From Entanglement Witness to Generalized Catalan Numbers

Eliahu Cohen, Tobias Hansen, Nissan Itzhaki

The problem of entanglement detection for arbitrary spin systems is analyzed. We demonstrate how a single measurement of the squared total spin can probabilistically discern separa…

Vacuum decay in an interacting multiverse

S. Robles-Pérez, A. Alonso-Serrano, C. Bastos +1

We examine a new multiverse scenario in which the component universes interact. We focus our attention to the process of "true" vacuum nucleation in the false vacuum within one sin…

Red galaxies with pseudo-bulges in the SDSS: closer to disk galaxies or to classical bulges?

B. Ribeiro, C. Lobo, S. Antón +2

Pseudo-bulges are expected to markedly differ from classical, quasi-monolithically forming bulges in their star formation history (SFH) and chemical abundance patterns. To test thi…

A young star-forming galaxy at z = 3.5 with an extended Ly\, halo seen with MUSE

Vera Patrício, Johan Richard, Anne Verhamme +12

Spatially resolved studies of high redshift galaxies, an essential insight into galaxy formation processes, have been mostly limited to stacking or unusually bright objects. We pre…

Complete kappa-reducibility of pseudovarieties of the form DRH

Jorge Almeida, Célia Borlido

We denote by kappa the implicit signature that contains the multiplication and the (omega-1)-power. It is proved that for any completely kappa-reducible pseudovariety of groups H,…

The kappa-word problem over DRH

Célia Borlido

Let H be a pseudovariety of groups in which the kappa-word problem is decidable. Here, kappa denotes the canonical implicit signature, which consists of the multiplication and the…

Some reducibility properties for pseudovarieties of the form DRH

Célia Borlido

Let H be a pseudovariety of groups and DRH be the pseudovariety containing all finite semigroups whose regular R-classes belong to H. We study the relationship between reducibility…

Exploring the spectroscopic diversity of type Ia supernovae with DRACULA: a machine learning approach

Michele Sasdelli, E. E. O. Ishida, R. Vilalta +8

The existence of multiple subclasses of type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) has been the subject of great debate in the last decade. One major challenge inevitably met when trying to infer…

The XMM Cluster Survey: The Halo Occupation Number of BOSS galaxies in X-ray clusters

Nicola Mehrtens, A. Kathy Romer, Robert C. Nichol +26

We present a direct measurement of the mean halo occupation distribution (HOD) of galaxies taken from the eleventh data release (DR11) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Os…

Guiding light via geometric phases

Sergei Slussarenko, Alessandro Alberucci, Chandroth P. Jisha +4

Known methods for transverse confinement and guidance of light can be grouped into a few basic mechanisms, the most common being metallic reflection, total internal reflection and…

"Piaf" vs "Adele": classifying encyclopedic queries using automatically labeled training data

Pedro Saleiro, Luís Sarmento

Encyclopedic queries express the intent of obtaining information typically available in encyclopedias, such as biographical, geographical or historical facts. In this paper, we tra…

POPmine: Tracking Political Opinion on the Web

Pedro Saleiro, Sílvio Amir, Mário J. Silva +1

The automatic content analysis of mass media in the social sciences has become necessary and possible with the raise of social media and computational power. One particularly promi…

The Kepler-454 System: A Small, Not-rocky Inner Planet, a Jovian World, and a Distant Companion

Sara Gettel, David Charbonneau, Courtney D. Dressing +47

Kepler-454 (KOI-273) is a relatively bright (V = 11.69 mag), Sun-like starthat hosts a transiting planet candidate in a 10.6 d orbit. From spectroscopy, we estimate the stellar tem…

Is there switching without suspended horseshoes?

Alexandre Rodrigues

In general, infinite switching behaviour near networks is associated with the existence of suspended horseshoes. Trajectories that realize switching lie within these transitive set…

The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets. XXXIX. HD175607 b, the most metal-poor G dwarf with an orbiting sub-Neptune

A. Mortier, J. P. Faria, N. C. Santos +16

Context. The presence of a small-mass planet (M0.1\,M) seems, to date, not to depend on metallicity, however, theoretical simulations have shown that stars with subsol…
