We have remeasured the absolute $1S$-$2S$ transition frequency $\nu_{\rm {H}}$ in atomic hydrogen. A comparison with the result of the previous measurement performed in 1999 sets a limit of $(-29\pm 57)$ Hz for the drift of $\nu_{\rm {H}}$…

The largest contributions to the $n=2$ Lamb-shift, fine structure interval and $2s$ hyperfine structure of muonic hydrogen are calculated by exact numerical evaluations of the Dirac equation, rather than by a perturbation expansion in…

Many physical theories beyond the Standard Model predict time variations of basic physics parameters. Direct measurement of the time variations of these parameters is very difficult or impossible to achieve. By contrast, measurements of…

We report on the spectroscopy of radio-frequency transitions between nearly-degenerate, opposite-parity excited states in atomic dysprosium (Dy). Theoretical calculations predict that these states are very sensitive to variation of the…

In this short note, using notions from $p$-Adic QFT and $p$-branes, we derive the transfinite M $theoretical$ corrections $(\alpha_M)^{-1} = 100 + 61 \phi$ to El Naschie's inverse fine structure constant value $(\alpha_{HS})^{-1}= 100 +…

Many modern theories predict that the fundamental constants depend on time, position, or the local density of matter. We develop a spectroscopic method for pulsed beams of cold molecules, and use it to measure the frequencies of microwave…

Tian's criterion for K-stability states that a Fano variety of dimension $n$ whose alpha invariant is greater than $\frac{n}{n+1}$ is K-stable. We show that this criterion is sharp by constructing singular Fano varieties with alpha…

Although Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) scales as O(d^(1/4)) in dimension, there is a large constant factor determined by the curvature of the target density. This constant factor can be reduced in most cases through preconditioning, the…
