A Rigorous Framework for Specification, Analysis and Enforcement of Access Control Policies

Andrea Margheri, Massimiliano Masi, Rosario Pugliese +1

Access control systems are widely used means for the protection of computing systems. They are defined in terms of access control policies regulating the accesses to system resourc…

Quantifying the degree of average contraction of Collatz orbits

Timoteo Carletti, Duccio Fanelli

We here elaborate on a quantitative argument to support the validity of the Collatz conjecture, also known as the (3x + 1) or Syracuse conjecture. The analysis is structured as fol…

Radiation enhancement and "temperature" in the collapse regime of gravitational scattering

Marcello Ciafaloni, Dimitri Colferai

We generalize the semiclassical treatment of graviton radiation to gravitational scattering at very large energies and finite scattering angles , so as to ap…

Theta dependence in Holographic QCD

Lorenzo Bartolini, Francesco Bigazzi, Stefano Bolognesi +2

We study the effects of the CP-breaking topological -term in the large QCD model by Witten, Sakai and Sugimoto with degenerate light flavors. We first compute the gr…

Three-dimensional Topological Insulators and Bosonization

Andrea Cappelli, Enrico Randellini, Jacopo Sisti

Massless excitations at the surface of three-dimensional time-reversal invariant topological insulators possess both fermionic and bosonic descriptions, originating from band theor…

The WISSH Quasars Project I. Powerful ionised outflows in hyper-luminous quasars

M. Bischetti, E. Piconcelli, G. Vietri +19

Models and observations suggest that both power and effects of AGN feedback should be maximised in hyper-luminous (L_Bol>10^47 erg/s) quasars, i.e. objects at the brightest end of…
