The weighted Delannoy numbers are defined by the recurrence relation $f_{m,n}=\alpha f_{m-1,n}+ \beta f_{m,n-1}+ \gamma f_{m-1,n-1}$ if $m n>0 $, with $f_{m,n}=\alpha^m \beta^n$ if $n m=0$. In this work, we study a generalization of these…
Experiments reveal that the superconductors $\text{UPt}_3$, $\text{U}_{1-x}\text{Th}_x\text{Be}_{13}$ and $\text{PrOs}_4\text{Sb}_{12}$ undergo two superconducting transitions in the absence of an applied magnetic field. The prevalence of…
We consider the thermodynamic behavior of local fluctuations occurring in a stable or metastable bulk phase. For a system with three or more phases, a simple analysis based on classical nucleation theory predicts that small fluctuations…
The traditional Fermi function ansatz for nuclear beta decay describes enhanced perturbative effects in the limit of large nuclear charge $Z$ and/or small electron velocity $\beta$. We define and compute the quantum field theory object that…
A nondecreasing sequence of positive integers is $(\alpha,\beta)$-Conolly, or Conolly-like for short, if for every positive integer $m$ the number of times that $m$ occurs in the sequence is $\alpha + \beta r_m$, where $r_m$ is $1$ plus the…
The dynamics of initial long-wavelength excitations of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou chain has been the subject of intense investigations since the pioneering work of Fermi and collaborators. We have recently found a new regime where the…
We study the out-of-equilibrium spinodal-like dynamics of three-dimensional $q$-state Potts systems driven across their thermal first-order transition in the thermodynamic limit, by a relaxational (heat-bath) dynamics. During the evolution,…
Policy evaluation in reinforcement learning is often conducted using two-timescale stochastic approximation, which results in various gradient temporal difference methods such as GTD(0), GTD2, and TDC. Here, we provide convergence rate…
Let $n\geq 3$, $0< m<\frac{n-2}{n}$ and $T>0$. We construct positive solutions to the fast diffusion equation $u_t=\Delta u^m$ in $\mathbb{R}^n\times(0,T)$, which vanish at time $T$. By introducing a scaling parameter $\beta$ inspired by…
We investigate the connection between local and global dynamics in the Fermi -- Pasta -- Ulam (FPU) $\beta$ -- model from the point of view of stability of its simplest periodic orbits (SPOs). In particular, we show that there is a…
We study large deviations for the renormalized self-intersection local time of d-dimensional stable processes of index \beta \in (2d/3,d]. We find a difference between the upper and lower tail. In addition, we find that the behavior of the…
The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $\alpha$-model of harmonic oscillators with cubic anharmonic interactions is studied from a statistical mechanical point of view. Systems of N= 32 to 128 oscillators appear to be large enough to suggest statistical…
We study the effect of resetting on diffusion in a logarithmic potential. In this model, a particle diffusing in a potential $U(x) = U_0\log|x|$ is reset, i.e., taken back to its initial position, with a constant rate $r$. We show that this…
The purpose of this article is to study the eigenvalues $u_1^{\, t}=e^{it\theta_1},\dots,u_N^{\,t}=e^{it\theta_N}$ of $U^t$ where $U$ is a large $N\times N$ random unitary matrix and $t>0$. In particular we are interested in the typical…
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we investigate the shifted moments of the zeta function \[ M_{\alpha,{\beta}}(T) = \int_T^{2T} \prod_{k = 1}^m |\zeta(\tfrac{1}{2} + i (t + \alpha_k))|^{2 \beta_k} dt \] introduced by Chandee, where…
We compute the beta-function and the anomalous dimension of all the non-derivative operators of the theory up to three-loops for the most general nearest-neighbour O(N)-invariant action together with some contributions to the four-loop…
We revisit the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou lattice (FPUT) with quadratic and cubic nonlinear interactions in the continuous limit by deducing the Gardner equation. Through the Hirota bilinear method, multi-soliton solutions are obtained for…
How long does it take a quantum particle to return to its origin? As shown previously under repeated projective measurements aimed to detect the return, the closed cycle yields a geometrical phase which shows that the average first detected…
Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Fibonacci sequence given by $F_{n+2}=F_{n+1}+F_n$, for $n\geq 0$, where $F_0=0$ and $F_1=1$. There are several interesting identities involving this sequence such as $F_n^2+F_{n+1}^2=F_{2n+1}$, for all $n\geq…
Performing $n$ steps of $\beta$-reduction to a given term in the $\lambda$-calculus can lead to an increase in the size of the resulting term that is exponential in $n$. The same is true for the possible depth increase of terms along a…
