Periodic Sequences of Arbitrage: A Tale of Four Currencies

Rod Cross, Victor Kozyakin, Brian O'Callaghan +2

This paper investigates arbitrage chains involving four currencies and four foreign exchange trader-arbitrageurs. In contrast with the three-currency case, we find that arbitrage o…

Cartesian and polar Schmidt bases for down-converted photons

Filippo M. Miatto, Thomas Brougham, Alison M. Yao

We derive an analytical form of the Schmidt modes of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) biphotons in both Cartesian and polar coordinates. We show that these correspond…

Light-cone-like spreading of correlations in a quantum many-body system

Marc Cheneau, Peter Barmettler, Dario Poletti +7

How fast can correlations spread in a quantum many-body system? Based on the seminal work by Lieb and Robinson, it has recently been shown that several interacting many-body system…

Pattern avoidance in ascent sequences

Paul Duncan, Einar Steingrimsson

Ascent sequences are sequences of nonnegative integers with restrictions on the size of each letter, depending on the number of ascents preceding it in the sequence. Ascent sequenc…

Quantum effects in spontaneous emission by a relativistic, undulating electron beam

G. R. M. Robb, R. Bonifacio

Current models of the effect of spontaneous emission on the electron beam dynamics neglect the discreteness of electron recoil associated with photon emission. We present a novel,…

Steady State Solutions of a Mass-Conserving Bistable Equation with a Saturating Flux

Martin Burns, Michael Grinfeld

We consider a mass-conserving bistable equation with a saturating flux on an interval. This is the quasilinear analogue of the Rubinstein-Steinberg equation, suitable for descripti…
