The regularized theories are non-local at the scale of the cutoff, leading so to the usual difficulties of non-local theories. In this work the conservation laws and causality are investigated for classical field theories with multi-cluster action. The conservation laws are found to play a less significant role than in local theories because due to the non-locality the conserved quantities are not integrals of the motion, and they can exist even without underlying symmetries. Moreover, the conservation of the energy can not prevent instability brought about by the unbounded nature of the energy from below. Hence a sufficient condition of stability is lost. Theories, obtained by appropriate point splitting of local interactions are shown to be causal thereby a necessary condition of stability can be retained.

A study of the precision of the semiempirical methods used in the determination of the chemical abundances in gas-rich galaxies is carried out. In order to do this the oxygen abundances of a total of 438 galaxies were determined using the electronic temperature, the $R_{23}$ and the P methods. The new calibration of the P method gives the smaller dispersion for the low and high metallicity regions, while the best numbers in the turnaround region are given by the $R_{23}$ method. We also found that the dispersion correlates with the metallicity. Finally, it can be said that all the semiempirical methods studied here are quite insensitive to metallicity with a value of $8.0\pm0.2$ dex for more than 50% of the total sample. \keywords{ISM: abundances; (ISM): H {\sc ii} regions}

We use the long-wavelength effective theory of black branes (blackfold approach) to perturbatively construct holographic duals of the vacua of the $\mathcal{N}=1$* supersymmetric gauge theory. Employing the mechanism of Polchinski and Strassler, we consider wrapped black five-brane probes with D3-brane charge moving in the perturbative supergravity backgrounds corresponding to the high and low temperature phases of the gauge theory. Our approach recovers the results for the brane potentials and equilibrium configurations known in the literature in the extremal limit, while away from extremality we find metastable black D3-NS5 configurations with horizon topology $\mathbb{R}^3\times \mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{S}^3$ in certain regimes of parameter space, which cloak potential brane singularities. We uncover novel features of the phase diagram of the $\mathcal{N}=1$* gauge theory in different ensembles and provide further evidence for the appearance of metastable states in holographic backgrounds dual to confining gauge theories.

Galactic Winds and Extended Lya Emission from the Host Galaxies of High Column Density QSO Absorption Systems

We present 3D resonant radiative transfer simulations of the spatial and spectral diffusion of the Lya radiation from a central source in the host galaxies of high column density absorption systems at z ~ 3. The radiative transfer simulations are based on a suite of cosmological galaxy formation simulations that reproduce a wide range of observed properties of damped Lya absorption systems. The Lya emission is predicted to be spatially extended up to several arcsec, and the spectral width of the Lya emission is broadened to several hundred (in some case more than thousand) km/s. The distribution and the dynamical state of the gas in the simulated galaxies is complex, the latter with significant contributions from rotation and both in- and out-flows. The emerging Lya radiation extends to gas with column densities of N_HI ~ 10^{18} cm^{-2} and its spectral shape varies strongly with viewing angle. The strong dependence on the central \hi column density and the HI velocity field suggests that the Lya emission will also vary strongly with time on timescales of a few dynamical times of the central region. Such variations with time should be especially pronounced at times where the host galaxy undergoes a major merger and/or starburst. Depending on the pre-dominance of in- or out-flow along a given sightline and the central column density, the spectra show prominent blue peaks, red peaks or double-peaked profiles. Both spatial distribution and spectral shape are very sensitive to details of the galactic wind implementation. Stronger galactic winds result in more spatially extended Lya emission and - somewhat counterintuitively - a narrower spectral distribution.

The possible existence of primordial black holes (PBHs) is an open question in modern cosmology. Among the probes to test it, gravitational waves (GW) coming from their mergers constitute a powerful tool. In this work, we study how stellar mass PBH binaries could affect measurements of the clustering of merger events in future GW surveys. We account for PBH binaries formed both in the early and late Universe and show that the power spectrum modification they introduce can be detected at $\sim 2\sigma-3\sigma$ (depending on some assumptions) whenever PBH mergers make up at least $\sim 60\%$ of the overall number of detected events. By adding cross-correlations with galaxy surveys, this threshold is lowered to $\sim 40\%$. In the case of a poor redshift determination of GW sources, constraints are degraded by about a factor of 2. Assuming a theoretical model for the PBH merger rate, we can convert our results to constraints on the fraction of dark matter in PBHs, $f_{\rm PBH}$. Finally, we perform a Bayesian model selection forecast and confirm that the analysis we develop could be able to detect $\sim30M_\odot$ PBHs if they account for $f_{\rm PBH}\sim 10^{-4}-10^{-3}$, depending on the model uncertainty considered, being thus competitive with other probes.

We report on TeV gamma-ray observations of the blazar Mrk 421 (redshift of 0.031) with the VERITAS observatory and the Whipple 10m Cherenkov telescope. The excellent sensitivity of VERITAS allowed us to sample the TeV gamma-ray fluxes and energy spectra with unprecedented accuracy where Mrk 421 was detected in each of the pointings. A total of 47.3 hrs of VERITAS and 96 hrs of Whipple 10m data were acquired between January 2006 and June 2008. We present the results of a study of the TeV gamma-ray energy spectra as a function of time, and for different flux levels. On May 2nd and 3rd, 2008, bright TeV gamma-ray flares were detected with fluxes reaching the level of 10 Crab. The TeV gamma-ray data were complemented with radio, optical, and X-ray observations, with flux variability found in all bands except for the radio waveband. The combination of the RXTE and Swift X-ray data reveal spectral hardening with increasing flux levels, often correlated with an increase of the source activity in TeV gamma-rays. Contemporaneous spectral energy distributions were generated for 18 nights, each of which are reasonably described by a one-zone SSC model.

The covariant parton model is generalized to describe quark correlators in a systematic way. Previous results are reproduced for the T-even leading-twist transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs), and for the first time all T-even twist-3 TMDs are evaluated in this model. We apply the approach to evaluate the fully unintegrated quark correlator which allows us to understand the model-specific relations between different TMDs. We verify the consistency of the approach, present numerical results and compare to available TMD parametrizations.

Ebb: A DSL for Physical Simulation on CPUs and GPUs

Designing programming environments for physical simulation is challenging because simulations rely on diverse algorithms and geometric domains. These challenges are compounded when we try to run efficiently on heterogeneous parallel architectures. We present Ebb, a domain-specific language (DSL) for simulation, that runs efficiently on both CPUs and GPUs. Unlike previous DSLs, Ebb uses a three-layer architecture to separate (1) simulation code, (2) definition of data structures for geometric domains, and (3) runtimes supporting parallel architectures. Different geometric domains are implemented as libraries that use a common, unified, relational data model. By structuring the simulation framework in this way, programmers implementing simulations can focus on the physics and algorithms for each simulation without worrying about their implementation on parallel computers. Because the geometric domain libraries are all implemented using a common runtime based on relations, new geometric domains can be added as needed, without specifying the details of memory management, mapping to different parallel architectures, or having to expand the runtime's interface. We evaluate Ebb by comparing it to several widely used simulations, demonstrating comparable performance to hand-written GPU code where available, and surpassing existing CPU performance optimizations by up to 9$\times$ when no GPU code exists.

The effective inflationary Lagrangian is a prominent challenge for theoretical cosmologists, since it may contain imprints of the quantum epoch. In view of the fact that higher order curvature terms might be present in the effective inflationary Lagrangian, in this work we introduce the theoretical framework of power-law $f(R)$ gravity corrected canonical scalar field inflation, aiming to study the inflationary dynamics of this new framework. The main characteristic of this new theoretical framework is the dominance of a power-law $f(R)$ gravity term $\sim R^n$, with $1<n<2$, compared to the Einstein-Hilbert term $\sim R$. In effect, the field equations are controlled by the $R^n$ term in contrast to the Einstein-Hilbert canonical scalar theory. We extract the slow-roll field equations and we calculate the slow-roll indices of the resulting theory which acquire quite elegant final form, when the slow-roll conditions hold true. Accordingly, we examine quantitatively the inflationary phenomenological implications of the theoretical framework we introduced, by choosing simple hybrid-like scalar field potentials. As we evince the resulting theory is in good agreement with the latest Planck data for a wide range of the free parameters of the model. Thus our theoretical framework makes possible to obtain viable inflationary theories, which otherwise would be non-viable, such as the simple power-law $f(R)$ gravity model or the simple power-law scalar model.

Given a group $G$ and an integer $n\geq 0$ we consider the family $\mathcal{F}_n$ of all virtually abelian subgroups of $G$ of rank at most $n$. In this article we prove that for each $n\ge2$ the Bredon cohomology, with respect to the family $\mathcal{F}_n$, of a free abelian group with rank $k > n$ is nontrivial in dimension $k+n$; this answers a question of Corob-Cook, Moreno, Nucinkis and Pasini. As an application, we compute the minimal dimension of a classifying space for the family $\mathcal{F}_n$ for braid groups, right-angled Artin groups, and graphs of groups whose vertex groups are infinite finitely generated virtually abelian groups, for all $n\ge2$. The main tools that we use are the Mayer-Vietoris sequence for Bredon cohomology, Bass-Serre theory, and the L\"uck-Weiermann construction.

In this paper, we present Skeleton Transformer Networks (SkeletonNet), an end-to-end framework that can predict not only 3D joint positions but also 3D angular pose (bone rotations) of a human skeleton from a single color image. This in turn allows us to generate skinned mesh animations. Here, we propose a two-step regression approach. The first step regresses bone rotations in order to obtain an initial solution by considering skeleton structure. The second step performs refinement based on heatmap regressor using a 3D pose representation called cross heatmap which stacks heatmaps of xy and zy coordinates. By training the network using the proposed 3D human pose dataset that is comprised of images annotated with 3D skeletal angular poses, we showed that SkeletonNet can predict a full 3D human pose (joint positions and bone rotations) from a single image in-the-wild.

We show how recent state-reconstruction techniques can be used to determine the Hamiltonian of an optical device that evolves the quantum state of radiation. A simple experimental setup is proposed for measuring the Liouvillian of phase-insensitive devices. The feasibility of the method with current technology is demonstrated on the basis of Monte Carlo simulated experiments.

Bayesian methods are becoming more widely used in asteroseismic analysis. In particular, they are being used to determine oscillation frequencies, which are also commonly found by Fourier analysis. It is important to establish whether the Bayesian methods provide an improvement on Fourier methods. We compare, using simulated data, the standard iterative sine-wave fitting method against a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) code that has been introduced to infer purely the frequencies of oscillation modes (Brewer et al. 2007). A uniform prior probability distribution function is used for the MCMC method. We find the methods do equally well at determining the correct oscillation frequencies, although the Bayesian method is able to highlight the possibility of a misidentification due to aliasing, which can be useful. In general, we suggest that the least computationally intensive method is preferable.

Following Caron-Huot and combining results for the thermal dependence of spectral functions at large time-like momenta, we write an explicit expression for the thermal width of the Higgs boson to $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_\mathrm{s})$ for $T \ll M_H$. It is an $\mathcal{O}( \alpha_\mathrm{s} (T/M_H)^4 )$ correction for $H\to gg$ and $H\to q\bar{q}$. We also compile corresponding results for the thermal width of the $Z$-boson, and we recall which generic structures of the field theory, accessible via the operator product expansion, fix the $T/M$-dependence of the decay of heavy particles.

In this announcement, we report results on the existence of families of large-amplitude internal hydrodynamic bores. These are traveling front solutions of the full two-phase incompressible Euler equation in two dimensions. The fluids are bounded above and below by flat horizontal walls and acted upon by gravity. We obtain continuous curves of solutions to this system that bifurcate from the trivial solution where the interface is flat. Following these families to the their extreme, the internal interface either overturns, comes into contact with the upper wall, or develops a highly degenerate "double stagnation" point. Our construction is made possible by a new abstract machinery for global continuation of monotone front-type solutions to elliptic equations posed on infinite cylinders. This theory is quite robust and, in particular, can treat fully nonlinear equations as well as quasilinear problems with transmission boundary conditions.

Absorption of stellar H\alpha\ by the upper atmosphere of the planet HD189733b has recently been detected by Jensen et al. Motivated by this observation, we have developed a model for atomic hydrogen in the n=2 state and compared the resulting H\alpha\ line profile to the observations. The model atmosphere is in hydrostatic balance, as well as thermal and photoionization equilibrium. Collisional and radiative transitions are included in the determination of the n=2 state level population. We find that H\alpha\ absorption is dominated by an optical depth \tau\ ~ 1 shell, composed of hydrogen in the metastable 2s state that is located below the hydrogen ionization layer. The number density of the 2s state within the shell is found to vary slowly with radius, while that of the 1s state falls rapidly. Thus while the Ly\alpha absorption, for a certain wavelength, occurs inside a relatively well defined impact parameter, the contribution to H\alpha\ absorption is roughly uniform over the entire atomic hydrogen layer. The model can approximately reproduce the observed Ly\alpha\ and H\alpha\ integrated transit depths for HD189733b by using an ionization rate enhanced over that expected for the star by an order of magnitude. For HD 209458b, we are unable to explain the asymmetric H\alpha\ line profile observed by Jensen et al., as the model produces a symmetric line profile with transit depth comparable to that of HD 189733b. In an appendix, we study the effect of the stellar Ly\alpha\ absorption on the net cooling rate.

Given a smooth foliation by complex curves (locally around a point $x\in\mathbb{C}^2\setminus\{0\}$) which is "compatible" with the foliation by spheres centered at the origin, we construct a smooth real-valued function $g$ in a neighborhood of said point, which is positive, homogeneous and constant along the leaves. A corollary we obtain from this is relevant to the problem of "bumping out" certain pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^3$.

The novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has been declared to be a new international health emergence and no specific drug has been yet identified. Several methods are currently being evaluated such as protease and glycosylated spike (S) protein inhibitors, that outlines the main fusion site among coronavirus and host cells. Notwithstanding, the Heptad Repeat 1 (HR1) domain on the glycosylated spike (S) protein is the region with less mutability and then the most encouraging target for new inhibitors drugs.The novelty of the proposed approach, compared to others, lies in a precise training of a deep neural network toward the 2019-nCoV virus. Where a Siamese Neural Network (SNN) has been trained to distingue the whole 2019-nCoV protein sequence amongst two different viruses family such as HIV-1 and Ebola. In this way, the present deep learning system has precise knowledge of peptide linkage among 2019-nCoV protein structure and differently, of other works, is not trivially trained on public datasets that have not been provided any ligand-peptide information for 2019-nCoV. Suddenly, the SNN shows a sensitivity of $83\%$ of peptide affinity classification, where $3027$ peptides on SATPdb bank have been tested towards the specific region HR1 of 2019-nCoV exhibiting an affinity of $93\%$ for the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) peptide. This affinity between PPIase and HR1 can open new horizons of research since several scientific papers have already shown that CsA immunosuppression drug, a main inhibitor of PPIase, suppress the reproduction of different CoV virus included SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. Finally, to ensure the scientific reproducibility, code and data have been made public at the following link: https://github.com/bionick87/2019-nCoV

A Hermitian symplectic manifold is a complex manifold endowed with a symplectic form $\omega$, for which the bilinear form $\omega(I\cdot,\cdot)$ is positive definite. In this work we prove $dd^c$-lemma for 1- and (1,1)-forms for compact Hermitian symplectic manifolds of dimension 3. This shows that Albanese map for such manifolds is well-defined and allows one to prove K\"ahlerness if the dimension of the Albanese image of a manifold is maximal.

Program logics for bug-finding (such as the recently introduced Incorrectness Logic) have framed correctness and incorrectness as dual concepts requiring different logical foundations. In this paper, we argue that a single unified theory can be used for both correctness and incorrectness reasoning. We present Outcome Logic (OL), a novel generalization of Hoare Logic that is both monadic (to capture computational effects) and monoidal (to reason about outcomes and reachability). OL expresses true positive bugs, while retaining correctness reasoning abilities as well. To formalize the applicability of OL to both correctness and incorrectness, we prove that any false OL specification can be disproven in OL itself. We also use our framework to reason about new types of incorrectness in nondeterministic and probabilistic programs. Given these advances, we advocate for OL as a new foundational theory of correctness and incorrectness.

We make an extension of the model to the motion in the transverse plane which introduces a dependence of the suppression on the azimuthal angle $\theta_R$. We obtain values of the elliptic flow $v_{2}$ close to the experimental ones for all values of $p_T$.

We describe a rational approach to reduce the computational and communication complexities of lossless point-to-point compression for computation with side information. The traditional method relies on building a characteristic graph with vertices representing the source symbols and with edges that assign a source symbol to a collection of independent sets to be distinguished for the exact recovery of the function. Our approach uses fractional coloring for a b-fold coloring of characteristic graphs to provide a linear programming relaxation to the traditional coloring method and achieves coding at a fine-grained granularity. We derive the fundamental lower bound for compression, given by the fractional characteristic graph entropy, through generalizing the notion of K\"orner's graph entropy. We demonstrate the coding gains of fractional coloring over traditional coloring via a computation example. We conjecture that the integrality gap between fractional coloring and traditional coloring approaches the smallest b that attains the fractional chromatic number to losslessly represent the independent sets for a given characteristic graph, up to a linear scaling which is a function of the fractional chromatic number.

Modifying phonon thermal conductivity in nanomaterials is important not only for fundamental research but also for practical applications. However, the experiments on tailoring the thermal conductivity in nanoscale, especially in two-dimensional materials, are rare due to technical challenges. In this work, we demonstrate in-situ thermal conduction measurement of MoS2 and find that its thermal conductivity can be continuously tuned to a required value from crystalline to amorphous limits. The reduction of thermal conductivity is understood from phonon-defects scatterings that decrease the phonon transmission coefficient. Beyond a threshold, a sharp drop in thermal conductivity is observed, which is believed to be a crystalline-amorphous transition. Our method and results provide guidance for potential applications in thermoelectrics, photoelectronics, and energy harvesting where thermal management is critical with further integration and miniaturization.

Spontaneous Lorentz violation is a viable mechanism to look for Planck scale physics. In this work, we study spontaneous Lorentz violation models, in flat spacetime, where a vector field produces such a violation and matter is modeled by a complex scalar field. We show that it is possible to construct a Hamilton density for which the evolution respects the dynamical constraints. However, we also find that the initial data, as required by standard field theory, does not determine the fields evolution in a unique way. In addition, we present some examples where the physical effects of such ambiguities can be recognized. As a consequence, the proposals in which the electromagnetic and gravitational interactions emerge from spontaneous Lorentz violation are challenged.

Multicomponent lipid mixtures exhibit complex phase behavior, including coexistence of nanoscopic fluid phases in ternary mixtures mimicking the composition of the outer leaflet of mammalian plasma membrane. The physical mechanisms responsible for the small size of phase domains are unknown, due in part to the difficulty of determining the size and lifetime distributions of small, fleeting domains. Steady-state FRET provides information about the spatial distribution of lipid fluorophores in a membrane, and with an appropriate model can be used to determine the size of phase domains. Starting from a radial distribution function for a binary hard disk fluid, we develop a domain size-dependent model for stimulated acceptor emission. We compare the results of the model to two similar, recently published models.

http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
Estimating 3D human poses from video is a challenging problem. The lack of 3D human pose annotations is a major obstacle for supervised training and for generalization to unseen datasets. In this work, we address this problem by proposing a weakly-supervised training scheme that does not require 3D annotations or calibrated cameras. The proposed method relies on temporal information and triangulation. Using 2D poses from multiple views as the input, we first estimate the relative camera orientations and then generate 3D poses via triangulation. The triangulation is only applied to the views with high 2D human joint confidence. The generated 3D poses are then used to train a recurrent lifting network (RLN) that estimates 3D poses from 2D poses. We further apply a multi-view re-projection loss to the estimated 3D poses and enforce the 3D poses estimated from multi-views to be consistent. Therefore, our method relaxes the constraints in practice, only multi-view videos are required for training, and is thus convenient for in-the-wild settings. At inference, RLN merely requires single-view videos. The proposed method outperforms previous works on two challenging datasets, Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP. Codes and pretrained models will be publicly available.

We present a study of the nuclear activity in a well-defined sample of the most isolated galaxies in the local Universe traced by their far-infrared (FIR) and radio continuum emission. We use the well-known radio continuum-FIR correlation to select radio-excess galaxies that are candidates to host an active galactic nucleus (AGN), as well as the FIR colours to find obscured AGN candidates. The existing information on nuclear activity in the V\'eron-Cetty catalogue and in the NASA Extragalactic Database are also used. A final catalogue of AGN-candidate galaxies has been produced. It contains 89 AGN candidates and is publicly available on the AMIGA web page (http://www.iaa.csic.es/AMIGA.html). At most ~ 1.5 % of the galaxies shows a radio-excess with respect to the radio-FIR correlation, and this fraction even goes down to less than 0.8 % after rejection of back/foreground sources. We find that the fraction of FIR colour selected AGN-candidates is ~ 28 % with a lower limit of ~ 7 %. A comparison with the results from the literature shows that the AMIGA sample has the lowest ratio of AGN candidates, both globally and separated into early and late types. Field galaxies as well as poor cluster and group environments show intermediate values, while the highest rates of AGN candidates are found in the central parts of clusters and in pair/merger dominated samples. We conclude that the environment plays a crucial and direct role in triggering radio nuclear activity and not only via the density-morphology relation. Isolated, early-type galaxies show a particularly low level of activity at radio wavelengths hence constituting the most nurture-free population of luminous early-type galaxies.

The bar rotation rate as a diagnostic of dark matter content in the centre of disc galaxies

We investigate the link between the bar rotation rate and dark matter content in barred galaxies by concentrating on the cases of the lenticular galaxies NGC4264 and NGC4277. These two gas-poor galaxies have similar morphologies, sizes, and luminosities. But, NGC4264 hosts a fast bar, which extends to nearly the corotation, while the bar embedded in NGC4277 is slow and falls short of corotation. We derive the fraction of dark matter $f_{\rm DM, bar}$ within the bar region from Jeans axisymmetric dynamical models by matching the stellar kinematics obtained with the MUSE integral-field spectrograph and using SDSS images to recover the stellar mass distribution. We build mass-follows-light models as well as mass models with a spherical halo of dark matter, which is not tied to the stars. We find that the inner regions of NGC4277 host a larger fraction of dark matter ($f_{\rm DM, bar} = 0.53 \pm 0.02$) with respect to NGC4264 ($f_{\rm DM, bar} = 0.33 \pm 0.04$) in agreement with the predictions of theoretical works and the findings of numerical simulations, which have found that fast bars live in baryon-dominated discs, whereas slow bars experienced a strong drag from the dynamical friction due to a dense DM halo. This is the first time that the bar rotation rate is coupled to $f_{\rm DM, bar}$ derived from dynamical modelling.

SN2010da/NGC 300 ULX-1 was first detected as a supernova impostor in May 2010 and was recently discovered to be a pulsating ultraluminous X-ray source. In this letter, we present VLT/X-shooter spectra of this source obtained in October 2018, covering the wavelength range 350-2300 nm. The $J$- and $H$-bands clearly show the presence of a red supergiant donor star that is best matched by a MARCS stellar atmosphere with $T_{\rm eff} = 3650 - 3900$ K and $\log(L_{\rm bol}/L_{\odot}) = 4.25\pm0.10$, which yields a stellar radius $R = 310 \pm 70 R_{\odot}$. To fit the full spectrum, two additional components are required: a blue excess that can be fitted either by a hot blackbody (T $\gtrsim 20,000$ K) or a power law (spectral index $\alpha \approx 4$) and is likely due to X-ray emission reprocessed in the outer accretion disk or the donor star; and a red excess that is well fitted by a blackbody with a temperature of $\sim 1100$ K, and is likely due to warm dust in the vicinity of SN2010da. The presence of a red supergiant in this system implies an orbital period of at least 0.8-2.1 years, assuming Roche lobe overflow. Given the large donor-to-compact object mass ratio, orbital modulations of the radial velocity of the red supergiant are likely undetectable. However, the radial velocity amplitude of the neutron star is large enough (up to 40-60 km s$^{-1}$) to potentially be measured in the future, unless the system is viewed at a very unfavorable inclination.

In this paper, we introduce a novel deep-learning method to align cross-spectral images. Our approach relies on a learned descriptor which is invariant to different spectra. Multi-modal images of the same scene capture different signals and therefore their registration is challenging and it is not solved by classic approaches. To that end, we developed a feature-based approach that solves the visible (VIS) to Near-Infra-Red (NIR) registration problem. Our algorithm detects corners by Harris and matches them by a patch-metric learned on top of CIFAR-10 network descriptor. As our experiments demonstrate we achieve a high-quality alignment of cross-spectral images with a sub-pixel accuracy. Comparing to other existing methods, our approach is more accurate in the task of VIS to NIR registration.

A new swampland criterion has recently been proposed. As a consequence, it forbids the existence of de Sitter solutions in a low energy effective theory of a quantum gravity. However, there exist classical de Sitter solutions of ten-dimensional (10d) type II supergravities, even though they are unstable. This appears at first sight in contradiction with the criterion. Beyond possible doubts on the validity of these solutions, we propose two answers to this apparent puzzle. A first possibility is that the known 10d solutions always exhibit an energy scale of order or higher than a Kaluza-Klein scale, as we argue. A corresponding 4d low energy effective theory would then differ from the usual consistent truncations, and as we explain, would not admit a de Sitter solution. This would reconcile the existence of these 10d de Sitter solutions with the 4d criterion. A second, alternative possibility is to have a refined swampland criterion, that we propose. It forbids to have both the existence and the stability of a de Sitter solution, while unstable solutions are still allowed.

A simple solvable toy model exhibiting effective restoration of chiral symmetry in excited hadrons is constructed. A salient feature is that while physics of the low-lying states is crucially determined by the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry, in the high-lying states the effects of chiral symmetry breaking represent only a small correction. Asymptotically the states approach the regime where their properties are determined by the underlying unbroken chiral symmetry.

Memristors provide a tempting solution for weighted synapse connections in neuromorphic computing due to their size and non-volatile nature. However, memristors are unreliable in the commonly used voltage-pulse-based programming approaches and require precisely shaped pulses to avoid programming failure. In this paper, we demonstrate a current-limiting-based solution that provides a more predictable analog memory behavior when reading and writing memristive synapses. With our proposed design READ current can be optimized by about 19x compared to the 1T1R design. Moreover, our proposed design saves about 9x energy compared to the 1T1R design. Our 3T1R design also shows promising write operation which is less affected by the process variation in MOSFETs and the inherent stochastic behavior of memristors. Memristors used for testing are hafnium oxide based and were fabricated in a 65nm hybrid CMOS-memristor process. The proposed design also shows linear characteristics between the voltage applied and the resulting resistance for the writing operation. The simulation and measured data show similar patterns with respect to voltage pulse-based programming and current compliance-based programming. We further observed the impact of this behavior on neuromorphic-specific applications such as a spiking neural network

Recently, the existence of a pointlike pertuber PX with $1~m_\textrm{Mars}\lesssim m_\textrm{X}\lesssim 2.4~m_\oplus$ supposedly moving at $65-80~\textrm{AU}$ along a moderately inclined orbit has been hypothesized in order to explain certain features of the midplane of the Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs). We preliminarily selected two possible scenarios for such a PX, and numerically simulated its effect on the Earth-Saturn range $\rho(t)$ by varying some of its orbital parameters over a certain time span; then, we compared our results with some existing actual range residuals. By assuming $m_\textrm{X} = 1~m_\textrm{Mars}$ and a circular orbit, such a putative new member of our Solar System would nominally perturb $\rho(t)$ by a few km over $\Delta t = 12~\textrm{yr}~(2004-2016)$. However, the Cassini spaceraft accurately measured $\rho(t)$ to the level of $\sigma_\rho\simeq 100~\textrm{m}$. Nonetheless, such a scenario should not be considered as necessarily ruled out since the Cassini data were reduced so far without explicitly modeling any PX. Indeed, a NASA JPL team recently demonstrated that an extra-signature as large as 4 km affecting the Kronian range would be almost completely absorbed in fitting incomplete dynamical models, i.e. without PX itself, to such simulated data, thus not showing up in the standard post-fit range residuals. Larger anomalous signatures would instead occur for $m_\textrm{X} > 1~m_\textrm{Mars}$. Their nominal} amplitude could be as large as $50-150~\textrm{km}$ for $m_\textrm{X} = 2.4~m_\oplus$, thus making less plausible their existence.

The work presented at this workshop is divided into two parts. In the first part, the mass and decay width of the $\phi$-meson in cold nuclear matter are computed in an effective Lagrangian approach. The medium dependence of these properties are obtained by evaluating kaon-antikaon loop contributions to the $\phi$-meson self-energy, employing medium-modified kaon masses calculated using the quark-meson coupling model. The loop integral is regularized with a dipole form factor, and the sensitivity of the results to the choice of cutoff mass in the form factor is investigated. At normal nuclear matter density, we find a downward shift of the $\phi$ mass by a few percent, while the decay width is enhanced by an order of magnitude. Our results support the literature which suggest that one should observe a small downward mass shift and a large broadening of the decay width. In the second part, we present $\phi$-meson--nucleus bound state energies and absorption widths for four selected nuclei, calculated by solving the Klein-Gordon equation with complex optical potentials. The attractive potential for the $\phi$-meson in the nuclear medium originates from the in-medium enhanced KK loop in the $\phi$-meson selfenergy. The results suggest that the $\phi$-meson should form bound states with all the nuclei considered. However, the identification of the signal for these predicted bound states will need careful investigation because of their sizable absorption widths.

Refined are the known descriptions of particle behavior with the help of Hamilton function in the phase space of coordinates and their multiple derivatives. This entails existing of circumstances when at closer distances gravitational effects can prove considerably more strong than in case of this situation being calculated with the help of Hamilton function in the phase space of coordinates and their first derivatives. For example, this may be the case if the gravitational potential is described as a power series in 1/r. At short distances the space metrics fluctuations may also be described by a divergent power series; henceforth, these fluctuations at smaller distances also constitute a power series, i.e. they are functions of 1/r. For such functions, the average of the coordinate equals zero if the frame of reference coincides with the point of origin.

Inverse linear programming (LP) has received increasing attention due to its potential to generate efficient optimization formulations that can closely replicate the behavior of a complex system. However, inversely inferred parameters and corresponding forward solutions from the existing inverse LP method can be highly sensitive to noise, errors, and uncertainty in the input data, limiting its applicability in data-driven settings. We introduce the notion of inverse and forward stability in inverse LP and propose a novel inverse LP method that determines a set of objective functions that are stable under data imperfection and generate solutions close to the relevant subset of the data. We formulate the inverse model as a mixed-integer program and elucidate its connection to bi-clique problems, which we exploit to develop efficient heuristics. We also show how this method can be used for online learning. We numerically evaluate the stability of the proposed method and demonstrate its practical use in the diet recommendation and transshipment applications.

Our goal in this work is to expand the theory and practice of robot locomotion by addressing critical challenges associated with the robotic biomimicry of bat aerial locomotion. Bats wings exhibit fast wing articulation and can mobilize as many as 40 joints within a single wingbeat. Mimicking bat flight can be a significant ordeal and the current design paradigms have failed as they assume only closed-loop feedback roles through sensors and conventional actuators while ignoring the computational role carried by morphology. In this paper, we propose a design framework called Morphing via Integrated Mechanical Intelligence and Control (MIMIC) which integrates small and low energy actuators to control the robot through a change in morphology. In this paper, using the dynamic model of Northeastern University's Aerobat, which is designed to test the effectiveness of the MIMIC framework, it will be shown that computational structures and closed-loop feedback can be successfully used to mimic bats stable flight apparatus.

It is shown that the fluctuations of the jamming coverage upon Random Sequential Adsorption ($\sigma_{\theta_J}$), decay with the lattice size according to the power-law $\sigma_{\theta_J} \propto L^{-1 / \nu_J}$, with $\nu_{J} = 2 / (2D - d_f)$, where $D$ is the dimension of the substrate and $d_{\rm f}$ is the fractal dimension of the set of sites belonging to the substrate where the RSA process actually takes place. This result is in excellent agreement with the figure recently reported by Vandewalle {\it et al} ({\it Eur. Phys. J.} B. {\bf 14}, 407 (2000)), namely $\nu_J = 1.0 (1)$ for the RSA of needles with $D = 2$ and $d_f = 2$, that gives $\nu_J = 1$. Furthermore, our prediction is in excellent agreement with different previous numerical results. The derived relationships are also confirmed by means of extensive numerical simulations applied to the RSA of dimers on both stochastic and deterministic fractal substrates.

We present a method for novel view synthesis from input images that are freely distributed around a scene. Our method does not rely on a regular arrangement of input views, can synthesize images for free camera movement through the scene, and works for general scenes with unconstrained geometric layouts. We calibrate the input images via SfM and erect a coarse geometric scaffold via MVS. This scaffold is used to create a proxy depth map for a novel view of the scene. Based on this depth map, a recurrent encoder-decoder network processes reprojected features from nearby views and synthesizes the new view. Our network does not need to be optimized for a given scene. After training on a dataset, it works in previously unseen environments with no fine-tuning or per-scene optimization. We evaluate the presented approach on challenging real-world datasets, including Tanks and Temples, where we demonstrate successful view synthesis for the first time and substantially outperform prior and concurrent work.

The class of commuting quantum circuits known as IQP (instantaneous quantum polynomial-time) has been shown to be hard to simulate classically, assuming certain complexity-theoretic conjectures. Here we study the power of IQP circuits in the presence of physically motivated constraints. First, we show that there is a family of sparse IQP circuits that can be implemented on a square lattice of n qubits in depth O(sqrt(n) log n), and which is likely hard to simulate classically. Next, we show that, if an arbitrarily small constant amount of noise is applied to each qubit at the end of any IQP circuit whose output probability distribution is sufficiently anticoncentrated, there is a polynomial-time classical algorithm that simulates sampling from the resulting distribution, up to constant accuracy in total variation distance. However, we show that purely classical error-correction techniques can be used to design IQP circuits which remain hard to simulate classically, even in the presence of arbitrary amounts of noise of this form. These results demonstrate the challenges faced by experiments designed to demonstrate quantum supremacy over classical computation, and how these challenges can be overcome.

We show that an iteration of the procedure used to define the Gorenstein projective modules over a commutative ring $R$ yields exactly the Gorenstein projective modules. Specifically, given an exact sequence of Gorenstein projective $R$-modules $G=...\xra{\partial^G_2}G_1\xra{\partial^G_1}G_0\xra{\partial^G_0} ...$ such that the complexes $\Hom_R(G,H)$ and $\Hom_R(H,G)$ are exact for each Gorenstein projective $R$-module $H$, the module $\coker(\partial^G_1)$ is Gorenstein projective. The proof of this result hinges upon our analysis of Gorenstein subcategories of abelian categories.

Armchair graphene nanoribbons, when forming a superlattice, can be classified in different topological phases, with or without edge states. By means of tight-binding and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we studied the electronic and mechanical properties of some of these superlattices. MD shows that fracture in modulated superlattices is brittle, as for unmodulated ribbons, and that occurs at the thinner regions, with staggered superlattices achieving a larger fracture strain. We found a general mechanism to induce a topological transition with strain, related to the electronic properties of each segment of the superlattice, and by studying the sublattice polarization we were able to characterize the transition and the response of these states to the strain. For the cases studied in detail here, the topological transition occurred at $\sim$3-5 \% strain, well below the fracture strain. The topological states of the superlattice -- if present -- are robust to strain even close to fracture. Unlike the zero-energy edge states found in the zig-zag edges of graphene nanoribbons, the superlattice states shows signatures of being particularly insensitive to disorder, even in real space.

Advances of quantum control technology have led to nearly perfect single-qubit control of nuclear spins and atomic hyperfine ground states. In contrast, quantum control of strong optical transitions, even for free atoms, are far from being perfect. Developments of such quantum control appears to be bottlenecked by available laser technology for generating isolated, sub-nanosecond optical waveforms with sub-THz programming bandwidth. Here we propose a simple and robust method for the desired pulse shaping, based on precisely stacking multiple delayed picosecond pulses. Our proof-of-principal demonstration leads to arbitrarily shapeable optical waveforms with 30~GHz bandwidth and $100~$ps duration. We confirm the stability of the waveforms by interfacing the pulses with laser-cooled atoms, resulting in ``super-resolved'' spectroscopic signals. This pulse shaping method may open exciting perspectives in quantum optics, and for fast laser cooling and atom interferometry with mode-locked lasers.

Visualizing optimization landscapes has led to many fundamental insights in numeric optimization, and novel improvements to optimization techniques. However, visualizations of the objective that reinforcement learning optimizes (the "reward surface") have only ever been generated for a small number of narrow contexts. This work presents reward surfaces and related visualizations of 27 of the most widely used reinforcement learning environments in Gym for the first time. We also explore reward surfaces in the policy gradient direction and show for the first time that many popular reinforcement learning environments have frequent "cliffs" (sudden large drops in expected return). We demonstrate that A2C often "dives off" these cliffs into low reward regions of the parameter space while PPO avoids them, confirming a popular intuition for PPO's improved performance over previous methods. We additionally introduce a highly extensible library that allows researchers to easily generate these visualizations in the future. Our findings provide new intuition to explain the successes and failures of modern RL methods, and our visualizations concretely characterize several failure modes of reinforcement learning agents in novel ways.

We propose a new optical biosensor based on a photonic crystal with a defect layer, which can determine the SARS-CoV-2 concentration in water by the defect mode shift. Two models of the dependence of the refractive index of the defect layer on the concentration of the pathogen in water were considered. The optimal parameters for the photonic crystal in our device and the optimal thickness of the defect layer were determined. It was also demonstrated that in the presence of absorption in the investigated structure it is much more advantageous to work in the reflection mode compared to the transmission mode. Finally, the wavelength dependence of the defect mode on the SARS-CoV-2 concentration was obtained and the sensitivity of the sensor was determined.

Motivated by the tantalizing excesses recently reported in the di-photon invariant mass spectrum at the LHC, we scrutinize some implications of scalar di-photon resonances in high energy proton-proton collisions. In particular, indications of a large width impose several challenges for model building. We show how calculability and unitarity considerations severely limit possible perturbative realizations of such a signal and propose a simple criterion that can be adapted to any renormalizable model. Furthermore, we discuss correlations between a di-photon excess and precision observables, including the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of quarks and leptons, neutral meson oscillations and radiative flavor changing neutral current mediated decays of heavy leptons and hadrons. We find that existing searches and measurements significantly constrain the possibilities for a scalar resonance decaying into final states involving Standard Model fermions. We propose future search strategies which could elucidate some remaining currently unconstrained decay channels and discuss possible correlations between the di-photon excess and several recently reported flavor anomalies, showing that the latter can be addressed in a new incarnation of a gauged $U(1)^\prime$ model, with the di-photon resonance being the physical remnant of the $U(1)^\prime$-breaking field.

We look for spherically symmetric star or black hole solutions on a Randall-Sundrum brane from the perspective of the bulk. We take a known bulk solution, and analyse possible braneworld trajectories within it that correspond, from the braneworld point of view, to solutions of the brane Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations. Our solutions are therefore embedded consistently into a full bulk solution. We find the full set of static gravitating matter sources on a brane in a range of bulk spacetimes, analyzing which can correspond to physically sensible sources. Finally, we look at time-dependent trajectories in a Schwarzschild--anti de Sitter spacetime as possible descriptions of time-dependent braneworld black holes, highlighting some of the general features one might expect, as well as some of the difficulties involved in getting a full solution to the question.

We present FIES@NOT, HARPS-N@TNG, and [email protected] radial velocity follow-up observations of K2-19, a compact planetary system hosting three planets, of which the two larger ones, namely K2-19b and K2-19c, are close to the 3:2 mean motion resonance. An analysis considering only the radial velocity measurements detects K2-19b, the largest and most massive planet in the system, with a mass of $54.8\pm7.5$~M${_\oplus}$ and provides a marginal detection of K2-19c, with a mass of M$_\mathrm{c}$=$5.9^{+7.6}_{-4.3}$ M$_\oplus$. We also used the TRADES code to simultaneously model both our RV measurements and the existing transit-timing measurements. We derived a mass of $54.4\pm8.9$~M${_\oplus}$ for K2-19b and of $7.5^{+3.0}_{-1.4}$~M${_\oplus}$ for K2-19c. A prior K2-19b mass estimated by Barros et al. 2015, based principally on a photodynamical analysis of K2-19's light-curve, is consistent with both analysis, our combined TTV and RV analysis, and with our analysis based purely on RV measurements. Differences remain mainly in the errors of the more lightweight planet, driven likely by the limited precision of the RV measurements and possibly some yet unrecognized systematics.

We reinvestigate the massive stellar content of NGC3125 (Tol3) using VLT/FORS1 imaging & spectroscopy, plus archival VLT/ISAAC, HST/FOC and HST/STIS datasets. Narrow-band imaging confirms that A and B knots represent the primary sites of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, whilst HST imaging reveals that both regions host multiple clusters. Clusters A1 + A2 within region A host WR stars. altough is not clear which cluster within region B hosts WR stars. Nebular properties infer an LMC-like metallicity. LMC template WN5-6 & WC4 spectra are matched to the observed optical WR bumps of A1 and B, permitting the contribution of WC stars to the blue bump to be quantified. We obtain N(WN5-6:WC4)=105:20, 55:0, 40:20 for clusters A1, A2 and B1+B2, a factor of 3 lower than optical studies, as a result of a lower E(B-V). Using Starburst99 models to estimate O star populations for individual clusters, we find N(WR)/N(O)=0.2 for A1 and 0.1 for A2 and B1+B2. From Halpha imaging, the O star content of the Giant HII regions A and B is found to be a factor of 5-10 times higher than that derived spectroscopically for the UV/optically bright clusters, suggesting that NGC3125 hosts optically obscured young massive clusters, further supported by VLT/ISAAC K band imaging. Archival HST/STIS UV spectroscopy confirms the low E(B-V) towards A1, for which we have determined an SMC extinction law, in preference to an LMC or starburst law. We obtain N(WN5-6)=110 from the slit-loss corrected HeII 1640 line flux, in excellent agreement with optical result. However, this is a factor of 35 times lower than that inferred from the same dataset by Chandar et al. due to their use of a starburst extinction law. Highly discrepant stellar populations may result in spatially resolved star forming regions from UV and optical studies through use of different extinction laws.

We consider laser alignment of ortho and para spin isomers of water molecules by using strong and short off-resonance laser pulses. A single pulse is found to create a distinct transient alignment and antialignment of the isomeric species. We suggest selective alignment of one isomeric species (leaving the other species randomly aligned) by a pair of two laser pulses.

Information of localization properties of eigenvectors of the complex network has applicability in many different areas which include networks centrality measures, spectral partitioning, development of approximation algorithms, and disease spreading phenomenon. For linear dynamical process localization of principal eigenvector (PEV) of adjacency matrices infers condensation of the information in the smaller section of the network. For a network, an eigenvector is said to be localized when most of its components are near to zero with few taking very high values. Here, we provide three different random-sampling-based algorithms which, by using the edge rewiring method, can evolve a random network having a delocalized PEV to a network having a highly localized PEV. In other words, we develop a learning framework to explore the localization of PEV through a random sampling-based optimization method. We discuss the drawbacks and advantages of these algorithms. Additionally, we show that the construction of such networks corresponding to the highly localized PEV is a non-convex optimization problem when the objective function is the inverse participation ratio. This framework is also relevant to construct a network structure for other lower-order eigenvectors.

Liquid water within the cathode Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) and Gas Channel (GC) of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) is strongly coupled to gas transport properties, thereby affecting the electrochemical conversion rates. In this study, the GDL and GC regions are utilized as the simulation domain, which differs from previous studies that only focused on any one of them. A volume-of-fluid method is adopted to numerically investigate the two-phase flow (gas and liquid) behavior, e.g., water transport pattern evolution, water coverage ratio as well as local and total water saturation. To obtain GDL geometries, an in-house geometry-based method is developed for GDL reconstruction. Furthermore, to study the effect of GDL carbon fiber diameter, the same procedure is used to reconstruct three GDL structures by varying the carbon fiber diameter but keeping the porosity and geometric dimensions constant. The wall wettability is introduced with static contact angles at carbon fiber surfaces and channel walls. The results show that the GDL fiber microstructure has a significant impact on the two-phase flow patterns in the cathode field. Different stages of two-phase flow pattern evolution in both cathode domains are observed. Due to the difference in wettability, the water coverage of the GDL/GC interface is smaller than that of the channel side and top walls. It is also found that the water saturation inside the GDLs stabilizes after the water breakthrough, while local water saturation at the interface keeps irregular oscillations. Last but not the least, a water saturation balance requirement between the GDL and GC is observed. In terms of varying fiber diameter, a larger fiber diameter would result in less water saturation in the GDL but more water in the GC, in addition to faster water movement throughout the total domain.

We introduce a variational approximation to the microscopic dynamics of rare conformational transitions of macromolecules. Within this framework it is possible to simulate on a small computer cluster reactions as complex as protein folding, using state of the art all-atom force fields in explicit solvent. We test this method against molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the folding of an alpha- and a beta-protein performed with the same all-atom force field on the Anton supercomputer. We find that our approach yields results consistent with those of MD simulations, at a computational cost orders of magnitude smaller.

Canonical partition functions and Lee-Yang zeros of QCD at finite density and high temperature are studied. Recent lattice simulations have confirmed that the free energy of QCD is a quartic function of quark chemical potential at temperature slightly above pseudo-critical temperature $T_c$, as in the case with a gas of free massless fermions. We present analytic derivation of the canonical partition functions and Lee-Yang zeros for this type of free energy using the saddle point approximation. We also perform lattice QCD simulation in a canonical approach using the fugacity expansion of the fermion determinant, and carefully examine its reliability. By comparing the analytic and numerical results, we conclude that the canonical partition functions follow the Gaussian distribution of the baryon number, and the accumulation of Lee-Yang zeros of these canonical partition functions exhibit the first-order Roberge-Weiss phase transition. We discuss the validity and applicable range of the result and its implications both for theoretical and experimental studies.

We study solutions of the stellar structure equations for spherically symmetric objects in Palatini $f(R)=R+\alpha R^2$ and $f(R,Q)=R+\alpha R^2+\beta Q$ in the mass-radius region associated to neutron stars. We illustrate the potential impact of the $R^2$ and $Q$ terms by studying a range of viable values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$. Similarly, we use different equations of state (SLy, FPS, HS(DD2) and HS(TMA)) as a simple way to account for the equation of state uncertainty. Our results show that for certain combinations of the $\alpha$ and $\beta$ parameters and equation of state, the effect of modifications of general relativity on the properties of stars is sizeable. Therefore, with increasing accuracy in the determination of the equation of state for neutron stars, astrophysical observations may serve as discriminators of modifications of General Relativity.

The large nonlinear response of a single crystal ZrB$_{12}$ to an ac field (frequency 40 - 2500 Hz) for $H_0>H_{c2}$ has been observed. Direct measurements of the ac wave form and the exact numerical solution of the Ginzburg-Landau equations, as well as phenomenological relaxation equation, permit the study of the surface superconducting states dynamics. It is shown, that the low frequency response is defined by transitions between the metastable superconducting states under the action of an ac field. The relaxation rate which determines such transitions dynamics, is found.

Splitting the energy levels of a hydrogen-like atom by the electric field nonuniform at the atomic scale is studied. This situation is important for the multi-level treatment of the phenomenon of Rydberg blockade [Yu.V. Dumin, J. Phys. B, v.47, p.175502 (2014)]. An explicit formula for the energy levels is derived. A typical value of the energy shift by the electric field gradient turns out to be proportional to the 4th power of the principal quantum number (i.e., the square of atomic size), as would be expected from a qualitative consideration. Finally, the fine spatial structure of the Rydberg blockade is analyzed when the electric-field-gradient term plays the dominant role, and the results are confronted with the experimental data.

Cores of cooperative games are ubiquitous in information theory, and arise most frequently in the characterization of fundamental limits in various scenarios involving multiple users. Examples include classical settings in network information theory such as Slepian-Wolf source coding and multiple access channels, classical settings in statistics such as robust hypothesis testing, and new settings at the intersection of networking and statistics such as distributed estimation problems for sensor networks. Cooperative game theory allows one to understand aspects of all of these problems from a fresh and unifying perspective that treats users as players in a game, sometimes leading to new insights. At the heart of these analyses are fundamental dualities that have been long studied in the context of cooperative games; for information theoretic purposes, these are dualities between information inequalities on the one hand and properties of rate, capacity or other resource allocation regions on the other.

We study the generation of helical magnetic fields during single field inflation induced by an axial coupling of the electromagnetic field to the inflaton. During slow roll inflation, we find that such a coupling always leads to a blue spectrum with $B^2(k) \propto k$, as long as the theory is treated perturbatively. The magnetic energy density at the end of inflation is found to be typically too small to backreact on the background dynamics of the inflaton. We also show that a short deviation from slow roll does not result in strong modifications to the shape of the spectrum. We calculate the evolution of the correlation length and the field amplitude during the inverse cascade and viscous damping of the helical magnetic field in the radiation era after inflation. We conclude that except for low scale inflation with very strong coupling, the magnetic fields generated by such an axial coupling in single field slow roll inflation with perturbative coupling to the inflaton are too weak to provide the seeds for the observed fields in galaxies and clusters.

Relic Gravitational Waves with A Running Spectral Index and Its Constraints at High Frequencies

We study the impact of a running index $\alpha_t$ on the spectrum of relic gravitational waves (RGWs) over the whole range of frequency $(10^{-18}\sim 10^{10})$ Hz and reveal its implications in RGWs detections and in cosmology. Analytical calculations show that, although the spectrum of RGWs on low frequencies is less affected by $\alpha_t\ne 0$, but, on high frequencies, the spectrum is modified substantially. Investigations are made toward potential detections of the $\alpha_t$-modified RGWs for several kinds of current and planned detectors. The Advanced LIGO will likely be able to detect RGWs with $\alpha_t\ge 0$ for inflationary models with the inflation index $\beta=-1.956$ and the tensor-scalar ratio $r= 0.55$. The future LISA can detect RGWs for a much broader range of ($\alpha_t$, $\beta$, $r$), and will have a better chance to break a degeneracy between them. Constraints on $\alpha_t$ are estimated from several detections and cosmological observations. Among them, the most stringent one is from the bound of the Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), and requires $\alpha_t < 0.008$ rather conservatively for any reasonable ($\beta$, $r$), preferring a nearly power-law spectrum of RGWs. In light of this result, one would expect the scalar running index $\alpha_s$ to be of the same magnitude as $\alpha_t$, if both RGWs and scalar perturbations are generated by the same scalar inflation.

Multiple-GEM detectors are considered to be good candidates for tracking devices in experiments with high hadronic background. We present the results of the triple-GEM detectors beam test in a high intensity pion beam. The detectors had an optimized two-dimensional readout with minimized strip capacitance. Such optimization permitted the starting point of the efficiency plateau down to a gain of 5000. The probability of GEM discharges induced by heavily ionizing particles has been measured as a function of gain: at a gain of 20000 it amounts to 10^(-11) per incident particle. Such a value will ensure safe operation of the detector in the conditions of forward region of the LHC experiments.

The responsibility of the electric field $E$ in the modification of the nature of the space is proved. We investigate the way the fundamental strings are related to supergravity background of D5-branes; i.e. once the endpoints of the D-strings are electrified the flat space becomes curved. We study the electrified relative and overall transverse perturbations of fuzzy funnel solutions of intersecting $(N,N_f)$-strings and D5-branes in flat and supergravity backgrounds respectively. As result the perturbations have a discontinuity which corresponds to a zero phase shift realizing Polchinski's open string Neumann boundary condition. And once the electric field $E$ is turned on in flat space these perturbations decrease and when $E$ is close to the critical value $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ the perturbations disappear forever and the string coupling becomes strong. At this stage the space is considered curved and the electric field is responsible for this effect. This phenomena is also enhanced by the behavior of the potential $V$ associated to the perturbations $\Phi$ on the funnel solutions under the influence of the electric field. The potential goes too fast to $-\infty$ when $E$ goes to the critical value $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ in flat space which looks like a kink to increase the velocity for $\Phi$ to disappear. But in curved space and close to the intersecting point we do not find any perturbation for all $E$ and there is no effect of $E$ on $V$ and this is a sign to the absence of the perturbation effects in supergravity background. This clarifies the existence of a relation between the electric field and the supergravity background.

We find a nonlinear dependence between an indicator of the degree of multiscaling of log-price time series of a stock and the average correlation of the stock with respect to the other stocks traded in the same market. This result is a robust stylized fact holding for different financial markets. We investigate this result conditional on the stocks' capitalization and on the kurtosis of stocks' log-returns in order to search for possible confounding effects. We show that a linear dependence with the logarithm of the capitalization and the logarithm of kurtosis does not explain the observed stylized fact, which we interpret as being originated from a deeper relationship.

The concept of entanglement splitting is introduced by asking whether it is possible for a party possessing half of a pure bipartite quantum state to transfer some of his entanglement with the other party to a third party. We describe the unitary local transformation for symmetric and isotropic splitting of a singlet into two branches that leads to the highest entanglement of the output. The capacity of the resulting quantum channels is discussed. Using the same transformation for less than maximally entangled pure states, the entanglement of the resulting states is found. We discuss whether they can be used to do teleportation and to test the Bell inequality. Finally we generalize to entanglement splitting into more than two branches.

Chiral vertex-operators are defined for continuous quantum-group spins $J$ from free-field realizations of the Coulomb-gas type. It is shown that these generalized chiral vertex operators satisfy closed braiding relations on the unit circle, which are given by an extension in terms of orthogonal polynomials of the braiding matrix recently derived by Cremmer, Gervais and Roussel. This leads to a natural extension of the Liouville exponentials to continuous powers that remain local.

We use the heavy quark expansion to investigate the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_{B_s}$ between the $B_s$ mass eigenstates. The corrections of ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{QCD}/m_b)$ and ${\cal O}(m_s/m_b)$ to the leading order expression in the operator product expansion are derived and estimated to yield a sizable reduction of the leading result for $\Delta\Gamma_{B_s}$ by typically $30\%$. For completeness we also quantify small effects due to penguin operators and CKM suppressed contributions. Based on our results we discuss the prediction for $(\Delta\Gamma/\Gamma)_{B_s}$ with particular emphasis on theoretical uncertainties. We find $(\Delta\Gamma/\Gamma)_{B_s}=0.16^{+0.11}_{-0.09}$, where the large error is dominated by the uncertainty in hadronic matrix elements. An accuracy of about $10\%$ in $(\Delta\Gamma/\Gamma)_{B_s}$ should be within reach, assuming continuing progress in lattice calculations. In addition we address phenomenological issues and implications of a $\Delta\Gamma_{B_s}$ measurement for constraints on $\Delta M_{B_s}$ and CKM parameters. We further consider in some detail the lifetime ratio $\tau(B_s)/\tau(B_d)$ and estimate that, most likely, $|\tau(B_s)/\tau(B_d)-1|<1\%$.

Detailed description of procedures around architecture reviews. In order to succeed in building and deploying complex software solutions, an architecture is essential. For many in the industry structured reviews of these architectures is also de rigor. Practices for such reviews have been developed and reported on for years. One aspect that does not receive as much attention but is no less important is the relationship between these architectures and the requirements for deploying them into production environments. At Wolters Kluwer's Corporate Legal Services we first established a typical architecture review process and then established a two phase production preparation review process. This paper describes in detail how these practices work and some of the technical results of these reviews including the frequency and style of the reviews, the process automation around them, and the number and nature of some of the technical flaws eliminated by enforcing these reviews. This paper lays the ground work for others who would be interested in following similar practices.

Molecular machines described in this paper are meant to be such molecular systems that make use of conformational mobility (i.e. hindered rotation around chemical bonds and molecular construction deformations with formation and breakage of nonvalent bonds). Components of molecular machines move mainly by means of restricted diffusion. As an example of molecular machines of a nonbiological nature catenanes (compounds with two interlocked molecular rings)can be proposed. Thus, for example, model catenane ((2)-(cyclo-bis(paraquat-p-phenylene))-(1(2,6)-tetrathiafulvalena-16(1,5)naphta lena-3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29-decaoxatnacontaphane)-catenane) changes its redox status when an electric field is applied, and rotation of the rings takes place. It occurs with fixation at certain moments of the influence. To find out characteristic properties of rings movements under various external conditions molecular dynamics simulation was carried out. Three cationic forms of the catenane were first subjected to geometrical optimization and quantum chemical calculation.

At the heart of today's solar magnetic field evolution models lies the alpha dynamo description. In this work, we investigate the fate of alpha-dynamos as the magnetic Reynolds number $Rm$ is increased. Using Floquet theory, we are able to precisely quantify mean field effects like the alpha and beta effect (i) by rigorously distinguishing dynamo modes that involve large scale components from the ones that only involve small scales, and by (ii) providing a way to investigate arbitrary large scale separations with minimal computational cost. We apply this framework to helical and non-helical flows as well as to random flows with short correlation time. Our results determine that the alpha-description is valid for $Rm$ smaller than a critical value $Rm_c$ at which small scale dynamo instability starts. When $Rm$ is above $Rm_c$ the dynamo ceases to follow the mean field description and the growth rate of the large scale modes becomes independent of the scale separation while the energy in the large scale modes is inversely proportional to the square of the scale separation. The results in this second regime do not depend on the presence of helicity. Thus alpha-type modeling for solar and stellar models needs to be reevaluated and new directions for mean field modeling are proposed.

Based on a generalized one-band Hubbard model, we study magnetic properties of Mott insulating states for ultracold spin-3/2 fermionic atoms in optical lattices. When the \textit{s}-wave scattering lengths for the total spin $S=2,0$ satisfy conditions $a_{2}>a_{0}>0$, we apply a functional integral approach to the half filled case, where the spin-quadrupole fluctuations dominate. On a 2D square lattice, the saddle point solution yields a staggered spin-quadrupole ordering at zero temperature with symmetry breaking from SO(5) to SO(4). Both spin and spin-quadrupole static structure factors are calculated, displaying highly anisotropic spin antiferromagnetic fluctuations and antiferroquadrupole long-range correlations, respectively. When Gaussian fluctuations around the saddle point are taken into account, spin-quadrupole density waves with a linear dispersion are derived. Compared with the spin density waves in the half filled spin-1/2 Hubbard model, the quadrupole density wave velocity is saturated in the strong-coupling limit, and there are no transverse spin-quadrupole mode couplings, as required by the SO(4) invariance of the effective action. Finally, in the strong-coupling limit of the model Hamiltonian, we derive the effective hyperfine spin-exchange interactions for the Mott insulating phases in the quarter filled and half filled cases, respectively.

Fine-Grained is Too Coarse: A Novel Data-Centric Approach for Efficient Scene Graph Generation

Learning to compose visual relationships from raw images in the form of scene graphs is a highly challenging task due to contextual dependencies, but it is essential in computer vision applications that depend on scene understanding. However, no current approaches in Scene Graph Generation (SGG) aim at providing useful graphs for downstream tasks. Instead, the main focus has primarily been on the task of unbiasing the data distribution for predicting more fine-grained relations. That being said, all fine-grained relations are not equally relevant and at least a part of them are of no use for real-world applications. In this work, we introduce the task of Efficient SGG that prioritizes the generation of relevant relations, facilitating the use of Scene Graphs in downstream tasks such as Image Generation. To support further approaches in this task, we present a new dataset, VG150-curated, based on the annotations of the popular Visual Genome dataset. We show through a set of experiments that this dataset contains more high-quality and diverse annotations than the one usually adopted by approaches in SGG. Finally, we show the efficiency of this dataset in the task of Image Generation from Scene Graphs. Our approach can be easily replicated to improve the quality of other Scene Graph Generation datasets.

We formulate the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a pair of maximally incompatible two-outcome measurements in a finite dimensional General Probabilistic Theory. The conditions are on the geometry of the state space, they require existence of two pairs of parallel exposed faces with additional condition on their intersections. We introduce the notion of discrimination measurement and show that the conditions for a pair of two-outcome measurements to be maximally incompatible are equivalent to requiring that a (potential, yet non-existing) joint measurement of the maximally incompatible measurements would have to discriminate affinely dependent points. We present several examples to demonstrate our results.

We consider an isolated point defect embedded in a homogeneous crystalline solid. We show that, in the harmonic approximation, a periodic supercell approximation of the formation free energy as well as of the transition rate between two stable configurations converge as the cell size tends to infinity. We characterise the limits and establish sharp convergence rates. Both cases can be reduced to a careful renormalisation analysis of the vibrational entropy difference, which is achieved by identifying an underlying spatial decomposition.

Annually the gaming industry spends approximately $15 billion in marketing reinvestment. However, this amount is spent without any consideration for the skill and luck of the player. For a casino, an unskilled player could fetch ~4 times more revenue than a skilled player. This paper describes a video recognition system that is based on an extension of the Mask R-CNN model. Our system digitizes the game of blackjack by detecting cards and player bets in real-time and processes decisions they took in order to create accurate player personas. Our proposed supervised learning approach consists of a specialized three-stage pipeline that takes images from two viewpoints of the casino table and does instance segmentation to generate masks on proposed regions of interest. These predicted masks along with derivative features are used to classify image attributes that are passed onto the next stage to assimilate the gameplay understanding. Our end-to-end model yields an accuracy of ~95% for the main bet detection and ~97% for card detection in a controlled environment trained using transfer learning approach with 900 training examples. Our approach is generalizable and scalable and shows promising results in varied gaming scenarios and test data. Such granular level gathered data, helped in understanding player's deviation from optimum strategy and thereby separate the skill of the player from the luck of the game. Our system also assesses the likelihood of card counting by correlating the player's betting pattern to the deck's scaled count. Such a system lets casinos flag fraudulent activity and calculate expected personalized profitability for each player and tailor their marketing reinvestment decisions.

A new supersymmetric grand unified model based on the gauge group $SU(5)\times SU(5)$ is discussed. The model has the feature that the conventional seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses is implemented using the $(15, 1)+(1,\bar{15)}$ representation. This multiplet may have a better chance of arising from level two compactification of superstring theories than the the ${bf \bar{126}}$ representation used in the SO(10) model. The model also naturally suppresses all R-parity violating interactions.

The interaction correction to the conductivity of 2D hole gas in strained GaAs/In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As/GaAs quantum well structures was studied. It is shown that the Zeeman splitting, spin relaxation and ballistic contribution should be taking into account for reliable determination of the Fermi-liquid constant $F_0^\sigma$. The proper consideration of these effects allows us to describe both th temperature and magnetic field dependences of the conductivity and find the value of $F_0^\sigma$.

Development of resource-friendly quantum algorithms remains highly desirable for noisy intermediate-scale quantum computing. Based on the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) with unitary coupled cluster ansatz, we demonstrate that partitioning of the Hilbert space made possible by the point group symmetry of the molecular systems greatly reduces the number of variational operators by confining the variational search within a subspace. In addition, we found that instead of including all subterms for each excitation operator, a single-term representation suffices to reach required accuracy for various molecules tested, resulting in an additional shortening of the quantum circuit. With these strategies, VQE calculations on a noiseless quantum simulator achieve energies within a few meVs of those obtained with the full UCCSD ansatz for $\mathrm{H}_4$ square, $\mathrm{H}_4$ chain and $\mathrm{H}_6$ hexagon molecules; while the number of controlled-NOT (CNOT) gates, a measure of the quantum-circuit depth, is reduced by a factor of as large as 35. Furthermore, we introduced an efficient "score" parameter to rank the excitation operators, so that the operators causing larger energy reduction can be applied first. Using $\mathrm{H}_4$ square and $\mathrm{H}_4$ chain as examples, We demonstrated on noisy quantum simulators that the first few variational operators can bring the energy within the chemical accuracy, while additional operators do not improve the energy since the accumulative noise outweighs the gain from the expansion of the variational ansatz.

A new method has been considered to investigate the scattering reactions with photons on fully ionized nuclei. To induce $\gamma $-nucleus collisions a free electron laser and a heavy ion synchrotron have been considered bringing them together. Main parameters of the collider (especially LHC and HERA for the acceleration of nuclei) have been estimated. Rough calculations have also been made for the cross sections of the excited nuclei production. Finally, some design problems involving the collider have been considered.

In this paper, the Hermite polynomials are employed to study linear approximation models of narrowband multiantenna signal reception (i.e., MIMO) with low-resolution quantizations. This study results in a novel linear approximation using the second-order Hermite expansion (SOHE). The SOHE model is not based on those assumptions often used in existing linear approximations. Instead, the quantization distortion is characterized by the second-order Hermite kernel, and the signal term is characterized by the first-order Hermite kernel. It is shown that the SOHE model can explain almost all phenomena and characteristics observed so far in the low-resolution MIMO signal reception. When the SOHE model is employed to analyze the linear minimum-mean-square-error (LMMSE) channel equalizer, it is revealed that the current LMMSE algorithm can be enhanced by incorporating a symbol-level normalization mechanism. The performance of the enhanced LMMSE algorithm is demonstrated through computer simulations for narrowband MIMO systems in Rayleigh fading channels.

An $H$-decomposition of $G$ is a partition of the edge-set of $G$ into subsets, where each subset induces a copy of the graph $H$. A $k$-orthogonal $H$-decomposition of a graph $G$ is a set of $k$ $H$-decompositions of $G$, such that any two copies of $H$ in distinct $H$-decompositions intersect in at most one edge. When $G=K_v$ we call the $H$-decomposition an $H$-system of order $v$. In this paper we consider the case $H$ is an $l$-cycle and construct a pair of orthogonal $l$-cycle systems for all admissible orders when $l=5,6,7, 8\ or\ 9$, except $(l,v)=(7,7)$ and $(l,v)=(9,9)$.

We introduce a new approach for solving forward systems of differential equations using a combination of splitting methods and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). The proposed method, splitting PINN, effectively addresses the challenge of applying PINNs to forward dynamical systems and demonstrates improved accuracy through its application to neuron models. Specifically, we apply operator splitting to decompose the original neuron model into sub-problems that are then solved using PINNs. Moreover, we develop an $L^1$ scheme for discretizing fractional derivatives in fractional neuron models, leading to improved accuracy and efficiency. The results of this study highlight the potential of splitting PINNs in solving both integer- and fractional-order neuron models, as well as other similar systems in computational science and engineering.

Hybrid quantum systems aim at combining the advantages of different physical systems and to produce novel quantum devices. In particular, the hybrid combination of superconducting circuits and spins in solid-state crystals is a versatile platform to explore many quantum electrodynamics problems. Recently, the remote coupling of nitrogen-vacancy center spins in diamond via a superconducting bus was demonstrated. However, a rigorous experimental test of the quantum nature of this hybrid system and in particular entanglement is still missing. We review the theoretical ideas to generate and detect entanglement, and present our own scheme to achieve this.

This paper presents a finite-time heterogeneous cyclic pursuit scheme that ensures consensus among agents modelled as integrators. It is shown that for the proposed sliding mode control, even when the gains corresponding to each agent are non-identical, consensus results within a finite-time provided all the gains are positive. An algorithm is presented to compute the consensus value and consensus time for a given set of gains and initial states of the agents. The set of values where consensus can occur, by varying the gains, has been derived and a second algorithm aids in determining the gains that enable consensus at any point in the aforementioned set, within a given finite-time. As an application, the finite-time consensus in line-of-sight (LOS) rates, over a cycle digraph, for a group of interceptors is shown to be effective in ensuring co-operative collision-free interception of a target, for both kinematic and realistic models of the interceptors. Simulations vindicate the theoretical results.

We describe some solvable models which illustrate the Jarzynski theorem and related fluctuation theorems. We consider a charged particle in the presence of magnetic field in a two dimensional harmonic well. In the first case the centre of the harmonic potential is translated with a uniform velocity, while in the other case the particle is subjected to an ac force. We show that Jarzynski identity complements Bohr-van Leeuwen theorem on the absence of diamagnetism in equilibrium classical system.

Data used in deep learning is notoriously problematic. For example, data are usually combined from diverse sources, rarely cleaned and vetted thoroughly, and sometimes corrupted on purpose. Intentional corruption that targets the weak spots of algorithms has been studied extensively under the label of "adversarial attacks." In contrast, the arguably much more common case of corruption that reflects the limited quality of data has been studied much less. Such "random" corruptions are due to measurement errors, unreliable sources, convenience sampling, and so forth. These kinds of corruption are common in deep learning, because data are rarely collected according to strict protocols -- in strong contrast to the formalized data collection in some parts of classical statistics. This paper concerns such corruption. We introduce an approach motivated by very recent insights into median-of-means and Le Cam's principle, we show that the approach can be readily implemented, and we demonstrate that it performs very well in practice. In conclusion, we believe that our approach is a very promising alternative to standard parameter training based on least-squares and cross-entropy loss.
