The paper presents new simple sharp bounds for transition density functions for time-homogeneous diffusions processes. The bounds are obtained under mild conditions on the drift and diffusion coefficients, extending and substantially improving previous results in the literature which were limited to drifts satisfying a linear growth condition. They lead to an asymptotic expression for the transition density as the transition time approaches zero. While the focus is on the one-dimensional case, an extension to multiple dimensions is discussed. Results are illustrated by numerical examples.

We discuss the general properties of generalized parton distributions with helicity flip (transversity) for spin-1 hadrons in the leading twist case. Using a basic light cone convolution model, we show the deuteron helicity amplitudes containing quark helicity flip GPDs and comment on the role deuteron angular momentum plays in these.

We discuss the issue of observables in general-relativistic perturbation theory, adopting the view that any observable in general relativity is represented by a scalar field on spacetime. In the context of perturbation theory, an observable is therefore a scalar field on the perturbed spacetime, and as such is gauge invariant in an exact sense (to all orders), as one would expect. However, perturbations are usually represented by fields on the background spacetime, and expanded at different orders into contributions that may or may not be gauge independent. We show that perturbations of scalar quantities are observable if they are first order gauge-invariant, even if they are gauge dependent at higher order. Gauge invariance to first order plays therefore an important conceptual role in the theory, for it selects the perturbations with direct physical meaning from those having only a mathematical status. The so-called ``gauge problem'', and the relationship between measured fluctuations and gauge dependent perturbations that are computed in the theory are also clarified.

Recent work has shown that, in generative modeling, cross-entropy loss improves smoothly with model size and training compute, following a power law plus constant scaling law. One challenge in extending these results to reinforcement learning is that the main performance objective of interest, mean episode return, need not vary smoothly. To overcome this, we introduce *intrinsic performance*, a monotonic function of the return defined as the minimum compute required to achieve the given return across a family of models of different sizes. We find that, across a range of environments, intrinsic performance scales as a power law in model size and environment interactions. Consequently, as in generative modeling, the optimal model size scales as a power law in the training compute budget. Furthermore, we study how this relationship varies with the environment and with other properties of the training setup. In particular, using a toy MNIST-based environment, we show that varying the "horizon length" of the task mostly changes the coefficient but not the exponent of this relationship.

Today, wide-open, high-resolution Doppler frequency shift (DFS) estimation is essential for radar, microwave/millimeter-wave, and communication systems. Using photonics technology, an effective approach is proposed and experimentally demonstrated, providing a high-resolution and frequency-independent solution. In the approach consisting of two cascaded opto-electronic modulators, DFS between the transmitted microwave/ millimeter-wave signal and the received echo signal is mapped into a doubled spacing between two target optical sidebands. Subsequently, the DFS is then estimated through the spectrum analysis of a generated low-frequency electrical signal, with an improved resolution by a factor of 2. In experiments, DFSs from -90 to 90 KHz are successfully estimated for microwave/millimeter-wave signals at 10, 15, and 30 GHz, where estimation errors keep lower than +/- 5e-10 Hz. For radial velocity measurement, these results reveal a range from 0 to 900 m/s (0 to 450 m/s) and a resolution of 1e-11 m/s (5e-12 m/s) at 15-GHz (30-GHz) frequency band.

In this article, based on two case studies, we discuss the role of abnormal geodesics in planar Zermelo navigation problems. Such curves are limit curves of the accessibility set, in the domain where the current is strong. The problem is set in the frame of geometric time optimal control, where the control is the heading angle of the ship and in this context, abnormal curves are shown to separate time minimal curves from time maximal curves and are both small-time minimizing and maximizing. We describe the small-time minimal balls. For bigger time, a cusp singularity can occur in the abnormal direction, which corresponds to a conjugate point along the non-smooth image. It is interpreted in terms of the regularity property of the time minimal value function.

The INT Galactic Plane Survey (IGAPS) is the merger of the optical photometric surveys, IPHAS and UVEX, based on data from the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) obtained between 2003 and 2018. Here, we present the IGAPS point source catalogue. It contains 295.4 million rows providing photometry in the filters, i, r, narrow-band Halpha, g and U_RGO. The IGAPS footprint fills the Galactic coordinate range, |b| < 5deg and 30deg < l < 215deg. A uniform calibration, referred to the Pan-STARRS system, is applied to g, r and i, while the Halpha calibration is linked to r and then is reconciled via field overlaps. The astrometry in all 5 bands has been recalculated on the Gaia DR2 frame. Down to i ~ 20 mag (Vega system), most stars are also detected in g, r and Halpha. As exposures in the r band were obtained within the IPHAS and UVEX surveys a few years apart, typically, the catalogue includes two distinct r measures, r_I and r_U. The r 10sigma limiting magnitude is ~21, with median seeing 1.1 arcsec. Between ~13th and ~19th magnitudes in all bands, the photometry is internally reproducible to within 0.02 magnitudes. Stars brighter than r=19.5 have been tested for narrow-band Halpha excess signalling line emission, and for variation exceeding |r_I-r_U| = 0.2 mag. We find and flag 8292 candidate emission line stars and over 53000 variables (both at >5sigma confidence). The 174-column catalogue will be available via CDS Strasbourg.

Motivated by the emergence of multicore architectures, and the reality that parallelism is rarely used for analysis in observational astronomy, we demonstrate how general users may employ tightly-coupled multiprocessors in scriptable research calculations while requiring no special knowledge of parallel programming. Our method rests on the observation that much of the appeal of high-level vectorized languages like IDL or MatLab stems from relatively simple internal loops over regular array structures, and that these loops are highly amenable to automatic parallelization with OpenMP. We discuss how ISIS, an open-source astrophysical analysis system embedding the S-Lang numerical language, was easily adapted to exploit this pattern. Drawing from a common astrophysical problem, model fitting, we present beneficial speedups for several machine and compiler configurations. These results complement our previous efforts with PVM, and together lead us to believe that ISIS is the only general purpose spectroscopy system in which such a range of parallelism -- from single processors on multiple machines to multiple processors on single machines -- has been demonstrated.

During an adiabatic pumping cycle a conventional two barrier quantum device takes an electron from the left lead and ejects it to the right lead. Hence the pumped charge per cycle is naively expected to be $Q \le e$. This zero order adiabatic point of view is in fact misleading. For a closed device we can get ${Q > e}$ and even ${Q \gg e}$. In this paper a detailed analysis of the quantum pump operation is presented. Using the Kubo formula for the geometric conductance, and applying the Dirac chains picture, we derive practical estimates for~$Q$.

We theoretically demonstrate control of the plasma-like effective response of a metamaterial composed of aligned metallic nanorods when the electric field of the incident radiation is parallel to the nanorods. By embedding this metamaterial in a coherent atomic/molecular medium, for example silver nanorod arrays submerged in sodium vapor, we can make the metamaterial transmittive in the forbidden frequency region below its plasma frequency. This phenomenon is enabled by having Lorentz absorbers or other coherent processes like stimulated Raman absorption in the background medium which provide a large positive dielectric permittivity in the vicinity of the resonance, thereby rendering the effective permittivity positive. In particular, processes such as electromagnetically induced transparency are shown to provide additional control to switch and tune the new transmission bands.

The temperature dependence of optical constants of titanium nitride thin film is investigated using spectroscopic ellipsometry between 1.4 to 5 eV in the temperature range 300 K to 650 K in steps of 50 K. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric functions "1(E) and "2(E) increase marginally with increase in temperature. A Drude Lorentz dielectric analysis based on free electron and oscillator model are carried out to describe the temperature behavior. The parameters of the Lorentz oscillator model also showed that the relaxation time decreased with temperature while the oscillator energies increased. This study shows that owing to marginal change in the refractive index with temperature, titanium nitride can be employed for surface plasmon sensor applications even in environments where rise in temperature is imminent.

Complex band structure generalizes conventional band structure by also considering wavevectors with complex components. In this way, complex band structure describes both the bulk-propagating states from conventional band structure and the evanescent states that grow or decay from one unit cell to the next. Even though these latter states are excluded by translational symmetry, they become important when translational symmetry is broken via, for example, a surface or impurity. Many studies over the last 80 years have directly or indirectly developed complex band structure for an impressive range of applications, but very few discuss its fundamentals or compare its various results. In this work we build upon these previous efforts to expose the physical foundation of complex band structure, which mathematically implies the existence of complex band structure. We find that a material's static and dynamic electronic structure are both completely described by complex band structure. Furthermore, we show that complex band structure reflects the minimal, intrinsic information contained in the material's Hamiltonian. These realizations then provide a context for discussing, comparing, and unifying the different formulations and applications of complex band structure that have been developed over the years. Ultimately, this discussion introduces the idea of examining the amount of information contained in a material's Hamiltonian so that we can find and exploit the minimal information necessary for understanding a material's properties.

This paper presents a simple recipe to train state-of-the-art multilingual Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) models. We achieve this by first proposing a language-agnostic method to generate a large number of synthetic examples. The second ingredient is to use large-scale multilingual language models (up to 11B parameters). Once fine-tuned on language-specific supervised sets we surpass the previous state-of-the-art results on GEC benchmarks in four languages: English, Czech, German and Russian. Having established a new set of baselines for GEC, we make our results easily reproducible and accessible by releasing a cLang-8 dataset. It is produced by using our best model, which we call gT5, to clean the targets of a widely used yet noisy lang-8 dataset. cLang-8 greatly simplifies typical GEC training pipelines composed of multiple fine-tuning stages -- we demonstrate that performing a single fine-tuning step on cLang-8 with the off-the-shelf language models yields further accuracy improvements over an already top-performing gT5 model for English.

Comparison of categorical characteristic classes of transitive Lie algebroid with Chern-Weil homomorphism

Transitive Lie algebroids have specific properties that allow to look at the transitive Lie algebroid as an element of the object of a homotopy functor. Roughly speaking each transitive Lie algebroids can be described as a vector bundle over the tangent bundle of the manifold which is endowed with additional structures. Therefore transitive Lie algebroids admits a construction of inverse image generated by a smooth mapping of smooth manifolds. Due to to K.Mackenzie (2005) the construction can be managed as a homotopy functor $\mathcal{TLA}_{\rg}$ from category of smooth manifolds to the transitive Lie algebroids. The functor $\mathcal{TLA}_{\rg}$ associates with each smooth manifold $M$ the set $\mathcal{TLA}_{\rg}(M)$ of all transitive algebroids with fixed structural finite dimensional Lie algebra $\rg$. Hence one can construct a classifying space $\cB_{\rg}$ such that the family of all transitive Lie algebroids with fixed Lie algebra $\rg$ over the manifold $M$ has one-to-one correspondence with the family of homotopy classes of continuous maps $[M,\cB_{\rg}]$: $\mathcal{TLA}_{\rg}(M)\approx [M,\cB_{\rg}].$ It allows to describe characteristic classes of transitive Lie algebroids from the point of view a natural transformation of functors similar to the classical abstract characteristic classes for vector bundles and to compare them with that derived from the Chern-Weil homomorphism by J.Kubarski. As a matter of fact we show that the Chern-Weil homomorphism does not cover all characteristic classes from categorical point of view.

The central kiloparsecs of the Milky Way are known to host an old, spheroidal stellar population, whose spatial and kinematical properties set it apart from the boxy/peanut structure that constitutes most of the central stellar mass. The nature of this spheroidal population, whether a small classical bulge, the innermost stellar halo or a population of disk stars with large initial velocity dispersion, remains unclear. This structure is also a promising candidate to host some of the oldest stars in the Galaxy. Here we address the topic of the inner stellar spheroid age, using spectroscopic and photometric metallicities for a sample of 935 RR Lyrae stars that are constituents of this component. By means of stellar population synthesis, we derive an age-metallicity relation for RR Lyrae populations. We infer, for the RR Lyrae stars in the bulge spheroid, an extremely ancient age of $13.41 \pm 0.54$ Gyr and conclude they were among the first stars to form in what is now the Milky Way galaxy. Our age estimate for the central spheroid shows remarkable agreement with the age profile that has been inferred for the Milky Way stellar halo, suggesting a connection between the two structures. However, we find mild evidence for a transition in the halo properties at $r_{\rm GC} \sim 5$~kpc. We also investigate formation scenarios for metal-rich RR Lyrae stars, such as binarity and helium variations, and whether they can provide alternative explanations for the properties of our sample. We conclude that, within our framework, the only viable alternative is to have younger, slightly helium-rich, RR Lyrae stars, a hypothesis that would open intriguing questions for the formation of the inner stellar spheroid.

This letter proposes a joint pilot and payload power allocation (JPA) scheme to mitigate the error propagation problem for uplink multiple-input multiple-output non-orthogonal multiple access (MIMO-NOMA) systems. A base station equipped with a maximum ratio combining and successive interference cancellation (MRC-SIC) receiver is adopted for multiuser detection. The average signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (ASINR) of each user during the MRC-SIC decoding is analyzed by taking into account the error propagation due to the channel estimation error. Furthermore, the JPA design is formulated as a nonconvex optimization problem to maximize the minimum weighted ASINR and is solved optimally with geometric programming. Simulation results confirm the developed performance analysis and show that our proposed scheme can effectively alleviate the error propagation of MRC-SIC and enhance the detection performance, especially for users with moderate energy budgets.

In previous papers, [M1, M2], [M3], we proved the existence as well as regularity of a finite range decomposition for the resolvent $G_{\alpha} (x-y,m^2) = ((-\Delta)^{\alpha\over 2} + m^{2})^{-1} (x-y) $, for $0<\alpha <2$ and all real $m$, in the lattice ${\bf Z}^{d}$ for dimension $d\ge 2$. In this paper, which is a continuation of the previous one, we extend those results by proving the existence as well as regularity of a finite range decomposition for the same resolvent but now on the lattice torus ${\bf Z}^{d}/L^{N+1}{\bf Z}^{d} $ for $d\ge 2$ provided $m\neq 0$ and $0<\alpha <2$. We also prove differentiability and uniform continuity properties with respect to the resolvent parameter $m^{2}$. Here $L$ is any odd positive integer and $N\ge 2$ is any positive integer.

Realising de Sitter vacua in string theory is challenging. For this reason it has been conjectured that de Sitter vacua inhabit the Swampland of inconsistent low-energy effective theories coupled to gravity. Since de Sitter is an attractor for $\Lambda$CDM, the conjecture calls $\Lambda$CDM into question. Reality appears sympathetic to this idea as local measurements of the Hubble constant $H_0$ are also at odds with $\Lambda$CDM analysis of Planck data. This tension suggests that the de Sitter state is unstable, thereby implying a turning point in the Hubble parameter. We present a model relieving this tension, which predicts a turning at small positive redshift $z_*$ that is dictated by present-day matter density $\omega_m$. This feature is easily identified by homogeneous surveys covering redshifts $z \leq 0.1$. We comment on the implications for the Swampland program.

We consider a variation of the standard Hastings-Levitov model HL(0), in which growth is anisotropic. Two natural scaling limits are established and we give precise descriptions of the effects of the anisotropy. We show that the limit shapes can be realised as Loewner hulls and that the evolution of harmonic measure on the cluster boundary can be described by the solution to a deterministic ordinary differential equation related to the Loewner equation. We also characterise the stochastic fluctuations around the deterministic limit flow.

Superpositions of stellar tracings are present in every slitless spectrograph. The probability for such overlaps in the GAIA RVS spectrograph focal plane is estimated using photometric observations of 66 stellar fields, mostly close to the Galactic plane. It is shown that overlaps of bright stars (V<17) are common near the Galactic plane, and no spectrum is free from superpositions of faint star tracings. Most overlappers are of spectral type K.

We explore the consequences of an electroweak symmetry breaking sector which exhibits approximately scale invariant dynamics -- i.e., nontrivial fixed point behavior, as in unparticle models. One can think of an unHiggs as a composite Higgs boson with a continuous mass distribution. We find it convenient to represent the unHiggs in terms of a Kallen-Lehmann spectral function, from which it is simple to verify the generation of gauge boson and fermion masses, and unitarization of WW scattering. We show that a spectral function with broad support, which corresponds to approximate fixed point behavior over an extended range of energy, can lead to an effectively invisible Higgs particle, whose decays at LEP or LHC could be obscured by background.

Metallic hydrogen is capable of showing room temperature superconductivity, but its experimental syntheses are extremely hard. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the synthesis pressure of metallic hydrogen by adding other chemical elements. However, for most hydrides, the metallization of hydrogen by "chemical precompression" to achieve high-temperature superconductivity still requires relatively high pressure, making experimental synthesis difficult. How to achieve high-temperature superconductivity in the low-pressure range (0-50 GPa) is a key issue for realizing practical applications of superconducting materials. Toward this end, this work proposes a strategy for inserting ammonium ions in the fcc crystal of metals. High-throughput calculations of the periodic table reveal 12 elements which can form kinetically stable and superconducting hydrides at low pressures, where the highest superconducting transition temperatures of AlN2H8, MgN2H8 and GaN2H8 can reach up to 118.40, 105.09 and 104.39 K. Pressure-induced bond length changes and charge transfer reveal the physical mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity, where the H atom continuously gains electrons leading to the transition of H+ ions to atomic H, facilitating metallization of hydrogen under mild pressure. Our results also reveal two strong linear scalar relationships, one is the H-atom charge versus superconducting transition temperature and the other is the first ionization energy versus the highest superconducting transition temperature. Besides, ZnN2H8, CdN2H8, and HgN2H8 were found to be superconductors at ambient pressure, and the presence of interstitial electrons suggests that they are also electrides, whose relatively low work functions (3.03, 2.78, and 3.05 eV) imply that they can be used as catalysts for nitrogen reduction reactions as well.

Deep (103 ks) \chandra\ observations of Abell 665 have revealed rich structures in this merging galaxy cluster, including a strong shock and two cold fronts. The newly discovered shock has a Mach number of $M$ = 3.0 $\pm$ 0.6, propagating in front of a cold disrupted cloud. This makes Abell~665 the second cluster where a strong merger shock of $M \approx$ 3 has been detected, after the Bullet cluster. The shock velocity from jump conditions is consistent with (2.7 $\pm$ 0.7) $\times$ 10$^3$ km sec$^{-1}$. The new data also reveal a prominent southern cold front, with potentially heated gas ahead of it. Abell 665 also hosts a giant radio halo. There is a hint of diffuse radio emission extending to the shock at the north, which needs to be examined with better radio data. This new strong shock provides a great opportunity to study the re-acceleration model with the X-ray and radio data combined.

The search for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of the muon is an excellent probe for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. We propose the first dedicated muon EDM search employing the frozen-spin technique at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland, with a sensitivity of $6 \times 10^{-23}~e\!\cdot\!\mathrm{cm}$, improving the current best limit set by the E821 experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory by more than three orders of magnitude. In preparation for a high precision experiment to measure the muon EDM, several R&D studies have been performed at PSI: the characterisation of a possible beamline to host the experiment for the muon beam injection study and the measurement of the multiple Coulomb scattering of positrons in potential detector materials at low momenta for the positron tracking scheme development. This paper discusses experimental concepts and the current status of the muEDM experiment at PSI.

Rigorous assessment of uncertainty is crucial to the utility of DNS results. Uncertainties in the computed statistics arise from two sources: finite statistical sampling and the discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations. Due to the presence of non-trivial sampling error, standard techniques for estimating discretization error (such as Richardson extrapolation) fail or are unreliable. This work provides a systematic and unified approach for estimating these errors. First, a sampling error estimator that accounts for correlation in the input data is developed. Then, this sampling error estimate is used as part of a Bayesian extension of Richardson extrapolation in order to characterize the discretization error. These methods are tested using the Lorenz equations and are shown to perform well. These techniques are then used to investigate the sampling and discretization errors in the DNS of a wall-bounded turbulent flow. For both cases, it is found that while the sampling uncertainty is large enough to make the order of accuracy difficult to determine, the estimated discretization errors are quite small. This indicates that the commonly used heuristics provide ad- equate resolution for this class of problems. However, it is also found that, for some quantities, the discretization error is not small relative to sampling error, indicating that the conventional wisdom that sampling error dominates discretization error for this class of simulations needs to be reevaluated.

Partial transposition of state operator is a well known tool to detect quantum correlations between two parts of a composite system. In this letter, the global partial transpose (GPT) is linked to conceptually multipartite underlying structures in a state - the negativity fonts. If K-way negativity fonts with non zero determinants exist, then selective partial transposition of a pure state, involving K of the N qubits (K leq N) yields an operator with negative eigevalues, identifying K-body correlations in the state. Expansion of GPT interms of K-way partially transposed (KPT) operators reveals the nature of intricate intrinsic correlations in the state. Classification criteria for multipartite entangled states, based on underlying structure of global partial transpose of canonical state, are proposed. Number of N-partite entanglement types for an N qubit system is found to be 2^{N-1}-N+2, while the number of major entanglement classes is 2^{N-1}-1. Major classes for three and four qubit states are listed. Subclasses are determined by the number and type of negativity fonts in canonical state.

In this paper we discuss the case of nonpositive potentials $q(x)$ continuous on the interval $[ 0,1] $. We prove that if $q(x)\leq 0$ and single-barrier then $\frac{\lambda _{n}}{\lambda _{m}}\geq \frac{n^{p}% }{m^{p}}$ for $\lambda _{n}>\lambda _{m}\geq -2q^{\ast },$ where $q^{\ast}=\inf\{q(0), q(1)\}$. Furthermore, we show that there exists $\ell_{0}\in ( 0,1] $ such that for all $\ell\in(0,\ell_{0}],$ the associated eigenvalues $(\lambda _{n}(\ell)) _{n\geq 1}$ (of the problem defined on $[0,\ell]$) satisfy $ \lambda _{1}( \ell)>0$ and $\frac{\lambda _{n}( \ell)}{\lambda _{m}( \ell) }\geq \frac{n^{p}}{m^{p}}$ $n>m\geq 1$. The value $\ell _{0}$ satisfies the following estimate $0<\ell_{0}\leq \sqrt[p]{\frac{-p}{3q^{*}}}$.

Convolutional Neural Networks have demonstrated human-level performance in the classification of melanoma and other skin lesions, but evident performance disparities between differing skin tones should be addressed before widespread deployment. In this work, we propose an efficient yet effective algorithm for automatically labelling the skin tone of lesion images, and use this to annotate the benchmark ISIC dataset. We subsequently use these automated labels as the target for two leading bias unlearning techniques towards mitigating skin tone bias. Our experimental results provide evidence that our skin tone detection algorithm outperforms existing solutions and that unlearning skin tone may improve generalisation and can reduce the performance disparity between melanoma detection in lighter and darker skin tones.

We study multivariate integration of functions that are invariant under permutations (of subsets) of their arguments. We find an upper bound for the $n$th minimal worst case error and show that under certain conditions, it can be bounded independent of the number of dimensions. In particular, we study the application of unshifted and randomly shifted rank-$1$ lattice rules in such a problem setting. We derive conditions under which multivariate integration is polynomially or strongly polynomially tractable with the Monte Carlo rate of convergence $O(n^{-1/2})$. Furthermore, we prove that those tractability results can be achieved with shifted lattice rules and that the shifts are indeed necessary. Finally, we show the existence of rank-$1$ lattice rules whose worst case error on the permutation- and shift-invariant spaces converge with (almost) optimal rate. That is, we derive error bounds of the form $O(n^{-\lambda/2})$ for all $1 \leq \lambda < 2 \alpha$, where $\alpha$ denotes the smoothness of the spaces. Keywords: Numerical integration, Quadrature, Cubature, Quasi-Monte Carlo methods, Rank-1 lattice rules.

As an extension of the so-called BMN conjecture, we investigate the plane-wave limit for possible holographic connection between bulk string theories in non-conformal backgrounds of D$p$-branes and the corresponding supersymmetric gauge theories for $p<5$. Our work is based on the tunneling picture for dominant null trajectories of strings in the limit of large angular momentum. The tunneling null trajectories start from the near-horizon boundary and return to the boundary, and the resulting backgrounds are time-dependent for general D$p$-branes except for $p=3$. We develop a general method for extracting diagonalized two-point functions for boundary theories as Euclidean (bulk) S-matrix in the time-dependent backgrounds. For the case of D0-brane, two-point functions of supergravity modes are shown to agree with the results derived previously by the perturbative analysis of supergravity. We then discuss the implications of the holography for general cases of D$p$-branes including the stringy excitations. All the cases ($p\ne 3, p<5$) exhibit interesting infra-red behaviors, which are different from free-field theories, suggesting the existence of quite nontrivial fixed-points in dual gauge theories.

Despite hitting the headlines regularly and many publications of proofs-of-concept, certified products are failing to breakthrough to the clinic. AI in healthcare is a multi-party process with deep knowledge required in multiple individual domains. The lack of understanding of the specific challenges in the domain is, therefore, the major contributor to the failure to deliver on the big promises. Thus, we present a decision perspective framework, for the development of AI-driven biomedical products, from conception to market launch. Our framework highlights the risks, objectives and key results which are typically required to proceed through a three-phase process to the market launch of a validated medical AI product. We focus on issues related to Clinical validation, Regulatory affairs, Data strategy and Algorithmic development. The development process we propose for AI in healthcare software strongly diverges from modern consumer software development processes. We highlight the key time points to guide founders, investors and key stakeholders throughout their relevant part of the process. Our framework should be seen as a template for innovation frameworks, which can be used to coordinate team communications and responsibilities towards a reasonable product development roadmap, thus unlocking the potential of AI in medicine.

The anomalously large cos(2 phi) asymmetry measured in the Drell-Yan process is discussed. Possible origins of this large deviation from the Lam-Tung relation are considered with emphasis on the comparison of two particular proposals: one that suggests it arises from a QCD vacuum effect and one that suggests it is a hadronic effect. Experimental signatures distinguishing these effects are discussed.

Bilevel optimization has been widely used in many machine learning applications such as hyperparameter optimization and meta learning. Recently, many simple stochastic gradient descent(SGD) type algorithms(without using momentum and variance techniques) have been proposed to solve the bilevel optimization problems. However, all the existing simple SGD type algorithms estimate the hypergradient via stochastic estimation of Neumann series. In the paper, we propose to estimate the hypergradient via SGD-based Estimation(i.e., solving the linear system with SGD). By using warm start initialization strategy, a new simple SGD type algorithm SSGD based on SGD-based Estimation is proposed. We provide the convergence rate guarantee for SSGD and show that SSGD outperforms the best known computational complexity achieved by the existing simple SGD type algorithms. Our experiments validate our theoretical results and demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed algorithm SSGD in hyperparameter optimization applications.

ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) have proven useful in crowdsourcing tasks, where they can effectively annotate machine learning training data. However, this means that they also have the potential for misuse, specifically to automatically answer surveys. LLMs can potentially circumvent quality assurance measures, thereby threatening the integrity of methodologies that rely on crowdsourcing surveys. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to detect LLM-generated responses to surveys. The mechanism uses "prompt injection", such as directions that can mislead LLMs into giving predictable responses. We evaluate our technique against a range of question scenarios, types, and positions, and find that it can reliably detect LLM-generated responses with more than 93% effectiveness. We also provide an open-source software to help survey designers use our technique to detect LLM responses. Our work is a step in ensuring that survey methodologies remain rigorous vis-a-vis LLMs.

We discover a weak-gravity bound in scalar-gravity systems in the asymptotic-safety paradigm. The weak-gravity bound arises in these systems under the approximations we make, when gravitational fluctuations exceed a critical strength. Beyond this critical strength, gravitational fluctuations can generate complex fixed-point values in higher-order scalar interactions. Asymptotic safety can thus only be realized at sufficiently weak gravitational interactions. We find that within truncations of the matter-gravity dynamics, the fixed point lies beyond the critical strength, unless spinning matter, i.e., fermions and vectors, is also included in the model.

There are several possible applications of quantum electrodynamics in dielectric media which require a quantum description for the electromagnetic field interacting with matter fields. The associated quantum models can refer to macroscopic electromagnetic fields or, in alternative, to mesoscopic fields (polarization fields) describing an effective interaction between electromagnetic field and matter fields. We adopt the latter approach, and focus on the Hopfield model for the electromagnetic field in a dielectric dispersive medium in a framework in which space-time dependent mesoscopic parameters occur, like susceptibility, matter resonance frequency, and also coupling between electromagnetic field and polarization field. Our most direct goal is to describe in a phenomenological way a space-time varying dielectric perturbation induced by means of the Kerr effect in nonlinear dielectric media. This extension of the model is implemented by means of a Lorentz-invariant Lagrangian which, for constant microscopic parameters, and in the rest frame, coincides with the standard one. Moreover, we deduce a covariant scalar product and provide a covariant quantization scheme which keeps into account the constraints implicit in the model. Examples of viable applications are indicated.

For appropriate domains $\Omega_{1}, \Omega_{2}$ we consider mappings $\Phi_{\mathbf A}:\Omega_{1}\to\Omega_{2}$ of monomial type. We obtain an orthogonal decomposition of the Bergman space $\mathcal A^{2}(\Omega_{1})$ into finitely many closed subspaces indexed by characters of a finite Abelian group associated to the mapping $\Phi_{\mathbf A}$. We then show that each subspace is isomorphic to a weighted Bergman space on $\Omega_{2}$. This leads to a formula for the Bergman kernel on $\Omega_{1}$ as a sum of weighted Bergman kernels on $\Omega_{2}$

We perform numerical simulations of large scale structure evolution in an inhomogeneous Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) model of the Universe. We follow the gravitational collapse of a large underdense region (a void) in an otherwise flat matter-dominated Einstein-deSitter model. We observe how the (background) density contrast at the centre of the void grows to be of order one, and show that the density and velocity profiles follow the exact non-linear LTB solution to the full Einstein equations for all but the most extreme voids. This result seems to contradict previous claims that fully relativistic codes are needed to properly handle the non-linear evolution of large scale structures, and that local Newtonian dynamics with an explicit expansion term is not adequate. We also find that the (local) matter density contrast grows with the scale factor in a way analogous to that of an open universe with a value of the matter density OmegaM(r) corresponding to the appropriate location within the void.

It is shown that if $C$ is a nonempty convex and weakly compact subset of a Banach space $X$ with $M(X)>1$ and $T:C\rightarrow C$ satisfies condition $(C)$ or is continuous and satisfies condition $(C_{\lambda})$ for some $\lambda \in (0,1)$, then $T$ has a fixed point. In particular, our theorem holds for uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces. A similar statement is proved for nearly uniformly noncreasy spaces.

We propose a possible resolution for the problem of why the semicircular law is not observed, whilst the random matrix hypothesis describes well the fluctuation of energy spectra. We show in the random 2-matrix model that the interactions between the quantum subsystems alter the semicircular law of level density. We consider also other types of interactions in the chain- and star-multimatrix models. The connection with the Calogero-Sutherland models is briefly discussed.

Weak scale supersymmetry provides elegant solutions to many of the problems of the standard model, but it also generically gives rise to excessive flavor and CP violation. We show that if the mechanism that suppresses the Yukawa couplings also suppresses flavor changing interactions in the supersymmetry breaking parameters, essentially all the low energy flavor and CP constraints can be satisfied. The standard assumption of flavor universality in the supersymmetry breaking sector is not necessary. We study signatures of this framework at the LHC. The mass splitting among different generations of squarks and sleptons can be much larger than in conventional scenarios, and even the mass ordering can be changed. We find that there is a plausible scenario in which the NLSP is a long-lived right-handed selectron or smuon decaying into the LSP gravitino. This leads to the spectacular signature of monochromatic electrons or muons in a stopper detector, providing strong evidence for the framework.

Most of the Milky Way's evolved massive stellar population is hidden from view. We can attempt to remedy this situation with near-infrared observations, and in this paper we present our method for detecting Wolf-Rayet stars in highly extincted regions and apply it to the inner Galaxy. Using narrow band filters at K-band wavelengths, we demonstrate how WR stars can be detected in regions where they are optically obscured. Candidates are selected for spectroscopic follow-up from our relative line and continuum photometry. The final results of applying this method with a NIR survey in the Galactic plane will provide a more complete knowledge of the structure of the galactic disk, the role of metallicity in massive stellar evolution, and environments of massive star formation. In this paper we briefly describe the survey set-up and report on recent progress. We have discovered four emission-line objects in the inner Galaxy: two with nebular emission lines, and two new WR stars, both of late WC subtype.

Assignment methods are at the heart of many algorithms for unsupervised learning and clustering - in particular, the well-known K-means and Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithms. In this work, we study several different methods of assignment, including the "hard" assignments used by K-means and the ?soft' assignments used by EM. While it is known that K-means minimizes the distortion on the data and EM maximizes the likelihood, little is known about the systematic differences of behavior between the two algorithms. Here we shed light on these differences via an information-theoretic analysis. The cornerstone of our results is a simple decomposition of the expected distortion, showing that K-means (and its extension for inferring general parametric densities from unlabeled sample data) must implicitly manage a trade-off between how similar the data assigned to each cluster are, and how the data are balanced among the clusters. How well the data are balanced is measured by the entropy of the partition defined by the hard assignments. In addition to letting us predict and verify systematic differences between K-means and EM on specific examples, the decomposition allows us to give a rather general argument showing that K ?means will consistently find densities with less "overlap" than EM. We also study a third natural assignment method that we call posterior assignment, that is close in spirit to the soft assignments of EM, but leads to a surprisingly different algorithm.

The usual stochastic order and the likelihood ratio order between probability distributions on the real line are reviewed in full generality. In addition, for the distribution of a random pair $(X,Y)$, it is shown that the conditional distributions of $Y$, given $X = x$, are increasing in $x$ with respect to the likelihood ratio order if and only if the joint distribution of $(X,Y)$ is totally positive of order two (TP2) in a certain sense. It is also shown that these three types of constraints are stable under weak convergence, and that weak convergence of TP2 distributions implies convergence of the conditional distributions just mentioned.

Basis set convergence of the Hartree-Fock and the correlation energy is examined for the hydrogen bonded infinite bent chains (HF)_infinity and (HCl)_infinity. We employ series of correlation consistent basis sets up to quintuple zeta quality together with a coupled cluster method (CCSD) to describe electron correlation on ab initio level. The Hartree-Fock energy converges rapidly with increasing basis set quality whereas the correlation energy is found to be slowly convergent for the same series of basis sets. We study basis set extrapolation for (HF)_infinity and (HCl)_infinity and show that it substantially enhances the accuracy of both the Hartree-Fock and the correlation energy in extended systems.

The interplay of light and matter gives rise to intriguing cooperative effects in quantum many-body systems. This is even true in thermal equilibrium, where the electromagnetic field can hybridize with collective modes of matter, and virtual photons can induce interactions in the solid. Here, we show how these light-mediated interactions can be treated using the dynamical mean-field theory formalism. We consider a minimal model of a two-dimensional material that couples to a surface plasmon polariton mode of a metal-dielectric interface. Within the mean-field approximation, the system exhibits a ferroelectric phase transition that is unaffected by the light-matter coupling. Bosonic dynamical mean-field theory provides a more accurate description and reveals that the photon-mediated interactions enhance the ferroelectric order and stabilize the ferroelectric phase.

In this paper we present a fourth-order in space and time block-structured adaptive mesh refinement algorithm for the compressible multicomponent reacting Navier-Stokes equations. The algorithm uses a finite volume approach that incorporates a fourth-order discretization of the convective terms. The time stepping algorithm is based on a multi-level spectral deferred corrections method that enables explicit treatment of advection and diffusion coupled with an implicit treatment of reactions. The temporal scheme is embedded in a block-structured adaptive mesh refinement algorithm that includes subcycling in time with spectral deferred correction sweeps applied on levels. Here we present the details of the multi-level scheme paying particular attention to the treatment of coarse-fine boundaries required to maintain fourth-order accuracy in time. We then demonstrate the convergence properties of the algorithm on several test cases including both nonreacting and reacting flows. Finally we present simulations of a vitiated dimethyl ether jet in 2D and a turbulent hydrogen jet in 3D, both with detailed kinetics and transport.

In 1980 Englert examined the classic problem of the electromagnetic self-force on an oscillating charged particle. His approach, which was based on an earlier idea of Bateman, was to introduce a charge-conjugate particle and to show that the two-particle system is Hamiltonian. Unfortunately, Englert's model did not solve the problem of runaway modes, and the corresponding quantum theory had ghost states. It is shown here that Englert's Hamiltonian is PT symmetric, and that the problems with his model arise because the PT symmetry is broken at both the classical and quantum level. However, by allowing the charged particles to interact and by adjusting the coupling parameters to put the model into an unbroken PT-symmetric region, one eliminates the classical runaway modes and obtains a corresponding quantum system that is ghost free.

We demonstrate a sensitive method of charge detection based on radio-frequency readout of the Josephson inductance of a superconducting single-electron transistor. Charge sensitivity $1.4 \times 10^{-4}e/\sqrt{Hz}$, limited by preamplifier, is achieved in an operation mode which takes advantage of the nonlinearity of the Josephson potential. Owing to reactive readout, our setup has more than two orders of magnitude lower dissipation than the existing method of radio-frequency electrometry. With an optimized sample, we expect uncoupled energy sensitivity below $\hbar$ in the same experimental scheme.

The dominant background for observations of gamma-rays in the energy region above 50 GeV with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes are cosmic-ray events. The images of most of the cosmic ray showers look significantly different from those of gamma-rays and are therefore easily discriminated. However, a small fraction of events seems to be indistinguishable from gamma-rays. This constitutes an irreducible background to the observation of high-energy gamma-ray sources, and limits the sensitivity achievable with a given instrument. Here, a Monte Carlo study of gamma-like cosmic-ray events is presented. The nature of gamma-like cosmic-ray events, the shower particles that are responsible for the gamma-like appearance, and the dependence of these results on the choice of the hadronic interaction model are investigated. Most of the gamma-like cosmic ray events are characterised by the production of high-energy pi0's early in the shower development which dump most of the shower energy into electromagnetic sub-showers. Also Cherenkov light from single muons can mimic gamma-rays in close-by pairs of telescopes. Differences of up to 25% in the collection area for gamma-like proton showers between QGSJet/FLUKA and Sibyll/FLUKA simulations have been found.

Efficiently Counting Substructures by Subgraph GNNs without Running GNN on Subgraphs

Using graph neural networks (GNNs) to approximate specific functions such as counting graph substructures is a recent trend in graph learning. Among these works, a popular way is to use subgraph GNNs, which decompose the input graph into a collection of subgraphs and enhance the representation of the graph by applying GNN to individual subgraphs. Although subgraph GNNs are able to count complicated substructures, they suffer from high computational and memory costs. In this paper, we address a non-trivial question: can we count substructures efficiently with GNNs? To answer the question, we first theoretically show that the distance to the rooted nodes within subgraphs is key to boosting the counting power of subgraph GNNs. We then encode such information into structural embeddings, and precompute the embeddings to avoid extracting information over all subgraphs via GNNs repeatedly. Experiments on various benchmarks show that the proposed model can preserve the counting power of subgraph GNNs while running orders of magnitude faster.

We study the second-order polaronic resonance between 2-LO-phonon states and p-shell electron states in a quantum dot. We show that the spectrum in the resonance area can be quantitatively reproduced by a theoretical model using only standard material constants, without any free parameters. We propose also a perturbative approach to the problem based on a quasi-degenerate perturbation theory. This method not only considerably reduces the numerical complexity without considerable loss of accuracy but also gives some insight into the structure and origin of the resonance spectrum.

Learning Hidden Structures with Relational Models by Adequately Involving Rich Information in A Network

http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
Effectively modelling hidden structures in a network is very practical but theoretically challenging. Existing relational models only involve very limited information, namely the binary directional link data, embedded in a network to learn hidden networking structures. There is other rich and meaningful information (e.g., various attributes of entities and more granular information than binary elements such as "like" or "dislike") missed, which play a critical role in forming and understanding relations in a network. In this work, we propose an informative relational model (InfRM) framework to adequately involve rich information and its granularity in a network, including metadata information about each entity and various forms of link data. Firstly, an effective metadata information incorporation method is employed on the prior information from relational models MMSB and LFRM. This is to encourage the entities with similar metadata information to have similar hidden structures. Secondly, we propose various solutions to cater for alternative forms of link data. Substantial efforts have been made towards modelling appropriateness and efficiency, for example, using conjugate priors. We evaluate our framework and its inference algorithms in different datasets, which shows the generality and effectiveness of our models in capturing implicit structures in networks.

The Lyman-alpha forest at z >~ 5.5 shows strong scatter in the mean transmission even when smoothed over very large spatial scales, >~ 50 Mpc/h. This has been interpreted as a signature of strongly fluctuating radiation fields, or patchy reionization. To test this claim, we calculate the scatter arising solely from density fluctuations, with a uniform ionizing background, using analytic arguments and simulations. This scatter alone is comparable to that observed. It rises steeply with redshift and is of order unity by z ~ 6, even on ~ 50 Mpc/h scales. This arises because: i) at z ~ 6, transmission spectra, which are sensitive mainly to rare voids, are highly biased (with a linear bias factor b >~ 4-5) tracers of underlying density fluctuations, and ii) projected power from small-scale transverse modes is aliased to long wavelength line-of-sight modes. Inferring patchy reionization from quasar spectra is therefore subtle and requires much more detailed modeling. Similarly, we expect order unity transmission fluctuations in the z ~ 3 HeII Lyman-alpha forest from density fluctuations alone, on the scales over which these measurements are typically made.

Existing techniques for unionable table search define unionability using metadata (tables must have the same or similar schemas) or column-based metrics (for example, the values in a table should be drawn from the same domain). In this work, we introduce the use of semantic relationships between pairs of columns in a table to improve the accuracy of union search. Consequently, we introduce a new notion of unionability that considers relationships between columns, together with the semantics of columns, in a principled way. To do so, we present two new methods to discover semantic relationship between pairs of columns. The first uses an existing knowledge base (KB), the second (which we call a "synthesized KB") uses knowledge from the data lake itself. We adopt an existing Table Union Search benchmark and present new (open) benchmarks that represent small and large real data lakes. We show that our new unionability search algorithm, called SANTOS, outperforms a state-of-the-art union search that uses a wide variety of column-based semantics, including word embeddings and regular expressions. We show empirically that our synthesized KB improves the accuracy of union search by representing relationship semantics that may not be contained in an available KB. This result hints at a promising future of creating a synthesized KBs from data lakes with limited KB coverage and using them for union search.

We study the absolute penalized maximum partial likelihood estimator in sparse, high-dimensional Cox proportional hazards regression models where the number of time-dependent covariates can be larger than the sample size. We establish oracle inequalities based on natural extensions of the compatibility and cone invertibility factors of the Hessian matrix at the true regression coefficients. Similar results based on an extension of the restricted eigenvalue can be also proved by our method. However, the presented oracle inequalities are sharper since the compatibility and cone invertibility factors are always greater than the corresponding restricted eigenvalue. In the Cox regression model, the Hessian matrix is based on time-dependent covariates in censored risk sets, so that the compatibility and cone invertibility factors, and the restricted eigenvalue as well, are random variables even when they are evaluated for the Hessian at the true regression coefficients. Under mild conditions, we prove that these quantities are bounded from below by positive constants for time-dependent covariates, including cases where the number of covariates is of greater order than the sample size. Consequently, the compatibility and cone invertibility factors can be treated as positive constants in our oracle inequalities.

We present the first results of the treatment of grain growth in our 3D, two-fluid (gas+dust) SPH code describing protoplanetary disks. We implement a scheme able to reproduce the variation of grain sizes caused by a variety of physical processes and test it with the analytical expression of grain growth given by Stepinski & Valageas (1997) in simulations of a typical T Tauri disk around a one solar mass star. The results are in agreement with a turbulent growing process and validate the method. We are now able to simulate the grain growth process in a protoplanetary disk given by a more realistic physical description, currently under development. We discuss the implications of the combined effect of grain growth and dust vertical settling and radial migration on subsequent planetesimal formation.

A macroscopic model to describe the dynamics of ion transport in ion channels is the Poisson-Nernst-Planck(PNP) equations. In this paper, we develop a finite-difference method for solving PNP equations, which is second-order accurate in both space and time. We use the physical parameters specifically suited toward the modelling of ion channels. We present a simple iterative scheme to solve the system of nonlinear equations resulting from discretizing the equations implicitly in time, which is demonstrated to converge in a few iterations. We place emphasis on ensuring numerical methods to have the same physical properties that the PNP equations themselves also possess, namely conservation of total ions and correct rates of energy dissipation. We describe in detail an approach to derive a finite-difference method that preserves the total concentration of ions exactly in time. Further, we illustrate that, using realistic values of the physical parameters, the conservation property is critical in obtaining correct numerical solutions over long time scales.

A measured solenoid is a laminated space endowed with a tranversal measure invariant by holonomy, as defined in arXiv:0910.2836. A measured solenoid immersed in a smooth manifold produces a closed current (known as generalized Ruelle-Sullivan current). Uniquely ergodic solenoids are those for which there is a unique (up to scalars) transversal measure. By the results in arXiv:0910.2913, for any smooth manifold, any real homology class is represented by a uniquely ergodic solenoid. In this paper, we prove that the currents associated to uniquely ergodic solenoids are dense in the space of closed currents, therefore proving the abundance of such objects.

We analyze the 2+1 dimensional gauge theory with two fermions in the real adjoint representation with non-zero Chern-Simons level. We propose a new fermion-fermion dualities between strongly-coupled theories and determine the quantum phase using the structure of a `Duality Chain'. We argue that when Chern-Simons level is sufficiently small, the theory in general develops a strongly coupled quantum phase described by an emergent topological field theory. For special cases, our proposal predicts an interesting dynamical scenario with spontaneous breaking of partial 1-form or 0-form global symmetry. It turns out that $SL(2,\mathbb Z)$ transformation and the generalized level/rank duality are crucial for the unitary group case. We further unveil the dynamics of the 2+1 dimensional gauge theory with any pair of adjoint/rank-two fermions or two bifundamental fermions using similar `Duality Chain'.

As a consequence of the financial crises, risk management became more important and real-world dynamics of interest-rate models moved into the focus of interest. Since risk-neutral dynamics are classically important to compute prices of financial derivatives, it is interesting when real-world dynamics can be related to risk-neutral dynamics via an equivalent change of measures. In this article we give deterministic conditions in a general Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework driven by a Hilbert space valued Brownian motion and a Poisson random measure. Our conditions are of Lipschitz type and therefore easy to verify.

Adaptation to environmental change is a common property of biological systems. Cells initially respond to external changes in the environment, but after some time, they regain their original state. By considering an element consisting of two variables that show such adaptation dynamics, we studied a coupled dynamical system containing such elements to examine the diverse dynamics in the system and classified the behaviors on the basis of the network structure that determined the interaction among elements. For a system with two elements, two types of behaviors, perfect adaptation and simple oscillation, were observed. For a system with three elements, in addition to these two types, novel types of dynamics, namely, rapid burst-type oscillation and a slow cycle, were discovered; depending on the initial conditions, these novel types of dynamics coexisted. These behaviors are a result of the characteristic dynamics of each element, i.e., fast response and slow adaptation processes. The behaviors depend on the network structure (in specific, a combination of positive or negative feedback among elements). Cooperativity among elements due to a positive feedback loop leads to simple oscillation, whereas frustration involving alternating positive and negative interactions among elements leads to the coexistence of rapid bursting oscillation and a slow cycle. These behaviors are classified on the basis of the frustration indices defined by the network structure. The period of the slow cycle is much longer than the original adaptation time scale, while the burst-type oscillation is a continued response that does not involve any adaptation. We briefly discuss the universal applicability of our results to a network of a larger number of elements and their possible relevance to biological systems.

Applying the time-dependent variational principle of Balian and V\'en\'eroni, we derive variational approximations for multi-time correlation functions in $\Phi^4$ field theory. We assume first that the initial state is given and characterized by a density operator equal to a Gaussian density matrix. Then, we study the more realistic situation where only a few expectation values are given at the initial time and we perform an optimization with respect to the initial state. We calculate explicitly the two-time correlation functions with two and four field operators at equilibrium in the symmetric phase.

This paper describes how to determine the parameter values of the chaotic Lorenz system from one of its variables waveform. The geometrical properties of the system are used firstly to reduce the parameter search space. Then, a synchronization-based approach, with the help of the same geometrical properties as coincidence criteria, is implemented to determine the parameter values with the wanted accuracy. The method is not affected by a moderate amount of noise in the waveform. As way of example of its effectiveness, the method is applied to figure out directly from the ciphertext the secret keys of two-channel chaotic cryptosystems using the variable $z$ as a synchronization signal, based on the ultimate state projective chaos synchronization.

It is not yet fully understood how magnetohydrodynamic waves in the interior and atmosphere of the Sun are excited. Traditionally, turbulent convection in the interior is considered to be the source of wave excitation in the quiet Sun. Over the last few decades, acoustic events observed in the intergranular lanes in the photosphere have emerged as a strong candidate for a wave excitation source. Here we report our observations of wave excitation by a new type of event: rapidly changing granules. Our observations were carried out with the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph in the H$\alpha$ and Ca II 8542 $\unicode{xC5}$ lines and the TiO 7057 $\unicode{xC5}$ broadband filter imager of the 1.6 m Goode Solar Telescope at the Big Bear Solar Observatory. We identify granules in the internetwork region that undergo rapid dynamic changes such as collapse (event 1), fragmentation (event 2), or submergence (event 3). In the photospheric images, these granules become significantly darker than neighboring granules. Following the granules' rapid changes, transient oscillations are detected in the photospheric and chromospheric layers. In the case of event 1, the dominant period of the oscillations is close to 4.2 min in the photosphere and 3.8 min in the chromosphere. Moreover, in the Ca II$-$0.5 $\unicode{xC5}$ raster image, we observe repetitive brightenings in the location of the rapidly changing granules that are considered the manifestation of shock waves. Based on our results, we suggest that dynamic changes of granules can generate upward-propagating acoustic waves in the quiet Sun that ultimately develop into shocks.

By considering the long-wave limit of the regularized long wave (RLW) equation, we study its multiple-time higher-order evolution equations. As a first result, the equations of the Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy are shown to play a crucial role in providing a secularity-free perturbation theory in the specific case of a solitary-wave solution. Then, as a consequence, we show that the related perturbative series can be summed and gives exactly the solitary-wave solution of the RLW equation. Finally, some comments and considerations are made on the N-soliton solution, as well as on the limitations of applicability of the multiple scale method in obtaining uniform perturbative series.

We show that the symmetries of image formation by scattering enable graph-theoretic manifold-embedding techniques to extract structural and timing information from simulated and experimental snapshots at extremely low signal. The approach constitutes a physically-based, computationally efficient, and noise-robust route to analyzing the large and varied datasets generated by existing and emerging methods for studying structure and dynamics by scattering. We demonstrate three-dimensional structure recovery from X-ray diffraction and cryo-electron microscope image snapshots of unknown orientation, the latter at 12 times lower dose than currently in use. We also show that ultra-low-signal, random sightings of dynamically evolving systems can be sequenced into high quality movies to reveal their evolution. Our approach offers a route to recovering timing information in time-resolved experiments, and extracting 3D movies from two-dimensional random sightings of dynamic systems.

Spatial Reuse (SR) has recently gained attention to maximize the performance of IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Decentralized mechanisms are expected to be key in the development of SR solutions for next-generation WLANs, since many deployments are characterized by being uncoordinated by nature. However, the potential of decentralized mechanisms is limited by the significant lack of knowledge with respect to the overall wireless environment. To shed some light on this subject, we show the main considerations and possibilities of applying online learning to address the SR problem in uncoordinated WLANs. In particular, we provide a solution based on Multi-Armed Bandits (MABs) whereby independent WLANs dynamically adjust their frequency channel, transmit power and sensitivity threshold. To that purpose, we provide two different strategies, which refer to selfish and environment-aware learning. While the former stands for pure individual behavior, the second one considers the performance experienced by surrounding networks, thus taking into account the impact of individual actions on the environment. Through these two strategies we delve into practical issues of applying MABs in wireless networks, such as convergence guarantees or adversarial effects. Our simulation results illustrate the potential of the proposed solutions for enabling SR in future WLANs. We show that substantial improvements on network performance can be achieved regarding throughput and fairness.

This article takes the form of a tutorial on the use of a particular class of mixed finite element methods, which can be thought of as the finite element extension of the C-grid staggered finite difference method. The class is often referred to as compatible finite elements, mimetic finite elements, discrete differential forms or finite element exterior calculus. We provide an elementary introduction in the case of the one-dimensional wave equation, before summarising recent results in applications to the rotating shallow water equations on the sphere, before taking an outlook towards applications in three-dimensional compressible dynamical cores.

High-fidelity trapped-ion qubit operations with scalable photonic modulators

Experiments with trapped ions and neutral atoms typically employ optical modulators in order to control the phase, frequency, and amplitude of light directed to individual atoms. These elements are expensive, bulky, consume substantial power, and often rely on free-space I/O to deliver light to ions, all of which pose scaling challenges. To support many-ion systems like trapped ion quantum computers, as well as miniaturized deployable devices like clocks and sensors, these elements must ultimately be microfabricated, ideally monolithically with the trap to avoid losses associated with optical coupling between physically separate components. In this work we design and fabricate an optical modulator capable of monolithic integration with a surface-electrode ion trap, demonstrating the first modulator technology capable of supporting scalable trapped-ion quantum computing. Tested here on separate chips, these devices consist of piezo-optomechanical photonic integrated circuits configured as multi-stage Mach-Zehnder modulators that are used to control the intensity of light delivered to a single trapped ion. We use quantum tomography employing hundreds of multi-gate sequences to enhance the sensitivity of the fidelity to the types and magnitudes of gate errors relevant to quantum computing and better characterize the performance of the modulators, ultimately measuring single qubit gate fidelities that exceed 99.7%.

The detection of neuronal communities is addressed with basis on two important concepts from neuroscience: facilitation of neuronal firing and nearly simultaneous beginning of activation of sets of neurons. More specifically, integrate-and-fire complex neuronal networks are activated at each of their nodes, and the dissemination of activation is monitored. As the activation received by each neuron accumulates, its firing gets facilitated. The time it takes for each neuron, other than the source, to receive the first non-zero input (beginning activation time) and the time for it to produce the first spike (beginning spiking time) are identified through simulations. It is shown, with respect to two synthetic and a real-world (\emph{C. elegans}) neuronal complex networks, that the patterns of beginning activation times (and to a lesser extent also of the spiking times) tend to cluster into groups corresponding to communities of neurons in the original complex neuronal network. Such an effect is identified to be a direct consequence of the almost simultaneous activation between the nodes inside the same community in which the source of activation is placed, as well as of the respective trapping of activation implied by the integration of activiation prior to firing. Interestingly, the accumulation of activity and thresholds inside each neuron were found to be essential for constraining the initial activations within each respective community during the transient activation (no clear clusters were observed when using overall activation or spiking rates). In addition to its intrinsic value for neuroscience and structure-dynamics studies, these results confirm the importance of the consideration of transient dynamics in complex systems investigations.

In this note, by making use of a known hypergeometric series identity, I prove two Ramanujan-type series for the Catalan's constant. The convergence rate of these central binomial series surpasses those of all known similar series, including a classical formula by Ramanujan and a recent formula by Lupas. Interestingly, this suggests that an Ap\'{e}ry-like irrationality proof could be found for this constant.

We report on the detection of pulsed, broad-band, X-ray emission from the transient source RX J0117.6-7330. The pulse period of 22 seconds is detected by the ROSAT/PSPC instrument in a 1992 Sep 30 - Oct 2 observation and by the CGRO/BATSE instrument during the same epoch. Hard X-ray pulsations are detectable by BATSE for approximately 100 days surrounding the ROSAT observation (1992 Aug 28 - Dec 8). The total directly measured X-ray luminosity during the ROSAT observation is 1.0E38 (d/60 kpc)^2 ergs s-1. The pulse frequency increases rapidly during the outburst, with a peak spin-up rate of 1.2E-10 Hz s-1 and a total frequency change 1.8%. The pulsed percentage is 11.3% from 0.1-2.5 keV, increasing to at least 78% in the 20-70 keV band. These results establish RX J0117.6-7330 as a transient Be binary system.

Financial Storage Rights in Electric Power Networks

The decreasing cost of energy storage technologies coupled with their potential to bring significant benefits to electric power networks have kindled research efforts to design both market and regulatory frameworks to facilitate the efficient construction and operation of such technologies. In this paper, we examine an open access approach to the integration of storage, which enables the complete decoupling of a storage facility's ownership structure from its operation. In particular, we analyze a nodal spot pricing system built on a model of economic dispatch in which storage is centrally dispatched by the independent system operator (ISO) to maximize social welfare. Concomitant with such an approach is the ISO's collection of a merchandising surplus reflecting congestion in storage. We introduce a class of tradable electricity derivatives ---referred to as financial storage rights (FSRs)--- to enable the redistribution of such rents in the form of financial property rights to storage capacity; and establish a generalized simultaneous feasibility test to ensure the ISO's revenue adequacy when allocating such financial property rights to market participants. Several advantages of such an approach to open access storage are discussed. In particular, we illustrate with a stylized example the role of FSRs in synthesizing fully hedged, fixed-price bilateral contracts for energy, when the seller and buyer exhibit differing intertemporal supply and demand characteristics, respectively.

We show that our tensor product is a special case of the tensor product of locally presentable linear categories, and that the tensor product of locally coherent Grothendieck categories is locally coherent if and only if the Deligne tensor product of their abelian categories of finitely presented objects exists. We describe the tensor product of non-commutative projective schemes in terms of Z-algebras, and show that for projective schemes our tensor product corresponds to the usual product scheme.

Observables in the quantum field theories of $(D-1)$-form fields, $\ca$, on $D$-dimensional, compact and orientable manifolds, $M$, are computed. Computations of the vacuum value of $T_{ab}$ find it to be the metric times a function of the volume of spacetime, $\Omega(M)$. Part of this function of $\Omega$ is a finite zero-mode contribution. The correlation functions of another set of operators give intersection numbers on $M$. Furthermore, a similar computation for products of Wilson area operators results in a function of the volumes of the intersections of the submanifolds the operators are defined on. In addition, scalar field couplings are introduced and potentials are induced after integrating out the $\ca$ field. Lastly, the thermodynamics of the pure theories is found to be analogous to the zero-point motion of a scalar particle. The coupling of a Gaussian scalar field to the $\ca$ field is found to manifest itself on the free energy at high temperatures and/or small volumes.

We shall derive and propose several efficient overlapping domain decomposition methods for solving some typical linear inverse problems, including the identiffication of the flux, the source strength and the initial temperature in second order elliptic and parabolic systems. The methods are iterative, and computationally very efficient: only local forward and adjoint problems need to be solved in each subdomain, and the local minimizations have explicit solutions. Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the methods, in particular, the convergences seem nearly optimal, i.e., they do not deteriorate or deteriorate only slightly when the mesh size reduces.

The W-fusion scattering process W+W- --> ZZ for off-shell W bosons is studied, focusing on the issue of its high-energy behaviour which is known to be anomalous. It is shown that the unitarity violating terms can be isolated and extracted in a well-defined and efficient way using the pinch-technique. This restores the good high energy behaviour of the cross section and, in particular, makes possible the identification of the Higgs resonance in the invariant mass distribution M(ZZ) of the Z pair. The discarded terms, which are proportional to the off-shellness of the W bosons, cancel against similar terms originating from the remaining diagrams for the full physical process f1 f2 --> f1' f2' Z Z. This cancellation ensures the gauge invariance of our result, which therefore constitutes a meaningful separation between signal and background when they both contribute coherently. Equipped with this result, we are able to define a resonant approximation for the process p p --> Z Z + 2 jets + X, which circumvents the problem of good high energy behaviour without having to resort to the lengthy calculation of the complete set of diagrams. In this approximation only the W and Z fusion signal graphs are included, i.e. the ones which contain the Higgs resonance. We have verified that the approximate resonant cross section describes very well the full result not only close to the resonance but also beyond it.

Many astronomical surveys are limited by the brightness of the sources, and gravitational-wave searches are no exception. The detectability of gravitational waves from merging binaries is affected by the mass and spin of the constituent compact objects. To perform unbiased inference on the distribution of compact binaries, it is necessary to account for this selection effect, which is known as Malmquist bias. Since systematic error from selection effects grows with the number of events, it will be increasingly important over the coming years to accurately estimate the observational selection function for gravitational-wave astronomy. We employ density estimation methods to accurately and efficiently compute the compact binary coalescence selection function. We introduce a simple pre-processing method, which significantly reduces the complexity of the required machine learning models. We demonstrate that our method has smaller statistical errors at comparable computational cost than the method currently most widely used allowing us to probe narrower distributions of spin magnitudes. The currently used method leaves $10-50\%$ of the interesting black hole spin models inaccessible; our new method can probe $>99\%$ of the models and has a lower uncertainty for $>80\%$ of the models.

We study the large population limit of a stochastic individual-based model which describes the time evolution of a diploid hermaphroditic population reproducing according to Mendelian rules. In [Neukirch, Bovier, 2016] it is proved that sexual reproduction allows unfit alleles to survive in individuals with mixed genotype much longer than they would in populations reproducing asexually. In the present paper we prove that this indeed opens the possibility that individuals with a pure genotype can reinvade in the population after the appearance of further mutations. We thus expose a formal description of a mechanism by which a recessive allele can re-emerge in a population. This can be seen as a statement of genetic robustness exhibited by diploid populations performing sexual reproduction.

Phase estimation is used in many quantum algorithms, particularly in order to estimate energy eigenvalues for quantum systems. When using a single qubit as the probe (used to control the unitary we wish to estimate the eigenvalue of), it is not possible to measure the phase with a minimum mean-square error. In standard methods, there would be a logarithmic (in error) number of control qubits needed in order to achieve this minimum error. Here show how to perform this measurement using only two control qubits, thereby reducing the qubit requirements of the quantum algorithm. Our method corresponds to preparing the optimal control state one qubit at a time, while it is simultaneously consumed by the measurement procedure.

Possible non-standard couplings which could contribute to the t -> b W process are studied based on the effective-Lagrangian approach. The corresponding effective Lagrangian consists of four kinds of dimension-6 effective operators, each of which has an independent coupling constant. In this analysis, all those couplings are treated as complex numbers and constraints on them are estimated by using recent experimental data from the LHC. We point out that the resultant constraints on those couplings are still not that strong because contributions from some couplings can work oppositely with each other.

A longitudinal space charge amplifier (LSCA), operating in soft x-ray regime, was recently proposed. Such an amplifier consists of a few amplification cascades (focusing channel and chicane) and a short radiator undulator in the end. Broadband nature of LSCA supports generation of few-cycle pulses as well as wavelength compression. In this paper we consider an application of these properties of LSCA for generation of attosecond x-ray pulses. It is shown that a compact and cheap addition to the soft x-ray free electron laser facility FLASH would allow to generate 60 attosecond (FWHM) long x-ray pulses with the peak power at 100 MW level and a contrast above 98%.

In a companion article (Part 1), we presented the development of a thick continuum-based (CB) shell finite element (FE) based on Mindlin-Reissner theory. We verified the accuracy, efficiency and locking insensitivity of the element in modeling large 3D deformations, using linear elastic material properties. In the present article, we developed and implemented the kinetics description, within the updated Lagrangian (UL) formulation, of anisotropic incompressible hyperelastic constitutive relations that enable the CB shell FE to accurately model very large 3D strains and deformations. Specifically, we developed the measures of deformation in the lamina coordinate system, presented three techniques to model nonlinear hyperelastic strains, and enabled the direct enforcement of incompressibility and of the zero normal stress condition without using a penalty factor or a Lagrange multiplier. Moving towards the application of the present work to the biomedical realm, we performed multiple experiments concerning mechanical behavior of rubber-like materials and soft biological tissues in different geometries and loading conditions. Excellent agreements between the present FE results and the analytical and/or experimental data proved the CB shell FE combined with the present constitutive techniques to be a highly reliable and efficient tool for modeling, analyzing, and predicting mechanical behavior of soft biological tissues.

Consider Jacobi random matrix ensembles with the distributions $$c_{k_1,k_2,k_3}\prod_{1\leq i< j \leq N}\left(x_j-x_i\right)^{k_3}\prod_{i=1}^N \left(1-x_i\right)^{\frac{k_1+k_2}{2}-\frac{1}{2}}\left(1+x_i\right)^{\frac{k_2}{2}-\frac{1}{2}} dx$$ of the eigenvalues on the alcoves $$A:=\{x\in\mathbb R^N| \> -1\leq x_1\le ...\le x_N\leq 1\}.$$ For $(k_1,k_2,k_3)=\kappa\cdot (a,b,1)$ with $a,b>0$ fixed, we derive a central limit theorem for the distributions above for $\kappa\to\infty$. The drift and the inverse of the limit covariance matrix are expressed in terms of the zeros of classical Jacobi polynomials. We also rewrite the CLT in trigonometric form and determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the limit covariance matrices. These results are related to corresponding limits for $\beta$-Hermite and $\beta$-Laguerre ensembles for $\beta\to\infty$ by Dumitriu and Edelman and by Voit.

We study spherically symmetric, stationary vacuum configurations in general covariant theory (U(1) extension) of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity with the projectability condition and an arbitrary coupling constant $\lambda$, and obtain all the solutions in closed forms. If the gauge field $A$ and the Newtonian prepotential $\varphi$ do not directly couple to matter fields, the theory is inconsistent with solar system tests for $\lambda\not=1$, no matter how small $|\lambda-1|$ is. This is shown to be true also with the most general ansatz of spherical (but not necessarily stationary) configurations. Therefore, to be consistent with observations, one needs either to find a mechanism to restrict $\lambda$ precisely to $\lambda_{GR}=1$, or to consider $A$ and/or $\varphi$ as parts of the 4-dimensional metric on which matter fields propagate. In the latter, requiring that the line element be invariant not only under the foliation-preserving diffeomorphism but also under the local U(1) transformations, we propose the replacements, $N \rightarrow N - \upsilon(A - {\cal{A}})/c^2$ and $N^i \rightarrow N^i+N\nabla^{i}\varphi$, where $\upsilon$ is a dimensionless coupling constant to be constrained by observations, $N$ and $N^i$ are, respectively, the lapse function and shift vector, and ${\cal{A}} \equiv - \dot{\varphi} + N^i\nabla_{i}\varphi + N(\nabla_{i}\varphi)^2/2$. With this prescription, we show explicitly that the aforementioned solutions are consistent with solar system tests for both $\lambda=1$ and $\lambda\not=1$, provided that $|\upsilon-1|<10^{-5}$. From this result, the physical and geometrical interpretations of the fields $A$ and $\varphi$ become clear. However, it still remains to be understood how to obtain such a prescription from the action principle.

Non-Gaussianity in the inflationary perturbations can couple observable scales to modes of much longer wavelength (even superhorizon), leaving as a signature a large-angle modulation of the observed cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum. This provides an alternative origin for a power asymmetry which is otherwise often ascribed to a breaking of statistical isotropy. The non-Gaussian modulation effect can be significant even for typical ~10^{-5} perturbations, while respecting current constraints on non-Gaussianity, if the squeezed limit of the bispectrum is sufficiently infrared divergent. Just such a strongly infrared-divergent bispectrum has been claimed for inflation models with a non-Bunch-Davies initial state, for instance. Upper limits on the observed CMB power asymmetry place stringent constraints on the duration of inflation in such models.

Polarization measurements of the gamma-ray component of transient sources are of great scientific interest, they are however, also highly challenging. This is due to the typical low signal to noise and the potential for significant systematic errors. Both issues are made worse by the transient nature of the events which prompt one to observe a large portion of the sky. The POLAR instrument was designed as a dedicated transient gamma-ray polarimeter. It made use of a large effective area and large field of view to maximize the signal to noise as well as the number of observed transients. Additionally, it was calibrated carefully on ground and in orbit to mitigate systematic errors. The main scientific goal of POLAR was to measure the polarization of the prompt emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts. During the 6 months operation in orbit POLAR observed 55 Gamma-Ray Bursts of which 14 were bright enough to allow for constraining polarization measurements. In this chapter we mainly discuss about the POLAR instrument along with the calibration and analysis procedures. Two analyses are described, the first is a straightforward method previously implemented in polarization measurements, whilst the second was developed to improve the sensitivity and to mitigate several of the issues with the former. Both methods are described in detail along with information on how these can be extended to perform time and energy resolved polarization measurements.

The experimental hadronic density of states dN/dm, assumed to be a sum of normalized Breit- Wigner distributions and plotted as a function of the hadron mass m, fails to show a Hagedorn like growth beyond 2 GeV, probably due to a lack of data. Experimental hadronic states are fitted using $\ka$ -deformed Poincar\'e algebra and the fit is used to extrapolate for including states not detected. For the theoretical density of states the plot is a straight line in the log scale even beyond 2 GeV with a limiting temperature of 400 MeV.

This chapter proposes and provides an in-depth discussion of a scalable solution for running ensemble simulation for solar energy production. Generating a forecast ensemble is computationally expensive. But with the help of Analog Ensemble, forecast ensembles can be generated with a single deterministic run of a weather forecast model. Weather ensembles are then used to simulate 11 10 KW photovoltaic solar power systems to study the simulation uncertainty under a wide range of panel configuration and weather conditions. This computational workflow has been deployed onto the NCAR supercomputer, Cheyenne, with more than 7,000 cores. Results show that, spring and summer are typically associated with a larger simulation uncertainty. Optimizing the panel configuration based on their individual performance under changing weather conditions can improve the simulation accuracy by more than 12%. This work also shows how panel configuration can be optimized based on geographic locations.

Background: The computationally intensive task of real-time rendering can be offloaded to remote cloud systems. However, due to network latency, interactive remote rendering (IRR) introduces the challenge of interaction latency (IL), which is the time between an action and response to that action. Objectives: to model sources of latency, measure it in a real-world network and to use this understanding to simulate latency so that we have a controlled platform for experimental work in latency management. Method: we present a seven-parameter model of latency for a typical IRR system; we describe new, minimally intrusive software methods for measuring latency in a 3D graphics environment and create a novel latency simulator tool in software. Results: We demonstrate our latency simulator is comparable to real-world behavior and confirm that real-world latency exceeds the interactive limit of 70ms over long distance connections. We also find that current approaches to measuring IL are not general enough for most situations and therefore propose a novel general-purpose solution. Conclusion: to ameliorate latency in IRR systems we need controllable simulation tools for experimentation. In addition to a new measurement technique, we propose a new approach that will be of interest to IRR researchers and developers when designing IL compensation techniques.

Obscuration of the innermost parts of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is observed in the majority of the population both in the nearby universe and at high redshift. However, the nature of the structures causing obscuration, especially in low-luminosity AGN, is poorly understood at present. We present a novel approach to multi-epoch broadband X-ray spectroscopy, anchored in the long-term average spectrum in the hard X-ray band, applied to the nearby, X-ray bright AGN in the galaxy NGC 1052. From spectral features due to X-ray reprocessing in the circumnuclear material, based on a simple, uniform-density torus X-ray reprocessing model, we find a covering factor of 80-100% and a globally averaged column density in the range (1-2) x 10^23 cm^-2. This closely matches the independently measured variable line-of-sight column density range, leading to a straightforward and self-consistent picture of the obscuring torus in NGC 1052, similar to several other AGN in recent literature. Comparing this X-ray-constrained torus model with measurements of spatially resolved sub-parsec absorption from radio observations, we find that it may be possible to account for both X-ray and radio data with a torus model featuring a steep density gradient along the axis of the relativistic jets. This provides a valuable direction for the development of improved physical models for the circumnuclear environment in NGC 1052 and potentially in a wider class of AGN.

We compute the moduli metrics of worldvolume 0-brane solitons of D-branes and the worldvolume self-dual string solitons of the M-5-brane and examine their geometry. We find that the moduli spaces of 0-brane solitons of D-4-branes and D-8-branes are hyper-K\"ahler manifolds with torsion and octonionic K\"ahler manifolds with torsion, respectively. The moduli space of the self-dual string soliton of the M-5-brane is also a hyper-K\"ahler manifold with torsion.

We consider a 3D quantum system of $N$ identical bosons in a trapping potential $|x|^p$, with $p\geq0$, interacting via a Newton potential with an attractive interaction strength $a_{N}$. For a fixed large $N$ and the coupling constant $a_{N}$ smaller than a critical value $a_{*}$ (Chandrasekhar limit mass), in an appropriate sense, the many-body system admits a ground state. We investigate the blow-up behavior of the ground state energy as well as the ground states when $a_{N}$ approaches $a_{*}$ sufficiently slowly in the limit $N\to\infty$. The blow-up profile is given by the Gagliardo-Nirenberg solutions.

The observations of all three COBE instruments are examined for the effects of dark matter. The anisotropy measured by the DMR, and especially the degree-scale ground- and balloon-based experiments, is only compatible with large-scale structure formation by gravity if the Universe is dominated by non-baryonic dark matter. The FIRAS instrument measures the total power radiated by cold dust, and thus places tight limits on the absorption of starlight by very cold gas and dust in the outer Milky Way. The DIRBE instrument measures the infrared background, and will place tight limits on the emission by low mass stars in the Galactic halo.
