A Closer Look at Benchmarking Self-supervised Pre-training with Image Classification

Self-supervised learning (SSL) is a machine learning approach where the data itself provides supervision, eliminating the need for external labels. The model is forced to learn about the data's inherent structure or context by solving a pretext task. With ...

RG flows in de Sitter: C-functions and sum rules

Manuel Loparco

We study the renormalization group flow of unitary Quantum Field Theories on two-dimensional de Sitter (dS) spacetime. We prove the existence of two functions of the radius of dS that interpolate between the central charges of the UV and IR fixed points of ...

Identifying Large Charge operators

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Gil Badel

The Large Charge sector of Conformal Field Theory (CFT) can generically be described through a semiclassical expansion around a superfluid background. In this work, focussing on U(1) invariant Wilson-Fisher fixed points, we study the spectrum of spinning l ...

Nonperturbative Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime

Kamran Salehi Vaziri

Quantum Field Theory(QFT) as one of the most promising frameworks to study high energy and condensed matter physics, has been mostly developed by perturbative methods. However, perturbative methods can only capture a small island of the space of QFTs. QFT ...

Dynamical low rank approximation for uncertainty quantification of time-dependent problems

Eva Vidlicková

The quantification of uncertainties can be particularly challenging for problems requiring long-time integration as the structure of the random solution might considerably change over time. In this respect, dynamical low-rank approximation (DLRA) is very a ...

On the stress tensor light-ray operator algebra

Matthew Thomas Walters, Grégoire Olivier Mathys, Alexandre Mathieu Frédéric Belin

We study correlation functions involving generalized ANEC operators of the form integral dx-x-n+2T--x -> in four dimensions. We compute two, three, and ...

A note on the large charge expansion in 4d CFT

Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

In this letter, we discuss certain universal predictions of the large charge expansion in conformal field theories with U (1) symmetry, mainly focusing on four-dimensional theories. We show that, while in three dimensions quantum fluctuations are responsib ...

Sparsely Observed Functional Time Series: Theory and Applications

Tomas Rubin

Functional time series is a temporally ordered sequence of not necessarily independent random curves. While the statistical analysis of such data has been traditionally carried out under the assumption of completely observed functional data, it may well ha ...

Local Vulnerabilities and Global Robustness of Coupled Dynamical Systems on Complex Networks

Melvyn Sandy Tyloo

Coupled dynamical systems are omnipresent in everyday life. In general, interactions between individual elements composing the system are captured by complex networks. The latter greatly impact the way coupled systems are functioning and evolving in time. ...

Momentum space CFT correlators for Hamiltonian truncation

Matthew Thomas Walters

We consider Lorentzian CFT Wightman functions in momentum space. In particular, we derive a set of reference formulas for computing two- and three-point functions, restricting our attention to three-point functions where the middle operator (corresponding ...

Causal role of the inferolateral prefrontal cortex in balancing goal-directed and habitual control of behavior

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Successful adaptation to complex environments depends on the balance of at least two systems: a flexible but slow goal-directed system encoding action-outcome associations and an efficient but rigid habitual system linking responses to preceding stimuli. R ...

Dislocation Cross-Slip in Face-Centered Cubic Solid Solution Alloys

Wolfram Georg Nöhring

The mechanical strength of metals depends on their resistance against various microscopic deformation processes. In ductile metals, the most important process is shearing of the crystal lattice by dislocations. One of the fundamental aspects of dislocation ...

Dissecting the brown adipogenic regulatory network using integrative genomics

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Daniel Alpern, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Julie Marie Russeil, Wanze Chen, Johannes Julius Bues, Rachana Narendra Pradhan

Brown adipocytes regulate energy expenditure via mitochondrial uncoupling, which makes them attractive therapeutic targets to tackle obesity. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying brown adipogenesis are still poorly understood. To address this, we ...

About individual differences in vision

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Aaron Michael Clarke, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

In cognition, audition, and somatosensation, performance strongly correlates between different paradigms, which suggests the existence of common factors. In contrast, visual performance in seemingly very similar tasks, such as visual and bisection acuity, ...

Semiclassics, Goldstone bosons and CFT data

Fiona Katharina Seibold, Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, David Pirtskhalava

Hellerman et al. (arXiv:1505.01537) have shown that in a generic CFT the spectrum of operators carrying a large U(1) charge can be analyzed semiclassically in an expansion in inverse powers of the charge. The key is the operator state correspondence by whi ...

Usefulness of ambient-vibration measurements for seismic assessment of existing structures

Ian Smith, Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland

A large number of buildings in regions with low to medium seismic hazard have been designed without considering earthquake actions. Retrofitting of all buildings that fail to meet modern code requirements is economically, technically and environmentally un ...

A posteriori error estimation for the steady Navier-Stokes equations in random domains

Fabio Nobile, Marco Picasso, Diane Sylvie Guignard

We consider finite element error approximations of the steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations defined on a randomly perturbed domain, the perturbation being small. Introducing a random mapping, these equations are transformed into PDEs on a fixed re ...

Information-Theoretic Caching: Sequential Coding for Computing

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Chien-Yi Wang, Sung Hoon Lim

Under the paradigm of caching, partial data are delivered before the actual requests of users are known. In this paper, this problem is modeled as a canonical distributed source coding problem with side information, where the side information represents th ...
