Nonempirical semilocal density functionals for correcting the self-interaction of polaronic states

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta

Through the use of the piecewise-linearity condition of the total energy, we correct the self-interaction for the study of polarons by constructing nonempirical functionals at the semilocal level of theory. We consider two functionals, the gamma DFT and mu ...

Correspondence functors and duality

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

A correspondence functor is a functor from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. By means of a suitably defined duality, new correspondence functors are constructed, having remarkable p ...

Fourier non-uniqueness sets from totally real number fields

Martin Peter Stoller

Let K be a totally real number field of degree n >= 2. The inverse different of K gives rise to a lattice in Rn. We prove that the space of Schwartz Fourier eigenfunctions on R-n which vanish on the "component-wise square root" of this lattice, is infinite ...

A Functional Perspective on Information Measures

Amedeo Roberto Esposito

Since the birth of Information Theory, researchers have defined and exploited various information measures, as well as endowed them with operational meanings. Some were born as a "solution to a problem", like Shannon's Entropy and Mutual Information. Other ...

A Unified Theory of Robust and Distributionally Robust Optimization via the Primal-Worst-Equals-Dual-Best Principle

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann, Jianzhe Zhen

Robust and distributionally robust optimization are modeling paradigms for decision-making under uncertainty where the uncertain parameters are only known to reside in an uncertainty set or are governed by any probability distribution from within an ambigu ...

Spectral self-imaging of optical orbital angular momentum modes

Camille Sophie Brès, Jianqi Hu

The Talbot self-imaging effect is mostly present in the forms of space or time, or in the frequency domain by the Fourier duality. Here, we disclose a new spectral Talbot effect arising in optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes. The effect occurs in ...

On Herz'S Extension Theorem

Antoine Derighetti

We present a self-contained proof of the following famous extension theorem due to Carl Herz. A closed subgroup H of a locally compact group G is a set of p-synthesis in G if and only if, for every u is an element of A(p)(H) boolean AND C-00(H) and for eve ...

For Their Own Good and For the Good of Others: Identity Duality in New Venture Evaluation and Investor Decision-Making

Nettra Danette Pan

Organizing is a managerial process which demands a sense of purpose. When stories about "who we are" and "what we do" are salient and coherent (Voss, Cable & Voss, 2006), organizations can better plan, explain and justify collective action (Whetten & Macke ...

SETS OF p-UNIQUENESS ON NONCOMMUTATIVE LOCALLY COMPACT GROUPS

Antoine Derighetti

We prove that a closed subgroup H of a locally compact group G is a set of p-uniqueness (1 < p < infinity) if and only if H is locally negligible. We also obtain the inverse projection theorem for sets of p-uniqueness. ...

Large Sieve Inequalities for Algebraic Trace Functions

Philippe Michel, Ping Xi

The large sieve inequalities for algebraic trace functions are considered in this article. A fundamental iterative relation is established by classical Fourier analysis, and l-adic Fourier analysis and multiplicative convolutions of sheaves are also requir ...

Fixed Points For Bounded Orbits In Hilbert Spaces

Nicolas Monod, Maxime Gheysens

Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact a-compact groups (e.g., countabl ...

Representing groups against all odds

Maxime Gheysens

We investigate how probability tools can be useful to study representations of non-amenable groups. A suitable notion of "probabilistic subgroup" is proposed for locally compact groups, and is valuable to induction of representations. Nonamenable groups ad ...

Injection Theorem For Local Ditkin Sets

Antoine Derighetti

For Figa-Talamanca-Herz algebras A(p)(G), 1 < p < infinity, of a locally compact group G and a closed subgroup H of G, we prove an injection theorem for local Ditkin sets. ...

Amenable hyperbolic groups

Nicolas Monod

We give a complete characterization of the locally compact groups that are nonelementary Gromov-hyperbolic and amenable. They coincide with the class of mapping tori of discrete or continuous one-parameter groups of compacting automorphisms. We moreover gi ...

Convex computation of the region of attraction of polynomial control systems

Milan Korda

We address the long-standing problem of computing the region of attraction (ROA) of a target set (typically a neighborhood of an equilibrium point) of a controlled nonlinear system with polynomial dynamics and semialgebraic state and input constraints. We ...

Normal generation of locally compact groups

Nicolas Monod, Amichai Netanel Eisenmann

It is a well-known open problem since the 1970s whether a finitely generated perfect group can be normally generated by a single element or not. We prove that the topological version of this problem has an affirmative answer as long as we exclude infinite ...

L-2-Betti numbers of locally compact groups

Henrik Densing Petersen

The present paper is a summary and overview of results obtained in the author's thesis, "L-2-Betti Numbers of Locally Compact Groups", wherein the definition of L-2-Betti numbers for countable groups is extended to locally compact unimodular groups. In man ...

Decomposing locally compact groups into simple pieces

Nicolas Monod

We present a contribution to the structure theory of locally compact groups. The emphasis is put on compactly generated locally compact groups which admit no infinite discrete quotient. It is shown that such a group possesses a characteristic cocompact sub ...
