Markov Chain Monte Carlo Estimation of Quantum States
We apply a Bayesian data analysis scheme known as the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to the tomographic reconstruction of quantum states. This method yields a vector, known as the Markov chain, which contains the full statistical information concerning all reconstruction parameters including their statistical correlat...

Fast radiation mediated shocks and supernova shock breakouts
We present a simple analytic model for the structure of non-relativistic and relativistic radiation mediated shocks. At shock velocities \beta_s\equiv v_s/c\gtrsim 0.1, the shock transition region is far from thermal equilibrium, since the transition crossing time is too short for the production of a black-body photon ...

Geometric ergodicity of a bead-spring pair with stochastic Stokes forcing
We consider a simple model for the fluctuating hydrodynamics of a flexible polymer in dilute solution, demonstrating geometric ergodicity for a pair of particles that interact with each other through a nonlinear spring potential while being advected by a stochastic Stokes fluid velocity field. This is a generalization ...

Weak Landau-Ginzburg models for smooth Fano threefolds

We prove that Landau-Ginzburg models for all 17 smooth Fano threefolds with Picard rank 1 can be represented as Laurent polynomials in 3 variables exhibiting them case by case. We check that these Landau-Ginzburg models can be compactified to open Calabi-Yau variet...

Analysis of a threshold model of social contagion on degree-correlated networks
We analytically determine when a range of abstract social contagion models permit global spreading from a single seed on degree-correlated random networks. We deduce the expected size of the largest vulnerable component, a network's tinderbox-like critical mass, as well as the probability that infecting a randomly chos...

Reformulating Global Grammar Constraints
An attractive mechanism to specify global constraints in rostering and other domains is via formal languages. For instance, the Regular and Grammar constraints specify constraints in terms of the languages accepted by an automaton and a context-free grammar respectively. Taking advantage of the fixed length of the cons...

Compressive Sensing Using Low Density Frames
We consider the compressive sensing of a sparse or compressible signal ${\bf x} \in {\mathbb R}^M$. We explicitly construct a class of measurement matrices, referred to as the low density frames, and develop decoding algorithms that produce an accurate estimate $\hat{\bf x}$ even in the presence of additive noise.

Sudoku is always considered as Satisfiability Problem or Constraint Satisfaction Problem. In this paper, we propose to focus on the essential graph structure underlying the Sudoku puz...

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Amorphous Materials III: Shear-Transformation-Zone Plasticity
We use the internal-variable, effective-temperature thermodynamics developed in two preceding papers to reformulate the shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of amorphous plasticity. As required by the preceding analysis, we make explicit approximations for the energy and entropy of the STZ internal degrees of freedom...

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Amorphous Materials II: Effective-Temperature Theory
We develop a theory of the effective disorder temperature in glass-forming materials driven away from thermodynamic equilibrium by external forces. Our basic premise is that the slow configurational degrees of freedom of such materials are weakly coupled to the fast kinetic/vibrational degrees of freedom, and therefore...

The empirical properties of large covariance matrices
The salient properties of large empirical covariance and correlation matrices are studied for three datasets of size 54, 55 and 330. The covariance is defined as a simple cross product of the returns, with weights that decay logarithmically slowly. The key general properties of the covariance matrices are the following...

Dynamics and entanglement in spherically symmetric quantum gravity
The gravity-scalar field system in spherical symmetry provides a natural setting for exploring gravitational collapse and its aftermath in quantum gravity. In a canonical approach, we give constructions of the Hamiltonian operator, and of semiclassical states peaked on constraint free data. Such states provide explicit...

This tiling is close to ideal, displaying long range correlations punctuated by sparse localised tiling defects. In this paper...
