31/32) solutions of the standard D=11 supergravity. We also show that there exist elementary preonic solutions, i.e. solutions preserving 31 out of 32 supersymmetries in a Chern--Simons type supergravity. We present as well a family of worldvolume actions describing the motion of pointlike and extended BPS preons in the background of a D'Auria-Fre type OSp(1|32)-related supergravity model. We discuss the possible implications for M-theory.

Recently, several new characteristics have been introduced to describe null geodesic structure of strong gravitational field, such as photon regions, transversely trapping surfaces and some generalizations. They give an alternative and concise way to describe lensing and shadow features of compact objects with strong gravitational field without recurring to complete integration of the geodesic equations. Here we test this construction in the case of the Weyl metrics when geodesic equations are non-separable, and thus can not be integrated analytically, while the above characteristic surfaces and regions can be described in a closed form. We develop further our formalism for a class of static axially symmetric spacetimes introducing more detailed specification of transversely trapping surfaces in terms of their principal curvatures. Surprisingly, we find in the static case without spherical symmetry certain features, such as photon regions, previously known in the Kerr space. These photon regions can be regarded as photon spheres, "thickened" due to oblateness of the metric.

Learning Task-Aware Effective Brain Connectivity for fMRI Analysis with Graph Neural Networks

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become one of the most common imaging modalities for brain function analysis. Recently, graph neural networks (GNN) have been adopted for fMRI analysis with superior performance. Unfortunately, traditional functional brain networks are mainly constructed based on similarities among region of interests (ROI), which are noisy and agnostic to the downstream prediction tasks and can lead to inferior results for GNN-based models. To better adapt GNNs for fMRI analysis, we propose TBDS, an end-to-end framework based on \underline{T}ask-aware \underline{B}rain connectivity \underline{D}AG (short for Directed Acyclic Graph) \underline{S}tructure generation for fMRI analysis. The key component of TBDS is the brain network generator which adopts a DAG learning approach to transform the raw time-series into task-aware brain connectivities. Besides, we design an additional contrastive regularization to inject task-specific knowledge during the brain network generation process. Comprehensive experiments on two fMRI datasets, namely Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) and Philadelphia Neuroimaging Cohort (PNC) datasets demonstrate the efficacy of TBDS. In addition, the generated brain networks also highlight the prediction-related brain regions and thus provide unique interpretations of the prediction results. Our implementation will be published to https://github.com/yueyu1030/TBDS upon acceptance.

The self-consistent t-matrix approximation for impurity scattering in unconventional superconductors is used to interpret recent measurements of the temperature and frequency dependence of the microwave conductivity of YBCO crystals below 20K. In this theory, the conductivity is expressed in terms of a fequency dependent single particle self-energy, determined by the impurity scattering phase shift which is small for weak (Born) scattering and approaches $\pi / 2$ for unitary scattering. Inverting this process, microwave conductivity data are used to extract an effective single-particle self-energy and obtain insight into the nature of the operative scattering processes. It is found that the effective self-energy is well approximated by a constant plus a linear term in frequency with a small positive slope for thermal quasiparticle energies below 20K. Possible physical origins of this form of self-energy are discussed.

A substantial fraction of barred galaxies host additional nuclear bars which tumble with pattern speeds exceeding those of the large-scale (primary) stellar bars. We have investigated the mechanism of formation and dynamical decoupling in such nested bars which include gaseous (secondary) nuclear bars within the full size galactic disks, hosting a double inner Lindblad resonance. Becoming increasingly massive and self-gravitating, the nuclear bars lose internal (circulation) angular momentum to the primary bars and increase their strength. Developing chaos within these bars triggers a rapid gas collapse -- bar contraction. During this time period, the secondary bar pattern speed Omega_s~a^{-1}, where "a" stands for the bar size. As a result, Omega_s increases dramatically until a new equilibrium is reached (if at all), while the gas specific angular momentum decreases -- demonstrating the dynamical decoupling of nested bars. Viscosity, and therefore the gas presence, appears to be a necessary condition for the prograde decoupling of nested bars. This process maintains an inflow rate of ~1 M_o/yr over ~10^8 yrs across the central 200 pc and has important implications for fueling the nuclear starbursts and AGN.

The selection of low-radioactive construction materials is of utmost importance for the success of low-energy rare event search experiments. Besides radioactive contaminants in the bulk, the emanation of radioactive radon atoms from material surfaces attains increasing relevance in the effort to further reduce the background of such experiments. In this work, we present the $^{222}$Rn emanation measurements performed for the XENON1T dark matter experiment. Together with the bulk impurity screening campaign, the results enabled us to select the radio-purest construction materials, targeting a $^{222}$Rn activity concentration of 10 $\mu$Bq/kg in 3.2 t of xenon. The knowledge of the distribution of the $^{222}$Rn sources allowed us to selectively eliminate critical components in the course of the experiment. The predictions from the emanation measurements were compared to data of the $^{222}$Rn activity concentration in XENON1T. The final $^{222}$Rn activity concentration of (4.5 $\pm$ 0.1) $\mu$Bq/kg in the target of XENON1T is the lowest ever achieved in a xenon dark matter experiment.

This work studies the secrecy-capacity of a scalar-Gaussian wiretap channel with an amplitude constraint on the input. It is known that for this channel, the secrecy-capacity-achieving distribution is discrete with finitely many points. This work improves such result by showing an upper bound of the order $\frac{\mathsf{A}}{\sigma_1^2}$ where $\mathsf{A}$ is the amplitude constraint and $\sigma_1^2$ is the variance of the Gaussian noise over the legitimate channel.

With the ability to directly obtain the Wigner function and density matrix of photon states, quantum tomography (QT) has had a significant impact on quantum optics, quantum computing and quantum information. By an appropriate sequence of measurements on the evolution of each degreeof freedom (DOF), the full quantum state of the observed photonic system can be determined. The first proposal to extend the application of QT to reconstruction of complete quantum states of matter wavepackets had generated enormous interest in ultrafast diffraction imaging and pump-probe spectroscopy of molecules. This interest was elevated with the advent of ultrafast electron and X-ray diffraction techniques using electron accelerators and X-ray free electron lasers to add temporal resolution to the observed nuclear and electron distributions. However, the great interest in this area has been tempered by the illustration of an impossibility theorem, known as the dimension problem. Not being able to associate unitary evolution to every DOF of molecular motion, quantum tomography could not be used beyond 1D and categorically excludes most vibrational and all rotational motion of molecules. Here we present a theoretical advance to overcome the notorious dimension problem. Solving this challenging problem is important to push imaging molecular dynamics to the quantum limit. The new theory has solved this problem, which makes quantum tomography a truly useful methodology in ultrafast physics and enables the making of quantum version of a molecular movie. With the new theory, quantum tomography can be finally advanced to a sufficient level to become a general method for reconstructing quantum states of matter, without being limited in one dimension. Our new concept is demonstrated using a simulated dataset of ultrafast diffraction experiment of laser-aligned nitrogen molecules.

The ensemble Kalman inversion (EKI), as a derivative-free methodology, has been widely used in the parameter estimation of inverse problems. Unfortunately, its cost may become moderately large for systems described by high dimensional nonlinear PDEs, as EKI requires a relatively large ensemble size to guarantee its performance. In this paper, we propose an adaptive multi-fidelity polynomial chaos (PC) based EKI technique to address this challenge. Our new strategy combines a large number of low-order PC surrogate model evaluations and a small number of high-fidelity forward model evaluations, yielding a multi-fidelity approach. Especially, we present a new approach that adaptively constructs and refines a multi-fidelity PC surrogate during the EKI simulation. Since the forward model evaluations are only required for updating the low-order multi-fidelity PC model, whose number can be much smaller than the total ensemble size of the classic EKI, the entire computational costs are thus significantly reduced. The new algorithm was tested through the two-dimensional time fractional inverse diffusion problems and demonstrated great effectiveness in comparison with PC based EKI and classic EKI.

The effective field theory of NN interactions in nuclear matter is considered. Due to the Pauli principle the effective NN amplitude is not affected by the shallow bound states. We show that the next-to-leading order terms in the chiral expansion of the effective NN potential can be interpreted as corrections so the expansion is systematic. The value of potential energy per particle is calculated and some issues concerning the chiral effective theory of nuclear matter are outlined.

The ferromagnetic Kondo model with classical corespins is studied via unbiased Monte-Carlo simulations. We show that with realistic parameters for the manganites and at low temperatures, the double-exchange mechanism does not lead to phase separation in one-dimensional chains but rather stabilizes individual ferromagnetic polarons. Within the ferromagnetic polaron picture, the pseudogap in the one-particle spectral function A_k(\omega) can easily be explained. Ferromagnetic polarons also clear up a seeming failure of the double-exchange mechanism in explaining the comparable bandwidths in the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phase. For our analysis, we extend a simplified model, the finite temperature uniform hopping approach (UHA), to include polarons. It can easily be evaluated numerically and provides a simple quantitative understanding of the physical features of the ferromagnetic Kondo model.

An exact solution is presented for the time-dependent wavefunction of a Kramers doublet which propagates around a quantum ring with tuneable Rashba spin-orbit interaction. By propagating in segments it is shown that Kramers-doublet qubits may be defined for which transformations on the Bloch sphere may be performed for an integral number of revolutions around the ring. The conditions for full coverage of the Bloch sphere are determined and explained in terms of sequential qubit rotations due to electron motion along the segments, with change of rotation axes between segments due to adiabatic changes in the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Prospects and challenges for possible realizations are discussed for which rings based on InAs quantum wires are promising candidates.

We investigate cosmic string networks in the Abelian Higgs model using data from a campaign of large-scale numerical simulations on lattices of up to $4096^3$ grid points. We observe scaling or self-similarity of the networks over a wide range of scales, and estimate the asymptotic values of the mean string separation in horizon length units $\dot{\xi}$ and of the mean square string velocity $\bar v^2$ in the continuum and large time limits. The scaling occurs because the strings lose energy into classical radiation of the scalar and gauge fields of the Abelian Higgs model. We quantify the energy loss with a dimensionless radiative efficiency parameter, and show that it does not vary significantly with lattice spacing or string separation. This implies that the radiative energy loss underlying the scaling behaviour is not a lattice artefact, and justifies the extrapolation of measured network properties to large times for computations of cosmological perturbations. We also show that the core growth method, which increases the defect core width with time to extend the dynamic range of simulations, does not introduce significant systematic error. We compare $\dot{\xi}$ and $\bar v^2$ to values measured in simulations using the Nambu-Goto approximation, finding that the latter underestimate the mean string separation by about 25%, and overestimate $\bar v^2$ by about 10%. The scaling of the string separation implies that string loops decay by the emission of massive radiation within a Hubble time in field theory simulations, in contrast to the Nambu-Goto scenario which neglects this energy loss mechanism. String loops surviving for only one Hubble time emit much less gravitational radiation than in the Nambu-Goto scenario, and are consequently subject to much weaker gravitational wave constraints on their tension.

We study how to spread $k$ tokens of information to every node on an $n$-node dynamic network, the edges of which are changing at each round. This basic {\em gossip problem} can be completed in $O(n + k)$ rounds in any static network, and determining its complexity in dynamic networks is central to understanding the algorithmic limits and capabilities of various dynamic network models. Our focus is on token-forwarding algorithms, which do not manipulate tokens in any way other than storing, copying and forwarding them. We first consider the {\em strongly adaptive} adversary model where in each round, each node first chooses a token to broadcast to all its neighbors (without knowing who they are), and then an adversary chooses an arbitrary connected communication network for that round with the knowledge of the tokens chosen by each node. We show that $\Omega(nk/\log n + n)$ rounds are needed for any randomized (centralized or distributed) token-forwarding algorithm to disseminate the $k$ tokens, thus resolving an open problem raised in~\cite{kuhn+lo:dynamic}. The bound applies to a wide class of initial token distributions, including those in which each token is held by exactly one node and {\em well-mixed} ones in which each node has each token independently with a constant probability. We also show several upper bounds in varying models.

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$. In this paper, we study the distribution of rectangles in a given set in $\mathbb{F}_q^2$. More precisely, for any $0<\delta\le 1$, we prove that there exists an integer $q_0=q_0(\delta)$ with the following property: if $q\ge q_0$ and $A$ is a multiplicative subgroup of $\mathbb{F}^*_q$ with $|A|\ge q^{2/3}$, then any set $S\subset \mathbb{F}_q^2$ with $|S|\ge \delta q^2$ contains at least $\gg \frac{|S|^4|A|^2}{q^5}$ rectangles with side-lengths in $A$. We also consider the case of rectangles with one fixed side-length and the other in a multiplicative subgroup $A$.

Multiplayer Bandit Learning, from Competition to Cooperation

The stochastic multi-armed bandit model captures the tradeoff between exploration and exploitation. We study the effects of competition and cooperation on this tradeoff. Suppose there are $k$ arms and two players, Alice and Bob. In every round, each player pulls an arm, receives the resulting reward, and observes the choice of the other player but not their reward. Alice's utility is $\Gamma_A + \lambda \Gamma_B$ (and similarly for Bob), where $\Gamma_A$ is Alice's total reward and $\lambda \in [-1, 1]$ is a cooperation parameter. At $\lambda = -1$ the players are competing in a zero-sum game, at $\lambda = 1$, they are fully cooperating, and at $\lambda = 0$, they are neutral: each player's utility is their own reward. The model is related to the economics literature on strategic experimentation, where usually players observe each other's rewards. With discount factor $\beta$, the Gittins index reduces the one-player problem to the comparison between a risky arm, with a prior $\mu$, and a predictable arm, with success probability $p$. The value of $p$ where the player is indifferent between the arms is the Gittins index $g = g(\mu,\beta) > m$, where $m$ is the mean of the risky arm. We show that competing players explore less than a single player: there is $p^* \in (m, g)$ so that for all $p > p^*$, the players stay at the predictable arm. However, the players are not myopic: they still explore for some $p > m$. On the other hand, cooperating players explore more than a single player. We also show that neutral players learn from each other, receiving strictly higher total rewards than they would playing alone, for all $ p\in (p^*, g)$, where $p^*$ is the threshold from the competing case. Finally, we show that competing and neutral players eventually settle on the same arm in every Nash equilibrium, while this can fail for cooperating players.

The rotation of sunspots of 2 yr in two different solar cycles is studied with the data from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on board the \it Solar Dynamics Observatory \rm and the Michelson Doppler Imager instrument on board the \it Solar and Heliospheric Observataory.\rm We choose the $\alpha$ sunspot groups and the relatively large and stable sunspots of complex active regions in our sample. In the year of 2003, the $\alpha$ sunspot groups and the preceding sunspots tend to rotate counterclockwise and have positive magnetic polarity in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, the magnetic polarity and rotational tendency of the $\alpha$ sunspot groups and the preceding sunspots are opposite to the northern hemisphere. The average rotational speed of these sunspots in 2003 is about $0^{\circ}.65 \rm \ hr^{-1}$. From 2014 January to 2015 February, the $\alpha$ sunspot groups and the preceding sunspots tend to rotate clockwise and have negative magnetic polarity in the northern hemisphere. The patterns of rotation and magnetic polarity of the southern hemisphere are also opposite to those of the northern hemisphere. The average rotational speed of these sunspots in 2014/2015 is about $1^{\circ}.49 \rm \ hr^{-1}$. The rotation of the relatively large and stable preceding sunspots and that of the $\alpha$ sunspot groups located in the same hemisphere have opposite rotational direction in 2003 and 2014/2015.

We report results of two investigations of the double-scaling equations for the unitary matrix models. First, the fixed area partition functions have all positive coefficients only for the first four critical points. This implies that the critical points at $k\ge5$ describe non-unitary continuum theories. Secondly, we examine a conjectured connection to branched polymers, but find that the scaling solutions of the unitary models do not agree with those of a particular model describing branched polymers.

We make two theoretical contributions to disentanglement learning by (a) defining precise semantics of disentangled representations, and (b) establishing robust metrics for evaluation. First, we characterize the concept "disentangled representations" used in supervised and unsupervised methods along three dimensions-informativeness, separability and interpretability - which can be expressed and quantified explicitly using information-theoretic constructs. This helps explain the behaviors of several well-known disentanglement learning models. We then propose robust metrics for measuring informativeness, separability and interpretability. Through a comprehensive suite of experiments, we show that our metrics correctly characterize the representations learned by different methods and are consistent with qualitative (visual) results. Thus, the metrics allow disentanglement learning methods to be compared on a fair ground. We also empirically uncovered new interesting properties of VAE-based methods and interpreted them with our formulation. These findings are promising and hopefully will encourage the design of more theoretically driven models for learning disentangled representations.

The presence of Super-Apps have changed the way we think about the interactions between users and commerce. It then comes as no surprise that it is also redefining the way banking is done. The paper investigates how different interactions between users within a Super-App provide a new source of information to predict borrower behavior. To this end, two experiments with different graph-based methodologies are proposed, the first uses graph based features as input in a classification model and the second uses graph neural networks. Our results show that variables of centrality, behavior of neighboring users and transactionality of a user constituted new forms of knowledge that enhance statistical and financial performance of credit risk models. Furthermore, opportunities are identified for Super-Apps to redefine the definition of credit risk by contemplating all the environment that their platforms entail, leading to a more inclusive financial system.

We present a novel approach to named entity recognition (NER) in the presence of scarce data that we call example-based NER. Our train-free few-shot learning approach takes inspiration from question-answering to identify entity spans in a new and unseen domain. In comparison with the current state-of-the-art, the proposed method performs significantly better, especially when using a low number of support examples.

In this letter, a novel linear transmission strategy to design the linear precoding matrix~(PM) at base station~(BS) and the beamforming matrix~(BM) at relay station~(RS) for multiple-input multiple-output~(MIMO) relaying broadcast channels with direct channel (DC) is proposed, in which a linear PM is designed at BS based on DC, and the RS utilizes the PM, the backward channel and the forward channel to design the linear BM. We then give a quite tight lower bound of the achievable sum-rate of the network with the proposed strategy to measure the performance. The sum-rates achieved by the proposed strategy is compared with other schemes without considering the DC in design in simulations, which shows that the proposed strategy outperforms the existing methods when RS is close to BS.

We investigate diverse relations of the colour-flavour transformations (CFT) introduced by Zirnbauer in \cite{Z1,Z2} to various topics in random matrix theory and multivariate analysis, such as measures on truncations of unitary random matrices, Jacobi ensembles of random matrices, Berezin reproducing kernels and a generalization of the Selberg integral due to Kaneko, Kadell and Yan involving the Schur functions. Apart from suggesting explicit formulas for bosonic CFT for the unitary group in the range of parameters beyond that in \cite{Z2}, we also suggest an alternative variant of the transformation, with integration going over an unbounded domain of a pair of Hermitian matrices. The latter makes possible evaluation of certain averages in random matrix theory.

We propose a new finite difference approximation to the Dirichlet problem for the homogeneous $\mathbf{p}$-Laplace equation posed on an $N$-dimensional domain, in connection with the Tug of War games with noise. Our game and the related mean-value expansion that we develop, superposes the ``deterministic averages'' ``$\frac{1}{2}(\inf +\sup)$'' taken over balls, with the ``stochastic averages'' ``$\fint$'', taken over $N$-dimensional ellipsoids whose aspect ratio depends on $N,\mathbf{p}$ and whose orientations span all directions while determining $\inf / \sup$. We show that the unique solutions $u_\epsilon$ of the related dynamic programming principle are automatically continuous for continuous boundary data, and coincide with the well-defined game values. Our game has thus the min-max property: the order of supremizing the outcomes over strategies of one player and infimizing over strategies of their opponent, is immaterial. We further show that domains satisfying the exterior corkscrew condition are game regular in this context, i.e. the family $\{u_\epsilon\}_{\epsilon\to 0}$ converges uniformly to the unique viscosity solution of the Dirichlet problem.

Connected components of real algebraic varieties invariant under the $CB_{n}$-Coxeter group are investigated. In particular, we consider their maximal number and their geometric and topological properties. This provides a decomposition for the space of $CB_{n}$-algebraic varieties. We construct $CB_{n}$-polynomials using Young-posets and partitions of integers. Our results establish bounds on the number of connected components for a given set of coefficients. It turns out that this number can achieve an upper bound of $2^{n}+1$ for specific coefficients. We introduce a new method to characterize the geometry of these real algebraic varieties, using J. Cerf and A. Douady theory for varieties with angular boundary and the theory of chambers and galleries. We provide several examples that bring out the essence of these results.

Equations of radial motion of a gas bubble in a compressible viscous liquid have been modified to account for compressibility at the bubble boundary. A new bubble boundary equation has been derived, including a new term resulted from liquid compressibility. The influence of this term has been numerically investigated using isothermal-adiabatic model for the gas inside the bubble. The results clearly indicate that, at the end of the collapse, the new term has a very significant role and its consideration dramatically changes the bubble characteristics. Moreover, the more intense the collapse is, the more significant the effect of the new term is. Also, it has been reasoned out that, the influence of the new term will be established even when the effects of mass (water vapor) exchange, chemical reactions, and gas dynamics inside the bubble are taken into account.

DDSCAT 7.2 is a freely available open-source Fortran-90 software package applying the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) to calculate scattering and absorption of electromagnetic waves by targets with arbitrary geometries and complex refractive index. The targets may be isolated entities (e.g., dust particles), but may also be 1-d or 2-d periodic arrays of "target unit cells", which can be used to study absorption, scattering, and electric fields around arrays of nanostructures. The DDA approximates the target by an array of polarizable points. The theory of the DDA and its implementation in DDSCAT is presented in Draine (1988) and Draine & Flatau (1994), and its extension to periodic structures in Draine & Flatau (2008). Efficient near-field calculations are enabled following Flatau & Draine (2012). DDSCAT 7.2 allows accurate calculations of electromagnetic scattering from targets with size parameters 2*pi*aeff/lambda < 25 provided the refractive index m is not large compared to unity (|m-1| < 2). DDSCAT 7.2 includes support for MPI, OpenMP, and the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL). DDSCAT 7.2 supports calculations for a variety of target geometries (e.g., ellipsoids, regular tetrahedra, rectangular solids, finite cylinders, hexagonal prisms, etc.). Target materials may be both inhomogeneous and anisotropic. It is straightforward for the user to import new target geometries into the code. DDSCAT 7.2 calculates total cross sections for absorption and scattering and selected elements of the Mueller scattering intensity matrix for specified orientation of the target relative to the incident wave, and for specified scattering directions. DDSCAT 7.2 calculates E throughout a user-specified rectangular volume containing the target. A Fortran-90 code READNF to read E and P from files created by DDSCAT 7.2 is included in the distribution.

In this paper we study the geometry of GIT configurations of $n$ ordered points on $\mathbb{P}^1$ both from the the birational and the biregular viewpoint. In particular, we prove that any extremal ray of the Mori cone of effective curves of the quotient $(\mathbb{P}^1)^n//PGL(2)$, taken with the symmetric polarization, is generated by a one dimensional boundary stratum of the moduli space. Furthermore, we develop some technical machinery that we use to compute the canonical divisor and the Hilbert polynomial of $(\mathbb{P}^1)^n//PGL(2)$ in its natural embedding, and its group of automorphisms.

Let l be a link of d components. For every finite-index lattice in Z^d there is an associated finite abelian cover of S^3 branched over l. We show that the order of the torsion subgroup of the first homology of these covers has exponential growth rate equal to the logarithmic Mahler measure of the Alexander polynomial of l, provided this polynomial is nonzero. Our proof uses a theorem of Lind, Schmidt and Ward on the growth rate of connected components of periodic points for algebraic Z^d-actions.

Recent experimental studies have suggested the ratio between T-helper and T-suppressor lymphocytes as an index of immunosuppression in HIV, cancer, immunosenescence and inflammatory and auto-immune diseases. However, a quantitative understanding of the impact of this ratio on the immune response has lagged behind data and its validity as a tool for prognostic monitoring or therapeutic target remains an open question. In this work, we use statistical physics and dynamical systems approaches to analyze the time-dependent response to an antigen, of a simplified model of the adaptive immune system, which comprises B, T-helper and T-suppressor lymphocytes. The model is remarkably robust against changes in the noise level and kinetic parameters, but it is very sensitive to changes in the ratio between T-helper and T-suppressor lymphocytes, exhibiting, in particular, a transition from a responsive to an immuno-suppressed phase, as the ratio is lowered below a critical value, which is in line with experiments. This result supports the validity of the T-helper/T-suppressor ratio as an index of immunosuppression and may provide a useful theoretical benchmark to interpret and compare experiments.

The Standard Cosmological Model assumes that more than 85\% of matter is in the form of collisionless and pressureless dark matter. Unstable decaying dark matter has been proposed in the literature as an extension to the standard cold dark matter model. In this paper we investigate a scenario when dark matter decays and the resultant particle moves with respect to the dark matter. A covariant hydrodynamical model is developed in which the decay is modeled by the transfer of energy-momentum between two dark dust fluid components. We parameterise the model in terms of the decay rate $\Gamma$ and injection velocity $v_i$ of the resultant dark matter particles. We apply the framework to study the evolution of cosmic voids which are environments with low content of baryonic matter. Thus, unlike baryon-rich environments, voids provide an opportunity to measure dark matter signals that are less contaminated by complex baryonic processes. We find that the growth of S-type voids is modified by the dark matter decay, leading to imprints at the present day. This paper serves as a proof-of-concept that cosmic voids can be used to study dark mater physics. We argue that future cosmological observations of voids should focus on signs of reported features to either confirm or rule out the decaying dark matter scenario. Lack of presence of reported features could put constraints of the decay of dark matter in terms of $\Gamma > H_0^{-1}$ and $v_i<10$ km/s.

In this paper, we propose an iterative interference alignment (IA) algorithm for MIMO cellular networks with partial connectivity, which is induced by heterogeneous path losses and spatial correlation. Such systems impose several key technical challenges in the IA algorithm design, namely the overlapping between the direct and interfering links due to the MIMO cellular topology as well as how to exploit the partial connectivity. We shall address these challenges and propose a three stage IA algorithm. As illustration, we analyze the achievable degree of freedom (DoF) of the proposed algorithm for a symmetric partially connected MIMO cellular network. We show that there is significant DoF gain compared with conventional IA algorithms due to partial connectivity. The derived DoF bound is also backward compatible with that achieved on fully connected K-pair MIMO interference channels.

The energy of a graph $G$ is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of $G$. Let $s^+(G), s^-(G)$ denote the sum of the squares of the positive and negative eigenvalues of $G$, respectively. It was conjectured by [Elphick, Farber, Goldberg, Wocjan, Discrete Math. (2016)] that if $G$ is a connected graph of order $n$, then $s^+(G)\geq n-1$ and $s^-(G) \geq n-1$. In this paper, we show partial results towards this conjecture. In particular, numerous structural results that may help in proving the conjecture are derived, including the effect of various graph operations. These are then used to establish the conjecture for several graph classes, including graphs with certain fraction of positive eigenvalues and unicyclic graphs.

In this paper, we discuss the low frequency spectrum of SN 1993J with GMRT. We observed SN 1993J at several epochs in 20cm, 50cm, 90cm and 125cm wavelengths and achieved near simultaneous spectra. We fit synchrotron self absorption (SSA) and free-free models to the data. We compare the size of SN obtained using SSA fits to that of size extrapolated from VLBI measurements at various epochs using public data at earlier epochs. We find that the synchrotron self absorption process is insufficient to reproduce the observed size of the supernova under the assumption of equipartition between magnetic fields and relativistic electrons. We also derive the evolution of spectral index and magnetic field at several epochs.

We establish some identities in law for the convolution of a beta prime distribution with itself, involving the square root of beta distributions. The proof of these identities relies on transformations on generalized hypergeometric series obtained via Appell series of the first kind and Thomae's relationships for ${}_3F_2(1)$. Using a self-decomposability argument, the identities are applied to derive complete monotonicity properties for quotients of confluent hypergeometric functions having a doubling character. By means of probability, we also obtain a simple proof of Tur\'an's inequality for the parabolic cylinder function and the confluent hypergeometric function of the second kind. The case of Mill's ratio is discussed in detail.

In the geometric-optics limit, Yang-Mills gravity with space-time translational gauge symmetry predicts $\D \phi =7Gm/(2R) \approx 1.53''$ for the deflection of a light ray by the sun. The result, which is about 12% smaller than that in the conventional theory, is consistent with experiments involving optical frequencies that had an accuracy of 10-20%.

A More Human Way to Play Computer Chess

This paper suggests a forward-pruning technique for computer chess that uses 'Move Tables', which are like Transposition Tables, but for moves not positions. They use an efficient memory structure and has put the design into the context of long and short-term memories. The long-term memory updates a play path with weight reinforcement, while the short-term memory can be immediately added or removed. With this, 'long branches' can play a short path, before returning to a full search at the resulting leaf nodes. Re-using an earlier search path allows the tree to be forward-pruned, which is known to be dangerous, because it removes part of the search process. Additional checks are therefore made and moves can even be re-added when the search result is unsatisfactory. Automatic feature analysis is now central to the algorithm, where key squares and related squares can be generated automatically and used to guide the search process. Using this analysis, if a search result is inferior, it can re-insert un-played moves that cover these key squares only. On the tactical side, a type of move that the forward-pruning will fail on is recognised and a pattern-based solution to that problem is suggested. This has completed the theory of an earlier paper and resulted in a more human-like approach to searching for a chess move. Tests demonstrate that the obvious blunders associated with forward pruning are no longer present and that it can compete at the top level with regard to playing strength.

Specifically, we consider charged-hadron production, with unspecified transverse momentum p_T, in the Breit frame and D^{*+-} production as a function of p_T, and perform comparisons with recent data from the H1 Collaboration.

Cloud Computing is emerging as a new computational paradigm shift. Hadoop-MapReduce has become a powerful Computation Model for processing large data on distributed commodity hardware clusters such as Clouds. In all Hadoop implementations, the default FIFO scheduler is available where jobs are scheduled in FIFO order with support for other priority based schedulers also. In this paper we study various scheduler improvements possible with Hadoop and also provided some guidelines on how to improve the scheduling in Hadoop in Cloud Environments.

It is pointed out that the retardation terms given in the original Fermi-Breit potential vanish in the center of mass frame. The retarded one-gluon exchange potential is rederived in this paper from the three-dimensional one-gluon exchange kernel which appears in the exact three-dimensional relativistic equation for quark-antiquark bound states. The retardation part of the potential given in the approximation of order $p^2/m^2$ is shown to be different from those derived in the previous literature. This part is off-shell and does no longer vanish in the center of mass frame.

Working in the Fourier space allows significantly reducing the computational complexity of our operations. We demonstrate the properties of the 6D convolution and its efficiency in the recognition of spatial patterns. We also assess the 6DCNN model on several datasets from the recent CASP protein structure prediction challenges. Here, 6DCNN improves over the baseline architecture and also outperforms the state of the art.

Photoionization of randomly oriented chiral molecules with circularly polarized light leads to a strong forward/backward asymmetry in the photoelectron angular distribution. This chiroptical effect, referred to as Photoelectron Circular Dichroism (PECD), was shown to take place in all ionization regimes, from single photon to tunnel ionization. In the Resonance Enhanced Multiphoton Ionisation (REMPI) regime, where most of the table-top PECD experiments have been performed, understanding the role of the intermediate resonances is currently the subject of experimental and theoretical investigations. In an attempt to decouple the role of bound-bound and bound-continuum transitions in REMPI-PECD, we photoionized the (+)-limonene enantiomer using two-color laser fields in [1+1'] and [2+2'] ionization schemes, where the polarization state of each color can be controlled independently. We demonstrate that the main effect of the bound-bound transition is to break the sample isotropy by orientation-dependent photoexcitation, in agreement with recent theoretical pre- dictions. We show that the angular distribution of PECD strongly depends on the anisotropy of photoexcitation to the intermediate state, which is different for circularly and linearly polarized laser pulses. On the contrary, the helicity of the pulse that drives the bound-bound transition is shown to have a negligible effect on the PECD.

We consider the entropy of near extremal black holes with multiple charges in the context of the recently proposed correspondence principle of Horowitz and Polchinski, including black holes with two, three and four Ramond-Ramond charges. We find that at the matching point the black hole entropy can be accounted for by massless open strings ending on the D-branes for all cases except a black hole with four Ramond-Ramond charges, in which case a possible resolution in terms of brane-antibrane excitations is considered.

Emerging resistive-crossbar memory (RCM) technology can be promising for computationally-expensive analog pattern-matching tasks. However, the use of CMOS analog-circuits with RCM would result in large power-consumption and poor scalability, thereby eschewing the benefits of RCM-based computation. We propose the use of low-voltage, fast-switching, magneto-metallic spin-neurons for ultra low-power non-Boolean computing with RCM. We present the design of analog associative memory for face recognition using RCM, where, substituting conventional analog circuits with spin-neurons can achieve ~100x lower power. This makes the proposed design ~1000x more energy-efficient than a 45nm-CMOS digital ASIC, thereby significantly enhancing the prospects of RCM based computational hardware.

We enhance the vanilla adversarial training method for unsupervised Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) by a diffusion-GAN. Our model (1) injects instance noises of various intensities to the generator's output and unlabeled reference text which are sampled from pretrained phoneme language models with a length constraint, (2) asks diffusion timestep-dependent discriminators to separate them, and (3) back-propagates the gradients to update the generator. Word/phoneme error rate comparisons with wav2vec-U under Librispeech (3.1% for test-clean and 5.6% for test-other), TIMIT and MLS datasets, show that our enhancement strategies work effectively.

We consider functions from the real numbers to the real numbers, output by a neural network with 1 hidden activation layer, arbitrary width, and ReLU activation function. We assume that the parameters of the neural network are chosen uniformly at random with respect to various probability distributions, and compute the expected distribution of the points of non-linearity. We use these results to explain why the network may be biased towards outputting functions with simpler geometry, and why certain functions with low information-theoretic complexity are nonetheless hard for a neural network to approximate.

Topological defects (TDs) in crystal lattices are elementary lattice imperfections that cannot be removed by local perturbations, due to their real space topology. We show that adding TDs into a valley photonic crystal generates a lattice disclination that acts like a domain wall and hosts topological edge states. The disclination functions as a freeform waveguide connecting a pair of TDs of opposite topological charge. This interplay between the real-space topology of lattice defects and band topology provides a novel scheme to implement large-scale photonic structures with complex arrangements of robust topological waveguides and resonators.

Numerical simulations of interchange turbulence in the Scrape-Off Layer are performed in a regime relevant for a specific L-mode MAST (Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak) discharge. Such a discharge was diagnosed with a reciprocating arm equipped with a Gundestrup probe. A detailed comparison of the average and statistical properties of the simulated and experimental ion saturation current is performed. Good agreement is found in the time averaged radial profile, in the probability distribution functions (PDFs) and in qualitative features of the signals such as the shape, duration and separation of burst events. These results confirm the validity of the simple interchange model used and help to identify where it can be improved. Finally, the simulated data are used to assess the importance of the temperature fluctuations on plasma potential and radial velocity measurements acquired with Langmuir probes. It is shown that the correlation between the actual plasma quantities and the signal of the synthetic diagnostics is poor, suggesting that accurate measurements of the temperature fluctuations are needed in order to obtain reliable estimates of the perpendicular fluxes.

For a smooth projective variety X of dimension 2n-1 over complex field, Zhao defined the topological Abel-Jacobi map, which sends vanishing cycles on a smooth hyperplane section Y to the middle dimensional primitive intermediate Jacobian of X. It agrees with Griffiths' Abel-Jacobi map on vanishing cycles that are algebraic and varies holomorphically on the locus of Hodge classes as hyperplane section deforms. On the other hand, Schnell proposed an alternative construction using the real-splitting property of the mixed Hodge structure on H^{2n-1}(X\Y). We show that the two definitions coincide, which answers a question of Schnell.

Thanks to J.~Schwinger, the process of elastic scattering of neutrons by nuclei is known to depend on the interference between a nuclear amplitude and an electromagnetic one for small scattering angles, resulting in spin asymmetries of a cross section or in polarization of the scattered neutrons. While this interference depends on the neutron's {\it transverse} polarization and on {\it an imaginary part} of the nuclear amplitude, this conclusion holds only for the incident plane-wave neutrons with a definite momentum. Here we show that this scattering is altered when the twisted neutrons, recently obtained experimentally, are used instead -- that is, neutrons with an orbital angular momentum. For bulk targets, the angular distributions of the scattered neutrons get modified, while scattering of a superposition of states with the different angular momenta also reveals dependence on the longitudinal polarization. For well-localized targets, the observables develop a dependence on the neutron's {\it helicity} and on {\it a real part} of the nuclear amplitude, providing full access to its phase already in the Born approximation. We argue that the corresponding spin asymmetries are measurable at existing neutron facilities. Thus, scattering of the twisted neutrons by nuclei can provide means for quantum tomography of the neutron states and become a useful tool for hadronic studies, low-energy nuclear physics, tests of fundamental symmetries, and neutron optics.

Inflation is considered to be the best paradigm for describing the early universe. However, it is still unclear what is the nature of the field which drives inflation. In this talk, we discuss the possibility of spinor field driving inflation. Spinflaton -- a scalar condensate of the dark spinor field -- has a single scalar degree of freedom and leads to the identical acceleration equation as the scalar field. We also discuss the advantages of this model compared to the scalar field driven inflation and discuss its observational relevance.

Dance requires skillful composition of complex movements that follow rhythmic, tonal and timbral features of music. Formally, generating dance conditioned on a piece of music can be expressed as a problem of modelling a high-dimensional continuous motion signal, conditioned on an audio signal. In this work we make two contributions to tackle this problem. First, we present a novel probabilistic autoregressive architecture that models the distribution over future poses with a normalizing flow conditioned on previous poses as well as music context, using a multimodal transformer encoder. Second, we introduce the currently largest 3D dance-motion dataset, obtained with a variety of motion-capture technologies, and including both professional and casual dancers. Using this dataset, we compare our new model against two baselines, via objective metrics and a user study, and show that both the ability to model a probability distribution, as well as being able to attend over a large motion and music context are necessary to produce interesting, diverse, and realistic dance that matches the music.

Exponential band edges have been observed in a variety of materials, both crystalline and amorphous. In this paper, we infer the structural origins of these tails in amorphous and defective crystalline Si by direct calculation with current {\it ab initio} methods. We find that exponential tails appear in relaxed models of diamond with suitable point defects. In amorphous silicon (a-Si), we find that structural filaments of short bonds and long bonds exist in the network, and that the tail states near the extreme edges of both band tails are are also filamentary, with much localization on the structural filaments. We connect the existence of both filament systems to structural relaxation in the presence of defects and or topological disorder.

The current context of launchers reusability requires the improvement of control algorithms for their liquid-propellant rocket engines. Their transient phases are generally still performed in open loop. In this paper, it is aimed at enhancing the control performance and robustness during the fully continuous phase of the start-up transient of a generic gas-generator cycle. The main control goals concern end-state tracking in terms of combustion-chamber pressure and chambers mixture ratios, as well as the verification of a set of hard operational constraints. A controller based on a nonlinear preprocessor and on linear MPC (Model-Predictive Control) has been synthesised, making use of nonlinear state-space models of the engine. The former generates the full-state reference to be tracked while the latter achieves the aforementioned goals with sufficient accuracy and verifying constraints for the required pressure levels. Robustness considerations are included in the MPC algorithm via an epigraph formulation of the minimax robust optimisation problem, where a finite set of perturbation scenarios is considered.

Employing the elemental sensitivity of x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), we study the valence and magnetic order in the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn$_5$. We probe spin population of the f-electrons in Ce and d-electrons in Co as a function of temperature (down to 0.1 K) and magnetic field (up to 6 T). From the XAS we find a pronounced contribution of Ce$^{4+}$ component at low temperature and a clear temperature dependence of the Ce valence below 5 K, suggesting enhanced valence fluctuations, an indication for the presence of a nearby quantum critical point (QCP). We observe no significant corresponding change with magnetic field. The XMCD displays a weak signal for Ce becoming clear only at 6 T. This splitting of the Kramers doublet ground state of Ce$^{3+}$ is significantly smaller than expected for independent but screened ions, indicating strong antiferromagnetic pair interactions. The unconventional character of superconductivity in CeCoIn$_5$ is evident in the extremely large specific heat step at the superconducting transition.

Quantum annealing aims to exploit quantum mechanics to speed up the search for the solution to optimization problems. Most problems exhibit complete connectivity between the logical spin variables after they are mapped to the Ising spin Hamiltonian of quantum annealing. To account for hardware constraints of current and future physical quantum annealers, methods enabling the embedding of fully connected graphs of logical spins into a constant-degree graph of physical spins are therefore essential. Here, we compare the recently proposed embedding scheme for quantum annealing with all-to-all connectivity due to Lechner, Hauke and Zoller (LHZ) [Science Advances 1 (2015)] to the commonly used minor embedding (ME) scheme. Using both simulated quantum annealing and parallel tempering simulations, we find that for a set of instances randomly chosen from a class of fully connected, random Ising problems, the ME scheme outperforms the LHZ scheme when using identical simulation parameters, despite the fault tolerance of the latter to weakly correlated spin-flip noise. This result persists even after we introduce several decoding strategies for the LHZ scheme, including a minimum-weight decoding algorithm that results in substantially improved performance over the original LHZ scheme. We explain the better performance of the ME scheme in terms of more efficient spin updates, which allows it to better tolerate the correlated spin-flip errors that arise in our model of quantum annealing. Our results leave open the question of whether the performance of the two embedding schemes can be improved using scheme-specific parameters and new error correction approaches.

We investigate the clustering of halos in cosmological models starting with general local-type non-Gaussian primordial fluctuations. We employ multiple Gaussian fields and add local-type non-Gaussian corrections at arbitrary order to cover a class of models described by frequently-discussed f_nl, g_nl and \tau_nl parameterization. We derive a general formula for the halo power spectrum based on the peak-background split formalism. The resultant spectrum is characterized by only two parameters responsible for the scale-dependent bias at large scale arising from the primordial non-Gaussianities in addition to the Gaussian bias factor. We introduce a new inequality for testing non-Gaussianities originating from multi fields, which is directly accessible from the observed power spectrum. We show that this inequality is a generalization of the Suyama-Yamaguchi inequality between f_nl and \tau_nl to the primordial non-Gaussianities at arbitrary order. We also show that the amplitude of the scale-dependent bias is useful to distinguish the simplest quadratic non-Gaussianities (i.e., f_nl-type) from higher-order ones (g_nl and higher), if one measures it from multiple species of galaxies or clusters of galaxies. We discuss the validity and limitations of our analytic results by comparison with numerical simulations in an accompanying paper.

By using post-annealing and quenching technique, we show that the critical current density Jc,ab of KxFe2-ySe2 single crystals can be enhanced more than one order of magnitude up to ~ 2.1 \times 10^4 A/cm^2 at 1.8 K. The scaling law between normalized pinning force and reduced field for all measured temperatures was observed, reflecting the presence of only one dominant pinning mechanism. Analysis indicates presence of 3D point-like normal core pinning sources in quenched KxFe2-ySe2 samples whereas dominant vortex interaction with pinning centers is via spatial variations in Tc ("deltaTc pinning").

The inference of the interactions between organisms in an ecosystem from observational data is an important problem in ecology. This paper presents a mathematical inference method, originally developed for the inference of biochemical networks in molecular biology, adapted for the inference of networks of ecological interactions. The method is applied to a network of invertebrate families (taxa) in a rice field.

Earlier this year, we published a scathing critique of a paper by Mendez et al. (2013) in which the claim was made that a Y chromosome was 237,000-581,000 years old. Elhaik et al. (2014) also attacked a popular article in Scientific American by the senior author of Mendez et al. (2013), whose title was "Sex with other human species might have been the secret of Homo sapiens's [sic] success" (Hammer 2013). Five of the 11 authors of Mendez et al. (2013) have now written a "rebuttal," and we were allowed to reply. Unfortunately, our reply was censored for being "too sarcastic and inflamed." References were removed, meanings were castrated, and a dedication in the Acknowledgments was deleted. Now, that the so-called rebuttal by 45% of the authors of Mendez et al. (2013) has been published together with our vasectomized reply, we decided to make public our entire reply to the so called "rebuttal." In fact, we go one step further, and publish a version of the reply that has not even been self-censored.

It is shown that in the weak field approximation solutions of Brans-Dicke equations are simply related to the solutions of General Relativity equations for the same matter distribution. A simple method is developed which permits to obtain Brans-Dicke solutions from Einstein solutions when both theories are considered in their linearized forms. To illustrate the method some examples found in the literature are discussed.

Knowledge Transfer for Pseudo-code Generation from Low Resource Programming Language

Generation of pseudo-code descriptions of legacy source code for software maintenance is a manually intensive task. Recent encoder-decoder language models have shown promise for automating pseudo-code generation for high resource programming languages such as C++, but are heavily reliant on the availability of a large code-pseudocode corpus. Soliciting such pseudocode annotations for codes written in legacy programming languages (PL) is a time consuming and costly affair requiring a thorough understanding of the source PL. In this paper, we focus on transferring the knowledge acquired by the code-to-pseudocode neural model trained on a high resource PL (C++) using parallel code-pseudocode data. We aim to transfer this knowledge to a legacy PL (C) with no PL-pseudocode parallel data for training. To achieve this, we utilize an Iterative Back Translation (IBT) approach with a novel test-cases based filtration strategy, to adapt the trained C++-to-pseudocode model to C-to-pseudocode model. We observe an improvement of 23.27% in the success rate of the generated C codes through back translation, over the successive IBT iteration, illustrating the efficacy of our approach.

The problem of the reliable transfer of entanglement from one pure bipartite quantum state to another using local operations is analyzed. It is shown that in the case of qubits the amount that can be transferred is restricted to the difference between the entanglement of the two states. In the presence of a catalytic state the range of the transferrable amount broadens to a certain degree.

CAB: Continuous Adaptive Blending Estimator for Policy Evaluation and Learning

The ability to perform offline A/B-testing and off-policy learning using logged contextual bandit feedback is highly desirable in a broad range of applications, including recommender systems, search engines, ad placement, and personalized health care. Both offline A/B-testing and off-policy learning require a counterfactual estimator that evaluates how some new policy would have performed, if it had been used instead of the logging policy. In this paper, we identify a family of counterfactual estimators which subsumes most such estimators proposed to date. Our analysis of this family identifies a new estimator - called Continuous Adaptive Blending (CAB) - which enjoys many advantageous theoretical and practical properties. In particular, it can be substantially less biased than clipped Inverse Propensity Score (IPS) weighting and the Direct Method, and it can have less variance than Doubly Robust and IPS estimators. In addition, it is sub-differentiable such that it can be used for learning, unlike the SWITCH estimator. Experimental results show that CAB provides excellent evaluation accuracy and outperforms other counterfactual estimators in terms of learning performance.

Combined Raman scattering and ab initio investigation of pressure-induced structural phase transitions in the scintillator ZnWO4

Room-temperature Raman scattering was measured in ZnWO4 up to 45 GPa. We report the pressure dependence of all the Raman-active phonons of the low-pressure wolframite phase. As pressure increases new Raman peaks appear at 30.6 GPa due to the onset of a reversible structural phase transition to a distorted monoclinic b-fergusonite-type phase. The low- and high-pressure phases coexist from 30.6 GPa to 36.5 GPa. In addition to the Raman measurements we also report ab initio total-energy and lattice-dynamics calculations for the two phases. These calculations helped us to determine the crystalline structure of the high-pressure phase and to assign the observed Raman modes in both the wolframite and b-fergusonite phases. Based upon the ab initio calculations we propose the occurrence of a second phase transition at 57.6 GPa from the b-fergusonite phase to an orthorhombic Cmca phase. The pressure evolution of the lattice parameters and the atomic positions of wolframite ZnWO4 are also theoretically calculated and an equation of state reported.
