Supersolidity in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), which is the coexistence of crystalline density modulation and global phase coherence, emerges from the interplay of contact interactions, long-range dipole-dipole forces, and…
The polarization constant of a Banach space $X$ is defined as $$\mathbf c(X):= \limsup\limits_{k\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf c(k, X)^\frac{1}{k},$$ where $\mathbf c(k, X)$ stands for the best constant $C>0$ such that $ \Vert…
Let $W$ be a channel where the input alphabet is endowed with an Abelian group operation, and let $(W_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be Ar{\i}kan's channel-valued polarization process that is obtained from $W$ using this operation. We prove that the process…
This paper investigates the scaling exponent of polar codes for binary-input energy-harvesting (EH) channels with infinite-capacity batteries. The EH process is characterized by a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with finite variances.…
The lack of power anomaly is an intriguing feature at the largest angular scales of the CMB anisotropy temperature pattern, whose statistical significance is not strong enough to claim any new physics beyond the standard cosmological model.…
The new generation of CMB polarization experiments will reach limits of sensitivity never achieved before to detect the primordial B-mode signal. However, all these efforts will be futile if we lack a tight control of systematics. Here, we…
In this paper, we study the symmetry of polar codes on symmetric binary-input discrete memoryless channels (B-DMC). The symmetry property of polar codes is originally pointed out in Arikan's work for general B-DMC channels. With the…
Both marginal and dependence features must be described when modelling the extremes of a stationary time series. There are standard approaches to marginal modelling, but long- and short-range dependence of extremes may both appear. In…
We consider the $2^n$ channels synthesized by the $n$-fold application of Ar\i{}kan's polar transform to a binary erasure channel (BEC). The synthetic channels are BECs themselves, and we show that, asymptotically for almost all these…
Let $\bS=\{S_1,...,S_K\}$ be a finite set of complex $d\times d$ matrices and $\varSigma_{K}^+$ the compact space of all one-sided infinite sequences $i_{\bcdot}\colon\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\{1,...,K\}$. An ergodic probability $\mu_*$ of the…
Extreme-value theory for random vectors and stochastic processes with continuous trajectories is usually formulated for random objects all of whose univariate marginal distributions are identical. In the spirit of Sklar's theorem from…
Channel polarization, originally proposed for binary-input channels, is generalized to arbitrary discrete memoryless channels. Specifically, it is shown that when the input alphabet size is a prime number, a similar construction to that for…
We show that, under achievable experimental conditions, a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of polar molecules can exhibit dielectric character. In particular, we derive a set of self-consistent mean-field equations that couple the condensate…
Extremal functions are exhibited in Poincar\'e trace inequalities for functions of bounded variation in the unit ball ${\mathbb B}^n$ of the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^n$. Trial functions are subject to either a vanishing…
