\section{Introduction} Simple and productive methods to investigate dynamical features of solids and molecules are offered by Time-dependent Density-functional Theory (TDDFT) \cite{GM12}. TDDFT embodies many concepts and formal exact results, but its core is the 1-1 correspondence \cite{RG84} between time-dependent ...

\section{Introduction\label{secIntro}} Meander curves in the plane emerge as shooting curves of parabolic PDEs in one space dimension \cite{FiedlerRocha1999-SturmPermutations}, as trajectories of Cartesian billiards \cite{FiedlerCastaneda2012-Meander}, and as representations of elements of Temperley-Lieb algebras \c...

\section{Introduction} Fault tolerance is becoming a key issue that will define success or failure of future programmable quantum computers. Certain quasiparticles, called non-abelian anyons, provide a framework for coherent encoding of quantum information that will require little or no error correction. Our primary ...

\section{Introduction} Consider a quantum field theory in the presence of quenched disorder, that is, spatially random couplings. As with simpler spatially uniform couplings, the effects of quenched disorder can be relevant or irrelevant \cite{harris, sachdev}. When relevant, the disorder can drive the quantum theory...

\section{Introduction} \label{s:intro} Over the last $\sim$\,half a dozen years, deep colour-magitude diagrams (CMDs) from images taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) revealed that several intermediate-age ($\sim$\,1\,--\,2 Gyr old...

\section{Introduction} Recent years have seen progress in the understanding of the fundamental notions of computation. Classical algorithms were axiomatized by Gurevich~\cite{ASM-Theorem-Gurevich}, who also showed that a simple, generic model of computation, called \emph{abstract state machines (ASMs)}, suffices to e...

\section{Introduction} The method of least squares linear regression (straight line fitting) has a very long history: it was invented in its simplest form by C.F.~Gau\ss, but is still one of the most widespread and powerful approaches in data analysis. It may be used as a stand-alone tool to detect linear trends...

\section{Introduction} Gravitational waves (GWs) promise a new and exciting window to the cosmos. Two ground-based interferometer experiments, LIGO and VIRGO, are about to restart operations with greatly increased sensitivity \cite{Harry:2010zz,Accadia:2009zz}, and will be joined in a few years by KAGRA \cite{Somiya:...

\section{Introduction} \label{section:introduction} X-ray binaries (XRBs) are systems in which a compact object such as a black hole (BH) or neutron star (NS) accretes material from a secondary star. This material is believed to form an accretion disk surrounding the compact object, producing intense X-ray radiation v...

\section{Introduction: weighted Hurwitz numbers } A new method for constructing parametric families of 2D Toda $\tau$-functions \cite{Ta, Takeb, UTa} of hypergeometric type \cite{OrS} that serve as generating functions for various types of weighted Hurwitz numbers was developed in \cite{GH1, GH2, H1, H2, HO2}.

\section*{Introduction} Over the past few decades the particle production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions has been successfully described by statistical hadronization models which postulate a chemical freeze-out surface common to all hadronic species.

\section*{Introduction} Since at least \citet{Merton-1971}, many results on portfolio optimization problems have been obtained in a continuous time framework.

\section{Introduction}\label{s:intro} In this paper we investigate 3--braid knots of finite concordance order. We work in the smooth category, therefore the words `slice' and `concordance' will always mean, respectively, `smoothly slice' and `smooth concordance'. The {\em reverse} of an oriented knot will be denot...

\section{Introduction} \label{sec:intro} Dark matter (DM) is estimated to account for about 23\% of the total mass of the universe, and to be five times more abundant than the known baryonic matter. While the existence of DM is inferred from astrophysical observations, there is very little information about its natu...

For any vertex $v\in V(G)$, $d(v)$ denotes the degree of $v$, $N(v)$ denotes the set of neighbors of $v$, and $N[v]$ denotes the closed neighborhood, i.e. $N[v]:=N(v)\cup \{v\}$.
