Interaction Between a Domain Wall and Spin Supercurrent in Easy-cone Magnets
A domain wall and spin supercurrent can coexist in magnets with easy-cone anisotropy owing to simultaneous spontaneous breaking of Z$_2$ and U(1) symmetries. Their interaction is theoretically investigated in quasi one-dimensional ferromagnets within the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert phenomenology. Specifically, we show that...

A Local Inverse Formula and a Factorization
When a matrix has a banded inverse there is a remarkable formula that quickly computes that inverse, using only local information in the original matrix. This local inverse formula holds more generally, for matrices with sparsity patterns that are examples of chordal graphs or perfect eliminators. The formula has a lon...

Magnonic analog of relativistic Zitterbewegung in an antiferromagnetic spin chain
We theoretically investigate the spin wave (magnon) excitations in a classical antiferromagnetic spin chain with easy-axis anisotropy. We obtain a Dirac-like equation by linearizing the Landau- Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in this antiferromagnetic system, in contrast to the ferromagnetic system in which a Schr\"{o}dinger...

The norm of the Fourier transform on compact or discrete abelian groups
We calculate the norm of the Fourier operator from $L^p(X)$ to $L^q(\hat{X})$ when $X$ is an infinite locally compact abelian group that is, furthermore, compact or discrete. This subsumes the sharp Hausdorff-Young inequality on such groups. In particular, we identify the region in $(p,q)$-space where the norm is infin...

Optimizing Quantiles in Preference-based Markov Decision Processes
In the Markov decision process model, policies are usually evaluated by expected cumulative rewards. As this decision criterion is not always suitable, we propose in this paper an algorithm for computing a policy optimal for the quantile criterion. Both finite and infinite horizons are considered. Finally we experiment...

Magnon Condensation and Spin Superfluidity
We consider the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation of quasi-equilibrium magnons which leads to a spin superfluidity, the coherent quantum transfer of magnetization in magnetic materials. These phenomena are beyond the classical Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert paradigm. The critical conditions for excited magnon density f...

Nanostructured Ceramic Oxides with a Slow Crack Growth Resistance Close to Covalent Materials
Oxide ceramics are sensitive to slow crack growth because adsorption of water can take place at the crack tip, leading to a strong decrease of the surface energy in humid (or air) conditions. This is a major drawback concerning demanding, long-term applications such as orthopaedic implants. Here we show that a specific...

Sphaleron rate from lattice QCD
We compute the sphaleron rate on the lattice from the inversion of the Euclidean time correlators of the topological charge density, performing also controlled continuum and zero-smoothing extrapolations. The correlator inversion is performed by means of a recently-proposed modification of the Backus-Gilbert method.

CA-PCA: Manifold Dimension Estimation, Adapted for Curvature
The success of algorithms in the analysis of high-dimensional data is often attributed to the manifold hypothesis, which supposes that this data lie on or near a manifold of much lower dimension. It is often useful to determine or estimate the dimension of this manifold before performing dimension reduction, for instan...

Sphaleron rate as an inverse problem: a novel lattice approach
We compute the sphaleron rate on the lattice. We adopt a novel strategy based on the extraction of the spectral density via a modified version of the Backus-Gilbert method from finite-lattice-spacing and finite-smoothing-radius Euclidean topological charge density correlators. The physical sphaleron rate is computed by...

Central limit theorem for the average closure coefficient
Many real-world networks exhibit the phenomenon of edge clustering, which is typically measured by the average clustering coefficient. Recently, an alternative measure, the average closure coefficient, is proposed to quantify local clustering. It is shown that the average closure coefficient possesses a number of usefu...

Expectations For an Interferometric Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Survey for Galaxy Clusters
Non-targeted surveys for galaxy clusters using the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) will yield valuable information on both cosmology and evolution of the intra-cluster medium (ICM). The redshift distribution of detected clusters will constrain cosmology, while the properties of the discovered clusters will be important...

The Reionization History at High Redshifts II: Estimating the Optical Depth to Thomson Scattering from CMB Polarization
In light of the recent inference of a high optical depth to Thomson scattering, tau, from the WMAP data we investigate the effects of extended periods of partial ionization and ask if the value of tau inferred by assuming a single sharp transition is an unbiased estimate. We construct and consider several representativ...

The Sunyaev-Zeldovich Background
The cosmic background due to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect is expected to be the largest signal at mm and cm wavelengths at a resolution of a few arcminutes. We investigate some simple statistics of SZ maps and their scaling with the normalization of the matter power spectrum, sigma_8, as well as the effects of the...

An Analytical Construction of the SRB Measures for Baker-type Maps
For a class of dynamical systems, called the axiom-A systems, Sinai, Ruelle and Bowen showed the existence of an invariant measure (SRB measure) weakly attracting the temporal average of any initial distribution that is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Recently, the SRB measures were found to...

Entropy Production : From Open Volume Preserving to Dissipative Systems
We generalize Gaspard's method for computing the \epsilon-entropy production rate in Hamiltonian systems to dissipative systems with attractors considered earlier by T\'el, Vollmer, and Breymann. This approach leads to a natural definition of a coarse grained Gibbs entropy which is extensive, and which can be expressed...

A priori bounds for co-dimension one isometric embeddings
We prove a priori bounds for the trace of the second fundamental form of a $C^4$ isometric embedding into $R^{n+1}$ of a metric $g$ of non-negative sectional curvature on $S^n$, in terms of the scalar curvature, and the diameter of $g$. These estimates give a bound on the extrinsic geometry in terms of intrinsic quanti...

Active and Passive Fields in Turbulent Transport: the Role of Statistically Preserved Structures
We have recently proposed that the statistics of active fields (which affect the velocity field itself) in well-developed turbulence are also dominated by the Statistically Preserved Structures of auxiliary passive fields which are advected by the same velocity field. The Statistically Preserved Structures are eigenmod...

Privacy Amplification in Quantum Key Distribution: Pointwise Bound versus Average Bound
In order to be practically useful, quantum cryptography must not only provide a guarantee of secrecy, but it must provide this guarantee with a useful, sufficiently large throughput value. The standard result of generalized privacy amplification yields an upper bound only on the average value of the mutual information ...

Approximate Sparse Recovery: Optimizing Time and Measurements
An approximate sparse recovery system consists of parameters $k,N$, an $m$-by-$N$ measurement matrix, $\Phi$, and a decoding algorithm, $\mathcal{D}$. Given a vector, $x$, the system approximates $x$ by $\widehat x =\mathcal{D}(\Phi x)$, which must satisfy $\| \widehat x - x\|_2\le C \|x - x_k\|_2$, where $x_k$ denotes...

Concatenated quantum codes can attain the quantum Gilbert-Varshamov bound
A family of quantum codes of increasing block length with positive rate is asymptotically good if the ratio of its distance to its block length approaches a positive constant. The asymptotic quantum Gilbert-Varshamov (GV) bound states that there exist $q$-ary quantum codes of sufficiently long block length $N$ having f...

Stable and unstable regimes in higher-dimensional convex billiards with cylindrical shape
We introduce a class of convex, higher-dimensional billiard models which generalise stadium billiards. These models correspond to the free motion of a point-particle in a region bounded by cylinders cut by planes. They are motivated by models of particles interacting via a string-type mechanism, and confined by hard wa...
