We analyze the convergence rate of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for minimizing the sum of two or more nonsmooth convex separable functions subject to linear constraints. Previous analysis of the ADMM typically…
The imposition of a constraint between the metric tensor elements in both three- and four-dimensional, rotating AdS space-times is shown to reduce the number of independent equations of motion and to result in new families of solutions to…
The paper \cite{Dance0601} tentatively suggested a physical picture that might underlie string theories. The string parameters $\tau $ and $\sigma_i $ were interpreted as spacetime dimensions which a simple quantum mechanical observer can…
We present a permutation-invariant distance between atomic configurations, defined through a functional representation of atomic positions. This distance enables to directly compare different atomic environments with an arbitrary number of…
This work considers the problem of estimating the distance between two covariance matrices directly from the data. Particularly, we are interested in the family of distances that can be expressed as sums of traces of functions that are…
Similarity search is an important problem in information retrieval. This similarity is based on a distance. Symbolic representation of time series has attracted many researchers recently, since it reduces the dimensionality of these high…
The $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$ covariant generalized metric, postulated as a truly fundamental variable, can describe novel geometries where the notion of Riemannian metric ceases to exist. Here we quantize a closed string upon such backgrounds and…
AdS/QCD is an extra-dimensional approach to modeling hadronic physics, motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence in string theory. AdS/QCD models are often more accurate than would have been expected at energies below a few GeV. We address…
We construct new families of non-supersymmetric sourceless type IIA AdS4 vacua on those coset manifolds that also admit supersymmetric solutions. We investigate the spectrum of left-invariant modes and find that most, but not all, of the…
The string, MSSM GUT, weak and QCD scales, and the Rydberg constant, correspond to the positions of AdS domain wall intersections in a two-dimensional extra space of infinite extent. The domain walls lie along and parallel to the sides of…
Existing 3D mesh shape evaluation metrics mainly focus on the overall shape but are usually less sensitive to local details. This makes them inconsistent with human evaluation, as human perception cares about both overall and detailed…
A matrix quantum mechanics with potential $V={q^2 \over r^2}$ and an SL(2,R) conformal symmetry is conjectured to be dual to two-dimensional type 0A string theory on AdS$_2$ with $q$ units of RR flux.
We argue that supersymmetric higher-dimension operators in the effective actions of M-theory and IIB string theory do not affect the maximally supersymmetric vacua: $adS_4\times S^7$ and $adS_7\times S^4$ in M-theory and $adS_5\times S^5$…
The ability of the organism to distinguish between various stimuli is limited by the structure and noise in the population code of its sensory neurons. Here we infer a distance measure on the stimulus space directly from the recorded…
The non-linear nature of string theory on non-trivial backgrounds related to the AdS/CFT correspondence suggests to look for simplifications. Two such simplifications proved to be useful in studying string theory. These are the pp-wave…
We investigate codimension-one vacua arising from low energy effective actions inspired by string theory, with an eye to their consistency when localized sources are allowed in the equations of motion. We draw some inspiration from…
Let $T$ be a tree on $n$ vertices whose edge weights are positive definite matrices of order $s$. The squared distance matrix of $T$, denoted by $\Delta$, is the $ns \times ns$ block matrix with $\Delta_{ij}=d(i,j)^2$, where $d(i,j)$ is the…
The exact computation of the matching distance for multi-parameter persistence modules is an active area of research in computational topology. Achieving an easily obtainable exact computation of this distance would permit multi-parameter…
New AdS/QCD backgrounds have been proposed to describe the spectrum of heavy vector mesons via the implementation of additional energy scales on the bulk geometry of the soft wall model. The extra energy scales are needed to include the…
We obtain all homogeneous solutions of new massive gravity models on S^3 and AdS_3 by extending previously known results for the cosmological topologically massive theory of gravity in three dimensions. In all cases, apart from the…
