High-energy gamma-ray emission from supernova remnants (SNRs) has provided a unique perspective for studies of Galactic cosmic-ray acceleration. Tycho's SNR is a particularly good target because it is a young, type Ia SNR that is well-studied over a wide range of energies and located in a relatively clean environment. Since the detection of gamma-ray emission from Tycho's SNR by VERITAS and Fermi-LAT, there have been several theoretical models proposed to explain its broadband emission and high-energy morphology. We report on an update to the gamma-ray measurements of Tycho's SNR with 147 hours of VERITAS and 84 months of Fermi-LAT observations, which represents about a factor of two increase in exposure over previously published data. About half of the VERITAS data benefited from a camera upgrade, which has made it possible to extend the TeV measurements toward lower energies. The TeV spectral index measured by VERITAS is consistent with previous results, but the expanded energy range softens a straight power-law fit. At energies higher than 400 GeV, the power-law index is $2.92 \pm 0.42_{\mathrm{stat}} \pm 0.20_{\mathrm{sys}}$. It is also softer than the spectral index in the GeV energy range, $2.14 \pm 0.09_{\mathrm{stat}} \pm 0.02_{\mathrm{sys}}$, measured by this study using Fermi--LAT data. The centroid position of the gamma-ray emission is coincident with the center of the remnant, as well as with the centroid measurement of Fermi--LAT above 1 GeV. The results are consistent with an SNR shell origin of the emission, as many models assume. The updated spectrum points to a lower maximum particle energy than has been suggested previously.

The scattering of electrons by heat-flux-driven whistler waves is explored with a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation relevant to the transport of energetic electrons in flares. The simulation is initiated with a large heat flux that is produced using a kappa distribution of electrons with positive velocity and a cold return current beam. This system represents energetic electrons escaping from a reconnection-driven energy release site. This heat flux system drives large amplitude oblique whistler waves propagating both along and against the heat flux, as well as electron acoustic waves. While the waves are dominantly driven by the low energy electrons, including the cold return current beam, the energetic electrons resonate with and are scattered by the whistlers on time scales of the order of a hundred electron cyclotron times. Peak whistler amplitudes of $\tilde{B} / B_{0} \sim 0.125$ and angles of $\sim 60 \degree$ with respect to the background magnetic field are observed. Electron perpendicular energy is increased while the field-aligned electron heat flux is suppressed. The resulting scattering mean-free-paths of energetic electrons are small compared with the typical scale size of energy release sites in flares, which might lead to the effective confinement of energetic electrons that is required for the production of very energetic particles.

We study the *homotopy theory* of $\infty$-categories enriched in the $\infty$-category $sS$ of simplicial spaces. That is, we consider $sS$-enriched $\infty$-categories as presentations of ordinary $\infty$-categories by means of a "local" geometric realization functor $Cat_{sS} \to Cat_\infty$, and we prove that their homotopy theory presents the $\infty$-category of $\infty$-categories, i.e. that this functor induces an equivalence $Cat_{sS} [[ W_{DK}^{-1} ]] \xrightarrow{\sim} Cat_\infty$ from a localization of the $\infty$-category of $sS$-enriched $\infty$-categories. Following Dwyer--Kan, we define a *hammock localization* functor from relative $\infty$-categories to $sS$-enriched $\infty$-categories, thus providing a rich source of examples of $sS$-enriched $\infty$-categories. Simultaneously unpacking and generalizing one of their key results, we prove that given a relative $\infty$-category admitting a *homotopical three-arrow calculus*, one can explicitly describe the hom-spaces in the $\infty$-category presented by its hammock localization in a much more explicit and accessible way. As an application of this framework, we give sufficient conditions for the Rezk nerve of a relative $\infty$-category to be a (complete) Segal space, generalizing joint work with Low.

A method for mapping known cylindrical magnetovac solutions to solutions in torus coordinates is developed. Identification of the cylinder ends changes topology from R1 x S1 to S1 x S1. An analytic Einstein-Maxwell solution for a toroidal magnetic field in tori is presented. The toroidal interior is matched to an asymptotically flat vacuum exterior, connected by an Israel boundary layer.

We present the first measurements of the survival time of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) in solid deuterium SD2. This critical parameter provides a fundamental limitation to the effectiveness of superthermal UCN sources that utilize solid ortho-deuterium as the source material. Superthermal UCN sources offer orders of magnitude improvement in the available densities of UCNs, and are of great importance to fundamental particle-physics experiments such as searches for a static electric dipole moment and lifetime measurements of the free neutron. These measurements are performed utilizing a SD2 source coupled to a spallation source of neutrons, providing a demonstration of UCN production in this geometry and permitting systematic studies of the influence of thermal up-scatter and contamination with para-deuterium on the UCN survival time.

Over the last few years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) were successfully adopted in numerous domains to solve various image-related tasks, ranging from simple classification to fine borders annotation. Tracking seismic horizons is no different, and there are a lot of papers proposing the usage of such models to avoid time-consuming hand-picking. Unfortunately, most of them are (i) either trained on synthetic data, which can't fully represent the complexity of subterranean structures, (ii) trained and tested on the same cube, or (iii) lack reproducibility and precise descriptions of the model-building process. With all that in mind, the main contribution of this paper is an open-sourced research of applying binary segmentation approach to the task of horizon detection on multiple real seismic cubes with a focus on inter-cube generalization of the predictive model.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a finite-dimensional subspace of $C(\mathcal{X};\mathbb{R})$, where $\mathcal{X}$ is a locally compact Hausdorff space, and $\mathsf{A}=\{f_1,\dots,f_m\}$ a basis of $\mathcal{A}$. A sequence $s=(s_j)_{j=1}^m$ is called a moment sequence if $s_j=\int f_j(x) \, d\mu(x)$, $j=1,\dots,m$, for some positive Radon measure $\mu$ on $\mathcal{X}$. Each moment sequence $s$ has a finitely atomic representing measure $\mu$. The smallest possible number of atoms is called the Carath\'eodory number $\mathcal{C}_{\mathsf{A}}(s)$. The largest number $\mathcal{C}_{\mathsf{A}}(s)$ among all moment sequences $s$ is the Carath\'eodory number $\mathcal{C}_{\mathsf{A}}$. In this paper the Carath\'eodory numbers $\mathcal{C}_{\mathsf{A}}(s)$ and $\mathcal{C}_{\mathsf{A}}$ are studied. In the case of differentiable functions methods from differential geometry are used. The main emphasis is on real polynomials. For a large class of spaces of polynomials in one variable the number $\mathcal{C}_{\mathsf{A}}$ is determined. In the multivariate case we obtain some lower bounds and we use results on zeros of positive polynomials to derive upper bounds for the Carath\'eodory numbers.

From 1994 to 1997 we monitored the optical spectrum of RXJ0019.8+2156. This supersoft X-ray source is one of only two accreting white dwarfs in the Galaxy thought to be burning hydrogen on their surface as a consequence of a high rate of mass transfer from a binary companion. Accurate orbital ephemerides are derived from radial velocity measure- ments of HeII emission lines, which exhibit a stable velocity semi- amplitude of 71.2 +- 3.6 km/s. We report the discovery of transient, low-velocity, bipolar jets. These jets are respresented by redshifted and blueshifted pairs of emission lines with an outflow velocity of v cos(i) = 815 km/s, where i is the binary inclination angle. When present, the jet lines also exhibit an orbital modulation of 71 km/s, which indicates that the jets are oriented nearly perpendicular to the orbital plane. On most occasions, the Hline profiles are further altered by P Cygni absorption. We show that the jets and the P Cygni features have very different temporal characteristics and binary phase dependence. The jet material and the absorbing wind must therefore occupy very different geometries. Finally, the measured mass function is combined with binary evolution models to suggest a limit, i < 40 deg. A particular model invoked to explain a high rate of mass transfer requires 16 < i < 25. However, at such small inclination it is difficult to explain the large amplitude of the orbital light curve. By contrast, a simple model fit to the jet outflow lines indicates an orbital inclination angle of 35 < i < 60.

Recent ab intio studies of the magnetic properties of all 3d transition metal(TM) freestanding atomic chains predicted that these nanowires could have a giant magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) and might support a spin-spiral structure, thereby suggesting that these nanowires would have technological applicationsin, e.g., high density magnetic data storages. In order to investigate how the substrates may affect the magnetic properties of the nanowires, here we systematically study the V, Cr and Mn linear atomic chains on the Cu(001) surface based on the density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation. We find that V, Cr, and Mn linear chains on the Cu(001) surface still have a stable or metastable ferromagnetic state. However, the ferromagnetic state is unstable against formation of a noncollinear spin-spiral structure in the Mn linear chains and also the V linear chain on the atop sites on the Cu(001) surface, due to the frustrated magnetic interactions in these systems. Nonetheless, the presence of the Cu(001) substrate does destabilize the spin-spiral state already present in the freestanding V linear chain and stabilizes the ferromagnetic state in the V linear chain on the hollow sites on Cu(001). When spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is included, the spin magnetic moments remain almost unchanged, due to the weakness of SOC in 3d TM chains. Furthermore, both the orbital magnetic moments and MAEs for the V, Cr and Mn are small, in comparison with both the corresponding freestanding nanowires and also the Fe, Co and Ni linear chains on the Cu (001) surface.

We classify all connected, simple, 3-regular graphs with girth at least 5 that are Ricci-flat. We use the definition of Ricci curvature on graphs given in Lin-Lu-Yau, Tohoku Math., 2011, which is a variation of Ollivier, J. Funct. Anal., 2009. A graph is Ricci-flat, if it has vanishing Ricci curvature on all edges. We show, that the only Ricci-flat cubic graphs with girth at least 5 are the Petersen graph, the Triplex and the dodecahedral graph. This will correct the classification in Lin-Lu-Yau, Comm. Anal. Geom., 2014, that misses the Triplex.

The study of warm molecular gas in the inner regions of protoplanetary disks is of key importance for the study of planet formation and especially for the transport of H2O and organic molecules to the surfaces of rocky planets/satellites. Recent Spitzer observations have shown that the mid-infrared spectra of protoplanetary disks are covered in emission lines due to water and other molecules. Here, we present a non-LTE 2D radiative transfer model of water lines in the 10-36 mum range that can be used to constrain the abundance structure of water vapor, given an observed spectrum, and show that an assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) does not accurately estimate the physical conditions of the water vapor emission zones. By applying the model to published Spitzer spectra we find that: 1) most water lines are subthermally excited, 2) the gas-to-dust ratio must be one to two orders of magnitude higher than the canonical interstellar medium ratio of 100-200, and 3) the gas temperature must be higher than the dust temperature, and 4) the water vapor abundance in the disk surface must be truncated beyond ~ 1 AU. A low efficiency of water formation below ~ 300 K may naturally result in a lower water abundance beyond a certain radius. However, we find that chemistry, may not be sufficient to produce an abundance drop of many orders of magnitude and speculate that the depletion may also be caused by vertical turbulent diffusion of water vapor from the superheated surface to regions below the snow line, where the water can freeze out and be transported to the midplane as part of the general dust settling. Such a vertical cold finger effect is likely to be efficient due to the lack of a replenishment mechanism of large, water-ice coated dust grains to the disk surface.

Despite the impressive success of quantum structures to model long-standing human judgement and decision puzzles, the {\it quantum cognition research programme} still faces challenges about its explanatory power. Indeed, quantum models introduce new parameters, which may fit empirical data without necessarily explaining them. Also, one wonders whether more general non-classical structures are better equipped to model cognitive phenomena. In this paper, we provide a {\it realistic-operational foundation of decision processes} using a known decision-making puzzle, the {\it Ellsberg paradox}, as a case study. Then, we elaborate a novel representation of the Ellsberg decision situation applying standard quantum correspondence rules which map realistic-operational entities into quantum mathematical terms. This result opens the way towards an independent, foundational rather than phenomenological, motivation for a general use of quantum Hilbert space structures in human cognition.

We present Chandra ACIS-I X-ray observations of 0FGL J1311.9-3419 and 0FGL J1653.4-0200, the two brightest high Galactic latitude (|b|>10 deg) gamma-ray sources from the 3 month Fermi-LAT bright source list that are still unidentified. Both were also detected previously by EGRET, and despite dedicated multi-wavelength follow-up, they are still not associated with established classes of gamma-ray emitters like pulsars or radio-loud active galactic nuclei. X-ray sources found in the ACIS-I fields of view are catalogued, and their basic properties are determined. These are discussed as candidate counterparts to 0FGL J1311.9-3419 and 0FGL J1653.4-0200, with particular emphasis on the brightest of the 9 and 13 Chandra sources detected within their respective Fermi-LAT 95% confidence regions. Further follow-up studies, including optical photometric and spectroscopic observations are necessary to identify these X-ray candidate counterparts in order to ultimately reveal the nature of these enigmatic gamma-ray objects.

We study the evolution of quantum entanglement in double cavity systems. The entanglement of cavity atoms induced by entangled pair of photons is investigated. Both entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth phenomena are shown to be existed and analyzed in detail. We also propose a strategy to enhance the entanglement between the atom in one cavity and the photon in another cavity by using quantum Zeno effect.

It has long been recognized that the key to unlocking the mystery of cuprate high-Tc superconductivity lies in understanding the anomalous normal state from which pairs form and condense. While many of its defining properties have been identified, they are often considered either at a singular doping level or as an isolated phenomenon as a function of doping. As a result, their relation to each other and to the pseudogap (PG), strange metal (SM) and non-superconducting (non-SC) regimes that define the cuprate phase diagram has yet to be elucidated. Here, we report a high-field in-plane MR study on several cuprate families spanning all 3 regimes that reveal a complex yet nonetheless systematic evolution of the form of the MR, with each regime possessing its own distinct scaling behavior. In the PG regime, the MR exhibits pure H/T^2 scaling at low fields and H-linearity at the highest field strengths. While the H-linearity persists inside the SM regime, the scaling changes abruptly to H/T. The size of the H-linear slope, meanwhile, is found to be correlated with both the T-linear resistivity coefficient and Tc, strengthening the characterization of the SM regime as a quantum critical phase. We interpret the omnipresence of H-linear MR across both regimes as a signature of highly anisotropic, possibly discontinuous features on the Fermi surface. Finally, within the non-SC, Fermi-liquid regime, we observe a recovery of conventional Kohler scaling. This comprehensive study establishes the distinct nature of the magnetotransport within each regime and identifies power-law scaling of the normal state MR as a defining feature of SC hole-doped cuprates. The incompatibility of such power-law scaling with any known variant of Boltzmann transport theory motivates the quest for an altogether new theoretical framework, one in which the MR is entirely decoupled from elastic impurity scattering.

In the early epoch of galaxy evolution, dust is only supplied by supernovae (SNe). With the aid of a new physical model of dust production by SNe developed by Nozawa et al. (2003) (N03), we constructed a model of dust emission from forming galaxies on the basis of the theoretical framework of Takeuchi et al. (2003) (T03). N03 showed that the produced dust species depends strongly on the mixing within SNe. We treated both unmixed and mixed cases and calculated the infrared (IR) spectral energy distribution (SED) of forming galaxies for both cases. Our model SED is less luminous than the SED of T03 model by a factor of 2-3. The difference is due to our improved treatment of UV photon absorption cross section, as well as different grain size and species newly adopted in this work. The SED for the unmixed case is found to have an enhanced near to mid-IR (N-MIR) continuum radiation in its early phase of the evolution (age < 10^{7.25} yr) compared with that for the mixed case. The strong N--MIR continuum is due to the emission from Si grains, which only exist in the species of the unmixed dust production. We also calculated the IR extinction curves for forming galaxies. Then we calculated the SED of a local starbursting dwarf galaxy SBS 0335-052. Our present model SED naturally reproduced the strong N--MIR continuum and the lack of cold FIR emission of SBS 0335-052. We found that only the SED of unmixed case can reproduce the NIR continuum of this galaxy. We then made a prediction for the SED of another typical star-forming dwarf, I Zw 18. We also presented the evolution of the SED of LBGs. Finally, we discussed the possibility of observing forming galaxies at z > 5.

A half-life of 2.2 $\pm$ 0.2 s has been deduced for the ground-state $\beta$ decay of $^{84}$Mo, more than 1$\sigma$ shorter than the previously adopted value. $^{84}$Mo is an even-even N = Z nucleus lying on the proton dripline, created during explosive hydrogen burning in Type I X-ray bursts in the rapid proton capture ($rp$) process. The effect of the measured half-life on $rp$-process reaction flow is explored. Implications on theoretical treatments of nuclear deformation in $^{84}$Mo are also discussed.

We study the unitarized meson-baryon scattering amplitude at leading order in the strangeness $S=-1$ sector using time-ordered perturbation theory for a manifestly Lorentz-invariant formulation of chiral effective field theory. By solving the coupled-channel integral equations with the full off-shell dependence of the effective potential and applying subtractive renormalization, we analyze the renormalized scattering amplitudes and obtain the two-pole structure of the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance. We also point out the necessity of including higher-order terms.

This paper presents an analysis of the correlation between the number of globular clusters (N_GC) in giant galaxies and the mass of the galaxies' central supermassive black hole (M_SMBH). I construct a sample of 20 elliptical, spiral, and S0 galaxies with known SMBH masses and with accurately-measured globular cluster system properties derived from wide-field imaging studies. The coefficients of the best-fitting N_GC-M_SMBH relation for the early-type galaxies are consistent with those from previous work but in some cases have smaller relative errors. I examine the correlation between N_GC and M_SMBH for various subsamples and find that elliptical galaxies show the strongest correlation while S0 and pseudobulge galaxies exhibit increased scatter. I also compare the quality of the fit of the numbers of metal-poor globular clusters versus SMBH mass and the corresponding fit for metal-rich globular clusters. I supplement the 20-galaxy sample with ten additional galaxies with reliable N_GC determinations but without measured M_SMBH. I use this larger sample to investigate correlations between N_GC and host galaxy properties like total galaxy luminosity and stellar mass and bulge luminosity and mass. I find that the tightest correlation is between N_GC and total galaxy stellar mass. This lends support to the notion that N_GC and M_SMBH are not directly linked but are correlated because both quantities depend on the host galaxy potential. Finally, I use the N_GC-M_SMBH relation derived from the 20-galaxy sample to calculate predicted M_SMBH values for the ten galaxies with accurate N_GC measurements but without measured SMBH masses.

In this paper nondegenerate multidimensional matrices of boundary format in $V_0 \otimes ... \otimes V_p$ are investigated by their link with Steiner vector bundles on product of projective spaces. For any nondegenerate matrix $A$ the stabilizer for the $SL(V_0)\times ... \times SL(V_p)$-action, $Stab(A)$, is completely described. In particular we prove that there exists an explicit action of SL(2) on $V_0 \otimes ... \otimes V_p$ such that $Stab(A)^0\subseteq SL(2)$ and the equality holds if and only if $A$ belongs to a unique $SL(V_0)\times >... \times SL(V_p)$-orbit containing the identity matrices.

An $n \times n$ matrix with $\pm 1$ entries which acts on $\mathbb{R}^n$ as a scaled isometry is called Hadamard. Such matrices exist in some, but not all dimensions. Combining number-theoretic and probabilistic tools we construct matrices with $\pm 1$ entries which act as approximate scaled isometries in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for all $n$. More precisely, the matrices we construct have condition numbers bounded by a constant independent of $n$. Using this construction, we establish a phase transition for the probability that a random frame contains a Riesz basis. Namely, we show that a random frame in $\mathbb{R}^n$ formed by $N$ vectors with independent identically distributed coordinates having a non-degenerate symmetric distribution contains many Riesz bases with high probability provided that $N \ge \exp(Cn)$. On the other hand, we prove that if the entries are subgaussian, then a random frame fails to contain a Riesz basis with probability close to $1$ whenever $N \le \exp(cn)$, where $c<C$ are constants depending on the distribution of the entries.

Metallic K3C60 shows pronounced structure and a sharp Fermi edge in integrated photoemission spectra (PES) while the insulating K4C60 and K6C60 phases display only a broad structureless peak. We find that both types of spectra can be explained by the coupling to the optic vibrations of the K+/C60n- ionic lattice. This is suppressed in K3C60 due to metallic screening but is strong in the insulating phases. We use the non-crossing approximation to calculate the density of states (DOS) of electrons in K3C60 coupled to the intramolecular Hg modes in good agreement with the experiment. For K4C60 and K6C60 strong coupling to the low energy optic K+/C60n- modes controls the DOS and yields broad peaks in the PES. A moment expansion is used to calculate the position and width of these peaks which agree well with the experiment.

We consider unitary transformations on a bipartite system A x B. To what extent entails the ability to transmit information from A to B the ability to transfer information in the converse direction? We prove a dimension-dependent lower bound on the classical channel capacity C(A<--B) in terms of the capacity C(A-->B) for the case that the bipartite unitary operation consists of controlled local unitaries on B conditioned on basis states on A. This can be interpreted as a statement on the strength of the inevitable backaction of a quantum system on its controller. If the local operations are given by the regular representation of a finite group G we have C(A-->B)=log |G| and C(A<--B)=log N where N is the sum over the degrees of all inequivalent representations. Hence the information deficit C(A-->B)-C(A<--B) between the forward and the backward capacity depends on the "non-abelianness" of the control group. For regular representations, the ratio between backward and forward capacities cannot be smaller than 1/2. The symmetric group S_n reaches this bound asymptotically. However, for the general case (without group structure) all bounds must depend on the dimensions since it is known that the ratio can tend to zero.

The coarse Ricci curvature of graphs introduced by Ollivier as well as its modification by Lin-Lu-Yau have been studied from various aspects. In this paper, we propose a new transport distance appropriate for hypergraphs and study a generalization of Lin-Lu-Yau type curvature of hypergraphs. As an application, we derive a Bonnet-Myers type estimate for hypergraphs under a lower Ricci curvature bound associated with our transport distance. We remark that our transport distance is new even for graphs and worthy of further study.

We give an explicit formula for the membrane potential of cells in terms of the intracellular and extracellular ionic concentrations, and derive equations for the ionic currents that flow through channels, exchangers and electrogenic pumps. We demonstrate that the work done by the pumps equals the change in potential energy of the cell, plus the energy lost in downhill ionic fluxes through the channels and exchangers. The theory is illustrated in a simple model of spontaneously active cells in the cardiac pacemaker. The model predicts the experimentally observed intracellular ionic concentration of potassium, calcium, and sodium. Likewise the shapes of the simulated action potential and five membrane currents are in good agreement with experiments. We do not see any drift in the values of the concentrations in a long time simulation, and we obtain the same asymptotic values when starting from the full equilibrium situation with equal intracellular and extracellular ionic concentrations.

We present a refined treatment of H, He I, and He II recombination in the early Universe. The difference from previous calculations is that we use multi-level atoms and evolve the population of each level with redshift by including all bound-bound and bound-free transitions. In this framework we follow several hundred atomic energy levels for H, He I, and He II combined. The main improvements of this method over previous recombination calculations are: (1) allowing excited atomic level populations to depart from an equilibrium distribution; (2) replacing the total recombination coefficient with recombination to and photoionization from each level directly at each redshift step; and (3) correct treatment of the He I atom, including the triplet and singlet states. We find that the ionization fraction x_e = n_e/n_H is approximately 10% smaller at redshifts <~800 than in previous calculations, due to the non-equilibrium of the excited states of H, which is caused by the strong but cool radiation field at those redshifts. In addition we find that He I recombination is delayed compared with previous calculations, and occurs only just before H recombination. These changes in turn can affect the predicted power spectrum of microwave anisotropies at the few percent level. Other improvements such as including molecular and ionic species of H, including complete heating and cooling terms for the evolution of the matter temperature, including collisional rates, and including feedback of the secondary spectral distortions on the radiation field, produce negligible change to x_e. The lower x_e at low z found in this work affects the abundances of H molecular and ionic species by 10-25%. However this difference is probably not larger than other uncertainties in the reaction rates.

PassBio: Privacy-Preserving User-Centric Biometric Authentication

The proliferation of online biometric authentication has necessitated security requirements of biometric templates. The existing secure biometric authentication schemes feature a server-centric model, where a service provider maintains a biometric database and is fully responsible for the security of the templates. The end-users have to fully trust the server in storing, processing and managing their private templates. As a result, the end-users' templates could be compromised by outside attackers or even the service provider itself. In this paper, we propose a user-centric biometric authentication scheme (PassBio) that enables end-users to encrypt their own templates with our proposed light-weighted encryption scheme. During authentication, all the templates remain encrypted such that the server will never see them directly. However, the server is able to determine whether the distance of two encrypted templates is within a pre-defined threshold. Our security analysis shows that no critical information of the templates can be revealed under both passive and active attacks. PassBio follows a "compute-then-compare" computational model over encrypted data. More specifically, our proposed Threshold Predicate Encryption (TPE) scheme can encrypt two vectors x and y in such a manner that the inner product of x and y can be evaluated and compared to a pre-defined threshold. TPE guarantees that only the comparison result is revealed and no key information about x and y can be learned. Furthermore, we show that TPE can be utilized as a flexible building block to evaluate different distance metrics such as Hamming distance and Euclidean distance over encrypted data. Such a compute-then-compare computational model, enabled by TPE, can be widely applied in many interesting applications such as searching over encrypted data while ensuring data security and privacy.

Extending work of Pichorides and Zygmund to the $d$-dimensional setting, we show that the supremum of $L^p$-norms of the Littlewood-Paley square function over the unit ball of the analytic Hardy spaces $H^p_A(\mathbb{T}^d)$ blows up like $(p-1)^{-d}$ as $p\to 1^+$. Furthermore, we obtain an $L\log^d L$-estimate for square functions on $H^1_A(\mathbb{T}^d)$. Euclidean variants of Pichorides's theorem are also obtained.

Within a two-band $k\cdot p$ method we analyze different types of strain for the $K$ valley optical characteristics of a freestanding monolayer MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$, WS$_2$ and WSe$_2$. We predict that circular polarization selectivity for energies above the direct transition onset deteriorates/improves by tensile/compressive strain. Wide range of available strained-sample photoluminescence data can be reasonably reproduced by this simple bandstructure combined with accounting for excitons at a variational level. According to this model strain impacts optoelectronic properties through its hydrostatic component, whereas the shear strain only causes a rigid wavevector shift of the valley. Furthermore, under the stress loading of flexible substrates the presence of Poisson's effect or the lack of it are examined individually for the reported measurements.

We propose an approach to semantic (image) segmentation that reduces the computational costs by a factor of 25 with limited impact on the quality of results. Semantic segmentation has a number of practical applications, and for most such applications the computational costs are critical. The method follows a typical two-column network structure, where one column accepts an input image, while the other accepts a half-resolution version of that image. By identifying specific regions in the full-resolution image that can be safely ignored, as well as carefully tailoring the network structure, we can process approximately 15 highresolution Cityscapes images (1024x2048) per second using a single GTX 980 video card, while achieving a mean intersection-over-union score of 72.9% on the Cityscapes test set.

We provide a semi-analytic comparison between the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) and the magnetic reconnection power for accreting black holes in the curved spacetime of a rotating black hole. Our main result is that for a realistic range of astrophysical parameters, the reconnection power may compete with the BZ power. The field lines anchored close to or on the black hole usually evolve to open field lines in general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations. The BZ power is dependent on the black hole spin while magnetic reconnection power is independent of it for the force-free magnetic configuration with open field lines adopted in our theoretical study. This has obvious consequences for the time evolution of such systems particularly in the context of black hole X-ray binary state transitions. Our results provide analytical justification of the results obtained in GRMHD simulations.

Detecting HeliumII reionization from a sudden injection of entropy in the intergalactic medium

The temperature of the low-density intergalactic medium is set by the balance between adiabatic cooling resulting from the expansion of the universe, and photo-heating by the UV-background. A sudden injection of entropy from the reionization will increase the temperature of the gas, leading to a broadening of the hydrogen Lyman-alpha absorption lines produced in the IGM, and observed in the spectra of background quasars. We present a method based on wavelets to characterise objectively the line widths of such absorption lines. We use high resolution hydrodynamical simulations to demonstrate that the algorithm can detect changes in temperature of order of 50 per cent on scales > 5000 km/s. We apply the method to a UVES/VLT spectrum of quasar 0055--269 (emission redshift=3.7) and detect at the 99 per cent confidence level a sudden increase in temperature below redshift z=3.3, which we interpret as evidence for HeliumII reionization.

What to Fix? Distinguishing between design and non-design rules in automated tools

Technical debt---design shortcuts taken to optimize for delivery speed---is a critical part of long-term software costs. Consequently, automatically detecting technical debt is a high priority for software practitioners. Software quality tool vendors have responded to this need by positioning their tools to detect and manage technical debt. While these tools bundle a number of rules, it is hard for users to understand which rules identify design issues, as opposed to syntactic quality. This is important, since previous studies have revealed the most significant technical debt is related to design issues. Other research has focused on comparing these tools on open source projects, but these comparisons have not looked at whether the rules were relevant to design. We conducted an empirical study using a structured categorization approach, and manually classify 466 software quality rules from three industry tools---CAST, SonarQube, and NDepend. We found that most of these rules were easily labeled as either not design (55%) or design (19%). The remainder (26%) resulted in disagreements among the labelers. Our results are a first step in formalizing a definition of a design rule, in order to support automatic detection.

A reformulation of the Barrabes-Israel null-shell formalism

We consider a situation in which two metrics are joined at a null hypersurface. It often occurs that the union of the two metrics gives rise to a Ricci tensor that contains a term proportional to a Dirac delta-function supported on the hypersurface. This singularity is associated with a thin distribution of matter on the hypersurface, and following Barrabes and Israel, we seek to determine its stress-energy tensor in terms of the geometric properties of the null hypersurface. While our treatment here does not deviate strongly from their previous work, it offers a simplification of the computational operations involved in a typical application of the formalism, and it gives rise to a stress-energy tensor that possesses a more recognizable phenomenology. Our reformulation of the null-shell formalism makes systematic use of the null generators of the singular hypersurface, which define a preferred flow to which the flow of matter can be compared. This construction provides the stress-energy tensor with a simple characterization in terms of a mass density, a mass current, and an isotropic pressure. Our reformulation also involves a family of freely-moving observers that intersect the surface layer and perform measurements on it. This construction gives operational meaning to the stress-energy tensor by fixing the argument of the delta-function to be proper time as measured by these observers.

We discuss a new narrow-gap ferromagnetic (FM) semiconductor alloy, In(1-x)Mn(x)Sb, and its growth by low-temperature molecular-beam epitaxy. The magnetic properties were investigated by direct magnetization measurements, electrical transport, magnetic circular dichroism, and the magneto-optical Kerr effect. These data clearly indicate that In(1-x)Mn(x)Sb possesses all the attributes of a system with carrier-mediated FM interactions, including well-defined hysteresis loops, a cusp in the temperature dependence of the resistivity, strong negative magnetoresistance, and a large anomalous Hall effect. The Curie temperatures in samples investigated thus far range up to 8.5 K, which are consistent with a mean-field-theory simulation of the carrier-induced ferromagnetism based on the 8-band effective band-orbital method.

$\pi^+\pi^-$ transitions of heavy quarkonia, especially the $ \Upsilon(3S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^-$ decay process, are revisited. In the framework of the Chiral Unitary Theory (ChUT), the $S$ wave $\pi\pi$ final state interaction (FSI) is included. It is found that when an additional intermediate state with $J^P=1^+$ and I=1 is introduced, not only the $ \pi\pi$ invariant mass spectrum and the $cos\theta_\pi^*$ distribution in the $\Upsilon(3S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^-$ process can simultaneously be well-explained, but also a consistent description for other bottomonia $ \pi^+\pi^-$ transitions can be obtained. As a consequence, the mass and the width of the intermediate state are predicted. From the quark content analysis, this state should be a $b\bar bq\bar q$ state.

Let $T$ be a real tensor of (real) rank $r$. $T$ is 'identifiable' when it has a unique decomposition in terms of rank $1$ tensors. There are cases in which the identifiability fails over the complex field, for general tensors of rank $r$. This behavior is quite peculiar when the rank $r$ is submaximal. Often, the failure is due to the existence of an elliptic normal curve through general points of the corresponding Segre, Veronese or Grassmann variety. We prove the existence of nonempty euclidean open subsets of some variety of tensors of rank $r$, whose elements have several decompositions over $\mathbb C$, but only one of them is formed by real summands. Thus, in the open sets, tensors are not identifiable over $\mathbb C$, but are identifiable over $\mathbb R$. We also provide examples of non trivial euclidean open subsets in a whole space of symmetric tensors (of degree $7$ and $8$ in three variables) and of almost unbalanced tensors Segre Product ($\mathbb P^2\times \mathbb P^4\times \mathbb P^9$) whose elements have typical real rank equal to the complex rank, and are identifiable over $\mathbb R$, but not over $\mathbb C$. On the contrary, we provide examples of tensors of given real rank, for which real identifiability cannot hold in non-trivial open subsets.

Although large neural language models (LMs) like BERT can be finetuned to yield state-of-the-art results on many NLP tasks, it is often unclear what these models actually learn. Here we study using such LMs to fill in entities in human-authored comparative questions, like ``Which country is older, India or ______?'' -- i.e., we study the ability of neural LMs to ask (not answer) reasonable questions. We show that accuracy in this fill-in-the-blank task is well-correlated with human judgements of whether a question is reasonable, and that these models can be trained to achieve nearly human-level performance in completing comparative questions in three different subdomains. However, analysis shows that what they learn fails to model any sort of broad notion of which entities are semantically comparable or similar -- instead the trained models are very domain-specific, and performance is highly correlated with co-occurrences between specific entities observed in the training set. This is true both for models that are pretrained on general text corpora, as well as models trained on a large corpus of comparison questions. Our study thus reinforces recent results on the difficulty of making claims about a deep model's world knowledge or linguistic competence based on performance on specific benchmark problems. We make our evaluation datasets publicly available to foster future research on complex understanding and reasoning in such models at standards of human interaction.

Coupling regular topologies with optimized routing algorithms is key in pushing the performance of interconnection networks of HPC systems. In this paper we present Dmodc, a fast deterministic routing algorithm for Parallel Generalized Fat-Trees (PGFTs) which minimizes congestion risk even under massive topology degradation caused by equipment failure. It applies a modulo-based computation of forwarding tables among switches closer to the destination, using only knowledge of subtrees for pre-modulo division. Dmodc allows complete rerouting of topologies with tens of thousands of nodes in less than a second, which greatly helps centralized fabric management react to faults with high-quality routing tables and no impact to running applications in current and future very large-scale HPC clusters. We compare Dmodc against routing algorithms available in the InfiniBand control software (OpenSM) first for routing execution time to show feasibility at scale, and then for congestion risk under degradation to demonstrate robustness. The latter comparison is done using static analysis of routing tables under random permutation (RP), shift permutation (SP) and all-to-all (A2A) traffic patterns. Results for Dmodc show A2A and RP congestion risks similar under heavy degradation as the most stable algorithms compared, and near-optimal SP congestion risk up to 1% of random degradation.

We present observations of CO J=2-1 line emission in infrared-luminous cluster galaxies at z~1 using the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer. Our two primary targets are optically faint, dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs) found to lie within 2 Mpc of the centers of two massive (>10^14 Msun) galaxy clusters. CO line emission is not detected in either DOG. We calculate 3-sigma upper limits to the CO J=2-1 line luminosities, L'_CO < 6.08x10^9 and < 6.63x10^9 K km/s pc^2. Assuming a CO-to-H_2 conversion factor derived for ultraluminous infrared galaxies in the local Universe, this translates to limits on the cold molecular gas mass of M_H_2 < 4.86x10^9 Msun and M_H_2 < 5.30x10^9 Msun. Both DOGs exhibit mid-infrared continuum emission that follows a power-law, suggesting that an AGN contributes to the dust heating. As such, estimates of the star formation efficiencies in these DOGs are uncertain. A third cluster member with an infrared luminosity, L_IR < 7.4x10^11 Lsun, is serendipitously detected in CO J=2-1 line emission in the field of one of the DOGs located roughly two virial radii away from the cluster center. The optical spectrum of this object suggests that it is likely an obscured AGN, and the measured CO line luminosity is L'_CO = (1.94 +/- 0.35)x10^10 K km/s pc^2, which leads to an estimated cold molecular gas mass M_H_2 = (1.55+/-0.28)x10^10 Msun. A significant reservoir of molecular gas in a z~1 galaxy located away from the cluster center demonstrates that the fuel can exist to drive an increase in star-formation and AGN activity at the outskirts of high-redshift clusters.

The Kerr-Schild form provides a natural way of realizing the classical double copy that relates exact solutions in general relativity to exact solutions in gauge theory. In this paper, we examine the asymptotic structure of Kerr-Schild form. In Newman-Unti gauge, we find a generic solution space satisfying the Kerr-Schild form in series expansion around null infinity. The news function in the solution space is chiral and can not lead to a mass loss formula. A class of asymptotically flat complex pp-wave solutions in closed form is obtained from the solution space.

We investigate nonequilibrium underdamped Langevin dynamics of Brownian particles that interact through a harmonic potential with coupling constant $K$ and are in thermal contact with two heat baths at different temperatures. The system is characterized by a net heat flow and an entropy production in the steady state. We compare the entropy production of the harmonic system with that of Brownian particles linked with a rigid rod. The harmonic system may be expected to reduce to the rigid rod system in the infinite $K$ limit. However, we find that the harmonic system in the $K\to\infty$ limit produces more entropy than the rigid rod system. The harmonic system has the center of mass coordinate as a slow variable and the relative coordinate as a fast variable. By identifying the contributions of the degrees of freedom to the total entropy production, we show that the hidden entropy production by the fast variable is responsible for the extra entropy production. We discuss the $K$ dependence of each contribution.

The timing of radio pulsars in binary systems provides a superb testing ground of general relativity. Here we propose a Bayesian approach to carry out these tests, and a relevant efficient numerical implementation, that has several conceptual and practical advantages with respect to traditional methods based on least-square-fits that have been used so far: (i) it accounts for the actual structure of the likelihood function - and it is not predicated on the Laplace approximation which is implicitly built in least-square fits that can potentially bias the inference - (ii) it provides the ratio of the evidences of any two models under consideration as the statistical quantity to compare different theories, and (iii) it allows us to put joint constraints from the monitoring of multiple systems, that can be expressed in terms of ratio of evidences or probability intervals of global (thus not system-dependent) parameters of the theory, if any exists. Our proposed approach optimally exploits the progress in timing of radio pulsars and the increase in the number of observed systems. We demonstrate the power of this framework using simulated data sets that are representative of current observations.

Graph-Regularized Tensor Regression: A Domain-Aware Framework for Interpretable Multi-Way Financial Modelling

Analytics of financial data is inherently a Big Data paradigm, as such data are collected over many assets, asset classes, countries, and time periods. This represents a challenge for modern machine learning models, as the number of model parameters needed to process such data grows exponentially with the data dimensions; an effect known as the Curse-of-Dimensionality. Recently, Tensor Decomposition (TD) techniques have shown promising results in reducing the computational costs associated with large-dimensional financial models while achieving comparable performance. However, tensor models are often unable to incorporate the underlying economic domain knowledge. To this end, we develop a novel Graph-Regularized Tensor Regression (GRTR) framework, whereby knowledge about cross-asset relations is incorporated into the model in the form of a graph Laplacian matrix. This is then used as a regularization tool to promote an economically meaningful structure within the model parameters. By virtue of tensor algebra, the proposed framework is shown to be fully interpretable, both coefficient-wise and dimension-wise. The GRTR model is validated in a multi-way financial forecasting setting and compared against competing models, and is shown to achieve improved performance at reduced computational costs. Detailed visualizations are provided to help the reader gain an intuitive understanding of the employed tensor operations.

Fractal-like nanopatterned DNA thin films have been fabricated on mica substrate by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. Structures and components of DNA nanopatterns were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effect of surface pressure on the transferred DNA composite films has been studied. Scanning force microscopic observations revealed that the surface structure and morphology of DNA nanopatterns can be well controlled by changing the surface pressure. The growth mechanism of the fractal-like nanopatterns is discussed in terms of the diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) model. The formation of large-scale DNA networks provided a well-defined template for the construction of nanocomposite films. Patterns of silver metal were prepared on DNA networks by subsequent metallization process.

Implications of the Superkamiokande result on the nature of new physics

It is remarked that the SuperKamiokande (SK) discovery of $\nu_\mu$ to $\nu_\tau$ (or $\nu_X$)-oscillation, with a $\delta m^2 \approx 10^{-2}-10^{-3} eV^2$ and $sin^2 2 \theta > 0.8$, provides a clear need for the right-handed (RH) neutrinos. This in turn reinforces the ideas of the left-right symmetric gauge structure $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ as well as SU(4)-color, for which the RH neutrinos are a compelling feature. It is noted that by assuming (a) that B-L and $I_{3R}$, contained in a string-derived $G(224) = SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times SU(4)^c$ or SO(10), break near the GUT-scale, as opposed to an intermediate scale, (b) the see-saw mechanism, and (c) the SU(4)-color relation between the Dirac mass of the tau neutrino and $m_{top}$, one obtains a mass for $\nu^\tau_L$ which is just about what is observed. This is assuming that the SK group is actually seeing $\nu^\mu_L - \nu^\tau_L$ (rather than $\nu_L^\mu - \nu_X$) oscillation. Following a very recent work by Babu, Wilczek and myself, it is furthermore noted that one can quite plausibly obtain a large $\nu_L^\mu-\nu_L^\tau$ oscillation angle, as observed, in spite of highly non-degenerate masses of the light neutrinos: e.g. with $m(\nu_L^\mu)/m(\nu_L^\tau)\approx 1/10-1/20$. Such non-degeneracy is of course natural to see-saw. In this case, $\nu^e_L - \nu^\mu_L$ oscillation can be relevant to the small angle MSW explanation of the solar neutrino puzzle. Implications of the mass of $\nu^\tau_L$ suggested by the SK result, on proton decay are noted. Comments are made at the end on how the SuperKamiokande result supplements the LEP result in selecting out the route to higher unification.

The glacial cycles are attributed to the climatic response of the orbital changes in the irradiance to the Earth. These changes in the forcing are to small to explain the observed climate variations as simple linear responses. Non-linear amplifications are necessary to account for the glacial cycles. Here an empirical model of the non-linear response is presented. From the model it is possible to assess the role of stochastic noise in comparison to the deterministic orbital forcing of the ice ages. The model is based on the bifurcation structure derived from the climate history. It indicates the dynamical origin of the Mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT) from the '41 kyr world' to the '100 kyr world'. The dominant forcing in the latter is still the 41 kyr obliquity cycle, but the bifurcation structure of the climate system is changed. The model indicates that transitions between glacial and interglacial climate are assisted by internal stochastic noise in the period prior to the last five glacial cycles, while the last five cycles are deterministic responses to the orbital forcing.

We scrutinize the recently further strengthened hints for new physics in semileptonic $B$-meson decays, focusing on the 'clean' ratios of branching fractions $R_K$ and $R_{K^\ast}$ and examining to which pattern of new effects they point to. We explore in particular the hardly considered, yet fully viable, option of new physics in the right-handed electron sector and demonstrate how a recently proposed framework of leptons in composite Higgs setups naturally solves both the $R_K$ and $R_{K^\ast}$ anomalies via a peculiar structure of new physics effects, predicted by minimality of the model and the scale of neutrino masses. Finally, we also take into account further observables, such as ${\cal B}(B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-)$, $\Delta M_{B_s}$, and angular observables in $B \to K^{\ast} \mu^+ \mu^-$ decays, to arrive at a comprehensive picture of the model concerning (semileptonic) $B$ decays. We conclude that -- since it is in good agreement with the experimental situation in flavor physics and also allows to avoid ultra-light top partners -- the model furnishes a very promising scenarios of Higgs compositeness in the light of LHC data.

The incoherent regime of Multiple Andreev Reflections (MAR) is studied in long diffusive SNS junctions at applied voltages larger than the Thouless energy. Incoherent MAR is treated as a transport problem in energy space by means of a circuit theory for an equivalent electrical network. The current through NS interfaces is explained in terms of diffusion flows of electrons and holes through tunnel and Andreev resistors. These resistors in diffusive junctions play roles analogous to the normal and Andreev reflection coefficients in OTBK theory for ballistic junctions. The theory is applied to the subharmonic gap structure (SGS); simple analytical results are obtained for the distribution function and current spectral density for the limiting cases of resistive and transparent NS interfaces. In the general case, the exact solution is found in terms of chain-fractions, and the current is calculated numerically. SGS shows qualitatively different behavior for even and odd subharmonic numbers, and the maximum slopes of the differential resistance correspond to the gap subharmonics. The influence of inelastic scattering on the subgap anomalies of the differential resistance is analyzed.

We present deep spectrophotometry of 18 HII regions in the nearby massive spiral galaxies M101 and M31. We have obtained direct determinations of electron temperature in all the nebulae. We detect the CII 4267 line in several HII regions, permitting to derive the radial gradient of C/H in both galaxies. We also determine the radial gradients of O/H, N/O, Ne/O, S/O, Cl/O and Ar/O ratios. As in other spiral galaxies, the C/H gradients are steeper than those of O/H producing negative slopes of the C/O gradient. The scatter of the abundances of O with respect to the gradient fittings do not support the presence of significant chemical inhomogeneities across the discs of the galaxies, especially in the case of M101. We find trends in the S/O, Cl/O and Ar/O ratios as a function of O/H in M101 that can be reduced using Te indicators different from the standard ones for calculating some ionic abundances. The distribution of the N/O ratio with respect to O/H is rather flat in M31, similarly to previous findings for the MilkyWay. Using the disc effective radius, Re, as a normalization parameter for comparing gradients, we find that the latest estimates of Re for the Milky Way provide an excess of metallicity in apparent contradiction with the mass-metallicity relation; a value about two times larger might solve the problem. Finally, using different abundance ratios diagrams we find that the enrichment timescales of C and N result to be fairly similar despite their different nucleosynthetic origin.

We study infinite-horizon asymptotic average optimality for parallel server network with multiple classes of jobs and multiple server pools in the Halfin-Whitt regime. Three control formulations are considered: 1) minimizing the queueing and idleness cost, 2) minimizing the queueing cost under a constraints on idleness at each server pool, and 3) fairly allocating the idle servers among different server pools. For the third problem, we consider a class of bounded-queue, bounded-state (BQBS) stable networks, in which any moment of the state is bounded by that of the queue only (for both the limiting diffusion and diffusion-scaled state processes). We show that the optimal values for the diffusion-scaled state processes converge to the corresponding values of the ergodic control problems for the limiting diffusion. We present a family of state-dependent Markov balanced saturation policies (BSPs) that stabilize the controlled diffusion-scaled state processes. It is shown that under these policies, the diffusion-scaled state process is exponentially ergodic, provided that at least one class of jobs has a positive abandonment rate. We also establish useful moment bounds, and study the ergodic properties of the diffusion-scaled state processes, which play a crucial role in proving the asymptotic optimality.

We introduce a new method to generate and tune the optical orbital angular momentum of a focused Gaussian beam passing through the optical superlattice under the electro-optic effect. The orbital angular momentum (OAM) arises from the curl of polarization in our calculation. We see that adjusting the external electric field, the beam waist radius and the crystal length provides dramatic variation of OAM of light across the transverse section. It is believed that this invention will find its application in optical manipulation area.

Background: The equations of state (EoSs) which determine the properties of neutron stars (NSs) are often characterized by the iso-scalar and iso-vector nuclear matter parameters (NMPs). Recent attempts to relate the radius and tidal deformability of a NS to the individual NMPs have been inconclusive. These properties display strong correlations with the pressure of NS matter which depends on several NMPs. The knowledge of minimal NMPs that determine the NS properties will be necessary to address any connection between NS properties (e.g., tidal deformability) and that of finite nuclei. Purpose: To identify the important NMPs required to describe the tidal deformability of neutron star for astrophysically relevant range of their gravitational masses (1.2 -- 1.8 M$_\odot$) as encountered in the binary neutron star merger events. Method: We construct a large set of EoSs using four iso-scalar and five iso-vector NMPs. These EOSs are employed to perform a systematic analysis to isolate the NMPs that predominantly determine the tidal deformability, over a wide range of NS mass. The tidal deformability is then directly mapped to these NMPs. Results: The tidal deformability of the NS with mass 1.2-1.8 M$_\odot$ can be determined within 10$\%$ directly in terms of four nuclear matter parameters, namely, the incompressibility $K_0$ and skewness $Q_0$ of symmetric nuclear matter, and the slope $L_0$ and curvature parameter $K_{\rm sym,0}$ of symmetry energy. Conclusion: A function that quickly estimates the value of tidal deformability in terms of minimal nuclear matter parameters is developed. Our method can also be extended to other NS observables.

The statistics of Poincar\'e recurrence times in Hamiltonian systems typically shows a power-law decay with chaotic trajectories sticking to some phase-space regions for long times. For higher-dimensional systems the mechanism of this power-law trapping is still unknown. We investigate trapped orbits of a generic 4D symplectic map in phase space and frequency space and find that, in contrast to 2D maps, the trapping is (i) not due to a hierarchy in phase space. Instead, it occurs at the surface of the regular region, (ii) outside of the Arnold web. The chaotic dynamics in this sticky region is (iii) dominated by resonance channels which reach far into the chaotic region: We observe (iii.a) clear signatures of some kind of partial transport barriers and conjecture (iii.b) a stochastic process with an effective drift along resonance channels. These two processes lay the basis for a future understanding of the mechanism of power-law trapping in higher-dimensional systems.

We introduce AREPO-RT, a novel radiation hydrodynamic (RHD) solver for the unstructured moving-mesh code AREPO. Our method solves the moment-based radiative transfer equations using the M1 closure relation. We achieve second order convergence by using a slope limited linear spatial extrapolation and a first order time prediction step to obtain the values of the primitive variables on both sides of the cell interface. A Harten-Lax-Van Leer flux function, suitably modified for moving meshes, is then used to solve the Riemann problem at the interface. The implementation is fully conservative and compatible with the individual timestepping scheme of AREPO. It incorporates atomic Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He) thermochemistry, which is used to couple the ultra-violet (UV) radiation field to the gas. Additionally, infrared radiation is coupled to the gas under the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium between the gas and the dust. We successfully apply our code to a large number of test problems, including applications such as the expansion of ${\rm H_{II}}$ regions, radiation pressure driven outflows and the levitation of optically thick layer of gas by trapped IR radiation. The new implementation is suitable for studying various important astrophysical phenomena, such as the effect of radiative feedback in driving galactic scale outflows, radiation driven dusty winds in high redshift quasars, or simulating the reionisation history of the Universe in a self consistent manner.

We express all correlation functions in timelike boundary Liouville theory as unitary matrix integrals and develop efficient techniques to evaluate these integrals. We compute large classes of correlation functions explicitly, including an infinite number of terms in the boundary state of the rolling tachyon. The matrix integrals arising here also determine the correlation functions of gauge invariant operators in two dimensional Yang-Mills theory, suggesting an equivalence between the rolling tachyon and QCD_2.

In the monograph Renormalization and Effective Field Theory, Costello made two major advances towards the mathematical formulation of quantum field theory. Firstly, he developed an inductive position space renormalization procedure for constructing effective field theories that is based on heat kernel regularization of the propagator. Secondly, he gave a rigorous formulation of quantum gauge theory within effective field theory that makes use of the BV formalism. In this work, we extend Costello's inductive renormalization procedure from manifolds without boundary to a class of manifolds with boundary. In addition, we reorganize the presentation of the preexisting material, filling in details and strengthening the results.

Coverage is one of the main quality of service of a wirelessnetwork. $k$-coverage, that is to be covered simultaneously by $k$network nodes, is synonym of reliability and numerous applicationssuch as multiple site MIMO features, or handovers. We introduce here anew algorithm for computing the $k$-coverage of a wirelessnetwork. Our method is based on the observation that $k$-coverage canbe interpreted as $k$ layers of $1$-coverage, or simply coverage. Weuse simplicial homology to compute the network's topology and areduction algorithm to indentify the layers of $1$-coverage. Weprovide figures and simulation results to illustrate our algorithm.

We present high resolution ALMA observations of the CO(3-2) and 350 GHz continuum emissions of the debris disc of 49 Ceti, known to be particularly rich in molecular gas in spite of its age. The main new results are: i) both CO and dust discs share a same position angle and a same inclination but the gas disc is more homogeneous, more central and thinner than the dust disc; ii) evidence is obtained for a significant deficit of observed CO(3-2) emission at Doppler velocities differing from the star systemic velocity by less than 1 \kms; iii) gas velocities are accurately measured and found Keplerian over a broad range of disc radii; iv) the observed CO(3-2) line width is dominated by Keplerian shear and upper limits are obtained to the intrinsic line width. Simple phenomenological models of both CO(3-2) and \mbox{350 GHz} continuum emissions are presented, requiring the use of only very few parameters. The results are discussed in the frame of currently favoured models.

This paper is a first step toward understanding the effect of toroidal geometry on the rigorous stability theory of plasmas. We consider a collisionless plasma inside a torus, modeled by the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system. The surface of the torus is perfectly conducting and it reflects the particles specularly. We provide sharp criteria for the stability of equilibria under the assumption that the particle distributions and the electromagnetic fields depend only on the cross-sectional variables of the torus.

In this chapter, we present an approach using formal methods to synthesize reactive defense strategy in a cyber network, equipped with a set of decoy systems. We first generalize formal graphical security models--attack graphs--to incorporate defender's countermeasures in a game-theoretic model, called an attack-defend game on graph. This game captures the dynamic interactions between the defender and the attacker and their defense/attack objectives in formal logic. Then, we introduce a class of hypergames to model asymmetric information created by decoys in the attacker-defender interactions. Given qualitative security specifications in formal logic, we show that the solution concepts from hypergames and reactive synthesis in formal methods can be extended to synthesize effective dynamic defense strategy using cyber deception. The strategy takes the advantages of the misperception of the attacker to ensure security specification is satisfied, which may not be satisfiable when the information is symmetric.

We prove that its upper $(n-2)$-dimensional Minkowski content, and consequently, its $(n-2)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure are locally finite. We also show that the singular set is countably $(n-2)$-rectifiable, namely it can be covered by countably many $C^1$-manifolds of dimension $(n-2)$, up to a set of $(n-2)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure zero. Our results hold for optimal partitions on Riemannian manifolds and harmonic maps into homogeneous trees as well.

Mental stress is a largely prevalent condition known to affect many people and could be a serious health concern. The quality of human life can be significantly improved if mental health is properly managed. Towards this, we propose a robust method for perceived stress classification, which is based on using multimodal data, acquired from forty subjects, including three (electroencephalography (EEG), galvanic skin response (GSR), and photoplethysmography (PPG)) physiological modalities. The data is acquired for three minutes duration in an open eyes condition. A perceived stress scale (PSS) questionnaire is used to record the stress of participants, which is then used to assign stress labels (two- and three classes). Time (four from GSR and PPG signals) and frequency (four from EEG signal) domain features are extracted. Among EEG based features, using a frequency band selection algorithm for selecting the optimum EEG frequency subband, the theta band was selected. Further, a wrapper-based method is used for optimal feature selection. Human stress level classification is performed using three different classifiers, which are fed with a fusion of the selected set of features from three modalities. A significant accuracy (95% for two classes, and 77.5% for three classes) was achieved using the multilayer perceptron classifier.

Deterministic and Energy-Optimal Wireless Synchronization

We consider the problem of clock synchronization in a wireless setting where processors must power-down their radios in order to save energy. Energy efficiency is a central goal in wireless networks, especially if energy resources are severely limited. In the current setting, the problem is to synchronize clocks of $m$ processors that wake up in arbitrary time points, such that the maximum difference between wake up times is bounded by a positive integer $n$, where time intervals are appropriately discretized. Currently, the best-known results for synchronization for single-hop networks of $m$ processors is a randomized algorithm due to \cite{BKO09} of O(\sqrt {n /m} \cdot poly-log(n)) awake times per processor and a lower bound of Omega(\sqrt{n/m}) of the number of awake times needed per processor \cite{BKO09}. The main open question left in their work is to close the poly-log gap between the upper and the lower bound and to de-randomize their probabilistic construction and eliminate error probability. This is exactly what we do in this paper. That is, we show a {deterministic} algorithm with radio use of Theta(\sqrt {n /m}) that never fails. We stress that our upper bound exactly matches the lower bound proven in \cite{BKO09}, up to a small multiplicative constant. Therefore, our algorithm is {optimal} in terms of energy efficiency and completely resolves a long sequence of works in this area. In order to achieve these results we devise a novel {adaptive} technique that determines the times when devices power their radios on and off. In addition, we prove several lower bounds on the energy efficiency of algorithms for {multi-hop networks}. Specifically, we show that any algorithm for multi-hop networks must have radio use of Omega(\sqrt n) per processor.

http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
We consider spectral discretizations of hyperbolic problems on unbounded domains using Laguerre basis functions. Taking as model problem the scalar advection equation, we perform a comprehensive stability analysis that includes strong collocation formulations, nodal and modal weak formulations, with either inflow or outflow boundary conditions, using either Gauss - Laguerre or Gauss - Laguerre - Radau quadrature nodes and based on either scaled Laguerre functions or scaled Laguerre polynomials. We show that some of these combinations give rise to intrinsically unstable schemes, while the combination of scaled Laguerre functions with Gauss - Laguerre - Radau nodes appears to be stable for both strong and weak formulations. We then show how a modal discretization approach for hyperbolic systems on an unbounded domain can be naturally and seamlessly coupled to a discontinuous finite element discretization on a finite domain. Examples of one dimensional hyperbolic systems are solved with the proposed domain decomposition technique. The errors obtained with the proposed approach are found to be small, enabling the use of the coupled scheme for the simulation of Rayleigh damping layers in the semi-infinite part. Energy errors and reflection ratios of the scheme in absorbing wavetrains and single Gaussian signals show that a small number of nodes in the semi-infinite domain are sufficient to damp the waves. The theoretical insight and numerical results corroborate previous findings by the authors and establish the scaled Laguerre functions-based discretization as a flexible and efficient tool for absorbing layers as well as for the accurate simulation of waves in unbounded regions.

GAN Prior Embedded Network for Blind Face Restoration in the Wild

cs.CV
http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
Blind face restoration (BFR) from severely degraded face images in the wild is a very challenging problem. Due to the high illness of the problem and the complex unknown degradation, directly training a deep neural network (DNN) usually cannot lead to acceptable results. Existing generative adversarial network (GAN) based methods can produce better results but tend to generate over-smoothed restorations. In this work, we propose a new method by first learning a GAN for high-quality face image generation and embedding it into a U-shaped DNN as a prior decoder, then fine-tuning the GAN prior embedded DNN with a set of synthesized low-quality face images. The GAN blocks are designed to ensure that the latent code and noise input to the GAN can be respectively generated from the deep and shallow features of the DNN, controlling the global face structure, local face details and background of the reconstructed image. The proposed GAN prior embedded network (GPEN) is easy-to-implement, and it can generate visually photo-realistic results. Our experiments demonstrated that the proposed GPEN achieves significantly superior results to state-of-the-art BFR methods both quantitatively and qualitatively, especially for the restoration of severely degraded face images in the wild. The source code and models can be found at https://github.com/yangxy/GPEN.

We propose a new method to compute nonlinear transport coefficients in holography, such as nonlinear DC conductivity and nonlinear friction coefficient. The conventional method can be applied only to the models whose action in the gravity dual has the ``square-root structure,'' i.e., the Dirac-Born-Infeld action of the probe D-branes or the Nambu-Goto action of the probe strings. Our method is applicable to a wider range of holographic models whose action does not have such a square-root structure. Our method is based on the requirement of regularity, and we propose a condition for regularity in the form of two simultaneous equations, which we call the patchwork condition. Our method also enables us to estimate the effective temperature of the nonequilibrium steady states in a wider range of holographic models. We show that a general model exhibits different effective temperatures for different fluctuation modes.

Continuous testing during development is a well-established technique for software-quality assurance. Continuous model checking from revision to revision is not yet established as a standard practice, because the enormous resource consumption makes its application impractical. Model checkers compute a large number of verification facts that are necessary for verifying if a given specification holds. We have identified a category of such intermediate results that are easy to store and efficient to reuse: abstraction precisions. The precision of an abstract domain specifies the level of abstraction that the analysis works on. Precisions are thus a precious result of the verification effort and it is a waste of resources to throw them away after each verification run. In particular, precisions are small and thus easy to store; they are easy to process and have a large impact on resource consumption. We experimentally show the impact of precision reuse on industrial verification problems, namely, 59 device drivers with 1119 revisions from the Linux kernel.

The mid-infrared properties of these two sources are similar to the well studied, extremely low metallicity galaxy SBS 0335-052E. We determine metallicities of 12 + log(O/H) = 7.75 and 7.63 for W0801+26 and W1702+18, respectively, placing them amongst a very small group of very metal deficient galaxies (Z < 1/10 Zsun). Their > 300 Angstrom Hbeta equivalent widths, similar to SBS 0335-052E, imply the existence of young (< 5 Myr) star forming regions. We measure star formation rates of 2.6 and 10.9 Msun/yr for W0801+26 and W1702+18, respectively. These BCDs, showing recent star formation activity in extremely low metallicity environments, provide new laboratories for studying star formation in extreme conditions and are low-redshift analogs of the first generation of galaxies to form in the universe. Using the all-sky WISE survey, we discuss a new method to identify similar star forming, low metallicity BCDs.

Ensemble approaches for deep-learning-based semantic segmentation remain insufficiently explored despite the proliferation of competitive benchmarks and downstream applications. In this work, we explore and benchmark the popular ensembling approach of combining predictions of multiple, independently-trained, state-of-the-art models at test time on popular datasets. Furthermore, we propose a novel method inspired by boosting to sequentially ensemble networks that significantly outperforms the naive ensemble baseline. Our approach trains a cascade of models conditioned on class probabilities predicted by the previous model as an additional input. A key benefit of this approach is that it allows for dynamic computation offloading, which helps deploy models on mobile devices. Our proposed novel ADaptive modulatiON (ADON) block allows spatial feature modulation at various layers using previous-stage probabilities. Our approach does not require sophisticated sample selection strategies during training and works with multiple neural architectures. We significantly improve over the naive ensemble baseline on challenging datasets such as Cityscapes, ADE-20K, COCO-Stuff, and PASCAL-Context and set a new state-of-the-art.

A referee found an error in the proof of the Main Theorem ("toric ideals of flow polytopes are generated in degree 3") that we could not fix. More precisely, the proof of Lemma 4.2.(ii) is incorrect. The results on Gr\"obner bases are untouched by this. ----- We show that toric ideals of flow polytopes are generated in degree 3. This was conjectured by Diaconis and Eriksson for the special case of the Birkhoff polytope. Our proof uses a hyperplane subdivision method developed by Haase and Paffenholz. It is known that reduced revlex Gr\"obner bases of the toric ideal of the Birkhoff polytope $B_n$ have at most degree $n$. We show that this bound is sharp for some revlex term orders. For $(m\times n)$-transportation polytopes, a similar result holds: they have Gr\"obner bases of at most degree $\lfloor mn/2\rfloor$. We construct a family of examples, where this bound is sharp.

Design Rule Violation Hotspot Prediction Based on Neural Network Ensembles

Design rule check is a critical step in the physical design of integrated circuits to ensure manufacturability. However, it can be done only after a time-consuming detailed routing procedure, which adds drastically to the time of design iterations. With advanced technology nodes, the outcomes of global routing and detailed routing become less correlated, which adds to the difficulty of predicting design rule violations from earlier stages. In this paper, a framework based on neural network ensembles is proposed to predict design rule violation hotspots using information from placement and global routing. A soft voting structure and a PCA-based subset selection scheme are developed on top of a baseline neural network from a recent work. Experimental results show that the proposed architecture achieves significant improvement in model performance compared to the baseline case. For half of test cases, the performance is even better than random forest, a commonly-used ensemble learning model.

The rates for generating a matter-antimatter asymmetry in extensions of the Standard Model (SM) containing right-handed neutrinos are the most interesting and least trivial coefficients in the rate equations for baryogenesis through thermal leptogenesis. We obtain a relation of these rates to finite-temperature real-time correlation functions, similar to the Kubo formulas for transport coefficients. Then we consider the case of hierarchical masses for the sterile neutrinos. At leading order in their Yukawa couplings we find a simple master formula which relates the rates to a single finite temperature three-point spectral function. It is valid to all orders in $g$,where $g$ denotes a SM gauge or quark Yukawa coupling. We use it to compute the rate for generating a matter-antimatter asymmetry at next-to-leading order in g in the non-relativistic regime. The corrections are of order $g ^ 2$, and they amount to 4% or less.

The hyperbolic encounters of two massive objects are characterized by the emission of a gravitational wave burst, with most of the energy released during the closest approach (near the periastron). The detection of such events, different from the well-known inspiral emission, would be an interesting discovery and provide complementary information to observations of binary mergers of black holes and neutron stars in the observable Universe, shedding light, for instance, on the clustering properties of black holes and providing valuable hints on their formation scenario. Here, we analyse the dynamics of such phenomena in the simplest case where two compact objects follow unbound/hyperbolic orbits. Moreover, we explore the effects of orbital precession on the gravitational wave emission, since the precession encodes certain general relativistic effects between two bodies. We also provide templates for the strain of gravitational waves and the power spectrum for the emission, and analytical expressions for the memory effect associated with such signals.

Consider a team of agents in the plane searching for and visiting target points that appear in a bounded environment according to a stochastic renewal process with a known absolutely continuous spatial distribution. Agents must detect targets with limited-range onboard sensors. It is desired to minimize the expected waiting time between the appearance of a target point, and the instant it is visited. When the sensing radius is small, the system time is dominated by time spent searching, and it is shown that the optimal policy requires the agents to search a region at a relative frequency proportional to the square root of its renewal rate. On the other hand, when targets appear frequently, the system time is dominated by time spent servicing known targets, and it is shown that the optimal policy requires the agents to service a region at a relative frequency proportional to the cube root of its renewal rate. Furthermore, the presented algorithms in this case recover the optimal performance achieved by agents with full information of the environment. Simulation results verify the theoretical performance of the algorithms.

The duty cycle was better than 80% during this period and almost 2*10**7 atmospheric muon triggers were collected. This large sample was used to test Monte Carlo simulation programs and to evaluate possible systematic effects due to uncertainties on environmental parameters and detector description.

Evolution of an overpopulated gas of magnons to a Bose-Einstein condensate and excitation of a magnon supercurrent, propelled by a phase gradient in the condensate wave function, can be observed at room-temperature by means of the Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy in an yttrium iron garnet material. We study these phenomena in a wide range of external magnetic fields in order to understand their properties when externally pumped magnons are transferred towards the condensed state via two distinct channels: A multistage Kolmogorov-Zakharov cascade of the weak-wave turbulence or a one-step kinetic-instability process. Our main result is that opening the kinetic instability channel leads to the formation of a much denser magnon condensate and to a stronger magnon supercurrent compared to the cascade mechanism alone.

We study in this paper the fractional Yamabe problem first considered by Gonzalez-Qing on the conformal infinity $(M^n , [h])$ of a Poincar\'e-Einstein manifold $(X^{n+1} , g^+ )$ with either $n = 2$ or $n \geq 3$ and $(M^n , [h])$ is locally flat - namely $(M, h)$ is locally conformally flat. However, as for the classical Yamabe problem, because of the involved quantization phenomena, the variational analysis of the fractional one exhibits also a local situation and a global one. Furthermore the latter global situation includes the case of conformal infinities of Poincar\'e-Einstein manifolds of dimension either 2 or of dimension greater than $2$ and which are locally flat, and hence the minimizing technique of Aubin- Schoen in that case clearly requires an analogue of the positive mass theorem of Schoen-Yau which is not known to hold. Using the algebraic topological argument of Bahri-Coron, we bypass the latter positive mass issue and show that any conformal infinity of a Poincar\'e-Einstein manifold of dimension either $n = 2$ or of dimension $n \geq 3$ and which is locally flat admits a Riemannian metric of constant fractional scalar curvature.

Over the past decade, Plug-and-Play (PnP) has become a popular method for reconstructing images using a modular framework consisting of a forward and prior model. The great strength of PnP is that an image denoiser can be used as a prior model while the forward model can be implemented using more traditional physics-based approaches. However, a limitation of PnP is that it reconstructs only a single deterministic image. In this paper, we introduce Generative Plug-and-Play (GPnP), a generalization of PnP to sample from the posterior distribution. As with PnP, GPnP has a modular framework using a physics-based forward model and an image denoising prior model. However, in GPnP these models are extended to become proximal generators, which sample from associated distributions. GPnP applies these proximal generators in alternation to produce samples from the posterior. We present experimental simulations using the well-known BM3D denoiser. Our results demonstrate that the GPnP method is robust, easy to implement, and produces intuitively reasonable samples from the posterior for sparse interpolation and tomographic reconstruction. Code to accompany this paper is available at https://github.com/gbuzzard/generative-pnp-allerton .

The quantum algorithms are supported by the efficient Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) and classical signal and imaging processing techniques, and open the door of quantum advantage to relevant families of data. We showcase a QFT interpolation method, a Quantum Cosine Transform (QCT) interpolation geared towards natural data, and we improve upon them by utilizing a quantum circuit's capabilities of processing data in superposition. A novel circuit for the QCT is presented. We demonstrate the methods on probability distributions and quantum encoded images, and discuss the precision of the resulting interpolations.

It is shown that, given any finite dimensional, split basic algebra $\Lambda = K\Gamma/I$ (where $\Gamma$ is a quiver and $I$ an admissible ideal in the path algebra $K \Gamma$), there is a finite list of affine algebraic varieties, the points of which correspond in a natural fashion to the isomorphism types of uniserial left $\Lambda$-modules, and the geometry of which faithfully reflects the constraints met in constructing such modules. A constructive coordinatized access to these varieties is given, as well as to the accompanying natural surjections from the varieties onto families of uniserial modules with fixed composition series. The fibres of these maps are explored, one of the results being a simple algorithm to resolve the isomorphism problem for uniserial modules. Moreover, new invariants measuring the complexity of the uniserial representation theory are derived from the geometric viewpoint. Finally, it is proved that each affine algebraic variety arises as a variety of uniserial modules over a suitable finite dimensional algebra, in a setting where the points are in one-one correspondence with the isomorphism classes of uniserial modules.

We propose solutions and test our ideas on a series of 2D navigation tasks. We show how our methods can leverage animal videos to improve performance over RL algorithms that do not leverage such observations.

CANDELS: Elevated Black Hole Growth in the Progenitors of Compact Quiescent Galaxies at z~2

We examine the fraction of massive ($M_{*}>10^{10} M_{\odot}$), compact star-forming galaxies (cSFGs) that host an active galactic nucleus (AGN) at $z\sim2$. These cSFGs are likely the direct progenitors of the compact quiescent galaxies observed at this epoch, which are the first population of passive galaxies to appear in large numbers in the early Universe. We identify cSFGs that host an AGN using a combination of Hubble WFC3 imaging and Chandra X-ray observations in four fields: the Chandra Deep Fields, the Extended Groth Strip, and the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey field. We find that $39.2^{+3.9}_{-3.6}$\% (65/166) of cSFGs at $1.4<z<3.0$ host an X-ray detected AGN. This fraction is 3.2 times higher than the incidence of AGN in extended star-forming galaxies with similar masses at these redshifts. This difference is significant at the $6.2\sigma$ level. Our results are consistent with models in which cSFGs are formed through a dissipative contraction that triggers a compact starburst and concurrent growth of the central black hole. We also discuss our findings in the context of cosmological galaxy evolution simulations that require feedback energy to rapidly quench cSFGs. We show that the AGN fraction peaks precisely where energy injection is needed to reproduce the decline in the number density of cSFGs with redshift. Our results suggest that the first abundant population of massive, quenched galaxies emerged directly following a phase of elevated supermassive black hole growth and further hints at a possible connection between AGN and the rapid quenching of star formation in these galaxies.

We study the quantum modular properties of $\hat{ Z}^G$-invariants of closed three-manifolds. Higher depth quantum modular forms are expected to play a central role for general three-manifolds and gauge groups $G$. In particular, we conjecture that for plumbed three-manifolds whose plumbing graphs have $n$ junction nodes with definite signature and for rank $r$ gauge group $G$, that $\hat{ Z}^G$ is related to a quantum modular form of depth $nr$. We prove this for $G=SU(3)$ and for an infinite class of three-manifolds (weakly negative Seifert with three exceptional fibers). We also investigate the relation between the quantum modularity of $\hat{ Z}^G$-invariants of the same three-manifold with different gauge group $G$. We conjecture a recursive relation among the iterated Eichler integrals relevant for $\hat{ Z}^G$ with $G=SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$, for negative Seifert manifolds with three exceptional fibers. This is reminiscent of the recursive structure among mock modular forms playing the role of Vafa-Witten invariants for $SU(N)$. We prove the conjecture when the three-manifold is moreover an integral homological sphere.

The proximity effect in normal/superconductor heterostructures is an intriguing phenomenon in that the normal side takes on the properties of a superconductor with an induced gap. However, the structural and pinning properties of vortices inside the normal regions remain poorly understood. Here, we report structure and superconducting properties of a proximity-coupled Mg/MgO/MgB2 system with ~30 vol. % of superconducting MgB2, in which MgB2 nanograins are distributed in a fractal manner to form a proximity network with clean interfaces. Conductivity and magnetic measurements demonstrate that this proximity-coupled system acts as a fully phase coherent superconductor with isotropic pinning. Magneto-optical imaging also reveals a rather homogeneous flux density distribution with no apparent granularity. Furthermore, we observe quantized proximity vortices and their clustering behavior by scanning superconducting quantum interface device microscopy. These results show that in contrast to the case of conventional granular superconductors, the grain boundaries in the present sample carry high critical currents and have high vortex pinning efficiency, resulting in a robust phase coherent state irrespective of the low volume fraction of the MgB2 nanograins. This finding not only reveals the features of proximity-induced vortices, but also demonstrates an excellent phase-locked capability of the proximity-coupled fractal system.

For a quasi-split Satake diagram, we define a modified $q$-Weyl algebra, and show that there is an algebra homomorphism between it and the corresponding $\imath$quantum group. In other words, we provide a differential operator approach to $\imath$quantum groups. Meanwhile, the Oscillator representations are obtained. The crystal basis of the irreducible subrepresentations of these Oscillator representations are constructed.
