We study orthogonality relations for Fourier frequencies and complex exponentials in Hilbert spaces $L^2(\mu)$ with measures $\mu$ arising from iterated function systems (IFS). This includes equilibrium measures in complex dynamics.…
Fractons are anyons classified into equivalence classes and they obey a specific fractal statistics. The equivalence classes are labeled by a fractal parameter or Hausdorff dimension $h$. We consider this approach in the context of the…
Voxel-based analysis methods localize brain structural differences by performing voxel-wise statistical comparisons on two groups of images aligned to a common space. This procedure requires highly accurate registration as well as a…
We obtain bounds for probabilities of deviations of the truncated variation functional of fractional Brownian motions (fBm) of any Hurst index $H \in (0,1)$ from their expected values. Obtained bounds are optimal for large values of…
Binary mixtures of hard-spheres with different diameters and square-well attraction between different particles are studied by theory and Monte Carlo simulations. In our mesoscopic theory, local fluctuations of the volume fraction of the…
Submodular and fractionally subadditive (or equivalently XOS) functions play a fundamental role in combinatorial optimization, algorithmic game theory and machine learning. Motivated by learnability of these classes of functions from random…
We investigate quantum fluctuations of metric components in coherent 1/2-BPS bound states of $n_1$ fundamental strings and $n_5$ NS5-branes. The leading order contribution in an expansion in $1/(n_1n_5)$ is calculated via a combination of…
The reliability of the approximations commonly adopted in the calculation of static optical (hyper)polarizabilities is tested against exact results obtained for an interesting toy-model. The model accounts for the principal features of…
We consider the problem of deciding whether an $n$-qubit unitary (or $n$-bit Boolean function) is $\varepsilon_1$-close to some $k$-junta or $\varepsilon_2$-far from every $k$-junta, where $k$-junta unitaries act non-trivially on at most…
New fragmentation functions (FFs) are extracted from a NLO QCD fit to the preliminary COMPASS data on pion and kaon multiplicities. It is shown that the new kaon FFs are very different from those of De Florian at al. (DSS) and Hirai et al.…
We give an adaptive algorithm which tests whether an unknown Boolean function $f\colon \{0, 1\}^n \to\{0, 1\}$ is unate, i.e. every variable of $f$ is either non-decreasing or non-increasing, or $\epsilon$-far from unate with one-sided…
A function $f$ from an Abelian group $(A,+)$ to an Abelian group $(B,+)$ is $(n, m, S)$ zero-difference (ZD), if $S=\{\lambda_\alpha \mid \alpha \in A\setminus\{0\}\}$ where $n=|A|$, $m=|f(A)|$ and $\lambda_\alpha=|\{x \in A \mid…
We show that conformal blocks simplify greatly when there is a large difference between two of the scaling dimensions for external operators. In particular the spacetime dimension only appears in an overall constant which we determine via…
We uncover a striking connection between conformal blocks and fractional calculus. By employing a modified form of half-derivates, we derived explicitly the exact form of the three-dimensional conformal block, expressed as the product of…
We show that, for almost all N-variable Boolean functions f, at least N/4-O(\sqrt{N} log N) queries are required to compute f in quantum black-box model with bounded error.
The ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0 -> K*0 gamma and Bs0 -> phi gamma has been measured using 0.37 fb-1 of pp collisions at a centre of mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment. The value…
Minimum-bias fragment distributions (FDs) are calculated by folding a power-law parton energy spectrum with parametrized fragmentation functions (FFs) derived from $e^+$-$e^-$ and p-\=p collisions. Changes in FFs due to parton "energy loss"…
Frequency Selective Bolometers (FSBs) are a new type of detector for millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths that are transparent to all but a narrow range of frequencies as set by characteristics of the absorber itself. Therefore, stacks…
We address the problem of out-of-distribution (OOD) detection for the task of object detection. We show that residual convolutional layers with batch normalisation produce Sensitivity-Aware FEatures (SAFE) that are consistently powerful for…
After a brief discussion of the concepts of fractional exchange and fractional exclusion statistics, we report partly analytical and partly numerical results on thermodynamic properties of assemblies of particles obeying fractional…
