Title: Functional advantages offered by many-body coherences in biochemical systems, Abstract: Quantum coherence phenomena driven by electronic-vibrational (vibronic) interactions, are being reported in many pulse (e.g. laser) driven chemical and biophysical systems. But what systems-level advantage(s) do such many-bod...

Title: Idempotent ordered semigroup, Abstract: An element e of an ordered semigroup $(S,\cdot,\leq)$ is called an ordered idempotent if $e\leq e^2$. We call an ordered semigroup $S$ idempotent ordered semigroup if every element of $S$ is an ordered idempotent. Every idempotent semigroup is a complete semilattice of rec...

Title: Hybrid bounds for twists of $GL(3)$ $L$-functions, Abstract: Let $\pi$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ and $\chi=\chi_1\chi_2$ a Dirichlet character with $\chi_i$ primitive modulo $M_i$. Suppose that $M_1$, $M_2$ are primes such that $\max\{(M|t|)^{1/3+2\delta/3},M^{2/5}|t|^{-9/20}, M^{1/2+2\de...

Title: Modeling stochastic skew of FX options using SLV models with stochastic spot/vol correlation and correlated jumps, Abstract: It is known that the implied volatility skew of FX options demonstrates a stochastic behavior which is called stochastic skew. In this paper we create stochastic skew by assuming the spot/...

Title: Computational Study of Amplitude-to-Phase Conversion in a Modified Uni-Traveling Carrier (MUTC) Photodetector, Abstract: We calculate the amplitude-to-phase (AM-to-PM) noise conversion in a modified unitraveling carrier (MUTC) photodetector. We obtained two nulls as measured in the experiments, and we explain th...

Title: Direct frequency-comb spectroscopy of $6S_{1/2}$-$8S_{1/2}$ transitions of atomic cesium, Abstract: Direct frequency-comb spectroscopy is used to probe the absolute frequencies of $6S_{1/2}$-$8S_{1/2}$ two-photon transitions of atomic cesium in hot vapor environment. By utilizing the coherent control method of t...
