Dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard Chain for Weak Interactions

Martin L. R. Fürst, Christian B. Mendl, Herbert Spohn

We study the Boltzmann transport equation for the Bose-Hubbard chain in the kinetic regime. The time-dependent Wigner function is matrix-valued with odd dimension due to integer sp…

Renormalization of Loop Functions in QCD

Matthias Berwein, Nora Brambilla, Antonio Vairo

We give a short overview of the renormalization properties of rectangular Wilson loops, the Polyakov loop correlator and the cyclic Wilson loop. We then discuss how to renormalize…

On the Power Counting in Effective Field Theories

Gerhard Buchalla, Oscar Cata, Claudius Krause

We discuss the systematics of power counting in general effective field theories, focussing on those that are nonrenormalizable at leading order. As an illuminating example we cons…

Coexistence of synchrony and incoherence in oscillatory media under nonlinear global coupling

Lennart Schmidt, Konrad Schönleber, Katharina Krischer +1

We report a novel mechanism for the formation of chimera states, a peculiar spatiotemporal pattern with coexisting synchronized and incoherent domains found in ensembles of identic…

Vector-like leptons: Higgs decays and collider phenomenology

Adam Falkowski, David M. Straub, Avelino Vicente

We study the impact of heavy vector-like leptons on several observables in collider and low-energy physics. These states, present in many well-motivated extensions of the Standard…

Robustness of quadratic hedging strategies in finance via backward stochastic differential equations with jumps

Giulia Di Nunno, Asma Khedher, Michele Vanmaele

We consider a backward stochastic differential equation with jumps (BSDEJ) which is driven by a Brownian motion and a Poisson random measure. We present two candidate-approximation…

Natural seesaw realization at the TeV scale

Emiliano Molinaro

We summarize the phenomenological constraints on seesaw scenarios defined at the TeV scale and provide a simple extension of the Standard Model which naturally leads to a testable…

Teaching Software Process Modeling

Marco Kuhrmann, Daniel Méndez Fernández, Jürgen Münch

Most university curricula consider software processes to be on the fringes of software engineering (SE). Students are told there exists a plethora of software processes ranging fro…

331 models facing new b -> s mu^+ mu^- data

Andrzej J. Buras, Fulvia De Fazio, Jennifer Girrbach

We investigate how the 331 models face new data on B_{s,d}->mu^+mu^- and B_d->K^*mu^+mu^- taking into account present constraints from Delta F=2 observables, low energy precision m…

High-energy neutrino signals from the Sun in dark matter scenarios with internal bremsstrahlung

Alejandro Ibarra, Maximilian Totzauer, Sebastian Wild

We investigate the prospects to observe a high energy neutrino signal from dark matter annihilations in the Sun in scenarios where the dark matter is a Majorana fermion that couple…

Perturbative expansion of tau hadronic spectral function moments

Diogo Boito

In the extraction of from hadronic tau decay data several moments of the spectral functions have been employed. Furthermore, different renormalization group improvement (RGI)…

P-wave contribution to third-order top-quark pair production near threshold

M. Beneke, J. Piclum, T. Rauh

The next-to-leading order (NLO) P-wave Coulomb Green function contributes at third-order to top-pair production in e+ e- collisions near threshold. In this paper we compute the NLO…

Co-Sparse Textural Similarity for Image Segmentation

Claudia Nieuwenhuis, Daniel Cremers, Simon Hawe +1

We propose an algorithm for segmenting natural images based on texture and color information, which leverages the co-sparse analysis model for image segmentation within a convex mu…

Hyperon-nucleon interaction and baryonic contact terms in SU(3) chiral effective field theory

Stefan Petschauer

In this proceeding we summarize results for baryonic contact terms derived within SU(3) chiral effective field theory. The four-baryon contact terms, necessary for the description…
