Systematic Dimensionality Reduction for Quantum Walks: Optimal Spatial Search and Transport on Non-Regular Graphs

Leonardo Novo, Shantanav Chakraborty, Masoud Mohseni +2

Continuous time quantum walks provide an important framework for designing new algorithms and modelling quantum transport and state transfer problems. Often, the graph representing…

Macroscopic (and Microscopic) Massless Modes

Michael C. Abbott, Inês Aniceto

We study certain spinning strings exploring the flat directions of AdS3 x S3 x S3 x S1, the massless sector cousins of su(2) and sl(2) sector spinning strings. We describe these, a…

Chiral Squaring

S. Nagy

We construct the states and symmetries of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills by tensoring two N = 1 chiral multiplets and introducing two extra SUSY generators. This allows us to write the max…

Future sensitivity of neutrino telescopes to dark matter annihilations from the cosmic diffuse neutrino signal

Angeles Moline, Alejandro Ibarra, Sergio Palomares-Ruiz

Cosmological observations and cold dark matter N-body simulations indicate that our Universe is populated by numerous halos, where dark matter particles annihilate, potentially pro…

Spin and quadrupole contributions to the motion of astrophysical binaries

Jan Steinhoff

Compact objects in general relativity approximately move along geodesics of spacetime. It is shown that the corrections to geodesic motion due to spin (dipole), quadrupole, and hig…

Chiral-symmetry breaking and confinement in Minkowski space

Elmar P. Biernat, M. T. Peña, J. E. Ribeiro +2

We present a model for the quark-antiquark interaction formulated in Minkowski space using the Covariant Spectator Theory. The quark propagators are dressed with the same kernel th…

A convex formulation for hyperspectral image superresolution via subspace-based regularization

Miguel Simões, José Bioucas-Dias, Luis B. Almeida +1

Hyperspectral remote sensing images (HSIs) usually have high spectral resolution and low spatial resolution. Conversely, multispectral images (MSIs) usually have low spectral and h…

Probing phase-space noncommutativity through quantum mechanics and thermodynamics of free particles and quantum rotors

Catarina Bastos, Alex E. Bernardini, Jonas F. G. Santos

Novel quantization properties related to the state vectors and the energy spectrum of a two-dimensional system of free particles are obtained in the framework of noncommutative (NC…

On the Gieseker Harder-Narasimhan filtration for principal bundles

Indranil Biswas, Alfonso Zamora

We give an example of an orthogonal bundle where the Harder-Narasimhan filtration, with respect to Gieseker semistability, of its underlying vector bundle does not correspond to an…

Lattice investigation of heavy meson interactions

Björn Wagenbach, Pedro Bicudo, Marc Wagner

We report on a lattice investigation of heavy meson interactions and of tetraquark candidates with two very heavy quarks. These two quarks are treated in the static limit, while th…

Particle Merging Algorithm for PIC Codes

Marija Vranic, Thomas Grismayer, Joana L. Martins +2

Particle-in-cell merging algorithms aim to resample dynamically the six-dimensional phase space occupied by particles without distorting substantially the physical description of t…

Searches for Anisotropies in the Arrival Directions of the Highest Energy Cosmic Rays Detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory

Pierre Auger Collaboration

We analyze the distribution of arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory in 10 years of operation. The data set, about three time…

Tomographic-spectral approach for dark matter detection in the cross-correlation between cosmic shear and diffuse gamma-ray emission

Stefano Camera, Mattia Fornasa, Nicolao Fornengo +1

We recently proposed to cross-correlate the diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray background with the gravitational lensing signal of cosmic shear. This represents a novel and promising…

Magnetic Reconnection Onset via Disruption of a Forming Current Sheet by the Tearing Instability

Dmitri A. Uzdensky, Nuno F. Loureiro

The recent realization that Sweet-Parker current sheets are violently unstable to the secondary tearing (plasmoid) instability implies that such current sheets cannot occur in real…
