We present preliminary results from simulations done on 170 $32^3 \times 64$ lattices at $\beta = 6.0$ using quenched Wilson fermions. This talk focuses on the $Q^2$ behavior of the form-factors, extrapolation in quark masses, dependence on…
We present the first calculation of the cross-correlation between three-dimensional cosmic shear and the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (iSW) effect. Both signals are combined in a single formalism, which permits the computation of the full…
The problem of finding an optimum using noisy evaluations of a smooth cost function arises in many contexts, including economics, business, medicine, experiment design, and foraging theory. We derive an asymptotic bound E[ (x_t - x*)^2 ] >=…
In this paper, we prove the restriction estimates for 2D surfaces S:= {(xi1, xi2, xi1^3 +/- xi2^3) : (xi1, xi2) in [0,1]^2} by reducing to Wang-Wu's result on the perturbed paraboloid and to the results on the perturbed hyperboloid obtained…
Let G={G(x), x\in R_+}, G(0)=0, be a mean zero Gaussian process with $E(G(x)-G(y))^2=\sigma ^2(x-y) $. Let $ \rho (x)= \frac12{d^{2}\over dx^2}\sigma^2(x)$, $x\ne 0 $. When $\rho^{k}$ is integrable at zero and satisfies some additional…
The three-loop QCD contributions to the vacuum polarization functions of the $Z$ and $W$ bosons at zero momentum are calculated. The top quark is considered to be massive and the other quarks massless. Using these results, we calculate the…
Semileptonic B decays are described by the Isgur-Wise form factor to the leading order in 1/m; four new functions appear in the first order [Luke]. Values of these functions are crucial for the applicability of the whole approach to…
We use nonstandard analysis to study the problem of expressing a Gaussian integral in terms of the limiting behavior of a sequence of spherical integrals. Peterson and Sengupta proved that if a Gaussian measure $\mu$ has full support on a…
We show that, if $\mathbf{W} \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times N}_{\mathsf{sym}}$ is drawn from the gaussian orthogonal ensemble, then with high probability the degree 4 sum-of-squares relaxation cannot certify an upper bound on the objective…
We pursue the program of the study of the non-forward amplitude in HQET. We obtain new sum rules involving the elastic subleading form factors $\chi_i(w)$ $(i = 1,2, 3)$ at order $1/m_Q$ that originate from the ${\cal L}_{kin}$ and ${\cal…
