A central question of representation learning asks under which conditions it is possible to reconstruct the true latent variables of an arbitrarily complex generative process. Recent breakthrough work by Khemakhem et al. (2019) on nonlinear ICA has answered this question for a broad class of conditional generative processes. We extend this important result in a direction relevant for application to real-world data. First, we generalize the theory to the case of unknown intrinsic problem dimension and prove that in some special (but not very restrictive) cases, informative latent variables will be automatically separated from noise by an estimating model. Furthermore, the recovered informative latent variables will be in one-to-one correspondence with the true latent variables of the generating process, up to a trivial component-wise transformation. Second, we introduce a modification of the RealNVP invertible neural network architecture (Dinh et al. (2016)) which is particularly suitable for this type of problem: the General Incompressible-flow Network (GIN). Experiments on artificial data and EMNIST demonstrate that theoretical predictions are indeed verified in practice. In particular, we provide a detailed set of exactly 22 informative latent variables extracted from EMNIST.

The Graceful Tree Conjecture of Rosa from 1967 asserts that the vertices of each tree T of order n can be injectively labelled by using the numbers {1,2,...,n} in such a way that the absolute differences induced on the edges are pairwise distinct. We prove the following relaxation of the conjecture for each c>0 and for all n>n_0(c). Suppose that (i) the maximum degree of T is bounded by O(n/log n), and (ii) the vertex labels are chosen from the set {1,2,..., (1+c)n}. Then there is an injective labelling of V(T) such that the absolute differences on the edges are pairwise distinct. In particular, asymptotically almost all trees on n vertices admit such a labelling. As a consequence, for any such tree T we can pack (2+2c)n-1 copies of T into the complete graph of order (2+2c)n-1 cyclically. This proves an approximate version of the Ringel-Kotzig conjecture (which asserts the existence of a cyclic packing of 2n-1 copies of any T into the complete graph of order 2n-1) for these trees. The proof proceeds by showing that a certain very natural randomized algorithm produces a desired labelling with high probability.

Recent work shows that quantum signal processing (QSP) and its multi-qubit lifted version, quantum singular value transformation (QSVT), unify and improve the presentation of most quantum algorithms. QSP/QSVT characterize the ability, by alternating ans\"atze, to obliviously transform the singular values of subsystems of unitary matrices by polynomial functions; these algorithms are numerically stable and analytically well-understood. That said, QSP/QSVT require consistent access to a single oracle, saying nothing about computing joint properties of two or more oracles; these can be far cheaper to determine given an ability to pit oracles against one another coherently. This work introduces a corresponding theory of QSP over multiple variables: M-QSP. Surprisingly, despite the non-existence of the fundamental theorem of algebra for multivariable polynomials, there exist necessary and sufficient conditions under which a desired stable multivariable polynomial transformation is possible. Moreover, the classical subroutines used by QSP protocols survive in the multivariable setting for non-obvious reasons, and remain numerically stable and efficient. Up to a well-defined conjecture, we give proof that the family of achievable multivariable transforms is as loosely constrained as could be expected. The unique ability of M-QSP to obliviously approximate joint functions of multiple variables coherently leads to novel speedups incommensurate with those of other quantum algorithms, and provides a bridge from quantum algorithms to algebraic geometry.

The convolution between a text string $S$ of length $N$ and a pattern string $P$ of length $m$ can be computed in $O(N \log m)$ time by FFT. It is known that various types of approximate string matching problems are reducible to convolution. In this paper, we assume that the input text string is given in a compressed form, as a \emph{straight-line program (SLP)}, which is a context free grammar in the Chomsky normal form that derives a single string. Given an SLP $\mathcal{S}$ of size $n$ describing a text $S$ of length $N$, and an uncompressed pattern $P$ of length $m$, we present a simple $O(nm \log m)$-time algorithm to compute the convolution between $S$ and $P$. We then show that this can be improved to $O(\min\{nm, N-\alpha\} \log m)$ time, where $\alpha \geq 0$ is a value that represents the amount of redundancy that the SLP captures with respect to the length-$m$ substrings. The key of the improvement is our new algorithm that computes the convolution between a trie of size $r$ and a pattern string $P$ of length $m$ in $O(r \log m)$ time.

An Analog Signal Processing EIC-PIC Solution for Coherent Data Center Interconnects

Data center interconnects (DCIs) will have to support throughputs of 400 Gbps or more per wavelength in the near future. To achieve such high data rates, coherent modulation and detection is used, which conventionally requires high-speed data conversion and signal processing in the digital domain. Alternatively, high-speed signal conditioning and processing could be carried out in co-designed photonic and electronic integrated circuits, in the optical and electrical analog domains, respectively, to achieve reduced power consumption, latency, form factor, and cost. A few demonstrations of analog domain processing electronic integrated circuits (EICs), including those of equalizer and carrier phase recovery (CPR) modules showcase progress in this direction in the literature. In this brief, for the first time, we present integration of a silicon photonic integrated coherent receiver (ICR) module with a CPR module, as a part of a complete coherent receiver solution. A phase shifter in the ICR (fabricated in a 220 nm silicon-on-insulator technology) receives feedback from a CPR EIC, and the combination compensates for the time varying phase offset between the modulated signal and the unmodulated carrier in the closed loop configuration. In this proof-of-concept demonstration, we present experimental results obtained from the stand-alone silicon photonic ICR along with its system level integration with CPR chip, for QPSK signals. The technique can be extended to a higher-order modulation format, such as 16-QAM, for data rate scaling. The proposed scheme is suitable for homodyne systems, such as polarization multiplexed carrier based self-homodyne links.

This work aims to numerically construct exactly commuting matrices close to given almost commuting ones, which is equivalent to the joint approximate diagonalization problem. We first prove that almost commuting matrices generically has approximate common eigenvectors that are almost orthogonal to each other. Based on this key observation, we propose a fast and robust vector-wise joint diagonalization (VJD) algorithm, which constructs the orthogonal similarity transform by sequentially finding these approximate common eigenvectors. In doing so, we consider sub-optimization problems over the unit sphere, for which we present a Riemannian quasi-Newton method with rigorous convergence analysis. We also discuss the numerical stability of the proposed VJD algorithm. Numerical examples with applications in independent component analysis are provided to reveal the relation with Huaxin Lin's theorem and to demonstrate that our method compares favorably with the state-of-the-art Jacobi-type joint diagonalization algorithm.

The CYCLOPS is a cable-driven parallel mechanism used for minimally invasive applications, with the ability to be customised to different surgical needs; allowing it to be made procedure- and patient-specific. For adequate optimisation, however, appropriate data on clinical constraints and task-space is required. Whereas the former can be provided through preoperative planning and imaging, the latter remains a problem, primarily for highly dexterous MIS systems. The current work focuses on the development of a task-space optimisation method for the CYCLOPS system and the development of a data collection method in a simulation environment for minimally invasive task-spaces. The same data collection method can be used for the development of other minimally invasive platforms. A case-study is used to illustrate the developed method for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD). This paper shows that using this method, the system can be succesfully optimised for this application.

Recent experiments on the anisotropic spin-1/2 triangular antiferromagnet Cs_2CuBr_4 have revealed a remarkably rich phase diagram in applied magnetic fields, consisting of an unexpectedly large number of ordered phases. Motivated by this finding, we study the role of spatial anisotropy, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, and quantum fluctuations on the magnetization process of a triangular antiferromagnet, coming from the semiclassical limit. The richness of the problem stems from two key facts: 1) the classical isotropic model exhibits a large accidental ground state degeneracy, and 2) these three ingredients compete with one another and split this degeneracy in opposing ways. Using a variety of complementary approaches, including extensive Monte Carlo numerics, spin-wave theory, and an analysis of Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons at high fields, we find that their interplay gives rise to a complex phase diagram consisting of numerous incommensurate and commensurate phases. Our results shed light on the observed phase diagram for Cs_2CuBr_4 and suggest a number of future theoretical and experimental directions that will be useful for obtaining a complete understanding of this material's interesting phenomenology.

We present the detection of 6,371 RR Lyrae (RRL) stars distributed across ~14,000 deg^2 of the sky from the combined data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System 1 (PS1), and the second photometric catalogue from the Catalina Survey (CSDR2), out of these, ~2,021 RRL stars (~572 RRab and 1,449 RRc) are new discoveries. The RRL stars have heliocentric distances in the 4--28 kpc distance range. RRL-like color cuts from the SDSS and variability cuts from the PS1 are used to cull our candidate list. We then use the CSDR2 multi-epoch data to refine our sample. Periods were measured using the Analysis of Variance technique while the classification process is performed with the Template Fitting Method in addition to the visual inspection of the light curves. A cross-match of our RRL star discoveries with previous published catalogs of RRL stars yield completeness levels of ~50% for both RRab and RRc stars, and an efficiency of ~99% and ~87% for RRab and RRc stars, respectively. We show that our method for selecting RRL stars allows us to recover halo structures. The full lists of all the RRL stars are made publicly available.

SREP: Out-Of-Band Sync of Transaction Pools for Large-Scale Blockchains

Synchronization of transaction pools (mempools) has shown potential for improving the performance and block propagation delay of state-of-the-art blockchains. Indeed, various heuristics have been proposed in the literature to this end, all of which incorporate exchanges of unconfirmed transactions into their block propagation protocol. In this work, we take a different approach, maintaining transaction synchronization outside (and independently) of the block propagation channel. In the process, we formalize the synchronization problem within a graph theoretic framework and introduce a novel algorithm (SREP - Set Reconciliation-Enhanced Propagation) with quantifiable guarantees. We analyze the algorithm's performance for various realistic network topologies, and show that it converges on any connected graph in a number of steps that is bounded by the diameter of the graph. We confirm our analytical findings through extensive simulations that include comparison with MempoolSync, a recent approach from the literature. Our simulations show that SREP incurs reasonable overall bandwidth overhead and, unlike MempoolSync, scales gracefully with the size of the network.

Let $T$ be a torus acting on $\CC^n$ in such a way that, for all $1\leq k\leq n$, the induced action on the grassmannian $G(k,n)$ has only isolated fixed points. This paper proposes a natural, elementary, explicit description of the corresponding $T$-equivariant Schubert calculus. In a suitable natural basis of the $T$-equivariant cohomology, seen as a module over the $T$-equivariant cohomology of a point, it is formally the same as the ordinary cohomology of a grassmann bundle. The main result, useful for computational purposes, is that the $T$-equivariant cohomology of $G(k,n)$ can be realized as the quotient of a ring generated by derivations on the exterior algebra of a free module of rank $n$ over the $T$-equivariant cohomology of a point.

Recent developments in the theory of amorphous plasticity point to the central role played by the concept of an effective disorder temperature $T_{eff}$. An athermal dynamics for $T_{eff}$ are proposed in the framework of a deformation theory and discussed in light of the recent steady state simulations by Haxton and Liu [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 99}, 195701 (2007)]. The structure of the resulting theory, its parameters and transient dynamics are discussed and compared to available data.

A large variety of dynamical processes that take place on networks can be expressed in terms of the spectral properties of some linear operator which reflects how the dynamical rules depend on the network topology. Often such spectral features are theoretically obtained by considering only local node properties, such as degree distributions. Many networks, however, possess large-scale modular structures that can drastically influence their spectral characteristics, and which are neglected in such simplified descriptions. Here we obtain in a unified fashion the spectrum of a large family of operators, including the adjacency, Laplacian and normalized Laplacian matrices, for networks with generic modular structure, in the limit of large degrees. We focus on the conditions necessary for the merging of the isolated eigenvalues with the continuous band of the spectrum, after which the planted modular structure can no longer be easily detected by spectral methods. This is a crucial transition point which determines when a modular structure is strong enough to affect a given dynamical process. We show that this transition happens in general at different points for the different matrices, and hence the detectability threshold can vary significantly depending on the operator chosen. Equivalently, the sensitivity to the modular structure of the different dynamical processes associated with each matrix will be different, given the same large-scale structure present in the network. Furthermore, we show that, with the exception of the Laplacian matrix, the different transitions coalesce into the same point for the special case where the modules are homogeneous, but separate otherwise.

We study switching between period-two states of an underdamped quantum oscillator modulated at nearly twice its natural frequency. For all temperatures and parameter values switching occurs via quantum activation: it is determined by diffusion over oscillator quasienergy, provided the relaxation rate exceeds the rate of interstate tunneling. The diffusion has quantum origin and accompanies relaxation to the stable state. We find the semiclassical distribution over quasienergy. For T=0, where the system has detailed balance, this distribution differs from the distribution for $T\to 0$; the T=0 distribution is also destroyed by small dephasing of the oscillator. The characteristic quantum activation energy of switching displays a typical dependence on temperature and scaling behavior near the bifurcation point where period doubling occurs.

First I point out that Dettmann clearly showed the Hamiltonian nature of Nose-Hoover mechanics. The trajectories {q(t)} generated by Dettmann's Hamiltonian are identical to those generated by Nose-Hoover mechanics. I also observe that when the (Hamiltonian) Campisi thermostat is applied to "nonequilibrium" heat transfer problems some very interesting, and somewhat paradoxical, phase portraits can result.

Given a branching random walk$\{Z_n\}_{n\geq0}$ on $\mathbb{R}$, let $Z_n([y,\infty))$ be the number of particles located in $[y,\infty)$ at generation $n$. It is known from \cite{Biggins1977} that under some mild conditions, $n^{-1}\log Z_n([\theta x^* n,\infty))$ converges a.s. to $\log m-I(\theta x^*)$, where $\log m-I(\theta x^*)$ is a positive constant. In this work, we investigate its lower deviation, in other words, the convergence rates of $$\mathbb{P}\left(Z_n([\theta x^* n,\infty))<e^{an}\right),$$ where $a\in[0,\log m-I(\theta x^*))$. Our results complete those in \cite{Mehmet}, \cite{Helower} and \cite{GWlower}.

The concern regarding users' data privacy has risen to its highest level due to the massive increase in communication platforms, social networking sites, and greater users' participation in online public discourse. An increasing number of people exchange private information via emails, text messages, and social media without being aware of the risks and implications. Researchers in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) have concentrated on creating tools and strategies to identify, categorize, and sanitize private information in text data since a substantial amount of data is exchanged in textual form. However, most of the detection methods solely rely on the existence of pre-identified keywords in the text and disregard the inference of the underlying meaning of the utterance in a specific context. Hence, in some situations, these tools and algorithms fail to detect disclosure, or the produced results are miss-classified. In this paper, we propose a multi-input, multi-output hybrid neural network which utilizes transfer-learning, linguistics, and metadata to learn the hidden patterns. Our goal is to better classify disclosure/non-disclosure content in terms of the context of situation. We trained and evaluated our model on a human-annotated ground truth dataset, containing a total of 5,400 tweets. The results show that the proposed model was able to identify privacy disclosure through tweets with an accuracy of 77.4% while classifying the information type of those tweets with an impressive accuracy of 99%, by jointly learning for two separate tasks.

It was proposed that if a higher-derivative gravity is renormalizable, it implies necessarily a finite Newtonian potential at the origin, but the reverse of this statement is not true. Here we show that the reverse is true when taking into account the vDVZ discontinuity which states that the theory obtained from massive one by taking zero mass limit is not equivalent to the theory obtained in the zero mass case. The surviving degree of freedom in the zero mass limit is an extra scalar which does not affect the light bending angle, but affects the Newtonian potential. This asserts that in order to make the singularity cancellation, the number of massive ghost and healthy tensors matches with that of massive ghost and healthy scalars.

Isometric class of minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space $\mathbb{R}^3$ has the rigidity: if two simply connected minimal surfaces are isometric, then one of them is congruent to a surface in the specific one-parameter family, called the associated family, of the other. On the other hand, the situation for surfaces with Lorentzian metrics is different. In this paper, we show that there exist two timelike minimal surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space $\mathbb{R}^3_1$ that are isometric each other but one of which does not belong to the congruent class of the associated family of the other. We also prove a rigidity theorem for isometric and anti-isometric classes of timelike minimal surfaces under the assumption that surfaces have no flat points. Moreover, we show how symmetries of such surfaces propagate for various deformations including isometric and anti-isometric deformations. In particular, some conservation laws of symmetry for Goursat transformations are discussed.

We develop Integer Programming (IP) solutions for some special college admission problems arising from the Hungarian higher education admission scheme. We focus on four special features, namely the solution concept of stable score-limits, the presence of lower and common quotas, and paired applications. We note that each of the latter three special feature makes the college admissions problem NP-hard to solve. Currently, a heuristic based on the Gale-Shapley algorithm is being used in the application. The IP methods that we propose are not only interesting theoretically, but may also serve as an alternative solution concept for this practical application, and also for other ones.

Interfaces between complex oxides constitute a unique playground for 2D electron systems (2DES), where superconductivity and magnetism can arise from combinations of bulk insulators. The 2DES at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface is one of the most studied in this regard, and its origin is determined by both the presence of a polar field in LaAlO3 and the insurgence of point defects, such as oxygen vacancies and intermixed cations. These defects usually reside in the conduction channel and are responsible for a decreased electronic mobility. In this work we use an amorphous WO3 overlayer to control the defect formation and obtain an increased electron mobility and effective mass in WO3/LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures. The studied system shows a sharp insulator-to-metal transition as a function of both LaAlO3 and WO3 layer thickness. Low-temperature magnetotransport reveals a strong magnetoresistance reaching 900% at 10 T and 1.5 K, the presence of multiple conduction channels with carrier mobility up to 80 000 cm2/Vs and an unusually high effective mass of 5.6 me. The amorphous character of the WO3 overlayer makes this a versatile approach for defect control at oxide interfaces, which could be applied to other heterestrostures disregarding the constraints imposed by crystal symmetry.

We extend the concept of graph isomorphisms to multilayer networks with any number of "aspects" (i.e., types of layering). In developing this generalization, we identify multiple types of isomorphisms. For example, in multilayer networks with a single aspect, permuting vertex labels, layer labels, and both vertex labels and layer labels each yield different isomorphism relations between multilayer networks. Multilayer network isomorphisms lead naturally to defining isomorphisms in any of the numerous types of networks that can be represented as a multilayer network, and we thereby obtain isomorphisms for multiplex networks, temporal networks, networks with both of these features, and more. We reduce each of the multilayer network isomorphism problems to a graph isomorphism problem, where the size of the graph isomorphism problem grows linearly with the size of the multilayer network isomorphism problem. One can thus use software that has been developed to solve graph isomorphism problems as a practical means for solving multilayer network isomorphism problems. Our theory lays a foundation for extending many network analysis methods --- including motifs, graphlets, structural roles, and network alignment --- to any multilayer network.

In the present paper, the electronic, structural, thermodynamic, and elastic properties of cubic $PbGeO_{3}$ perovskite oxide are presented and computed using the WIEN2K code. The structural properties have been evaluated and they are in good agreement with the theoretical and experimental data. A phonon dispersion is made and it reveals that the cubic $PbGeO_{3}$ perovskite is dynamically stable. In addition, the electronic properties of $PbGeO_{3}$ shows an opening gap energy, meaning a semiconductor behavior with an indirect band gap equal to $1.67 eV$. Moreover, the obtained elastic constants of cubic $PbGeO_{3}$ satisfy Born's mechanical stability criteria, and this indicates that our compound behaves as a stable ductile material. The temperature-pressure effects on thermodynamic parameters are investigated using the Gibbs$2$ package. Finally, based on the obtained results about the cubic $PbGeO_{3}$ perovskite properties, we assume that this compound will have potential applications.

In recent years, using drone, also known as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), in close-distance visual inspection has became an active area in many disciplines. However, many challenges still remain before we can achieve autonomous inspection, especially when inspecting complex structures. The complex civil structures, such as bridges, dams and wind turbines, are large-scale and geometrical complicated. It requires sophisticated path planning algorithms to achieve close-distance inspection and, at the same time, avoid collisions. In practice, directly deploying the path planning result on such structures is error prone, costly, and full of hazards. In this paper, rely on micro quadrotor UAV, the authors present an affordable experimental platform for testing drone-based path planning result. The platform allows the users to conduct many path planning experiments at any time without worrying expensive and time consuming outdoor test flying. This platform is developed based on the bundle of Crazyflie, which includes Crazyflie 2.0 quadrotor, Crazyradio and loco positioning system (LPS). Equipped with an onboard micro FPV camera, the visual data can be lively streamed to the host computer during flight. The functions of manual configuration and waypoints control are explicitly designed in this platform to increase its flexibility and performance on path following and debugging. To evaluate the practicability of the proposed test platform, two existing drone-based path planning algorithms are tested. The results show that even though certain level of error existed, the quality of visual data and accuracy of path following are high enough for simulating most practical inspection applications.

In this paper, we propose a simple and effective technique to allow for efficient self-supervised learning with bi-directional Transformers. Our approach is motivated by recent studies demonstrating that self-attention patterns in trained models contain a majority of non-linguistic regularities. We propose a computationally efficient auxiliary loss function to guide attention heads to conform to such patterns. Our method is agnostic to the actual pre-training objective and results in faster convergence of models as well as better performance on downstream tasks compared to the baselines, achieving state of the art results in low-resource settings. Surprisingly, we also find that linguistic properties of attention heads are not necessarily correlated with language modeling performance.

Recently individual two-headed kinesin molecules have been studied in in vitro motility assays revealing a number of their peculiar transport properties. In this paper we propose a simple and robust model for the kinesin stepping process with elastically coupled Brownian heads showing all of these properties. The analytic and numerical treatment of our model results in a very good fit to the experimental data and practically has no free parameters. Changing the values of the parameters in the restricted range allowed by the related experimental estimates has almost no effect on the shape of the curves and results mainly in a variation of the zero load velocity which can be directly fitted to the measured data. In addition, the model is consistent with the measured pathway of the kinesin ATPase.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been used extensively for computer vision tasks and produce rich feature representation for objects or parts of an image. But reasoning about scenes requires integration between the low-level feature representations and the high-level semantic information. We propose a deep network architecture which models the semantic context of scenes by capturing object-level information. We use Long Short Term Memory(LSTM) units in conjunction with object proposals to incorporate object-object relationship and object-scene relationship in an end-to-end trainable manner. We evaluate our model on the LSUN dataset and achieve results comparable to the state-of-art. We further show visualization of the learned features and analyze the model with experiments to verify our model's ability to model context.

Although one of the most popular practices in photography since the end of the 19th century, an increase in scholarly interest in family photo albums dates back to the early 1980s. Such collections of photos may reveal sociological and historical insights regarding specific cultures and times. They are, however, in most cases scattered among private homes and only available on paper or photographic film, thus making their analysis by academics such as historians, social-cultural anthropologists and cultural theorists very cumbersome. In this paper, we analyze the IMAGO dataset including photos belonging to family albums assembled at the University of Bologna's Rimini campus since 2004. Following a deep learning-based approach, the IMAGO dataset has offered the opportunity of experimenting with photos taken between year 1845 and year 2009, with the goals of assessing the dates and the socio-historical contexts of the images, without use of any other sources of information. Exceeding our initial expectations, such analysis has revealed its merit not only in terms of the performance of the approach adopted in this work, but also in terms of the foreseeable implications and use for the benefit of socio-historical research. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that moves along this path in literature.

We present a precise solution of the polaron problem by a novel Monte Carlo method. Basing on conventional diagrammatic expansion for the Green function of the polaron, $G({\bf k}, \tau)$, we construct a process of generating continuous random variables ${\bf k}$ and $\tau$, with the distribution function exactly coinciding with $G({\bf k}, \tau)$. The polaron spectrum is extracted from the asymptotic behavior of the Green function. We compare our results for the polaron energy with the variational treatment of Feynman, and for the first time present precise dispersion curve which features an ending point at finite momentum.

We propose a scalable track-before-detect (TBD) tracking method based on a Poisson/multi-Bernoulli model. To limit computational complexity, we approximate the exact multi-Bernoulli mixture posterior probability density function (pdf) by a multi-Bernoulli pdf. Data association based on the sum-product algorithm and recycling of Bernoulli components enable the detection and tracking of low-observable objects with limited computational resources. Our simulation results demonstrate a significantly improved tracking performance compared to a state-of-the-art TBD method.

In this article, we consider single, and two-qubit central spin systems interacting with spin baths and discuss their dynamical properties. We consider the cases of interacting and non-interacting spin baths and investigate the quantum speed limit (QSL) time of evolution. The impact of the size of the spin bath on the quantum speed limit for a single qubit central spin model is analyzed. We estimate the quantum correlations for (non-)interacting two central spin qubits and compare their dynamical behaviour with that of QSL time under various conditions. We show how QSL time could be availed to analyze the dynamics of quantum correlations.

The Kibble balance is a precision instrument for realizing the mass unit, the kilogram, in the new international system of units (SI). In recent years, an important trend for Kibble balance experiments is to go tabletop, in which the instrument's size is notably reduced while retaining a measurement accuracy of $10^{-8}$. In this paper, we report a new design of a tabletop Kibble balance to be built at Tsinghua University. The Tsinghua Kibble balance aims to deliver a compact instrument for robust mass calibrations from 10 g to 1 kg with a targeted measurement accuracy of 50 $\mu$g or less. Some major features of the Tsinghua Kibble balance system, including the design of a new magnet, one-mode measurement scheme, the spring-compensated magnet moving mechanism, and magnetic shielding considerations, are discussed.

Spin-charge interconversion (SCI) phenomena have attracted a growing interest in the field of spintronics as means to detect spin currents or manipulate the magnetization of ferromagnets. The key ingredients to exploit these assets are a large conversion efficiency, the scalability down to the nanometer scale and the integrability with opto-electronic and spintronic devices. Here we show that, when an ultrathin Bi film is epitaxially grown on top of a Ge(111) substrate, quantum size effects arising in nanometric Bi islands drastically boost the SCI efficiency, even at room temperature. Using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spin- and angle-resolved photoemission (S-ARPES) we obtain a clear picture of the film morphology, crystallography and electronic structure. We then exploit the Rashba-Edelstein effect (REE) and inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect (IREE) to directly quantify the SCI efficiency using optical and electrical spin injection.

In any imaging survey, measuring accurately the astronomical background light is crucial to obtain good photometry. This paper introduces BKGnet, a deep neural network to predict the background and its associated error. BKGnet has been developed for data from the Physics of the Accelerating Universe Survey (PAUS), an imaging survey using a 40 narrow-band filter camera (PAUCam). Images obtained with PAUCam are affected by scattered light: an optical effect consisting of light multiply that deposits energy in specific detector regions contaminating the science measurements. Fortunately, scattered light is not a random effect, but it can be predicted and corrected for. We have found that BKGnet background predictions are very robust to distorting effects, while still being statistically accurate. On average, the use of BKGnet improves the photometric flux measurements by 7% and up to 20% at the bright end. BKGnet also removes a systematic trend in the background error estimation with magnitude in the i-band that is present with the current PAU data management method. With BKGnet, we reduce the photometric redshift outlier rate

The discovery of extended TeV emission around the Geminga and PSR B0656+14 pulsars, with properties consistent with free particle propagation in the interstellar medium (ISM), has sparked considerable discussion on the possible presence of such halos in other systems. Here we make an assessment of the current TeV source population associated with energetic pulsars, in terms of size and estimated energy density. Based on two alternative estimators we conclude that a large majority of the known TeV sources have emission originating in the zone energetically and dynamically dominated by the pulsar (i.e. the pulsar wind nebula), rather than from a halo of particles diffusing in to the ISM. Furthermore, whilst the number of established halos will surely increase in the future, we find that it is unlikely that such halos contribute significantly to the total TeV $\gamma$-ray luminosity from electrons accelerated in PWN.

HyCoR: Fault-Tolerant Replicated Containers Based on Checkpoint and Replay

HyCoR is a fully-operational fault tolerance mechanism for multiprocessor workloads, based on container replication, using a hybrid of checkpointing and replay. HyCoR derives from two insights regarding replication mechanisms: 1) deterministic replay can overcome a key disadvantage of checkpointing alone -- unacceptably long delays of outputs to clients, and 2) checkpointing can overcome a key disadvantage of active replication with deterministic replay alone -- vulnerability to even rare replay failures due to an untracked nondeterministic events. With HyCoR, the primary sends periodic checkpoints to the backup and logs the outcomes of sources of nondeterminism. Outputs to clients are delayed only by the short time it takes to send the corresponding log to the backup. Upon primary failure, the backup replays only the short interval since the last checkpoint, thus minimizing the window of vulnerability. HyCoR includes a "best effort" mechanism that results in a high recovery rate even in the presence of data races, as long as their rate is low. The evaluation includes measurement of the recovery rate and recovery latency based on fault injection. On average, HyCoR delays responses to clients by less than 1ms and recovers in less than 1s. For a set of eight real-world benchmarks, if data races are eliminated, the performance overhead of HyCoR is under 59%.

Like many other voting systems, Majority Judgement suffers from the weaknesses of the underlying mathematical model: Elections as problem of choice or ranking. We show how the model can be enhanced to take into account the complete process starting from the whole set of persons having passive electoral rights and even the aspect of reelection. By a new view on abstentions from voting and an adaption of Majority Judgement with three grades, we are able to describe a complete process for an election that can be easily put into legislation and sets suitable incentives for politicians who want to be reelected.

Rechargeable lithium, sodium, and aluminum metal-based batteries are among the most versatile platform for high-energy, cost effective electrochemical energy storage. Non-uniform metal deposition and dendrite formation on the negative electrode during repeated cycles of charge and discharge are major hurdles to commercialization of energy storage devices based on each of these chemistries. A long held view is that unstable electrodeposition is a consequence of inherent characteristics of these metals and their inability to form uniform electrodeposits on surfaces with inevitable defects. We report on electrodeposition of lithium in simple liquid electrolytes and in nanoporous solids infused with liquid electrolytes. We find that simple liquid electrolytes reinforced with halogenated salt blends exhibit stable long-term cycling at room temperature, often with no signs of deposition instabilities over hundreds of cycles of charge and discharge and thousands of operating hours. We rationalize these observations with the help of surface energy data for the electrolyte/lithium interface and impedance analysis of the interface during different stages of cell operation. Our findings provide support for an important recent theoretical prediction that the surface mobility of lithium is significantly enhanced in the presence of lithium halide salts.

We provide a fundamental treatment of the molecular communication channel wherein "inscribed matter" is transmitted across a spatial gap to provide reliable signaling between a sender and receiver. Inscribed matter is defined as an ensemble of "tokens" (molecules, objects, and so on) and is inspired, at least partially, by biological systems where groups of individually constructed discrete particles ranging from molecules through membrane-bound structures containing molecules to viruses and organisms are released by a source and travel to a target -- for example, morphogens or semiochemicals diffuse from one cell, tissue or organism diffuse to another. For identical tokens that are neither lost nor modified, we consider messages encoded using three candidate communication schemes: a) token timing (timed release), b) token payload (composition), and c) token timing plus payload. We provide capacity bounds for each scheme and discuss their relative utility. We find that under not unreasonable assumptions, megabit per second rates could be supported at femtoWatt transmitter powers. Since quantities such as token concentration or bin-counting are derivatives of token arrival timing, individual token timing undergirds all molecular communication techniques. Thus, our modeling and results about the physics of efficient token-based information transfer can inform investigations of diverse theoretical and practical problems in engineering and biology. This work, Part I, focuses on the information theoretic bounds on capacity. Part II develops some of the mathematical and information-theoretic ideas that support the bounds presented here.

The {\it COBE} DMR sky maps contain low-level correlated noise. We obtain estimates of the amplitude and pattern of the correlated noise from three techniques: angular averages of the covariance matrix, Monte Carlo simulations of two-point correlation functions, and direct analysis of the DMR maps. The results from the three methods are mutually consistent. The noise covariance matrix of a DMR sky map is diagonal to an accuracy of better than 1\%. For a given sky pixel, the dominant noise covariance occurs with the ring of pixels at an angular separation of $60 \deg$ due to the $60 \deg$ separation of the DMR horns. The mean covariance at $60 \deg$ is $0.45\% ^{+0.18}_{-0.14}$ of the mean variance. Additionally, the variance in a given pixel is $0.7\%$ greater than would be expected from a single beam experiment with the same noise properties. Auto-correlation functions suffer from a $\sim 1.5\; \sigma$ positive bias at $60 \deg$ while cross-correlations have no bias. Published {\it COBE} DMR results are not significantly affected by correlated noise. COBE pre-print 94-

Recently proposed relations between the renormalization group functions of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms and those of a rigid theory allow one to consider a possibility of constructing a totally all loop finite N=1 SUSY gauge theory, including the soft SUSY breaking terms. The requirement of finiteness, which can be satisfied in previously constructed finite SUSY GUTs, imposes some constraints on the SUSY breaking parameters which, in the leading order, coincide with those originating from the supergravity and superstring-inspired models. Explicit relations between the soft terms, which lead to a completely finite theory in any loop order, are given.

We report on the results of 18 observations of the core, or peak, of the Fe K emission line at $\sim 6.4$ keV in 15 Seyfert I galaxies using the {\it Chandra} High Energy Grating (HEG). These data afford the highest precision measurements of the peak energy of the Fe K line, and the highest spectral resolution measurements of the width of the core of the line to date. We were able to measure the peak energy in 17 data sets, and, excluding a very deep observation of NGC 3783, we obtained a weighted mean of $6.404 \pm 0.005$ keV. In all 15 sources the two-parameter, 99% confidence errors on the line peak energy do not exclude fluorescent $K\alpha$ line emission from Fe {\sc i}, although two sources (Mkn 509 and 3C 120) stand out as very likely being dominated by $K\alpha$ emission from Fe {\sc xvii} or so. We were able to measure the line core width in 14 data sets and obtained a weighted mean of 2380 +/- 760 km/s FWHM (excluding the NGC 3783 deep exposure), a little larger than the instrument resolution. However, there is evidence of underlying broad line emission in at least 4 sources. In fact, the width of the peak varies widely from source to source and it may in general have a contribution from the outer parts of an accretion disk {\it and} more distant matter. For the disk contribution to also peak at 6.4 keV requires greater line emissivity at hundreds of gravitational radii than has been deduced from previous studies of the Fe K line.

Nonlinear regression is a useful statistical tool, relating observed data and a nonlinear function of unknown parameters. When the parameter-dependent nonlinear function is computationally intensive, a straightforward regression analysis by maximum likelihood is not feasible. The method presented in this paper proposes to construct a faster running surrogate for such a computationally intensive nonlinear function, and to use it in a related nonlinear statistical model that accounts for the uncertainty associated with this surrogate. A pivotal quantity in the Earth's climate system is the climate sensitivity: the change in global temperature due to doubling of atmospheric $\mathrm{CO}_2$ concentrations. This, along with other climate parameters, are estimated by applying the statistical method developed in this paper, where the computationally intensive nonlinear function is the MIT 2D climate model.

In this paper, we present a description of the baseline system of Voice Conversion Challenge (VCC) 2020 with a cyclic variational autoencoder (CycleVAE) and Parallel WaveGAN (PWG), i.e., CycleVAEPWG. CycleVAE is a nonparallel VAE-based voice conversion that utilizes converted acoustic features to consider cyclically reconstructed spectra during optimization. On the other hand, PWG is a non-autoregressive neural vocoder that is based on a generative adversarial network for a high-quality and fast waveform generator. In practice, the CycleVAEPWG system can be straightforwardly developed with the VCC 2020 dataset using a unified model for both Task 1 (intralingual) and Task 2 (cross-lingual), where our open-source implementation is available at https://github.com/bigpon/vcc20_baseline_cyclevae. The results of VCC 2020 have demonstrated that the CycleVAEPWG baseline achieves the following: 1) a mean opinion score (MOS) of 2.87 in naturalness and a speaker similarity percentage (Sim) of 75.37% for Task 1, and 2) a MOS of 2.56 and a Sim of 56.46% for Task 2, showing an approximately or nearly average score for naturalness and an above average score for speaker similarity.

Let $D$ be a strongly connected directed graph of order $n\geq 4$ which satisfies the following condition (*): for every pair of non-adjacent vertices $x, y$ with a common in-neighbour $d(x)+d(y)\geq 2n-1$ and $min \{ d(x), d(y)\}\geq n-1$. In \cite{[2]} (J. of Graph Theory 22 (2) (1996) 181-187)) J. Bang-Jensen, G. Gutin and H. Li proved that $D$ is Hamiltonian. In [9] it was shown that if $D$ satisfies the condition (*) and the minimum semi-degree of $D$ at least two, then either $D$ contains a pre-Hamiltonian cycle (i.e., a cycle of length $n-1$) or $n$ is even and $D$ is isomorphic to the complete bipartite digraph (or to the complete bipartite digraph minus one arc) with partite sets of cardinalities of $n/2$ and $n/2$. In this paper we show that if the minimum out-degree of $D$ at least two and the minimum in-degree of $D$ at least three, then $D$ contains also a Hamiltonian bypass, (i.e., a subdigraph is obtained from a Hamiltonian cycle by reversing exactly one arc).

This article proposes a meta-learning method for estimating the conditional average treatment effect (CATE) from a few observational data. The proposed method learns how to estimate CATEs from multiple tasks and uses the knowledge for unseen tasks. In the proposed method, based on the meta-learner framework, we decompose the CATE estimation problem into sub-problems. For each sub-problem, we formulate our estimation models using neural networks with task-shared and task-specific parameters. With our formulation, we can obtain optimal task-specific parameters in a closed form that are differentiable with respect to task-shared parameters, making it possible to perform effective meta-learning. The task-shared parameters are trained such that the expected CATE estimation performance in few-shot settings is improved by minimizing the difference between a CATE estimated with a large amount of data and one estimated with just a few data. Our experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms the existing meta-learning approaches and CATE estimation methods.

The physics of micron-scale biological colonies usually benefits from different out-of-equilibrium sources. In bacterial colonies and cellular tissues, the growth process is among the important active sources that determine the dynamics. In this article, we study the generic dynamical instabilities associated with the growth phenomena that may arise in both scalar and vectorial systems. In vectorial systems, where the rotational degrees of particles play a role, a phenomenological growthmediated torque can affect the rotational dynamics of individual particles. We show that such a growth-mediated torque can result in active traveling waves in the bulk of a growing system. In addition to the bulk properties, we analyze the instabilities in the shape of growing interfaces in both scalar and vectorial systems.

The Boltzmann equation for inelastic Maxwell models is considered to determine the rheological properties in a granular binary mixture in the simple shear flow state. The transport coefficients (shear viscosity and viscometric functions) are {\em exactly} evaluated in terms of the coefficients of restitution, the (reduced) shear rate and the parameters of the mixture (particle masses, diameters and concentration). The results show that in general, for a given value of the coefficients of restitution, the above transport properties decrease with increasing shear rate.

We reconsider the model of the randomly pinned planar flux array (or the two-dimensional XY-model with random fields and no vortices) in extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We show that contrary to what has been reported recently [Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett.\ {\bf 72}, 4133 (1994)] the disorder-averaged displacement correlation function is different from the pure case for larger values of the disorder. Its slope as a function of the logarithm of disorder is compatible with newer RG-calculation results.

The aim of this work is to evaluate the cheapest superreplication price of a general (possibly path-dependent) European contingent claim in a context where the model is uncertain. This setting is a generalization of the uncertain volatility model (UVM) introduced in by Avellaneda, Levy and Paras. The uncertainty is specified by a family of martingale probability measures which may not be dominated. We obtain a partial characterization result and a full characterization which extends Avellaneda, Levy and Paras results in the UVM case.

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the nonlinear propagation of 87Rb Bose Einstein condensates in a trap with cylindrical symmetry. An additional weak periodic potential which encloses an angle with the symmetry axis of the waveguide is applied. The observed complex wave packet dynamics results from the coupling of transverse and longitudinal motion. We show that the experimental observations can be understood applying the concept of effective mass, which also allows to model numerically the three dimensional problem with a one dimensional equation. Within this framework the observed slowly spreading wave packets are a consequence of the continuous change of dispersion. The observed splitting of wave packets is very well described by the developed model and results from the nonlinear effect of transient solitonic propagation.

Strongly suppressed superconducting proximity effect and ferromagnetism in trilayers of $\rm Bi_2Se_3$ / $\rm SrRuO_3$ / underdoped $\rm YBa_2Cu_3O_x$: A possible new platform for Majorana nano-electronics

We report properties of topological insulator - ferromagnet - superconductor trilayers comprised of thin films of 20 nm thick $\rm Bi_2Se_3$ on 10 nm $\rm SrRuO_3$ on 30 nm $\rm YBa_2Cu_3O_x$. As deposited trilayers are underdoped and have a superconductive transition with $\rm T_c$ onset at 75 K, zero resistance at 65 K, $\rm T_{Cueri}$ at 150 K and $\rm T^*$ of about 200 K. Further reannealing under vacuum yields the 60 K phase of $\rm YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ which still has zero resistance below about 40 K. Only when $10\times 100$ micro-bridges were patterned in the trilayer, some of the bridges showed resistive behavior all the way down to low temperatures. Magnetoresistance versus temperature of the superconductive ones showed the typical peak due to flux flow against pinning below $\rm T_c$, while the resistive ones showed only the broad leading edge of such a peak. All this indicates clearly weak-link superconductivity in the resistive bridges between superconductive $\rm YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ grains via the topological and ferromagnetic cap layers. Comparing our results to those of a reference trilayer with the topological $\rm Bi_2Se_3$ layer substituted by a non-superconducting highly overdoped $\rm La_{1.65}Sr_{0.35}CuO_4$, indicates that the superconductive proximity effect as well as ferromagnetism in the topological trilayer are actually strongly suppressed compared to the non-topological reference trilayer. This strong suppression is likely to originate in strong proximity induced edge currents in the SRO/YBCO layer that can lead to Majorana bound states, a possible signature of which is observed in the present study as zero bias conductance peaks.

We prove weak laws of large numbers and central limit theorems of Lindeberg type for empirical centres of mass (empirical Fr\'echet means) of independent non-identically distributed random variables taking values in Riemannian manifolds. In order to prove these theorems we describe and prove a simple kind of Lindeberg-Feller central approximation theorem for vector-valued random variables, which may be of independent interest and is therefore the subject of a self-contained section. This vector-valued result allows us to clarify the number of conditions required for the central limit theorem for empirical Fr\'echet means, while extending its scope.

The current manuscript employs the parity and time reversal symmetry in the Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiment. For this purpose, we develop a general scattering matrix framework founded on the concatenation of many individual compounded scattering processes on the setup. In this way, we derive the general scattering matrix of a parity and time reversal symmetric Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiment (HBT-PT). Within such scattering formulation, we propose a theoretical framework which provides how to measure the symmetry of the system through the correlation function of a pair of particles transmitted through the leads. The correlation function naturally reveal the quantum statistics of both bosons and fermions and demonstrate a very preponderant role of PT symmetry on the HBT experiment. We indicate the formation of both quantum and classical universal Turing machine depending on controllable parameters of the apparatus.

We study the asymptotic behaviour of a finite network of oscillators (harmonic or anharmonic) coupled to a number of deterministic Lagrangian thermostats of finite energy. In particular, we consider a chain of oscillators interacting with two thermostats situated at the boundary of the chain. Under appropriate assumptions we prove that the vector $(p,q)$ of moments and coordinates of the oscillators in the network satisfies $(p,q)(t)\to (0,q_c)$ when $t\to\infty$, where $q_c$ is a critical point of some effective potential, so that the oscillators just stop. Moreover, we argue that the energy transport in the system stops as well without reaching the thermal equilibrium. This result is in contrast to the situation when the energies of the thermostats are infinite, studied for a similar system in [14] and subsequent works, where the convergence to a non-trivial limiting regime was established. The proof is based on a method developed in [22], where it was observed that the thermostats produce some effective dissipation despite the Lagrangian nature of the system.

We present ab-initio calculations of photoionization thresholds and cross sections of the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond from the ground $^{3}\!A_2$ and the excited $^{3}\!E$ states. We show that after the ionization from the $^{3}\!E$ level the NV center transitions into the metastable $^{4}\!A_2$ electronic state of the neutral defect. We reveal how spin polarization of $\mathrm{NV}^{-}$ gives rise to spin polarization of the $^{4}\!A_2$ state, providing an explanation of electron spin resonance experiments. We obtain smooth photoionization cross sections by employing dense $k$-point meshes for the Brillouin zone integration together with the band unfolding technique to rectify the distortions of the band structure induced by artificial periodicity of the supercell approach. Our calculations provide a comprehensive picture of photoionization mechanisms of $\mathrm{NV}^{-}$. They will be useful in interpreting and designing experiments on charge-state dynamics at NV centers. In particular, we offer a consistent explanation of recent results of spin-to-charge conversion of NV centers.

We present the first grating-resolution X-ray spectra of the X-ray binary Cir X-1, obtained with the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on Chandra. These reveal a rich set of lines from H-like and/or He-like Ne, Mg, Si, S and Fe detected with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The lines are broad (+/- 2000 km/s) and show P Cygni profiles. The absorption components of the lines extend to low velocity, and they have about the same widths and strengths as the corresponding emission components. The widths of the X-ray P Cygni lines are comparable to that of the broad component of the strong, asymmetric H-alpha line from Cir X-1, suggesting that the two phenomena may be related. We discuss outflow models and propose that the P Cygni profiles may arise in the moderate temperature (5 x 10^6 K) region of the wind from an X-ray heated accretion disk. This basic picture strengthens the idea that the accretion disk in Cir X-1 is viewed in a relatively edge-on manner, and it suggests that Cir X-1 is the X-ray binary analog of a Broad Absorption Line quasar.

Recommender system is currently widely used in many e-commerce systems, such as Amazon, eBay, and so on. It aims to help users to find items which they may be interested in. In literature, neighborhood-based collaborative filtering and matrix factorization are two common methods used in recommender systems. In this paper, we combine these two methods with personalized weights on them. Rather than using fixed weights for these two methods, we assume each user has her/his own preference over them. Our results shows that our algorithm outperforms neighborhood-based collaborative filtering algorithm, matrix factorization algorithm and their combination with fixed weights.

In this paper we examine the relationship between various types of positivity for knots and the concodance invariant tau discovered by Ozsvath and Szabo and independently by Rasmussen. The main result shows that, for fibered knots, tau characterizes strong quasipositivity. This is quantified by the statement that for K fibered, tau(K)=g(K) if and only if K is strongly quasipositive. In addition, we survey existing results regarding tau and forms of positivity and highlight several consequences concerning the types of knots which are (strongly) (quasi) positive. For instance, we show that any knot known to admit a lens space surgery is strongly quasipositive and exhibit infinite families of knots which are not quasipositive.

We present a method for hierarchic categorization and taxonomy evolution description. We focus on the structure of epistemic communities (ECs), or groups of agents sharing common knowledge concerns. Introducing a formal framework based on Galois lattices, we categorize ECs in an automated and hierarchically structured way and propose criteria for selecting the most relevant epistemic communities - for instance, ECs gathering a certain proportion of agents and thus prototypical of major fields. This process produces a manageable, insightful taxonomy of the community. Then, the longitudinal study of these static pictures makes possible an historical description. In particular, we capture stylized facts such as field progress, decline, specialization, interaction (merging or splitting), and paradigm emergence. The detection of such patterns in social networks could fruitfully be applied to other contexts.

Length segregation in mixtures of spherocylinders induced by imposed topological defects

We explore length segregation in binary mixtures of spherocylinders of lengths $L_1$ and $L_2$ with the same diameter $D$ which are tangentially confined on a spherical surface of radius $R$. The orientation of spherocylinders is constrained along an externally imposed direction field on the sphere which is either along the longitude or the latitude lines of the sphere. In both situations, integer orientational defects at the poles are imposed. We show that these topological defects induce a complex segregation picture also depending on the length ratio factor $\gamma$=$L_2/L_1$ and the total packing fraction $\eta$ of the spherocylinders. When the binary mixture is aligned along longitudinal lines of the sphere, shorter rods tend to accumulate at the topological defects of the polar caps whereas longer rods occupy central equatorial area of the spherical surface. In the reverse case of latitude ordering, a state can emerge where longer rods are predominantly both in the cap and in the equatorial areas and shorter rods are localized in between. As a reference situation, we consider a defect-free situation in the flat plane and do not find any length segregation there at similar $\gamma$ and $\eta$, hence the segregation is purely induced by the imposed topological defects. It is also revealed that the shorter rods at $\gamma$=4 and $\eta \ge$0.5 act as obstacles to the rotational relaxation of the longer rods when all orientational constraints are released.

Structural Breaks in Interactive Effects Panels and the Stock Market Reaction to COVID-19

Dealing with structural breaks is an important step in most, if not all, empirical economic research. This is particularly true in panel data comprised of many cross-sectional units, such as individuals, firms or countries, which are all affected by major events. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected most sectors of the global economy, and there is by now plenty of evidence to support this. The impact on stock markets is, however, still unclear. The fact that most markets seem to have partly recovered while the pandemic is still ongoing suggests that the relationship between stock returns and COVID-19 has been subject to structural change. It is therefore important to know if a structural break has occurred and, if it has, to infer the date of the break. In the present paper we take this last observation as a source of motivation to develop a new break detection toolbox that is applicable to different sized panels, easy to implement and robust to general forms of unobserved heterogeneity. The toolbox, which is the first of its kind, includes a test for structural change, a break date estimator, and a break date confidence interval. Application to a panel covering 61 countries from January 3 to September 25, 2020, leads to the detection of a structural break that is dated to the first week of April. The effect of COVID-19 is negative before the break and zero thereafter, implying that while markets did react, the reaction was short-lived. A possible explanation for this is the quantitative easing programs announced by central banks all over the world in the second half of March.

In this paper we study the spectral efficiency (SE) of a point-to-point massive multiple-input multiple-output system (P2P-massive MIMO) with limited radio frequency (RF) chains, i.e., analog-to-digital/ digital-to-analog (D2A/A2D) modules, at the transceivers. The resulting architecture is known as hybrid beamforming, where the joint analog and digital beamforming optimization maximizes the SE. We analyze the SE of the system by keeping the number of RF-chains low, but placing analog amplifiers at different paths. Conventional hybrid beamforming architecture uses the amplifiers right after the D2A modules. However, placing them at the phase shifters or at the antennas can effect the SE of hybrid beamforming. We study the optimal placement of the analog amplifiers and pinpoint the amount of loss in case of misplaced amplifiers.

In 1989, R. DiPerna and P.-L. Lions established the existence of global weak solutions to the Vlasov-Maxwell system. In the present notes we give a somewhat simplified proof of this result for the relativistic version of this system, the main purpose being to make this important result of kinetic theory more easily accessible to newcomers in the field. We show that the weak solutions preserve the total charge.

The behavior of colloidal particles with a hard core and a soft shell has attracted the attention for researchers in the physical-chemistry interface not only due the large number of applications, but due the unique properties of these systems in bulk and at interfaces. The adsorption at the boundary of two phases can provide information about the molecular arrangement. In this way, we perform Langevin Dynamics simulations of polymer-grafted nanoparticles. We employed a recently obtained core-softened potential to analyze the relation between adsorption, structure and dynamic properties of the nanoparticles near a solid repulsive surface. Two cases were considered: flat or structured walls. At low temperatures, a maxima is observed in the adsorption. It is related to a fluid to clusters transition and with a minima in the contact layer diffusion - and is explained by the competition between the scales in the core-softened interaction. Due the long range repulsion, the particles stay at the distance correspondent to this length scale at low densities, and overcome the repulsive barrier as the packing increases, However, increasing the temperature, the gain in kinetic energy allows the colloids to overcome the long range repulsion barrier even at low densities. As consequence, there is no competition and no maxima was observed in the adsorption.

We consider an external potential, $-\lambda \phi$, due to one or more nuclei. Following the Dirac picture such a potential polarizes the vacuum. The polarization density as derived in physics literature, after a well known renormalization procedure, depends decisively on the strength of $\lambda$. For small $\lambda$, more precisely as long as the lowest eigenvalue, $e_1(\lambda)$, of the corresponding Dirac operator stays in the gap of the essential spectrum, the integral over the density vanishes. In other words the vacuum stays neutral. But as soon as $e_1(\lambda)$ dives into the lower continuum the vacuum gets spontaneously charged with charge $ 2e$. Global charge conservation implies that two positrons were emitted out of the vacuum, this is, a large enough external potential can produce electron-positron pairs. We give a rigorous proof of that phenomenon.

The T-noninvariant transverse polarization of neutrons is considered for muon capture by a 6-Li nucleus with decay into a quasistationary 2+ state of the three particle alpha+n+n continuum. This polarization is orthogonal to the plane spanned by the polarization axis of the initial mesic atom and the neutron momentum. The situation in which neutrons that are emitted in the plane orthogonal to the axis of the mesic-atom polarization and which have oppositely directed momenta equal in magnitude are selected is analyzed. The wave function of the final state is constructed by using the method of hyperspherical harmonics. In the approximation of the allowed Gamow-Teller transition 1+ to 2+, this neutron polarization is expressed in terms of the T-noninvariant relative phase of reduced matrix elements for transitions from the 6-Li ground state to various final-state configurations.

We present angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) data on Na-doped Ca$_2$CuO$_2$Cl$_2$. We demonstrate that the chemical potential shifts upon doping the system across the insulator to metal transition. The resulting low energy spectra reveal a gap structure which appears to deviate from the canonical $d_{x2-y2} ~ |cos(k_x a)-cos(k_y a)|$ form. To reconcile the measured gap structure with d-wave superconductivity one can understand the data in terms of two gaps, a very small one contributing to the nodal region and a very large one dominating the anti-nodal region. The latter is a result of the electronic structure observed in the undoped antiferromagnetic insulator. Furthermore, the low energy electronic structure of the metallic sample contains a two component structure in the nodal direction, and a change in velocity of the dispersion in the nodal direction at roughly 50 meV. We discuss these results in connection with photoemission data on other cuprate systems.

Translating results due to J. Labute into group cohomological language, A. Schmidt proved that a finitely presented pro-p-group G is mild and hence of cohomological dimension cd G=2 if $H^1(G,\F_p)=U\oplus V$ as $\F_p$-vector space and the cup-product $H^1(G,\F_p)\otimes H^1(G,\F_p)\to H^2(G,\F_p)$ maps $U\otimes V$ surjectively onto $H^2(G,\F_p)$ and is identically zero on $V\otimes V$. This has led to important results in the study of p-extensions of number fields with restricted ramification, in particular in the case of tame ramification. In this paper, we extend Labute's theory of mild pro-p-groups with respect to weighted Zassenhaus filtrations and prove a generalization of the above result for higher Massey products which allows to construct mild pro-p-groups with defining relations of arbitrary degree. We apply these results for one-relator pro-p-groups and obtain some new evidence of an open question due to Serre.

Reeb graphs are widely used in a range of fields for the purposes of analyzing and comparing complex spaces via a simpler combinatorial object. Further, they are closely related to extended persistence diagrams, which largely but not completely encode the information of the Reeb graph. In this paper, we investigate the effect on the persistence diagram of a particular continuous operation on Reeb graphs; namely the (truncated) smoothing operation. This construction arises in the context of the Reeb graph interleaving distance, but separately from that viewpoint provides a simplification of the Reeb graph which continuously shrinks small loops. We then use this characterization to initiate the study of inverse problems for Reeb graphs using smoothing by showing which paths in persistence diagram space (commonly known as vineyards) can be realized by a path in the space of Reeb graphs via these simple operations. This allows us to solve the inverse problem on a certain family of piecewise linear vineyards when fixing an initial Reeb graph.

In this paper, we study compound bi-free Poisson distributions for {\sl two-faced families of random variables}. We prove a Poisson limit theorem for compound bi-free Poisson distributions. Furthermore, a bi-free infinitely divisible distribution for a two-faced family of self-adjoint random variables can be realized as the limit of a sequence of compound bi-free Poisson distributions of two-faced families of self-adjoint random variables. If a compound bi-free Poisson distribution is determined by a positive number and the distribution of a two faced family of finitely many random variables, which has an almost sure random matrix model, and the left random variables commute with the right random variables in the two-faced family, then we can construct a random bi-matrix model for the compound bi-free Poisson distribution. If a compound bi-free Poisson distribution is determined by a positive number and the distribution of a commutative pair of random variables, we can construct an asymptotic bi-matrix model with entries of creation and annihilation operators for the compound bi-free Poisson distribution.

Two-Body Dirac equations of constraint dynamics provide a covariant framework to investigate the problem of highly relativistic quarks in meson bound states. This formalism eliminates automatically the problems of relative time and energy, leading to a covariant three dimensional formalism with the same number of degrees of freedom as appears in the corresponding nonrelativistic problem. It provides bound state wave equations with the simplicity of the nonrelativistic Schroedinger equation. Here we begin important tests of the relativistic sixteen component wave function solutions obtained in a recent work on meson spectroscopy, extending a method developed previously for positronium decay into two photons. Preliminary to this we examine the positronium decay in the 3P_{0,2} states as well as the 1S_0. The two-gamma quarkonium decays that we investigate are for the \eta_{c}, \eta_{c}^{\prime}, \chi_{c0}, \chi_{c2}, \pi^{0}, \pi_{2}, a_{2}, and f_{2}^{\prime} mesons. Our results for the four charmonium states compare well with those from other quark models and show the particular importance of including all components of the wave function as well as strong and CM energy dependent potential effects on the norm and amplitude. The results for the \pi^{0}, although off the experimental rate by 15%, is much closer than the usual expectations from a potential model. We conclude that the Two-Body Dirac equations lead to wave functions which provide good descriptions of the two-gamma decay amplitude and can be used with some confidence for other purposes.

Spin-dependent scattering from magnetic impurities inside a superconductor gives rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states within the superconducting gap. As such, YSR states have been very successfully modeled with an effective scattering potential (Kondo impurity model). Using a scanning tunneling microscope, we exploit the proximity of the tip to a surface impurity and its influence on the YSR state to make a quantitative connection between the YSR state energy and the impurity-substrate hybridization. We corroborate the coupling between impurity and substrate as a key energy scale for surface derived YSR states using the Anderson impurity model in the mean field approximation, which accurately explains our observations. The model allows to decide on which side of the quantum phase transition the system resides based on additional conductance measurements. We propose that the Anderson impurity model is much more appropriate to describe YSR states from impurities on a superconducting surface than the Kondo impurity model, which is more appropriate for impurities inside a superconductor. We thus provide a first step towards a more quantitative comparison of experimental data with fully correlated calculations based on the Anderson impurity model.

It is proposed that shock wave dynamics within the gas of a small bubble explain sonoluminescence, the emission of visible radiation. As the bubble radius oscillates, shock waves develop from spherical sound waves created inside the gas bubble. As any such shock propagates toward the center, it strengthens and, upon convergence and subsequent reflection, temperature of gas inside bubble increases dramatically in such a way that it can produce plasma. Since main radiation product in exploding epoch, nonadiabatic condition for imploding shock wave cool plasma and cause exploding shock wave can not sufficiently rise temperature to produce radiation. In this work we compare cooling time for plasma by bermsstrahlung radiation with collapsing time for the imploding shock wave . We find a constraint on radius of bubble with respect to temperature of water. This constraint condition explains experimental results as to, why the cold water is fine for SL.

We construct a set of conserved charges for asymptotically deSitter spacetimes that correspond to asymptotic conformal isometries. The charges are given by boundary integrals at spatial infinity in the flat cosmological slicing of deSitter. Using a spinor construction, we show that the charge associated with conformal time translations is necessarilly positive and hence may provide a useful definition of energy for these spacetimes. A similar spinor construction shows that the charge associated with the time translation Killing vector of deSitter in static coordinates has both positive and negative definite contributions. For Schwarzshild-deSitter the conformal energy we define is given by the mass parameter times the cosmological scale factor. The time dependence of the charge is a consequence of a non-zero flux of the corresponding conserved current at spatial infinity. For small perturbations of deSitter, the charge is given by the total comoving mass density.

The paradigm of image-to-image translation is leveraged for the benefit of sketch stylization via transfer of geometric textural details. Lacking the necessary volumes of data for standard training of translation systems, we advocate for operation at the patch level, where a handful of stylized sketches provide ample mining potential for patches featuring basic geometric primitives. Operating at the patch level necessitates special consideration of full sketch translation, as individual translation of patches with no regard to neighbors is likely to produce visible seams and artifacts at patch borders. Aligned pairs of styled and plain primitives are combined to form input hybrids containing styled elements around the border and plain elements within, and given as input to a seamless translation (ST) generator, whose output patches are expected to reconstruct the fully styled patch. An adversarial addition promotes generalization and robustness to diverse geometries at inference time, forming a simple and effective system for arbitrary sketch stylization, as demonstrated upon a variety of styles and sketches.

Three problems exist in sequential facial image editing: incontinuous editing, inconsistent editing, and irreversible editing. Incontinuous editing is that the current editing can not retain the previously edited attributes. Inconsistent editing is that swapping the attribute editing orders can not yield the same results. Irreversible editing means that operating on a facial image is irreversible, especially in sequential facial image editing. In this work, we put forward three concepts and corresponding definitions: editing continuity, consistency, and reversibility. Then, we propose a novel model to achieve the goal of editing continuity, consistency, and reversibility. A sufficient criterion is defined to determine whether a model is continuous, consistent, and reversible. Extensive qualitative and quantitative experimental results validate our proposed model and show that a continuous, consistent and reversible editing model has a more flexible editing function while preserving facial identity. Furthermore, we think that our proposed definitions and model will have wide and promising applications in multimedia processing. Code and data are available at https://github.com/mickoluan/CCR.

Conventional Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) has been well-addressed by pattern matching, but the ability of commonsense reasoning remains a gap between humans and machines. Previous methods tackle this problem by enriching word representations via pre-trained Knowledge Graph Embeddings (KGE). However, they make limited use of a large number of connections between nodes in Knowledge Graphs (KG), which could be pivotal cues to build the commonsense reasoning chains. In this paper, we propose a Plug-and-play module to IncorporatE Connection information for commonsEnse Reasoning (PIECER). Beyond enriching word representations with knowledge embeddings, PIECER constructs a joint query-passage graph to explicitly guide commonsense reasoning by the knowledge-oriented connections between words. Further, PIECER has high generalizability since it can be plugged into suitable positions in any MRC model. Experimental results on ReCoRD, a large-scale public MRC dataset requiring commonsense reasoning, show that PIECER introduces stable performance improvements for four representative base MRC models, especially in low-resource settings.

Deuterium and 4He measurements agree well with expectations, but 7Li observations lie a factor 3-4 below the BBN+WMAP prediction. This 4-5\sigma\ mismatch constitutes the cosmic "lithium problem," with disparate solutions possible. (1) Astrophysical systematics in the observations could exist but are increasingly constrained. (2) Nuclear physics experiments provide a wealth of well-measured cross-section data, but 7Be destruction could be enhanced by unknown or poorly-measured resonances, such as 7Be + 3He -> 10C^* -> p + 9B. (3) Physics beyond the Standard Model can alter the 7Li abundance, though D and 4He must remain unperturbed; we discuss such scenarios, highlighting decaying Supersymmetric particles and time-varying fundamental constants. Present and planned experiments could reveal which (if any) of these is the solution to the problem.

We calculate the vacuum energy density by taking account of different massive scalar fields in AdS spacetime. It is found that the mass spectrum of a scalar field in AdS spacetime is discrete because of a natural boundary condition. The results match well with the observed cosmological constant.

We discuss the viability of the $\mu$--$\tau$ interchange symmetry imposed on the neutrino mass matrix in the flavor space. Whereas the exact symmetry is shown to lead to textures of completely degenerate spectrum which is incompatible with the neutrino oscillation data, introducing small perturbations into the preceding textures, inserted in a minimal way, lead however to four deformed textures representing an approximate $\mu$--$\tau$ symmetry. We motivate the form of these `minimal' textures, which disentangle the effects of the perturbations, and present some concrete realizations assuming exact $\mu$--$\tau$ at the Lagrangian level but at the expense of adding new symmetries and matter fields. We find that all these deformed textures are capable to accommodate the experimental data, and in all types of neutrino mass hierarchies, in particular the non-vanishing value for the smallest mixing angle.

We report that the classical phenomena of optical activity and circular dichroism, which are traditionally associated with chirality (helicity) of organic molecules, proteins and inorganic structures, can be observed in non-chiral artificial media. Intriguingly, our metamaterial structure yields exceptionally strong resonant optical activity, which also leads to the appearance of a backward wave, a characteristic sign of negative-index media.

We suggest an alternative approach to deconfine N =1 SU(N) supersymmetric gauge theory with a symmetric tensor, fundamentals, anti-fundamentals, and no superpotential. It is found that although the dual prescription derived by this new method of deconfinement is different from that by the original method, both dual prescriptions are connected by duality transformations. By deforming the theory, it is shown that both dual theories flow properly so that the Seiberg's duality is preserved.

By abstracting over well-known properties of De Bruijn's representation with nameless dummies, we design a new theory of syntax with variable binding and capture-avoiding substitution. We propose it as a simpler alternative to Fiore, Plotkin, and Turi's approach, with which we establish a strong formal link. We also show that our theory easily incorporates simple types and equations between terms.

This paper initiates a series of works dedicated to the rigorous study of the precise structure of gravitational radiation near infinity. We begin with a brief review of an argument due to Christodoulou [1] stating that Penrose's proposal of smooth conformal compactification of spacetime (or smooth null infinity) fails to accurately capture the structure of gravitational radiation emitted by $N$ infalling masses coming from past timelike infinity $i^-$. Modelling gravitational radiation by scalar radiation, we then take a first step towards a rigorous, fully general relativistic understanding of the non-smoothness of null infinity by constructing solutions to the spherically symmetric Einstein-Scalar field equations. Our constructions are motivated by Christodoulou's argument: They arise dynamically from polynomially decaying boundary data, $r\phi\sim t^{-1}$ as $t\to-\infty$, on a timelike hypersurface (to be thought of as the surface of a star) and the no incoming radiation condition, $r\partial_v\phi=0$, on past null infinity $\mathcal{I}^-$. We show that if the initial Hawking mass at $i^-$ is non-zero, then, in accordance with the non-smoothness of $\mathcal I^+$, $\partial_v(r\phi)$ satisfies the following asymptotic expansion near $\mathcal{I}^+$ for some constant $C\neq 0$: $\partial_v(r\phi)=Cr^{-3}\log r+\mathcal O(r^{-3})$. We also show that the same logarithmic terms appear in the linear theory, i.e. when considering the spherically symmetric linear wave equation on a fixed Schwarzschild background. As a corollary, we can apply our results to the scattering problem on Schwarzschild: Putting smooth, compactly supported scattering data for the wave equation on $\mathcal I^-$ and on $\mathcal H^-$, we find that the asymptotic expansion of $\partial_v(r\phi)$ near $\mathcal I^+$ generically contains logarithmic terms at second order, i.e. at order $r^{-4}\log r$.
