description: Using the continuum model, we investigate theoretically contribution of the low-energy electronic excitations to the Raman spectrum of superconducting monolayer graphene. We consider superconducting phases characterised by an isotropic order parameter in a single valley and find a Raman peak at a shift set by the size of the superconducting gap. The height of this peak is proportional to the square root of the gap and the third power of the Fermi level, and we estimate its quantum efficiency as $I\sim10^{-14}$.

description: Existing robot guides offer a tour of a building, such as a museum or science centre, to one or more visitors. Usually the tours are predefined and lack support for dynamic interactions between the different robots. This paper focuses on the distributed collaboration of multiple heterogeneous robots (receptionist, companion) guiding visitors through a building. Semantic techniques support the formal definition of tour topics, the available content on a specific topic, and the robot and person profiles including interests and acquired knowledge. The robot guides select topics depending on their participants’ interests and prior knowledge. Whenever one guide moves into the proximity of another, the guides automatically exchange participants, optimizing the amount of interesting topics. Robot collaboration is realized through the development of a software module that allows a robot to transparently include behaviours performed by other robots into its own set of behaviours. The multi‐robot visitor guide application is integrated into an extended distributed heterogeneous robot team, using a receptionist robot that was not originally designed to cooperate with the guides. Evaluation of the implemented algorithms presents a 90% content coverage of relevant topics for the participants.

description: We present a quantum secure direct communication(QSDC) scheme as an extension for a proposed supervised secure entanglement sharing protocol. Starting with a quick review on the supervised entanglement sharing protocol -- the "Wuhan" protocol [Y. Li and Y. Liu, arXiv:0709.1449v2], we primarily focus on its further extend using for a QSDC task, in which the communication attendant Alice encodes the secret message directly onto a sequence of 2-level particles which then can be faithfully teleported to Bob using the shared maximal entanglement states obtained by the previous "Wuhan" protocol. We also evaluate the security of the QSDC scheme, where an individual self-attack performed by Alice and Bob -- the out of control attack(OCA) is introduced and the robustness of our scheme on the OCA is documented.

description: In this paper, we construct the $m$-photon-added and $m$-photon-subtracted coherent states on a sphere. These states are shown to satisfy the usual conditions of continuity in the label, normalizability and the resolution of identity. The preparation of the constructed states, as the states of radiation field is considered. We examine and analyze the nonclassical properties of these states, including the photon mean number, Mandel parameter and quadrature squeezing. We find that these states are sub-Poissonian in nature, whereas the degree of squeezing is reduced (enhanced) by increasing $m$ for the photon-added (photon-subtracted) coherent states on a sphere.

A Framework for Elastic Adaptation of User Multiple Intents in Sequential Recommendation
Creators: name: Wang, Zhikai
name: Shen, Yanyan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Information Retrieval (cs.IR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Recently, substantial research has been conducted on sequential recommendation, with the objective of forecasting the subsequent item by leveraging a user's historical sequence of interacted items. Prior studies employ both capsule networks and self-attention techniques to effectively capture diverse underlying intents within a user's interaction sequence, thereby achieving the most advanced performance in sequential recommendation. However, users could potentially form novel intents from fresh interactions as the lengths of user interaction sequences grow. Consequently, models need to be continually updated or even extended to adeptly encompass these emerging user intents, referred as incremental multi-intent sequential recommendation. % We refer to this problem as incremental multi-intent sequential recommendation, which has not yet been well investigated in the existing literature. In this paper, we propose an effective Incremental learning framework for user Multi-intent Adaptation in sequential recommendation called IMA, which augments the traditional fine-tuning strategy with the existing-intents retainer, new-intents detector, and projection-based intents trimmer to adaptively expand the model to accommodate user's new intents and prevent it from forgetting user's existing intents. Furthermore, we upgrade the IMA into an Elastic Multi-intent Adaptation (EMA) framework which can elastically remove inactive intents and compress user intent vectors under memory space limit. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets verify the effectiveness of the proposed IMA and EMA on incremental multi-intent sequential recommendation, compared with various baselines.
Serial-parallel conversion for single photons with heralding signals

description: We present serial-parallel conversion for a heralded single photon source (heralded SPS). We theoretically show that with the heralding signal, the serial-parallel converter can route a stream of n photons to n different spatial modes more efficiently than is the case without using a heralding signal. We also experimentally demonstrate serial-parallel conversion for two photons generated from a heralded SPS. We achieve a conversion efficiency of 0.533 \pm 0.003, which exceeds the maximum achievable efficiency of 0.5 for serial-parallel conversion using unheralded photons, and is double the efficiency (0.25) for that using beamsplitters. When the losses in the optical converter are corrected for, the efficiency of the current setup can be increased up to 0.996 \pm 0.006.

description: Stochastic Variational Method (SVM) is the generalization of the variation method to the case with stochastic variables. In the series of papers, we investigate the applicability of SVM as an alternative field quantization scheme. Here, we discuss the complex Klein-Gordon equation. In this scheme, the Euler-Lagrangian equation for the stochastic fields leads to the functional Schroedinger equation, which in turn can be interpreted as the ideal fluid equation in the functional space. We show that the Fock state vector is given by the stationary solution of these differential equations and various results in the usual canonical quantization can be reproduced, including the effect of anti-particles. The present formulation is a quantization scheme based on commutable variables, so that there appears no ambiguity associated with the ordering of operators, for example, in the definition of Noether charges.

description: Recently, a newly designed type of energy-input extraction column, agitated-pulsed column (APC), has been achieved high mass-transfer efficiency due to the small-size droplets and high dispersed-phase holdup. In view of the lack of feasible population-balance-model (PBM) kernel functions in APC, parameter optimization is conducted by a simplified PBM method. Then the optimized PBM kernel functions are implemented in the computational fluid-dynamics (CFD) code to investigate local two-phase flow behaviors in a 25 mm APC. The results show that the CFD-PBM successfully predicts the drop-size distribution measured in the experiments. CFD-PBM also gives good prediction of Sauter mean diameter and dispersed-phase holdup. The local flow behaviors are illustrated to understand the effects of operating conditions on the hydrodynamic performance. This work demonstrates a possibility for prediction of drop-size distribution by the combination of simplified PBM and CFD simulation.

description: Following the recent proposal of Alday and Maldacena to obtain the strong coupling scattering amplitude in N=4 SYM via AdS/CFT, we point out that a unique solution can be obtained by imposing all the Virasoro constraints. In the case of four-gluon scattering, this solution is identical to the Alday-Maldacena solution, which is in accordance with the ansatz of Bern, Dixon and Smirnov. This also solves the moduli space problem of the four-point solution in a recent paper of Mironov, Morozov and Tomaras.

description: High-order above-threshold ionization (HATI) spectrum in IR+XUV two-color laser fields has been investigated. We found that the quantum features corresponding to the absorption of the XUV photon is well illustrated by a peculiar dip structure in the second plateau of the HATI spectrum. By the channel analysis, we show that the angular distribution of the spectrum is attributed to the coherent summation over contributions of different channels, and the dip structure in the spectrum is directly related to the absorption of one XUV photon of the ionized electron during the laser-assisted collision (LAC) with its parent ion in the two-color laser fields. Moreover, by employing the saddle-point approximation, we obtain the classical energy orbit equation, and find that the dip structure comes from the fact that the LAC is limited at a certain direction by the momentum conservation law as the electron absorbs one XUV photon during the collision, where the probability of the HATI gets its minimum value. Finally, we find that the interference pattern in the whole spectrum is attributed to the interference of different orbits at collision moments $t_0$ and $2π/ω_1-t_0$ in the LAC process.

description: The growth mechanisms of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau are debated between models of Oligocene shortening and lateral extrusion of coherent crustal blocks versus Late Miocene flow of low-viscosity lower crust. To test these models, we examine brittle deformation of the north-striking Anninghe fault, which has been acting as a left-lateral strike-slip fault since Late Miocene time, using structural and bedrock low-temperature thermochronologic methods. Different from previous interpretations of Late Miocene strike-slip motion, our structural observations indicate westward contractional dip-slip along the southern segment of the fault. New zircon and apatite (U-Th)/He thermochronologic data along a vertical profile of Precambrian volcanoclastic cover both sides of the Anninghe fault. The age-elevation relationships and inverse thermal modelling suggest a phase of Oligocene-Early Miocene (~24-18 Ma) differential rock exhumation and cooling across the fault, with a mean erosion rate of ~0.30 ± 0.12 km/m.y. and ~0.007 ± 0.007 km/m.y. in the hanging wall and footwall, respectively. Consistent with the structural observations, the higher rate of rock exhumation in the hanging wall indicates an Oligocene-Early Miocene phase of west-verging reverse faulting. Combined with previously published data from adjacent sites, we suggest that the Anninghe fault has experienced a tectonic transition from Oligocene-Early Miocene east-west contraction to Late Miocene strike-slip motion. The early to Mid-Cenozoic crustal shortening contributed to the uplift of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, supporting the crustal shortening and extrusion model.

description: We provide a comprehensive numerical study of the Emergent Cyclic Inflation scenario. This is a scenario where instead of traditional monotonic slow roll inflation, the universe expands over numerous short asymmetric cycles due to the production of entropy via interactions among different species. This is one of the very few scenarios of inflation which provides a nonsingular geodesically complete space-time and does not require any "reheating" mechanism.

Fast Standing Modes in Transversely Nonuniform Solar Coronal Slabs: Effects of a Finite Plasma Beta

description: We examine the dispersive properties of linear fast standing modes in transversely nonuniform solar coronal slabs with finite gas pressure, or, equivalently, finite plasma beta. We derive a generic dispersion relation governing fast waves in coronal slabs for which the continuous transverse distributions of the physical parameters comprise a uniform core, a uniform external medium, and a transition layer (TL) in between. The profiles in the TL are allowed to be essentially arbitrary. Restricting ourselves to the first several branches of fast modes, which are of most interest from the observational standpoint, we find that a finite plasma beta plays an at most marginal role in influencing the periods ($P$), damping times ($τ$), and critical longitudinal wavenumbers ($k_{\rm c}$), when both $P$ and $τ$ are measured in units of the transverse fast time. However, these parameters are in general significantly affected by how the TL profiles are described. We conclude that, for typical coronal structures, the dispersive properties of the first several branches of fast standing modes can be evaluated with the much simpler theory for cold slabs provided that the transverse profiles are properly addressed and the transverse Alfvén time in cold MHD is replaced with the transverse fast time.

description: We present data from high-resolution numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes-$α$ and the Leray-$α$ models for two-dimensional turbulence. It was shown previously (Lunasin et al., J. Turbulence, 8, (2007), 751-778), that for wavenumbers $k$ such that $kα\gg 1$, the energy spectrum of the smoothed velocity field for the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes-$α$ (NS-$α$) model scales as $k^{-7}$. This result is in agreement with the scaling deduced by dimensional analysis of the flux of the conserved enstrophy using its characteristic time scale. We therefore hypothesize that the spectral scaling of any $α$-model in the sub-$α$ spatial scales must depend only on the characteristic time scale and dynamics of the dominant cascading quantity in that regime of scales. The data presented here, from simulations of the two-dimensional Leray-$α$ model, confirm our hypothesis. We show that for $kα\gg 1$, the energy spectrum for the two-dimensional Leray-$α$ scales as $k^{-5}$, as expected by the characteristic time scale for the flux of the conserved enstrophy of the Leray-$α$ model. These results lead to our conclusion that the dominant directly cascading quantity of the model equations must determine the scaling of the energy spectrum.

description: We present an unbiased large-scale (9 deg$^2$) CN ($N$=1-0) and C$^{18}$O ($J$=1-0) survey of Cygnus-X conducted with the Nobeyama 45m Cygnus-X CO survey. CN and C$^{18}$O are detected in various objects towards the Cygnus-X North and South (e.g., DR17, DR18, DR21, DR22, DR23, and W75N). We find that CN/C$^{18}$O integrated intensity ratios are systematically different from region to region, and are especially enhanced in DR17 and DR18 which are irradiated by the nearby OB stars. This result suggests that CN/C$^{18}$O ratios are enhanced via photodissociation reactions. We investigate the relation between the CN/C$^{18}$O ratio and strength of the UV radiation field. As a result, we find that CN/C$^{18}$O ratios correlate with the far-UV intensities, $G_0$. We also find that CN/C$^{18}$O ratios decrease inside molecular clouds, where the interstellar UV radiation is reduced due to the interstellar dust extinction. We conclude that the CN/C$^{18}$O ratio is controlled by the UV radiation, and is a good probe of photon-dominated regions.

description: An electric charge near the surface of a topological insulator (TI) induces an image magnetic monopole. Here we study the spectra of hydrogenlike ions near the surface of a planar TI, taking into account the modifications which arise due to the presence of the image monopole magnetic fields. In fact, the atom-TI interaction provides additional contributions to the Casimir-Polder potential while the ion-TI interaction modifies the energy shifts in the spectrum, which now became distance dependent. We show that the hyperfine structure is sensitive to the image magnetic monopole fields in states with nonzero angular momentum, and that circular Rydberg ions can enhance the maximal energy shifts. We discuss in detail the energy splitting of the $n$P$_{1/2}$ and $n$P$_{3/2}$ states in hydrogen. We also analyze the Casimir-Polder potential and find that this magnetic interaction produces a large distance repulsive tail for some particular atomic states. A sizable value of the maximum of the potential requires TIs with very low values of the permittivity together with high values of the topological magnetoelectric polarization.

description: A non-minimal coupling xi of the Standard Model Higgs field to gravity can give rise to inflation, but large xi is required and thus leads to a violation of perturbative unitarity at Mp/xi, which is well below the inflationary scale Mp/sqrt(xi). We re-examine this claim for a Higgs mass in the range 125-126 GeV for which lambda_eff(mu) runs to very small values near the Planck scale and can significantly reduce the value of xi required for inflation. Using the two-loop renormalization group equations and effective potential for Higgs xi-inflation, we find that familiar inflationary solutions can have a non-minimal coupling as small as xi ~ 400 without the potential developing a second minimum. We also find a new observationally allowed region of Higgs xi-inflation with xi ~ 90 and distinct inflationary predictions, including an observable level of the tensor-to-scalar ratio r.

description: The aims of this study were to investigate the outcomes of low- and high-virulence bacterial cervical intervertebral discs (IVDs) infection and its association with cervical IVDs degeneration in rats. A total of 75 clean grade male rats were used to establish the corresponding animal models of low and high virulent bacterial cervical disc infection via an anterior cervical approach, with injection of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) with a 29 G needle to cervical IVDs. Specimens were collected for evaluation of Blood routine (Blood-RT), histological staining, and gene expression assays after a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. There were no statistical differences in all groups in white blood cells (WBC) at 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively (P = 0.136). The highest percentage of neutrophils was found in the S. epidermidis group at 2 weeks postoperatively (P = 0.043). MRI and histology showed that at 6 weeks postoperatively, the puncture group and P. acnes group had similar disc degeneration. In the S. epidermidis group, the disc and subchondral bone structure had been destroyed and bony fusion had occurred after the discitis. The upregulation of pro-inflammatory factor expression had the strongest effect of S. epidermidis on the early stage, while the upregulation in the puncture and P. acnes groups was more persistent. P. acnes infection of the cervical IVDs can lead to degenerative changes, whereas S. epidermidis infection leads to the manifestation of septic discitis. The correlation between P. acnes infection and cervical IVDs degeneration found in clinical studies was confirmed.

description: Colloids are abundant in nature, science and technology, with examples ranging from milk to quantum dots and the "colloidal atom" paradigm. Similarly, liquid crystal ordering is important in contexts ranging from biological membranes to laboratory models of cosmic strings and liquid crystal displays in consumer devices. Some of the most exciting recent developments in both of these soft matter fields emerge at their interface, in the fast-growing research arena of liquid crystal colloids. Mesoscale self-assembly in such systems may lead to artificial materials and structures with emergent physical behavior arising from patterning of molecular order and nano- or micro-particles into precisely controlled configurations. Liquid crystal colloids show an exceptional promise of new discovery that may impinge on the composite material fabrication, low-dimensional topology, photonics, and so on. Starting from physical underpinnings, I review the state of art in this fast-growing field, with a focus on its scientific and technological potential.

description: The moments of the heavy quark-parton distribution functions in a heavy pseudoscalar meson are calculated from QCD sum rules. Expanding these sum rules in the inverse heavy quark mass we obtain the heavy-mass limits of the moments. Comparison with the finite mass results reveals that while the heavy mass expansion works reasonably well for the $b$ quark, one has to take into account terms of higher than $(1/m_c)^2$ order for the $c$ quark. This result can provide a quantitative assessment of $c$ and $b$ quark fragmentation models based on the heavy-quark mass limit.

description: Several SU UMa-type dwarf novae, in particular, WZ Sge-type stars tend to exhibit rebrightenings after superoutbursts. The rebrightening phenomenon is problematic for the disk instability theory of dwarf novae since it requires a large amount of remnant matter in the disk even after superoutbursts. Here, we report our optical and infrared observations during the first-ever outburst of a new dwarf nova, SDSS J102146.44+234926.3. During the outburst, we detected superhumps with a period of 0.056281 +/- 0.000015 d, which is typical for superhump periods in WZ Sge stars. In conjunction with the appearance of a long-lived rebrightening, we conclude that the object is a new member of WZ Sge stars. Our observations, furthermore, revealed infrared behaviors for the first time in the rebrightening phase of WZ Sge stars. We discovered prominent infrared superhumps. We calculate the color temperature of the infrared superhump source to be 4600-6400 K. These temperatures are too low to be explained with a fully-ionized disk appearing during dwarf nova outbursts. We also found a Ks-band excess over the hot disk component. These unprecedented infrared activities provide evidence for the presence of mass reservoir at the outermost part of the accretion disk. We propose that a moderately high mass-accretion rate at this infrared active region leads to the long-lived rebrightening observed in SDSS J102146.44+234926.3.

Selective highly charged ions as the prospective optical clock candidates with quality factors larger than $10^{15}$

Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

description: We propose here a few selective highly charged ions (HCIs), namely Ni$^{12+}$ and Cu$^{13+}$, Pd$^{12+}$ and Ag$^{13+}$, that not only promise to be very high accurate optical clocks below $10^{-19}$ uncertainties, but also offer quality factors larger than $10^{15}$ and yet possess simple atomic structures for the experimental set-up. Moreover, these ions have strong optical magnetic-dipole (M1) transitions than the previously proposed HCI clocks. They can be used for the cooling and detection techniques. To demonstrate the projected fractional uncertainties below $10^{-19}$ level, we have estimated the typical orders of magnitudes due to many of the conventional systematics manifested in an atomic clock experiment, such as Zeeman, Stark, black-body radiation, and electric quadrupole shifts, by performing calculations of the relevant atomic properties.

description: The observed dipole asymmetry in Cosmic Microwave Background radiation may have originated from the modulations of super-horizon long wavelength modes. In this work we unveil different aspects of asymmetries generated from the long wavelength mode modulations. We show that the same mechanism which leads to the observed CMB power spectrum dipole asymmetry from the long mode modulations also yields dipole asymmetry in (a): tensor perturbations power spectrum and (b): the halo bias parameter. These are different phenomena relevant to different cosmological histories but both share the same underlying mechanism in generating asymmetries in the sky. We obtain the set of consistency conditions relating the amplitude of dipole asymmetries generated on tensor perturbations and halo bias parameter to the amplitude of dipole asymmetry generated on CMB power spectrum. In addition, we show that this mechanism does not produce dipole asymmetry in acceleration expansion in $ΛCDM$ universe because the super-horizon curvature perturbation is conserved in this background.

Generic absence of strong singularities in loop quantum Bianchi-IX spacetimes

description: We study the generic resolution of strong singularities in loop quantized effective Bianchi-IX spacetime in two different quantizations - the connection operator based `A' quantization and the extrinsic curvature based `K' quantization. We show that in the effective spacetime description with arbitrary matter content, it is necessary to include inverse triad corrections to resolve all the strong singularities in the `A' quantization. Whereas in the `K' quantization these results can be obtained without including inverse triad corrections. Under these conditions, the energy density, expansion and shear scalars for both of the quantization prescriptions are bounded. Notably, both the quantizations can result in potentially curvature divergent events if matter content allows divergences in the partial derivatives of the energy density with respect to the triad variables at a finite energy density. Such events are found to be weak curvature singularities beyond which geodesics can be extended in the effective spacetime. Our results show that all potential strong curvature singularities of the classical theory are forbidden in Bianchi-IX spacetime in loop quantum cosmology and geodesic evolution never breaks down for such events.

Combinatorial operads from monoids

description: We introduce a functorial construction which, from a monoid, produces a set-operad. We obtain new (symmetric or not) operads as suboperads or quotients of the operads obtained from usual monoids such as the additive and multiplicative monoids of integers and cyclic monoids. They involve various familiar combinatorial objects: endofunctions, parking functions, packed words, permutations, planar rooted trees, trees with a fixed arity, Schröder trees, Motzkin words, integer compositions, directed animals, and segmented integer compositions. We also recover some already known (symmetric or not) operads: the magmatic operad, the associative commutative operad, the diassociative operad, and the triassociative operad. We provide presentations by generators and relations of all constructed nonsymmetric operads.

A refinement of the Robertson-Schrödinger uncertainty principle and a Hirschman-Shannon inequality for Wigner distributions

description: We propose a refinement of the Robertson-Schrodinger uncertainty principle (RSUP) using Wigner distributions. This new principle is stronger than the RSUP. In particular, and unlike the RSUP, which can be saturated by many phase space functions, the refined RSUP can be saturated by pure Gaussian Wigner functions only. Moreover, the new principle is technically as simple as the standard RSUP. In addition, it makes a direct connection with modern harmonic analysis, since it involves the Wigner transform and its symplectic Fourier transform, which is the radar ambiguity function. As a by-product of the refined RSUP, we derive inequalities involving the entropy and the covariance matrix of Wigner distributions. These inequalities refine the Shanon and the Hirschman inequalities for the Wigner distribution of a mixed quantum state $ρ$. We prove sharp estimates which critically depend on the purity of $ρ$ and which are saturated in the Gaussian case.

Observations of excitation and damping of transversal oscillation in coronal loops by AIA/SDO
Creators: name: Abedini, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The excitation and damping of transversal coronal loop oscillations and quantitative relation between damping time, damping quality (damping time per period), oscillation amplitude, dissipation mechanism and the wake phenomena are investigated. The observed time series data with the \textit{Atmospheric Imaging Assembly} (AIA) telescope on NASA's \textit{Solar Dynamics Observatory} (SDO) satellite on 2015 March 2, consisting of 400 consecutive images with 12 seconds cadence in the 171 $ \rm{Å}$ pass band is analyzed for evidence of transversal oscillations along the coronal loops by Lomb-Scargle periodgram. In this analysis signatures of transversal coronal loop oscillations that are damped rapidly were found with dominant oscillation periods in the range of $\rm{P=12.25-15.80}$ minutes. Also, damping times and damping qualities of transversal coronal loop oscillations at dominant oscillation periods are estimated in the range of $ \rm{τ_d=11.76-21.46}$ minutes and $ \rm{τ_d/P=0.86-1.49}$, respectively. The observational results of this analysis show that damping qualities decrease slowly with increasing the amplitude of oscillation, but periods of oscillations are not sensitive function of amplitude of oscillations. The order of magnitude of the damping qualities and damping times are in good agreement with previous findings and the theoretical prediction for damping of kink mode oscillations by dissipation mechanism. Furthermore, oscillation of loop segments attenuate with time roughly as $t^{-α}$ that magnitude values of $α$ for 30 different segments change from 0.51 to 0.75.
