The measurement and QCD analysis of neutral and charged current cross sections at HERA are presented. For the kinematic range of four-momentum transfer Q^2 between approx. 1 GeV^2 and 30000 GeV^2 and Bjorken x between 0.0013 and 0.65 the data are compared to NLO QCD predictions. In dedicated NLO QCD analyses the extraction of the parton distribution functions of the proton is performed. Results for the measurement of the strong coupling constant alpha_s are presented.

In an Achlioptas process, starting with a graph that has n vertices and no edge, in each round $d \geq 1$ edges are drawn uniformly at random, and using some rule exactly one of them is chosen and added to the evolving graph. For the class of Achlioptas processes we investigate how much impact the rule has on one of the most basic properties of a graph: connectivity. Our main results are twofold. First, we study the prominent class of bounded size rules, which select the edge to add according to the component sizes of its vertices, treating all sizes larger than some constant equally. For such rules we provide a fine analysis that exposes the limiting distribution of the number of rounds until the graph gets connected, and we give a detailed picture of the dynamics of the formation of the single component from smaller components. Second, our results allow us to study the connectivity transition of all Achlioptas processes, in the sense that we identify a process that accelerates it as much as possible.

With the continue development of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), there is a growing concern regarding representations that they encode internally. Analyzing these internal representations is referred to as model interpretation. While the task of model explanation, justifying the predictions of such models, has been studied extensively; the task of model interpretation has received less attention. The aim of this paper is to propose a framework for the study of interpretation methods designed for CNN models trained from visual data. More specifically, we first specify the difference between the interpretation and explanation tasks which are often considered the same in the literature. Then, we define a set of six specific factors that can be used to characterize interpretation methods. Third, based on the previous factors, we propose a framework for the positioning of interpretation methods. Our framework highlights that just a very small amount of the suggested factors, and combinations thereof, have been actually studied. Consequently, leaving significant areas unexplored. Following the proposed framework, we discuss existing interpretation methods and give some attention to the evaluation protocols followed to validate them. Finally, the paper highlights capabilities of the methods in producing feedback for enabling interpretation and proposes possible research problems arising from the framework.

Outdoor maps and navigation information delivered by modern services and technologies like Google Maps and Garmin navigators have revolutionized the lifestyle of many people. Motivated by the desire for similar navigation systems for indoor usage from consumers, advertisers, emergency rescuers/responders, etc., many indoor environments such as shopping malls, museums, casinos, airports, transit stations, offices, and schools need to be mapped. Typically, the environment is first reconstructed by capturing many point clouds from various stations and defining their spatial relationships. Currently, there is a lack of an accurate, rigorous, and speedy method for relating point clouds in indoor, urban, satellite-denied environments. This thesis presents a novel and automatic way for fusing calibrated point clouds obtained using a terrestrial laser scanner and the Microsoft Kinect by integrating them with a low-cost inertial measurement unit. The developed system, titled the Scannect, is the first joint static-kinematic indoor 3D mapper.

We present first results from the 3D-HST program, a near-IR spectroscopic survey performed with the Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope. We have used 3D-HST spectra to measure redshifts and Halpha equivalent widths for a stellar mass-limited sample of 34 galaxies at 1<z<1.5 with M(stellar)>10^11 M(sun) in the COSMOS, GOODS, and AEGIS fields. We find that a substantial fraction of massive galaxies at this epoch are forming stars at a high rate: the fraction of galaxies with Halpha equivalent widths >10 A is 59%, compared to 10% among SDSS galaxies of similar masses at z=0.1. Galaxies with weak Halpha emission show absorption lines typical of 2-4 Gyr old stellar populations. The structural parameters of the galaxies, derived from the associated WFC3 F140W imaging data, correlate with the presence of Halpha: quiescent galaxies are compact with high Sersic index and high inferred velocity dispersion, whereas star-forming galaxies are typically large two-armed spiral galaxies, with low Sersic index. Some of these star forming galaxies might be progenitors of the most massive S0 and Sa galaxies. Our results challenge the idea that galaxies at fixed mass form a homogeneous population with small scatter in their properties. Instead we find that massive galaxies form a highly diverse population at z>1, in marked contrast to the local Universe.

It has been shown recently that the introduction of an unphysical $\epsilon$-scalar mass $\tilde{m}$ is necessary for the proper renormalization of softly broken supersymmetric theories by dimensional reduction ($\drbar$). In these theories, both the two-loop $\beta$-functions of the scalar masses and their one-loop finite corrections depend on $\tilde{m}^2$. We find, however, that the dependence on $\tilde{m}^2$ can be completely removed by slightly modifying the \drbar renormalization scheme. We also show that previous \drbar calculations of one-loop corrections in supersymmetry which ignored the $\tilde{m}^2$ contribution correspond to using this modified scheme.

The two-component, core-crust, model of a neutron star with homogenous internal and dipolar external magnetic field is studied responding to quake-induced perturbation by substantially nodeless differentially rotational Alfv\'en oscillations of the perfectly conducting crustal matter about axis of fossil magnetic field frozen in the immobile core. The energy variational method of the magneto-solid-mechanical theory of a viscoelastic perfectly conducting medium pervaded by magnetic field is utilized to compute the frequency and lifetime of nodeless torsional vibrations of crustal solid-state plasma about the dipole magnetic-moment axis of the star. It is found that obtained two-parametric spectral formula for the frequency of this toroidal Alfven mode provides fairly accurate account of rapid oscillations of the X-ray flux during the flare of SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14, supporting the investigated conjecture that these quasi-periodic oscillations owe its origin to axisymmetric torsional oscillations predominately driven by Lorentz force of magnetic field stresses in the finite-depth crustal region of the above magnetars.

We study "holomorphic quadratic differentials" on graphs. We relate them to the reactive power in an LC circuit, and also to the chromatic polynomial of a graph. Specifically, we show that the chromatic polynomial $\chi$ of a graph $G$, at negative integer values, can be evaluated as the degree of a certain rational mapping, arising from the defining equations for a holomorphic quadratic differential. This allows us to give an explicit integral expression for $\chi(-k)$.

The performance analysis of free space optical communication (FSO) system using relays and spatial diversity at the source is studied in this paper. The effect of atmospheric turbulence and attenuation, caused by different weather conditions and geometric losses, has also been considered for analysis. The exact closed-form expressions are presented for bit error rate (BER) of M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) technique for multi-hop multiple-input single-output (MISO) FSO system under log-normal fading channel. Furthermore, the link performance of multi-hop MISO and multi-hop single-input and single-output (SISO) FSO systems are compared to the different systems using on-off keying (OOK), repetition codes (RCs) and M-ary pulse amplitude modulation (M-PAM) techniques. A significant performance enhancement in terms of BER analysis and SNR gains is shown for multi-hop MISO and multi-hop SISO FSO systems with M-QAM over other existing systems with different modulation schemes. Moreover, Monte-Carlo simulations are used to validate the accuracy and consistency of the derived analytical results. Numerical results show that M-QAM modulated multi-hop MISO and multi-hop SISO FSO system with relays and spatial diversity outperforms other systems while having the same spectral efficiency of each system.

A Flat and Scalable Data Center Network Topology Based on De Bruijn Graphs

Due to the requirement of hosting tens of thousands of hosts in today's data centers, data center networks strive for scalability and high throughput on the one hand. On the other hand, the cost for networking hardware should be minimized. Consequently, the number and complexity (e.g. TCAM size) of switches has to be minimized. These requirements led to network topologies like Clos and Leaf-Spine networks only requiring a shallow hierarchy of switches---two levels for Leaf-Spine networks. The drawback of these topologies is that switches at higher levels like Spine switches need a high port density and, thus, are expensive and limit the scalability of the network. In this paper, we propose a data center network topology based on De Bruijn graphs completely avoiding a switch hierarchy and implementing a flat network topology of top-of-rack switches instead. This topology guarantees logarithmic (short) path length. We show that the required routing logic can be implemented by standard prefix matching operations in hardware (TCAM) allowing for using commodity switches without any modification. Moreover, forwarding requires only a very small number of forwarding table entries, saving costly and energy-intensive TCAM.

Short text messages such as tweets are very noisy and sparse in their use of vocabulary. Traditional textual representations, such as tf-idf, have difficulty grasping the semantic meaning of such texts, which is important in applications such as event detection, opinion mining, news recommendation, etc. We constructed a method based on semantic word embeddings and frequency information to arrive at low-dimensional representations for short texts designed to capture semantic similarity. For this purpose we designed a weight-based model and a learning procedure based on a novel median-based loss function. This paper discusses the details of our model and the optimization methods, together with the experimental results on both Wikipedia and Twitter data. We find that our method outperforms the baseline approaches in the experiments, and that it generalizes well on different word embeddings without retraining. Our method is therefore capable of retaining most of the semantic information in the text, and is applicable out-of-the-box.

In this paper we present a unifying geometric and compositional framework for modeling complex physical network dynamics as port-Hamiltonian systems on open graphs. Basic idea is to associate with the incidence matrix of the graph a Dirac structure relating the flow and effort variables associated to the edges, internal vertices, as well as boundary vertices of the graph, and to formulate energy-storing or energy-dissipating relations between the flow and effort variables of the edges and internal vertices. This allows for state variables associated to the edges, and formalizes the interconnection of networks. Examples from different origins such as consensus algorithms are shown to share the same structure. It is shown how the identified Hamiltonian structure offers systematic tools for the analysis of the resulting dynamics.

We investigate the growth of large-scale structure in the superfluid Chaplygin gas (SCG) model. Both linear and non-linear growth, such as $\sigma_8$ and the skewness $S_3$, are discussed. We find the growth factor of SCG reduces to the EdS case at early times while differs from the $\Lambda$CDM case in the large $a$ limit. We also find there will be much stricture growth on large scales in the SCG scenario than in $\Lambda$CDM and the variations of $\sigma_{8}$ and $S_3$ between SCG and $\Lambda$CDM can not be discriminated.

A Non-commutative Extension of Lee-Seung's Algorithm for Positive Semidefinite Factorizations

Given a matrix $X\in \mathbb{R}_+^{m\times n}$ with nonnegative entries, a Positive Semidefinite (PSD) factorization of $X$ is a collection of $r \times r$-dimensional PSD matrices $\{A_i\}$ and $\{B_j\}$ satisfying $X_{ij}= \mathrm{tr}(A_i B_j)$ for all $\ i\in [m],\ j\in [n]$. PSD factorizations are fundamentally linked to understanding the expressiveness of semidefinite programs as well as the power and limitations of quantum resources in information theory. The PSD factorization task generalizes the Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) problem where we seek a collection of $r$-dimensional nonnegative vectors $\{a_i\}$ and $\{b_j\}$ satisfying $X_{ij}= a_i^\top b_j$, for all $i\in [m],\ j\in [n]$ -- one can recover the latter problem by choosing matrices in the PSD factorization to be diagonal. The most widely used algorithm for computing NMFs of a matrix is the Multiplicative Update algorithm developed by Lee and Seung, in which nonnegativity of the updates is preserved by scaling with positive diagonal matrices. In this paper, we describe a non-commutative extension of Lee-Seung's algorithm, which we call the Matrix Multiplicative Update (MMU) algorithm, for computing PSD factorizations. The MMU algorithm ensures that updates remain PSD by congruence scaling with the matrix geometric mean of appropriate PSD matrices, and it retains the simplicity of implementation that Lee-Seung's algorithm enjoys. Building on the Majorization-Minimization framework, we show that under our update scheme the squared loss objective is non-increasing and fixed points correspond to critical points. The analysis relies on Lieb's Concavity Theorem. Beyond PSD factorizations, we use the MMU algorithm as a primitive to calculate block-diagonal PSD factorizations and tensor PSD factorizations. We demonstrate the utility of our method with experiments on real and synthetic data.

Smoothing operation to make continuous density field from observed point-like distribution of galaxies is crucially important for topological or morphological analysis of the large-scale structure, such as, the genus statistics or the area statistics (equivalently the level crossing statistics). It has been pointed out that the adaptive smoothing filters are more efficient tools to resolve cosmic structures than the traditional spatially fixed filters. We study weakly nonlinear effects caused by two representative adaptive methods often used in smoothed hydrodynamical particle (SPH) simulations. Using framework of second-order perturbation theory, we calculate the generalized skewness parameters for the adaptive methods in the case of initially power-law fluctuations. Then we apply the multidimensional Edgeworth expansion method and investigate weakly nonlinear evolution of the genus statistics and the area statistics. Isodensity contour surfaces are often parameterized by the volume fraction of the regions above a given density threshold. We also discuss this parameterization method in perturbative manner.

http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
In various practical situations, matrix factorization methods suffer from poor data quality, such as high data sparsity and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Here we consider a matrix factorization problem by utilizing auxiliary information, which is massively available in real applications, to overcome the challenges caused by poor data quality. Unlike existing methods that mainly rely on simple linear models to combine auxiliary information with the main data matrix, we propose to integrate gradient boosted trees in the probabilistic matrix factorization framework to effectively leverage auxiliary information (MFAI). Thus, MFAI naturally inherits several salient features of gradient boosted trees, such as the capability of flexibly modeling nonlinear relationships, and robustness to irrelevant features and missing values in auxiliary information. The parameters in MAFI can be automatically determined under the empirical Bayes framework, making it adaptive to the utilization of auxiliary information and immune to overfitting. Moreover, MFAI is computationally efficient and scalable to large-scale datasets by exploiting variational inference. We demonstrate the advantages of MFAI through comprehensive numerical results from simulation studies and real data analysis. Our approach is implemented in the R package mfair available at https://github.com/YangLabHKUST/mfair.

In this paper we introduce a new family of icc groups $\Gamma$ which satisfy the following product rigidity phenomenon, discovered in [DHI16] (see also [dSP17]): all tensor product decompositions of the II$_1$ factor $L(\Gamma)$ arise only from the canonical direct product decompositions of the underlying group $\Gamma$. Our groups are assembled from certain HNN-extensions and amalgamated free products and include many remarkable groups studied throughout mathematics such as graph product groups, poly-amalgam groups, Burger-Mozes groups, Higman group, various integral two-dimensional Cremona groups, etc. As a consequence, we obtain several new examples of groups that give rise to prime factors.

Within the NRQCD factorization framework, we compute the next-to-leading-order QCD corrections to the gluon fragmentation into the ${}^1S_0^{(1,8)}$ Fock components of a quarkonium, at the lowest order in velocity expansion. We follow the operator definition of the fragmentation function advanced by Collins and Soper. The key technique underpinning our calculation is the sector decomposition method widely used in the area of multi-loop computation. It is found that the NLO QCD corrections have significant effects, and qualitatively modify the profiles of the corresponding leading-order fragmentation functions.

In this paper, we present two software packages, HexGen and Hex2Spline, that seamlessly integrate geometry design with isogeometric analysis (IGA) in LS-DYNA. Given a boundary representation of a solid model, HexGen creates a hexahedral mesh by utilizing a semi-automatic polycube-based mesh generation method. Hex2Spline takes the output hexahedral mesh from HexGen as the input control mesh and constructs volumetric truncated hierarchical splines. Through B\'{e}zier extraction, Hex2Spline transfers spline information to LS-DYNA and performs IGA therein. We explain the underlying algorithms in each software package and use a rod model to explain how to run the software. We also apply our software to several other complex models to test its robustness. Our goal is to provide a robust volumetric modeling tool and thus expand the boundary of IGA to volume-based industrial applications.

Let $\mathcal{A}=(a_i)_{i=1}^\infty$ be a non-decreasing sequence of positive integers and let $k\in\mathbb{N}_+$ be fixed. The function $p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$ counts the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in the multiset $\{a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_k\}$. We find out a new type of Bessenrodt-Ono inequality for the function $p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$. Further, we discover when and under what conditions on $k$, $\{a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_k\}$ and $N\in\mathbb{N}_+$, the sequence $\left(p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)\right)_{n=N}^\infty$ is log-concave. Our proofs are based on the asymptotic behavior of $p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$, in particular, we apply the results of Netto and P\'olya-Szeg\"o as well as the Almkavist's estimation.

An improved measurement of the process B+- --> rho+- pi0 is presented. The data sample of 211/fb comprises 232 million Y(4S) --> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. The yield and CP asymmetry are calculated using an extended maximum likelihood fitting method. The branching fraction and asymmetry are found to be BR(B+- --> rho+- pi0) = [10.0 +- 1.4 (stat) +- 0.9 (syst)]x 10^-6 and Acp(B+- --> rho+- pi0) = -0.01 +- 0.13 (stat) +- 0.02 (syst), superseding previous measurements. The statistical significance of the branching fraction is calculated to be 8.7sigma.

6G and beyond networks tend towards fully intelligent and adaptive design in order to provide better operational agility in maintaining universal wireless access and supporting a wide range of services and use cases while dealing with network complexity efficiently. Such enhanced network agility will require developing a self-evolving capability in designing both the network architecture and resource management to intelligently utilize resources, reduce operational costs, and achieve the coveted quality of service (QoS). To enable this capability, the necessity of considering an integrated vertical heterogeneous network (VHetNet) architecture appears to be inevitable due to its high inherent agility. Moreover, employing an intelligent framework is another crucial requirement for self-evolving networks to deal with real-time network optimization problems. Hence, in this work, to provide a better insight on network architecture design in support of self-evolving networks, we highlight the merits of integrated VHetNet architecture while proposing an intelligent framework for self-evolving integrated vertical heterogeneous networks (SEI-VHetNets). The impact of the challenges associated with SEI-VHetNet architecture, on network management is also studied considering a generalized network model. Furthermore, the current literature on network management of integrated VHetNets along with the recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) solutions are discussed. Accordingly, the core challenges of integrating AI/ML in SEI-VHetNets are identified. Finally, the potential future research directions for advancing the autonomous and self-evolving capabilities of SEI-VHetNets are discussed.

We report exact results for the partition function for free Dirac fermions on a half line with physically sensible boundary conditions. An exact effective action for general backscattering amplitudes is derived. The action also includes the effects of both a (time-dependent) forward scattering amplitude and a dynamical chiral twist of the fermion boundary conditions. For a small backscattering amplitude, the effective action has the expected boundary Sine-Gordon form. We discuss applications of our results to one-dimensional Fermi systems with local backscattering.

{\it Kepler} satellite photometry and phase-resolved spectroscopy of the ultracompact AM CVn type binary SDSS J190817.07+394036.4 are presented. The average spectra reveal a variety of weak metal lines of different species, including silicon, sulphur and magnesium as well as many lines of nitrogen, beside the strong absorption lines of neutral helium. The phase-folded spectra and the Doppler tomograms reveal an S-wave in emission in the core of the He I 4471 \AA\,absorption line at a period of $P_{\rm orb}=1085.7\pm2.8$\,sec identifying this as the orbital period of the system. The Si II, Mg II and the core of some He I lines show an S-wave in absorption with a phase offset of $170\pm15^\circ$ compared to the S-wave in emission. The N II, Si III and some helium lines do not show any phase variability at all. The spectroscopic orbital period is in excellent agreement with a period at $P_{\rm orb}=1085.108(9)$\,sec detected in the three year {\it Kepler} lightcurve. A Fourier analysis of the Q6 to Q17 short cadence data obtained by {\it Kepler} revealed a large number of frequencies above the noise level where the majority shows a large variability in frequency and amplitude. In an O-C analysis we measured a $\vert\dot{P}\vert\sim1.0\,$x$\,10^{-8}\,$s\,s$^{-1}$ for some of the strongest variations and set a limit for the orbital period to be $\vert\dot{P}\vert<10^{-10}$s\,s$^{-1}$. The shape of the phase folded lightcurve on the orbital period indicates the motion of the bright spot. Models of the system were constructed to see whether the phases of the radial velocity curves and the lightcurve variation can be combined to a coherent picture. However, from the measured phases neither the absorption nor the emission can be explained to originate in the bright spot.

We consider nonlinear mutation selection models, known as replicator-mutator equations in evolutionary biology. They involve a nonlocal mutation kernel and a confining fitness potential. We prove that the long time behaviour of the Cauchy problem is determined by the principal eigenelement of the underlying linear operator. The novelties compared to the literature on these models are about the case of symmetric mutations: we propose a new milder sufficient condition for the existence of a principal eigenfunction, and we provide what is to our knowledge the first quantification of the spectral gap. We also recover existing results in the non-symmetric case, through a new approach.

An increasingly popular set of techniques adopted by software engineering (SE) researchers to automate development tasks are those rooted in the concept of Deep Learning (DL). The popularity of such techniques largely stems from their automated feature engineering capabilities, which aid in modeling software artifacts. However, due to the rapid pace at which DL techniques have been adopted, it is difficult to distill the current successes, failures, and opportunities of the current research landscape. In an effort to bring clarity to this crosscutting area of work, from its modern inception to the present, this paper presents a systematic literature review of research at the intersection of SE & DL. The review canvases work appearing in the most prominent SE and DL conferences and journals and spans 128 papers across 23 unique SE tasks. We center our analysis around the components of learning, a set of principles that govern the application of machine learning techniques (ML) to a given problem domain, discussing several aspects of the surveyed work at a granular level. The end result of our analysis is a research roadmap that both delineates the foundations of DL techniques applied to SE research, and highlights likely areas of fertile exploration for the future.

On the robustness of the metric dimension of grid graphs to adding a single edge
null

The metric dimension (MD) of a graph is a combinatorial notion capturing the minimum number of landmark nodes needed to distinguish every pair of nodes in the graph based on graph distance. We study how much the MD can increase if we add a single edge to the graph. The extra edge can either be selected adversarially, in which case we are interested in the largest possible value that the MD can take, or uniformly at random, in which case we are interested in the distribution of the MD. The adversarial setting has already been studied by [Eroh et. al., 2015] for general graphs, who found an example where the MD doubles on adding a single edge. By constructing a different example, we show that this increase can be as large as exponential. However, we believe that such a large increase can occur only in specially constructed graphs, and that in most interesting graph families, the MD at most doubles on adding a single edge. We prove this for $d$-dimensional grid graphs, by showing that $2d$ appropriately chosen corners and the endpoints of the extra edge can distinguish every pair of nodes, no matter where the edge is added. For the special case of $d=2$, we show that it suffices to choose the four corners as landmarks. Finally, when the extra edge is sampled uniformly at random, we conjecture that the MD of 2-dimensional grids converges in probability to $3+\mathrm{Ber}(8/27)$, and we give an almost complete proof.

The coupling between the electrical transport properties of La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) thin films and structural phase transitions of SrTiO3 (STO) substrates at Ts = 105 K has been investigated. We found that the electrical resistivity of LSMO films exhibit a cusp at Ts, which is greatly amplified by tuning films to the verge of metallic and insulating phases, i.e., to the boundary of two delicate competing electronic states. Our results demonstrate that small amounts of strain can tip the subtle balance of competing interactions and tune the electronic properties in correlated electron materials.

By using the recently introduced empirical equilibrium analysis (Velez and Brown, 2019, arXiv:1804.07986) we determine that this behavior is plausible only when the social choice function violates a non-bossiness condition and information is not interior. Analysis of the accumulated experimental and empirical evidence on these games supports our findings.

Solving symbolic reasoning problems that require compositionality and systematicity is considered one of the key ingredients of human intelligence. However, symbolic reasoning is still a great challenge for deep learning models, which often cannot generalize the reasoning pattern to out-of-distribution test cases. In this work, we propose a hybrid system capable of solving arithmetic problems that require compositional and systematic reasoning over sequences of symbols. The model acquires such a skill by learning appropriate substitution rules, which are applied iteratively to the input string until the expression is completely resolved. We show that the proposed system can accurately solve nested arithmetical expressions even when trained only on a subset including the simplest cases, significantly outperforming both a sequence-to-sequence model trained end-to-end and a state-of-the-art large language model.

A recent report has identified a central compact object (CCO) within the supernova remnant HESS J1731-347, with a mass and radius of $M=0.77^{+0.20}_{-0.17}M{\odot}$ and $R=10.4^{+0.86}_{-0.78}$ km, respectively. To investigate this light compact star, a density-dependent relativistic mean-field (DDRMF) model, specifically the DDVT model, has been employed. The DDVT model incorporates tensor couplings of vector mesons, which {can} successfully describe the properties of finite nuclei, such as charge radius, binding energy, and spin-orbit splitting. The introduction of tensor coupling reduces the influence of scalar mesons and generates a softer equation of state (EOS) in the outer core of the neutron star. Moreover, it has been found that the crust segment plays a crucial role in reproducing the mass-radius relation of HESS J1731-347, indicating a preference for a soft crust EOS. By manipulating the coupling strength of the isovector meson in the DDVT parameter set, a reasonable hadronic EOS has been obtained, satisfying the constraints from the gravitational-wave signal GW170817, the simultaneous mass-radius measurements from the NICER collaboration, and the properties of finite nuclei. Notably, the mass-radius relations derived from this hadronic EOS also accurately describe the observables of HESS J1731-347. Therefore, based on our estimation, the CCO in HESS J1731-347 may represent the lightest known neutron star.

This paper revisits the issue of route discovery in dynamic source routing (DSR) for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), and puts forward a proposal of a lightweight non-optimal route suppression technique based on the observation of a rarely noted but commonly occurring phenomenon in route discovery. The technique exploits the observed phenomenon to extract query state information that permits intermediate nodes to identify and suppress the initiation of route replies with non-optimal routes, even if the route query is received for the first time. A detailed evaluation of DSR with non-optimal route suppression is found to yield significant improvements in both protocol efficiency and performance.

Cooperation is modeled by the prisoner's dilemma, where individuals produce a costly public good (PG) that equally benefits all members of a community divided into multiple, distinct patches (multilevel selection). Cost and benefit are non-linear functions of the PG production. The analysis of evolutionary stability yields an optimization problem for the expression of PG in dependency on the number of QS individuals within a colony. We find that the optimal total PG production of the QS population mainly depends on the shape of the benefit. A graded and a switch-like response is possible, in accordance with earlier results. Interestingly, at the level of the individual cell, the QS response is determined by the shape of the costs. All QS individuals respond either homogeneously if cost are a convex function of the PG production rate, or they respond heterogeneously with distinct ON/OFF responses if the costs are concave. The latter finding is consistent with recent experimental findings, and contradicts the usual interpretation of QS as a mechanism to establish a uniform, synchronized response of a bacterial population.

Pyrochlores offer an ideal playground to investigate the magnetic ground state of frustrated magnetic systems. In this class of materials, competition between various magnetic interactions remains frustrated and prevents an ordered magnetic state at low temperatures. Tb2Sn2O7 has recently attracted significant attention due to its ordered spin-ice state. Additionally, in such systems, application of external magnetic field might result in exotic magnetic states. Our current investigation on Tb2Sn2O7 reveal the presence of a new phase associated with fifth order susceptibility at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. In this compound, at zero fields, for a stabilized spin-ice state, the singlet-singlet state separated by {\delta} play an imperative role. Under magnetic fields, {\delta} increases and the Zeeman energy associated with the magnetic anisotropy is believed to get enhanced; which can be the key ingredient for evolution of higher-order moments, above 10 kOe, in this compound.

Let K be a complete ultrametric field. We give lower and upper bounds for the size of linearization discs for power series over K near hyperbolic fixed points. These estimates are maximal in the sense that there exist examples where these estimates give the exact size of the corresponding linearization disc. In particular, at repelling fixed points, the linearization disc is equal to the maximal disc on which the power series is injective.

This investigation has used flexural test to explore the effects of thermal treatments, i.e., high-temperature and cryogenic environments on the mechanical property of alumina particulate-reinforced Cu metal matrix micro and nanocomposites in ex-situ and in-situ conditions. Cu-5 vol. pct alumina micro (10 micron)- and nanocomposites (<50 nm) fabricated by powder metallurgy route were subjected to up-thermal shock cycle [193 K to 353 K (-80C to 80C)] and down-thermal shock cycle [193 K to 353 K (from 80C to -80C)] for different time periods followed by 3-point bend test. One batch of specimens (micro and nanocomposites) was conditioned at [193 K to 353 K (from 80C to -80C)] separately followed by 3-point flexural test. High-temperature flexural test was performed at [373 K to 523 K (100C to 250C)] on the micro and nanocomposites. All the fractured samples obtained after various thermal treatments were studied under scanning electron microscope (SEM). The development of thermal stresses quite often results in concentration of residual stresses at the particle/matrix interface eventually weakening it. Enhancement of flexural strength was recorded for down- as well as for up-thermal shock in microcomposites. The high-temperature flexural strengths of micro and nanocomposites are lower than those at ambient temperature. The amelioration and declination in mechanical properties as a consequence of thermal shock, thermal conditioning, and high-temperature flexural testing have been discussed in the light of fractography.

Build accurate DNN models requires training on large labeled, context specific datasets, especially those matching the target scenario. We believe advances in wireless localization, working in unison with cameras, can produce automated annotation of targets on images and videos captured in the wild. Using pedestrian and vehicle detection as examples, we demonstrate the feasibility, benefits, and challenges of an automatic image annotation system. Our work calls for new technical development on passive localization, mobile data analytics, and error-resilient ML models, as well as design issues in user privacy policies.

We propose a family of optimization methods that achieve linear convergence using first-order gradient information and constant step sizes on a class of convex functions much larger than the smooth and strongly convex ones. This larger class includes functions whose second derivatives may be singular or unbounded at their minima. Our methods are discretizations of conformal Hamiltonian dynamics, which generalize the classical momentum method to model the motion of a particle with non-standard kinetic energy exposed to a dissipative force and the gradient field of the function of interest. They are first-order in the sense that they require only gradient computation. Yet, crucially the kinetic gradient map can be designed to incorporate information about the convex conjugate in a fashion that allows for linear convergence on convex functions that may be non-smooth or non-strongly convex. We study in detail one implicit and two explicit methods. For one explicit method, we provide conditions under which it converges to stationary points of non-convex functions. For all, we provide conditions on the convex function and kinetic energy pair that guarantee linear convergence, and show that these conditions can be satisfied by functions with power growth. In sum, these methods expand the class of convex functions on which linear convergence is possible with first-order computation.

We study the conditions under which species interaction, as described by continuous versions of the competitive Lotka-Volterra model (namely the nonlocal Kolmogorov-Fisher model, and its differential approximation), can support the existence of localized states, i.e. patches of species with enhanced population surrounded in niche space by species at smaller densities. These states would arise from species interaction, and not by any preferred niche location or better fitness. In contrast to previous works we include only quadratic nonlinearities, so that the localized patches appear on a background of homogeneously distributed species coexistence, instead than on top of the no-species empty state. For the differential model we find and describe in detail the stable localized states. For the full nonlocal model, however competitive interactions alone do not allow the conditions for the observation of self-localized states, and we show how the inclusion of additional facilitative interactions lead to the appearance of them.

We prove several versions of N. Alon's "necklace-splitting theorem", subject to additional constraints, as illustrated by the following results. (1) The "almost equicardinal necklace-splitting theorem" claims that, without increasing the number of cuts, one guarantees the existence of a fair splitting such that each thief is allocated (approximately) one and the same number of pieces of the necklace (including "degenerate pieces" if they exist), provided the number of thieves $r=p^\nu$ is a prime power. (2) The "binary splitting theorem" claims that if $r=2^d$ and the thieves are associated with the vertices of a $d$-cube then, without increasing the number of cuts, one can guarantee the existence of a fair splitting such that adjacent pieces are allocated to thieves that share an edge of the cube. This result provides a positive answer to the "binary splitting necklace conjecture" of Asada at al. (Conjecture 2.11 in [7]) in the case $r=2^d$. (3) An interesting variation arises when the thieves have their own individual preferences. We prove several "envy-free fair necklace-splitting theorems" of various level of generality. By specialization we obtain numerous corollaries, among them envy-free versions of (a) "almost equicardinal splitting theorem", (b) "necklace-splitting theorem for $r$-unavoidable preferences", (c) "envy-free binary splitting theorem", etc. As a corollary we also obtain a recent result of Avvakumov and Karasev [1] about envy-free divisions where players may prefer an empty part of the necklace.

An important result of Arkhipov-Bezrukavnikov-Ginzburg relates constructible sheaves on the affine Grassmannian to coherent sheaves on the dual Springer resolution. In this paper, we prove a positive-characteristic analogue of this statement, using the framework of "mixed modular sheaves" recently developed by the first author and Riche. As an application, we deduce a relationship between parity sheaves on the affine Grassmannian and Bezrukavnikov's "exotic t-structure" on the Springer resolution.

Orientation is a crucial skill for football players that becomes a differential factor in a large set of events, especially the ones involving passes. However, existing orientation estimation methods, which are based on computer-vision techniques, still have a lot of room for improvement. To the best of our knowledge, this article presents the first deep learning model for estimating orientation directly from video footage. By approaching this challenge as a classification problem where classes correspond to orientation bins, and by introducing a cyclic loss function, a well-known convolutional network is refined to provide player orientation data. The model is trained by using ground-truth orientation data obtained from wearable EPTS devices, which are individually compensated with respect to the perceived orientation in the current frame. The obtained results outperform previous methods; in particular, the absolute median error is less than 12 degrees per player. An ablation study is included in order to show the potential generalization to any kind of football video footage.

In this paper we establish a relation between Coulomb and oscillator systems on $n$-dimensional spheres and hyperboloids for $n\geq 2$. We show that, as in Euclidean space, the quasiradial equation for the $n+1$ dimensional Coulomb problem coincides with the $2n$-dimensional quasiradial oscillator equation on spheres and hyperboloids. Using the solution of the Schr\"odinger equation for the oscillator system, we construct the energy spectrum and wave functions for the Coulomb problem.

In this paper, we explain a procedure based on a classical result of Sturm that can be used to determine rigorously whether a given trigonometric polynomial is nonnegative in a certain interval or not. Many examples are given. This technique has been employed by the author in several recent works. The procedure often involves tedious computations that are time-consuming and error-prone. Fortunately, symbolic computation software is available to automate the procedure. In this paper, we give the details of its implementation in MAPLE 13. Some who are strongly attached to a more traditional theoretical research framework may find such details boring or even consider computer-assisted proofs suspicious. However, we emphasize again that the procedure is completely mathematically rigorous.

We introduce a top-down approach to discourse parsing that is conceptually simpler than its predecessors (Kobayashi et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2020). By framing the task as a sequence labelling problem where the goal is to iteratively segment a document into individual discourse units, we are able to eliminate the decoder and reduce the search space for splitting points. We explore both traditional recurrent models and modern pre-trained transformer models for the task, and additionally introduce a novel dynamic oracle for top-down parsing. Based on the Full metric, our proposed LSTM model sets a new state-of-the-art for RST parsing.

Art Media Classification problem is a current research area that has attracted attention due to the complex extraction and analysis of features of high-value art pieces. The perception of the attributes can not be subjective, as humans sometimes follow a biased interpretation of artworks while ensuring automated observation's trustworthiness. Machine Learning has outperformed many areas through its learning process of artificial feature extraction from images instead of designing handcrafted feature detectors. However, a major concern related to its reliability has brought attention because, with small perturbations made intentionally in the input image (adversarial attack), its prediction can be completely changed. In this manner, we foresee two ways of approaching the situation: (1) solve the problem of adversarial attacks in current neural networks methodologies, or (2) propose a different approach that can challenge deep learning without the effects of adversarial attacks. The first one has not been solved yet, and adversarial attacks have become even more complex to defend. Therefore, this work presents a Deep Genetic Programming method, called Brain Programming, that competes with deep learning and studies the transferability of adversarial attacks using two artworks databases made by art experts. The results show that the Brain Programming method preserves its performance in comparison with AlexNet, making it robust to these perturbations and competing to the performance of Deep Learning.

Multi-dimensional classification (MDC) is the supervised learning problem where an instance is associated with multiple classes, rather than with a single class, as in traditional classification problems. Since these classes are often strongly correlated, modeling the dependencies between them allows MDC methods to improve their performance - at the expense of an increased computational cost. In this paper we focus on the classifier chains (CC) approach for modeling dependencies, one of the most popular and highest- performing methods for multi-label classification (MLC), a particular case of MDC which involves only binary classes (i.e., labels). The original CC algorithm makes a greedy approximation, and is fast but tends to propagate errors along the chain. Here we present novel Monte Carlo schemes, both for finding a good chain sequence and performing efficient inference. Our algorithms remain tractable for high-dimensional data sets and obtain the best predictive performance across several real data sets.

Humans can effortlessly recognize others' actions in the presence of complex transformations, such as changes in viewpoint. Several studies have located the regions in the brain involved in invariant action recognition, however, the underlying neural computations remain poorly understood. We use magnetoencephalography (MEG) decoding and a dataset of well-controlled, naturalistic videos of five actions (run, walk, jump, eat, drink) performed by different actors at different viewpoints to study the computational steps used to recognize actions across complex transformations. In particular, we ask when the brain discounts changes in 3D viewpoint relative to when it initially discriminates between actions. We measure the latency difference between invariant and non-invariant action decoding when subjects view full videos as well as form-depleted and motion-depleted stimuli. Our results show no difference in decoding latency or temporal profile between invariant and non-invariant action recognition in full videos. However, when either form or motion information is removed from the stimulus set, we observe a decrease and delay in invariant action decoding. Our results suggest that the brain recognizes actions and builds invariance to complex transformations at the same time, and that both form and motion information are crucial for fast, invariant action recognition.

Here, we present the computational prediction of a large family of 628 thermodynamically stable quaternary chalcogenides, AMM'Q$_3$ (A = alkali/alkaline earth/post-transition metals; M/M' = transition metals, lanthanides; Q = chalcogens) using high-throughput density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We validate the presence of low-$\kappa_l$ in this family of materials by calculating $\kappa_l$ of several predicted stable compounds using the Peierls-Boltzmann transport equation within a first-principles DFT framework. Our analysis reveals that the low-$\kappa_l$ in the AMM'Q$_3$ compounds originates from the presence of either a strong lattice anharmonicity that enhances the phonon scatterings or rattlers cations that lead to multiple scattering channels in their crystal structures. Our predictions suggest new experimental research opportunities in the synthesis and characterization of these stable, low-$\kappa_l$ compounds.

Tangent and normal cones play an important role in constrained optimization to describe admissible search directions and, in particular, to formulate optimality conditions. They notably appear in various recent algorithms for both smooth and nonsmooth low-rank optimization where the feasible set is the set $\mathbb{R}_{\leq r}^{m \times n}$ of all $m \times n$ real matrices of rank at most $r$. In this paper, motivated by the convergence analysis of such algorithms, we study, by computing inner and outer limits, the continuity of the correspondence that maps each $X \in \mathbb{R}_{\leq r}^{m \times n}$ to the tangent cone to $\mathbb{R}_{\leq r}^{m \times n}$ at $X$. We also deduce results about the continuity of the corresponding normal cone correspondence. Finally, we show that our results include as a particular case the $a$-regularity of the Whitney stratification of $\mathbb{R}_{\leq r}^{m \times n}$ following from the fact that this set is a real algebraic variety, called the real determinantal variety.

Photoproduction of the cascade resonances has been investigated in the reactions $\gamma p \to K^+ K^+ (X)$ and $\gamma p \to K^+ K^+ \pi^- (X)$. The mass split of the $\Xi$ doublet is measured to be $5.4\pm 1.8$ MeV/c$^2$, consistent with existing measurements. The differential (total) cross sections for the $\Xi^{-}$ have been determined for photon beam energies from 2.75 to 3.85 (4.75) GeV, and are consistent with a possible production mechanism of $Y^*\to K^+\Xi^-$ through a $t$-channel process. The reaction $\gamma p \to K^+ K^+ \pi^-[\Xi^0]$ has also been investigated in search of excited cascade resonances. No significant signal of excited cascade states other than the $\Xi^-(1530)$ is observed. The cross section results of the $\Xi^-(1530)$ have also been obtained for photon beam energies from 3.35 to 4.75 GeV.

The analysis of the time profile of electrical signals produced by energy depositions in germanium detectors allows discrimination of events with different topologies. This is especially relevant for experiments searching for the neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{76}$Ge to distinguish the sought-after signal from other background sources. The standard calibration procedures used to tune the selection criteria for double-beta decay events use a $^{228}$Th source, because it provides samples of signal-like events. These samples exhibit energy spatial distributions with subtle different topologies compared to neutrinoless double-beta decay events. In this work, we will characterize these topological differences and, with the support of a $^{56}$Co source, evaluate biases and precision of calibration techniques which use such event samples. Our results will be particularly relevant for future experiments in which a solid estimation of the efficiency is required.

We present a theoretical study of the electronic transport through Pt nanocontacts. We show that the analysis of the tunnelling regime requires a very careful treatment of the technical details. For instance, an insufficient size of the system can cause unphysical charge oscillations to arise along the transport direction; moreover, the use of an inappropriate basis set can deviate the distance dependence of the conductance from the expected exponential trend. While the conductance decay can be either corrected by employing ghost atoms or a large-cutoff-radius basis set, the same does not apply to the corrugation, for which only the second option is recommended. Interestingly, these details were not found to have a remarkable impact in the contact regime. These findings are important for theoretical studies of distance-dependent phenomena in scanning-probe and break-junction experiments.

Does AI-Assisted Fact-Checking Disproportionately Benefit Majority Groups Online?

In recent years, algorithms have been incorporated into fact-checking pipelines. They are used not only to flag previously fact-checked misinformation, but also to provide suggestions about which trending claims should be prioritized for fact-checking - a paradigm called `check-worthiness.' While several studies have examined the accuracy of these algorithms, none have investigated how the benefits from these algorithms (via reduction in exposure to misinformation) are distributed amongst various online communities. In this paper, we investigate how diverse representation across multiple stages of the AI development pipeline affects the distribution of benefits from AI-assisted fact-checking for different online communities. We simulate information propagation through the network using our novel Topic-Aware, Community-Impacted Twitter (TACIT) simulator on a large Twitter followers network, tuned to produce realistic cascades of true and false information across multiple topics. Finally, using simulated data as a test bed, we implement numerous algorithmic fact-checking interventions that explicitly account for notions of diversity. We find that both representative and egalitarian methods for sampling and labeling check-worthiness model training data can lead to network-wide benefit concentrated in majority communities, while incorporating diversity into how fact-checkers use algorithmic recommendations can actively reduce inequalities in benefits between majority and minority communities. These findings contribute to an important conversation around the responsible implementation of AI-assisted fact-checking by social media platforms and fact-checking organizations.

Neural Architecture Search for Deep Face Recognition

By the widespread popularity of electronic devices, the emergence of biometric technology has brought significant convenience to user authentication compared with the traditional password and mode unlocking. Among many biological characteristics, the face is a universal and irreplaceable feature that does not need too much cooperation and can significantly improve the user's experience at the same time. Face recognition is one of the main functions of electronic equipment propaganda. Hence it's virtually worth researching in computer vision. Previous work in this field has focused on two directions: converting loss function to improve recognition accuracy in traditional deep convolution neural networks (Resnet); combining the latest loss function with the lightweight system (MobileNet) to reduce network size at the minimal expense of accuracy. But none of these has changed the network structure. With the development of AutoML, neural architecture search (NAS) has shown excellent performance in the benchmark of image classification. In this paper, we integrate NAS technology into face recognition to customize a more suitable network. We quote the framework of neural architecture search which trains child and controller network alternately. At the same time, we mutate NAS by incorporating evaluation latency into rewards of reinforcement learning and utilize policy gradient algorithm to search the architecture automatically with the most classical cross-entropy loss. The network architectures we searched out have got state-of-the-art accuracy in the large-scale face dataset, which achieves 98.77% top-1 in MS-Celeb-1M and 99.89% in LFW with relatively small network size. To the best of our knowledge, this proposal is the first attempt to use NAS to solve the problem of Deep Face Recognition and achieve the best results in this domain.

The high-temperature asymptotics of a free energy in a graphene-metal system coincides with a Drude high-temperature asymptotics of the metal-metal system. High-temperature behavior in the graphene-metal system is expected at separations of the order of 100 nm at temperature T=300K.

Using diffeomorphism group vector fields on $\mathbb{C}$-multiplied tori and the related Lie-algebraic structures, we study multi-dimensional dispersionless integrable systems that describe conformal structure generating equations of mathematical physics. An interesting modification of the devised Lie-algebraic approach subject to spatial-dimensional invariance and meromorphicity of the related differential-geometric structures is described and applied in proving complete integrability of some conformal structure generating equations. As examples, we analyze the Einstein-Weyl metric equation, the modified Einstein-Weyl metric equation, the Dunajski heavenly equation system, the first and second conformal structure generating equations and the inverse first Shabat reduction heavenly equation. We also analyze the modified Pleba\'nski heavenly equations, the Husain heavenly equation and the general Monge equation along with their multi-dimensional generalizations. In addition, we construct superconformal analogs of the Whitham heavenly equation.

On-chip Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) of magnetic molecules requires the ability to precisely position nanosized samples in antinodes of the electro-magnetic field for maximal magnetic interaction. A method is developed to entrap micro-crystals containing spins in a well defined location on a substrate's surface. Traditional cavity ESR measurements are then performed on a mesoscopic crystal at 34 GHz. Polycrystalline diluted Cr$^{5+}$ spins were entrapped as well and measured while approaching the lower limit of the ESR sensitivity. This method suggests the feasibility of on-chip ESR measurements at dilution refrigerator temperatures by enabling the positioning of samples atop an on-chip superconducting cavity.

The multiway-cut problem is, given a weighted graph and k >= 2 terminal nodes, to find a minimum-weight set of edges whose removal separates all the terminals. The problem is NP-hard, and even NP-hard to approximate within 1+delta for some small delta > 0. Calinescu, Karloff, and Rabani (1998) gave an algorithm with performance guarantee 3/2-1/k, based on a geometric relaxation of the problem. In this paper, we give improved randomized rounding schemes for their relaxation, yielding a 12/11-approximation algorithm for k=3 and a 1.3438-approximation algorithm in general. Our approach hinges on the observation that the problem of designing a randomized rounding scheme for a geometric relaxation is itself a linear programming problem. The paper explores computational solutions to this problem, and gives a proof that for a general class of geometric relaxations, there are always randomized rounding schemes that match the integrality gap.

The structure of the network has great impact on its traffic dynamics. Most of the real world networks follow the heterogeneous structure and exhibit scale-free feature. In scale-free network, a new node prefers to connect with hub nodes and the network capacity is curtailed by smaller degree nodes. Therefore, we propose rewiring a fraction of links in the network, to improve the network transport efficiency. In this paper, we discuss some efficient link rewiring strategies and perform simulations on scale-free networks, confirming the effectiveness of these strategies. The rewiring strategies actually reduce the centrality of the nodes having higher betweenness centrality. After the link rewiring process, the degree distribution of the network remains the same. This work will be beneficial for the enhancement of network performance.

We study the dynamical structure of a self-gravitating disc with corona around a super-massive black hole. Assuming that the magneto-rotational-instability (MRI) responsible for generating the turbulent stresses inside the disc is also the source for a magnetically dominated corona, a fraction of the power released when the disc matter accretes is transported to and dissipated in the corona. This has major effect on the structure of the disc and its gravitational (in)stability according to our analytical and self-consistent solutions. We determine the radius where the disc crosses the inner radius of gravitational instability and forms the first stars. Not only the location of this radius which may extend to very large distances from the central black hole, but also the mass of the first stars highly depends on the input parameters, notably the viscous coefficient, mass of the central object and the accretion rate. For accretion discs around quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) and the Galactic center, we determine the self-gravitating radius and the mass of the first clumps. Comparing the cases with a corona and without a corona for typical discs around QSOs or the Galactic center, when the viscosity coefficient is around 0.3, we show that the self-gravitating radius decreases by a factor of approximately 2, but the mass of the fragments increases with more or less the same factor. Existence of a corona implies a more gravitationally unstable disc according to our results. The effect of a corona on the instability of the disc is more effective when the viscosity coefficient increases.

The problem of galactic formation and evolution should be solved on the basis of the Standard Model of particle physics. We believe that we live in the quantum 4-dimensional Minkowski space-time with the force-fields gauge-group structure SU_c(3) \times SU_L(2) \times U(1) \times SU_f(3) built-in from the very beginning, i.e., the "background" of our world. From this "background", we can see the lepton world, of atomic sizes, and also the quark world, of (fermi)^3 sizes. Basing on this belief, we study galactic formation and evolution, concluding that our Cosmos should end up with "model" galaxies. A model galaxy is the one in which a spiral visible ordinary-matter galaxy, such as our Milky Way and satellites, is surrounded by a huge dark-matter neutrino halo. As a byproduct (of studying the Standard Model), we find that neutrinos will be the {\it only long-lived} dark-matter particles.

The Seyfert 1 galaxy Arp 151 was monitored as part of three reverberation mapping campaigns spanning $2008-2015$. We present modeling of these velocity-resolved reverberation mapping datasets using a geometric and dynamical model for the broad line region (BLR). By modeling each of the three datasets independently, we infer the evolution of the BLR structure in Arp 151 over a total of seven years and constrain the systematic uncertainties in non-varying parameters such as the black hole mass. We find that the BLR geometry of a thick disk viewed close to face-on is stable over this time, although the size of the BLR grows by a factor of $\sim 2$. The dynamics of the BLR are dominated by inflow and the inferred black hole mass is consistent for the three datasets, despite the increase in BLR size. Combining the inference for the three datasets yields a black hole mass and statistical uncertainty of $\log_{10}($M$_{\rm BH}/\rm{M}_{\odot})=6.82^{+0.09}_{-0.09}$ with a standard deviation in individual measurements of 0.13 dex.

A simple cell model consisting of a catalytic reaction network with intermediate complex formation is numerically studied. As nutrients are depleted, the transition from the exponential growth phase to the growth-arrested dormant phase occurs along with hysteresis and a lag time for growth recovery. This transition is caused by the accumulation of intermediate complexes, leading to the jamming of reactions and the diversification of components. These properties are generic in random reaction networks, as supported by dynamical systems analyses of corresponding mean-field models.

We present a method to estimate depth of a dynamic scene, containing arbitrary moving objects, from an ordinary video captured with a moving camera. We seek a geometrically and temporally consistent solution to this underconstrained problem: the depth predictions of corresponding points across frames should induce plausible, smooth motion in 3D. We formulate this objective in a new test-time training framework where a depth-prediction CNN is trained in tandem with an auxiliary scene-flow prediction MLP over the entire input video. By recursively unrolling the scene-flow prediction MLP over varying time steps, we compute both short-range scene flow to impose local smooth motion priors directly in 3D, and long-range scene flow to impose multi-view consistency constraints with wide baselines. We demonstrate accurate and temporally coherent results on a variety of challenging videos containing diverse moving objects (pets, people, cars), as well as camera motion. Our depth maps give rise to a number of depth-and-motion aware video editing effects such as object and lighting insertion.

In this work the existence and properties of a global attractor for the solution semiflow of the Oregonator system are proved. The Oregonator system is the mathematical model of the famous Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction. A rescaling and grouping estimation method is developed to show the absorbing property and the asymptotic compactness of the solution trajectories of this three-variable reaction-diffusion system with quadratic nonlinearity from the autocatalytic kinetics. It is proved that the fractal dimension of the global attractor is finite. The existence of an exponential attractor for this Oregonator semiflow is also shown.

Attention plays a critical role in human visual experience. Furthermore, it has recently been demonstrated that attention can also play an important role in the context of applying artificial neural networks to a variety of tasks from fields such as computer vision and NLP. In this work we show that, by properly defining attention for convolutional neural networks, we can actually use this type of information in order to significantly improve the performance of a student CNN network by forcing it to mimic the attention maps of a powerful teacher network. To that end, we propose several novel methods of transferring attention, showing consistent improvement across a variety of datasets and convolutional neural network architectures.

Land use and land cover mapping are essential to various fields of study, including forestry, agriculture, and urban management. Using earth observation satellites both facilitate and accelerate the task. Lately, deep learning methods have proven to be excellent at automating the mapping via semantic image segmentation. However, because deep neural networks require large amounts of labeled data, it is not easy to exploit the full potential of satellite imagery. Additionally, the land cover tends to differ in appearance from one region to another; therefore, having labeled data from one location does not necessarily help in mapping others. Furthermore, satellite images come in various multispectral bands (the bands could range from RGB to over twelve bands). In this paper, we aim at using domain adaptation to solve the aforementioned problems. We applied a well-performing domain adaptation approach on datasets we have built using RGB images from Sentinel-2, WorldView-2, and Pleiades-1 satellites with Corine Land Cover as ground-truth labels. We have also used the DeepGlobe land cover dataset. Experiments show a significant improvement over results obtained without the use of domain adaptation. In some cases, an improvement of over 20% MIoU. At times it even manages to correct errors in the ground-truth labels.

An Unsupervised Method for Estimating Class Separability of Datasets with Application to LLMs Fine-Tuning

This paper proposes an unsupervised method that leverages topological characteristics of data manifolds to estimate class separability of the data without requiring labels. Experiments conducted in this paper on several datasets demonstrate a clear correlation and consistency between the class separability estimated by the proposed method with supervised metrics like Fisher Discriminant Ratio~(FDR) and cross-validation of a classifier, which both require labels. This can enable implementing learning paradigms aimed at learning from both labeled and unlabeled data, like semi-supervised and transductive learning. This would be particularly useful when we have limited labeled data and a relatively large unlabeled dataset that can be used to enhance the learning process. The proposed method is implemented for language model fine-tuning with automated stopping criterion by monitoring class separability of the embedding-space manifold in an unsupervised setting. The proposed methodology has been first validated on synthetic data, where the results show a clear consistency between class separability estimated by the proposed method and class separability computed by FDR. The method has been also implemented on both public and internal data. The results show that the proposed method can effectively aid -- without the need for labels -- a decision on when to stop or continue the fine-tuning of a language model and which fine-tuning iteration is expected to achieve a maximum classification performance through quantification of the class separability of the embedding manifold.

Table Detection for Visually Rich Document Images

Table Detection (TD) is a fundamental task towards visually rich document understanding. Current studies usually formulate the TD problem as an object detection problem, then leverage Intersection over Union (IoU) based metrics to evaluate the model performance and IoU-based loss functions to optimize the model. TD applications usually require the prediction results to cover all the table contents and avoid information loss. However, IoU and IoU-based loss functions cannot directly reflect the degree of information loss for the prediction results. Therefore, we propose to decouple IoU into a ground truth coverage term and a prediction coverage term, in which the former can be used to measure the information loss of the prediction results. Besides, tables in the documents are usually large, sparsely distributed, and have no overlaps because they are designed to summarize essential information to make it easy to read and interpret for human readers. Therefore, in this study, we use SparseR-CNN as the base model, and further improve the model by using Gaussian Noise Augmented Image Size region proposals and many-to-one label assignments. To demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed method and compare with state-of-the-art methods fairly, we conduct experiments and use IoU-based evaluation metrics to evaluate the model performance. The experimental results show that the proposed method can consistently outperform state-of-the-art methods under different IoU-based metric on a variety of datasets. We conduct further experiments to show the superiority of the proposed decoupled IoU for the TD applications by replacing the IoU-based loss functions and evaluation metrics with proposed decoupled IoU counterparts. The experimental results show that our proposed decoupled IoU loss can encourage the model to alleviate information loss.

One essential problem in skeleton-based action recognition is how to extract discriminative features over all skeleton joints. However, the complexity of the State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) models of this task tends to be exceedingly sophisticated and over-parameterized, where the low efficiency in model training and inference has obstructed the development in the field, especially for large-scale action datasets. In this work, we propose an efficient but strong baseline based on Graph Convolutional Network (GCN), where three main improvements are aggregated, i.e., early fused Multiple Input Branches (MIB), Residual GCN (ResGCN) with bottleneck structure and Part-wise Attention (PartAtt) block. Firstly, an MIB is designed to enrich informative skeleton features and remain compact representations at an early fusion stage. Then, inspired by the success of the ResNet architecture in Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a ResGCN module is introduced in GCN to alleviate computational costs and reduce learning difficulties in model training while maintain the model accuracy. Finally, a PartAtt block is proposed to discover the most essential body parts over a whole action sequence and obtain more explainable representations for different skeleton action sequences. Extensive experiments on two large-scale datasets, i.e., NTU RGB+D 60 and 120, validate that the proposed baseline slightly outperforms other SOTA models and meanwhile requires much fewer parameters during training and inference procedures, e.g., at most 34 times less than DGNN, which is one of the best SOTA methods.

Exploration efficiency is a challenging problem in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), as the policy learned by confederate MARL depends on the collaborative approach among multiple agents. Another important problem is the less informative reward restricts the learning speed of MARL compared with the informative label in supervised learning. In this work, we leverage on a novel communication method to guide MARL to accelerate exploration and propose a predictive network to forecast the reward of current state-action pair and use the guidance learned by the predictive network to modify the reward function. An improved prioritized experience replay is employed to better take advantage of the different knowledge learned by different agents which utilizes Time-difference (TD) error more effectively. Experimental results demonstrates that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing methods in cooperative multi-agent environments. We remark that this algorithm can be extended to supervised learning to speed up its training.

With an orbital distance comparable to that of Saturn in the solar system, \bpic b is the closest (semi-major axis $\simeq$\,9\,au) exoplanet that has been imaged to orbit a star. Thus it offers unique opportunities for detailed studies of its orbital, physical, and atmospheric properties, and of disk-planet interactions. With the exception of the discovery observations in 2003 with NaCo at the Very Large Telescope (VLT), all following astrometric measurements relative to \bpic have been obtained in the southwestern part of the orbit, which severely limits the determination of the planet's orbital parameters. We aimed at further constraining \bpic b orbital properties using more data, and, in particular, data taken in the northeastern part of the orbit. We used SPHERE at the VLT to precisely monitor the orbital motion of beta \bpic b since first light of the instrument in 2014. We were able to monitor the planet until November 2016, when its angular separation became too small (125 mas, i.e., 1.6\,au) and prevented further detection. We redetected \bpic b on the northeast side of the disk at a separation of 139\,mas and a PA of 30$^{\circ}$ in September 2018. The planetary orbit is now well constrained. With a semi-major axis (sma) of $a = 9.0 \pm 0.5$ au (1 $\sigma $), it definitely excludes previously reported possible long orbital periods, and excludes \bpic b as the origin of photometric variations that took place in 1981. We also refine the eccentricity and inclination of the planet. From an instrumental point of view, these data demonstrate that it is possible to detect, if they exist, young massive Jupiters that orbit at less than 2 au from a star that is 20 pc away.

It has been shown that coherent phonons can be used as a potent tool for controlling and enhancing optoelectronic and transport properties of nanostructured materials. Recent studies revealed that interaction of acoustic phonons and fast-moving carriers in semiconductor heterostructures can be accompanied by electron-phonon instabilities that cause ordinary and induced Cherenkov effects. However, the development of such instabilities is still poorly understood. Our study shows that other supersonic phenomena, beyond the Cherenkov instability, are possible for non-equilibrium charge transport in the miniband semiconductor superlattices (SLs) driven by an acoustic plane wave. Using semiclassical nonperturbative methods and elements of the bifurcation theory, we find the conditions for the onset of dynamical instabilities (bifurcations) which are caused by the emission of specific SL phonons by supersonic electrons, and their back action on the electrons. Notably, the underlying radiation mechanism is connected either to normal or anomalous Doppler effects in full accordance with the Ginzburg-Frank-Tamm theory. The appearance of induced Doppler effects is also discussed in relation to the formation of electron bunches propagating through the spatially periodic structure of the SL. When the amplitude of the acoustic wave exceeds certain threshold, the dynamical instabilities developed in the system are manifested as drift velocity reversals, resonances in sound attenuation and absolute negative mobility. We demonstrate that the discovered superluminal Doppler phenomena can be utilized for tunable broadband amplification and generation of GHz-THz electromagnetic waves, which creates a ground for development of novel phononic devices.

In recent years, by leveraging more data, computation, and diverse tasks, learned optimizers have achieved remarkable success in supervised learning, outperforming classical hand-designed optimizers. Reinforcement learning (RL) is essentially different from supervised learning and in practice these learned optimizers do not work well even in simple RL tasks. We investigate this phenomenon and identity three issues. First, the gradients of an RL agent vary across a wide range in logarithms while their absolute values are in a small range, making neural networks hard to obtain accurate parameter updates. Second, the agent-gradient distribution is non-independent and identically distributed, leading to inefficient meta-training. Finally, due to highly stochastic agent-environment interactions, the agent-gradients have high bias and variance, which increase the difficulty of learning an optimizer for RL. We propose gradient processing, pipeline training, and a novel optimizer structure with good inductive bias to address these issues. By applying these techniques, for the first time, we show that learning an optimizer for RL from scratch is possible. Although only trained in toy tasks, our learned optimizer can generalize to unseen complex tasks in Brax.

This study introduces a simplified model for bridge-vehicle interaction for medium- to long-span bridges subject to random traffic loads. Previous studies have focused on calculating the exact response of the vehicle or the bridge based on an interaction force derived from the compatibility between two systems. This process requires multiple iterations per time step per vehicle until the compatibility is reached. When a network of vehicles is considered, the compatibility equation turns to a system of coupled equations which dramatically increases the complexity of the convergence process. In this study, we simplify the problem into two sub-problems that are decoupled: (a) a bridge subject to random Gaussian excitation, and (b) individual sensing agents that are subject to a linear superposition of the bridge response and the road profile roughness. The study provides sufficient evidence to confirm the simulation approach is valid with a minimal error when the bridge span is medium to long, and the spatio-temporal load pattern can be modeled as random Gaussian. Quantitatively, the proposed approach is over 1,000 times more computationally efficient when compared to the conventional approach for a 500 m long bridge, with response prediction errors below $0.1\%$.

However, many objects are hidden by strongly scattering media such as rough wall corners or biological tissues that scramble light paths, create speckle patterns and hinder object's visualization, let alone super-resolution imaging. Here, we realize a method to do non-invasive super-resolution imaging through scattering media based on stochastic optical scattering localization imaging (SOSLI) technique. Simply by capturing multiple speckle patterns of photo-switchable emitters in our demonstration, the stochastic approach utilizes the speckle correlation properties of scattering media to retrieve an image with more than five-fold resolution enhancement compared to the diffraction limit, while posing no fundamental limit in achieving higher spatial resolution. More importantly, we demonstrate our SOSLI to do non-invasive super-resolution imaging through not only optical diffusers, i.e. static scattering media, but also biological tissues, i.e. dynamic scattering media with decorrelation of up to 80%. Our approach paves the way to non-invasively visualize various samples behind scattering media at unprecedented levels of detail.

We design a strange correlator for the recently discovered average symmetry-protected topological (ASPT) phases in $1d$ and $2d$. The strange correlator has long-range or power-law behavior if the density matrix $\rho$ is in a nontrivial ASPT phase. In all the $2d$ cases considered here, we find interesting connections between strange correlators and correlation functions in $2d$ loop models, based on which we can extract exact scaling exponents of the strange correlators.

We propose a new approach to study the Kronecker coefficients by using the Schur-Weyl duality between the symmetric group and the partition algebra. We explain the limiting behavior and associated bounds in the context of the partition algebra. Our analysis leads to a uniform description of the Kronecker coefficients when one of the indexing partitions is a hook or a two-part partition.

It is a new proof, which solves the Yamabe problem for $ n \geqslant 3 $ in a uniform argument, beyonds the traditional analysis with respect to the minimization of functionals.

We study observational constraints on the non-metricity $f(Q)$-gravity which reproduces an exact $\Lambda$CDM background expansion history while modifying the evolution of linear perturbations. To this purpose we use Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO), redshift-space distortions (RSD), supernovae type Ia (SNIa), galaxy clustering (GC) and weak gravitational lensing (WL) measurements. We set stringent constraints on the parameter of the model controlling the modifications to the gravitational interaction at linear perturbation level. We find the model to be statistically preferred by data over the $\Lambda$CDM according to the $\chi^2$ and deviance information criterion statistics for the combination with CMB, BAO, RSD and SNIa. This is mostly associated to a better fit to the low-$\ell$ tail of CMB temperature anisotropies.

The paper is concerned with two-person games with saddle point. We investigate the limits of value functions for long-time-average payoff, discounted average payoff, and the payoff that follows a probability density. Most of our assumptions restrict the dynamics of games. In particular, we assume the closedness of strategies under concatenation. It is also necessary for the value function to satisfy Bellman's optimality principle, even if in a weakened, asymptotic sense. We provide two results. The first one is a uniform Tauber result for games: if the value functions for long-time-average payoff converge uniformly, then there exists the uniform limit for probability densities from a sufficiently broad set; moreover, these limits coincide. The second one is the uniform Abel result: if a uniform limit for self-similar densities exists, then the uniform limit for long-time average payoff also exists, and they coincide.

A perfect matching in a graph $G$ is a set of nonadjacent edges covering every vertex of $G$. Motivated by recent progress on the relations between the eigenvalues and the matching number of a graph, in this paper, we aim to present a distance spectral radius condition to guarantee the existence of a perfect matching. Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex connected graph where $n$ is even and $\lambda_{1}(D(G))$ be the distance spectral radius of $G$. Then the following statements are true. \noindent$\rm{I)}$ If $4\le n\le10$ and ${\lambda }_{1} (D\left(G\right))\le {\lambda }_{1} (D(S_{n,{\frac{n}{2}}-1}))$, then $G$ contains a perfect matching unless $G\cong S_{n,{\frac{n}{2}-1}}$ where $S_{n,{\frac{n}{2}-1}}\cong K_{{\frac{n}{2}-1}}\vee ({\frac{n}{2}+1})K_1$. \noindent$\rm{II)}$ If $n\ge 12$ and ${\lambda }_{1} (D\left(G\right))\le {\lambda }_{1} (D(G^*))$, then $G$ contains a perfect matching unless $G\cong G^*$ where $G^*\cong K_1\vee (K_{n-3}\cup2K_1)$. Moreover, if $G$ is a connected $2n$-vertex balanced bipartite graph with $\lambda_{1}(D(G))\le \lambda_{1}(D(B_{n-1,n-2})) $, then $G$ contains a perfect matching, unless $G\cong B_{n-1,n-2}$ where $B_{n-1,n-2}$ is obtained from $K_{n,n-2}$ by attaching two pendent vertices to a vertex in the $n$-vertex part.

Revisiting QMIX: Discriminative Credit Assignment by Gradient Entropy Regularization

In cooperative multi-agent systems, agents jointly take actions and receive a team reward instead of individual rewards. In the absence of individual reward signals, credit assignment mechanisms are usually introduced to discriminate the contributions of different agents so as to achieve effective cooperation. Recently, the value decomposition paradigm has been widely adopted to realize credit assignment, and QMIX has become the state-of-the-art solution. In this paper, we revisit QMIX from two aspects. First, we propose a new perspective on credit assignment measurement and empirically show that QMIX suffers limited discriminability on the assignment of credits to agents. Second, we propose a gradient entropy regularization with QMIX to realize a discriminative credit assignment, thereby improving the overall performance. The experiments demonstrate that our approach can comparatively improve learning efficiency and achieve better performance.

Photovoltaic Surfaces to Reverse Global Warming

Climate changes and its many associated impacts are one of the most critical global challenges. Photovoltaics has been instrumental in mitigation of CO$_2$ through the generation of electricity. However, the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 $^\circ$C increasingly requires additional approaches. The paper presents how PV surfaces can be designed to reverse the Earth's radiative imbalance from increased greenhouse gasses that lead to higher global temperatures. The new PV surface generate electricity, reflect sub-band gap radiation, minimize their temperature, generate thermal radiation and emit additional IR through the atmospheric, with these processes totaling 650 Wm$^{-2}$. This is realized by: (1) PV system efficiency at operating temperature $>$ 20 \% and sub-band gap reflection of 150 Wm$^{-2}$ for a total of 350 Wm$^{-2}$ (2) Thermally emitted radiation (radiative cooling) of 150 Wm$^{-2}$; and (3) Active IR emission through an atmospheric window at 1.5 $\mu$ of 150 Wm$^{-2}$. With such PV surfaces, we show that 10 TW of installed PV can reverse global warming. Using PV to balance global temperatures introduces additional considerations for PV, focusing on high efficiency, particularly high efficiency at operating temperatures, radiative cooling, and new processes for 1.5 $\mu$ emission. We find that depending on their design, PV panels can increase or decrease global temperatures.

We study single top quark production in association with a $WZ$ pair at the LHC in the context of the Standard Model (SM) and the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). A significant advantage of $tWZ$ compared to other EW top production processes is its sensitivity to unitarity-violating behaviour induced in its $2\to2$ sub-amplitudes through modified EW interactions. At NLO in QCD, $tWZ$ interferes with $t\bar{t}Z$ and $t\bar{t}$ and a method to meaningfully separate it from these overlapping processes needs to be employed. In order to define $tWZ$ production for total rates and differential distributions, we consider the approaches proposed in the literature for similar cases and find that diagram-removal procedures provide reliable results both for the SM and the SMEFT in a suitably defined phase-space region. We provide robust results for total and differential cross sections for $tWZ$ at 13 TeV, including the six relevant dimension-6 operators ($\mathcal{O}_{tW}$,$\mathcal{O}_{tZ}$,$\mathcal{O}_{tG}$,$\mathcal{O}_{\phi Q}^{(-)}$,$\mathcal{O}_{\phi Q}^{(3)}$,$\mathcal{O}_{\phi t}$), also matching short-distance events to parton shower.

I apply the set-up of Lax-Phillips Scattering Theory to a non-archimedean local field. It is possible to choose the outgoing space and the incoming space to be Fourier transforms of each other. Key elements of the Lax-Phillips theory are seen to make sense and to have the expected interrelations: the scattering matrix S, the projection K to the interacting space, the contraction semi-group Z and the time delay operator T. The scattering matrix is causal, its analytic continuation has the expected poles and zeros, and its phase derivative is the (non-negative) spectral function of T, which is also the restriction to the diagonal of the kernel of K. The contraction semi-group Z is related to S (and T) through a trace formula. Introducing an odd-even grading on the interacting space allows to express the Weil local explicit formula in terms of a ``supertrace''. I also apply my methods to the evaluation of a trace considered by Connes.

For physicists: For supersymmetric quantum mechanics, there are cases when a mod-2 Witten index can be defined, even when a more ordinary $\mathbb{Z}$-valued Witten index vanishes. Similarly, for 2d supersymmetric quantum field theories, there are cases when a mod-2 elliptic genus can be defined, even when a more ordinary elliptic genus vanishes. We study such mod-2 elliptic genera in the context of $\mathcal{N}=(0,1)$ supersymmetry, and show that they are characterized by mod-2 reductions of integral modular forms, under some assumptions. For mathematicians: We study the image of the standard homomorphism $\pi_n \mathrm{TMF}\to \pi_n \mathrm{KO}((q))\simeq \mathbb{Z}/2((q))$ for $n=8k+1$ or $8k+2$, by relating them to the mod-2 reductions of integral modular forms.

In an attempt to unfold (if any) a possible connection between two apparently uncorrelated sectors, namely neutrino and dark matter, we consider the type-I seesaw and a fermion singlet dark matter to start with. Our construction suggests that there exists a scalar field mediator between these two sectors whose vacuum expectation value not only generates the mass of the dark matter, but also takes part in the neutrino mass generation. While the choice of $Z_4$ symmetry allows us to establish the framework, the vacuum expectation value of the mediator field breaks $Z_4$ to a remnant $Z_2$, that is responsible to keep dark matter stable. Therefore, the observed light neutrino masses and relic abundance constraint on the dark matter, allows us to predict the heavy seesaw scale as illustrated in this paper.The methodology to connect dark matter and neutrino sector, as introduced here, is a generic one and can be applied to other possible neutrino mass generation mechanism and different dark matter candidate(s).

Anisotropic hydrodynamics is a reorganization of the relativistic hydrodynamics expansion, with the leading order already containing substantial momentum-space anisotropies. The latter are a cause of concern in the traditional viscous hydrodynamics, since large momentum anisotropies generated in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions are not consistent with the hypothesis of small deviations from an isotropic background, i.e., from the local equilibrium distribution. We discuss the leading order of the expansion, presenting a new formulation for the (1+1)--dimensional case, namely, for the longitudinally boost invariant and cylindrically symmetric flow. This new approach is consistent with the well established framework of Israel and Stewart in the close to equilibrium limit (where we expect viscous hydrodynamics to work well). If we consider the (0+1)--dimensional case, that is, transversally homogeneous and longitudinally boost invariant flow, {the new form of anisotropic hydrodynamics leads to better agreement with known solutions} of the Boltzmann equation than the previous formulations, especially when we consider finite mass particles.

Spin fluctuations are widely believed to play an important role in the superconducting mechanisms of unconventional high-temperature superconductors. Spin fluctuations have been observed in iron-based superconductors as well. However, in some iron-based superconductors such as LaFePO$_{0.9}$, they have not been observed by inelastic neutron scattering (INS). LaFePO$_{0.9}$ is an iron-based superconductor with a low superconducting transition temperature ($T_{\rm c}$= 5 K), where line nodes are observed in the superconducting gap function. The line-node symmetry typically originates from sign reversal of the order parameter in spin-fluctuation-mediated superconductivity. This contradiction has been a long-standing mystery of this superconductor. Herein, spin fluctuations were found at high energies such as 30$-$50 meV with comparable intensities to an optimally doped LaFeAs(O,F). Based on this finding, the line-node symmetry can be explained naturally as spin-fluctuation-mediated superconductivity.

We illustrate the potential of a very high energy lepton collider (from 10 to 30 TeV center of mass energy) to explore new physics indirectly in the vector boson fusion double Higgs production process and in direct diboson production at high energy. Double Higgs production is found to be sensitive to the anomalous Higgs trilinear coupling at the percent level, and to the Higgs compositeness $\xi$ parameter at the per mille or sub-per mille level thanks to the measurement of the cross-section in the di-Higgs high invariant mass tail. High energy diboson (and tri-boson) production is sensitive to Higgs-lepton contact interaction operators at a scale of several tens or hundred TeV, corresponding to a reach on the Higgs compositeness scale well above the one of any other future collider project currently under discussion. This result follows from the unique capability of the very high energy lepton collider to measure Electroweak cross-sections at 10 TeV energy or more, where the effect of new physics at even higher energy is amplified. The general lesson is that the standard path towards precision physics, based on measurements of high-statistics processes such as single and double Higgs production, is accompanied at the very high energy lepton collider by a second strategy based on measurements at the highest available energy.

Population protocols are a relatively novel computational model in which very resource-limited anonymous agents interact in pairs with the goal of computing predicates. We consider the probabilistic version of this model, which naturally allows to consider the setup in which a small probability of an incorrect output is tolerated. The main focus of this thesis is the question of confident leader election, which is an extension of the regular leader election problem with an extra requirement for the eventual leader to detect its uniqueness. Having a confident leader allows the population protocols to determine the convergence of its computations. This behaviour of the model is highly beneficial and was shown to be feasible when the original model is extended in various ways. We show that it takes a linear in terms of the population size number of interactions for a probabilistic population protocol to have a non-zero fraction of agents in all reachable states, starting from a configuration with all agents in the same state. This leads us to a conclusion that confident leader election is out of reach even with the probabilistic version of the model.
