Survey on geometric group theory
This article is a survey article on geometric group theory from the point of view of a non-expert who likes geometric group theory and uses it in his own research. The sections are: classical examples, basics about quasiisometry,properties and invariants of groups invariant under quasiisometry, rigidity, hyperbolic spa...

Convexity in semi-algebraic geometry and polynomial optimization
We review several (and provide new) results on the theory of moments, sums of squares and basic semi-algebraic sets when convexity is present. In particular, we show that under convexity, the hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations for polynomial optimization simplifies and has finite convergence, a highly desirable feat...

Round Trip Time Prediction Using the Symbolic Function Network Approach
In this paper, we develop a novel approach to model the Internet round trip time using a recently proposed symbolic type neural network model called symbolic function network. The developed predictor is shown to have good generalization performance and simple representation compared to the multilayer perceptron based p...

This paper studies the information-theoretic limits of a secondary or cognitive radio (CR) network under spectrum sharing with an existing primary radio network. In particular, the fading cognitive multiple-access channel (C-MAC) is first studied, where multiple secondary users transmit to the secondary base station (B...

Sparse Online Learning via Truncated Gradient
We propose a general method called truncated gradient to induce sparsity in the weights of online learning algorithms with convex loss functions. This method has several essential properties: The degree of sparsity is continuous -- a parameter controls the rate of sparsification from no sparsification to total sparsifi...

Malleable Coding: Compressed Palimpsests
A malleable coding scheme considers not only compression efficiency but also the ease of alteration, thus encouraging some form of recycling of an old compressed version in the formation of a new one. Malleability cost is the difficulty of synchronizing compressed versions, and malleable codes are of particular interes...

Lower bounds on dissipation upon coarse graining
By different coarse-graining procedures we derive lower bounds on the total mean work dissipated in Brownian systems driven out of equilibrium. With several analytically solvable examples we illustrate how, when, and where the information on the dissipation is captured.

Observation of the bottomonium ground state in the decay Upsilon(3S) -> gamma eta_b
We report the results of a search for the bottomonium ground state eta_b(1S) in the photon energy spectrum with a sample of (109 +/- 1) million of Upsilon(3S) recorded at the Upsilon(3S) energy with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B factory at SLAC. We observe a peak in the photon energy spectrum at E_gamma = 921.2 {+...

Comments on string theory backgrounds with non-relativistic conformal symmetry
We consider non-relativistic conformal quantum mechanical theories that arise by doing discrete light cone quantization of field theories. If the field theory has a gravity dual, then the conformal quantum mechanical theory can have a gravity dual description in a suitable finite temperature and finite density regime. ...

SDSS J142625.71+575218.3: The First Pulsating White Dwarf with a Large Detectable Magnetic Field
We report the discovery of a strong magnetic field in the unique pulsating carbon-atmosphere white dwarf SDSS J142625.71+575218.3. From spectra gathered at the MMT and Keck telescopes, we infer a surface field of B_s ~1.2 MG, based on obvious Zeeman components seen in several carbon lines. We also detect the presence o...

Matrix random products with singular harmonic measure
Any Zariski dense countable subgroup of $SL(d,R)$ is shown to carry a non-degenerate finitely supported symmetric random walk such that its harmonic measure on the flag space is singular. The main ingredients of the proof are: (1) a new upper estimate for the Hausdorff dimension of the projections of the harmonic measu...

Discrete time nonlinear filters with informative observations are stable
The nonlinear filter associated with the discrete time signal-observation model $(X_k,Y_k)$ is known to forget its initial condition as $k\to\infty$ regardless of the observation structure when the signal possesses sufficiently strong ergodic properties. Conversely, it stands to reason that if the observations are suff...

We revisit the formulation of the principle of minimal flavor violation (MFV) in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, both at moderate and large tan(beta), and with or without new CP-violating phases. We introduce a counting rule which keeps track of the highly hierarchical structure of the Yukaw...

Environment-Assisted Quantum Transport
Transport phenomena at the nanoscale are of interest due to the presence of both quantum and classical behavior. In this work, we demonstrate that quantum transport efficiency can be enhanced by a dynamical interplay of the system Hamiltonian with pure dephasing induced by a fluctuating environment. This is in contrast...

In the special case where A is classical, this overlap corresponds to the probability of guessi...
