We construct the derived scheme of stable sheaves on a smooth projective variety via derived moduli of finite graded modules over a graded ring. We do this by dividing the derived scheme of actions of Ciocan-Fontanine and Kapranov by a suitable algebraic gauge group. We show that the natural notion of GIT-stability for graded modules reproduces stability for sheaves.
The momentum, electronic density, spin density, and interaction dependences of the exponents that control the $(k,\omega)$-plane singular features of the $\sigma =\uparrow,\downarrow$ one-electron spectral functions of the 1D Hubbard model at finite magnetic field are studied. The usual half-filling concepts of one-electron lower Hubbard band and upper Hubbard band are defined for all electronic density and spin density values and the whole finite repulsion range in terms of the rotated electrons associated with the model Bethe-ansatz solution. Such rotated electrons are the link of the non-perturbative relation between the electrons and the pseudofermions. Our results further clarify the microscopic processes through which the pseudofermion dynamical theory accounts for the $\sigma $ one-electron matrix elements between the ground state and excited energy eigenstates.
An estimator for the dynamical temperature in an arbitrary ensemble is derived in the framework of Bayesian statistical mechanics and the maximum entropy principle. We test this estimator numerically by a simulation of the two-dimensional XY-model in the canonical ensemble. As this model is critical in the whole region of temperatures below the Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless critical temperature $T_{BKT}$, we use a generalization of Wolff's uni-cluster algorithm. The numerical results allow us to confirm the robustness of the analytical expression for the microscopic estimator of the temperature. This microscopic estimator has also the advantage that it gives a direct measure of the thermalization process and can be used to compute absolute errors associated to statistical fluctuations. In consequence, this estimator allows for a direct, absolute and astringent test of the ergodicity of the underlying Markov process, which encodes the algorithm used in a numerical simulation.
We consider the classical obstacle problem on bounded, connected Lipschitz domains $D \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. We derive quantitative bounds on the changes to contact sets under general perturbations to both the right hand side and the boundary data for obstacle problems. In particular, we show that the Lebesgue measure of the symmetric difference between two contact sets is linearly comparable to the $L^1$-norm of perturbations in the data.
The new VISual and Infrared Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) has started operations. Over its first five years it will be collecting data for six public surveys, one of these is the near-infrared YJKsVISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC). This survey comprises the LMC, the SMC, the Bridge connecting the two galaxies and two fields in the Stream. This paper provides an overview of the VMC survey strategy and presents first science results. The main goals of the VMC survey are the determination of the spatially resolved SFH and 3D structure of the Magellanic system. Therefore, the VMC survey is designed to reach stars as faint as the oldest main sequence turn-off point and to constrain the mean magnitude of pulsating variable stars such as RR Lyrae stars and Cepheids. This paper focuses on observations of VMC fields in the LMC obtained between November 2009 and March 2010. These observations correspond to a 7% completeness of the LMC fields. The VMC observations consist of multi-epoch measurements organised following a specific structure. The data were reduced using the VISTA Data Flow System pipeline whose source catalogues were produced and made available via the VISTA Science Archive. The analysis of the data shows that the sensitivity in each wave band agrees with expectations. Uncertainties and completeness of the data are also derived. The first science results, aimed at assessing the science quality of the VMC data, include an overview of the distribution of stars in colour-magnitude and colour-colour diagrams, the detection of planetary nebulae and of stellar clusters, and the Ks band light-curve of variable stars. The VMC survey represents a tremendous improvement, in spatial resolution and sensitivity, on previous panoramic observations of the Magellanic system in the near-infrared and complements nicely the deep observations at other wavelengths.

A Carleman estimate and the unique continuation of solutions for an anomalous diffusion equation with fractional time derivative of order $0<\alpha<1$ are given. The estimate is derived via some subelliptic estimate for an operator associated to the anomalous diffusion equation using calculus of pseudo-differential operators.
In this paper we present a novel method for the correction of motion artifacts that are present in fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans of the whole uterus. Contrary to current slice-to-volume registration (SVR) methods, requiring an inflexible anatomical enclosure of a single investigated organ, the proposed patch-to-volume reconstruction (PVR) approach is able to reconstruct a large field of view of non-rigidly deforming structures. It relaxes rigid motion assumptions by introducing a specific amount of redundant information that is exploited with parallelized patch-wise optimization, super-resolution, and automatic outlier rejection. We further describe and provide an efficient parallel implementation of PVR allowing its execution within reasonable time on commercially available graphics processing units (GPU), enabling its use in the clinical practice. We evaluate PVR's computational overhead compared to standard methods and observe improved reconstruction accuracy in presence of affine motion artifacts of approximately 30% compared to conventional SVR in synthetic experiments. Furthermore, we have evaluated our method qualitatively and quantitatively on real fetal MRI data subject to maternal breathing and sudden fetal movements. We evaluate peak-signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index (SSIM), and cross correlation (CC) with respect to the originally acquired data and provide a method for visual inspection of reconstruction uncertainty. With these experiments we demonstrate successful application of PVR motion compensation to the whole uterus, the human fetus, and the human placenta.
We calculate the net baryon rapidity distribution in Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in the framework of the Parton Cascade Model (PCM). Parton rescattering and fragmentation leads to a substantial increase in the net baryon density at mid-rapidity over the density produced by initial primary parton-parton scatterings. The PCM is able to describe the measured net baryon density at RHIC.
Magneto-atmospheres with Alfv\'en speed [a] that increases monotonically with height are often used to model the solar atmosphere, at least out to several solar radii. A common example involves uniform vertical or inclined magnetic field in an isothermal atmosphere, for which the Alfv\'en speed is exponential. We address the issue of internal reflection in such atmospheres, both for time-harmonic and for transient waves. It is found that a mathematical boundary condition may be devised that corresponds to perfect absorption at infinity, and, using this, that many atmospheres where a(x) is analytic and unbounded present no internal reflection of harmonic Alfv\'en waves. However, except for certain special cases, such solutions are accompanied by a wake, which may be thought of as a kind of reflection. For the initial-value problem where a harmonic source is suddenly switched on (and optionally off), there is also an associated transient that normally decays with time as O(t-1) or O(t-1 ln t), depending on the phase of the driver. Unlike the steady-state harmonic solutions, the transient does reflect weakly. Alfv\'en waves in the solar corona driven by a finite-duration train of p-modes are expected to leave such transients.
Out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) have been proposed as a tool to witness quantum information scrambling in many-body system dynamics. These correlators can be understood as averages over nonclassical multi-time quasi-probability distributions (QPDs). These QPDs have more information, and their nonclassical features witness quantum information scrambling in a more nuanced way. However, their high dimensionality and nonclassicality make QPDs challenging to measure experimentally. We focus on the topical case of a many-qubit system and show how to obtain such a QPD in the laboratory using circuits with three and four sequential measurements. Averaging distinct values over the same measured distribution reveals either the OTOC or parameters of its QPD. Stronger measurements minimize experimental resources despite increased dynamical disturbance.
Molecular dynamics study of a thin (one to five layers) lubricant film between two substrates in moving contact are performed using Langevin equations with an external damping coefficient depending on distance and velocity of atoms relative the substrates, motivated by microscopic configurations. They show that the minimal friction coefficient is obtained for the solid-sliding regime. A detailed analysis of the results, the comparison with other microscopic modeling approaches of friction, and the evaluation of quantities that can be compared to experiments, such as the velocity of the transition from stick-slip to smooth sliding, are used to discuss the relevance of the microscopic simulations of friction.
Giant photovoltaic effect due to bulk photovoltaic effect observed in multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films has triggered a renewed interest on photoferroelectric materials for photovoltaic applications. Tremendous advance has been done to improve power conversion efficiency (up to up to 8.1%) in photoferroelectrics via absorption increase using narrow bandgap ferroelectrics. Other strategies, as it is the more efficient use of ferroelectric internal electric field, are ongoing. Moreover, as a by-product, several progress have been also achieved on photostriction that is the photo-induced deformation phenomenon. Here, we review ongoing and promising routes to improve ferroelectrics photoresponse.
We present a new algorithm for solving ideal relativistic hydrodynamics based on Godunov method with an exact solution of Riemann problem for an arbitrary equation of state. Standard numerical tests are executed, such as the sound wave propagation and the shock tube problem. Low numerical viscosity and high precision are attained with proper discretization.
Using full general relativistic calculations, we investigate the possibility of generation of mass outflow from spherical accretion onto non-rotating black holes. Introducing a relativistic hadronic-pressure-supported steady, standing, spherically-symmetric shock surface around a Schwarzschild black hole as the effective physical barrier that may be responsible for the generation of spherical wind, we calculate the mass outflow rate $R_{\dot m}$ in terms of three accretion parameters and one outflow parameter by simultaneously solving the set of general relativistic hydrodynamic equations describing spherically symmetric, transonic, polytropic accretion and wind around a Schwarzschild black hole. Not only do we provide a sufficiently plausible estimation of $R_{\dot m}$, we also successfully study the dependence and variation of this rate on various physical parameters governing the flow. Our calculation indicates that independent of initial boundary conditions, the baryonic matter content of this shock-generated wind always correlates with post-shock flow temperature.
this paper is devoted to the study of curves of genus 3 with group of automorphisms the symmetric group S3, principally over finite fields, in view to obtain optimal curves. For instance, we prove that, over the finite fields of char. 3, for any elliptic curve E with j-invariant not in F_3, there exists a curve of genus 3 whose jacobian is isogeneous to E^3; we have also results in char. 7, and these curves provide many examples of optimal curves in any char. Nous etudions les courbes de genre 3 dont le groupe d'automorphismes est S3, en vue d'obtenir des courbes optimales sur les corps finis. En particulier, en car. 3, si E est unecourbe elliptique dont l'invariant n'est pas dans F_3, il existe une telle courbe de genre 3 dont la jacobienne est isogene a E^3; dans le cas de la caracteristique 7, des resultats plus partiels sont obtenus. Par ailleurs, ces courbes semblent donner experimentalement de nombreux cas de courbes optimales.
We prove that, for fixed tame level (N,p) = 1, there are only finitely many Hecke eigenforms f of level Gamma_1(N) and even weight with a_p(f) = 0 which are not CM.
Polynomial invariants for robot manipulators and their joints arise from the adjoint action of the Euclidean group on its Lie algebra, the space of infinitesimal twists or screws. The aim of this paper is to determine basic sets of generating polynomials for multiple screws. Techniques from the theory of SAGBI bases are introduced. As a result, a complete description is provided of the polynomial invariants for screw pairs and some results for screw triples are obtained. The invariants are shown to be related to Denavit-Hartenberg parameters.
Single crystals of LiCaAlF6 undoped and Eu, Na co-doped were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance, radioluminescence and thermally stimulated luminescence techniques applied in a correlated manner. The undoped samples exposed to X-ray irradiation exhibited two hole-like charge trapping centers creation, the molecular ions of the form: ClF- and F2^- - F2^- dimer. Their trap depths and frequency factors were determined as follows: Et1=1.7 eV and Et2=1.1. eV for trap depths and f ~ 10^13 s-1 for frequency factor, respectively. It was found that the europium preferable charge state is 2+ in the LiCaAlF6:Eu,Na samples, however, some amount of the Eu3+ is also present. Moreover, there were two Eu2+ centers: the dominating Eu2+(Ca) and the low-content Eu2+(Li). The amount of the latter is easily governed by the sodium admixture while the former is insensitive to the Na co-doping. Eu and Na co-doping affected the defects distribution and incorporation in the LiCaAlF6 host.
Statistics of the single-particle levels in a deformed Woods-Saxon potential is analyzed in terms of the Poisson and Wigner nearest-neighbor distributions for several deformations and multipolarities of its surface distortions. We found the significant differences of all the distributions with a fixed value of the angular momentum projection of the particle, more closely to the Wigner distribution, in contrast to the full spectra with Poisson-like behavior. Important shell effects are observed in the nearest neighbor spacing distributions, the larger the smaller deformations of the surface multipolarities.
We present preliminary results on the properties of relativistically broadened Fe K-alpha lines in a collection of more then 100 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) observed by the XMM-Newton EPIC-pn camera. Our main conclusions can be summarized as follows: a) we detect broad lines in about 25% of the sample objects. This fraction increases to 42+/-13% if we consider only objects with more than 10000 counts in the hard (2-10 keV) band, and to 50+/-32% for the small sub-sample (6 objects) of type~1 Piccinotti AGN with optimal XMM-Newton exposure (at least 200000 counts in the hard band); b) we find no significant difference in the detection rate of broad lines between obscured and unobscured AGN; c) the strongest relativistic profiles are measured in low-luminosity (< 10^43 erg/s) AGN; d) Equivalent Widths (EWs) associated with relativistic profiles in stacked spectra are ~150 eV for all luminosity classes; e) models of relativistically broadened iron line profiles ("kyrline", Dovciak et al. 2005), which include full relativistic treatment of the accretion disk emission around a Kerr black hole in the strong gravity regime, yield an average disk inclination angle ~30 degrees, and a radial dependence of the disk emissivity profile ~-3. The distribution of EW is very broad, with <log (EW)>=2.4. We estimate that an investment of about 1 Ms of XMM-Newton time would be required to put these results on a sound statistical basis.
We prove that the moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involutions are unirational. As a by-product we describe configuration spaces of 4<d<9 points in the projective plane as arithmetic quotients of type IV.
The dynamical spin susceptibility is studied in the magnetically-disordered phase of heavy-Fermion systems near the antiferromagnetic quantum phase transition. In the framework of the $S=1/2$ Kondo lattice model, we introduce a perturbative expansion treating the spin and Kondo-like degrees of freedom on an equal footing. The general expression of the dynamical spin susceptibility that we derive presents a two-component behaviour: a quasielastic peak as in a Fermi liquid theory, and a strongly q-dependent inelastic peak typical of a non-Fermi liquid behaviour. Very strikingly, the position of the inelastic peak is found to be pushed to zero at the antiferromagnetic transition with a vanishing relaxation rate. The comparison has been quantitatively made with Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) experiments performed in $CeCu_{6}$ and $Ce_{1-x}La_{x}Ru_{2}Si_{2}$. The excellent agreement that we have found gives strong support to a two-band model with new prospects for the study of the quantum critical phenomena in the vicinity of the magnetic phase transition.
The phase diagram of the classical anisotropic (XXZ) Heisenberg model on the 2-dimensional triangular lattice is investigated using Monte Carlo methods. In the easy-axis limit, two finite temperature vortex unbinding transitions have been observed. In the easy-plane limit, there also appear to be two distinct finite temperature phase transitions. The upper transition corresponds to an Ising-like chirality ordering and the lower temperature transition corresponds to a Kosterlitz-Thouless vortex unbinding transition. These phase transition lines all meet at the Heisenberg point and provide strong evidence that the isotropic model undergoes a novel finite temperature phase transition.
Cross-correlations between the lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and other tracers of large-scale structure provide a unique way to reconstruct the growth of dark matter, break degeneracies between cosmology and galaxy physics, and test theories of modified gravity. We detect a cross-correlation between DESI-like luminous red galaxies (LRGs) selected from DECaLS imaging and CMB lensing maps reconstructed with the Planck satellite at a significance of $S/N = 27.2$ over scales $\ell_{\rm min} = 30$, $\ell_{\rm max} = 1000$. To correct for magnification bias, we determine the slope of the LRG cumulative magnitude function at the faint limit as $s = 0.999 \pm 0.015$, and find corresponding corrections on the order of a few percent for $C^{\kappa g}_{\ell}, C^{gg}_{\ell}$ across the scales of interest. We fit the large-scale galaxy bias at the effective redshift of the cross-correlation $z_{\rm eff} \approx 0.68$ using two different bias evolution agnostic models: a HaloFit times linear bias model where the bias evolution is folded into the clustering-based estimation of the redshift kernel, and a Lagrangian perturbation theory model of the clustering evaluated at $z_{\rm eff}$. We also determine the error on the bias from uncertainty in the redshift distribution; within this error, the two methods show excellent agreement with each other and with DESI survey expectations.
We consider Brownian motion under resetting in higher dimensions for the case when the return of the particle to the origin occurs at a constant speed. We investigate the behavior of the probability density function (PDF) and of the mean-squared displacement (MSD) in this process. We study two different resetting protocols: exponentially distributed time intervals between the resetting events (Poissonian resetting) and resetting at fixed time intervals (deterministic resetting). We moreover discuss a general problem of the invariance of the PDF with respect to the return speed, as observed in the one-dimensional system for Poissonian resetting, and show, that this one dimensional situation is the only one in which such an invariance can be found. However, the invariance of the MSD can still be observed in higher dimensions.
We model neutrino emission from a newly born neutron star subsequent to a supernova explosion to study its sensitivity to the equation of state, neutrino opacities, and convective instabilities at high baryon density. We find the time period and spatial extent over which convection operates is sensitive to the behavior of the nuclear symmetry energy at and above nuclear density. When convection ends within the proto-neutron star, there is a break in the predicted neutrino emission that may be clearly observable.
We study the splitting probabilities for a one-dimensional Brownian motion in a cage whose two boundaries move at constant speeds $c_1$ and $c_2$. This configuration corresponds to the capture of a diffusing, but skittish lamb, with an approaching shepherd on the left and a precipice on the right. We derive compact expressions for these splitting probabilities when the cage is expanding. We also obtain the time-dependent first-passage probability to the left boundary, as well as the splitting probability to this boundary, when the cage is either expanding or contracting. The boundary motions have a non-trivial impact on the splitting probabilities, leading to multiple regimes of behavior that depend on the expansion or contraction speed of the cage. In particular, the probability to capture the lamb is maximized when the shepherd moves at a non-zero optimal speed if the initial lamb position and the ratio between the two boundary speeds satisfy certain conditions.
The fluctuation in electric current in nonequilibrium steady states is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation of macroscopically uniform conductors. At low frequencies, appropriate decomposition of the spectral intensity of current into thermal and excess fluctuations provides a simple picture of excess fluctuations behaving as shot noise. This indicates that the fluctuation-dissipation relation may be violated in a universal manner by the appearance of shot noise for a wide range of systems with particle or momentum transport.
