Note on a Paper by Ooguri and Vafa
Tom Banks
In a recent paper, Ooguri and Vafa [arXiv:1610.04564] argued that a mild extension of the Weak Gravity conjecture\cite{weakgrav} led to the conclusion that the only models of quant…
Maximizing Science in the Era of LSST: A Community-Based Study of Needed US Capabilities
Joan Najita, Beth Willman, Douglas P. Finkbeiner +48
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be a discovery machine for the astronomy and physics communities, revealing astrophysical phenomena from the Solar System to the out…
Keyless authentication in the presence of a simultaneously transmitting adversary
Eric Graves, Paul Yu, Predrag Spasojevic
If Alice must communicate with Bob over a channel shared with the adversarial Eve, then Bob must be able to validate the authenticity of the message. In particular we consider the…
Spontaneous decays of magneto-elastic excitations in noncollinear antiferromagnet (Y,Lu)MnO3
Joosung Oh, Manh Duc Le, Ho-Hyun Nahm +12
When magnons and phonons, the fundamental quasiparticles of the solid, are coupled to one another, they form a new hybrid quasi-particle, leading to novel phenomena and interesting…
Testing Endogeneity with High Dimensional Covariates
Zijian Guo, Hyunseung Kang, T. Tony Cai +1
Modern, high dimensional data has renewed investigation on instrumental variables (IV) analysis, primarily focusing on estimation of effects of endogenous variables and putting lit…
Finite-size and composition-driven topological phase transition in (BiIn)Se thin films
Maryam Salehi, Hassan Shapourian, Nikesh Koirala +3
In a topological insulator (TI), if its spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength is gradually reduced, the TI eventually transforms into a trivial insulator beyond a critical point of SO…
Applications of Thin Orbits
Alex Kontorovich
This text is based on a series of three expository lectures on a variety of topics related to "thin orbits," as delivered at Durham University's Easter School on "Dynamics and Anal…
You are Who You Know and How You Behave: Attribute Inference Attacks via Users' Social Friends and Behaviors
Neil Zhenqiang Gong, Bin Liu
We propose new privacy attacks to infer attributes (e.g., locations, occupations, and interests) of online social network users. Our attacks leverage seemingly innocent user inform…
High-dimensional simultaneous inference with the bootstrap
Ruben Dezeure, Peter Bühlmann, Cun-Hui Zhang
We propose a residual and wild bootstrap methodology for individual and simultaneous inference in high-dimensional linear models with possibly non-Gaussian and heteroscedastic erro…
The Chasm at Depth Four, and Tensor Rank : Old results, new insights
Suryajith Chillara, Mrinal Kumar, Ramprasad Saptharishi +1
Agrawal and Vinay [AV08] showed how any polynomial size arithmetic circuit can be thought of as a depth four arithmetic circuit of subexponential size. The resulting circuit size i…
Approximate nonparametric maximum likelihood inference for mixture models via convex optimization
Long Feng, Lee H. Dicker
Nonparametric maximum likelihood (NPML) for mixture models is a technique for estimating mixing distributions that has a long and rich history in statistics going back to the 1950s…
A Necessary and Sufficient Condition for Local Maxima of Polynomial Modulus Over Unit Disc
Bahman Kalantari
An important quantity associated with a complex polynomial is , the maximum of its modulus over the unit disc . We prove, is a local max…
Electronic Structure, Optical and Dielectric Spectroscopy Study of TbMnO3
V. A. Trepakov, A. G. Dejneka, O. E. Kvyatkovskii +6
Spectral ellipsometry studies of the optical functions, first observation of photoluminescence and low frequency dielectric permittivity investigations were performed in ferroelect…
Friction from Reflectance: Deep Reflectance Codes for Predicting Physical Surface Properties from One-Shot In-Field Reflectance
Hang Zhang, Kristin Dana, Ko Nishino
Images are the standard input for vision algorithms, but one-shot infield reflectance measurements are creating new opportunities for recognition and scene understanding. In this w…
A remark on incoherent feedforward circuits as change detectors and feedback controllers
Eduardo D. Sontag
This note analyzes incoherent feedforward loops in signal processing and control. It studies the response properties of IFFL's to exponentially growing inputs, both for a standard…
