Kulikov singularities

Jan Stevens

In the study of normal surface singularities the relation between analytical and topological properties and invariants of the singularity is a very rich problem. This relation is p…

Transition metal dichalcogenide nanodisks as high-index dielectric Mie nanoresonators

Ruggero Verre, Denis G. Baranov, Battulga Munkhbat +3

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently been proposed as a unique excitonic platform for advanced optical and electronic functionalities. However, in spite…

How to Increase the Achievable Information Rate by Per-Channel Dispersion Compensation

Kamran Keykhosravi, Marco Secondini, Giuseppe Durisi +1

Deploying periodic inline chromatic dispersion compensation enables reducing the complexity of the digital back propagation (DBP) algorithm. However, compared with nondispersion-ma…

Fluid-structure interaction of a large ice sheet in waves

Luofeng Huang, Kang Ren, Minghao Li +3

With global warming, the ice-covered areas in the Arctic are being transformed into open water. This provides increased impetus for extensive maritime activities and attracts resea…

algebras for extended geometry

Martin Cederwall, Jakob Palmkvist

Extended geometry provides a unified framework for double geometry, exceptional geometry, etc., i.e., for the geometrisations of the string theory and M-theory dualities. In this t…

A Casimir preserving scheme for long-time simulation of spherical ideal hydrodynamics

Klas Modin, Milo Viviani

The incompressible 2D Euler equations on a sphere constitute a fundamental model in hydrodynamics. The long-time behaviour of solutions is largely unknown; statistical mechanics pr…

Trip Prediction by Leveraging Trip Histories from Neighboring Users

Yuxin Chen, Morteza Haghir Chehreghani

We propose a novel approach for trip prediction by analyzing user's trip histories. We augment users' (self-) trip histories by adding 'similar' trips from other users, which could…

Learning Representations from Dendrograms

Morteza Haghir Chehreghani, Mostafa Haghir Chehreghani

We propose unsupervised representation learning and feature extraction from dendrograms. The commonly used Minimax distance measures correspond to building a dendrogram with single…

Optimization of flux-surface density variation in stellarator plasmas with respect to the transport of collisional impurities

Stefan Buller, Håkan M. Smith, Albert Mollén +2

Avoiding impurity accumulation is a requirement for steady-state stellarator operation. The accumulation of impurities can be heavily affected by variations in their density on the…

Efficient Error-Correcting Codes in the Short Blocklength Regime

Mustafa Cemil Coşkun, Giuseppe Durisi, Thomas Jerkovits +4

The design of block codes for short information blocks (e.g., a thousand or less information bits) is an open research problem that is gaining relevance thanks to emerging applicat…

Divide and color representations for threshold Gaussian and stable vectors

Malin Palö Forsström, Jeffrey E. Steif

We study the question of when a (\{0,1\})-valued threshold process associated to a mean zero Gaussian or a symmetric stable vector corresponds to a {\it divide and color (DC) proce…

A quotient of the Lubin-Tate tower II

Christian Johansson, Judith Ludwig, David Hansen

In this article we construct the quotient M_1/P(K) of the infinite-level Lubin-Tate space M_1 by the parabolic subgroup P(K) of GL(n,K) of block form (n-1,1) as a perfectoid space,…
