Null energy constraints on two-dimensional RG flows

Grégoire Olivier Mathys

We study applications of spectral positivity and the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) to renormalization group (RG) flows in two-dimensional quantum field theory. We find a succinct new proof of the Zamolodchikov c-theorem, and derive further independ ...

Diversity of radial spin textures in chiral materials

Oleg Yazyev, Alberto Crepaldi, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez

We introduce a classification of the radial spin textures in momentum space that emerge at the high-symmetry points in crystals characterized by nonpolar chiral point groups (D2, D3, D4, D6, T, O). Based on the symmetry constraints imposed by these point g ...

Learning of Continuous and Piecewise-Linear Functions With Hessian Total-Variation Regularization

Michaël Unser, Shayan Aziznejad, Joaquim Gonçalves Garcia Barreto Campos

We develop a novel 2D functional learning framework that employs a sparsity-promoting regularization based on second-order derivatives. Motivated by the nature of the regularizer, we restrict the search space to the span of piecewise-linear box splines shi ...

Accurate equilibrium-based interlaminar stress recovery for isogeometric laminated composite Kirchhoff plates

Pablo Antolin Sanchez

Despite the accelerated deployment of laminated composites in a wide variety of markets due to their peculiar engineering features, the design of those materials is often restrained by the lack of cost-efficient modeling techniques. In fact, the existing s ...

On the choice of metric in gradient-based theories of brain function

Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea, Jean-Pascal Théodor Pfister

The idea that the brain functions so as to minimize certain costs pervades theoretical neuroscience. Because a cost function by itself does not predict how the brain finds its minima, additional assumptions about the optimization method need to be made to ...

An optimized self-sensing piezoelectric cantilever for micro-robotic applications

Yves Perriard, Louis Antoine Masson, Xinchang Liu

Quasi-static piezoelectric actuators are used in micro-robotics due to the small displacements they can achieve, and they have been proven to be suitable for Self-Sensing Actuation (SSA) applications. The morphology and material of an actuator, and therefo ...

Contributions to Modelling Extremes of Spatial Data

Linda Frossard

The increasing interest in using statistical extreme value theory to analyse environmental data is mainly driven by the large impact extreme events can have. A difficulty with spatial data is that most existing inference methods for asymptotically justifie ...

Nondispersive Decay For The Cubic Wave Equation

Roland Donninger

We consider the hyperboloidal initial value problem for the cubic focusing wave equation (-partial derivative(2)(t) + Delta(x))nu(t, x) + nu(t, x)(3) = 0, x is an element of R-3 Without symmetry assumptions, we prove the existence of a codimension-4 Lipsch ...

Hessian Schatten-Norm Regularization for Linear Inverse Problems

Michaël Unser, John Paul Ward, Stamatios Lefkimmiatis

We introduce a novel family of invariant, convex, and non-quadratic functionals that we employ to derive regularized solutions of ill-posed linear inverse imaging problems. The proposed regularizers involve the Schatten norms of the Hessian matrix, which a ...

On equalities involving integrals of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta-function and equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis

Serguei Sekatski

By using the generalized Littlewood theorem about a contour integral involving the logarithm of an analytic function, we show how an infinite number of integral equalities involving integrals of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta-function and equivalent to ...

A Second-Order Extension Of Tv Regularization For Image Deblurring

Michaël Unser, Aurélien Bourquard, Zafer Dogan, Stamatios Lefkimmiatis

In this paper, we propose a novel second-order regularizer based on the maximum response of the second-order directional derivative, assuming that the image under consideration belongs to the class of piecewise-linear signals. Compared to total-variation r ...

Spatial Fringe Analysis Methods and their Application to Holographic Interferometry and Fringe Projection Techniques

Sai Siva Gorthi

To date, no fringe analysis technique has the capability to provide simultaneous and direct estimation of the continuous distributions corresponding to the interference phase and its first and second-order derivatives within the framework of a single inter ...

Introducing symmetry conditions in the integral equation technique applied to quasi-waveguide structures

Juan Ramon Mosig, Michael Mattes, Laleh Golestanirad

Integral Equation (IE) formulation solved by Method of Moments may be used efficiently to address the problem of quasi-waveguide structures, i.e. structures consisting of a main waveguide with a constant cross section that may bear an arbitrary number of p ...

A path integral formalism of DNA looping probability

Ludovica Cotta-Ramusino

In this thesis we describe a path integral formalism to evaluate approximations to the probability density function for the location and orientation of one end of a continuum polymer chain at thermodynamic equilibrium with a heat bath. We concentrate on th ...

Metastable supergravity vacua with F and D supersymmetry breaking

Claudio Scrucca

We study the conditions under which a generic supergravity model involving chiral and vector multiplets can admit viable metastable vacua with spontaneously broken supersymmetry and realistic cosmological constant. To do so, we impose that on the vacuum th ...
