In this paper a simple (i.e. free of fine-tuning, etc.) new mechanism for
primordial black hole formation based on the collapse of large antimatter
systems in the early Universe is introduced. A peculiarity of this process is
that, compared...

This paper presents a novel mathematical framework for bridging the
explanatory gap (Levine, 1983) between consciousness and its physical
correlates. Specifically, we propose that qualia correspond to singularities in
the mathematical repre...
Interacting lattice systems with quantum dissipation: a quantum Monte
Carlo study

Strongly Correlated Electrons
Quantum dissipation arises when a large system can be split in a quantum
system and an environment where the energy of the former flows to.
Understanding the effect of dissipation on quantum many-body systems is of
particular importance due...
Variational characterization of the regularity of Monge-Brenier maps
April 2, 2017

On an abstract Wiener space, assume that T is the solution of the quadratic
Monge problem associated to the Wiener measure and a second one with a
Radon-Nikodym derivative of exponential type. Under the finite information
hypothesis, using ...

This study presents a specific symplectic map, derived from a Hamiltonian, as
a model that exhibits time-reversal symmetry on a microscopic scale. Based on
the analysis, any initial density function, defined almost everywhere,
converges to ...
Modular Hamiltonians on the null plane and the Markov property of the
vacuum state

High Energy Physics - Theory
We compute the modular Hamiltonians of regions having the future horizon
lying on a null plane. For a CFT this is equivalent to regions with boundary of
arbitrary shape lying on the null cone. These Hamiltonians have a local
expression on t...

In this paper, a concurrent learning based adaptive observer is developed for
a class of second-order nonlinear time-invariant systems with uncertain
dynamics. The developed technique results in simultaneous online state and
parameter estim...

Consider groups such as Mordell-Weil groups of abelian varieties over number
fields, odd algebraic K-theory groups of number fields, or finitely generated
subgroups of the multiplicative groups of number fields. They are all equipped
with...
