Radio-assay of Titanium samples for the LUX Experiment

D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +63

We report on the screening of samples of titanium metal for their radio-purity. The screening process described in this work led to the selection of materials used in the construct…

Generalized Cohomologies and Supersymmetry

Li-Sheng Tseng, Shing-Tung Yau

We show that the complex cohomologies of Bott, Chern, and Aeppli and the symplectic cohomologies of Tseng and Yau arise in the context of type II string theory. Specifically, they…

Multi-particle Auger dissociation of excitons in shallow doped carbon nanotubes

Jay D. Sau, Jared J. Crochet, Miguel Dimas +3

Shallow hole-doping in small diameter single-wall carbon nanotubes by HO is shown to result in delocalized excited state quenching with no effects on the ground state absor…

Truthful Mechanisms for Agents that Value Privacy

Yiling Chen, Stephen Chong, Ian A. Kash +2

Recent work has constructed economic mechanisms that are both truthful and differentially private. In these mechanisms, privacy is treated separately from the truthfulness; it is n…

On a Class of Shrinkage Priors for Covariance Matrix Estimation

Hao Wang, Natesh S. Pillai

We propose a flexible class of models based on scale mixture of uniform distributions to construct shrinkage priors for covariance matrix estimation. This new class of priors enjoy…

The Isotropic Semicircle Law and Deformation of Wigner Matrices

Antti Knowles, Jun Yin

We analyse the spectrum of additive finite-rank deformations of Wigner matrices . The spectrum of the deformed matrix undergoes a transition, associated with the cr…

Lifting non-proper tropical intersections

Brian Osserman, Joseph Rabinoff

We prove that if X, X' are closed subschemes of a torus T over a non-Archimedean field K, of complementary codimension and with finite intersection, then the stable tropical inters…

Social Contagion Theory: Examining Dynamic Social Networks and Human Behavior

Nicholas A. Christakis, James H. Fowler

Here, we review the research we have done on social contagion. We describe the methods we have employed (and the assumptions they have entailed) in order to examine several dataset…

Quantum Computing Without Wavefunctions: Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory for Universal Quantum Computation

David G. Tempel, Alan Aspuru-Guzik

We prove that the theorems of TDDFT can be applied to a class of qubit Hamiltonians that are universal for quantum computation. The theorems of TDDFT applied to universal Hamiltoni…

An Improved Forecast of Patchy Reionization Reconstruction with CMB

Meng Su, Amit P. S. Yadav, Matthew McQuinn +2

Inhomogeneous reionization gives rise to angular fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) optical depth tau(n) to the last scattering surface, correlating different sp…

Pairings of automorphic distributions

Stephen D. Miller, Wilfried Schmid

We present a pairing of automorphic distributions that applies in situations where a Lie group acts with an open orbit on a product of generalized flag varieties. The pairing gives…

Rhythms of Memory and Bits on Edge: Symbol Recognition as a Physical Phenomenon

John M. Myers, F. Hadi Madjid

Preoccupied with measurement, physics has neglected the need, before anything can be measured, to recognize what it is that is to be measured. The recognition of symbols employs a…

Dramatic reduction of surface recombination by in-situ surface passivation of silicon nanowires

Yaping Dan, Kwanyong Seo, Kuniharu Takei +3

Nanowires have unique optical properties [1-4] and are considered as important building blocks for energy harvesting applications such as solar cells. [2, 5-8] However, due to thei…

Turbulent formation of protogalaxies at the plasma to gas transition

Rudolph E. Schild, Carl H. Gibson

The standard model of gravitational structure formation is based on the Jeans 1902 acoustic theory, neglecting crucial effects of viscosity, turbulence and diffusion. A Jeans lengt…
