We study the time dependent potential energy $W(t)=U(x(0)) - U(x(t))$ of a particle diffusing in a one dimensional random force field (the Sinai model). Using the real space renormalization group method (RSRG), we obtain the exact large…
The B_s to mu+ mu- decay plays an outstanding role in tests of the Standard Model and physics beyond it. The LHCb collaboration has recently reported the first evidence for this decay at the 3.5 sigma level, with a branching ratio in the…
Let ${\cal T}=(T,w)$ be a weighted finite tree with leaves $1,..., n$.For any $I :=\{i_1,..., i_k \} \subset \{1,...,n\}$, let $D_I ({\cal T})$ be the weight of the minimal subtree of $T$ connecting $i_1,..., i_k$; the $D_{I} ({\cal T})$…
This work develops a nonlinear analogue of alternating projections on Hilbert space, based on iterating a weighted residual transformation that removes the portion of an operator detected by a projection after conjugation by its square…
In this paper we prove a functional limit theorem for the weighted profile of a $b$-ary tree. For the proof we use classical martingales connected to branching Markov processes and a generalized version of the profile-polynomial martingale.…
Network growth models that embody principles such as preferential attachment and local attachment rules have received much attention over the last decade. Among various approaches, random walks have been leveraged to capture such…
The weight space of the Ising perceptron in which a set of random patterns is stored is examined using the generating function of the partition function $\phi(n)=(1/N)\log [Z^n]$ as the dimension of the weight vector $N$ tends to infinity,…
The Ward numbers $W(n,k)$ combinatorially enumerate set partitions with block sizes $\geq 2$ and phylogenetic trees (total partition trees). We prove that $W(n,k)$ also counts \emph{increasing Schr\"oder trees} by verifying they satisfy…
We elaborate on anomaly induced actions of the Wess-Zumino (WZ) form and their relation to the renormalized effective action, which is defined by an ordinary path integral over a conformal sector, in an external gravitational background. In…
We demonstrate that the polarization fractions of most tree-dominated $B\to VV$ decays can be simply understood by means of kinematics in the heavy-quark or large-energy limit. For example, the longitudinal polarization fractions $R_L$ of…
Diffusion-driven instability is a fundamental mechanism underlying pattern formation in spatially extended systems. In almost all existing works, diffusion across the links of the underlying network is modeled through scalar weights,…
We consider the $2$-spin spherical Sherrington--Kirkpatrick model whose disorder is given by a deformed Wigner matrix of the form $W+\lambda V$, where $W$ is a Wigner matrix and $V$ is a random diagonal matrix with i.i.d. entries. Assuming…
We study the transition between phases at large $R$-charge on a conformal manifold. These phases are characterized by the behaviour of the lowest operator dimension $\Delta(Q_R)$ for fixed and large $R$-charge $Q_R$. We focus, as an…
This thesis examines linearly edge-reinforced random walks on infinite trees. In particular, recurrence and transience of such random walks on general (fixed) trees as well as on Galton-Watson trees (i.e. random trees) is characterized, and…
We report on determinations of |Vub| resulting from studies of the branching fraction and q^2 distributions in exclusive semileptonic B decays that proceed via the b->u transition. Our data set consists of the 9.7x10^6 BBbar meson pairs…
This paper investigates the a-posteriori analysis of Branch-and-Bound~(BB) trees to extract structural information about the feasible region of mixed-binary linear programs. We introduce three novel outer approximations of the feasible…
The Erd\H{o}s discrepancy problem, now a theorem by T. Tao, asks whether every sequence with values plus or minus one has unbounded discrepancy along all homogeneous arithmetic progressions. We establish weighted variants of this problem,…
We study bounded weighted shifts on directed trees. We show that the set of multiplication operators associated with an injective weighted shift on a rooted directed tree coincides with the WOT/SOT closure of the set of polynomials of the…
This work proves new results on the ability of binary Reed-Muller codes to decode from random errors and erasures. We obtain these results by proving improved bounds on the weight distribution of Reed-Muller codes of high degrees.…
New cross sections for the rotational excitation of H$_3^+$ by electrons are calculated {\it ab initio} at low impact energies. The validity of the adiabatic-nuclei-rotation (ANR) approximation, combined with $R$-matrix wavefunctions, is…
