Let K_n denote the smaller mode of the nth row of Stirling numbers of the second kind S(n, k). Using a probablistic argument, it is shown that for all n>=2, [exp(w(n))]-2<=K_n<=[exp(w(n))]+1, where [x] denotes the integer part of x, and…

The function $Q(x):=\sum_{n\ge 1} (1/n) \sin(x/n)$ was introduced by Hardy and Littlewood [10] in their study of Lambert summability, and since then it has attracted attention of many researchers. In particular, this function has made a…

In this talk we present theoretical evidence that the exclusive/inclusive ratio of semileptonic Lambda_b-decays exceeds that of semileptonic B-decays, where the experimental exclusive/inclusive ratio amounts to about 66%. We start from the…

The two-dimensional Ising model is studied at the boundary of a half-infinite cylinder. The three regular lattices (square, triangular and hexagonal) and the three regimes (sub-, super- and critical) are discussed. The probability of having…

We investigate the relations that must hold among baryonic Isgur-Wise functions $\eta_i$ in the large-N_c limit from unitarity constraints, and compare to those found by Chow using the Skyrme model [or SU(4)]. Given the exponential dropoff…

This paper considers inference on functionals of semi/nonparametric conditional moment restrictions with possibly nonsmooth generalized residuals, which include all of the (nonlinear) nonparametric instrumental variables (IV) as special…

We compute the two-loop soft function for the associated production of a top quark and a $W$ boson near the threshold, where the invariant mass of the $tW$ system approaches the collider energy. We employ the reverse unitarity technique and…

We calculate heavy quark symmetry breaking in the slopes and curvatures of the $B\to D^{(*)}\ell\bar\nu$ spectra at zero recoil, including the order $\alpha_s^2\beta_0$ corrections. We point out that the theoretical uncertainties in the…

We find a novel phenomenon in the solution to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation by solving numerically the equation assuming $O(4)$-symmetry and imposing the Hartle-Hawking wave function as a boundary condition. In the slow-roll limit, as…

Exclusive semileptonic B decays to radially excited charmed mesons are investigated at the first order of the heavy quark expansion. The arising leading and subleading Isgur-Wise functions are calculated in the framework of the relativistic…

This paper demonstrates that values of work functions W for a variety of planar and buckled two-dimensional (2D) materials scale linearly as a function of the quantity 1/r_{WS}, where r_{WS} is the Wigner-Seitz radius for a 2D material.…

Generating functions of BPS invariants for N=4 U(r) gauge theory on a Hirzebruch surface with r=2 and 3 are computed. The BPS invariants provide the Betti numbers of moduli spaces of semi-stable sheaves. The generating functions for r=2 are…

For $SU(N)$ superconformal QCD we perform a three-loop calculation of the generalized cusp anomalous dimension of the BPS Wilson loop operator using HQET formalism. We obtain an expression which is valid at generic geometric and internal…

In this thesis we show that the partial sums of the Maclaurin series for a certain class of entire functions possess scaling limits in various directions in the complex plane. In doing so we obtain information about the zeros of the partial…

We consider complex projective schemes $X\subset\Bbb{P}^{r}$ defined by quadratic equations and satisfying a technical hypothesis on the fibres of the rational map associated to the linear system of quadrics defining $X$. Our assumption is…

Exclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons to orbitally excited D mesons are considered beyond the infinitely heavy quark limit in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. This model agrees with the…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the statistic (des+ides) which assigns to an element w of a finite Coxeter group W the number of descents of w plus the number of descents of its inverse. Our main result is a central limit theorem for…

A fairly general Lorentz-covariant quark model of mesons is constructed. It has several versions whose nonrelativistic limit corresponds to the well-known Isgur, Scora, Grinstein, and Wise model. In the heavy-quark limit, the covariant…

Based on two point spline approximations of arbitrary order, a series of functions that define lower bounds for sin(x) and sin(x)/x, over the interval [0,Pi/2], with increasingly low relative errors and smaller relative errors than…

We derive Berry-Esseen approximation bounds for general functionals of independent random variables, based on chaos expansions methods. Our results apply to $U$-statistics satisfying the weak assumption of decomposability in the Hoeffding…
