We construct a sigma model in two dimensions with Galilean symmetry in flat target space similar to the sigma model of the critical string theory with Lorentz symmetry in 10 flat spacetime dimensions. This is motivated by the works of Gomis and Ooguri\cite{Gomis:2000bd} and Danielsson et. al. \cite{Danielsson:2000gi, Danielsson:2000mu}. Our theory is much simpler than their theory and does not assume a compact coordinate. This non-relativistic string theory has a bosonic matter $\beta\gamma$ CFT with the conformal weight of $\beta$ as 1. It is natural to identify time as a linear combination of $\gamma$ and $\bar{\gamma}$ through an explicit realization of the Galilean boost symmetry. The angle between $\gamma$ and $\bar{\gamma}$ parametrizes one parameter family of selection sectors. These selection sectors are responsible for having a non-relativistic dispersion relation without a nontrivial topology in the non-relativistic setup, which is one of the major differences from the previous works\cite{Gomis:2000bd, Danielsson:2000gi, Danielsson:2000mu}. This simple theory is the non-relativistic analogue of the critical string theory, and there are many different avenues ahead to be investigated. We mention a possible consistent generalization of this theory with different conformal weights for the $\beta\gamma$ CFT. We also mention supersymmetric generalizations of these theories.
Based on an analytic solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the large-condensate (Thomas-Fermi) limit we determine the structure of a stationary vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate in a nonaxisymmetric rotating trap. The condensate velocity field has cylindrical symmetry only near the vortex core and becomes intrinsically anisotropic near the condensate boundaries. Rotating the anisotropic trap induces an additional irrotational velocity field even for a vortex-free condensate.
Many real-world networks exhibit scale-free feature, have a small diameter and a high clustering tendency. We have studied the properties of a growing network, which has all these features, in which an incoming node is connected to its $i$th predecessor of degree $k_i$ with a link of length $\ell$ using a probability proportional to $k^\beta_i \ell^{\alpha}$. For $\alpha > -0.5$, the network is scale free at $\beta = 1$ with the degree distribution $P(k) \propto k^{-\gamma}$ and $\gamma = 3.0$ as in the Barab\'asi-Albert model ($\alpha =0, \beta =1$). We find a phase boundary in the $\alpha-\beta$ plane along which the network is scale-free. Interestingly, we find scale-free behaviour even for $\beta > 1$ for $\alpha < -0.5$ where the existence of a new universality class is indicated from the behaviour of the degree distribution and the clustering coefficients. The network has a small diameter in the entire scale-free region. The clustering coefficients emulate the behaviour of most real networks for increasing negative values of $\alpha$ on the phase boundary.
A definition of entanglement in terms of local measurements is discussed. Viz, the maximum entanglement corresponds to the states that cause the highest level of quantum fluctuations in all local measurements determined by the dynamic symmetry group of the system. A number of examples illustrating this definition is considered.
We discuss the three-body decay mechanisms of many-body resonances. R-matrix sequential description is compared with full Faddeev computation. The role of the angular momentum and boson symmetries is also studied. As an illustration we show the computed $\alpha$-particle energy distribution after the decay of 12C(1^+) resonance at 12.7 MeV.
I will survey some results in the theory of modular representations of a reductive $p$-adic group, in positive characteristic $\ell \neq p$ and $\ell=p$.
We present a formulation of the coupling of vector multiplets to N=2 supergravity which is symplectic covariant (and thus is not based on a prepotential) and uses superconformal tensor calculus. We do not start from an action, but from the combination of the generalised Bianchi identities of the vector multiplets in superspace, a symplectic definition of special Kahler geometry, and the supersymmetric partners of the corresponding constraints. These involve the breaking to super-Poincare symmetry, and lead to on-shell vector multiplets. This symplectic approach gives the framework to formulate vector multiplet couplings using a weaker defining constraint for special Kahler geometry, which is an extension of older definitions of special Kahler manifolds for some cases with only one vector multiplet.
Upcoming millimeter experiments that probe the cosmic microwave background (CMB) will observe tens of thousands of galaxy clusters through the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect. tSZ selected clusters are powerful probes of cosmological models, as they trace the late-time growth of structure. Late-time structure growth is highly sensitive to extensions to the standard cosmological model ($\Lambda$CDM), such as the sum of the neutrino masses, the dark energy equation of state, and modifications to general relativity. The nominal statistic used for cluster observations is their abundances as a function of redshift. We investigate what additional cosmological information is gained after including the clustering signal of clusters, the cluster power spectrum. We forecast the cluster power spectra for the upcoming Simons Observatory and a CMB Stage-4-like experiment and find that the cluster power spectrum reduces marginalized constraints on the dark energy equation of state by $3$--$12\%$ and the growth index by $5$--$8\%$, for example. We present the constraints using a generalized figure of merit and find improvements ranging from $12$--$18\%$ for extensions, $12$--$19\%$ for the astrophysical nuisance parameters, and $14$--$25\%$ for $\Lambda$CDM parameters. We also find that if the bias of clusters as a tracer of the matter density can be measured to within $3\%$ or better, these improvements can be increased by up to a factor of $6$. We discuss the possibility of utilizing the clustering signal to address specific systematic uncertainties present in cluster abundance measurements.
The phase diagram of correlated, disordered electron systems is calculated within dynamical mean-field theory for the Anderson-Falicov-Kimball model with nearest-neighbors and next-nearest-neighbors hopping. The half-filled band is analyzed in terms of the chemical potential of the system using the geometric and arithmetic averages. We also introduce the on-site energies exhibiting a long-range correlated disorder, which generates a system with similar characteristics as the one created by a random independent variable distribution. A decrease in the correlated disorder reduces the extended phase.
Let $S(\sigma,t)=\frac{1}{\pi}\arg\zeta(\sigma+it)$ be the argument of the Riemann zeta function at the point $\sigma+it$ of the critical strip. For $n\geq 1$ and $t>0$ we define $$ S_{n}(\sigma,t) = \int_0^t S_{n-1}(\sigma,\tau)\,d\tau\, + \delta_{n,\sigma\,}, $$ where $\delta_{n,\sigma}$ is a specific constant depending on $\sigma$ and $n$. Let $0\leq \beta<1$ be a fixed real number. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we show lower bounds for the maximum of the function $S_n(\sigma,t)$ on the interval $T^\beta\leq t \leq T$ and near to the critical line, when $n\equiv 1\mod 4$. Similar estimates are obtained for $|S_n(\sigma,t)|$ when $n\not\equiv 1\mod 4$. This extends a recently results of Bondarenko and Seip for a region near the critical line. In particular we obtain some omega results for these functions on the critical line.
We first observe that the (co)domains of the q-deformed functions are some subsets of the (co)domains of their ordinary counterparts, thereby deeming the deformed functions to be incomplete. In order to obtain a complete definition of $q$-generalized functions, we calculate the dual mapping function, which is found equal to the otherwise \textit{ad hoc} duality relation between the ordinary and escort stationary distributions. Motivated by this fact, we show that the maximization of the Tsallis entropy with the complete $q$-logarithm and $q$-exponential implies the use of the ordinary probability distributions instead of escort distributions. Moreover, we demonstrate that even the escort stationary distributions can be obtained through the use of the ordinary averaging procedure if the argument of the $q$-exponential lies in (-$\infty$, 0].
Let $q$ be a positive integer, $\chi$ a nontrivial character mod $q$, $\mathcal{I}$ an interval of length not exceeding $q.$ In this paper we shall study the character sum analogue of the well-known Kloosterman sum,\[\sum_{\substack{a\in\mathcal{I}   \gcd(a,q)=1}}\chi(ma+n\overline{a}),\] where $\overline{a}$ is the multiplicative inverse of $a\bmod q$. The mean square values and bilinear forms for such sums are proved.
We present analytic monopole and dyon solutions whose energy is fixed by the electroweak scale. Our result shows that genuine electroweak monopole and dyon could exist whose mass scale is much smaller than the grand unification scale.
Despite the increasing prevalence of deep neural networks, their applicability in resource-constrained devices is limited due to their computational load. While modern devices exhibit a high level of parallelism, real-time latency is still highly dependent on networks' depth. Although recent works show that below a certain depth, the width of shallower networks must grow exponentially, we presume that neural networks typically exceed this minimal depth to accelerate convergence and incrementally increase accuracy. This motivates us to transform pre-trained deep networks that already exploit such advantages into shallower forms. We propose a method that learns whether non-linear activations can be removed, allowing to fold consecutive linear layers into one. We apply our method to networks pre-trained on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 and find that they can all be transformed into shallower forms that share a similar depth. Finally, we use our method to provide more efficient alternatives to MobileNetV2 and EfficientNet-Lite architectures on the ImageNet classification task.
We give a construction of a new $p$-adic Maass-Shimura operator defined on an affinoid subdomain of the preperfectoid $p$-adic universal cover $\mathcal{Y}$ of a modular curve $Y$. We define a new notion of $p$-adic modular forms as sections of a certain sheaf $\mathcal{O}_{\Delta}$ of "nearly rigid functions" which transform under the action of subgroups of the Galois group $\mathrm{Gal}(\mathcal{Y}/Y)$ by $\mathcal{O}_{\Delta}^{\times}$-valued weight characters. This extends Katz's notion of $p$-adic modular forms as functions on the Igusa tower $Y^{\mathrm{Ig}}$; indeed we may recover Katz's theory by restricting to a natural $\mathbb{Z}_p^{\times}$-covering $\mathcal{Y}^{\mathrm{Ig}}$ of $Y^{\mathrm{Ig}}$, viewing $\mathcal{Y}^{\mathrm{Ig}} \subset \mathcal{Y}$ as a sublocus. Our $p$-adic Maass-Shimura operator sends $p$-adic modular forms of weight $k$ to forms of weight $k + 2$. Its construction comes from a relative Hodge decomposition with coefficients in $\mathcal{O}_{\Delta}$ defined using Hodge-Tate and Hodge-de Rham periods arising from Scholze's Hodge-Tate period map and the relative $p$-adic de Rham comparison theorem. By studying the effect of powers of the $p$-adic Maass-Shimura operator on modular forms, we construct a $p$-adic continuous function which satisfies an "approximate" interpolation property with respect to the the algebraic parts of central critical $L$-values of anticyclotomic Rankin-Selberg families on $GL_2 \times GL_1$ over imaginary quadratic fields $K/\mathbb{Q}$, including the "supersingular" case where $p$ is not split in $K$. Finally we establish a new $p$-adic Waldspurger formula which, in the case of a newform, relates the formal logarithm of a Heegner point to a special value of the $p$-adic $L$-function.
We study uniaxial energy-minimizers within the Landau-de Gennes theory for nematic liquid crystals on a three-dimensional spherical droplet subject to homeotropic boundary conditions. We work in the low-temperature regime and show that uniaxial energy-minimizers necessarily have the structure of the well-studied radial-hedgehog solution in the low-temperature limit. An immediate consequence of this result is that Landau-de Gennes energy minimizers cannot be purely uniaxial for sufficiently low temperatures.
The polynomial $X^{3}-X-1$ has a unique positive root known as plastic number, which is denoted by $\rho$ and is approximately equal to $1.32471795$. In this note we study the zeroes of the generalized polynomial $X^{k}-\sum_{j=0}^{k-2}X^{j}$ for $k\geq 3$ and prove that its unique positive root $\lambda_{k}$ tends to the golden ratio $\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ as $k \to \infty$. We also derive bounds on $\lambda_{k}$ in terms of Fibonacci numbers.
In this paper we set out to measure time dilation in quasar light curves. In order to detect the effects of time dilation, sets of light curves from two monitoring programmes are used to construct Fourier power spectra covering timescales from 50 days to 28 years. Data from high and low redshift samples are compared to look for the changes expected from time dilation. The main result of the paper is that quasar light curves do not show the effects of time dilation. Several explanations are discussed, including the possibility that time dilation effects are exactly offset by an increase in timescale of variation associated with black hole growth, or that the variations are caused by microlensing in which case time dilation would not be expected.
We consider Akatsuka's zeta Mahler measure as a generating function of higher Mahler measure $m_k(P)$ of a polynomial $P,$ where $m_k(P)$ is the integral of $\log^{k}\left| P \right|$ over the complex unit circle. Restricting ourselves to $\displaystyle P(x)=x+r$ with $|r|=1$ we show some new asymptotic results regarding $m_k(P)$, especially $\left| m_k(P) \right|/k! \to 1/\pi$ as $k \to \infty.$
Analogue black holes in non-Riemannian effective spacetime of moving vortical plasmas described by moving magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. This example is an extension of acoustic torsion recently introduced in the literature (Garcia de Andrade,PRD(2004),7,64004), where now the presence of artificial black holes in moving plasmas is obtained by the presence of an horizon in the non-Riemannian spacetime. Hawking radiation is computed in terms of the background magnetic field and the magnetic permeability. The metric is singular although Cartan analogue torsion is not necessarily singular. The effective Lorentz invariance is shown to be broken due to the presence of effective torsion in strong analogy with the Riemann-Cartan gravitational case presented recently by Kostelecky (PRD 69,2004,105009).
Let $G$ be a semisimple complex Lie group with a Borel subgroup $B$. Let $X=G/B$ be the flag manifold of $G$. Let $C=P^1\ni\infty$ be the projective line. Let $\alpha\in H_2(X,{\Bbb Z})$. The moduli space of $G$-monopoles of topological charge $\alpha$ (see e.g. [Jarvis]) is naturally identified with the space $M_b(X,\alpha)$ of based maps from $(C,\infty)$ to $(X,B)$ of degree $\alpha$. The moduli space of $G$-monopoles carries a natural hyperk\"ahler structure, and hence a holomorphic symplectic structure. We propose a simple explicit formula for the symplectic structure on $M_b(X,\alpha)$. It generalizes the well known formula for $G=SL_2$ (see e.g. [Atiyah-Hitchin]). Let $P\supset B$ be a parabolic subgroup. The construction of the Poisson structure on $M_b(X,\alpha)$ generalizes verbatim to the space of based maps $M=M_b(G/P,\beta)$. In most cases the corresponding map $T^*M\to TM$ is not an isomorphism, i.e. $M$ splits into nontrivial symplectic leaves. These leaves are explicilty described.
Recently, there has been a surge of diverse methods for performing image editing by employing pre-trained unconditional generators. Applying these methods on real images, however, remains a challenge, as it necessarily requires the inversion of the images into their latent space. To successfully invert a real image, one needs to find a latent code that reconstructs the input image accurately, and more importantly, allows for its meaningful manipulation. In this paper, we carefully study the latent space of StyleGAN, the state-of-the-art unconditional generator. We identify and analyze the existence of a distortion-editability tradeoff and a distortion-perception tradeoff within the StyleGAN latent space. We then suggest two principles for designing encoders in a manner that allows one to control the proximity of the inversions to regions that StyleGAN was originally trained on. We present an encoder based on our two principles that is specifically designed for facilitating editing on real images by balancing these tradeoffs. By evaluating its performance qualitatively and quantitatively on numerous challenging domains, including cars and horses, we show that our inversion method, followed by common editing techniques, achieves superior real-image editing quality, with only a small reconstruction accuracy drop.
Let $G$ be an affine group scheme over a noetherian commutative ring $R$. We show that every $G$-equivariant vector bundle on an affine toric scheme over $R$ with $G$-action is extended from $\Spec(R)$ for several cases of $R$ and $G$.   We show that given two affine schemes with group scheme actions, an equivalence of the equivariant derived categories implies isomorphism of the equivariant $K$-theories as well as equivariant $K'$-theories.
We improved the approximation of the model of the wormhole generated physical universe constructed by Choudhury and Pendharkar. We show here that the negative pressure of the unphysical wormhole can generate the right physical condition to explain the correct sign of the deacceleration parameter $q_0$. The negative sign ofsign of $q_0$ implies an accelerating universe.
We study local regularity properties of local minimizer of scalar integral functionals of the form $$\mathcal F[u]:=\int_\Omega F(\nabla u)-f u\,dx$$ where the convex integrand $F$ satisfies controlled $(p,q)$-growth conditions. We establish Lipschitz continuity under sharp assumptions on the forcing term $f$ and improved assumptions on the growth conditions on $F$ with respect to the existing literature. Along the way, we establish an $L^\infty$-$L^2$-estimate for solutions of linear uniformly elliptic equations in divergence form which is optimal with respect to the ellipticity contrast of the coefficients.
How to obtain the desirable representation of a 3D shape, which is discriminative across categories and polymerized within classes, is a significant challenge in 3D shape retrieval. Most existing 3D shape retrieval methods focus on capturing strong discriminative shape representation with softmax loss for the classification task, while the shape feature learning with metric loss is neglected for 3D shape retrieval. In this paper, we address this problem based on the intuition that the cosine distance of shape embeddings should be close enough within the same class and far away across categories. Since most of 3D shape retrieval tasks use cosine distance of shape features for measuring shape similarity, we propose a novel metric loss named angular triplet-center loss, which directly optimizes the cosine distances between the features. It inherits the triplet-center loss property to achieve larger inter-class distance and smaller intra-class distance simultaneously. Unlike previous metric loss utilized in 3D shape retrieval methods, where Euclidean distance is adopted and the margin design is difficult, the proposed method is more convenient to train feature embeddings and more suitable for 3D shape retrieval. Moreover, the angle margin is adopted to replace the cosine margin in order to provide more explicit discriminative constraints on an embedding space. Extensive experimental results on two popular 3D object retrieval benchmarks, ModelNet40 and ShapeNetCore 55, demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed loss, and our method has achieved state-of-the-art results on various 3D shape datasets.
The two-body break up of the deuteron is studied at high $Q^2$ kinematics, with main motivation to probe the deuteron at small internucleon distances. Such studies are associated with the probing of high momentum component of the deuteron wave function. For this, two main theoretical issues have been addressed such as electromagnetic interaction of the virtual photon with the bound nucleon and the strong interaction of produced baryons in the final state of the break-up reaction. Within virtual nucleon approximation we developed a new prescription to account for the bound nucleon effects in electromagnetic interaction. The final state interaction at high $Q^2$ kinematics is calculated within generalized eikonal approximation (GEA). We studied the uncertainties involved in the calculation and performed comparisons with the first experimental data on deuteron electrodisintegration at large $Q^2$. We demonstrate that the experimental data confirm GEA's early prediction that the rescattering is maximal at $\sim 70^0$ of recoil nucleon production relative to the momentum of the virtual photon. Comparisons also show that the forward recoil nucleon angles are best suited for studies of the electromagnetic interaction of bound nucleons and the high momentum structure of the deuteron. Backward recoil angle kinematics show sizable effects due to the $\Delta$-isobar contribution. The latter indicates the importance of further development of GEA to account for the inelastic transitions in the intermediate state of the electrodisintegration reactions.
The coherent transport properties of armchair graphene nanoconstrictions(GNC) are studied using tight-binding approach and Green's function method. We find a non-bonding state at zero Fermi energy which results in a zero conductance valley, when a single vacancy locates at $y=3n\pm 1$ of a perfect metallic armchair graphene nanoribbon(aGNR). However, the non-bonding state doesn't exist when a vacancy locates at y=3n, and the conductance behavior of lowest conducting channel will not be affected by the vacancy. For the square-shaped armchair GNC consisting of three metallic aGNR segments, resonant tunneling behavior is observed in the single channel energy region. We find that the presence of localized edge state locating at the zigzag boundary can affect the resonant tunneling severely. A simplified one dimensional model is put forward at last, which explains the resonant tunneling behavior of armchair GNC very well.
