Radiative heat transfer between metallic nanoparticles
In this letter, we study the radiative heat transfer between two nanoparticles in the near field and in the far field. We find that the heat transfer is dominated by the electric dipole-dipole interaction for dielectric particles and by the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction for metallic nanoparticles. We introduce pol...

Condensation of Classical Nonlinear Waves in a Two-Component System
We study the formation of large-scale coherent structures (a condensate) for a system of two weakly interacting classical waves. Using the coupled defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equations as a representative model, we focus on condensation in the phase mixing regime. We employ weak turbulence theory to provid...

Faster Approximate Lossy Generalized Flow via Interior Point Algorithms
We present faster approximation algorithms for generalized network flow problems. A generalized flow is one in which the flow out of an edge differs from the flow into the edge by a constant factor. We limit ourselves to the lossy case, when these factors are at most 1. Our algorithm uses a standard interior-point algo...

Untangling planar graphs from a specified vertex position - Hard cases
Given a planar graph $G$, we consider drawings of $G$ in the plane where edges are represented by straight line segments (which possibly intersect). Such a drawing is specified by an injective embedding $\pi$ of the vertex set of $G$ into the plane. We prove that a wheel graph $W_n$ admits a drawing $\pi$ such that, if...

Compressed Sensing with Cross Validation
Compressed Sensing decoding algorithms can efficiently recover an N dimensional real-valued vector x to within a factor of its best k-term approximation by taking m = 2klog(N/k) measurements y = Phi x. If the sparsity or approximate sparsity level of x were known, then this theoretical guarantee would imply quality ass...

Deconvolution of confocal microscopy images using proximal iteration and sparse representations
We propose a deconvolution algorithm for images blurred and degraded by a Poisson noise. The algorithm uses a fast proximal backward-forward splitting iteration. This iteration minimizes an energy which combines a \textit{non-linear} data fidelity term, adapted to Poisson noise, and a non-smooth sparsity-promoting regu...

Neutralino relic density from ILC measurements in the CPV MSSM
We discuss ILC measurements for a specific MSSM scenario with CP phases, where the lightest neutralino is a good candidate for dark matter, annihilating efficiently through t-channel exchange of light staus. These prospective (CP-even) ILC measurements are then used to fit the underlying model parameters. A collider pr...

Local resolution-limit-free Potts model for community detection
We report on an exceptionally accurate spin-glass-type Potts model for community detection. With a simple algorithm, we find that our approach is at least as accurate as the best currently available algorithms and robust to the effects of noise. It is also competitive with the best currently available algorithms in ter...

SDSS J142625.71+575218.3, a Prototype for a New Class of Variable White Dwarf
We present the results of a search for pulsations in six of the recently discovered carbon-atmosphere white dwarf ("hot DQ") stars. Based on our theoretical calculations, the star SDSS J142625.71+575218.3 is the only object expected to pulsate. We observe this star to be variable, with significant power at 417.7 s and ...

Toward a halo mass function for precision cosmology: the limits of universality
We measure the mass function of dark matter halos in a large set of collisionless cosmological simulations of flat LCDM cosmology and investigate its evolution at z<~2. Halos are identified as isolated density peaks, and their masses are measured within a series of radii enclosing specific overdensities. We argue that ...

Using a statistical mechanics approach we study the space of codewords and the entropy in the various decoding regimes. We further discuss the relation of the convergence of the message passing...

Cyclic p-roots of prime lengths p and related complex Hadamard matrices
In this paper it is proved, that for every prime number p, the set of cyclic p-roots in C^p is finite. Moreover the number of cyclic p-roots counted with multiplicity is equal to (2p-2)!/(p-1)!^2. In particular, the number of complex circulant Hadamard matrices of size p, with diagonal entries equal to 1, is less or eq...

We show how to map a given n-qubit target Hamiltonian with bounded-strength k-body interactions onto a simulator Hamiltonian with two-body interactions, such that the ground-state energy of the target and the simulator Hamiltonians are the same up to an extensive error O(epsilon n) for arbitrary small epsilon.

Inflation with Non-Minimal Coupling: Metric vs. Palatini Formulations
We analyze non-minimally coupled scalar field theories in metric (second-order) and Palatini (first-order) formalisms in a comparative fashion. After contrasting them in a general setup, we specialize to inflation and find that the two formalisms differ in their predictions for various cosmological parameters. The main...

We obtain sharp PAC-Bayesian risk bounds for aggregates defined via exponential weights, under general assumptions on the distribution of errors and on the functions to aggregate. We then apply these results...

In this sense, the D-instanton induced non-perturbative superpot...

Extensions of smoothing via taut strings
Suppose that we observe independent random pairs $(X_1,Y_1)$, $(X_2,Y_2)$, >..., $(X_n,Y_n)$. Our goal is to estimate regression functions such as the conditional mean or $\beta$--quantile of $Y$ given $X$, where $0<\beta <1$. In order to achieve this we minimize criteria such as, for instance, $$ \sum_{i=1}^n \rho(f(X...
