In this work, we present DiffVoice, a novel text-to-speech model based on latent diffusion. We propose to first encode speech signals into a phoneme-rate latent representation with a variational autoencoder enhanced by adversarial training, and then jointly model the duration and the latent representation with a diffusion model. Subjective evaluations on LJSpeech and LibriTTS datasets demonstrate that our method beats the best publicly available systems in naturalness. By adopting recent generative inverse problem solving algorithms for diffusion models, DiffVoice achieves the state-of-the-art performance in text-based speech editing, and zero-shot adaptation.

There are several remarkable points, defined for polygons and multisets of points in the plane, called centers (such as the centroid). To make possible their study, there exists a formal definition for the concept of center in both cases. In this paper, the relation between symmetries of polygons and multisets of points in the plane and the coincidence and collinearity of their centers is studied. First, a precise statement for the problem is given. Then, it is proved that, given a polygon or a multiset of points in the plane, a given point in the plane is a center for this object if and only if it belongs to the set of points fixed by its group of symmetries.

Reinforcement learning has recently shown promise as a technique for training an artificial neural network to parse sentences in some unknown format, through a body of work known as RL-GRIT. A key aspect of the RL-GRIT approach is that rather than explicitly inferring a grammar that describes the format, the neural network learns to perform various parsing actions (such as merging two tokens) over a corpus of sentences, with the goal of maximizing the estimated frequency of the resulting parse structures. This can allow the learning process to more easily explore different action choices, since a given choice may change the optimality of the parse (as expressed by the total reward), but will not result in the failure to parse a sentence. However, this also presents a limitation: because the trained neural network can successfully parse any sentence, it cannot be directly used to identify sentences that deviate from the format of the training sentences, i.e., that are anomalous. In this paper, we address this limitation by presenting procedures for extracting production rules from the neural network, and for using these rules to determine whether a given sentence is nominal or anomalous. When a sentence is anomalous, an attempt is made to identify the location of the anomaly. We empirically demonstrate that our approach is capable of grammatical inference and anomaly detection for both non-regular formats and those containing regions of high randomness/entropy. While a format with high randomness typically requires large sets of production rules, we propose a two pass grammatical inference method to generate parsimonious rule sets for such formats. By further improving parser learning, and leveraging the presented rule extraction and anomaly detection algorithms, one might begin to understand common errors, either benign or malicious, in practical formats.

We examine several retro-reflecting optical elements, each involving two reflections. In the case of a hollow metallic cone having an apex angle of 90\degree, a circularly-polarized incident beam acquires, upon reflection, the opposite spin angular momentum. However, no angular momentum is transferred to the cone, because the reflected beam picks up an orbital angular momentum that is twice as large but opposite in direction to that of its spin. A 90\degree cone made of a transparent material in which the incident light suffers two total internal reflections before returning, may be designed to endow the retro-reflected beam with different mixtures of orbital and spin angular momenta. Under no circumstances, however, is it possible to transfer angular momentum from the light beam to the cone without either allowing absorption or breaking the axial symmetry of the cone. A simple example of broken symmetry is provided by a wedge-shaped metallic reflector having an apex angle of 90\degree, which picks up angular momentum upon reflecting a circularly-polarized incident beam.

We outline key elements of a theory that accounts for anomalous properties of the PuCoGa$_5$ and PuRhGa$_5$ compounds as a consequence of a two-body interference between two Kondo screening channels. Virtual valence fluctuations of the magnetic Pu configurations create two conduction channels of different symmetry. Using the symplectic large-N approach, we are able to demonstrate our pairing mechanism in an exactly solvable large-N limit. The critical temperature reaches its maximum when the energy levels of excited valence configurations are almost degenerate. The symmetry of the order parameter is determined by the product of the Wannier form factors in the interfering conduction channels.

In a class of neutrino mass models with modular flavor symmetries, it has been observed that CP symmetry is preserved at the fixed point (or stabilizer) of the modulus parameter $\tau = {\rm i}$, whereas significant CP violation emerges within the neighbourhood of this stabilizer. In this paper, we first construct a viable model with the modular $A^\prime_5$ symmetry, and explore the phenomenological implications for lepton masses and flavor mixing. Then, we introduce explicit perturbations to the stabilizer at $\tau = {\rm i}$, and present both numerical and analytical results to understand why a small deviation from the stabilizer leads to large CP violation. As low-energy observables are very sensitive to the perturbations to model parameters, we further demonstrate that the renormalization-group running effects play an important role in confronting theoretical predictions at the high-energy scale with experimental measurements at the low-energy scale.

Twin kilo-Hertz Quasi-periodic oscillation with ratio 3/2 has been found in some compact sources, which is believed to be related with their innermost regions of accretion disks, and hence carrying information of gravity in strong regime. However, more complicated phenomena have been revealed, e.g., the twin kilo-Hertz Quasi-periodic oscillation of 4U 1820-20 start increasing at certain spectral state and then saturate upon reaching certain level. Moreover, such quasi-periodic oscillation is not uniform and has multiple peaks, which displays random feature. This letter suggests that these challenges could be easy to understand if the quasi-periodic oscillation originates in jets of compact objects. With a seed periodicity originating in either neutron star spin or accretion, shell collision develops in jet. The corresponding twin kilo-Hertz quasi-periodic oscillations automatically carry random feature, vary in frequency; and couple with luminosity, spectral properties, which well account for the observation of 4U 1820-30. New quasi-periodic oscillation of 4U 1820-30 is predicted, which can test the validity of this model. And the scenario is applicable to other compact object like AGN.

Radial pulsations of neutron stars and strange quark stars with nuclear crust are studied. The avoided crossing phenomenon occurring for the radial modes is found and discussed. Neutron star models are constructed using a realistic equation of state of dense matter and strange star models using a phenomenological bag model of quark matter. The eigenfrequencies of the three lowest modes of linear, adiabatic pulsations are calculated, using the relativistic equations for the radial oscillations.

We show that the Anderson model has a transition from localization to delocalization at exactly 2 dimensional growth rate on antitrees with normalized edge weights which are certain discrete graphs. The kinetic part has a one-dimensional structure allowing a description through transfer matrices which involve some Schur complement. For such operators we introduce the notion of having one propagating channel and extend theorems from the theory of one-dimensional Jacobi operators that relate the behavior of transfer matrices with the spectrum. These theorems are then applied to the considered model. In essence, in a certain energy region the kinetic part averages the random potentials along shells and the transfer matrices behave similar as for a one-dimensional operator with random potential of decaying variance. At $d$ dimensional growth for $d>2$ this effective decay is strong enough to obtain absolutely continuous spectrum, whereas for some uniform $d$ dimensional growth with $d<2$ one has pure point spectrum in this energy region. At exactly uniform $2$ dimensional growth also some singular continuous spectrum appears, at least at small disorder. As a corollary we also obtain a change from singular spectrum ($d\leq 2$) to absolutely continuous spectrum ($d\geq 3)$ for random operators of the type $\mathcal{P}_r \Delta_d \mathcal{P}_r+\lambda \mathcal{V}$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, where $\mathcal{P}_r$ is an orthogonal radial projection, $\Delta_d$ the discrete adjacency operator (Laplacian) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and $\lambda \mathcal{V}$ a random potential.

We present two epochs of MPG/ESO 2.2m GROND simultaneous 6-band ($r'i'z'JHK$) photometric monitoring of the closest known L/T transition brown dwarf binary WISE J104915.57-531906.1AB. We report here the first resolved variability monitoring of both the T0.5 and L7.5 components. We obtained 4 hours of focused observations on the night of UT 2013-04-22, as well as 4 hours of defocused (unresolved) observations on the night of UT 2013-04-16. We note a number of robust trends in our light curves. The $r'$ and $i'$ light curves appear to be anticorrelated with $z'$ and $H$ for the T0.5 component and in the unresolved lightcurve. In the defocused dataset, $J$ appears correlated with $z'$ and $H$ and anticorrelated with $r'$ and $i'$, while in the focused dataset we measure no variability for $J$ at the level of our photometric precision, likely due to evolving weather phenomena. In our focused T0.5 component lightcurve, the $K$ band lightcurve displays a significant phase offset relative to both $H$ and $z'$. We argue that the measured phase offsets are correlated with atmospheric pressure probed at each band, as estimated from 1D atmospheric models. We also report low-amplitude variability in $i'$ and $z'$ intrinsic to the L7.5 component.

We discuss joint temporal and contemporaneous aggregation of $N$ independent copies of AR(1) process with random-coefficient $a \in [0,1)$ when $N$ and time scale $n$ increase at different rate. Assuming that $a$ has a density, regularly varying at $a = 1$ with exponent $-1 < \beta < 1$, different joint limits of normalized aggregated partial sums are shown to exist when $N^{1/(1+\beta)}/n$ tends to (i) $\infty$, (ii) 0, (iii) $0 < \mu < \infty$. The limit process arising under (iii) admits a Poisson integral representation on $(0,\infty) \times C(\mathbb{R})$ and enjoys "intermediate" properties between fractional Brownian motion limit in (i) and sub-Gaussian limit in (ii).

We discuss hadron production in the forward rapidity region in ultraperipheral proton-lead collisions at the LHC and proton-gold collisions at RHIC. Our discussion is based on the Monte Carlo simulations of the interactions of virtual photons emitted by a fast moving nucleus with a proton beam. We simulate the virtual photon flux with the STARLIGHT event generator and then particle production with the SOPHIA, DPMJET, and PYTHIA event generators. We show the rapidity distributions of charged and neutral particles, and the momentum distributions of neutral pions and neutrons at forward rapidities. According to the Monte Carlo simulations, we find large cross sections of ultraperipheral collisions for particle production especially in the very forward region, leading to substantial background contributions to investigations of collective nuclear effects and spin physics. Finally we can distinguish between proton-nucleus inelastic interactions and ultraperipheral collisions with additional requirements of either of the charged particles at midrapidity and a certain level of activities at negative forward rapidity.

Recent experimental work has realized a new insulating state of samarium nickelate (SmNiO$_3$), accessible in a reversible manner via high-density electron doping. To elucidate this behavior, we use the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) + U method to study the effect of added electrons on the crystal and electronic structure of SmNiO$_3$. First, we track the changes in the crystal and electronic structure with added electrons compensated by a uniform positive background charge at concentrations of $\frac{1}{4}$, $\frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{3}{4}$, and 1 electrons per Ni. The change in electron concentration does not rigidly shift the Fermi energy; rather, the added electrons localize on NiO$_6$ octahedra causing an on-site Mott transition and a change in the density of states resulting in a large gap between the occupied and unoccupied Ni $e_g$ orbitals at full doping. This evolution of the density of states is essentially unchanged when the added electrons are introduced by doping with interstitial H or Li ions.

A Decentralized Multi-UAV Spatio-Temporal Multi-Task Allocation Approach for Perimeter Defense

This paper provides a new solution approach to a multi-player perimeter defense game, in which the intruders' team tries to enter the territory, and a team of defenders protects the territory by capturing intruders on the perimeter of the territory. The objective of the defenders is to detect and capture the intruders before the intruders enter the territory. Each defender independently senses the intruder and computes his trajectory to capture the assigned intruders in a cooperative fashion. The intruder is estimated to reach a specific location on the perimeter at a specific time. Each intruder is viewed as a spatio-temporal task, and the defenders are assigned to execute these spatio-temporal tasks. At any given time, the perimeter defense problem is converted into a Decentralized Multi-UAV Spatio-Temporal Multi-Task Allocation (DMUST-MTA) problem. The cost of executing a task for a trajectory is defined by a composite cost function of both the spatial and temporal components. In this paper, a decentralized consensus-based bundle algorithm has been modified to solve the spatio-temporal multi-task allocation problem, and the performance evaluation of the proposed approach is carried out based on Monte-Carlo simulations. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach to solve the perimeter defense game under different scenarios. Performance comparison with a state-of-the-art centralized approach with full observability, clearly indicates that DMUST-MTA achieves similar performance in a decentralized way with partial observability conditions with a lesser computational time and easy scaling up.

We formulate diagrammatic rules for many-body perturbation theory which uses Kohn-Sham (KS) Green's functions as basic propagators. The diagram technique allows to study the properties of the dynamic nonlocal exchange-correlation (xc) kernel $f_{xc}$. We show that the spatial non-locality of $f_{xc}$ is strongly frequency-dependent. In particular, in extended systems the non-locality range diverges at the excitation energies. This divergency is related to the discontinuity of the xc potential.

We consider biased $(1:b)$ Avoider-Enforcer games in the monotone and strict versions. In particular, we show that Avoider can keep his graph being a forest for every but maybe the last round of the game if $b \geq 200 n \ln n$. By this we obtain essentially optimal upper bounds on the threshold biases for the non-planarity game, the non-$k$-colorability game, and the $K_t$-minor game thus addressing a question and improving the results of Hefetz, Krivelevich, Stojakovi\'c, and Szab\'o. Moreover, we give a slight improvement for the lower bound in the non-planarity game.

3D scan geometry and CAD models often contain complementary information towards understanding environments, which could be leveraged through establishing a mapping between the two domains. However, this is a challenging task due to strong, lower-level differences between scan and CAD geometry. We propose a novel approach to learn a joint embedding space between scan and CAD geometry, where semantically similar objects from both domains lie close together. To achieve this, we introduce a new 3D CNN-based approach to learn a joint embedding space representing object similarities across these domains. To learn a shared space where scan objects and CAD models can interlace, we propose a stacked hourglass approach to separate foreground and background from a scan object, and transform it to a complete, CAD-like representation to produce a shared embedding space. This embedding space can then be used for CAD model retrieval; to further enable this task, we introduce a new dataset of ranked scan-CAD similarity annotations, enabling new, fine-grained evaluation of CAD model retrieval to cluttered, noisy, partial scans. Our learned joint embedding outperforms current state of the art for CAD model retrieval by 12% in instance retrieval accuracy.

It was shown recently that the original SU(5) theory of Georgi and Glashow, augmented with an adjoint fermionic multiplet 24_F, can be made compatible both with neutrino masses and gauge coupling unification. In particular, the model predicts that either electroweak-triplet states are light, within the reach of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), or proton decay will become accessible at the next generation of megaton-scale facilities. In this paper, we present the computation of the correlation function between the electroweak-triplet masses and the unification scale at the next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO). Such an accuracy on the theory side is necessary in order to settle the convergence of the perturbative expansion and to match the experimental precision on the determination of the electroweak gauge couplings at the Z-boson mass scale.

The historical process of the genesis of the extensive or substance-like quantities took place in two steps. First, global conservation or non-conservation was discovered. Only later did it become possible to formulate the balance locally in the form of a continuity equation. This process can be clearly seen in energy, momentum, and entropy. After a long and intricate history, the quantitative description of the local balance has been achieved for all of the three quantities in a surprisingly short period of time around the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. The new ideas could have simplified considerably the teaching of energy, momentum, and entropy. However, in all three cases, today's language of physics remained essentially the same as it was at the time when a local balancing was not yet possible.

Network analysis is becoming one of the most active research areas in statistics. Significant advances have been made recently on developing theories, methodologies and algorithms for analyzing networks. However, there has been little fundamental study on optimal estimation. In this paper, we establish optimal rate of convergence for graphon estimation. For the stochastic block model with $k$ clusters, we show that the optimal rate under the mean squared error is $n^{-1}\log k+k^2/n^2$. The minimax upper bound improves the existing results in literature through a technique of solving a quadratic equation. When $k\leq\sqrt{n\log n}$, as the number of the cluster $k$ grows, the minimax rate grows slowly with only a logarithmic order $n^{-1}\log k$. A key step to establish the lower bound is to construct a novel subset of the parameter space and then apply Fano's lemma, from which we see a clear distinction of the nonparametric graphon estimation problem from classical nonparametric regression, due to the lack of identifiability of the order of nodes in exchangeable random graph models. As an immediate application, we consider nonparametric graphon estimation in a H\"{o}lder class with smoothness $\alpha$. When the smoothness $\alpha\geq1$, the optimal rate of convergence is $n^{-1}\log n$, independent of $\alpha$, while for $\alpha\in(0,1)$, the rate is $n^{-2\alpha/(\alpha+1)}$, which is, to our surprise, identical to the classical nonparametric rate.

Motivated by applications of distributed linear estimation, distributed control and distributed optimization, we consider the question of designing linear iterative algorithms for computing the average of numbers in a network. Specifically, our interest is in designing such an algorithm with the fastest rate of convergence given the topological constraints of the network. As the main result of this paper, we design an algorithm with the fastest possible rate of convergence using a non-reversible Markov chain on the given network graph. We construct such a Markov chain by transforming the standard Markov chain, which is obtained using the Metropolis-Hastings method. We call this novel transformation pseudo-lifting. We apply our method to graphs with geometry, or graphs with doubling dimension. Specifically, the convergence time of our algorithm (equivalently, the mixing time of our Markov chain) is proportional to the diameter of the network graph and hence optimal. As a byproduct, our result provides the fastest mixing Markov chain given the network topological constraints, and should naturally find their applications in the context of distributed optimization, estimation and control.

Despite its mathematical complexity, the multiple gravitational lens can be studied in detail in every situation where a perturbative approach is possible. In this paper, we examine the caustics of a system with a lens very far from the others with respect to their Einstein radii, and a system where mutual distances between lenses are small compared to the Einstein radius of the total mass. Finally we review the case of a planetary system adding some new information (area of caustics, duality and higher order terms).

We study the motion of phase interfaces in a diffusive lattice equation with bistable nonlinearity and derive a free boundary problem with hysteresis to describe the macroscopic evolution in the parabolic scaling limit. The first part of the paper deals with general bistable nonlinearities and is restricted to numerical experiments and heuristic arguments. We discuss the formation of macroscopic data and present numerical evidence for pinning, depinning, and annihilation of interfaces. Afterwards we identify a generalized Stefan condition along with a hysteretic flow rule that characterize the dynamics of both standing and moving interfaces. In the second part, we rigorously justify the limit dynamics for single-interface data and a special piecewise affine nonlinearity. We prove persistence of such data, derive upper bounds for the macroscopic interface speed, and show that the macroscopic limit can indeed be described by the free boundary problem. The fundamental ingredient to our proofs is a representation formula that links the solutions of the nonlinear lattice to the discrete heat kernel and enables us to derive macroscopic compactness results in the space of continuous functions.

There are many applications available for personal computers and mobile devices that facilitate users in meeting potential partners. There is, however, a risk associated with the level of anonymity on using instant message applications, because there exists the potential for predators to attract and lure vulnerable users. Today Instant Messaging within a Virtual Universe (IMVU) combines custom avatars, chat or instant message (IM), community, content creation, commerce, and anonymity. IMVU is also being exploited by criminals to commit a wide variety of offenses. However, there are very few researches on digital forensic acquisition of IMVU applications. In this paper, we discuss first of all on challenges of IMVU forensics. We present a forensic acquisition of an IMVU 3D application as a case study. We also describe and analyse our experiments with this application.

In this discussion and in the classification of the case $\#(S)= 5$, $X\cong \mathbb {P}^1\times \mathbb {P}^1\times \mathbb {P}^1$ we use the rational normal curves

We study orbital Mott transition in two dimensional pyrochlore lattice, using a two orbital Hubbard model with only inter-orbital electronic hopping. We use a real space Monte Carlo based approach to study the model at finite temperature, and establish temperature-interaction phase diagrams that highlight the Mott transition, orbital ordering, and spectral trends, and possible window of pseudo gap. Due to only inter-orbital hopping, the Mott insulator `generates' ferro exchange resulting in ferro-orbital ordering, with T$_{corr}/t$ peaked at $\approx$ 0.2 around $U/t \approx 6$. The optical conductivity shows unusual two peak feature due to two dimensional pyrochlore lattice.

In weakly coupled BCS superconductors, only electrons within a tiny energy window around the Fermi energy, $E_F$, form Cooper pairs. This may not be the case in strong coupling superconductors such as cuprates, FeSe, SrTiO$_3$ or cold atom condensates where the pairing scale, $E_B$, becomes comparable or even larger than $E_F$. In cuprates, for example, a plausible candidate for the pseudogap state at low doping is a fluctuating pair density wave, but no microscopic model has yet been found which supports such a state. In this work, we write an analytically solvable model to examine pairing phases in the strongly coupled regime and in the presence of anisotropic interactions. Already for moderate coupling we find an unusual finite temperature phase, below an instability temperature $T_i$, where local pair correlations have non-zero center-of-mass momentum but lack long-range order. At low temperature, this fluctuating pair density wave can condense either to a uniform $d$-wave superconductor or the widely postulated pair-density wave phase depending on the interaction strength. Our minimal model offers a unified microscopic framework to understand the emergence of both fluctuating and long range pair density waves in realistic systems.

We design and test an octopus-inspired flexible hull robot that demonstrates outstanding fast-starting performance. The robot is hyper-inflated with water, and then rapidly deflates to expel the fluid so as to power the escape maneuver. Using this robot we verify for the first time in laboratory testing that rapid size-change can substantially reduce separation in bluff bodies traveling several body lengths, and recover fluid energy which can be employed to improve the propulsive performance. The robot is found to experience speeds over ten body lengths per second, exceeding that of a similarly propelled optimally streamlined rigid rocket. The peak net thrust force on the robot is more than 2.6 times that on an optimal rigid body performing the same maneuver, experimentally demonstrating large energy recovery and enabling acceleration greater than 14 body lengths per second squared. Finally, over 53% of the available energy is converted into payload kinetic energy, a performance that exceeds the estimated energy conversion efficiency of fast-starting fish. The Reynolds number based on final speed and robot length is $Re \approx 700,000$. We use the experimental data to establish a fundamental deflation scaling parameter $\sigma^*$ which characterizes the mechanisms of flow control via shape change. Based on this scaling parameter, we find that the fast-starting performance improves with increasing size.

The strong-property-fluctuation theory (SPFT) provides a sophisticated means of estimating the effective constitutive parameters of a homogenized composite material (HCM), which takes account of the statistical distribution of the component particles. We present an extended version of the third-order SPFT in which the component particles are represented as depolarization regions of nonzero volume. Numerical results are provided for a bianisotropic homogenization scenario wherein the HCM is a Faraday chiral medium. Thereby, convergence of the extended SPFT at the second-order level of approximation is demonstrated within the long-wavelength regime.

We present a 1.75-GHz self-referenceable frequency comb from a vertical external-cavity surface-emitting laser (VECSEL) passively modelocked with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). The VECSEL delivers 231-fs pulses with an average power of 100 mW and is optimized for stable and reliable operation. The optical spectrum was centered around 1038 nm and nearly transform-limited with a full width half maximum (FWHM) bandwidth of 5.5 nm. The pulses were first amplified to an average power of 5.5 W using a backward-pumped Yb-doped double-clad large mode area (LMA) fiber and then compressed to 85 fs with 2.2 W of average power with a passive LMA fiber and transmission gratings. Subsequently, we launched the pulses into a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and generated a coherent octave-spanning supercontinuum (SC). We then detected the carrier-envelope offset (CEO) frequency (fCEO) beat note using a standard f-to-2f-interferometer. The fCEO exhibits a signal-to-noise ratio of 17 dB in a 100-kHz resolution bandwidth and a FWHM of 10 MHz. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the detection of the fCEO from a semiconductor laser, opening the door to fully stabilized compact frequency combs based on modelocked semiconductor disk lasers.

Current state-of-the-art solution techniques for solving bilevel optimization problems either assume strong problem regularity criteria or are computationally intractable. In this paper we address power system problems of bilevel structure, commonly arising after the deregulation of the power industry. Such problems are predominantly solved by converting the lower-level problem into a set of equivalent constraints using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions at an expense of binary variables. Furthermore, in case the lower-level problem is nonconvex, the strong duality does not hold rendering the single-level reduction techniques inapplicable. To overcome this, we propose an effective numerical scheme based on bypassing the lower level completely using an approximation function that replicates the relevant lower level effect on the upper level. The approximation function is constructed by training a deep convolutional neural network. The numerical procedure is run iteratively to enhance the accuracy. As a case study, the proposed method is applied to a price-maker energy storage optimal bidding problem that considers an AC power flow-based market clearing in the lower level. The results indicate that greater actual profits are achieved as compared to the less accurate DC market representation.

Budget Sensitive Reannotation of Noisy Relation Classification Data Using Label Hierarchy

Large crowd-sourced datasets are often noisy and relation classification (RC) datasets are no exception. Reannotating the entire dataset is one probable solution however it is not always viable due to time and budget constraints. This paper addresses the problem of efficient reannotation of a large noisy dataset for the RC. Our goal is to catch more annotation errors in the dataset while reannotating fewer instances. Existing work on RC dataset reannotation lacks the flexibility about how much data to reannotate. We introduce the concept of a reannotation budget to overcome this limitation. The immediate follow-up problem is: Given a specific reannotation budget, which subset of the data should we reannotate? To address this problem, we present two strategies to selectively reannotate RC datasets. Our strategies utilize the taxonomic hierarchy of relation labels. The intuition of our work is to rely on the graph distance between actual and predicted relation labels in the label hierarchy graph. We evaluate our reannotation strategies on the well-known TACRED dataset. We design our experiments to answer three specific research questions. First, does our strategy select novel candidates for reannotation? Second, for a given reannotation budget is our reannotation strategy more efficient at catching annotation errors? Third, what is the impact of data reannotation on RC model performance measurement? Experimental results show that our both reannotation strategies are novel and efficient. Our analysis indicates that the current reported performance of RC models on noisy TACRED data is inflated.

The radiative and non-radiative decay rates of InAs quantum dots are measured by controlling the local density of optical states near an interface. From time-resolved measurements we extract the oscillator strength and the quantum efficiency and their dependence on emission energy. From our results and a theoretical model we determine the striking dependence of the overlap of the electron and hole wavefunctions on the quantum dot size. We conclude that the optical quality is best for large quantum dots, which is important in order to optimally tailor quantum dot emitters for, e.g., quantum electrodynamics experiments.

The rapid development and expansion of World Wide Web and network systems have changed the computing world in the last decade and also equipped the intruders and hackers with new facilities for their destructive purposes. The cost of temporary or permanent damages caused by unauthorized access of the intruders to computer systems has urged different organizations to increasingly implement various systems to monitor data flow in their network. The systems are generally known as Intrusion Detection System (IDS).Our objective is to implement an artificial network approach to the design of intrusion detection and prevention system and finally convert the designed model to a VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Descriptive Language) code. This feature enables the system to suggest proper actions against possible attacks. The promising results of the present study show the potential applicability of ANNs for developing practical IDSs.

A next-generation liquid-scintillator detector will be able to perform high-statistics measurements of the solar neutrino flux. In LENA, solar Be-7 neutrinos are expected to cause 1.7x10^4 electron recoil events per day in a fiducial volume of 35 kilotons. Based on this signal, a search for periodic modulations on sub-percent level can be conducted, surpassing the sensitivity of current detectors by at least a factor of 20. The range of accessible periods reaches from several minutes, corresponding to modulations induced by helioseismic g-modes, to tens of years, allowing to study long-term changes in solar fusion rates.

We consider an ultra-weak first order system discretization of the Helmholtz equation. By employing the optimal test norm, the `ideal' method yields the best approximation to the pair of the Helmholtz solution and its scaled gradient w.r.t.~the norm on $L_2(\Omega)\times L_2(\Omega)^d$ from the selected finite element trial space. On convex polygons, the `practical', implementable method is shown to be pollution-free when the polynomial degree of the finite element test space grows proportionally with $\log \kappa$. Numerical results also on other domains show a much better accuracy than for the Galerkin method.

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory instruments roughly one cubic kilometer of deep, glacial ice below the geographic South Pole with 5160 optical sensors to register the Cherenkov light of passing relativistic, charged particles. Since its construction was completed in 2010, a wide range of analyses has been performed. Those include, among others, the discovery of a high energetic astrophysical neutrino flux, competitive measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters and world-leading limits on dark matter detection. With ever-increasing statistics the influence of insufficiently known aspects of the detector performance start to limit the potential gain of future analyses. This thesis presents calibration studies on both the hardware characteristics as well as the optical properties of the instrumented ice. Improving the knowledge of the detector systematics and the methods to study them does not only aid IceCube but also inform the design of potential future IceCube extensions.

The anisotropic paramagnetism and specific heat in Nd2Ti2O7 single crystals are investigated. Angular dependence of the magnetization and Weiss temperatures show the dominant role of the crystal field effect in the magnetization. By incorporating the results from the diluted samples, contributions to Weiss temperature from exchange interactions and crystal field interactions are isolated. The exchange interactions are found to be ferromagnetic, while the crystal field contributes a large negative part to the Weiss temperature, along all three crystallographic directions. The specific heat under magnetic field reveals a two-level Schottky ground state scheme, due to the Zeeman splitting of the ground state doublet, and the g-factors are thus determined. These observations provide solid foundations for further investigations of Nd2Ti2O7.

In this study we examine the phase transitions in single crystals of [(CH3)2NH2]Co(HCOO)3], using magnetization and specific heat measurements as a function of temperature and magnetic field. Magnetisation measurements indicate a transition at 15 K that is associated with an antiferromagnetic transition. The results of the isothermal magnetization versus magnetic field curves demonstrate the presence of a single-ion magnet phase, coexisting with antiferromagnetism. A peak in specific heat is seen at 15 K, corresponding to the magnetic transition. The enthalpy of the transition evaluated from the area under the specific heat peak decreases with the application of magnetic field of upto8 T. This is suggestive of long range antiferromagnetic magnetic order, giving way to single-ion magnetic behavior under external field. In experiments at high temperatures, corresponding to the well-known structural transition in this system, the specific heat measurements, shows a peak at ~155K, that is insensitive to applied magnetic field. The magnetisation in this temperature range, while it exhibits a paramagnetic behavior, shows a distinct jump that has been attributed to a spin-state transition of Co2+ associated with the structural transition.

We present an evaporation experiment in a single fluid layer. When latent heat associated to the evaporation is large enough, the heat flow through the free surface of the layer generates temperature gradients that can destabilize the conductive motionless state giving rise to convective cellular structures without any external heating. The sequence of convective patterns obtained here without heating, is similar to that obtained in B\'enard-Marangoni convection. This work present the sequence of spatial bifurcations as a function of the layer depth. The transition between square to hexagonal pattern, known from non-evaporative experiments, is obtained here with a similar change in wavelength.

The correctness of a structured program is, at best, plausible. Though this is a step forward compared to what came before, it falls short of verified correctness. To verify a structured program according to Hoare's method one is faced with the problem of finding assertions to fit existing code. In 1971 this mode of verification was declared by Dijkstra as too hard to be of practical use---he advised that proof and code were to grow together. A method for doing this was independently published by Reynolds in 1978 and by van Emden in 1979. The latter was further developed to attain the form of matrix code. This form of code not only obviates the need of fitting assertions to existing code, but helps in discovering an algorithm that reaches a given postcondition from a fixed precondition. In this paper a keyboard-editable version of matrix code is presented that uses E.W. Dijkstra's guarded commands as starting point. The result is reached by using Floyd's method rather than Hoare's as starting point.

Max-plus algebra is a kind of idempotent semiring over $\mathbb{R}_{\max}:=\mathbb{R}\cup\{-\infty\}$ with two operations $\oplus := \max$ and $\otimes := +$.In this paper, we introduce a new model of a walk on one dimensional lattice on $\mathbb{Z}$, as an analogue of the quantum walk, over the max-plus algebra and we call it max-plus walk. In the conventional quantum walk, the summation of the $\ell^2$-norm of the states over all the positions is a conserved quantity. In contrast, the summation of eigenvalues of state decision matrices is a conserved quantity in the max-plus walk.Moreover, spectral analysis on the total time evolution operator is also given.

The mean-field analysis of a multi-population agent-based model is performed. The model couples a particle dynamics driven by a nonlocal velocity with a Markow-type jump process on the probability that each agent has of belonging to a given population. A general functional analytic framework for the well-posedness of the problem is established, and some concrete applications are presented, both in the case of discrete and continuous set of labels. In the particular case of a leader-follower dynamics, the existence and approximation results recently obtained in [2] are recovered and generalized as a byproduct of the abstract approach proposed.

As the heaviest known fundamental particle, the top quark has taken a central role in the study of fundamental interactions. The top quark mass is a fundamental parameter of the standard model which places constraints on the Higgs boson mass and electroweak symmetry breaking. Observations of the relative rates and kinematics of top quark final states may provide constraints for new physics processes. Past and current experimental measurements are presented with a critical view, and a look at the future prospects.

We present results for the elliptic and triangular flow coefficients in Au+Au collisions at root-s=200 AGeV using event-by-event (3+1)D viscous hydrodynamic simulations. We study the effect of initial state fluctuations and finite viscosities on the flow coefficients v_2 and v_3 as functions of transverse momentum and pseudo-rapidity. Fluctuations are essential to reproduce the measured centrality dependence of elliptic flow. We argue that simultaneous measurements of v_2 and v_3 can determine eta/s more precisely.

Origins of barchan dune asymmetry: insights from numerical simulations

Barchan dunes --- crescent-shaped dunes that form in areas of unidirectional winds and low sand availability --- commonly display an asymmetric shape, with one limb extended downwind. Several factors have been identified as potential causes for barchan dune asymmetry on Earth and Mars: asymmetric bimodal wind regime, topography, influx asymmetry and dune collision. However, the dynamics and potential range of barchan morphologies emerging under each specific scenario that leads to dune asymmetry are far from being understood. In the present work, we use dune modeling in order to investigate the formation and evolution of asymmetric barchans. We find that a bimodal wind regime causes limb extension when the divergence angle between primary and secondary winds is larger than $90^{\circ}$, whereas the extended limb evolves into a seif dune if the ratio between secondary and primary transport rates is larger than 25%. Calculations of dune formation on an inclined surface under constant wind direction also lead to barchan asymmetry, however no seif dune is obtained from surface tilting alone. Asymmetric barchans migrating along a tilted surface move laterally, with transverse migration velocity proportional to the slope of the terrain. Limb elongation induced by topography can occur when a barchan crosses a topographic rise. Furthermore, transient asymmetric barchan shapes with extended limb also emerge during collisions between dunes or due to an asymmetric influx. Our findings can be useful for making quantitative inference on local wind regimes or spatial heterogeneities in transport conditions of planetary dune fields hosting asymmetric barchans.

We report the existence of zero energy surface states localized at zigzag edges of $N$-layer graphene. Working within the tight-binding approximation, and using the simplest nearest-neighbor model, we derive the analytic solution for the wavefunctions of these peculiar surface states. It is shown that zero energy edge states in multilayer graphene can be divided into three families: (i) states living only on a single plane, equivalent to surface states in monolayer graphene; (ii) states with finite amplitude over the two last, or the two first layers of the stack, equivalent to surface states in bilayer graphene; (iii) states with finite amplitude over three consecutive layers. Multilayer graphene edge states are shown to be robust to the inclusion of the next nearest-neighbor interlayer hopping. We generalize the edge state solution to the case of graphite steps with zigzag edges, and show that edge states measured through scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy of graphite steps belong to family (i) or (ii) mentioned above, depending on the way the top layer is cut.

We present X-ray observations of the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy PKS 0558-504 obtained with RXTE during a 1-year monitoring campaign. This source, which is one of the very few radio-loud NLS1 galaxies, shows strong X-ray flux variability on time scales of weeks-months accompanied by spectral variability. The main goal of this study is to investigate the spectral variability with model-independent methods and time-resolved spectroscopy in order to shed light on the origin of the X-rays. The main results can be summarized as follows: 1) The flux typically changes by a factor of 1.5-2 on time scales of 10-30 days, with few extreme events where the flux increases by a factor of ~4 in 3 days. 2) We do not observe any large amplitude, flux related spectral variations. During the flux variations, the spectrum varies mainly in normalization and not in shape. We do observe some small amplitude spectral variations, which do not correlate with flux, although there is a hint of spectral hardening as the source brightens. 3) There is no evidence for reprocessing features such as the Fe Kalpha line or a Compton hump. We argue that PKS 0558-504 is a peculiar object that appears to be different from most of the radio-quiet and radio-loud AGN. If a jet is responsible for the bulk of the X-rays, it must operate in an unusual way. If instead a corona is responsible for the X-rays, the system might be a large-scale analog of the Galactic black holes in the transient intermediate state.

The laws of friction are reasonably well understood for the case of blocks in contact with rough plane surfaces. However, as far as bodies with circular sections are concerned, the physics of friction becomes more involving and it is not possible to adopt a simple conceptual framework to explain all phenomena. In particular, there is no approach so far to the problem of the resistance force that opposes to circular bodies that remain at rest while acted upon by small forces. Here we fill this gap by introducing a mechanical model based on both the elasticity theory and Hertz contact mechanics. Our approach furnishes a quantitative expression for the critical force beyond which rest can no longer be maintained. Besides confirming the expected proportionality of the resistance force with the load, our result contains no free parameters and is expressed solely in terms of physical properties of the problem, such as the pressure of the body per unit of superficial area, a relation between the Young modulus of the surface and its Poisson ratio, and the symmetry of the contact.

We investigate how the proton distribution function evolves when the protons undergo stochastic heating by strong, low-frequency, Alfv\'en-wave turbulence under the assumption that $\beta$ is small. We apply our analysis to protons undergoing stochastic heating in the supersonic fast solar wind and obtain proton distributions at heliocentric distances ranging from 4 to 30 solar radii. We find that the proton distribution develops non-Gaussian structure with a flat core and steep tail. For $r >5 \ R_{\rm S}$, the proton distribution is well approximated by a modified Moyal distribution. Comparisons with future measurements from \emph{Solar Probe Plus} could be used to test whether stochastic heating is occurring in the solar-wind acceleration region.

Before 1985, attempts to detect radio or X-ray emission from Magnetic CP (MCP) stars were either fruitless or ambiguous. However, more successful results have been obtained in the last dozen years: (i) Radio emission has now been detected from ~35 MCP stars of the Helium-peculiar and Silicon-strong subclasses, with a functional dependence of radio luminosity L_{R} \propto T_eff^7 H_s^{1.2} P_rot^{-0.6}, where T_eff is the effective temperature, H_s is the surface magnetic field strength, and P_rot is the rotational period; rotational modulation of the radio emission has also been observed for several MCP stars. All of this evidence suggests that it is the MCP stars themselves, not close companions, that are responsible for the radio emission; (ii) The X-ray emission properties of MCP stars are however still poorly characterized: although a moderate number (~18) have by now been associated with X-ray sources, the lack of a clear correlation of this X-ray emission with other stellar parameters has made it difficult to rule out the close companion hypothesis.

Given two compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary $M_1$ and $M_2$ such that their respective boundaries $\Sigma_1$ and $\Sigma_2$ admit neighborhoods $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2$ which are isometric, we prove the existence of a constant $C$, which depends only on the geometry of $\Omega_1\cong\Omega_2$, such that $|\sigma_k(M_1)-\sigma_k(M_2)|\leq C$ for each $k\in\mathbb{N}$. This follows from a quantitative relationship between the Steklov eigenvalues $\sigma_k$ of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ and the eigenvalues $\lambda_k$ of the Laplacian on its boundary. Our main result states that the difference $|\sigma_k-\sqrt{\lambda_k}|$ is bounded above by a constant which depends on the geometry of $M$ only in a neighborhood of its boundary. The proofs are based on a Pohozaev identity and on comparison geometry for principal curvatures of parallel hypersurfaces. In several situations, the constant $C$ is given explicitly in terms of bounds on the geometry of $\Omega_1\cong\Omega_2$.

Novel table-top sources of extreme-ultraviolet light based on high-harmonic generation yield unique insight into the fundamental properties of molecules, nanomaterials, or correlated solids, and enable advanced applications in imaging or metrology. Extending high-harmonic generation to high repetition rates portends great experimental benefits, yet efficient extreme-ultraviolet conversion of correspondingly weak driving pulses is challenging. Here, we demonstrate a highly efficient source of femtosecond extreme-ultraviolet pulses at 50-kHz repetition rate, utilizing the ultraviolet second-harmonic focused tightly into Kr gas. In this cascaded scheme, a photon flux beyond ~3e13 per second is generated at 22.3 eV, with 5e-5 conversion efficiency that surpasses similar harmonics directly driven by the fundamental by two orders of magnitude. The enhancement arises from both wavelength scaling of the atomic dipole and improved spatio-temporal phase-matching, confirmed by simulations. Spectral isolation of a single 72-meV wide harmonic renders this bright, 50-kHz extreme-ultraviolet source a powerful tool for ultrafast photoemission, nanoscale imaging and other applications.

In reinforcement learning, domain randomisation is an increasingly popular technique for learning more general policies that are robust to domain-shifts at deployment. However, naively aggregating information from randomised domains may lead to high variance in gradient estimation and unstable learning process. To address this issue, we present a peer-to-peer online distillation strategy for RL termed P2PDRL, where multiple workers are each assigned to a different environment, and exchange knowledge through mutual regularisation based on Kullback-Leibler divergence. Our experiments on continuous control tasks show that P2PDRL enables robust learning across a wider randomisation distribution than baselines, and more robust generalisation to new environments at testing.

Human-robot interactive decision-making is increasingly becoming ubiquitous, and trust is an influential factor in determining the reliance on autonomy. However, it is not reasonable to trust systems that are beyond our comprehension, and typical machine learning and data-driven decision-making are black-box paradigms that impede interpretability. Therefore, it is critical to establish computational trustworthy decision-making mechanisms enhanced by interpretability-aware strategies. To this end, we propose a Trustworthy Decision-Making (TDM) framework, which integrates symbolic planning into sequential decision-making. The framework learns interpretable subtasks that result in a complex, higher-level composite task that can be formally evaluated using the proposed trust metric. TDM enables the subtask-level interpretability by design and converges to an optimal symbolic plan from the learned subtasks. Moreover, a TDM-based algorithm is introduced to demonstrate the unification of symbolic planning with other sequential-decision making algorithms, reaping the benefits of both. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of trust-score-based planning while improving the interpretability of subtasks.

Let $M$ be a Kaehler manifold, and consider the total space $T^*M$ of the cotangent bundle to $M$. We show that in the formal neighborhood of the zero section $M \subset T^*M$ the space $T^*M$ admits a canonical hyperkaehler structure, compatible with the complex and holomorphic symplectic structures on $T^*M$. The associated hyperkaehler metric $h$ coincides with the given Kaehler metric on the zero section $M \subset T^*M$. Moreover, $h$ is invariant under the canonical circle action on $T^*M$ by dilatations along the fibers of $T^*M$ over $M$. We show that a hyperkaehler structure with these properties is unique. When the Kaehler metric on $M$ is real-analytic, we show that this formal hyperkaehler structure can be extended to an open neighborhood of the zero section. We also prove a hyperkaehler analog of the Darboux-Weinstein Theorem. To prove these results, we use the machinery of $R$-Hodge structures, following Deligne and Simpson.

The MEG detector is designed to test Lepton Flavor Violation in the $\mu^+\rightarrow e^+\gamma$ decay down to a Branching Ratio of a few $10^{-13}$. The decay topology consists in the coincident emission of a monochromatic photon in direction opposite to a monochromatic positron. A precise measurement of the relative time $t_{e^+\gamma}$ is crucial to suppress the background. The Timing Counter (TC) is designed to precisely measure the time of arrival of the $e^+$ and to provide information to the trigger system. It consists of two sectors up and down stream the decay target, each consisting of two layers. The outer one made of scintillating bars and the inner one of scintillating fibers. Their design criteria and performances are described.

We present an HST/ACS weak gravitational lensing analysis of 13 massive high-redshift (z_median=0.88) galaxy clusters discovered in the South Pole Telescope (SPT) Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Survey. This study is part of a larger campaign that aims to robustly calibrate mass-observable scaling relations over a wide range in redshift to enable improved cosmological constraints from the SPT cluster sample. We introduce new strategies to ensure that systematics in the lensing analysis do not degrade constraints on cluster scaling relations significantly. First, we efficiently remove cluster members from the source sample by selecting very blue galaxies in V-I colour. Our estimate of the source redshift distribution is based on CANDELS data, where we carefully mimic the source selection criteria of the cluster fields. We apply a statistical correction for systematic photometric redshift errors as derived from Hubble Ultra Deep Field data and verified through spatial cross-correlations. We account for the impact of lensing magnification on the source redshift distribution, finding that this is particularly relevant for shallower surveys. Finally, we account for biases in the mass modelling caused by miscentring and uncertainties in the concentration-mass relation using simulations. In combination with temperature estimates from Chandra we constrain the normalisation of the mass-temperature scaling relation ln(E(z) M_500c/10^14 M_sun)=A+1.5 ln(kT/7.2keV) to A=1.81^{+0.24}_{-0.14}(stat.) +/- 0.09(sys.), consistent with self-similar redshift evolution when compared to lower redshift samples. Additionally, the lensing data constrain the average concentration of the clusters to c_200c=5.6^{+3.7}_{-1.8}.

Can change in citation patterns among journals be used as an indicator of structural change in the organization of the sciences? Aggregated journal-journal citations for 1999 are compared with similar data in the Journal Citation Reports 1998 of the Science Citation Index. In addition to indicating local change, probabilistic entropy measures enable us to analyze changes in distributions at different levels of aggregation. The results of various statistics are discussed and compared by elaborating the journal-journal mappings. The relevance of this indicator for science and technology policies is further specified.

We perform a systematic application of the hybrid particle-field molecular dynamics technique [Milano et al, J. Chem. Phys. 2009, 130, 214106] to study interfacial properties and potential of mean force (PMF) for separating nanoparticles (NPs) in a melt. Specifically, we consider Silica NPs bare or grafted with Polystyrene chains, aiming to shed light on the interactions among free and grafted chains affecting the dispersion of NPs in the nanocomposite. The proposed hybrid models show good performances in catching the local structure of the chains, and in particular their density profiles, documenting the existence of the "wet-brush-to-dry-brush" transition. By using these models, the PMF between pairs of ungrafted and grafted NPs in Polystyrene matrix are calculated. Moreover, we estimate the three-particle contribution to the total PMF and its role in regulating the phase separation on the nanometer scale. In particular, the multi-particle contribution to the PMF is able to give an explanation of the complex experimental morphologies observed at low grafting densities. More in general, we propose this approach and the models utilized here for a molecular understanding of specific systems and the impact of the chemical nature of the systems on the composite final properties.

Given a $T_0$ paratopological group $G$ and a class $\mathcal C$ of continuous homomorphisms of paratopological groups, we define the $\mathcal C$-$semicompletion$ $\mathcal C[G)$ and $\mathcal C$-$completion$ $\mathcal C[G]$ of the group $G$ that contain $G$ as a dense subgroup, satisfy the $T_0$-separation axiom and have certain universality properties. For special classes $\mathcal C$, we present some necessary and sufficient conditions on $G$ in order that the (semi)completions $\mathcal C[G)$ and $\mathcal C[G]$ be Hausdorff. Also, we give an example of a Hausdorff paratopological abelian group $G$ whose $\mathcal C$-semicompletion $\mathcal C[G)$ fails to be a $T_1$-space, where $\mathcal C$ is the class of continuous homomorphisms of sequentially compact topological groups to paratopological groups. In particular, the group $G$ contains an $\omega$-bounded sequentially compact subgroup $H$ such that $H$ is a topological group but its closure in $G$ fails to be a subgroup.

Wireless links are increasingly used to deliver critical services, while intentional interference (jamming) remains a very serious threat to such services. In this paper, we are concerned with the design and evaluation of a universal anti-jamming building block, that is agnostic to the specifics of the communication link and can therefore be combined with existing technologies. We believe that such a block should not require explicit probes, sounding, training sequences, channel estimation, or even the cooperation of the transmitter. To meet these requirements, we propose an approach that relies on advances in Machine Learning, and the promises of neural accelerators and software defined radios. We identify and address multiple challenges, resulting in a convolutional neural network architecture and models for a multi-antenna system to infer the existence of interference, the number of interfering emissions and their respective phases. This information is continuously fed into an algorithm that cancels the interfering signal. We develop a two-antenna prototype system and evaluate our jamming cancellation approach in various environment settings and modulation schemes using Software Defined Radio platforms. We demonstrate that the receiving node equipped with our approach can detect a jammer with over 99% of accuracy and achieve a Bit Error Rate (BER) as low as $10^{-6}$ even when the jammer power is nearly two orders of magnitude (18 dB) higher than the legitimate signal, and without requiring modifications to the link modulation. In non-adversarial settings, our approach can have other advantages such as detecting and mitigating collisions.

Little is known about the portion of the Milky Way lying beyond the Galactic center at distances of more than 9 kilo-parsec from the Sun. These regions are opaque at optical wavelengths due to absorption by interstellar dust, and distances are very large and hard to measure. We report a direct trigonometric parallax distance of 20.4_{-2.2}^{+2.8} kilo-parsec obtained with the Very Long Baseline Array to a water maser source in a region of active star formation. These measurements allow us to shed light on Galactic spiral structure by locating the Scutum-Centaurus spiral arm as it passes through the far side of the Milky Way, and to validate a kinematic method for determining distances in this region based on transverse motions.

We perform a detailed study of bosonic type IIA string theory in a large light-cone momentum / near plane wave limit of $AdS_4 \times CP_3$. In order to attain this we derive the Hamiltonian up to cubic and quartic order in number of fields and calculate the energies for string excitations in a $R\times S^2 \times S^2$ subspace. The computation for the string energies is performed for arbitrary length excitations utilizing an unitary transformation which allows us to remove the cubic terms in the Hamiltonian. We then rewrite a recent set of proposed all loop Bethe equations in a light-cone language and compare their predictions with the obtained string energies. We find perfect agreement.

MESSENGER has observed a lot of dawn-dusk asymmetries in Mercury's magnetotail, such as the asymmetries of the cross-tail current sheet thickness and the occurrence of flux ropes, dipolarization events and energetic electron injections. In order to obtain a global pictures of Mercury's magnetotail dynamics and the relationship between these asymmetries, we perform global simulations with the magnetohydrodynamics with embedded particle-in-cell (MHD-EPIC) model, where Mercury's magnetotail region is covered by a PIC code. Our simulations show that the dawnside current sheet is thicker, the plasma density is larger, and the electron pressure is higher than the duskside. Under a strong IMF driver, the simulated reconnection sites prefer the dawnside. We also found the dipolarization events and the planetward electron jets are moving dawnward while they are moving towards the planet, so that almost all dipolarization events and high-speed plasma flows concentrate in the dawn sector. The simulation results are consistent with MESSENGER observations.

One possible origin for polarization structures across jets of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) with a central "spine" of orthogonal magnetic field and a "sheath" of longitudinal magnetic field along one or both edges of the jet is the presence of a helical jet magnetic field. Simultaneous Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) polarization observations of AGN displaying partial or full spine--sheath polarization structures were obtained at 4.6, 5.0, 7.9, 8.9, 12.9 and 15.4 GHz, in order to search for additional evidence for helical jet magnetic fields, such as transverse Faraday rotation gradients (due to the systematic change in the line-of-sight magnetic-field component across the jet). Results for eight sources displaying monotonic transverse Faraday rotation gradients with significances $\geq 3\sigma$ are presented here. Reversals in the directions of the transverse RM gradients with distance from the core or with time are detected in three of these AGNs. These can be interpreted as evidence for a nested helical magnetic field structure, with different directions for the azimuthal field component in the inner and outer regions of helical field. The results presented here support the idea that many spine--sheath polarization structures reflect the presence of helical magnetic fields being carried by these jets.

We theoretically study the equilibrium and dynamic properties of nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) and magnetic wires, in which an electric field controls the magnetic anisotropy through spin-orbit coupling. By performing micromagnetic simulations, we construct a rich phase diagram and find that, in particular, the equilibrium magnetic textures can be tuned between Neel and Bloch domain walls in an elliptical MTJ. Furthermore, we develop a phenomenological model of a quasi-one-dimensional domain wall confined by a parabolic potential and show that, near the Neel-to-Bloch-wall transition, a pulsed electric field induces precessional domain-wall motion which can be used to reverse the chirality of a Neel wall and even depin it. This domain-wall motion controlled by electric fields, in lieu of applied current, may provide a model for ultra-low-power domain-wall memory and logic devices.

We study the Cauchy problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations (NS) in three and higher spatial dimensions: \begin{align} u_t -\Delta u+u\cdot \nabla u +\nabla p=0, \ \ {\rm div} u=0, \ \ u(0,x)= u_0(x). \label{NSa} \end{align} Leray and Giga obtained that for the weak and mild solutions $u$ of NS in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ which blow up at finite time $T>0$, respectively, one has that for $d <p \leq \infty$, $$ \|u(t)\|_p \gtrsim ( T-t )^{-(1-d/p)/2}, \ \ 0< t<T. $$ We will obtain the blowup profile and the concentration phenomena in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ with $d\leq p\leq \infty$ for the blowup mild solution. On the other hand, if the Fourier support has the form ${\rm supp} \ \widehat{u_0} \subset \{\xi\in \mathbb{R}^n: \xi_1\geq L \}$ and $\|u_0\|_{\infty} \ll L$ for some $L >0$, then \eqref{NSa} has a unique global solution $u\in C(\mathbb{R}_+, L^\infty)$. Finally, if the blowup rate is of type I: $$ \|u(t)\|_p \sim ( T-t )^{-(1-d/p)/2}, \ for \ 0< t<T<\infty, \ d<p<\infty $$ in 3 dimensional case, then we can obtain a minimal blowup solution $\Phi$ for which $$ \inf \{\limsup_{t \to T}(T-t)^{(1-3/p)/2}\|u(t)\|_{L^p_x}: \ u\in C([0,T); L^p) \mbox{\ solves \eqref{NSa}}\} $$ is attainable at some $\Phi \in L^\infty (0,T; \ \dot B^{-1+6/p}_{p/2,\infty})$.

This paper studies the problem of support recovery of sparse signals based on multiple measurement vectors (MMV). The MMV support recovery problem is connected to the problem of decoding messages in a Single-Input Multiple-Output (SIMO) multiple access channel (MAC), thereby enabling an information theoretic framework for analyzing performance limits in recovering the support of sparse signals. Sharp sufficient and necessary conditions for successful support recovery are derived in terms of the number of measurements per measurement vector, the number of nonzero rows, the measurement noise level, and especially the number of measurement vectors. Through the interpretations of the results, in particular the connection to the multiple output communication system, the benefit of having MMV for sparse signal recovery is illustrated providing a theoretical foundation to the performance improvement enabled by MMV as observed in many existing simulation results. In particular, it is shown that the structure (rank) of the matrix formed by the nonzero entries plays an important role on the performance limits of support recovery.

CSS J102913+404220 is a peculiar narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy with an energetic nuclear optical outburst. We present a detailed analysis of its multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic observations covering a period of decade since outburst. We detect mid-infrared (MIR) flares delayed by about two months relative to the optical outburst, with an extremely high peak luminosity of log(L_4.6um)>44 erg/s. The MIR peak luminosity is at least an order of magnitude higher than any known supernovae explosions, suggesting the optical outburst might be due to a stellar tidal disruption event (TDE). We find late-time X-ray brightening by a factor of >30 with respect to what is observed about 100 days after the optical outburst peak, followed by a flux fading by a factor of ~4 within two weeks, making it one of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) with extreme variability. Despite the dramatic X-ray variability, there are no coincident strong flux variations in optical, UV and MIR bands. This unusual variability behavior has been seen in other highly accreting AGNs and could be attributed to absorption variability. In this scenario, the decrease in the covering factor of absorber with accretion rate could cause the X-ray brightening, possibly induced by the TDE. Most strikingly, while the UV/optical continuum remains little changes with time, an evident enhancement in the flux of H_alpha broad emission line is observed, about a decade after the nuclear optical outburst, which is an anomalous behavior never seen in any other AGNs. Such an H_alpha anomaly could be explained by the replenishment of gas clouds and excitation within Broad Line Region (BLR) that originates, perhaps from the interaction of outflowing stellar debris with BLR. The results highlight the importance of late-time evolution of TDE that could affect the accreting properties of AGN, as suggested by recent simulations.

Fractals are fascinating structures, not only for their aesthetic appeal, but also because they allow for the investigation of physical properties in non-integer dimensions. In these unconventional systems, a myriad of intrinsic features might come into play, such as the fractal dimension, the spectral dimension, or the fractal geometry. Despite abundant theoretical and numerical studies, experiments in fractal networks remain elusive. Here, we experimentally investigate quantum transport in fractal networks by performing continuous-time quantum walks in fractal photonic lattices with incremental propagation lengths. Photons act as the walkers and evolve in the lattices after being injected into one initial site. We unveil the transport properties through the photon evolution pattern at different propagation lengths and the analysis of the variance and the P'olya number, which are calculated based on the probability distribution of the patterns. Contrarily to classical fractals, we observe anomalous transport governed solely by the fractal dimension. In addition, the critical point at which there is a transition from normal to anomalous transport is highly dependent on the fractal geometry. Our experiment allows the verification of physical laws in a quantitative manner and reveals the transport dynamics with unprecedented detail, thus opening a path to the understanding of more complex quantum phenomena governed by fractality.

This paper studies algorithms for efficiently computing Brascamp-Lieb constants, a task that has recently received much interest. In particular, we reduce the computation to a nonlinear matrix-valued iteration, whose convergence we analyze through the lens of fixed-point methods under the well-known Thompson metric. This approach permits us to obtain (weakly) polynomial time guarantees, and it offers an efficient and transparent alternative to previous state-of-the-art approaches based on Riemannian optimization and geodesic convexity.

In the context of polaritons in a ferrite-semiconductor structure which is influenced by an external static magnetic field, the gyrotropic-nihility can be identified from the dispersion equation related to bulk polaritons as a particular extreme state, at which the longitudinal component of the corresponding constitutive tensor and bulk constant simultaneously acquire zero. Near the frequency of the gyrotropic-nihility state, the conditions of branches merging of bulk polaritons, as well as an anomalous dispersion of bulk and surface polaritons are found and discussed.

We study the security of quantum string commitment (QSC) protocols with group covariant encoding scheme. First we consider a class of QSC protocol, which is general enough to incorporate all the QSC protocols given in the preceding literatures. Then among those protocols, we consider group covariant protocols and show that the exact upperbound on the binding condition can be calculated. Next using this result, we prove that for every irreducible representation of a finite group, there always exists a corresponding nontrivial QSC protocol which reaches a level of security impossible to achieve classically.

We consider the (smoothed) average correlation between the density of energy levels of a disordered system, in which the Hamiltonian is equal to the sum of a deterministic H0 and of a random potential $\varphi$. Remarkably, this correlation function may be explicitly determined in the limit of large matrices, for any unperturbed H0 and for a class of probability distribution P$(\varphi)$ of the random potential. We find a compact representation of the correlation function. From this representation one obtains readily the short distance behavior, which has been conjectured in various contexts to be universal. Indeed we find that it is totally independent of both H0 and P($\varphi$).

In the present paper we study instability caused by the velocity shear flows of the great red spot of Jupiter. For the purpose, we imply the Navier Stokes and the continuity equations, perform the linear analysis of the governing equations and numerically solve them. We have considered two different regimes: exponential and harmonic behaviour of wave vectors. It has been shown that both scenarios reveal unstable character of flows and the corresponding rate might be considerably high. For the case of harmonic time dependence of wave vectors we also found a beat like solution of sound waves.

We introduce a novel approach for the investigation of spin-wave excitations in itinerant ferromagnets. Our theory is based on a variational treatment of general multi-band Hubbard models which describe elements and compounds of transition metals. The magnon dispersion is derived approximately as the energy of a variational spin-wave state in the limit of large spatial dimensions. A numerical evaluation of our results is feasible for general multi-band models. As a first application we consider a model with two degenerate orbitals per lattice site. From our results we can conclude that spin-wave excitations in strong itinerant ferromagnets are very similar to those in ferromagnetic spin systems.

We study one dimensional {\it extended} Kondo lattice model, described by the $t-J$ Hamiltonian for conduction electrons away from half filling and the Heisenberg Hamiltonian for localized spins at half filling. Following Shankar,\cite{Shankar} we find an effective field theory for this model, where doped holes are represented by massless Dirac fermions (holons) and spin excitations are fractionalized into relativistic bosons (spinons). These holons and spinons interact via U(1) gauge fluctuations. Effects of Berry phase to the localized spins disappear due to the presence of Kondo couplings, causing the spinon excitations gapped. Furthermore, the gauge fluctuations are suppressed by hole doping. As a result, massive spinons are deconfined to arise in the localized spins unless the Kondo hybridization is strong enough. When the Kondo hybridization strength exceeds a certain value, we find that the localized spin chain becomes critical. This indicates that the present one dimensional Kondo lattice model exhibits a phase transition from a spin-gapped phase to a critical state in the localized spin chain, driven by the Kondo interaction.

We present an overview of current academic curricula for Scientific Computing, High-Performance Computing and Data Science. After a survey of current academic and non-academic programs across the globe, we focus on Canadian programs and specifically on the education program of the SciNet HPC Consortium, using its detailed enrollment and course statistics for the past four to five years. Not only do these data display a steady and rapid increase in the demand for research-computing instruction, they also show a clear shift from traditional (high performance) computing to data-oriented methods. It is argued that this growing demand warrants specialized research computing degrees. The possible curricula of such degrees are described next, taking existing programs as an example, and adding SciNet's experiences of student desires as well as trends in advanced research computing.

Heckman selection model is perhaps the most popular econometric model in the analysis of data with sample selection. The analyses of this model are based on the normality assumption for the error terms, however, in some applications, the distribution of the error term departs significantly from normality, for instance, in the presence of heavy tails and/or atypical observation. In this paper, we explore the Heckman selection-t model where the random errors follow a bivariate Student's-t distribution. We develop an analytically tractable and efficient EM-type algorithm for iteratively computing maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters, with standard errors as a by-product. The algorithm has closed-form expressions at the E-step, that rely on formulas for the mean and variance of the truncated Student's-t distributions. Simulations studies show the vulnerability of the Heckman selection-normal model, as well as the robustness aspects of the Heckman selection-t model. Two real examples are analyzed, illustrating the usefulness of the proposed methods. The proposed algorithms and methods are implemented in the new R package HeckmanEM.

We propose a novel framework for analyzing convergence rates of stochastic optimization algorithms with adaptive step sizes. This framework is based on analyzing properties of an underlying generic stochastic process, in particular by deriving a bound on the expected stopping time of this process. We utilize this framework to analyze the bounds on expected global convergence rates of a stochastic variant of a traditional trust region method, introduced in \cite{ChenMenickellyScheinberg2014}. While traditional trust region methods rely on exact computations of the gradient, Hessian and values of the objective function, this method assumes that these values are available up to some dynamically adjusted accuracy. Moreover, this accuracy is assumed to hold only with some sufficiently large, but fixed, probability, without any additional restrictions on the variance of the errors. This setting applies, for example, to standard stochastic optimization and machine learning formulations. Improving upon the analysis in \cite{ChenMenickellyScheinberg2014}, we show that the stochastic process defined by the algorithm satisfies the assumptions of our proposed general framework, with the stopping time defined as reaching accuracy $\|\nabla f(x)\|\leq \epsilon$. The resulting bound for this stopping time is $O(\epsilon^{-2})$, under the assumption of sufficiently accurate stochastic gradient, and is the first global complexity bound for a stochastic trust-region method. Finally, we apply the same framework to derive second order complexity bound under some additional assumptions.

A theory of (co)homologies related to set-theoretic $n$-simplex relations is constructed in analogy with the known quandle and Yang--Baxter (co)homologies, with emphasis made on the tetrahedron case. In particular, this permits us to generalize Hietarinta's idea of "permutation-type" solutions to the quantum (or "tensor") $n$-simplex equations. Explicit examples of solutions to the tetrahedron equation involving nontrivial cocycles are presented.

This paper reports experiments on the shear transient response of concentrated non-Brownian suspensions. The shear viscosity of the suspensions is measured using a wide-gap Couette rheometer equipped with a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) device that allows measuring the velocity field. The suspensions made of PMMA particles (31$\mu$m in diameter) suspended in a Newtonian index- and density-matched liquid are transparent enough to allow an accurate measurement of the local velocity for particle concentrations as high as 50%. In the wide-gap Couette cell, the shear induced particle migration is evidenced by the measurement of the time evolution of the flow profile. A peculiar radial zone in the gap is identified where the viscosity remains constant. At this special location, the local particle volume fraction is taken to be the mean particle concentration. The local shear transient response of the suspensions when the shear flow is reversed is measured at this point where the particle volume fraction is well defined. The local rheological measurements presented here confirm the macroscopic measurements of Gadala-Maria and Acrivos (1980). After shear reversal, the viscosity undergoes a step-like reduction, decreases slower and passes through a minimum before increasing again to reach a plateau. Upon varying the particle concentration, we have been able to show that the minimum and the plateau viscosities do not obey the same scaling law with respect to the particle volume fraction. These experimental results are consistent with the scaling predicted by Mills and Snabre (2009) and with the results of numerical simulation performed on random suspensions [Sierou and Brady (2001)]. The minimum seems to be associated with the viscosity of an isotropic suspension, or at least of a suspension whose particles do not interact through non-hydrodynamic forces, while the plateau value would correspond to the viscosity of a suspension structured by the shear where the non-hydrodynamic forces play a crucial role.

The potential of $n$-Higgs Doublet Models ($n$HDMs) contains a large number of SU(2)$_L$-preserving accidental symmetries as subgroups of the symplectic group Sp(2$n)$. To classify these, we introduce prime invariants and irreducible representations in bilinear field space that enable us to explicitly construct accidentally symmetric $n$HDM potentials. We showcase the classifications of symmetries and present the relationship among the theoretical parameters of the scalar potential for; (i) the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) and (ii) the Three Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM). We recover the maximum number of $13$ accidental symmetries for the 2HDM potential and for the first time, we present the complete list of $40$ accidental symmetries for the 3HDM potential.

We analyze the generation rates and preparation fidelities of photon triplet states in pulsed cascaded parametric down-conversion (PDC) under realistic experimental circumstances. As a model system, we assume a monolithically integrated device with negligible interface loss between the two consecutive PDC stages. We model the secondary down-conversion process in terms of a lossy channel and provide a detailed analysis of noise contributions. Taking variable pump powers into account, we estimate the impact of higher-order photon contributions and conversion processes on the achievable coincidence probabilities. At mean photon numbers of $\langle m\rangle\sim0.25$ photons per pulse behind the first PDC stage, we expect around $4.0$ genuine photon triplets per hour. Additionally, we discuss fundamental limitations of our model system as well as feasible improvements to the detectable photon triplet rate.

As a recently recognized class of objects exhibiting apparently cometary (sublimation-driven) activity yet orbiting completely within the main asteroid belt, main-belt comets (MBCs) have revealed the existence of present-day ice in small bodies in the inner solar system and offer an opportunity to better understand the thermal and compositional history of our solar system, and by extension, those of other planetary systems as well. Achieving these overall goals, however, will require meeting various intermediate research objectives, including discovering many more MBCs than the currently known seven objects in order to ascertain the population's true abundance and distribution, confirming that water ice sublimation is in fact the driver of activity in these objects, and improving our understanding of the physical, dynamical, and thermal evolutionary processes that have acted on this population over the age of the solar system.

A recent study has shown that redshift information can be directly extracted from gravitational wave sources. This can be done by exploiting the tidal phasing contributions to the waveform during the inspiral phase of binary neutron stars coalescences. The original study investigated the viability of this idea in the context of the Einstein Telescope using a Fisher Matrix approach and in this paper, we further explore this idea using realistic simulations and Bayesian inference techniques. We find that the fractional accuracy with which the redshift can be measured is in the order of tens of percent, in agreement with Fisher Matrix predictions. Moreover, no significant bias is found. We conclude that, when tidal phasing contributions are included in the analysis, inference of the cosmological parameters from gravitational waves is possible

The main properties and methods of describing dipolar and spinor atomic systems, composed of bosonic atoms or molecules, are reviewed. The general approach for the correct treatment of Bose-condensed atomic systems with nonlocal interaction potentials is explained. The approach is applied to Bose-condensed systems with dipolar interaction potentials. The properties of systems with spinor interaction potentials are described. Trapped atoms and atoms in optical lattices are considered. Effective spin Hamiltonians for atoms in optical lattices are derived. The possibility of spintronics with cold atom is emphasized. The present review differs from the previous review articles by concentrating on a thorough presentation of basic theoretical points, helping the reader to better follow mathematical details and to make clearer physical conclusions.

Hybrid Methods in Polynomial Optimisation

The Moment/Sum-of-squares hierarchy provides a way to compute the global minimizers of polynomial optimization problems (POP), at the cost of solving a sequence of increasingly large semidefinite programs (SDPs). We consider large-scale POPs, for which interior-point methods are no longer able to solve the resulting SDPs. We propose an algorithm that combines a first-order Burer-Monteiro-type method for solving the SDP relaxation, and a second-order method on a non-convex problem obtained from the POP. The switch from the first to the second-order method is based on a quantitative criterion, whose satisfaction ensures that Newton's method converges quadratically from its first iteration. This criterion leverages the point-estimation theory of Smale and the active-set identification. We illustrate the methodology to obtain global minimizers of large-scale optimal power flow problems.

F.: Good morning Hermann, I would like to talk with you about infinitesimals. G.: Tell me Pierre. F.: I'm fed up of all these slanders about my attitude to be non rigorous, so I've started to study nonstandard analysis (NSA) and synthetic differential geometry (SDG). G.: Yes, I've read something ... F.: Ok, no problem about their rigour. But, when I've seen that the sine of an infinite in NSA is infinitely near to a real number I was astonished: what is the intuitive meaning of this number, if any? Then, I've seen that to work in SDG I must learn to work in intuitionistic logic ... You know, I love margins of books, and I don't want to loose too much time, I have many things to do ... G.: In SDG they also say that every infinitesimal is at the same time positive and negative, what is the meaning of all these? And why does the square of a first order infinitesimal equal zero, whereas the product of two first order infinitesimals is not necessarily zero? And do you know that from any single infinitesimal in NSA is possible to construct a non measurable set? Without using the axiom of choice! F.: Yes, I know, I know ... Ok, listen: why cannot we start from standard real functions of one real variable and use ... This work is the ideal continuation of this dialogue: a theory of actual infinitesimals that do not need a background of formal logic to be understood, with a clear intuitive meaning and with non trivial applications to differential geometry of both finite and infinite dimensional spaces.

Recently, collaborative robots have begun to train humans to achieve complex tasks, and the mutual information exchange between them can lead to successful robot-human collaborations. In this paper we demonstrate the application and effectiveness of a new approach called mutual reinforcement learning (MRL), where both humans and autonomous agents act as reinforcement learners in a skill transfer scenario over continuous communication and feedback. An autonomous agent initially acts as an instructor who can teach a novice human participant complex skills using the MRL strategy. While teaching skills in a physical (block-building) ($n=34$) or simulated (Tetris) environment ($n=31$), the expert tries to identify appropriate reward channels preferred by each individual and adapts itself accordingly using an exploration-exploitation strategy. These reward channel preferences can identify important behaviors of the human participants, because they may well exercise the same behaviors in similar situations later. In this way, skill transfer takes place between an expert system and a novice human operator. We divided the subject population into three groups and observed the skill transfer phenomenon, analyzing it with Simpson"s psychometric model. 5-point Likert scales were also used to identify the cognitive models of the human participants. We obtained a shared cognitive model which not only improves human cognition but enhances the robot's cognitive strategy to understand the mental model of its human partners while building a successful robot-human collaborative framework.

Reproductive success and survival are influenced by wealth in human populations. Wealth is transmitted to offsprings and strategies of transmission vary over time and among populations, the main variation being how equally wealth is transmitted to children. Here we propose a model where we simulate both the dynamics of wealth in a population and the evolution of a trait that determines how wealth is transmitted from parents to offspring, in a darwinian context.

In this paper we employ methods from Statistical Mechanics to model temporal correlations in time series. We put forward a methodology based on the Maximum Entropy principle to generate ensembles of time series constrained to preserve part of the temporal structure of an empirical time series of interest. We show that a constraint on the lag-one autocorrelation can be fully handled analytically, and corresponds to the well known Spherical Model of a ferromagnet. We then extend such a model to include constraints on more complex temporal correlations by means of perturbation theory, showing that this leads to substantial improvements in capturing the lag-one autocorrelation in the variance. We apply our approach on synthetic data, and illustrate how it can be used to formulate expectations on the future values of a data generating process.

We have obtained new redshifts for 265 objects in the central 48~$\times$~25~arcmin$^2$ region of the Coma cluster. When supplemented with literature data, our redshift sample is 95~\% complete up to a magnitude b$_{26.5}$=18.0 (the magnitudes are taken from the photometric sample of Godwin et al. 1983). Using redshift-confirmed membership for 205 galaxies, and the location in the colour-magnitude diagram for another 91 galaxies, we have built a sample of cluster members which is complete up to b$_{26.5}$=20.0. We show that the Coma cluster luminosity function cannot be adequately fitted by a single Schechter (1976) function, because of a dip in the magnitude distribution at b$_{26.5}$$\sim$17. The superposition of an Erlang (or a Gauss) and a Schechter function provides a significantly better fit. We compare the luminosity function of Coma to those of other clusters, and of the field. Luminosity functions for rich clusters look similar, with a maximum at $M_{b} \simeq -19.5 + 5 \times \log h_{50}$, while the Virgo and the field luminosity functions show a nearly monotonic behaviour. These differences may be produced by physical processes related to the environment which affect the luminosities of a certain class of cluster galaxies.
