Critical noncolorings of the 600-cell proving the Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem
Aravind and Lee-Elkin (1997) gave a proof of the Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem by showing that it is impossible to color the 60 directions from the center of a 600-cell to its vertices in a certain way. This paper refines that result by showing that the 60 directions contain many subsets of 36 and 30 directions that cann...

Bayesian power-spectrum inference for Large Scale Structure data

Destabilizing Taylor-Couette flow with suction
We consider the effect of radial fluid injection and suction on Taylor-Couette flow. Injection at the outer cylinder and suction at the inner cylinder generally results in a linearly unstable steady spiralling flow, even for cylindrical shears that are linearly stable in the absence of a radial flux. We study nonlinear...

Bounded Independence Fools Degree-2 Threshold Functions
Let x be a random vector coming from any k-wise independent distribution over {-1,1}^n. For an n-variate degree-2 polynomial p, we prove that E[sgn(p(x))] is determined up to an additive epsilon for k = poly(1/epsilon). This answers an open question of Diakonikolas et al. (FOCS 2009). Using standard constructions of k-...

Anisotropy of Earth's D" layer and stacking faults in the MgSiO3 post-perovskite phase
The post-perovskite phase of (Mg,Fe)SiO3 is believed to be the main mineral phase of the Earth's lowermost mantle (the D" layer). Its properties explain numerous geophysical observations associated with this layer - for example, the D'' discontinuity, its topography and seismic anisotropy within the layer. Here we use ...

An alternative approach to determining average distance in a class of scale-free modular networks

By virtue of the recursive relations derived from the self-similar structure of the networks, we compute rigorous...

Towards a Dichotomy for the Possible Winner Problem in Elections Based on Scoring Rules
To make a joint decision, agents (or voters) are often required to provide their preferences as linear orders. To determine a winner, the given linear orders can be aggregated according to a voting protocol. However, in realistic settings, the voters may often only provide partial orders. This directly leads to the Pos...

In this work we study the Hilbert space space of N-valent SU(2) intertwiners with fixed total spin, which can be identified, at the classical level, with a space of convex polyhedra with N face and fixed total boundary area. We show that this Hilbert space provides, quite remarkably, an irreducible representation of th...

Quantum corrections to N=2 Chern-Simons theories with flavor and their AdS4 duals
We add fundamental flavors to N=2 Chern-Simons-matter theories living on M2 branes probing a Calabi-Yau four-fold singularity. This is dual, in the 't Hooft limit described by IIA string theory, to the introduction of supersymmetric D6 branes wrapping AdS4 and a 3-cycle of the internal manifold. The resulting Chern-Sim...

Circuit Lower Bounds, Help Functions, and the Remote Point Problem
We investigate the power of Algebraic Branching Programs (ABPs) augmented with help polynomials, and constant-depth Boolean circuits augmented with help functions. We relate the problem of proving explicit lower bounds in both these models to the Remote Point Problem (introduced by Alon, Panigrahy, and Yekhanin (RANDOM...

A Geometric Theory of Growth Mechanics

Time dependence of metric represents the evolution of the stress-free (natural) configuration of the body in response to changes in mass density and "shape". We show t...

These transitions are due to large N instanton effects, and they can be regarded as a deformation of the...
