We discuss the phenomenological viability of string multi-Higgs doublet models, namely a scenario of heterotic $Z_3$ orbifolds with two Wilson lines, which naturally predicts three supersymmetric families of matter and Higgs fields. We…
In this note we will discuss a new reflection principle which follows from the Proper Forcing Axiom. The immediate purpose will be to prove that the bounded form of the Proper Forcing Axiom implies both that 2^omega = omega_2 and that…
We present the problem stated in intuitive language as problem 2 at the 52nd International Mathematical Olympiad as a formal statement, and prove that it is valid in ordered regular incidence planes, the weakest ordered geometry whose…
Building on previous work of [BPS] we investigate $\sigma$-closed partial orders of size continuum. We provide both an internal and external characterization of such partial orders by showing that (1) every $\sigma$-closed partial order of…
For any bounded convex domain $\Omega$ with $C^{2}$ boundary in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$, we show that there exist positive constants $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ such that \[ C_{1}\sqrt{\dfrac{K\left(w,w\right)}{\delta\left(w\right)}}\leq\left\Vert…
We propose a novel algorithm for optimizing multivariate linear threshold functions as split functions of decision trees to create improved Random Forest classifiers. Standard tree induction methods resort to sampling and exhaustive search…
We study the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue $\lambda_2(T,\delta\Omega)$ of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on a finite tree $T$ with leaf boundary $\delta\Omega$, under a constraint on the diameter $D$. He and Hua [Calc. Var. PDE, 2022]…
We introduce a new class of billiard systems in the plane, with boundaries formed by finitely many arcs of confocal conics such that they contain some reflex angles. Fundamental dynamical, topological, geometric, and arithmetic properties…
New physics contributions to the $Z$ penguin are revisited in the light of the recently-reported discrepancy of the direct CP violation in $K\to\pi\pi$. Interference effects between the standard model and new physics contributions to…
We study two-stage robust optimization problems with mixed discrete-continuous decisions in both stages. Despite their broad range of applications, these problems pose two fundamental challenges: (i) they constitute infinite-dimensional…
We re-examine the question of measuring the weak phase gamma in B -> K pi pi decays. To this end, we express all B -> K pi pi amplitudes in terms of diagrams. We show that, as in B -> K pi, there exist relations between certain tree and…
We prove that certain modules are faithful. This enables us to draw consequences about the reduction number and the integral closure of some classes of ideals.
The transformation properties of strong penguin operators under the action of the flavor group change when they are considered as operators in (partially) quenched QCD instead of the unquenched theory. As a result, additional operators and…
We prove the Strong Nine Dragon Tree Conjecture is true if we replace the edge bound with $d + \big\lceil k \big\lfloor\frac{d-1}{k+1}\big\rfloor \big(\frac{d}{k+1} - \frac{1}{2} \big\lceil\frac{d}{k+1}\big\rceil \big)\big\rceil \leq d +…
A little over 25 years ago Pemantle pioneered the study of the contact process on trees, and showed that on homogeneous trees the critical values $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ for global and local survival were different. He also considered…
By making use of arithmetic information inequalities, we give a strong quantitative bound for the discretised ring theorem. In particular, we show that if $A \subset [1,2]$ is a $(\delta,\sigma)$-set, with $|A| = \delta^{-\sigma},$ then…
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain. For any $\epsilon\in (0,1)$ we show that for any Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_k(\Omega)>\Lambda(\epsilon,\Omega)$, it holds \begin{align*} k&\le…
This paper considers the higher derivative terms in the effective action of type II string theory and in particular the behaviour of the automorphic forms they contain in all the different possible limits of the string parameters. The…
Recently, 2-protected nodes were studied in the context of ordered trees and $k$-trees. These nodes have a distance of at least 2 to each leaf. Here, we study digital search trees, which are binary trees, but with a different probability…
Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group of finite virtual cohomological dimension with certain finiteness conditions of the type satisfied by arithmetic groups. We define a representation ring for $\Gamma$, determined on its elements of finite…
